ignored them.
"Send them home."
Marley nodded and whispered to the security guard in the hallway. Nick leaned over the makeup counter and stared into the mirror.
"Where is she?"
"She already went back to the hotel."
"When?"
"The minute it was over mate."
So she had stayed. She had been there to watch at least. That had to count for something, right?
Marley shifted on his feet uncomfortably.
"So, do you want me to get the girls back?"
"No mate. Let's just call it a night."

Sabrina opened her eyes slowly. It was only 5 am. Why was she up? It must be nerves, she decided. She had to do prep work for Paris. They left in 24 hours. She sat up and screamed.
A strange man was in her room.
No- it wasn't a stranger. It was Nick.
"Jesus!"
"Shhh… do you want the hotel security to show up?
She shook her head vehemently.
"What are you doing here Nick?"
He grinned at her.
"I'm abducting you."
She just stared at him, not sure what to think. He'd broken into her room. Then again, he hadn't actually done anything once he was in there.
"What time is it?"
"It's early. I can never sleep after a show. It's too bad you didn't make your offer last night. I would have taken you up on it."
He smiled at her sensually.
"But I would have ignored your silly rules."
"Nick I'm tired. How did you get in here anyway?"
He lifted an eyebrow.
"A good pirate never tells."
She giggled and clasped her hand over her mouth.
"Pirate?"
He nodded and climbed onto the foot of the bed, fishing around under the sheets for her ankle.
"Arrrrr!"
She kicked at him as he grabbed her feet, tickling them.
"Stop! Eeek! Nick!"
He lifted his hands and she glared at him. He was sitting on her bed, grinning at her roguishly.
"You're very ticklish aren't you? That's a good sign."
"Sign for what?"
He just wiggled his eyebrows at her suggestively. She glared at him.
"It's 'Yar'"
"What?"
She sighed and sat up.
"Pirates say 'yar' and 'ahoy'. Zombies and mummies say 'arrrr.'"
"You're quite the authority on this aren't you?"
"I baby sat in high school."
He grinned at her.
"I wish you would have baby sat me. I was such a bad boy."
She pushed herself out of bed and padded into the bathroom, ignoring him. He was craning his neck to see as she shut the door.
"There's still time!"

Nick waited patiently while Sabrina showered and changed in the bathroom. He had almost hoped she might ask him to join her but no such luck. At least she was going along with his scheme. He ordered up two coffees to go. He'd remembered how she liked it; black,
