Timing

Chapter 16

2 weeks later.

Two days turned into one then two weeks. Time was my enemy.

Last night Nick called me to tell me he would meet me at the Valencia at noon, it was now July 23 and here I was waiting for him not knowing what to expect. He had gotten the room we came to last time and filled it with roses, even leaving a card that read "can't wait to see you again".

I had to once again convince myself that this wasn't a dream and that he would meet me here today without a doubt. He was my boyfriend afterall.

I sat on the bed looking out the balcony window wondering if I could be mad at him for going up to New York the day we had set to see each other again or talk to him after making an announcement about the cd and not inviting me along since Danielle went. He even made time to appear at a concert with Demi just last week in LA, looking happier than ever with someone who wasn't me, but I kept busy going to concerts. I had to keep busy.

"Thank you I got it from here" I heard his voice say as the bell hop opened the door.

I didn't even want to turn around so I simply got up from the bed and breathed. I heard the door slam and things fall on the floor and before I knew it I turned around and Nick was walking over to me. I don't think twice and go over to him, putting my arms around his neck trying to pull him as close to me as I could. He did the same and lifted me off the floor.

"I missed you so much baby" he said into my ear

I pull away and look at him, same beautiful face, and slightly longer hair. I couldn't find the words to explain that I missed him more than he could imagine so he set my feet down and I kissed him.

"I never wanna let you go" I tell him finally

"I promise I'll never leave you like that again" he says kissing me again

"Don't, I know you have a busy life and other priorities other than m-"

"No, you're my priority and everything else doesn't matter anymore" he smiles "we're inseparable, remember?"

I shake my head and he takes my chin in his hand kissing me sweetly. I don't argue with him and for another while all we could do was hug and kiss each other. We didn't separate until his phone rang but even then he kept his arm around my waist.

"Hey...yeah I made it without any trouble...mph I'll tell her...alright love you bye."

"Your mom?"

"Yes, she says hi."

I was relieved to hear that she still thought of me and I just smiled. Nicks lips were on mine again and while hugging we walked over to bed and laid down on either side, all we could do was hug and stare at each other. I smile and pull away from his embrace to hold his hand.

"You know we're gonna have to go outside of this room sometime" I tell him

He makes a face and shakes his head.

"Alright, but let's just to go to the pool?" he says

"Fine but I don't swim"

"You never did get in the pool back in Weslake..." he thinks "I'll teach you then."

"Trust me I've tried but it terrifies me." then it hits me "anyways I don't have a bathing suit with me!"

"Shoot"

I laugh but he simply lets go of my hand and reaches for his wallet.

"No no no no"

"C'mon, let me buy you this one thing and I'll never buy you anything else."
