Chapter 22
~*~Later that night~*~
"So, what do you want to do tomorrow?' Nick asked as he sat
by the fire. Stacey took her head off his chest. (Humour me with
the fire in Florida thing okay?)
"I dunno how about you? Lets just hang out, by the pool, and do stuff....okay?"
Nick laughed. "now your saying 'and stuff'.....I have a better idea though, why don't we take my boat out for the day, and Sun tan.......topless???"he said grinning slyly.
She snorted. "thats no fair! you always tan topless, cause your a guy. Aren't you even a little curious about what 'and stuff' is?"
He shook his head. "Come on! I haven't been out in the boat for 5 months. PLEASE????"
Stacey sighed. "Okay, but don't say I never did anything for you."
Nick nodded, and pushed her head back down on his chest. "I could stay like this forever...."
She yawned, and stood up. "Not me. I'm going to bed. Where are my sleeping arrangments?"
Nick grinned slyly. "Well, my bed is big enough for 2 people...but I geuss you could stay in BJ's room if you feel uncomfortable."
She snorted. "Its not that I'de be uncomfortable, but I like to SLEEP, and I'm a big bitch, when I don't get enough sleep."
Nick looked shocked. "If this is what your like, when you do have sleep, I don't wanna see you when your tired!"
He dodged a pillow.
"I'll see you in the morning" she grumbled, as she walked to the staircase.
Nick
flopped back down.
I have a girlfriend, he thought, rubbing his hands to gether. I am the luckiest guy in the world.
~*~Next morning~*~
"NICK GET UP!!!!! I WANNA GO BEFORE IT GETS
DARK!!!!!!!" Stacey screamed, as she ran down the stairs.
Searching the kitchen and coming up empty handed, she ran to the living room. He was curled up on the floor, where she'd left him. Creeping up behind him, she starred at him. He looks so sweet, so innocen-...
"AHHHH!!!!!!!!" she screamed, as his wrist, shot out, and grabbed her ankle. Falling hard on her butt, she tried to scream again, but Nick was already, kissing her full on the lips, and tickiling her.
Hitting him playfully on the chest, she looked him over. He had changed, took a shower.
Grabbing
her hand, he dragged her out of the house. Throwing her into the
boat, he started the motor, and they were off.
~*~Tampa Airport~*~
"Oh God, this sucks" the girl moaned, as she struggled
with her luggage. She waddled her way out, to the middle off the
terminal, and stopped.
Just then a cute and young pilot, rushed up to her. "Here! let me help you!" he said, grabbing her luggage.
She smiled her thanks. Being pregnant has its advantages. She thought grinning, and waddeling out into the hot Florida breeze.
Thanking the pilot, she threw her bags into a cab and setteled herself in the backseat.
"Florida State" she said, as she sank back into the seat.
I shouldn't be here......why I am here? she wondered, biting her lips, as the tears sprang to her eyes. Because, he desrves to know.....they ALL do.
~*~Later That night~*~
"Nick, its fucking raining! I wanna go back!" Stacey
whined, as she watched the clouds roll over head.
Nick glared at her. "Don't you think I see that? I'm trying. Its hard to go against the current."
She slumped down in her seat and pulled her legs up to hert chest. The rain began to fall, hard and fast, and it was cold. her hair was soaked, and her teeth began to chatter.
2 hours later, they finally got to his dock. Finally taking his hands off the wheel, he turned around to see his girlfriend, and she looked blue.
"Stacey!" he gasped, horrified.
Looking up slowly, she whimpered. "Please, take me inside, I'm soooooooo cold"
Throwing her over his shoulder, he ran for the house. Slamming the door behind him, he ran upstairs, and threw her down on the bed.
Running to the bathroom, he turned on the shower full blast on hot. returning to the bedroom he took off her shoes, and brought her back into the bathroom, he shoved her into the shower, clothes and all.
Shrieking, she covered her face. "Nick! It's too hot!"
Groaning and biting his lip, he turned it down, and left to go change into some dry clothes. As he put clean boxers, and an undershirt on, he peeked intot the bathroom, and notyiced she had thrown her clothes, out of the shower.
What the hell am I doing out here, when my girlfriend is in there, in my shower.......... Swallowing hard, he tiptoed to the bathroom, and shut the door softly.
~*~Florida State University~*~
Taking a deep breath, the girl took a deep breath. Checking the
slip of paper, she mathced up the dorm numbers. # 456. This was
it. Taking another deep breath, she straightened her dress, and
knocked.
"GO JERRY! GO JERRY! GO JERRY! GO!!!" Katie, shrieked,
as she, dunked her hand into the popcorn bowl.
I'm such a loser, she realized, during commercial break. stacey's out with her perfect boyfriend, and stuck here all by myself.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Groaning, Katie stood, up, and walked to the door. Keeping her eyes trained on the T.V. she opened the door. Finally peeling her eyes off the TV, her eyes focused on a pretty young girl....no,make that a pretty PREGNANT girl.
Looking her up and down, she asked. "can I help you?"
The girl shifted feet uncomfortably. "Yes....is um.......Stacey here?"
Katie smiled. "Uh, no, she's at her boyfirends for the weekend, Did you need something important?"
The girl squeezed her eyes shut. "Yeah." she whispered. "I need my best friend back."
Katie looked at her shocked. "Are you....Sam? THE Sam? OMIGOD!!! Get in here!"
~*~Back At the Carter house~*~
Creeping silently acroos the slippery linolium floor, Nick
peered through the curtain. her back was to him, so he could
check out her hiney. Giggeling, he slipped out of his boxers, and
into the shower................
Humming softly, she let the hot water blast on her face. Feeling
two hands wrap around her waist, she opened her eyes slowly, and
smiled. Stepping back into his waiting embrace, she sighed.
Maybe
its the weather she thought, as she kissed him. But
maybe........it was love...........................
