Chapter 3-Amilan and Zach
Amilan was being flown out from Cali to New York for the recording session. Right now she was on the plane headed for New York City, where they'd be recording. Her cousin was supposed to meet her there. So far, three people had asked her for her autograph, which she'd graciously given. She sighed and decided to read a little to pass the time. A little while later, the captain's voice came on over the speaker.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are about to land at the New York Airport. Please stay seated and fasten your seatbelts until the plane has landed. Thank you." Ami put up her book and checked to make sure her purse hadn't gone anywhere. The plane made a safe landing and when she got out of the plane and the terminal, her cousin, Michelle, was waiting for her. She waved.
"Hello, Ami. I hope your flight went okay. Let's get your luggage and head to my car." They got her luggage and went to her silver Audi. They drove to the hotel in relative silence. They had always been like that. They didn't have to talk because they were comfortable with silence. When they got to the hotel Michelle checked them in and they made their way up to their adjoining rooms.
"So when do I have to be at the studio?" Ami asked.
"Not until two the next afternoon. Do you want to go anywhere to eat or would you rather stay here and sleep?"
"I'd rather take a nice long bath and sleep. I'm not really hungry."
"Okay." She kissed Amilan on the forehead. "Good night mi hermanita." She said, using her nickname for her ever since they were kids. Michelle left to go call her wife, Amara, and see if everything was all right with her and Lita.
The next day, Ami showed up at the studio early, to meet the producer and everybody. Since Zach hadn't shown up yet, she decided to go to the room they had given her and read. About an hour later, her reading was interrupted by a knock. She opened the door and found herself looking up into the most beautiful pair of green eyes she had ever seen. They were a mesmerizing leaf green, and she felt like she could drown in them. She blushed and looked away.
"Excuse me, but are you Amilan?" His voice was warm and slightly low.
"Yes I am. And you're Zach right?"
Zach took a moment to get his mind right. He had thought her picture looked beautiful, but that was nothing compared to the real thing. Her voice was high and sweet, like bells.
"Yeah I am. The producer wanted us to meet and he wanted me to tell you we're starting in 15 minutes." He said. "I think that we'll get along really well, don't you?"
She smiled. "I hope so." Her eyes widened. {I can't believe I'm flirting with him! I didn't even think I knew how to flirt.} She thought, unaware that he was thinking the same thing about himself. 30 minutes later, they were in the studio recording. Ami was listening to Zach sing.
"I always thought that everything would be okay with me and you I was wrong. When I looked into your eyes, I didn't see all the things I used to see. What's going on?"
Ami took a deep breath. It was her turn.
"You gave me reason to believe that we were always meant to be But now I see, you were wrong. You can't keep running back to me with all those baby, baby pleases no more."
They both started singing
Never imagined you would be a faded picture I'm emotional You sound believing though deceiving its official, I'm emotional."
Then Ami started again.
"I can't forget that night I saw you in the corner after dark. You were wrong. Slow dancing on the floor while I was watching from the door, so hurt There you were. You gave me reason to believe that we were always meant to be But now I see, you were wrong You can't keep running back to me with all those baby, baby pleases no more. No more."
Zach joined in the chorus again. Then they sang a verse together.
You had the chance but you threw all away Thought you had my love away Oh baby I don't understand why you'd think that we could stay In total unhappiness.
Zach drew out the note while Ami hit a high on the last syllable, creating a perfect harmony. They repeated the chorus until it faded out. The producer wrapped it up and told them that they could go.
Before Ami could walk away to her cousin's car, Zach caught up with her.
"Amilan, would you like to go out with me for dinner or something?" He asked. Ami blushed.
"Only if you call me Ami. What were you thinking?"
"Italian?"
"I love Italian. Let me just tell Michi were I'm going." Ami walked over to where Michelle was conversing with Yaten. A few minutes later she came back and nodded. Zach gallantly offered his arm to her and she took it, blushing furiously. He led her to his Escalade and they left. In the car, Zach came right out and asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Ummm...Ami? Am I making you nervous, because if I am you can just tell me what I did."
"You're not making me nervous. Why would you think that?" Ami asked, confused.
"Well, every time I talk to you or look at you, you blush."
"Oh. You're not making me nervous. It's just that I'm not used to guys paying attention to me. Even before, we signed with Diddy, everyone usually focused on Mina, Lita or Rei. I've grown used to it, so I guess I'm just a little shy, when it comes to guys."
"I don't see how some one could ignore you. You're pretty and what from what I've seen, smart and well-articulated. I always thought you were the... oh we're here." Zach pulled up into a nice little Italian restaurant. He was out and opening the door for her before she could say anything. He led her inside and they sat down at a table that had a nice view of the ocean. They laughed and talked the whole time. Ami felt really comfortable with him. She had dropped her shy girl shield during the middle of the dinner and started opening up. By dessert she felt bold enough to ask a question.
"Zach? You never finished what you were going to say before we got here."
Zach grinned. "I was going to say, I always thought you were the most beautiful girl out of your whole group." He said casually, reaching for her hand and kissing it. He called for the check and they left. Ami seemed kind of thoughtful during the trip to her hotel, so Zach didn't say much. When they got to her hotel, he insisted on walking her up to her suite.
"Thanks for the dinner. It was..." Ami's voice trailed off as a pair of lips pressed themselves to hers. After a brief moment, Zach pulled away. He winced, expecting to get slapped for his forwardness. Instead, Ami pulled him into another kiss. It surprised the hell out of him, because he thought Ami didn't even know how to French, let alone like a pro. She pulled away and ran into her room, leaving Zach with a grin so big it could have split his face.
"Michi? I'm home!" Ami said, knocking on the door once. Michelle opened the door. "Why don't we give each other manicures while you tell me about your date?" She suggested. They stayed up for about two hours talking about relationships and such. After Michelle had left, Ami called Lita to see how she was doing.
"Lita? Hi it's Amilan."
"Hey Ami! How was the recording?"
"It was great! And he took me out to dinner afterwards."
"Really! Did you have fun? Did he kiss you?"
"Yes and yes." Ami held the phone away from her ear while Lita shrieked.
"Well, is he a good kisser?"
"Lita! Well, I don't have much to compare it to, but he made me weak in the knees and I kissed him. The date was fun. I hope that we can start seeing each other. So how is everything with you?"
"Nate and I kissed once but Taiki and Amara interrupted us. We're making each other dinner after the recording."
"Nate? You're already calling him by his nickname?"
"Yeah. Anywayz, he is really sweet and a perfect gentleman. I think I'm in love."
"Didn't you say that the last four times you met guys?" Ami giggled.
Lita laughed. "Yeah I know, but this time I'm serious. I've got to go. Bye. I hope you and Zach start up a nice long relationship, so your self-esteem rises."
Ami laughed. "Bye." She hung up and went to sleep. The next day, she was about to call Zach but she realized that she didn't have his phone number. She slapped herself on the forehead in exasperation. Someone knocked when she was in the middle of her slap. She got up and opened the door.
"Zach! Hi, come in!"
"Thanks. I've got about five hundred girls chasing after me. I had brought you some roses but I lost them trying to run away. I think they're gone." Ami listened, and sure enough, she heard screaming. He faked an exaggerated sigh. "Being rich, famous and cute is so taxing." Ami giggled. She led him in and he sat in a chair while she sat on her bed.
"But you do it so well."
"I know." Zach said conceitedly.
"Uh!" Ami tossed a pillow at him, which he caught easily.
"You try to bring a girl some flowers and she tries to mortally wound you with a pillow. What happened to the good old days when pillows stayed away from a girl's suitors' head?" Zach joked, walking over to where Ami was sitting on her bed and sitting beside her. She looked at him.
"You deserved it." She said, grinning.
"You know what I think I deserve?" He asked, tilting up her chin, so their eyes were level.
"What?" She asked. He kissed her gently.
"That."
"That's all?" Ami asked.
"Not if you don't want it to be." Zach said, pulling her into his lap.
Yeah, I know it was fluffy. But I think it was still good. The next chapter will be Mina/Malachi. Review and tell me. No flames, remember that. Love, peace and chicken grease!! (
