Nick just stared at me....why didn't she tell me? I guess she didn't think it was appropriate at the time...but still...he felt a little jealous and hurt but her move…she could of at least told me upfront. Better to know now I guess before something happened...he quickly had an idea.

"Huh? I mean hi I'm Nick..." He shook my hand to avoid any confusion amongst anyone else. It felt weird shaking his hand once again knowing we had only met hours before that. But I followed his lead.

"I'm Skye..." I smiled shaking his hand and feeling a little silly...you would too wouldn't you?

"My fiancée how cute is she?" Will kissed my cheek. Nick felt disgusted in himself. How could he have invited her to dinner and she kept this from him? She must of had a reason...he never liked Will from day one. He seemed like a real sly person. He got a bad vibe from him. Why would a nice girl like Skye want to be with him?

"I'm going to wait in the car Will okay?" I had the sudden urge to leave. I don't think anyone else could blame me either.

"I'll be there soon!" Will shouted as I already had departed feeling less than amused with going to this shing dig anyway. Why did Nick have to be famous? Why didn't I see it before? Now he'll think I led him on. Oh god knows what he is thinking. I decided to stay in the car and ponder until Will arrived.....

"She's great Will..." AJ smiled. Will definitely knowing AJ would be a flirt. She's great? Yeah so great that she couldn't even tell me she was engaged.....Nick decided he would get ready for this after party. I doubt she would be there anyway.

"I'm gonna split and get ready for this party..." Nick made a quick exit but Brian was suspicious at Nick's change of heart. I saw him just before the show bouncing around like a school kid who got first place in the Science Fair.....what changed?

"You okay Frack?" Brian followed Nick into the dressing room.

"You know the woman I told you about today? That was her! She's engaged Bri! She's engaged to that prick!" Nick slumped into his chair was frustrated. Brian felt bad for him. He was so happy before and now his world came crashing down the minute Will walked in here with the girl Nick talked about non stop to everyone on his arm. He pulled up a seat and sat next to Nick.

"Skye? Geez that's gotta hurt...Nick I am sorry....I mean she seems like a nice girl...maybe that's what Will needs to pull him back at bit....I know he's a prick but let's face it. He's our Assistant's Boss while Mike is away. We can't do anything about it. He gets a promotion that's it we won't see him again and maybe it's for the best that you won't see Skye either...." Brian comforted his be stricken best friend.

"I can't believe she didn't tell me! Why didn't she? I feel like such a dumbass!" Nick put his hands to his head in shame. He didn't want to give up on her. But he had no choice.

"And so will she...she's gonna feel like even more of a dumbass for not telling you...." Nick knew Brian was right...he would probably never see her again anyway...how much of that was untrue...they never knew....

I felt so stupid. I should of told him! But why didn't I? Most guys I tell straight up but with Nick it was different. He made me feel different period...I didn't seem to make a point of Will be my fiancée I guess it slipped my mind. But I couldn't understand it. I always told people about me and Will. Especially guys that ask me out on dates. I thought it was just a crush or something before Will and I get married or even cold feet. I was dead wrong....

"Honey are you okay? You've been very quiet tonight" Will put his hand on mine. I got a shiver down my spine. He felt me shiver. We drove to our destination. Welcome to an evening of loneliness for me. Will would introduce me to people I don't know and then tell me to mingle among guests. It was always the same. I found my favorite spot. A sofa away from everyone. In the end I walked outside to get some air and sat at a table on the balcony.

"If I knew you were engaged I wouldn't of asked you out..." Nick's voice filled my ears as well as guilt. He sat next to me.

"I'm so sorry...I feel bad I should of told you...anyhow we were still going as friends right?" I raised an eyebrow. Nick's eyes lit up.

"Of course we are nothing more...So is this thing a regular thing for you?" Nick watched me very closely. If I can be friends with her I'll find out why Will picked such a wonderful lady...

" Yes all the time...I'm glad I'm on call...I would get dragged away and Will wouldn't notice that I was gone. My patients me everything to me..." I looked out towards the bay. Nick took a sip of his drink.

"I never like being at these things anyway; I would just like a cup of coffee and watch the TV or read a book. Instead I have to put on my "Nick Carter Act" and be all cute and adorable for these pompous asses, no offence to Will..." Although Nick would of loved to slag Will off...He didn't for some reason...he never liked Will but Skye...he liked her...Nick relaxed in his chair and heard me giggle.

"None taken but Carter! Boy! you over exaggerate! Life isn't that hard. Go with it. Don't just say I have to put on an act...be yourself...I don't give anyone off...I'm myself..." I sat back and waited for his response. This girl is amazing...not only doesn't she care what other people think of her but she's completely unaware of the industry. She doesn't take that all seriously...where on earth did Will find her?

"So are we still up for tomorrow night?" Nick brought us back to tomorrow...I hadn't thought about it much...dinner does sound lovely...

"If you're up for it why?" I was beginning to wonder what his intentions were...he seemed such a nice young man...so in touch with himself and the people around him. He seemed very interested in this dinner tonight...then again this could all be innocent...but I wasn't so sure...

" Well the comment that you just came out with I would love to see more where that came from tomorrow..." Nick smiled at me. It really drew me in. Every time he smiled it drew me in that little bit more. It was more mysterious and exciting at the same time. In my daze I managed to speak.

"Of course...You think I wouldn't? We are friends right?" I took a sip of my midouri and lemonade. I stood up and took in the sea air.

"Okay well it's settled then...What time did you want me to pick you up? Around 7pm okay for you?" I nodded

"7pm it is...see you then?" Nick smile emerged and it made me smile too.

"See you then..." I walked back inside. See you indeed I thought...I knew this would be very interesting.....
