(EN: Hey Megs: Does this surprise you any?*giggles*)
"Hey Nick?" Em asked.
"What honey?" He asked as they just lay in his bed . They had both just woken
up. Even though it was already close to noon.
"We need to talk." She whispered as her eyes glossed over a bit.
"OK." He agreed and turned to face her. He soon realized that something in
her was hurting.
"Are you okay?" He asked. She nodded but he was left unconvinced.
"Nick- I am curious as to where this fling is going?" She finally asked.
They were laying down still both facing each other.
"Why? Is it not good enough for you anymore?" He asked with a edge of anger
in his voice. She bit her lip to keep the tears in.
"Nick, some of us aren't as young as you. Some of us need more!” Em tried
explaining.
"By saying some of us, you mean you, and you know what Em, I want MORE too.
Just not with you. So how does it feel now?" He rudely questioned.
She shot him a hurt look before jumping out of the bed in her white tank top in Pooh boxers and running out the door as fast as her little body would take her. She quickly ran to her new home that had just been finished with the new furnishings. She walked into the bare place and collapsed on the floor crying.
Something had gone incredibally wrong. She was no longer satisfied with the sex that she had shared with Nick. It wasn't enough anymore. All the lust and passion last night, had faded into hurt. She could never find it her last three relationships sucked. First, a guy who couldn't keep his thing in his pants, a rapist, and a fling that ended in pain. It all ended in pain. It was never enough. (EN: Forgive the cheesy pun.)
Nick got up and got dressed, he made no attempt to go after her. Something in him had changed too. She was no longer enough, to satisfy his needs. Either was Cate, he now realized. He still felt something towards her but before he would let himself think about that, he went to the one that had automatically entered his mind. Kat. He set off to her house. He knew she would be there. She had to be. And he had to get her back.
Em was nothing anymore, he realized. After he got Kat, he would have to get his best friend back.
Nick sped to Kat's home on the Southern side of Orlando. Her door was unlocked so he let himself in, to surprise her. He heard rustling in the back bathroom. He made his way there to find Kat there standing in front of the mirror oblivious of his presence ready to end her life with the razor blade she held in her hand. He was speechless for a moment, guilt surrounded him immediately.
"Kat-NO! I LOVE YOU!" He shouted, not realizing he let the "L" word escape
his lips, but nevertheless it did the trick.
"Nick!" She exclaimed and collapsed in his arms crying.
Brian and Amy fed each other breakfast, occasionally breaking out in giggles. While doing the dishes together, surprising without getting in a water fight, the phone rang.
"Hello?" Brian asked, hoping it wasn't Leigh. It wasn't.
"Hey." Replied the voice of his best friend. He hadn't heard that in awhile,
not since that blasted day.
"Nick." Brian commented surprised.
"I was wondering if you would like to go to dinner with Kat and I tonight."
Nick asked.
"Oh sure. AMY and I would love to go to dinner with you and Kat." Brian said
so Amy could get what was going on.
"Great. And about the whole Em thing, nothing happened Brian. We just
talked." Nick reassured his best friend with lies.
"No matter." Brian replied.
"See you tonight." Nick said and with that hanging up.
"Looks like we got dinner plans." Brian said kissing Amy on the forehead.
"Sounds like fun, I haven't heard from Kat in ages." Amy commented.
"Lea I'm sorry. I am so sorry. I still love you but I just love Kristin more and I never realized it until she came back." Kevin tried explaining.
"Go to hell!" she shouted. She pushed him out of her door, and finally out of her life. He left home to tell Kristin that it didn't go so well but at least it was done.
It was finally done. Maybe now, he could finally be happy. He remembered he still had to call Heather and tell her the news or maybe Kristin and him would drop by her place for dinner.
Howie hated decieving. He wished he could just end communication with both of them, but he knew that wouldn't satisfy him. He just wanted to get them back at their own game, was that too much to ask? NO, it wasn't.
He continued walking, just on and on. He didn't even realize where he was until he reached an intersection. He was only 4 blocks from Nick's house. But he didn't feel like talking to Nick. He was too immature. He stopped a moment, and noticed someone familiar walking out of the house, just across the street.
He walked up to it, for a closer look, to find it was Em.
"Hey Em!" Howie shouted walking up to the porch she sat on.
"Hey Howard." She replied. Not as enthusiastic.
"What's wrong?" He asked. She just shot him a look.
"Is it Brian?" He asked.
"Howie, we need to talk." She said and led him into her empty home, they sat
on her stairs. And she told him about Brian, Evan, and Nick. He poured his
heart out as well about Stefania and Courtney.
"Howie-maybe we can help each other out. I just want to be happy again, as do you. But you are going to need assistance with your whole revenge plan and well I don't want to be alone." Em confessed.
"What are you suggesting?" He asked.
"Howie, just be my friend. Maybe even help me move in and I'll help you
out." Em replied.
"Okay. Sounds great. So what should I do?" He asked. Em smiled.
"Don't let them know you know. Let them play their games and respond
accordingly. There has to more to it than just them messing with your head.
Try and find out what that is. Once you feel you know enough, stop
communication with both of them, just come over here to my house and leave a
note I will write to you with my address on it on the table so they find it
and come here. Here they will see us, enjoying a great big dinner, with wine
and Howie darling, you must play the part of the love sickened fool and I
will play the part of the teasingly temptress that always gives in. We don't
have to do much. Just after dinner, go upstairs so they can't see inside
anymore through those two big windows in the dining room." Em planned out.
"And hey,I could like slowly be bringing stuff here that is mine and you
could give me my own room." Howie thought aloud.
"Howie, I'd love to have room mate." Em agreed.
"Ugh I hate hang overs!" Megs exclaimed for the third time.
"Sweets I know what you are going through okay." AJ replied sweetly and
kissed her.
"AJ, what in the hell were we doing out last night?" Megs asked.
"We went looking for Em and Nick, remember?" AJ asked.
"OH duh!" Megs exclaimed as the phone rang . It was Kat. Megs was gald Cate
was upstairs with her music blaring and didn't hear the phone.
"Guess what?" Kat asked excitedly into the phone.
"What?" Megs asked.
"Nick & I are finally together!" Kat shared.
"I am so happy for you." Megs replied shocked, "Listen I got a killer hang
over and I got to go lay down. Call me later." Megs added. Kat agreed and
hung up.
"The plot thickens." Megs announced to AJ.
"Really?" He asked waiting for his 'baby' to tell him the news.
"Nick and Kat are together." Megs shared.
"That little pimp." AJ responded.
