Then I walked back into my room.
“Pizza?” I asked.
“Oh yeah,” Nick replied, “I’m starving.”
As we ate our pizza I was thinking about Sarah and Eminem going out, and wishing that I were Nick’s girlfriend.
“You miss your friend,” Nick asked, “don’t you?”
“Yeah,” I replied.
“Is something else wrong?” Nick asked.
“Sometimes I wish I was in her place,” I answered, “that I had a boyfriend because it gets lonely over here sometimes.”
“Yeah,” Nick agreed, “sometimes I get lonely too. I’m barely ever home so I don’t really ever have a girlfriend.”
Hmmm, he gets lonely too. It would just be great if we were going out together.
“Speaking of going out I was wondering, do you have a boyfriend,” Nick asked.
“No,” I replied.
“Do you want one?” Nick asked.
“What do you mean?” I inquired.
“Well,” Nick started, “I was wondering if you would go out with me.”
I was shocked. A Backstreet Boy was asking me to go out with him. I was so surprised, and I didn’t know what to say. I just sat there in silence.
Nick must have taken my silence the wrong way.
“Well,” Nick said sounding very embarrassed, “thanks for the pizza. See you tomorrow, I guess.”
He looked so hurt, I wanted to go out with him, but how did I let him know?
“Wait,” I ordered.
“What?” Nick asked.
I saw him turn around, his eyes were full of tears and he looked embarrassed.
“Are you serious?” I asked.
“I was,” Nick answered and turned away.
I don’t know what went through my mind at that moment but I leapt off the bed and ran to Nick and gave him a kiss on the lips.
I looked real quickly before I closed my eyes to see his reaction. His eyes got really big, and it was so cute.
When we stopped the kiss Nick asked, “Does that mean yes?”
I didn’t answer, but I smiled really big.
Nick hugged me.
“Do you want more pizza?” I asked.
“Anything to be with you,” Nick replied.
We laughed.
I loved spending that night with him, it was so wonderful. Around 11 Nick started to get up.
“Do you have to go now?” I asked.
“Not if you don’t want me to,” Nick replied.
He stood there and held my hand. I could see his eyes looked sad.
“I don’t want you to, but if you have to you can go,” I told him.
“I don’t want to go, but I have to,” He agreed sadly.
“You could come tomorrow,” I suggested.
“You mean earlier?” Nick asked.
“Yeah,” I replied.
“Aright,” Nick asked, “is 8 good for you?”
“7:30 is better,” I answered.
Nick smiled.
“Alright, I’ll be here at 7:30 then,” Nick replied.
We then walked down the stairs together and out the door and I realized he brought his car.
“You brought your car?” I asked.
“Yeah,” Nick replied, “If I could stay I’d take you for a spin.”
“That’d be fun,” I agreed.
“Goodnight,” Nick said.
He kissed me one last time that night and then got in his car.
“Goodnight,” I replied.
“See you tomorrow,” Nick said.
“Yes, see you tomorrow,” I replied.
Then Nick drove away. I saw him wave out his window and I waved back. I imagined him smiling when he saw me wave through his review mirror.
