Jealous

Part 5

I stand there for a second before feeling Kate bump my shoulder. It snaps me back to reality. I manage to choke out a "what?", but it's barley audible. 

"I said you are needed backstage.", the security guard says looking at me. 

"Why?", I ask. Now I'm curious more than anything. I mean I obviously have a suspicion of why, but I'm still not sure about it.

"I'm not aloud to say."

Wow thanks. "Just give me a second.", i say turning to Kate and Abby. "What should i do?"

"Are you crazy? Go back there.", Abby says.

"I don't even know why he wants me to go back there. He could knock me out or drug me."

"Are you being serious? It's obvious that Nick wants you back there.", Kate says.

"We'll be fine.", Abby says as she turns me around and pushes me toward the security guard.

"Are you ready?"

I turn back and look at Kate and Abby. 

"Hey, it's not everyday you can go hook up with Nick Jonas.", Kate says winking then moving her hands in a shooing motion as if telling me to go. I roll my eyes and turn back to the guard. 

"Yeah, I guess I am."

With that he leads me down the steps and through a hallway. He opens a door and we go in. There is a couch, TV, fridge, xbox, bar, and pool table. It looks like some sort of man cave.

"Wait here, don't touch anything.", the guard says turning to leave.

"Wait, where am I?", but he is already out the door.

Great. 

I look around. I'm standing in front of the couch. I stand there for about a minute, and then pull out my phone. I see a text from Abby. 

Hey where are you? What's happening?

I want to respond, but there is nothing to really tell her so I slide my phone back into my pocket. I pace the room a few times. I'm tempted to sit on the couch, but the guy said not to touch anything, so i remain standing. It's been about ten minutes. I press my back against the wall and slide down into a sitting position. I lean my head against the wall. Take a deep breath. Close my eyes. And wait. 

I hear a creek and see the door open. A pair of shoes come into sight. I scan my eyes upward and see Nick. 

I'm in such shock. I don't know why exactly. I mean I knew he was coming. I guess it just wasn't really real until now. He is still standing in the door way and I'm still sitting against the wall. We both seem to be taking eachother in. I don't know what to say or do, so i kind of just stare. He stares right back. 

"Have you ever been backstage at a show before?", he asks breaking the silence. Ok, he's making small talk. 

"Uh, no. Never."

"Well i guess we should make your first experience memorable then. Shouldn't we?"

I don't know how to respond so I kind of just nod my head which I immediately mentally slap myself for after. Why did i have to be so awkward?

"You know we'll be spending a lot of time together tonight so you might as well talk to me."

I stare at him.

"I know you have a voice. You were singing a whole lot in that front row.", he takes a step closer and shuts the door. I stand feeling a sudden burst of confidence. He's right if I really am right about why he brought me back here I'm going to have to do more than sit in the corner and look at him.

"Ok, you wanna talk?", i take a step closer.

 "Tell me...", another step. 

"Why..", closer now.

"I'm here.", I'm now close enough to feel his breath against my face.

He seems to be taken slightly aback by my sudden confidence and dominance, but just as quickly as i had seen it it had disappeared. He seemed to stand up a little taller as if to show that he wants to be the one in charge. Right then i knew i was going to change that.

"You are here because I want you."

Now it's my turn to be taken aback. I'm a nobody. I work at a small record shop downtown Atlanta. Why would he want me?

"I saw you." He starts out. "You were singing the lyrics. Moving to the music. I knew i needed you." He seems to want to go on, but i already know what he's going to say. Some pointless shit about how i stood out in the crowd. How he would never find another girl like me. Probably what he said to all of his hookups. I didn't want to hear that. I just wanted to feel his body against mine.

I crash my lips into his.
