Rosalina's POV
About an hour after my conversation with Nat, I am sitting in the tour bus's dressing room, snacking on some apple slices. Alex and Jesse are sitting on my left and David and Qaasim are cutting off some of Thomas's hair so they can sell it online or something. I think about what Nat said in our conversation. I have been pretty upset with him, but I realize now that I shouldn't really be mad at Nat. He didn't do anything wrong… except be extremely cute and talented. Even if I'm not mad at him, it's still hard to think about the sheer amount of girls I have to compete with for Nat's attention.
I'm not really listening to the guys' conversation until I see Nat walk into the room.
"It's so good having you in such a great mood lately," Nat says to Thomas.
"So that's the only reason that those girls love me? Is 'cause they thought that I said that they were beautiful?" Thomas ponders.
"Looks that way," Nat replies back to him and then comes over to sit next to me. I smile at him, silently apologizing for my earlier behavior, and he smiles back.
"Wait, so you mean all you have to do is tell a girl she's beautiful and she'll love you?" Thomas asks.
"Yeah man, you didn't know that?" Qaasim replies and Thomas shakes his head.
Then Nat turns to me and says, "You're beautiful." Wait… am I hearing things right? It can't be a coincidence that Thomas just said-no, I'm probably overthinking things. I'm not sure what to think, so I just smile at the compliment and nudge his side with my elbow.
Before I can further process what just happened, Alex says, "You're beautiful" to Jesse and just like that, everyone's celebrating the fact that Alex is speaking again.
Everyone is clapping and yelling, "He spoke!"
"Dang it! Foiled by my romantic nature," Alex comments, crossing his arms.
"Alex is back again," Nat shouts.
"Celebration!" I add and everyone cheers some more.
Since we still have a few more hours before the concert begins, we decide to go celebrate with some ice cream. We put our disguises on again and head out. There's a Cold Stone right near us, so we decide to walk over there. As soon as we exit the bus, I catch up with Nat, who's walking a couple feet away from the others. I want so badly to confront him about what he said.
"Hey Nat!" I greet as I speed up to match his pace.
"Oh hey, Rosalina," he smiles.
"What did you mean by what you said a few minutes ago?" I say, deciding just to cut to the chase.
"What is it that I said?" Nat asks, looking a tad confused.
"After Thomas said the thing about telling a girl she's beautiful, you said that I was beautiful. What's that supposed to mean?" I ask, anxiously awaiting his response.
"Gee Rosalina, now who's being clueless?" he teases, nudging me with his elbow, just like I did earlier.
Now he's saying I am clueless? Clueless about what? "Clueless that… that you want me to love you?" That can't be it, but that's the only thing I can gather from what he just said.
"Yeah," he responds as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. "You have been clueless ever since I met you."
"Are you saying-" I start to ask but get interrupted.
"Oh, for crying out loud!" Alex exclaims from behind us. We both make room for him to walk in between us. Alex looks up at me and says, "You like Nat and Nat likes you. It's so obvious to everyone except you two."
"It is not," I reply, but all the other band members who are in front of us simultaneously say, "Yes it is."
Alex then speeds up so he is also in front of us and I look over at Nat, smiling.
"So what do you say? Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Nat asks, sounding much more confident.
"Yes, I would like that," I respond still with a huge smile on my face.
I briefly hear some cheering in front of us before Nat adds, "And you'll believe me when I say that I don't like getting pawed and that you're the only girl for me?"
"You may have to remind me," I reply with a small laugh.
"Don't worry, I will," he responds and puts his arm around my shoulders. He tries to give me a quick kiss on the lips as we walk, but our disguise mustaches get in the way. We just look at each other and laugh.
After a couple hours go by, it is almost time for the concert to start.
We do a quick sound check and then we're ready to perform in front of all the screaming fans. The first few songs of the night are the same as they have been.
And then Nat surprises us all by saying, "I would like to dedicate this next song to a very special someone here on stage with us," he says, smiling directly at me. He gives me a look that makes me melt inside. "I've only sung this live once before and it was right after our bass player joined the band. So this next song is called 'Rosalina.'"
"You went to live your life
But why did you have to go
You're my only love
My only never ending love
Rosalina
Rosalina
You took my heart away and now I miss you so
You're my only love
My only never ending love
Rosalina
Rosalina"
Nat throws a bunch of glances and smiles at me throughout the song. This is just too adorable. I remember the first time we performed this song and I was so happy when I found out the song was about me. I think that was the day I officially knew that I had feelings for Nat.
"I'll never be the same
I'll miss you 'til I die
You're my only love
My only never ending love
Rosalina
Rosalina
Rosalina
Rosalina"
Just yesterday, my relationship with Nat seemed so complicated. But now it seems so simple. I never needed to be jealous of Nat and all those girls who can't keep their paws off of him. Nat likes me and only me. He said so himself. I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I see some girls trying to kiss him and saying they love him.
As we start performing the song "Body I Occupy," I laugh about the situation in my head. Nat liked me and I liked him for all this time and neither of us knew it. According to Alex, everyone else knew that we liked each other. I guess it was both of us who were being clueless this whole time.
I hope you all enjoyed the two-shot. :) Stay tuned for more!
