***At Iceland***
"Brian are you ok??" Nina said quickly skating back to where Brian had fallen.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Brian said. He had hurt his pride more than his butt. He attempted to stand up but failed. Nina tried not to laugh at him but couldn't help herself. He looked cute but funny at the same time. He was wearing black jeans and a sweater that had Stars and Stripes made to resemble the American flag.
"You think this is funny?" Brian said looking kind of disappointed.
"No, I am sorry." She said skating over to him. She took his arm helping him to his feet. "This time I'll stay with you." Nina promised regretting letting him fall in the first place. But she didn't know that he couldn't skate. She looked at Brian who was looking at his feet. He was obviously trying to make sure he didn't fall again. "Ok you ready Bri?" Nina said not wanting to make him fall again.
"Yep, you gotta stay with me this time right?" Brian said in a pleading voice.
"Yup, I ain't gonna leave you again! I don't want you to fall and bruise your lil butt or anything…not that I've been looking or anything…umm I didn't mean that…I'll shut up now!" she said feeling stupid for what she had just said!
But Brian just smiled and said, "I know you're just trying to be nice."
Suddenly a girl came up behind Brian and said "Hey, Bri! What's up? By the way you have a bunch of white stuff on your butt."
"Oh hey, Claire, haven't seen you since…. Damn umm well it's been a hella long time cuz I don't remember anymore!"
"I do, I saw you last in April of 93 your senior year. I always wished you hadn't left! I missed you a lot." Claire said grabbing Brian's free hand. Brian wasn't sure what to do. He liked Nina a lot…but Him and Claire had history together. But maybe that was all it was…History. He was really confused and stuck literally between two girls that he liked since he couldn't skate that well.
"Who is that?" Nina said and suddenly Brian turned and looked at her…he looked as if he were surprised to see her. He stared at her for a second…she was wearing a navy blue skirt and a navy blue sweater.
Then remembering he had invited her, he said "This is Claire, I knew her in school. I've known her since we were kids."
"We used to go out." Claire added quickly. She was trying to rub it in Nina's face and Nina picked up on this immediately but obviously Brian didn't. She was tempted to say she was going out with Brian now…but she wasn't sure what Brian would think of that, so she didn't say anything. "So, Brian What have you been up to lately?" Claire said snuggling right up next to him. He looked like he was enjoying himself too. Nina couldn't take this any more. She liked him a lot and seeing him flirt with some blonde bimbo hurt.
"Ok I'm gonna go skate now Brian, You can stay here if you want." Nina said. Then added, "I don't care one way or the other." Sounding bitter and annoyed with him.
"I am coming with you Nina." He replied with his sweet smile and released Claire's hand without hesitation. Nina smiled, she was thinking he was going to leave her and stay with that lil wannabe Barbie! She was glad that he wasn't. "I'll see ya around Claire."
"K, see ya Bri…. Wait I was hoping maybe we could go out sometime?" Claire said positive she'd be able to get a date with him.
Brian glanced at Nina who was looking really annoyed and said "No, I am sorry Claire but I am in a relationship with Mynina Mckenize." Putting his arm around Nina to pull her closer to him.
"Oh. Well if you ever dump her then give me a call." Claire said looking at Nina disapprovingly. Then she leaned over and gave Brian a kiss on the cheek.
"That will not be happening any time soon. I promise you that! I am in a SERIOUS relationship. And anyways I don't like girls who throw themselves at guys…it's a major turn off to me!" He said angry that she would even say something that stupid in front of Nina. And With that Claire huffed off in another direction.
***Natalie And Kevin***
"Really? I didn't know you were from Kentucky! What part?" Kevin said looking at Natalie shocked.
"I was born in Frankfort but I moved to Lexington." Natalie answered taking a sip of her hot cocoa. Kevin couldn't think of anything to say so he just smiled.
"Hey Kev, What you guys doing?" a girl's voice said from behind Natalie.
Natalie turned to see who was behind her and saw Mynina. "Oh Hey Nina!"
"Where's B-Rok at? Thought he was with you." Kevin said a little confused.
"He is, unless he decides to try to be funny. Which he did so I left him on the ice but I am just about to go back and help him. He can't skate at all!" Nina said smiling slyly. "I'd better go get him…I don't want him to get hurt out there." Nina said as she walked back to where she had come from. She got out on the ice and skated off in the direction of where she had left Brian. She found him and he looked like he was doing better but then fell. She rushed over to him and helped him up.
"I thought you were mad at me!" Brian said sounding relieved.
"Do you want me to be, Cuz I guess I could if you wanted me to!" she said jokingly.
"No! I don't! I was just kidding! It was a joke." Brian said apologetically.
"Oh you were joking about me being jealous of Claire?" Nina said trying her hardest to sound mad and not laugh or smile.
"You know I was! You have no reasons to be jealous of her…She is…Disgusting." Brian said thinking all the guys he had seen her throw herself at…even when they were going out and she was still doing the same thing almost 6 years later.
"Disgusting? Then what am I? Nauseating??" She said joking with him.
"Nope you're, Beautiful and wonderful and smart and prefect and sweet…and the list goes on!" he said bending over and kissing her lips softly. She smiled.
"Glad to hear that Mr.Littrell." Nina said still smiling. "Come on let's go talk to Kevin and Natalie."
"Only if you promise not to leave me this time!!! It starts hurting your butt after a while of falling on it!" Brian pouted.
"I won't leave this time! I promise!" she said giving him a kiss on the cheek. Brian smiled and leaned in and gave her a kiss on the lips. "Mmm... We better start skating or we might never get you across the rink." Nina said not really wanting to leave.
"Ok" he said taking her small hand in his. They skated back to the exit and got off the ice. From there they walked over to where Kevin and Natalie were sitting.
"Hey Train! What's up?" Brian said referring to Kevin. Kevin got that nickname from being a little clumsy when he moves. He was always hitting people or things and not noticing. So Train just kind of fit him.
"Hey Brian, I hear you weren't doing so great out there yourself!" Kevin said with a chuckle.
"Oh well, I got me a girl that knows how to skate and is patient enough to help me too." He said with a smile putting his arms around her waist. She smiled and leaned in toward him.
"So Natalie you excited about the concert tonight?" Nina asked wondering if she was the only one that was excited.
"Yeah but I am nervous too." Natalie said genuinely.
Nina looked at Brian whose arms where still tightly wrapped around her and smiled. She looked over at Natalie and said "Hey Natalie, wanna go skate? We can leave the guys here since their skating skills are…" She paused "Well they don't have any! We could go talk about cute guys and other stuff."
"Sure! Sounds cool." Natalie said standing up.
"You're not going to leave me are you??" Brian said in a sad voice. Nina didn't look at him because if she did she knew she wouldn't want to leave him.
"Yep, You can sit with Kevin. I am sure he won't mind!" Nina said still not looking at him.
"But! I don't want you to leave!" Brian said pitifully. But still he was adorable and hard to resist.
"I'll Be back later." She promised. With that she gave him a long kiss. And took off with Natalie.
***On The Ice***
"So Natalie how old are you?" Nina asked curiously.
"I'm 24. And you're 20 right?"
"Yep!" Nina said now thinking about Brian again. "You like Kevin don't ya?"
"Well Yeah I mean he is really sweet and hot and he is the kind of guy I could go for. And I would ask if you like Brian but it's obvious! And you two are so cute together!"
Nina blushed and said, "Yeah Brian is the best! He is just so funny…and the things he does are so adorable! He has a nice body!" she smiled as she thought of that last one.
***Kevin and Brian***
"So are you and Natalie like together Kev? Cuz you ain't been around much lately!" Brian asked curiously.
"I don't know yet. But I have been hanging out with her a lot lately and I like her. She is 24 and from Kentucky. And she is real sweet!" Kevin said thinking of her brought a smile to his face. "What about you and Mynina? You two looked like you were ready to exchange vows already!"
Brian smiled and said "I like her a lot! I wasn't sure if we were together like a couple until today. I was trying to skate and Claire came outta no where and I ended up rejecting her and telling her I was in a serious relationship with Nina."
"Do wish you could take that back? I mean you've always had a huge crush on Claire." Kevin asked trying to figure out how whipped Brian was.
"No, I am glad I said that!" Brian grumbled defensively. "Nina smiled when I said it so I guess she is glad we are together too." Brian smiled again at the thought of Nina. I wonder what Nina is doing right now?? Brian asked himself silently. He really would have preferred trying to skate with Nina instead of sitting and talking to Kevin. Not that he didn't get along with Kevin because he did. Him and Kev were pretty close. It's just the choices were holding Nina real close to him while they were skating or sitting around talking to his cousin. It was obvious why skating sounded better.
