Yesterday was a busy day. Camp in the morning, rehearsals with Josh in the afternoon and rehearsals with Raj at night. It was a good day though...a very good day.

Josh and I were talking. He wanted to know about my intentions if we do an All Star competition next year. Would I choose him? Would I choose Raj? I said, "How do you not know by now that if you're a choice, you are always *the* choice?" He just smiled at me and said, "I guess I do know." I pressed him and he said, "Well, you do wear your heart on your sleeve." I told him that I do not.

So he walked over to me and said something like, "Come on, Nicole. Don't tell me that being close to me doesn't make you feel a certain way." I just looked at him and said, "What way is that?" He pulled me closer and said, "Your knees are a little weak. Your body temperature a little warmer. Your heart is pounding." I put my hand to his chest expecting his heart to be a steady thump but it was pounding too. I looked up at him and said, "What about your heart?" Then he said, "My heart loves you." So sweet. And then he kissed me.

Then I had to rehearse with Raj and I couldn't concentrate at all. I have no idea how I got through it. All I could think about was Josh.
