Chapter 14 - European Vacation

[Karsyn]

I still couldn't get over Tony coming to The Netherlands to check up on me. Apparently, from what Emmileigh said, Nick had some alone time with him, but Nick hadn't said anything about it to me. Then again, I hadn't seen him since about an hour before the show when Emmileigh went out to our seats.

After the concert, we headed back to the hotel and went to our separate rooms - Nick and Donnie's rooms. After arriving in Rotterdam, we went to the hotel and that's how we ended up. It felt weird as we went to separate rooms, across the hall from one another.

As I went into Nick's room, I wasn't sure what to expect when he came back. We had to get up the next morning to head for Belgium and even though we had a nice talk before the show, I still wasn't sure what he was thinking.

So instead of trying to be sexy and flirty, I put on a t-shirt and pajama pants and crawled into bed, cuddling up next to a pillow.

I laid there, hearing Nick walk in a bit later and he went into the bathroom, shutting the door. I had my eyes closed, so maybe he thought I was asleep. I listened to the water running and sighed, wanting to get in the shower with him, but at the same time, I didn't.

I heard the bathroom door open and felt him climb on the bed and then under the cover.

Then I felt him move up against me, wrapping his arm around me.

"You asleep?"

"Not really."

"Sorry you had a bad night, tonight," he whispered as I smiled, moving onto my back and looking at him.

"Emmileigh said she saw you talking to him," I said as Nick nodded. "Not when she slapped him, but afterwards. After we had our talk."

"I kind of understand where he's coming from," Nick said as I glared at him. "It obviously shows he cared about you, even if it wasn't what you had hoped. He came over here to check up on you so I made sure he knew you were okay. I told him he didn't have to worry."

"I just wish he hadn't of come," I said. "Everything was going so good."

"It still is," he smiled, laying on his side. He moved his hand over, rubbing my stomach and then moved closer to me. "You guys are coming to Australia, right?" I nodded and smiled.

"My birthday is the 16th, on the days off between Europe and Australia, so yep," I smiled. "But then after that it's over pretty much. Then I start feeling these anxiety attacks..."

"Don't worry about that now," he whispered, moving a strand of hair out of my face. "We have time to figure that out."

"We?" I asked as Nick cracked up laughing.

"You and me," he said as I leaned up, kissing him quickly on the lips. I smiled, rolling back over on my side with Nick cuddling up next to me with his arm wrapped around me.

Suddenly I felt good about this again.

[Emmileigh]

Donnie had gone out to an after party with Jordan after the show, leaving me alone in his room. He'd asked me to go, but after the whole Tony thing I just wanted to stay behind. I'd hoped he would of too, but I understood he had a job to do.

I'd showered, checked my email and even watched a movie before admitting defeat and climbing into bed. I wanted to make sure I was awake for when Donnie came back, but I could already feel myself falling asleep.

I had no idea what the time was when I felt the bed dip beside me, followed by a body pressing against my back. I hadn't even opened my eyes but I knew it was Donnie.

"Mmm what's the time?" I croaked out, feeling him move his arms around my waist.

"A little after three. Took us ages to get out of the club. A lot of fans hung around afterwards, and you know what I'm like."

I rolled over and opened my eyes, smiling when I saw Donnie laying with his head on the pillow beside mine. "I know. It's fine."

"No it's not."

I felt Donnie move his arm up my back before stroking my cheek.

"I hated leaving you like this," he whispered softly. "Especially after the last 24 hours."

I smiled and cuddled myself closer to him. "It's ok, really. I promise."

"As long as your sure. I mean, we haven't really had time to talk yet."

I looked up at Donnie and smiled. He wanted to talk about everything that had gone on with us. That was supposed to be my doing, not his. "Isn't that my line?"

Donnie chuckled. "Yea, I guess so." He pulled me close and kissed me softly, making me giggle.
