Chapter 13
When Nick got back 2 hours later he held in his hand small a velvet box containing the ring. He walked into AJ's room and was greeted by the four guys smiling.
"Well buddy, let's see it!"AJ said getting up off the chair and walking over, Kevin, Howie and Brian following. Nick opened up the box and showed them the small ring that he was going to use to propose to Nicole with.
"Woooo...stylish buddy. Sit, ya got 2 more hours until Nicole lands and we got a limo to pick her up. Amanda's coming too. Look, we finally found an English channel and Simpsons are on!!" Brian grabbed Nick's arm and pulled him over to the bed. He smiled and knew, everything was going to work out.
***On the plane***
Nicole leaned her head back on the comfy first class chair and looked out the window. Amanda sat beside her watching "A bug's life" on the TV.
Nicole had been wondering what she was going to do now that she she was pregnant AND was going to finish the tour with the guys. She knew she was going to have to quit her job, and Nick had mentioned something on the phone about her moving into his house. She would have to tell her parents, and that was one thing Nicole did NOT want to do. Her father had always been strict and stated (when she was younger) that if Nicole ever got pregnant before she was 25 he would find the guy and shoot him in the head.
"Hey Nicole, plane's gonna land in a few minutes.Come on, we gosta go!!" Amanda shook Nicole out of the daze and escorted her off the plane after grabbing the carry-on bags.
They went through customs without any difficulty and waited for the driver. They finally found him and took their luggage up.
"Here we go, I'll take that from you. You wait in here while I bring the limo around. It's pouring outside." The limo driver took there bags out to the limo and Nicole and Amanda waited for him. He was right too. It was pouring. They got soaked just by walking from the door to the car.
The 20 minute drive was pretty quiet and when they reached the hotel Amanda took the bags in and went off to the gift shop to buy some candy and a little something for AJ. She obviously did it so Nicole could see Nick alone but Nicole didn't care. She went up to the desk and asked the clerk for AJ's hotel number.
"I'm sory ma'am. I can't give that out." The 70-year old mand said from behind the counter.
"Dammit!! Hold on!"Nicole reached into her bookbag and pulled out her phone. "AJ...yeah, I'm downstairs. What did you check in under?? OK."
Nicole hung up the phone. "Can I have the number to...capitain hook's room please??" Nicole remembered AJ telling her that they booked in under cartoon character's names and that way they had a way to get there friends up by telling them the name.
"Oh yes. Floor 26. Room 146. Thank you."
Nicole thanked him and took the elevator all the way up to the 26th floor. When she reached the door to room 146, she stopped and took a deep breath before knocking on the door...
