When Nick Lachey Found The One


	Nick Lachey would never be caught at a Starbucks on open mic
night. Hell, he didn't need to, for he was a star already with a record
label living the high life. He had stopped in for a cup of coffee and was
blind sided by the event. He tried to keep a low profile for fear of being
recognized at the event and being splashed on the tabloids. He could hear a
man being introduced behind him but he did not pay much attention he only
wanted his coffee and to leave. He did not pay much attention ot the music
leaving the speakers as he handed the man behind the counter his cash, but
when the mans voice left his body Nick could do nothing but listen. He had
a calm vibe to him as he stood at the microphone hesitantly. He was very
dressed down in a gray hoodie, blue jeans, and white reebok shoes. His
voice was very calm and powerful as he did not push it to far for his vocal
range.

	"Because the way we kiss is better then any drug, because when im
with you I believe in love." He was smooth and delightful as he was very
humble. He smiled to the man playing guitar and laughed slightly as he let
his voice curl into his listeners ears. "Cause you take chances most people
will never take, You go out on a limb and your not afraid to break. And it
gives me faith. I thought i'd never find someone as crazy as myself, no
matter what I've done you always come when i cry for help." He stood on his
toes slightly as he pushed out the last note with strength. Nick was in a
daze as he watched the man belt out his thoughts that formed to words. "
That's why I love you.... and that's why I love you. Theirs no one in this
world, anything like you." Nick felt that the man was singing his mind,
that he knew exactly what he was thinking at that moment. "Cause the times
i hurt you always understand, because you cure me with the sweet touch of
your hand. Cause your not afraid to come off like a fool. Without trying
baby you'da find the truth. It makes me laugh. I thought id never find
someone who can see through my eyes You always know when im telling the
truth and when im telling lies." He always seemed to have a bit of trouble
with the last note by his actions whether it be tapping of his foot or
tapping his chest, his voice had no signs of any trouble though. He ran
through the bridge with just as much ease as before and had no trouble into
the next chorus. The environment was very pleasant that night as all the
songs happened to be very mellow and his was no different. "That's why I
love you. That's why I love you. Theirs no one in the world, anything like
you. That's why I love you. That's why I love you. There's no one in this
world, anything like you. That's why i love you." He smiled as the band
played for a few seconds longer then stopped slowly.

	 The crowd cheered and whistled at his performance as he shyly
walked off the stage in joy. "Ok guys if you like it put some money in the
bucket if not, don't." A mellow black man said as he stood where the man
once did. Nick was in speechless as he clapped his hands loudly. He had not
caught the mans name and was angry at himself for it. "Hes great ain't he?"
Another man asked behind the counter as he handed him his cup of
coffee. "What's his name?" Nick asked while still watching the man talk to
a few people around him. "John.... John Tanner." The guy said as he walked
away from Nick and his thoughts. Nick stuck around that night trying to
build up his courage to talk ot the man. He watched him count the money he
made, laugh and joke with he other singers, or just curl up in one of the
big chairs and watch someone else. Nick liked his calm exterior and wanted
to help him. He watched as he slowly started to walk out of the starbucks
with a guitar slung over his shoulder and sleep written on his face. Nick
decided it was now or never. He had to talk to this man or he would have no
purpose in life.

	"Um John?" Nick asked as they man opened the starbucks door. He
turned around in shock as he had not expected anyone. "Yes?" he asked as he
looked up at Nick. He was suddenly in surprise as he saw who it was
standing in front of him. Nick Lachey was actually talking to him, he had
to keep it cool though, he was not 15 anymore. "I think you have a great
voice, the song was amazing too." Nick was shy with his approach and he
rubbed his shoe lightly on the ground as he kept eye contact with the young
boy. "Thanks!" John smiled as he knew a singing compliment from anyone was
great but from Nick Lachey was astonishing. John just smiled his shy side
was overcoming him. "I wonder if you would let me help you...." Nick choked
up at this point. He knew some artist were defense about record
labels. "With what?" John questioned with confusion. " Well a record deal."

	That night seemed to go by in a whirlwind. John was in shock as he
heard Nick tell him what they could do together, the dreams Nick had for
him were amazing. He told him of Jive records and the money he could
earn. John was very hesitant at first though, he did not want to be thrown
into some big label, he wanted to write music and just be happy. See his
album in stores and someone buy it, be a role model in some sort. John was
not going to tell Nick that though, he was lucky someone had taken an
interest and he didn't want that taken away from him. "So tomorrow well go
to the Jive offices?" Nick asked with a glowing face. His voice was chipper
and cheerful John nodded smiling. "all right ill meet ya here at 9
tomorrow?" Nick asked finishing up their long conversation. This was the
boy who he was so nervous to talk to, to just meet. He was very confident
when singing and was very laid back but when he sat across from him he was
uneasy and very unconfident. He dodged every compliment Nick had for him
and brought himself down every once and a while. He nodded as he stood and
grabbed his guitar once again. "I'll see ya tomorrow then.." he said shyly
as he turned and left the coffee house for good that night. Nick wished he
hadn't left though. It was a new feeling for him, love at first sight...
but for men? 'No im not gay...' Nick washed away his thought with another
sip of his coffee and he two left to step into the peaceful night.

	Morning was not very easy for Nick as he had woken up several times
in the past night. Nightmares shook his mind set many times as he was not
able to stay sleep longer then two hours at a time. He also had to be up
early to take his new companion to the Jive Offices in Los Angeles. He did
not favor the trip but he felt the man and his talent were worth it. The
light was still to bright for his blue eyes as he drove down a small street
in a deep red BMW though. It wasn't until later that day in a small studio
at Jive offices that he remembered why he had taken the effort. It was when
a cd played of Johns song at the starbucks on 6th street. Straight faced
executives, men and a few woman, sat around a table with
concentration. They showed not an ounce of emotion as the sound of a mans
voice entered their ears with ease. Once the song ended they did no
different, they didn't even speak. The silence was crippling to two men who
did not really belong in the room, or at the offices at all. "Well?" He did
not like the silence and it was killing his dreams for his new found friend
slowly. Nick Lachey was never good with these people and today was no
different. "What do you want to do with an album?" Nick was ignored as the
president directed his attention to John.
