Sunset Chapter 4 When I woke up I was curled up next to Nick with Brian staring at me. I propped myself up on my elbows and looked around. I also saw A.J., Kevin, and Howie. “What?” I asked sleepily. “Nothing. I’m just surprised to see a girl curled up with Nick.” Brian said. “Why?” “It’s just that Nick’s never been intense enough with a girl to sleep with her. Or next to her for that matter,” A.J. replied. “Oh great.” I said sarcastically. ”Leave me alone and let me get back to sleep.” “Pushy! Anyway, we’re not going to let you. How did you get this far with him? Kevin asked. “Long story, let me get to sleep and I’ll tell you later when I’m not so tired. Leave me alone!” “No.” Howie said “Um...Hello?” Brian asked after a while. He felt my pulse and if I was breathing. “She’s asleep.” “That’s strange.” Kevin said coming over. “How?” Howie asked. “We were being noisy and she still fell asleep.” “She might be faking it.” A.J. said helpfully. “She’s not. She’s too good if she is.” Brian said. “Errgh.” Nick said waking up. “Hey, how are you feeling?” Brian asked. “Better than before.” “Who’s she?” A.J. asked. “Jem.” “How’d you meet her? She’s really pretty.” “I was running away from these screaming girls. I couldn’t stop in time and bumped into her. She was at the top of the steps was losing her balance and I caught her by the waist. The rest went on from there.” “And that happened when?” Brian asked. “Three days ago.” “What?!” All four of them screamed. “Huh?” I said waking up. “Hey.” Nick said and kissed me on the forehead. “Hmm.” I said smiling. ”How are you?” “Fine. I have got to take a shower.” He started to get out of bed. “Nick.” I put my hand on his shoulder. ”Your still a bit sick.” “Jem, I’m fine.” I looked at him crookedly. ”Well at least a lot better than I was. Look let me take a shower, and could you get me something to eat? I’m starved. What time is it?” “6:30. Fine.” I said and pounced over to the floor did a forward roll and stood up. “How’d you do that?” They all asked. “I don’t know. I really don’t know.” I replied. I went downstairs to find the rest of his family eating dinner. “Oh, hi Jem. How’s Nick” Mrs. Carter asked. “Fine, he’s taking a shower. Um...” “Here, I had set this aside for him.” She said getting up from the table. She handed me some pasta and a cup of tea. “You want anything?” “No, I’m fine.” “All right then.” I went upstairs to find Nick out of the shower with only a towel around him. “Oh boy.” I said rolling my eyes. Nick was blushing when I reached him. “Here, I’m leaving, and please put something other than that towel on.” I turned around and walked out after I gave him the bowl and cup. When I was outside I realized instead of the flat chest I saw in the very few pics of Nick with his shirt of, he was really starting to develop. God he looked good! “Jem you can come back in.” Kevin told me. “Good.” I came back in. Nick was eating his dinner. “Nick we better go. A.J. said. “O.K. Jem your staying right?” “Of course.” “Good.” “We’re going.” Howie said. “Bye guys. Hey mom.” “Hi Nick. You certainly do look better. Jem would you mind staying over tonight?” “No, I wouldn’t mind.” “Good, look I don’t care what you two do, as long as you have the door closed.” I looked at Nick eyebrows raised. Nick looked back at me with a look that said I won’t try anything, I promise. “I’ll be leaving now.” “O.K. Mom.” After she left I turned to Nick. “Nick...” He cut me off with a kiss on the lips. “Jem, I’m going to sleep, whenever you start drifting off just get under the covers and go to sleep all right? I don’t want you to be cold” “Uh huh.” “Good. Goodnight sweetheart.” and he kissed me on the lips and turned over. ”One last thing.” “Hmm?” “I want you to come on tour with me.” “All right.” “Good. Goodnight again.” After about an hour. I climbed into the bed and fell asleep. |
