(no subject)
It had been about a week since the speed dating thing, and I still hadn’t heard from Nick. I told myself that he was busy with tour rehearsals, but still, I thought we had hit it off pretty well. I had his number, maybe I should call him, but I didn’t want to seem too pushy. But it had been a week with no contact from him. He was all that I could think about. Images of his stupid curls, his stupid eyebrows, and the way he lit up when talking about his brothers went thru my head like a never ending slideshow. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and send him a quick text letting him now I was thinking of him. I figured that it wasn’t that bad of an idea, because I would get my answer to whether he wanted to see me again or not without actually having to talk to him. I took my phone out and typed out a quick text message before I could change my mind.
Hey Nick, its Ashley.
Just figured I’d let you know I’m thinking of you.
-Ashley
There it was done and I couldn’t undo it. My heart was racing, I was so anxious for a reply. I just knew that he wasn’t going to reply, why would he want to talk to a normal girl like me when he could date any famous star out there. I mean the guy dated Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, so why would he want me. All kind of doubts were going thru my head, when my phone finally vibrated next to me. Nervously, I opened my phone and saw the text was from Nick.
Hey Ashley!!
I’m so so sorry it’s taken so long for me to get back to you.
I’ve been thinking about you, just haven’t had the time to call.
I promise I’ll call you tonight when we get out of the studio.
-Nick
Well there it was, he had been thinking about me. I couldn’t help but hide the stupid smile that was creeping its way across my face. He was going to call me later tonight, I couldn’t wait.
LATER THAT NIGHT
It was already well after nine, and still no phone call from Nick. I guess I should’ve known he was just saying that to appease me. It was his way of letting me down easily, tell me he’s going to call and then not and hope I got the hint. I couldn’t help but to think about how pathetic I was, actually sitting here crying over some unattainable rock star like he actually wanted me. The tears started forming in my eyes, and I angrily wiped them away, I refused to let myself cry over this guy. If he didn’t want me, too bad for him, I could have anyone I wanted. I didn’t need Nick Jonas to make me happy. I could be perfectly happy with someone else. But that slim chance that I actually had of being with Nick was still in the back of my mind. What if he actually called? What would I do, would I actually be able to handle his lifestyle? I sure thought I did at the moment because damn, it’s Nick Jonas and any girl would give up everything for the chance to even talk to him, much less date him. So why couldn’t I bring myself to believe that I actually had a chance, I mean he doesn’t go around giving his number to strangers, and I have it, so I had a chance. So why hadn’t he called me?
Just as I was starting to really doubt myself; my phone started vibrating next to me. I looked at my caller id and saw that it was Nick calling. My heart started racing and I could feel my palms getting sweaty. I picked up the phone after a few rings.
“Hello?”
“Hey, it’s Nick. I hope it’s not too late.”
“Oh no not at all, don’t worry about it, I’m just sitting here thinking.”
“Oh good, I almost didn’t call because I thought that you might be in bed. But I know that I promised and I didn’t want to break that.”
“Well, I really appreciate it Nick. So how are rehearsals going?”
“Oh, rehearsals are going amazing; we really can’t wait to get on the road again. But I’ve worked all day, let’s talk about something else. How was your day?”
“Ugh, my day was super long. Between finals and work I thought today would never end. You have no idea how much I’ve looked forward to this phone call.”
“Haha, really now? I didn’t realize that I was so entertaining.”
“Oh, you have no idea how entertaining you really are.”
“Well that’s nice to know. Maybe I can entertain you Friday night.”
“Hmm, maybe you can. It depends though.”
“Depends on what?”
“Depends on if you, Nick Jonas are actually asking me out on a date or not.”
“Well, it looks like we are going out on a date Friday night.”
“Well then it’s a date. I can’t wait.”
“Me neither. Well, Ashley it’s time for me to hit the sack.”
“Alright, Night Nick.”
And with that we hung up the phone. I couldn’t believe that we actually had a date.
