Demi

"Demi can you please focus?"

I snapped my head up from my phone, "I am!"

Holly sighed, "Don't give me that. I saw the photoshoot that Nicko just did."

I bit my lip and smiled, "He's so hot." '

She pinched the bridge of her nose, "We need to decide songs for the new album. I'll give you options and you tell me which ones you like. Remember, it doesn't have to reflect how you feel now. Your fans want to know how you felt in the past year."

I rolled my eyes, "So miserably depressed but trying to a put on a happy face and lie about my feelings"

She smiled sarcastically, "Exactly!"

I leaned back in the chair, "Okay give me options."

"Last love song, or leaving you."

I bit my lip, "Last love song."

"Till the Casket Drops or You and Me?"

"Both."

"Habits or Borderline?"

"Both."

Holly put the pad of paper down, "You can't say both to everything."

I shrugged, "They're all good songs that represent how I feel."

"I choose you or Should've been us."

I sighed, "Both."

"Elastic Heart or Big Girls Cry?"

"Both."

"Stay or California King Bed?"

"Both..."

She gave me a look, "The label said only 15 songs so you have four more."

"Okay."

"All I ever do or Said too much."

"Both."

"Demi!"

"What?!" I defended, "I want all of these on the album and if it fills up then fine!"

She huffed and went back to the list, "Loud or Get Away?"

I smirked, "Both."

"Fine, whatever. I'll send this to Phil. And Labrinth wants you to do a duet with him he's sending over the duet now so I'll bring that up too."

"Great, I'll listen to it tonight." She walked out of the room and I took out my phone, calling Nicko immediately.

"Hey babe." He answered.

"Hey, just had a break at the studio and wanted to hear your voice."

He laughed, one of my favorite sounds in the world, "Is that so? Is it up to your expectations?"

I smiled, "It is... I miss you."

"I miss you too Dems, it's weird being away from you for so long."

I bit my lip, "I picked the songs for the album."

"Really?!" He exclaimed, "I didn't know you had written enough for a full album."

I shrugged, "I wrote about you before the break up, I wrote about missing you, and loving you. I wrote about losing you and how I felt when it happened. I don't know I just wrote so much that eventually just recently they all started to become actual songs."

"That's great Dems, when can I hear it?"

I shrugged, "I kind of wanted to go over the song list with you... because this album is going to be very public and a lot of people are going to be asking questions and every thing. They're going to be asking you questions."

Nicko chuckled, "I'm sure I can handle it. You didn't write anything too bad right?"

I smiled to myself, "Not really, just a couple lines here and there you'll get some flack for."

"Well it's my fault you wrote them, so I've got to face the consequences."

Holly walked into the room and I sat up, "I've got to go Nik, let me know when you can get down here. I love you."

"Love you too Dems."

I hung up and smiled at Holly, "Do you have the song?"

She nodded and plugged her phone into the speakers, "He said he's open to changes if you want it, but it's going to be a single so that means promo, videos, performances. The whole nine-yards."

I nodded, "Let me hear it."

It was a beautiful song, all about a couple trying to get the other to let them into their heart. It reminded me a lot of Nicko and I, so by the end I was nearly crying.

"It's absolutely gorgeous, I definitely want to do it."

Holly raised an eyebrow, "You sure you want to jump in so soon? I mean it's a great song, but still it means a lot of work, a lot of studio time and a lot of appearances."

I sighed, "Tell him I'll think about it and give him an answer tomorrow night. I'll talk to Nicko when I get home."

She smiled, "Great, and Phil agrees with your setlist, so does the rest of the executives. Now I need a name and some single options."

I blinked, "Already? Were you not just telling me to not rush into things?"

Holly sighed, "It's just... Labrinth has a reputation of being a very hands on artist. Especially when he's performing. There will be rumors, lot's of them. I just want to make sure you and Nicko, as a couple who just got back together, are strong enough for this."

I closed my eyes, "Nicko would kill him if he tried anything."

"That's my point."

I rubbed my face, "Like I said, I'll talk to Nicko about everything. He always has good ideas for albums and I'll play him songs to see which one he likes for singles and then I'll talk to him about the duet."

She smiled, "Excellent."

That night, after Nicko and I had put Mia to bed and were getting ready ourselves, I decided to finally bring up the album. Walking up to him, I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his shoulder.

"What's up?" He said, turning around in my arms.

"I just wanted to talk to you about some things before we go to bed, is that okay?"

Nicko chuckled and pecked my lips, "That's fine babe, is it anything serious?"

"Nope. Just album stuff." I said reassuringly, then leaned up to kiss him, letting my lips linger against his for a couple more seconds, enjoying the feeling of his lips on mine. "I love you."

He kissed my nose, "I love you too."

Slowly, I let go of him and walked backwards to the door, "Don't take too long."

Nicko took about thirty more seconds before he walked out and jumped onto the bed, playfully kissing on my neck as I laughed, "Okay what did you want to talk about?"

I took a deep breath, "I need to pick an album name and the first single and Labrinth wants to do a duet with me."

He raised an eyebrow, "And so you wanted to talk to me...why?"

I sighed, "Labrinth has a bit of a reputation for being handsy when he's recording and performing."

Instantly, Nicko tensed, "Oh."

I smiled timidly, "But you don't need to worry. I'm just saying there are going to be rumors if I do it."

He looked puzzled, "You didn't say yes yet? Why?"

I rubbed his chest, "I didn't want to make a decision that would effect you, without you."

"Oh... I mean it's up to you. I support you in every thing you know that. I know you'd never do anything with him or anyone else."

"You're right, I wouldn't. But that's easy for you to say to yourself now. But when rumors and tabloids are coming out saying I'm cheating on you, it's going to be a hell of a lot harder for you." I murmured, stroking his cheek, "I would never, ever, in a million years, cheat on you. But you need to promise me that if I do this, you will believe me when I say I didn't do anything."

Nicko swallowed hard and nodded, "I believe you. I believe that you will not do anything."

I smiled, "And if he does do something, then I'll tell you right away. But you can't kill him or punch him. Okay?"

He rolled his eyes, "Okay."

I grinned, then rolled over so I was laying on his chest, "There's another thing." My leg was dangerously closer to his crotch and I shifted it closer, rubbing my thigh against his manhood.

"And what might that be?" His voice was low and husky as his arms came around me.

"I saw the photoshoot that you did..."

He chuckled lightly, "I thought you might've liked it."

I bit my lip as our mouths got closer together, "I was actually quite protective. I'm the only one who's allowed to see you in your underwear."

Nicko nodded and leaned his forehead against mine, "I'll keep that in mind."

I smirked, gripping the nape of his neck, "Don't worry, I'll remind you."
