Secrets

Why Aren't Things Ever Simple

Little extra chapter for you guys, it's only tiny though!

"where have you been?!" Jessica asked perplexed as she and Laura watched me walk back to my stuff that I had left back stage. "oh I needed the bathroom, and on the way back I got stopped by Nico's friends. I couldn't get away" I lied, seemingly satisfying Jessie with my answer. "okay cool well we're all heading to the after party now, so hurry up and get changed so we can party!" she told me, giving us each a hug before she left.

.........

"so c'mon, what were you really doing?" Laura eyed me suspiciously. I frowned, unzipping the bag that contained my evening dress. "I don't know what you're talking about" I replied, not daring to look at her. Laura snorted, "I saw Nico looking shady as hell creeping out of that cupboard with his hair all crazy" she said, failing to hold her laugh inside. I felt myself flush bright red. "sssh!" I hissed at her, glancing around us. "okay, okay" I held my hands up momentarily, "maybe we had a little alone time" I admitted, pulling the dress out of its bag. "I don't think I'd have had a choice in the matter honestly" I told her, pulling the Force India shirt over my head. It was a shame they were up for auction. And thinking on that, maybe I should have taken it off for my recent activities...

"like you'd object anyway" she scoffed. I chuckled, but declined to respond. "but I think I need to talk to him" I sighed, stepping into my dress. "why?" Laura asked, seeing her face flash with disappointment. I shuffled the dress up my body and poked my arms through the tiny strap loops.

I stood facing the mirror, admiring the beautiful gown covering my body. "I just think we need to talk. We've had so much happen in only a short time of knowing each other, things are moving so fast." I glanced at my friend, "are you okay? You look a little pale?" I asked, Laura shook her head, "I'm okay. Just tired I think" she answered. I shrugged and nodded. It had been along day.

LAURA'S POV

My stomach was churning after what Victoria had said, I felt that they were getting on so well, and really they were. All I could think of was Nico and how he felt about her. I knew Vick was always cautious and this was the first time she had just let herself go. I shouldn't have been so shocked really that she was starting to get cold feet about the whole thing given what had transpired this week, but she'd done so well to push it out of her mind, maybe not as well as I'd thought. I just really hoped that she wasn't going to squash all the feelings that Nico was about ready to declare to her. He didn't deserve that, neither of them did. This night could go either way, they'd either end up practising making a baby or I'd end up in her hotel room cradling her like one. Im getting too old for this.

Hey guys, thought I'd sneak a little note in here; for some reason I'm finding the urge to do a Play list at the end of this book of all the songs that I've been listening to, which have given me inspiration or ideas, whilst writing this and Superhero. Just wondered if you guys would be interested or whether it's a bit random? Haha

Anyway hope you guys are still enjoying this story. Love writing Nico! Xxx
