NICK P.O.V.:

When I woke up the next morning and went downstairs after taking a shower, I noticed Priyanka had made breakfast for us. She was apparently waiting for me to arrive to eat with her.

"Uh, morning." I said entering the kitchen and she looked at me.

"I made breakfast for us." I raised my eyebrows.

"Didn't you hate me?" She rolled her eyes.

"No, of course I didn't. I love you Nick, and I'm sorry for being that mean to Demi. She's done nothing to me and I'm constantly hating at her." I nodded sitting in front of her.

"And so? That's all?" She shook her head.

"I feel ashamed of the way I've talked about her when I don't even know her...so I was thinking..." I frowned at her.

"You were thinking..."

"I wanna go on a dinner with her. The three of us, or four if she's dating someone, I don't know. I wanna try to be friends with her if she's really that important to you." I raised my eyebrows.

"Do you really wanna do this? Maybe it's too much for you. I think we're okay with you not calling her all those words you call her every once in a while." She sighed.

"No, it's not enough with that...I wanna be friends with her if you wanna be friends with her again. We're married, this is the least I can do for you." I pressed my lips together and shrugged.

"Fine, do you want me to ask her now?"

"Yes, so we can go out tonight." I frowned.

"I don't think she'll want to go out. She's not liks you...I mean, she really doesn't like to be photographed outside." She raised her eyebrows at me.

"Whatever. Just ask her about it. If she says she don't wanna go out, we can have dinner here together...or in a low profile restaurant."

"Okay." I grabbed my phone and dialed her number. She took the call about 4 tones later.

"Hello?" She asked and I could hear water running.

"Hey Demi, it's Nick here."

"Oh Nick, sorry, I'm taking a shower at the moment." I shook my head and titled it.

"Look, it's just a quick question. Do you wanna go out with me and Priyanka tonight?"

"U-umm, with you and y-your wife?" I closed my eyes and nodded.

"Yes. She wanna have a chance to meet you." There was silence on the other line and then, she sighed.

"I bet this is for last night..." She whispered causing me to smile. "Look, I don't wanna go out. I'm not really in that mood today, but if this is that important to her...then we can hang out at your house."

"Okay, that's exactly what I thought you would say." She chuckled and I shrugged. "Well, tonight at our house. I'll send you the address."

"Alright. I'll see you later then, bye."

"Bye." She hang up on me and I looked at Priyanka.

"She said yes." She said with a small smile on her lips and I nodded. "That's amazing. I really wanna see what you see in her that's so magnetic."

"Pri..." I rolled my eyes. "The thing about us being close is because our personalities get along with each other, it's not something everyone has."

"We'll see bout that." She said and left the kitchen.

"Dear Lord, please help me get through the dinner." Around 10 minutes later, I sent Demi the address and got a text from her.

Demi ~ just know that I'm doing this for you...It's weird to have a dinner like that, so thank me later

I smiled and nodded before walking upstairs to work on some music.

It was around 7 p.m. that Priyanka entered the kitchen wearing extremely formal clothes. She was wearing a red dress, high heels, her hair in a ponytail with a diamonds necklace and both our engagement and wedding ring. I raised my eyebrows and she smiled at me.

"Do you like how I look tonight?"

"Well, I always love how you look but...don't you think that's too much?" She frowned. "I'm wearing just jeans and a sweater, she'll probably wear the same I do."

"You think so? Cause I think I know women better than you...She's gonna wear clothes like mine. Don't worry." I shrugged.

"I guess we'll see about it later." She nodded and the doorbell rang causing her to smile big.

"She's here, you open the door for her. I'll take the food to the dinning room."

"Okay." I walked to the door and breathed heavily before opening it to see Demi standing on the other side. She looked up at me and flashed me a tiny smile. "Hey."

"Hey...can I come in? I'm freezing." I nodded and let her in before scratching the back of my neck nervously as we walked to the living room.

"Please tell me you aren't wearing a dress." She chuckled and shook her head with her back at me before taking her brown coat off and leaving it on the couch. "Thank God." I whispered when I saw she was wearing jeans and a casual top.

"What?" She asked but we were interrupted by Priyanka entering the room.

"Demi! Hey, it's nice to see you again...it's been a while." Demi nodded and they hugged shortly before Priyanka scanned her from head to toe. "Aren't you cold with that top?" She asked with raised her eyebrows at Demi and I walked to Priyanka's side to take a better look at Demi's outfit.

 "Aren't you cold with that top?" She asked with raised her eyebrows at Demi and I walked to Priyanka's side to take a better look at Demi's outfit

I understood immediately why Priyanka felt out of place. It wasn't Demi's causal clothes, it was the skin that Demi was showing in her chest. I smiled slightly at Demi and she sent me a small smirk before Priyanka looked at me.

"Well anyways, we better go eat. The food is ready." She walked to the dinning room first and I took the chance to talk to Demi again.

"Please be kind with her, she's not handling it well." She chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"I've done nothing to her. If she feels pressed because I'm using this top that only shows a small gap of skin, then that's her problem."

"Demi.." She glared at me and I chuckled raising my hands. "Okay, it's okay."
