Chapter 348 - Dinner With Nick!

"Hey..." Nick said as got up from the chair as Alexi walked towards him.

"Hey, Nick." Alexi replied with a small smile and they both hugged each other. 

"You look great!" Nick said.

"Ahh... Thank you. You are not bad!" Alexi replied as she saw that he wore a tight black shirt and his muscles are popping out of the shirt and paired it with a black jeans. 

"Thank you. How are you doing between, Alexi?" Nick asked.

"I am doing great. How about you, Nick?" Alexi asked.

"I am doing good too!" Alexi answered and Alexi nodded her head.

"Please have a seat." Nick said as she nodded her head and they both sat down on their chairs. 

"So?" Nick asked after he gave the order to the waiter and soon enough he was back with their dinner. 

"So?" Alexi asked as they both started having their dinners. 

"How things are going?" Nick asked.

"Pretty good." Alexi answered.

"How is Martin?" Nick asked.

"He is doing good. Is tired too... Like me!" Alexi answered with a chuckle.

"Yeah... Weddings are tiring." Nick replied and Alexi nodded her head with a smile.

"How are your projects going on?" Alexi asked.

"So good. How's yours?" Nick asked.

"Good. Thinking to take a break from modeling." Alexi answered.

"Ohh... Why? How can this modeling industry can work if the supermodel of the Hollywood is om break?" Nick asked dramatically making Alexi laugh out loud.

"Come on... Hollywood can find many other supermodels who far beautiful than me." Alexi answered.

"I am sure, Hollywood can't." Nick replied making Alexi raise her eyebrows.

"Why do you think like that? Many more beautiful girls are beautiful than me... And struggling to get a base in this Hollywood. It's really so hard to get a chance in this Hollywood but if you try harder you can get it anyway!" Alexi said and Nick nodded his head in yes.

"Yes... They can! But... No girl is beautiful in this Hollywood more than you and you deserve this position more than anyone. And so, no one is better than you in this Hollywood." Nick replied making Alexi chuckle.

"So wrong, Nick... There are many more deserving people are there here more than me... But it just the chance... It just so hard to get. And if you are talking about the beauty... Then, I would say that beauty is everything for Hollywood but at the same time... The inner beauty is good for yourself. Many lose that inner beauty as soon as they step into Hollywood. It just happens as soon as you start growing. You can't change it. Your attitude will change and your behavior too... That is what this Hollywood does to people but whoever stands for themselves with their inner beauty... They will stand out forever." Alexi said and Nick just kept staring at her with a smile on his face. 

"Nick... Nick... Where were you lost?" Alexi asked and Nick looked at her. 

"In your beauty... In your inner beauty." Nick answered making Alexi frown.

"Huh?" Alexi asked.

"You have a beautiful heart, Alexi..." Nick answered making Alexi chuckle.

"And how can you say that?" Alexi asked as she raised her eyebrows at him.

"If you don't have such inner beauty then you wouldn't have talked about it in the first place. And more importantly, you wouldn't argue about it if there is no inner beauty in you. You didn't at all changed Alexi Julie... You are the same girl I know for years." Nick answered making Alexi chuckle.

"Is it?" Alexi asked and Nick nodded his head.

"Do you remember the time we first met in the agency Elevator?" Nick asked and Alexi raised her eyebrows.

"You don't remember I guess... You were already a supermodel at that Time... It was 3 years ago I guess... I came to our agency to meet with our CEO and was so nervous to have a chat with him. You walked inside the elevator with me at the same time. You asked me, if I am a new model here? And I nodded my head in nervous and scared at the same time by looking at the supermodel in front of me... But you laughed and said... Don't be scared. I will not eat you. I am a human too. Which made me laugh and you made me calm down at that moment. You told me good luck with my career and then walked out of the elevator. It just like a dream for me. It's still so clear in my eyes." Nick said with his eyes shining and Alexi blinked her eyes listening to him. 

"It's unbelievable, right? I know it is... But it's true..." Nick said making Alexi laugh out loud.

"Why are you laughing?" Nick asked raising his eyebrows and Alexi shook her head.

"Not the story is unbelievable... But you. You are unbelievable, Nick." Alexi answered as she laughed out loud making Nick frown.

"Huh? Why me?" Nick asked but Alexi didn't stop laughing which made Nick to just stare at her with a smile on his face. Not caring about the world, he is just lost in her beautiful smile. That doesn't at all exist in anyone's girls. But hers. No Hollywood supermodel will dare to laugh out loud like Alexi keeping her cuteness away... But he found Alexi different. He saw her laughing out loud with her whole heart which made him smile from his heart genuinely. He only wanted her to laugh out more because it so beautiful while she laughs out loud like she doesn't at all care about the world. She is just lost in her whole world while she laughs out loud and it's like a music to his ears. He never wants her to stop laughing. And which only made him smile bigger at her seeing her laugh.

"What are you looking at?" Alexi asked as she controlled her laugh.

"You!" Nick answered making Alexi raise her eyebrows at him.

"I mean... Umm... You were laughing for nothing and I am just confused sitting here not knowing why are you just laughing out so loud? Did I joke by the way?" Nick asked making Alexi laugh again. She shook her head in no as she laughed and Nick just kept staring at her again. 

The way he looks at her says it all that he is going to fall for her but he was not at all sure about his feelings yet. He wants to try something risky with her but again, he doesn't know where might it stop them... Heck, he was not even sure that Alexi will even think about it. He is still not even sure about if she thinks this dinner is a date or else... Only normal dinner... He wants to know about it and He is sure that Alexi is in love with Martin. Alexi stopped laughing and looked at him.

"No... You didn't at all joke... It just you are unbelievable that you still remember that story that happens 3 years back. Seriously, Nick?" Alexi asked as she again laughed.

"Well... It's not a big thing for you... But it's for me." Nick answered making Alexi raise her eyebrows at him.

"A guy... With a million dreams in his heart took a step to become a model which is no guarantee that he will become a top model today... But still, he still tried to give it a try and soon enough, he got success. He was shocked to get the fame so suddenly but he didn't look back and just walked ahead which just made him get more success and now, he is well settled in the Hollywood. If you did ask me that I will a top model of the Hollywood a 3 years back, then I would laugh at you as you did right now... But... This is the truth. I became a top model. I would never expect... And then, at that time, how did you expect me to react that I met a supermodel when I am nothing and she was so kind to me." Nick said making Alexi smile at her. 

"It was just like a dream... The dream I would never dream of... I used to get so scared even to think of stepping into this Hollywood because I don't know how people gonna be around me and treat a guy who has no background..." Nick said as he took a deep breath and Alexi just kept smiling at him.

"The things are hard to explain still... I don't know to whom I should share all these and should feel happy about the way I came along. These 3 years were just like the best dream ever I dream of... With just smiles. Yes, there were so many hard struggles too... But still, I don't want to believe that I came this far. If this a dream then I don't want to wake up from this beautiful dream and I don't want to lose anything in my life." Nick said as he looked into Alexi's eyes.
