Chapter 4

"With you I lose myself. Without you I find myself wanting to become lost again."
--Unknown

He stared at me, intensely, he must have been thinking about something. At the sound of my voice he snapped out of it."Nothing." He rubbed his eyes then looked back up at me, smiling. "So Natalie, as long as we're pretty much stuck down here, why don't you tell me about yourself?"

"What do you want to know?"

"Anything. Where are you from?"

"Naperville, a suburb about 45 minutes away from Chicago." I laughed. I decided to keep going and help him out. " I am on the swim team, I have an older brother and a younger brother. Two cats. A bazillion fish."

He tipped his head in acknowlegement. "Good to know."

"My turn. So you guys are in Chicago to be on Oprah?"

"Yeah. Well, we taped it earlier this week. The rest of this week we've just been site seeing and stuff like that." He looked away and messed with something on the ground. When he looked back up he had a funny look on his face. "Favorite color."

"At the moment? Sea green." I lifted my chin. "Favorite movie?"

"August Rush. Favorite actor?"

"Don't have one. Favorite TV show?"

"Lost" He smirked at me and raised and eyebrow, challenging me. " Favorite Jonas Brother?"

I smiled wickedly at him. "Joe." I giggled as he took off his hat and chucked it, hitting me in the face. I took it and put it on my head. "You're not getting it back. It's mine now." I grabbed his sungl*CENSORED* and put them on. "How do I look?" I pushed the gl*CENSORED* down so I could see over them and struck a pose.

"Like a sick, homeless puppy." He smiled at me, an innocent smile.

"Haha very funny." I sat back against the wall and pushed the gl*CENSORED* back up on my face. "Favorite girl from Naperville, Nick?"

"Emily." He laughed

"Hey, you don't even know what she looks like!" I tried to sound hurt, but I was overcome by laughter.

"Most embarrasing moment." He ran his hands through his hair.

"Don't make fun of me. Okay." I looked at him seriously. "

"I'll try. It depends on what they are though. I can't promise anything."

"It's a toss up between the time I was waitressing for the valentines dinner at my church and set the bread basket on fire and the time I accidently got stuck in an airplane bathroom because I didn't see the sign that said pull and I thought you were supposed to push."

Nick's laughter echoed down the halls. My laughter joined his. "That's pretty bad, I'm not going to lie to you."

"Yeah, well, thats life." My laughter subsided and I looked him in the eyes, still wearing his gl*CENSORED*. "Best moment ever."

 "You're going to think I'm crazy."  He was looking me straight in the eye, his face completely serious. I took off his gl*CENSORED* and my heart stopped beating.

"No I won't." At my words he hesitated, giving me a questioning look. Then he continued.

"When I saw you at the meet and greet after our concert here. When you touched my hand." His beautiful face held complete honestly. His eyes held vulernablitiy. It was hard for him, I could tell. For once in my life I was speechless. I just sat there, staring at him in disbelief.

He did not just say that. It was way too good to be true. I must have made it up in my head. He couldn't have said that. He just couldn't have----could he?

Agghhh! What I would give to be stuck in a dark, empty hallway with Nick Jonas!

That chapter was sooooo cute, it literally made my day! Post more soon!

Chapter 5

"For suddenly, I saw you there
And through foggy London town
The sun was shining everywhere... "

I just sat there and stared at him. I tried to say something, I despretely wanted to say something, anything. I should have said something, but I just couldn't. I didn't know what to say. So I just sat there and stared at him; through his sungl*CENSORED*; while I was wearing his hat.

"I told you you were going to think I was absolutely crazy." He let out a stifled laugh.

It was at the height of my speechlessness that my mouth opened."I don't." It was official, I had absolutely no control over myself anymore. "I don't think you're crazy. It's just--" My mouth quit working once again.

"You're surprised I remember you." 

"And that it was the best moment of your life." My voice was soft, and a thousand times steadier than I expected. It caught me off gaurd. My heart was racing and I could feel the blood pounding in my head. 

"I'm surprised too." He looked at his feet, his eyebrows raised.

I smiled and let out a little laugh." I'm surprised because it was the best moment of my life too." I took a deep breath. It's hard to be valnerable, to open yourself up to be hurt. It's almost like you are condeming yourself to your own execution, because you are willingly handing your heart over to another person and letting them do  whatever they want to it. "And I felt stupid for feeling that way about one touch, one look. You didn't even know my name." The words poured out. I didn't even try to stop them, I had given up on that a while ago. Maybe I was making up for the bout of speechlessness I had encountered earlier. Nevertheless, my words kept flowing and my heart kept racing.

I stood up and began to pace back and forth in front of him." I had a feeling you felt the same way as I did, but the rest of me kept saying that there was no way. But I knew I had felt something, and there was no way I was ever going to be able to convince myself otherwise." I stopped. I couldn't believe the words that were coming out of my mouth. "Nick, I lived when you touched my hand. I mean really lived."

Nick stood up and faced me. Not a single word came out of his beautiful mouth, he just smiled, and yet, his smile told me a million things. Finally he spoke. "Natalie, I recognized you the second you ran into me. After that night I couldn't get you out of my head. You haunted me. I thought I was losing my mind."

"It is official. We both have gone completely crazy." I laughed as I leaned against the wall.

"You said it, sister."  He smiled at me.

"Nick," I hesitated, then decided there was no turning back now, not with the conversation we just had. "That song you sang on Oprah, Dream Girl, was--"

"Yeah." Nick nodded as he interrupted me. "It was about you." He took a step closer to me.

"Oh. Okay." As if pulled by a magnetic force I took a step towards him. We must have been half a foot apart. I could feel his body in front of me, and I could hear his soft breath. I looked up into his face. Take what I felt at the concert that night, multiply it by one billlion, and that was what I felt at that moment. Joy and peace and excitement and desire and happiness and content all at once corsed through my veins. With both hands he took his gl*CENSORED* off my face and I closed my eyes as his fingers brushed my skin. I could feel his face coming closer to mine and my brain completely shut down. All I could hear was the pounding in my head as his face drew closer and closer to mine. I could feel the breath from his mouth touching mine when a voice boomed out of the darkness.

"NICK? NATALIE? Are you guys down there?"

So thats it for now. I hope you guys like it. I'm not sure if i do yet..... comment and rate please!!!!
