Annalee isn't normally someone to wear a lot of make-up she isn't someone who really has too she has naturally flawless skin. Except she is one of those people who shows that she didn't get a whole lot of sleep the night before.
Dark circle cream and eye concealer is her best friend on this particular morning. She finished off with some moisturizer and a little bit of bronzer and some tinted blistex and made her way to the front door. She had to meet Nick and Jenn in a few minutes and she really didn't want to be late.
Just as she was about to open her door she saw Nick open his at the same exact time so she quickly closed her door and hoped to god he didn't see her.
She didn't really want to walk next to him let alone be alone in a elevator with him. Last night was awkward, weird and completely un-expected. Annalee really wasn't 100% sure what that was. There was certainly some pent up tension. She laid awake all night and couldn't get Nicks wet chiseled shirtless body out of her mind, or his grin, or his eyes. He haunted her all night.
Annalee pushed her back against the door and took a couple deep breaths praying he didn't see her. Just as she was about to turn around to open the door again she heard a knock at the door.
Annalee looked through the peephole "Shit, shit, shit she muttered under her breath- thats him." She couldn't help but check herself out in the mirror one last time before opening the door.
She was greeted with a freshly showered Nick with spiky hair it even looked like he shaved the stuble that was on his face. He had on black pair of shorts, white and black runners and a grey t-shirt with a simple homemade necklace around his neck.
Annalee gulped at the sight of him. Remembering last night’s events. “Good Morning Annalee, you ready for breakfeast?”
He flashed his million dollar smile literally. His smile and charisma and talent got him wear he is today.
“Morning Nick.” Annalee responded she didn’t want things to be any more awkward then they already were. “ So about last –night?” They both started at the same time. Annalee nervously laughed and nick rubbed his hair through his short hair.
“Ladies first” gestured her to go first on both accounts. They started walking down the hall where they were meeting Jenn for breakfast.
“I think it was a lot of fun but I mean it can’t happen that way.”
Annalee stated keeping up to nicks pace a friendly distance away side by side. Nick couldn’t help but notice how naturally beautiful she was just like a morning sunrise or sunset. Simply beautiful without trying to hard. He figured he was picking his perfect partner for a contest but not the perfect partner for him.
Nick couldn’t help himself he wanted to really get to know her and she was really fun to flirt with.
“Okay then how can it happen and what can’t happen us becoming really , reeeallyy good friends”
Nick put the emphasis on the last really. Finsihing it off with a wink just to get his point across.
Annalee rolled her eyes at his cockiness and forwardness
“Nick, you know what can’t happen.”
Nick pushed the elevator button to head down to the lobby and they both walked in crazy enough they were the only ones in there. “Whatdya mean?”
Nick grinned he liked it when she bit her lip and he loves that he has that effect on her and he has only known her for not even 24 hours.
“Nick just stop were here to win a contest. Im going to show why nick carter fans are sooo much better than AJ,Howie, Brian, and Kevin fans.
Annalee wrapped her hands over her chest and glared at him. “Okay, okay, okay…What happened to playful Annalee from last night? You know im just playing right.?
“Nick, we have a job to do. You hate to lose right, so do i?” She put her hand behind her ear and rolled her eyes in annoyance.
“right so what ideas do you have?” Nick asked me as we stepped out of the elevator.
“I don’t know I have few ideas I can show you when we get a few minutes after breakfast. I wrote them down in my notebook last night when I couldn’t sleep.
“Sure sounds like something we could work out.” Nick smiled before they reached their table where they were meeting Jenn, he placed his hand on my arm and lightly tugged me back. “Were cool right? I didn’t mean for things to get as un-professional as they did."
“Yea we are great why wouldn’t we be? "Also, as you said last night work first play later right.” Annalee smiled a wicked grin and left nick standing there wondering what the hell just happened.
