Aj watched in amusement as Theresa fiddled with her chopsticks, trying to get them to pick up a piece of sweet chicken. He laughed out loud at the look of utter concentration on her face as she lifted the meat, then the look of frustration as it fell back onto the plate.
"You would think I'd know how to do this by now. Chinese is my favorite food and I still can eat it without a fork." She grumbled, abandoning the chopsticks and picking the chicken up with her fingers and popping it into her mouth. Aj almost groaned aloud, watching as she sucked her fingers clean of the honey-like syrup on the meat.
"Here let me show you…" He picked up her chopsticks and then grabbed her hand. "You hold this one like that, then this one goes there, like that…"
Once he finished, Theresa tried again to pick up something, this time making it half way to her mouth with the fresh piece of stir-fry broccoli before dropping it as well. She glared at Aj when he cracked a half smile.
"Don't be laughing at me, Mr. McLean!"
"I'm not laughing at you. Here, let me help." Aj lifted a piece of chicken from her plate with his chopsticks and led it to her mouth, his gaze transfixed on her mouth as it engulfed the chicken. He noticed a tiny drop of the syrup resting just at the corner of her lips. On impulse he leaned in and licked it away, enjoying the sugary taste combined with her pink lips. He felt her gasp, but instead of moving away, he pressed his lips fully against hers.

"I'm sorry Nick… for this and not answering you in the car and for everything, but this is just so, different…" I muttered, bowing my head at his softened gaze.
"Then answer my question… Are we…" Nick trailed off, waiting patiently for an answer. It took me a second before I could look up at him, but some how I managed to.
"Yes, I want to be your girlfriend…" The words had just slipped from my lips before Nick's mouth caressed across my cheeks, nose, then to my mouth again. I couldn't push him away this time, his lips were too soft, too seducing. I kissed back with passion, trying to show in the kiss I wasn't going to stop anytime soon. Before I could coax his mouth open, he pulled away, his mouth curved in a grin.
"We still haven't made it out to the boat, come on." He smirked at me, as if attempting to tease me like I had done to him before. Well, it worked, I craved to taste his mouth again but tried to remain cool, even as he lifted me out of the water and back up onto the dock.
We walked back into his house, soaking wet and Nick went to retrieve towels for us. I stood in his kitchen shivering a little in the cool air of the house and watched his cute little pug puppies wrestle reach other in the dinning room. Nick returned with in minutes with a large hunter green towel and wrapped it around me, massaging my shoulders to dry me. He wiped the water from my neck, leaning in a little closer to me. Suddenly he pulled the towel tighter and tugged me towards him, allowing me to rest my head on his damp shirt covered chest. He then massaged my back through the rough towel, causing warmth to course through me.
"Nicky, are we ever gonna get to your boat?" I sighed, not really caring if we moved from this position ever.
"You're right, let's go."
**********
Theresa was only mildly shocked at Aj's sudden kiss, she had in fact been waiting for it all day. She opened her mouth to his exploring tongue and enjoyed the slightly salty seasoning. She felt his teeth lightly nibble on her lower lip and sighed in delight.
They held the kiss, testing the boundaries of what the other liked. Aj's hand had just slipped behind her head, cradling her against him and turning her head to probe even deeper into her sugary flavored mouth. Suddenly there was an impatient tap on the table, catching their attention.
"Is there anything else I can get you two?" The waitress asked in a slightly irritated voice.
"Um, no. Just the check please." Aj gazed over at Theresa and met her secretive half smile. "What do you say we head back to the house and see if there is anything to do there."
"Sure, let's go…" She shrugged as if she didn't care, picking up her shopping bags on the floor.
**********
The wind swept across my face, tangling my black tresses slightly as I sat beside Nick on his boat. We had stopped a little while and were simply drifting to enjoy the scenery and each other's company. We were on the top deck of his two-story boat, relaxing in the coolness of the shade. Occasionally Nick would brush back my hair, or caress my cheek, making me grin and blush under his affection.
"I'm glad you came back down here. I missed you a lot after we left for tour. I made Aj tell me how you were every time he got to see you." Nick smiled down at me, petting my hair again. I laughed softly, trying to ignore the heat rising to my face.
"Thanks, Nickers. I missed you too, it's amazing we became friends so quickly after we met. I mean, we were practically inseparable after Aj introduced us." I chuckled, remembering the jokes we played on Aj and the guys when we had been together.
"Yeah, we had some fun times…" He drifted off in thought, keeping his eyes locked to mine. I swear I could have drowned in those eyes, they were so deep and blue. My hand unintentionally brushed across his full mouth then along his cheek. I leaned in a little closer to him, inhaling so deeply to revel in his scent. He bent in as well, grazing his nose against mine. "I'm gonna kiss you now…"
But I beat him to it. Our lips molded together perfectly, caressing at first, then more passionate. I wrapped an arm around his neck as we laid back on the floor. Nick's body moved over mine, resting partially on me. He was careful not to rest entirely on me. We stayed like that for what seemed an eternity breaking apart only when we absolutely had to breathe.
**********
Theresa settled in the reclining chairs in the theater and tried to ignore Aj as he picked out a movie and popped it into the dvd player.
"What movie did you pick?" She asked, sipping the last of the coke in the bottom of her can. He gave her a mysterious face and chuckled.
"You'll have to wait and find out won't you…" He sat down in the chair next to her and hitting the dimmer button on his remote. Theresa looked around patiently.
"Was something suppose to happen?"
"Hang tight…" He hit the button again, and the light faded out, leaving them in darkness to enjoy 'The Sixth Sense.'
"Oh, I love this movie. It's great at the end…" Theresa muttered, leaning in a little closer to Aj. He just smiled and patted his shoulder, signaling for her to rest against him. She did so, inhaling his cologne deeply.
Theresa yawned against his shoulder, her eyes slipping shut as the opening credits began to play. Aj hadn't noticed until he whispered something about popcorn and she just snored a reply.
**********
Nick broke away from my lips, panting softly as he gazed down at me.
"I guess it's getting a bit late…" He muttered before kissing a path down my chin to my neck and sucking there teasingly. I could only groan a response, raking my fingers through his downy blond hair. He smirked against my neck and moved back to my face. "Should we head home now?"
If I had the choice I'd rather have stayed there under the stars with him, but if we didn't leave then, we would have never moved. I nodded and pouted slightly as he helped me stand. He turned his boat back on, allowing us to cruise back to his dock. He sat in his driver's seat, so I stood behind him with my arms around his shoulders.
"Did you have fun?" He muttered, pulling the boat back up to the dock and killing the engine.
"Of course, though I'm a little sorry to see it end…" I hinted slightly, hoping he'd catch my drift. He nodded but didn't look up at me, obviously not taking the message. So I took matters into my own hands, literally. I wrapped my arms around his waist when he stood, resting my head against his back. "Do I have to go home now?" I asked in my little girl voice, allowing my hands to roam, one up his chest, one into his jean pocket.
"Umm, I guess… not…" He moaned softly when my hand dug a little deeper into his pocket. He pulled me around to face him, crushing his lips against mine. His tongue dove into my mouth and dueled passionately with mine, as his large hands cupped my rear end and pulled me up a little closer to him.
"Mm, Nick…" I sighed as his mouth descended off mine again, returning to my neck to suckle rougher this time. My hand remained in his jeans, caressing and rubbing against the bulge growing there. A sudden vibrating in his pocket made him move away.
"Shit, that's my beeper…" He mumbled, pulling away from my neck. He pulled it out and looked down at the display screen. "Wonder what Bone wants…"
"I dunno…" I sighed, leaning against him once more.
**********
"Damn it, where are they?" Aj frowned, pacing the living room.
"Oh, J calm down. They're out having a good time…" Theresa tried to sooth his worry but only made it worse.
"Yeah, doing God knows what!" He sat down on the couch tiredly and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Relax Aj, Steph's a big girl, they won't do anything too naughty."
Suddenly the front door opened, revealing Nick and me. "Hey peeps, what's up?" I asked, as Aj glared between Nick and me.
