"What’s wrong sweetie," Rebecca laughed sarcastically, "to much of a chicken to fight for your man?" Amanda turned towards her "I don’t have to fight for him, he’s already mine," she said simply and turned away. Rebecca gave an angry cry and pushed Amanda hard from the back. The force sent Amanda flying into the deep end of the pool. Amanda shrieked as she hit the water. Just then Nick came bonding down the steps two at a time, with the other guys behind him. "Amanda," he cried as he dove into the pool fully clothed. She was clinging to the edge, her face flushed with anger. He swam up next to her, "are you okay?" "I’m fine, but someone’s about to become dogfood." "No," he said quietly, "let it go, besides she’s already getting it." Amanda turned and saw Jane Carter reading Rebecca the riot act. "Don’t worry, my mom’s got plenty of spunk."

Nick climbed out of the pool, and pulled Amanda out. "Come inside I’ll get you some dry clothes." She followed him inside and upstairs to his bedroom. He had her sit down on a chair and then disappeared for a minute, when he came back he had a pair of girls jeans shorts. "These are BJ’s , she said they were probably the right size. " Then he pulled one of his shirts out of the drawer and handed it to her. She thanked and quickly kissed him on the cheek and ran into the bathroom to change. When she came out he was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing jeans, but no shirt, drying his hair with a towel. He glanced up at her in his oversized T-shirt, "looking good, I’ll have you wear my clothes more often." She flushed and sat down next to his feet on the floor. "Nick, who was that girl, anyway?"

"Rebecca Stanford, trouble-maker extraordinar. She’s BJ’s friend, sort of. BJ doesn’t like her, but has no clue how to get rid of her. One day she was just totally bugging the hell out of BJ, so I offered to help. I took Rebecca to dinner, and it was a disaster, she was nasty to everyone, the waiter, the driver, even me. Then on the way home she tried to put the moves on me. I mean she was sitting on my lap, stroking my face, playing with my hair. So when I turned down her advances she got pissed. I mean she just went nuts, swearing, and yelling. Now she’s going around telling everyone we had this fling, and she dumped me," he explained. "Wow," she said "she a real bit.." she was cut off by his lips being pressed gently to hers, "let’s not talk about her," he whispered. He pulled Amanda into his lap and continued to kiss her, neither one heard the knocking on his bedroom door, and neither one heard when it was pushed open.
