Hey, thank you for the five reviews I received last chapter! They made me so happy! And to every Fabina fan, maybe they'll get together and maybe they won't. It depends on what I'm feeling .
Nina
I groaned, and flopped on my hotel bed. Harris had said we didn't have to share with anyone, but I and Amber roomed together so it would be like old times. I actually asked if I could share with Fabian, but that was before…never mind.
I had just come back from a grueling day at rehearsal. The concert was two days away, and they still hadn't decided what I was going to sing, and argued until my head spun and I got a migraine. That's right; I didn't even get to pick my own songs! It was insane!
I rolled over, and checked my messages. Nothing from Fabian (as if), Amber, Patricia, Mara or Jerome. BEEP, my phone went, and I saw that it was will texting. I grinned, and clicked onto it. Want 2 go on a date 2nite? It read. I smiled, but then frowned. Amber had made me promise to go with her to a karaoke club that she had found. I'd love 2, but i promised Ams id go with her 2 a karaoke place =(. Want 2 come? Immediately, he texted back: Yeah, sounds good. What time should i pick u up? I grinned. Sorry, Ams wants 2 go in a limo. U want me 2 pick u up around 7? BEEP. Sure. See u then.
I grinned, and went over to my closet. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
oOoOoOo

"Hey, slimeball," I said, poking Eddie's side. I shared the hotel room with him, so all I had to do was reach over and poke his side. He popped out an ear bud, and looked at me. "I feel lonely," I fake pouted. "Really? This is my favorite Sick Puppies song!" he protested. I wrinkled my nose. "You listen to that? It's just a bunch of guys yelling," I said. "Oh, c'mon, you know you love it! You know you want it!" he chanted, shoving his iPod towards me. "No way, Amy Winehouse is so much better!" I said, shoving it away from me. "C'mon, indulge in your urge," he said, hopping over to my bed and waving the iPod in my face, his knees parallel to my hips.
"Wow, you have vocabulary, doofus?" I joked, shoving the thin music player away from my face. "Oh, it's on," he said, his lips brushing against mine. Before I could deepen the kiss, he yanked away and stood up, and started listening to his music again, smirking at me.
I smiled, stood up and wrapped my arms around him. He kissed me, and we started French kissing. During this, I gently tugged at his iPod until the ear buds came out of his ears. I tossed it onto his bed, but we were too into the kiss to notice. He guided me over to my bed, where we made out, him on top and me on the bottom.
After fifteen minutes of kissing, I tugged at his shirt. I could feel him smiling, and he broke the kiss for a minute to take off his shirt. He then fumbled with my own shirt, until I took it off, so I only had on my bra before I was bare-chested.
Of course, the bra came off. So did Eddie's pants, and mine. Before we took off our only remaining garments, I paused for a moment. I was far from being a virgin-Eddie and I practically had sex every week-but this was our first time unprotected. "Eddie," I mumbled as he trailed kisses down my arms. "Hmm?" he muttered, coming back to my mouth. "We…don't…have…condoms…" I muttered between the kisses. "Don't worry about that now," he murmured, pulling down my thong. "Let's just have fun."
oOoOoOo
Nina
"Here we are!" the driver said cheerfully. "Thanks," I said, paying him. We hopped out of the cab, and headed to the karaoke place.
"And I will always love you…" an off-pitch singer sang as we came inside The Music Note. There were tables surrounding the stages, and people sipped iced tea and listened to people. I clung to Will's arm as we sat down next to the stage. "Nina, you need to sing," Amber announced. "No," I said, staring at the stage. Honestly, how did a crowd of 1 million fans not scare me, but singing in front of random people does?
"Too late. I sort of held your place before we came," Amber said, pushing me up on the stage. "And here is Nina Martin, our next singer!" the French dude said. "Which do you want to sing?" he pointed to the screen. I immediately saw one of my favorite songs, and pointed to it. "Okay. NOW, GIVE IT UP FOR NINA MARTIN SINGING IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME!"
I took a deep breath, and began:
There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window
There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant that you left
And I can't remember where or when or how
And I banished every memory you and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit that
It's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And you hold me like that
It's so hard to believe,
But it's all coming back to me
It's all coming back,
It's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light
There were things that I'd never do again, but then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure, it was more than any laws allowed
Baby, baby
If I kiss you like this, and you hold me like that
It was lost long ago, but it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago, but it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist, and it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back!
But you were history with the slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time on you again
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago, but it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this,
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me
It's all coming back; it's all coming back to me now
There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again, but then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure, it was more than all your laws allowed
Baby, baby, baby
When you touch me like this,
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind but it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this,
And when I see you like that
Then we all see what we want to see, all coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies all coming back to me,
I can barely recall, but it's all coming back to me now
If you forgive me all this,
If you forgive me all that,
We forgive and forget and it's all coming back to me
Now…
And if we…
I took a deep breath, and waited. Silence is what I heard. Then, clapping. Enormous, thundering clapping filled the place. I looked around, with a mixture of shock and happiness. They really liked me! The DJ grabbed my hand and said, "Give it up for Nina Martin!" Everyone whistled and cheered.
I smiled, embarrassed yet gratified at the same, and attempted to get down off the stage. A chorus of no's and stay's filled the air. I grinned, and hopped back onto the stage. "Maybe just one more song…"
oOoOoOo
Amber
I was so happy Nina was dating Will-he was such a great guy-but she and Fabian just belonged together. So-very secretly, of course!-I launched Operation Fabina. I smiled as she chose her song; it was perfect for the start of the first phase.
I quietly got out my phone, and pressed the recording app. As I listened to her strong voice belt out the lyrics, I smiled. This was going to work!
"And if we…" she sang last. I stopped the recording, and sent it in a text message to Fabian with the words: If you love her, bring the whole house down 2 the music note. Its two blocks down from the hotel. I grinned, and sent the text message. "What are you smiling at?" Will asked. "Um, nothing," I said, trying to avoid his eyes. He was such a nice guy-and cute, too-but Fabina was a match made in heaven. "Oh-kay," he said, stretching out the word like he didn't believe me.
Now I had to get Will out of the way. I remembered vaguely a time when Nina, Will and I hung out, and they were chatting while I was in the dressing room. They somehow landed on allergies, and Will had said, "I'm allergic to green peppers. My throat closes up and my skin is all itchy and red." I smiled, and signaled to a waitress. "Hi, can I get some nachos with green peppers?" The waitress nodded, and then looked over me. "You sure you don't want it fat free?" I self-consciously wrapped my hands around my suddenly huge-looking stomach. "Yes," I said curtly, remembering what my therapist had said.
Will, who hadn't been listening, tuned back in. "What'd you get?" he asked absentmindedly, watching his girlfriend sing on the stage, a small smile on his lips. "Just some nachos," I said innocently. He nodded, his eyes still fixated on Nina. I smiled. Everything was going according to plan.
oOoOoOo
Patricia
"Seriously, Fabian? You want us to follow you to some stupid karaoke place so you can chase your ex that YOU broke up with?" I asked, a little annoyed because he woke me up from a nap. Hey, I was sleeping in Eddie's arms! "Yeah," he said simply, but his eyes pleaded for me to say yes. Everyone else had agreed, even Eddie, but I was stubborn. I sighed, and sat up from where I was on my bed reading a book. "Fine, let's go."
At 'The Music Note' (seriously, what kind of name IS that?) Amber gave Fabian some money and told him something. He nodded and headed over to the cash register where you pay for meals, his eyes never leaving the stage, where the golden girl belted out lyrics to songs I'd never even heard of.
Amber pulled us into a corner. "Okay, now I need you guys' help. Do you think that Fabian and Nina belong together? All who do say 'I'!" It was silent for an awkward moment, and all of a sudden, we all said 'I' at the same time, jinxing everyone. Amber smiled, probably thinking that it would work perfectly with whatever plan she had come up with.
"Great, now I have a plan…" Amber said, as if reading my mind. "It will get Will out of the picture and Fabian back in. Here's what's going to happen…"
What do you think? I kind of really want to write the next chapter, even though I have no idea what it's going to consist of. But since it's the weekend, you'll probably see it by Sunday night!
Munchkins Rule ;)
