Nikki's POV:

*Saturday, March 29, 2014, 1:29 p.m.*

I checked my phone for what felt the like the thousandth time. Their meeting should've been over by now so why hasn't Will called me? I wanted to know how it went.

Did they like them? Did they have to sing for them? Were they signed with Universal Records now? I had so many questions but no answers.

I sighed, setting my phone down on the table. Right when I did, the doorbell rang.

I walked out of my room and down the stairs to open it. It was Will.

"Will!" I immediately wrapped my arms around his shoulders, pulling him into a tight hug.

"Nikki!" he laughed, wrapping his arms around my waist, hugging me back.

"So what happened?" I pulled away.

"Get your stuff," he smiled.

"For?" I opened the door wider for him to come it and closed it behind him.

"The beach!"

I laughed and went upstairs to quickly change and pack a bag.

I came back downstairs with my things.

"Come on," he smiled at me, opening my front door for me.

I called for Ian to lock the door behind me as Will and I walked to his car.

Suddenly, I felt myself being lifted up and Will threw me over his shoulder.

"Will!" I laughed. "What are you doing?"

He just laughed as he spun the two of us in circles.

"Put me down!" I begged.

"Okay," he laughed, setting me down on the grass in my front yard. He smirked at me.

"What?" I eyed him cautiously.

He quickly moved his hands to my sides and began tickling me causing me to burst out in laughter. I fell onto the grass, still being tickled by Will.

"Oh, my God!" I said in between laughs. "I can't breathe!"

Will continued to laugh as he pinned me down, still tickling me.

"Will, please!" I begged, tears forming in my eyes from laughing so hard. "Stop!"

"I love you!" he said continued to tickle me. "Say it!"

"I," I tried to say it but I couldn't stop laughing.

"Say it!"

"I love you!" I was finally able to say.

"I love you, too," he smiled, ceasing to tickling me.

I looked up at him, still pinning me down, "You're a dork."

"But you love me," he leaned down, making our faces closer than before.

"That I do," I smiled up at him.

He smiled back, leaning down to kiss me.

Once he got up, he held out his hand to help me up and we got into his car.

"So tell me what happened!" I demanded as soon as he started driving.

"We got signed!" Will had a huge smile spread across his face.

"Are you serious?" I shouted. "That's so great!"

"I know!" he agreed.

"How do you feel?"

"Amazing! Like, a million bucks!"

Almost as if on cue, Million Bucks by Cimorelli began playing on the radio and the two of us burst into laughter while we sang along:

You and me on a summer night,

Park that car, dancing in the headlights!

You and I, late night drives, your hand in mine, all your time!

I don't need money in my pockets, diamonds on my neck,

The time I spend with you I know I'll never forget!

You and me, is more than enough!

'Cause you make me feel like a million bucks!

"Why are we going to the beach?" I asked Will once the song ended and once we stopped laughing.

"We're Celebrating!" Will gushed.

He was so adorable. I loved how excited and happy he was.

He smiled at me while he reached for my hand and grabbed it.

"So what was the meeting like?" I asked.

"It was a lot less scary than I thought it would be. We were all really nervous, but Lucian Grainge is pretty cool, actually. He was really nice and that made things a lot less nerve racking. Right off the back he told us that he liked our music and he wanted us to sing for him."

"What did you guys sing?"

"Parachute," He smiled. "I wrote it."

"And may I hear it?" I smiled, too.

He began singing:

"And when your hand's in mine,

Feels like I'm walking on cloud nine

So give me a parachute,

'Cause I'm falling more in love with you"

"That's really good," I told him. "Your songs are always good."

"Do you really think so?" he asked.

"I really do," I smiled, nodding.

He brought my hand up to his lips and softly kissed the top.

"I love you," he told me.

"I love you, too."
