Chapter 9

Several hours later Sandy snuggled with Nick, as the buses got ready to leave. Nick ran his fingers over her arms genitally as she relaxed against him.

" Baby you still awake."

" Hmm?" She mumbled half asleep.

" I’ll take that as a no." He giggled as he heard the bus door open.

" Nick?" Brian started

" Shush she is sleeping what?"

" We are bout to leave do you need anything or are you and San ok?"

" She is asleep so she is fine and I have enough stuff round here to keep me busy for a while. Thanks man." Nick said looking up at him.

" No prob. We will be in our first stop in eight hours. If I recall, Geo is up front."

" Ok thanks." Nick watched his friend leave the bus. He quietly slid out from under Sandy and walked towards the front of the bus to look outside.

" Wow check out the fans." He said to Geo.

" Yea they are here to see you guys off. Here this is for Sandy." He said handing a teddy bear to him.

" Where did you get it?" Nick asked looking down at it.

" That young girl over there in the wheelchair handed it to me as I started walking this way. So I brought it here."

" That’s so nice. San will like it." He said setting on a table near the doorway.

" Well why don’t you sit down we are bout to get underway and then if you need someone to chat with we can." Geo said.

" Nah I think San and I are going to rest in the back I am going to take the bear and move her to the back and go to sleep with her." He said grabbing the bear walking over to Sandy lifting her into his arms and carrying her towards the back.

It had been several days since the tour and resumed and Sandy was enjoying herself watching rehearsal one afternoon. Sandy watched as Nick performed watching his every move. She looked over and saw a few fans had found their way inside and were watching them. Nick waited till he had finished had gone to the back to shower and change. Sandy had started that way when Kevin stopped her on her way to the back.

" How are you feeling today Sandy?"

" Good. I am getting used to this thing" She said pointing to the chair.

" When are you and Nicky getting married?"

" I don’t know we haven’t talked about it in a while. I guess he is afraid to bring it up. Go shower you stink." She said laughing.

" Hey that’s not funny" He said kissing her cheek. He hurried to the back as she made her way back to Nick’s dressing room. She reached up and opened the door and came face to face with Nick kissing a girl. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at the scene before her.

" YOU BASTARD" She screamed. Nick pulled away from the girl and looked at Sandy.

" Sandy it’s not what you think." He started.

" Then what is it?" She said Kevin had come running when he had heard Sandy yelling. He looked in the room to see Nick with a young fan. The girl seemed rather confused at the scene before her. As Nick begged Sandy to understand. Lisa came running down the hall to her sobbing friend.

" Sandy what happened?"

" He. He was kissing that girl" She said

" Sandy she is a fan that asked for a kiss nothing more." Kevin said looking at her.

" A fan alone in Nick’s room. I don’t believe you Kevin siding with him."

" Lisa you know that fans get in from time to time," Kevin started trying to keep the peace with is wife. He didn’t need that kind of fight on his hands. Nick moved closer to Sandy and placed his hands on her chair.

" Leave me alone." She said wheeling away from him. Nick looked at Kevin with sadness. Lisa went after her friend after she shot Kevin an angry look. Kevin shook his head and looked at the young girl.

" I am sorry I didn’t mean to start a fight." She said looking at them both.

" I know. She has been very emotional lately." Kevin said looking at the girl.

" I think I will go now nice to have met you Nick." She said turning on her heal she left the room. Nick sat down on the couch and sighed.

" I blew it Kev."

" NO you didn’t San didn’t take what you did right. Maybe we should just say we are sorry."

" Yea San did take it the wrong way." Brian said coming out of the shadows. He had been in the room the whole time he had seen the girl with Nick and knew that she was just there as a fan nothing more,

" How long have you been there Brian?" Kevin asked him looking towards his cousin. Brian looked up at him and smiled.

"Long enough." Brian said he could see that Nick had royally screwed up and felt badly bout it.

Lisa moved down the hall and found Sandy crying,

" Sandy honey you can’t stay mad at him forever"

" The Hell I can’t He kissed that girl and didn’t feel badly bout me finding him. All because of this chair he is looking for someone who can walk." She said threw her tears.

" He is not." Lisa said she had wanted to defend Nick but yet do the same with Sandy.

" Yes he is. He doesn’t look at me the same way as he did before."

" Honey don’t do this to yourself." Lisa said getting down so she could look Sandy in the eyes.

" I love him Lisa and he did this." She wheeled down the hall away from her friend she needed time alone. She made her way past security and outside. She looked at the young girls that had lined the outside of the arena waiting to get in for the show.

" Hey aren’t you Nick’s fiancée"

" I am supposed to be." She said looking at the girl

" Nick is a nice guy and seems to be happy with you. Don’t break his heart." She said Sandy smiled and shook her head.

" No worries bout me breaking his heart him breaking mine but not me breaking his." she said looking at the girl.

" Nick loves you. He tells everyone that is willing to listen to him that he would never hurt you for anything." The girl said looking at her. Sandy smiled and thanked the girl and wheeled back inside. Lisa sat in Kevin’s dressing room while he tried to calm his now angry wife.

" Kevin that isn’t the point he should have never kissed the girl the way he did. I don’t care if she was a fan."

" Lisa honey think about it this way he didn’t mean it he didn’t think that Sandy was going to take it the wrong way." Kevin said to her.
