Miley and Nick- 24 (December 31)
"We need to get on that plane" Nick said pointing to the board on the wall above one of the ladies that worked on the airplane
"I am sorry sir, there are no seats left" She said
"Thanks" Nick said but trust me he was anything but thankful. There was a huge snow storm coming in later tonight, and we had to be back in California. With the snow storm coming we needed to get out of New York as quickly as possible. You would think it would be easier since the flights were coming in for New Years tonight, but wrong. With the snow storms coming, everyone is going home. And that left us stuck here.
You could tell Nick was seriously ready to get down to business. There was always a side to Nick were he was so serious and nobody was to mess with him because he'd be in one of those moods. Nick sat there staring straight ahead, I knew he was trying to find someway for us to get out of here. We couldn't be stuck here for longer than tomorrow and by the sounds of the storm, we had to hurry. Nick and I had work on Monday.
"This is so stupid" Nick said shaking his head before getting up and going over to the desk again, as if he was going to find a flight by now. I decided to stay right where I was, and just watch the people walk by. Our bags were packed in less than twenty minutes because we knew that we were going to run into this problem. It sucks that we had to leave on such short notice and two days before we originally had to leave. Last night was so perfect than we had to turn on the news this morning and ruin the whole vibe.
I watched as Nick threw his hands in the air, run a hand through his hair, his feet shuffle, and his arms cross over his chest all done in less than a minute. He was so funny when he get's like this. And he doesn't even know he does it either. Nick turned towards me and shook his head, I knew he was annoyed. I gave him a small smile and a shrug. There wasn't really much we could do that could change the way things turn out. Nick turned back around as I saw the lady talking again.
I looked around and saw people at every counter in this place, this was not going to be easy. And people were just as frustrated as Nick. I honestly wouldn't mind to stay here during a snow storm but than the whole reality comes into mind, such as work. I looked up and saw Nick just coming up to me. I could see a small smile on his face, his hands came from behind his back and out pulled two tickets.
"We have a layover in Kansas but that's alright at least we are getting out of this place before the snow starts hitting hard" Nick said grabbing the bags "We've got to hurry the plane is about to board"
I nodded and grabbed some of my bags. We dropped them off and we went through security and we showed up at the door just in time, as they were calling our rows. Nick and I boarded the plane and found our seats. I really didn't want to leave New York, I loved this place. I hope that Nick and I come back one day. There was so much to do and we could do a little bit of what New York has for us. Nick's cell phone went off, and Nick looked at me confused before reaching it and answered it.
"Hello" Nick said leaning back in his chair, I could hear a mumbled tone but I couldn't figure out who it was
"Hi mom" Nick laughed and it was quiet on Nick's end for a few until Nick looked over at me with an amused look on his face. Nick put the phone between us and motioned for me to listen. I leaned over and tried to listen to what Denise was saying. And I really didn't need to try and listen to what she was saying, I could hear it perfectly.
"Nicholas you better tell me right now!" Denise said sternly "Nicholas, Nicholas where are you, why aren't you answering. Oh my gosh did I ruin it, my call ruined it didn't it? Nicholas you better answer me right now"
I laughed and moved the phone to Nick's ear. Nick put the phone on his other ear.
"Yes I am here mom" Nick said and he didn't say anything for a few seconds. "Mom, mom calm down. Take a deep breath and stop"
"We are the way home, there is a huge snow storm coming so we are on the way home now" Nick said as the poor boy tried to answer his mom before she had a heart attack.
Nick grabbed my left hand and I knew that his mom was asking about the one thing that has been on her mind since and on mine since last night. I looked down just to make sure it was there, my engagement ring. I smiled at it and I looked at Nick and saw that he was staring at it to. He sort of had this amazement in his eyes as he stared at it. Nick smiled and broke his stare now looking straight ahead.
"Mom I will talk to you when we get home" Nick said "Mom…"
Nick shook his head and than he said "I will talk to you when we get there, mom stop talking"
This was so like Denise, and that's what made her so cool.
"Bye mom…" Nick said shaking his head "Bye mom"
Nick took his phone from his ear and turned it off before putting it in his pocket with his free hand. He looked at me before laughing a little.
"So my mom wanted to know what you said" Nick said as he thumb ran over the ring a few times.
I smiled and said "You should've told her that I said no, she would have flipped a lid"
"No that would have caused a heart attack" Nick laughed as he brought my hand to his lips and kissed them.
XOXOXOXOXO
"I am so ready to just go back to the place and crash" I said as we sat in the car
"I told my mom I would get Elvis tonight; she said he was eating everything he could get his paws on"
I nodded and leaned my seat back, the weather change was different. I didn't notice how unusually comfortable I got with the weather there. Now I was dressed in shorts and a shirt that went to my elbows, how did I go from thick jackets to that? Nick drove and I felt bad because I knew he had to be tired from the flight and not getting back until late last night.
I closed my eyes hoping that I wouldn't fall asleep. But I must of because the next thing I remember is Nick waking me up saying that if I didn't his mom would come and get me in the car. And that is why I am half sleep walking into his parents house. Nick opened the door and the two of us walked in there.
I could feel the stairs as we walked in farther. My dad was there with Heather and Danielle, and Denise all were staring at us. Nick closed the front door and Elvis came running over to us.
"Hey Elvis" I said getting on my knees as he jumped up, he was so freaking big. I started to pet him and Nick took his hand and pet him. Elvis licked me in the face before licking Nick's hand. "I heard you were a bad boy Elvis"
I put both hand on his head to make him stop moving his head around so much.
"Oh my gosh!" Denise screeched joyfully as she came over with tears in her eyes as she pulled Nick in a hug "She said yes"
I looked at how obvious I had made it without really trying. Nick laughed patting his mothers back and looked at me amused. Denise let go of Nick and looked at me as I started to stand up.
"Welcome to the family officially" Denise said crying as she came to hug me
"Not yet" I laughed hugging her back
"I am just so happy that you said yes" Denise cried softly as she hugged me closer.
"Me too" I said smiling brightly at Nick who stood there staring at us with a smile on his face, but my dad came over and gave him a hug. Denise let me go and took my hand to bring it up a little higher.
"It looks even better on you than it did at the store" Denise said shaking her head smiling, she put my hand down and wiped her eyes. My dad came over to me next and I smiled as I saw the look on his face. He wrapped me in a hug
"My baby girl is just growing up way too fast" He mumbled as he tightened his grip
"We need to go out tonight and celebrate" Heather said
"Yeah" Denise said excited "We can invite all your friends tonight and we can a New Year's Eve party/ Engagement party"
"Not tonight mom" Nick said shaking his head, Denise looked over at him "We didn't get back to the hotel until late last night and we've been on a plane for most of the day."
I nodded and smiled a little.
"Fine but I am having you guys an engagement party" Denise said determined. I smiled and nodded.
"Where are Elvis' things?" Nick asked walking around
"You guys aren't going to stay to watch the ball drop?"
"No" Nick dragged out picking up some of his chew toys "We're going to head back we're wiped out"
"Okay" My dad said sitting down on the couch. Nick came back with the bag of food and a bag of toys and such things, I grabbed the plastic bag from him.
"Alright well I will get back to you about the party" Denise said "Heather can help me plan it, won't you?"
"Yep" Heather smiled and went back to watching the TV
"Come on Elvis" I said patting my leg, Elvis made a run for it and I put a leash on him. "Thanks for watching him and I am sorry that he ate all your stuff"
"Anytime, and he didn't eat that much stuff" Denise said
"Are you ready to go?" Nick asked, I nodded "Well we will talk to you guys later"
They walked us out of the house and to the car. I set Elvis in the back and Nick put the dog food in the trunk, as if we were really that stupid. Everyone gave us rounds of hugs and 'Congratulations' before we got in the car. We finally were able to drive away, Elvis' wet nose rubbed against my elbow but I ignored it. I didn't feel like petting him, and I knew I couldn't set the seat down because he would be all in my face. I set my head on the window and shut my eyes. This week flew by so fast but I wouldn't change anything. It was so much fun and exciting. New York was amazing.
The ride wasn't long to our apartment, and I looked at the time. It was nine o'clock and I was already ready to head to bed. If we were in New York we would be getting ready to go out and see the ball drop. But no, stupid snow storm happened and ruined all our plans. I can't believe had those plans and they were ruined in less than a day. It's crazy at how things work so fast.
Nick stopped the car and I went to get the bags out of the trunk. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the backseat.
"Let's get them in the morning and just get Elvis tonight" I said opening the door and grabbing his leash. We walked up to the apartment and Nick grabbed his key off the keychain before putting it in the key whole. We walked in and Elvis went crazy, his tail was wagging. Nick bent down and unleashed him. Elvis ran all over the apartment, on the sofa, the chair, just everything. I took the energy to laugh and kicked off my shoes.
"I don't know about you but I am going to take a long shower and get in my pajama's and just lay around" I said going into the bedroom to grab a pair of sweats and tank top.
Nick mumbled something as he followed behind me and collapsed on the bed. I grabbed my stuff and went into the bathroom. I realized that my toothbrush was in the car along with the toothpaste. But I remembered we had bought a big thing of extra ones just in case someone who stayed, forgot to bring theirs. I started the shower and stripped as it got hotter.
When I was finished I put my hair in a messy bun and got dressed. I brushed my teeth and went out the bathroom. Nick was now under the covers, his shirt was off. He was probably in his pajama bottoms. His eyes were closed and I think he's asleep. The TV was turned on and coverage of New Years Eve was on and the only light on was the side light on his side. I went over to bed and laid down. It felt so good to be washed and in my own bed. The hotel beds were comfortable but being in my own felt even better. I shifted in bed to make myself comfortable. I laid my head down on the pillow and Nick was in fact asleep.
I leaned over as softly as I could and turned off his light and moved back to my spot on the bed. I looked overtop the covers and watched the TV. About two hours later Elvis came and joined me, so I let him sit at the end of my feet. Nick started to stir and I smiled as his eyes opened. He sat up a little and looked around.
"Whoa how long was I asleep for?" He asked putting his head back on the pillow
"I came out of the shower and you were out" I said looking over at him "It's probably like two and a half hours."
"Sorry" He said wiping his eyes and sitting up a little.
"No big deal" I said "I would have fell asleep with you but I got watching these performers and I couldn't go to sleep until the ball dropped"
"Oh" Nick said, I leaned my head on his shoulder watching the TV "I'm sorry that we had to come back early"
"It's not your fault, I am just glad we got back here before the storm came and we got stuck there. I had an amazing time, so that makes up for us having to leave early"
"I'm glad your enjoyed it" He said, I wrapped my right arm around his waist and hugged him closer. I sat there soaking in his sent, I don't how to describe what he smelt like but I know that's it's my favorite. I sat here also thinking about what had happened this week, I know I've been thinking about it a lot but it was so perfect.
"I can't believe we're getting married' I smiled putting my left hand on his chest resting it there for both of us to see my ring. Nick smiled and nodded.
"Have you thought of a date?" He asked playing with it on my hand
I had been thinking about it, all today I had been thinking about it. I nodded and looked up at him. "I kind of want our wedding to be in the spring"
"Spring sound good" Nick nodded and I sat here thinking of what month "What about April?"
"That's four months away" I said
"Too close?" Nick asked confused
"Actually I think that four months is okay" I said smiling "I kind of like the sound of an April wedding"
"Plus it could be closer to May than April" Nick suggested
"Sounds like a plan buddy boy" I smiled kissing him lightly before snuggling back into his chest. I felt his hands run through my hair, and my eyes grow sleepy once again. It wasn't long until I was a goner for the night.
XOXOXOXO
A week later
I was in a nice little dress it wasn't that much but it was enough for where we were going. Denise and Heather had made arrangements with Taylor and them all to meet at this sushi restaurant. I could deal with a night of that. Nick had just parked and I could see Denise and Paul standing outside with Danielle.
I smiled a little when I saw Lilly go over with them. I talked to her the other day and spilled the beans to her and Taylor. They were so excited for me. Lilly told me about how she told Oliver about the baby. And to no surprise Oliver fainted. He was always the one to faint, I mean seriously that boy had issues in that department.
I unbuckled my seatbelt and opened the door. Nick was halfway to my door and gave me a confused look, but I smiled and shrugged before going to run to my best friends. In these heals it was hard but I did it without a trip. Lilly and Taylor looked over as they must of heard me running. They opened their arms and hugged me.
"Our trio is back" Taylor laughed
I laughed and leaned back, and let go.
"Let me see it" Lilly said grabbing my hand and inspecting the ring. She looked to her right at Nick and she was practically drooling "Damn boy that's a nice looking ring"
"I know" Nick smiled nodding his head
I giggled and went over to grab his hand, this night was about us. Taylor winked at us before she went to get Elizabeth. I smiled because I knew we were to have that in the near future. I let go of Nick's hand and hugged Denise and Paul.
"Hey Nick" Danielle said to her brother
"Hey squirt" Nick said picking her up and putting her on his hip, but soon put her down "Sorry Danni your getting to hip to hold you like that"
Danielle smiled brightly up at him "I am eight now"
"Too big" Nick shook his head and grabbed my hand again
"Your dad and Heather are already in there, we said that we would wait out here for you two to arrive"
"Well let's get this party started" Lilly laughed as we all walked in. We got directed to our seats and my dad stood up along with Heather as we reached them. My dad smiled and brought me into a hug, and than Nick into one. Heather was the next to and we all sat down.
"What are you getting?" Nick asked
"Mmm…I don't know all sushi is good. I wish I could get it all" I laughed picking up my menu to look at it.
Within seconds I found my best choice.
"Hey babe" I said trying to get Nick's attention just as he finished talking to his mom, he looked over at me "Have you ever tried the spider roll?"
Nick shook his head and looked at what I was talking about, I knew Nick only liked certain types of sushi and other than those he wasn't to into it.
"If I get two sticks with you eat some so I'm not wasting it?" I asked
"Yeah plus there's other people that could help" Nick said nodding, I smiled and went back to looking at the menu.
The man came over and took our drink orders and since all of us already knew what we wanted we ordered. Poor Danielle and Elizabeth had to order something that they weren't sure what it was. I hope that they like it. I looked around the table and Denise smiled at us.
"So have you two set a date yet?"
I looked at Nick to see if he didn't mind if I told them now. Nick put a hand on my leg, and I knew that it was a sign that it was okay.
"Well we did actually" I smiled "It's for May sixth"
Nick and I decided that it would be best to have it in May but not late in May. There was something about May that we liked so we looked into it and May sixth sounded the best.
"That's in five months" My dad said
"We know" Nick said "It may sound soon but…"
"That's not soon" Paul said shaking his head, I looked up and saw everyone with an agreeing look.
"Really?" I asked
"Nope, that's actually the right amount of time" Denise said
"I wouldn't know anything about this" Joe laughed and shrugged, ah yes their one day engagement/wedding. The one that we all will never forget.
The dinner went on good, and as predicted Elizabeth didn't like it so Joe had to end up leaving to get her a happy meal. But Danielle liked it, poor kids had no idea though. Denise laughed as her daughter chewed the sushi and moaned at the taste of it.
"It's good isn't it?" I asked her
"Yeah it looked gross at first but it's awesome" Danielle said taking another bite.
Lilly was really glowing, she looked amazing and the looks between her and Oliver were so lovely. They were so adorable together and now they had a kid on. I laugh thinking about something and that caused Nick to look over at me.
"What?" He asked
"Nothing" I said embarrassed because I didn't want it to get out what I was thinking
"You were laughing about something"
'I'll tell you later" I said because I knew he would forget before the night was over. And that came by too fast because before I knew it we were outside laughing about something Joe had just said. His arm was wrapped around Taylor's waist as Elizabeth was asleep on his shoulder.
"Well we better call it a night, we've got to get this little one asleep" Taylor said pointing to her daughter. Nick and I went over and gave them hugs and said thanks for them coming tonight.
They left and than so did Lilly and Oliver. We went through that routine a couple of times until our parents were only left.
"Well thanks for a great time" Nick said going to hug the four of them, Danielle had already headed to the car. She was tired and I couldn't blame her.
"Your welcome we're all just so happy for the two of you" Denise said moving over to me and bringing me into a hug and than Paul added one in there.
I smiled and went over to my dad and Heather along with Nick who hugged them to. When we were finished Denise looked between us to and shook her head before speaking "I always knew you two would end up like this"
Nick wrapped his arms around the back of me and rested his chin on my shoulder
"Did you now?" Nick asked grabbing my hands and intertwining them together in front of us.
"Yep you two were destined together" Denise smiled and grabbed Paul's hand waving at us and winking as they started to walk away "Talk to you later"
"We will talk to you guys later to" My dad said walking with Heather to his car. Nick kissed under my ear let go of me.
"Ready to go home?" He asked, I nodded and I leaned my head on his shoulder as we walked to his car.
Okay I know this chapter was a little boring and this story seems to be dragging on but next couple of chapter will have wedding plans. That could only lead to stress, so I hope that I can write it interesting. Little drama, but more stress than anything. Thanks for reading and the reviews weren't showing up on the website, I wonder what was wrong?
Thanks again for all the fantastic reviews! Please 10 before the next chapter. I am working on a chapter for 'Dramma for a Momma' and 'A Cheer Tale' but that thing is that the co-writer I had for that story isn't answering me so I have to do it by myself and I have so much on my plate already. But I am trying!
Please 10 reviews. Thanks for getting me this far! Almost 500 you guys are the best. I love you guys! Seriously thanks!
