CHAPTER 14 – NOTHING IS EVER A SECRET
“Something wrong Nick?” Brian inquired studding Nicks face closely
“Uh No” Nick remarked, obviously lying
“Come on, I’ve known you how long? I can tell when something’s bothering you Nick” Brian smiled
“Okay, but don’t tell Bianca” Nick started “I don’t think I'm ready to get married” Nick sighed
“Then why did you ask her?” Brian questioned gently
“Because, she wants t be married, God I don’t know” Nick huffed
“Nick if you’re not ready you have to tell her”
“I cant do that, you saw how happy she was”
“Nick, marriage isn’t something you enter into just to make someone happy, you have to be ready and clearly you’re not. Just think about it okay?”
~ LATER THAT AFTERNOON ~
“God I hate the Florida weather” the tall stocky mans thin lips announced to himself as he sulked around the beach front house.
He wasn’t sure what exactly it was he was looking for, just anything really, anything that would help him. Austin had left him high and dry, but with a few things to work with, the photos of Bianca and Nick on the decking, Arora’s diary, which finally he was able to roughly translate. Chastity would be his next target before he went after the real game, Tatum, she would pay for what she did, when she least expects it, he’ll be there.
“It’s not over till the fat lady sings” he smiled to himself flicking through a photo album that lay under the table.
Snap shots of the girls, on the beach, on tour, candid ones, nothing he could particularly work with. The lounge room was littered with memorabilia, Posters, Sales records, photos, again, nothing he could really use. The alarm they had on the house was simple enough to bypass, nothing to difficult, pretty simple stuff he’d learnt in the Army.
He heard a car pull up outside, that was his call to leave. He ran down the hall and into Arora’s room, placing the simple white envelope with her name typed on the front of it on her bed. He darted back out again, heading down the stairs to the gym area. He heard the door open and close and distant chatter.
“Time to go” he smirked to himself as he lowered himself out one of the windows and into the surrounding scrub, without ever been noticed.
“So I liked the big princess like one” Bianca sighed flopping down onto the couch, a bridal magazine in her hand
“Really?” Arora cringed “I don’t like those big puffy ones” she smiled
“Yeah well you’re not getting married” Bianca laughed playfully slapping Arora
“Whatever” Arora sighed “I'm gonna go get changed” she remarked walking down the hall
She strolled into her room, closing the door behind her. Rummaging through her draws she picked out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, throwing them onto the bed she noticed the white envelope sitting there. She picked it up, curious about it’s origin. It wasn’t sealed, the flap just loosely tucked in. The type was a simple font, she unfolded the letter and began to read
The words of a broken heart are intriguing don’t you think? Your mind was amazingly complex my dear, but still nothing I couldn’t handle…..The whole Spanish thing was no barrier….
I’m not sure really what to think right now, my head is so contradicting, I’m so lost. After what happened with Nick, I’m not sure what i think anymore. I see him and I TRY not to have feelings for him, but i think, i do. I think about making love to him in my dreams sometimes, and i feel so bad....who knows maybe it's just because I’m lonely.......
I know about you.

Arora dropped the note onto her bed in shock, that was an excert from her diary, she scrambled to look where she kept it, and sure enough – it had gone.
“Oh My god” she muttered in disbelief
~ AT THE SAME TIME ~
His muscular fingers wrapped their way around the phone receiver on the pay phone down from Park Ave, Tampa Bay, Florida. He dialed the number scrawled across his hand quickly. And listened to it ring.
Nick flicked on the caller display unit, the number was withheld.
“Damn AJ” he laughed, suspecting it was AJ blocking his number like he usually did.
“Hello?” Nick said picking up the phone
“How does she feel?” the voice questioned, clearly using a voice changer
“Who? What? Who is this?” Nick laughed
“Does she feel good? Do you still think about her?”
“Yo who the hell is this?”
“Someone who knows”
“Knows what fucker?”
“Knows all about you”
“Really? You and everyone who reads Rolling Stones, whatever man”
“Tell me is it Bianca or Arora you love? After all you slept with both of them” the voice laughed before hanging the phone up.
“What?” Nick stammered holding the receiver down
