Pic of Nick (Max Irons) ----->

[Phoenix's POV] Night time baby  ^_-

Thank goodness Nick has left for rugby practice so I can get myself all sexy'd up for the Part-taayyy! Damn I'm starting to miss the rodeo and going to Rascal Flatts' concerts. I can't decide what to wear. Grr. I really like this cashmere sweater with my blazer ,but I also fond over my leather jacket with a plain  tee. If only I looked as good as Francisco Lachowski. 

Forget the other outfits, I'm going with a black leather jacket with a plain white tee and a pair of jeans. "Life is a highway! I wanna ride it all night long! If you're going my way, I wanna drive it all night long." This so looks good on me from this view.

Oooh... He's back.  I hope he didn't hear me singing because that will be so embarrassing. "Hey Phoenix. How's you?”, Nick says. "Pretty good. I'm stoked about the party.", I say. He looks so tense, lemme give him a massage. Hehe... never mind, he probably wouldn't be into that. 

"So, yeah. I'm gonna go ahead and de-funk" ,he says. (Phoenix feels confused) "Alright. See you after." I can't wait to see him in a towel again. 

I definitely miss all those wild parties I had back in Texas. My friends and I would usually hang out at The Pink Dolphin and 3rd Coast Downtown. Those were some crazy nights.

Haha I miss my best friend Hannah, most of all. We were always texting, skyping, talking on the phone, shopping, going to the movies, etc. She was the first person I shared a kiss with.  She helped me realize I was gay; I was 13 then. I felt bad after she told me she had a bit of a crush on me. I did not tell her I liked guys until a month before my birthday. She was pretty hurt, but there was nothing I could do to change which gender I prefer. She got over it about a week later. Things got back to normal after that. I never slept with her or anyone else; not a girl or guy. I’m a virgin and proud of it. My cousin Jason thinks I'm totally crazy because I haven't been with anyone. Jason is a bit of a hoe, so you can understand why he thinks I'm insane.

End of memory...

I need to call Hannah before she gets mad at me...

"Can you come in here for a second?!", Nick shouted.

"Sure! Coming!", I yelled back.

"What do you need?", I asked once I reached for the bathroom's door.

"Can you get me a pair of pants? I left them on the bed," Nick shouted. 

"Sure." 

Headed over to Nick's bed.

"There are no pants here! Just a pair of boxer shorts!"

"Yes, bring me those!" Nick yelled.

I walk back to the bathroom a bit confused. I thought he wanted pants. I guess... I walked in the boxers and left them near his towel. "Here are your boxers. I'm going to finish getting dressed." 

"Alright mate," Nick said.

I hurried out of the bathroom quickly. I'm not prepared to see Nick naked. He's so hot! Ugh... Too bad I'm too chicken to tell him that. 

[Nick's POV]

Oh my God! Phoenix was in here! I had the urge to grab him and bring him in here with me. I want to already kiss him and we barely even know each other. Too bad he's not gay. I think he would hate me if I even tried hugging me. I know I shouldn't care if he hates me, but I can't help myself. He is just so fit. I can't believe that pants are actually underwear. Americans are so weird. Well, I had never met an American before, but I do watch TV you know. They talk funny and say OMG! a lot. So strange... I do find Phoenix quite interesting. I want to get to know him better. Know what his favorite food is and what his favorite color is. I know he will never like me as more than a friend, but we can still be friends right?

[Back to Phoenix's POV]

Well... I'm finally dressed. Have to look really hot. There will probably be really hot guys at the party, hopefully gay ones. Dang! He is taking forever in there! I'm ready to head out and party! I need to get my dancing on and get a drink or two, or three. Haha I'm not an alcoholic or anything of the sort. Just need a drink to loosen up a bit. It's my first party in the UK and I have to make an excellent impression. I wish Hannah was here to help me get ready. She always helped me pick out the right outfit and made sure my hair was perfect. Now I have to do everything by my lonesome and it kind of sucks. But whatever. I'm ready to have lots of fun and dance until my feet are aching. Party Animal full of Fabulosity! Woo!!! (Laughs Hysterically)

"What's so funny?" Nick asks with a smirk.

"Oh, nothing. Just thought about a memory from Texas." (smiles)

"What were you thinking about?" Nick asks.

"I just thought about my partying days with Hannah!"

"Who's Hannah?" Nick asks with a curious look on his face.

Okay...

"Hannah is my best friend. Need to call her. Excuse me." (Reaches for his cell phone.)

As Nick gets ready, I called Hannah. When she answers she starts screaming!

"Ah!" I yell back. "Shut up hoe! You're going to making me deaf!" I can't help but laugh at Hannah's insanity. 

She laughs hysterically. After she calms down, she tells me how much she misses me and then asks me like a trillion questions. She wants to know if I'm eating right and if I have made any friends yet. Sometimes she is worse than my mother. Geesh! She can't help but worry about me. My sweet and cute as a button- Hannah Jackson. After I answered most of her questions, we say our goodbyes and she made me promise to call her when I have some free time. Aww.. Hannah; she will never change.

"Are you ready mate. Don't want to get there too late. Want to get there before people are completely bladdered," Nick says with a laugh.

He notices my confused face and says that it means "drunk". Hmm... I'm going to remember that term for future reference.

Nick and Phoenix at the party...

[Phoenix's POV]

We're at one of Nick's friend's house. I think his name is Kaj. He's the host; nowhere to be found. How rude. Nick seems pretty excited to be here so I should be too. I am a bit nervous. I don't know how tolerant people are here with gays and I don't know anyone. Grr... maybe I shouldn't have come. No, wait. I'm Phoenix and I love to party. I'm going to have a great night if it's the last thing I do.

"Hey, Nick! Nice to see you mate. Who's your friend?" I guess this dude is Kaj. He's cute; not as good- looking as Nick, but I wouldn't mind kissing him!

"Hello Kaj. This is my roommate, Phoenix. He's American." (Nick says with a smile)

"Nice to meet you. I hope you are enjoying the party. He really likes to dance ,but he's just a bit lazy. Force him to dance. He's great." Kaj says it with a laugh and heads upstairs. 

He seems like a great guy. Think he was a bit buzzed. He's funny though. Hope we hang out with him sometime. 

"Hey. You want to dance?" I say with a laugh.

"I think I'll pass. I'm not a fan of dancing in public. Do you want a drink?" Nick asks.

"Sure. I'm kind of thirsty."

As I drank my beer, I decided that I would force Nick to dance. What do I have to loose. I grab Nick and drag him to the dance floor. At first, he was a bit resistant, but I wasn't going to change my mind. We started dancing slowly at first, moving side to side. Then, a bit crazy. I guess it's the alcohol. A song by Rita Ora is on. I'm glad I love British artists. They're the best. After dancing during a few songs, we headed towards Kaj's kitchen and got a couple of beers. 

[Nick's POV]

"Are you enjoying the party?"

"Yeah. It's great. Kept me from thinking about Galveston, my parents, Hannah or my cousin Jason." Phoenix seems a bit sad for a second but then plasters a huge smile on his face.

Poor lad. Probably he's a bit homesick. Wish I could make him forget for a bit more. 

"Do you want a tour of the house. I know it like the back of my hand."

"Sure, but show me where the bathroom is first," Phoenix says with a small smile.

"Of course mate. No problem. Need to use it myself."

We head toward the loo. After we both use the toilet, I give him a tour of the house. I  showed him Kaj's dad's study, the game room, the bathrooms, the pool house, and so on. Once we got upstairs, I felt a knot in my throat. To think that I would be in a bedroom alone with Phoenix. He makes me really nervous. I can't help it. Last place I take him to see is Kaj's bedroom.

"What do you think of the house? It's beautiful right?"

"Yeah. This is a gorgeous house. I can definitely see the Indian architecture." It is nice to see Phoenix smile. I'll never get tired of looking at his smile.

"Have you visited India before?

"I have visited twice. It is a really beautiful country, full of culture and great food," Phoenix says.

"I love Indian food. I think it's delicious. Kaj's mum is a great cook. Maybe you'll get to try her food sometime."

"Yeah that would be great. Indian food is my favorite," he says.

Now that we're alone and away from everyone, I plan to get to know him a bit.

"Do you miss your mum, family and friends?"

"Yeah. It helps to see rain here in the UK. I'm used to seeing rain in Galveston," he says.

"How is Galveston?"

"Galveston's great. Nice beach, large waves, nice weather. I love the seafood there," he says.

"Oh so you like seafood. You should try fish and chips. You will love it. Its fried fish and fries. I know a great place called "Barney's Sea of Friends". The name's kind of silly but they do have delicious food. I can take you there sometime if you would like."

He nods and we continue holding a conversation for what feels like hours. When I check the time on my phone, it's already 1 a.m. Bloody hell! I forgot I have to wake up early to get my teeth cleaned. I hate visiting the dentist. It's horrid and full of strange devices. I think its rubbish to even have to go. My mum would kill me if I didn't go since she was the one to make the appointment. I could go to the dentist on campus but she says that he seem unfit to clean the teeth of someone like me. She can be such a pain at times but I do appreciate her concern. 

I would go to the school's dentist but mummy is a bit of a snob and so is father. They think that our family is too good for everyone else since father is a Lord in Parliament and the Queen of England is his aunt. She is a nice woman but a bit too bossy at times. She forgets I'm her nephew and not one of her royal subjects. She is my father's aunt and he seems to remind me every day so that I won't forget. This is why I agreed to go to boarding school when I turned 12 years old. I found that I would be happier away from their snobbish ways. 

My brother William and my sister Emma are nothing like them. They are laid back and do not care about titles or that our aunt is the Queen. Will is 19 and a freshman at Oxford University and Emma is 13 years old and in ninth grade. She attends a private school back home in Manchester. I miss them quite a bit. I think I will call them tomorrow.

End of family memory...

My friend Melody drove us home because we were nearly drunk. She went back to the party with her boyfriend Fred. Once we got back to our dorm, we headed to bed and fell asleep right after.
