A/N: Hello lovelies! It's nice to update Nick and Ellie's story again. I've annoyingly been writing but not completing my stories about them. But here it is! Another chapter that I sincerely hope that you like :D.
Songs involved in this story: Fearless by Taylor Swift, Somebody Like You by Keith Urban, and Long Hot Summer by Keith Urban. The last two songs are very relate-able to Nick and Ellie and they are wonderfully awesome (if you like Country Music that is).

Disclaimer: I do not own any songs used in this chapter. They all belong to their respective artists that are listed above.

Oh and I dedicate this to my friend R.S in hope that she will find a guy who appreciates her and makes her happy.

Nick's POV

Country music blasted from inside the kitchen.

The smell combined with the music lured me towards the kitchen, and there I found Ellie.

She stirred the pancake mix evenly and I took a moment to admire how comfy she looked. For once, her face was bare—without any trace of make up, and her brown curly hair was wild and haphazardly put into a bun at the top of her head.

She looked untamed and different and it was interesting to see her so...free.

Plus she was shaking her butt and singing along to the country music on the radio.

This was the real Ellie.

I crept up behind her and inhaled the aroma surrounding her; it smelled like cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla—a very good combination. Not being able to resist her a moment more, I wound my arms around her slender waist—immediately stopping her boogying.

"Nice dance moves," I chuckled into her ear—breathing in her wonderful scent.

"Don't ever scare me like that again!" Ellie scolded annoyed, twisting around to face me. I noticed she had a smear of flour across her cheek and it made me smile again. "By the way have you heard of personal space?" Ellie asked, pushing on my chest to create more distance between us. But I didn't budge.

"Of course I have, I just seem to forget about it when you're around," I replied cheekily, while giving her a toothy smile.

She actually cracked a smile this time. But, as if noticing her actions, her mouth turned back into a stubborn frown, and she spun back to take care of her cooking.

I sighed—annoyed with her actions. My ears tuned in to the new song that streamed out of the radio, and I saw Ellie bob her head back and forth to the steady rhythm.

A sly grin spread across my face, and I grabbed Ellie's waist—roughly spinning her around to face me. Her shocked expression made me chuckle, and my hands found her waist and right hand. I playfully danced with her while singing loudly off-key to the song on the radio. I think it was a Taylor Swift Song.

And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless

I stumbled blindly over the words and chords, not really knowing the song, but I managed to coax several laughs out of Ellie who was spinning quite happily in my arms.

I spun her out of my arms, and back into my arms, slowly swaying to the last lines of the song. Finally, I dipped her slowly as the last chord resonated into the large kitchen.

I pulled her back up and she smiled widely, and my stomach fluttered happily at the sight of her happiness.

The radio then proceeded to play a more upbeat and fast-paced song. Plus it was a song I knew.

"Yeahhhh! I wanna feel the sun shine, shining down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me, you let me know there's nothing in this world I can't doooo..." I sang loudly, accompanying Keith Urban's singing, making Ellie laugh hysterically. We were dancing around the kitchen, occasionally flinging flour at each other.

I'm ready to love somebody,
Love somebody like you. Ohh.
An' I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you, yeah.

Ellie swatted me away while I inappropriately danced to the last few lines of the song. Not stopping my suggestive gesture, she hurled flour into my face.

Pretending to be mad, I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me. Ellie stumbled into my chest, while I crushed her in a warm embrace. She tried to wriggle free, but she didn't seem to notice my other hand that was reaching for some more flour. Grabbing a handful, I flung it at her face.

"Nick!" Ellie spluttered and coughed. I laughed and started running with Ellie pursuing me quickly. Keith's next song traveled to the rest of the house:

It's gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together
With your feet up on the dashboard now
Singing along with the radio, it's such a beautiful sound
And when you say my name in the middle of the day, I swear I see the stars come out
When you hold my hand in the back of my mind, just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down...
