Part 8

***Later that Night***

Kevin woke to Stephanie's smooth breast shift against his chest. He looked down and smiled at her. She was still sleeping peacefully, smiling softly in her sleep. She was laying on her side, him on his back, with her body pressed tightly against him.

"God I've missed you. Sometimes I would cry myself to sleep when I realized you weren't going to be next to me in my bed. I want to stay like this for the rest of our lives. Someday we'll have children together, I can just see them in your eyes." He muttered, closing his eyes and kissing the top of her head. He always use to talk to her while she slept, he could say things he felt awkward saying straight forward.

"I wouldn't mind that, either. Sounds so beautiful." Stephanie whispered softly, running her index finger down his well-sculpted chest. Kevin was slightly startled she was awake and had heard him, but simply pulled her on to his chest, her body covering his.

"I love you so much…" He murmured and kissed her lips, slowly urging his tongue into her mouth.

***With Theresa***

"Theresa, are you sure Steph's gonna appreciate you walking into her home uninvited?" Aj questioned, stepping up to Stephanie's apartment door with a short blond woman.

"Of course, **sneeze** I'm her best friend. She gave me a key. She won't mind, I missed her on tour **cough** and I want to know everything that happened…" Theresa stated, unlocking the door and stepping into the dark apartment.

"Is she even home?" Aj asked, turning on a lamp next to the couch.

"There's a lamp on in her bedroom. Nick said she was home." Theresa stated, walking down the hallway to the main bedroom. The door was cracked open enough for Theresa to poke her head in.

"Oh, my gosh!" she mumbled in her hoarse voice, seeing Kevin and Stephanie embraced under the comforter on Stephanie's bed, her on top of Kev, kissing him passionately. "Aj, I think Steph and Kev made up."

Aj walked over and peeked in as well and choked on his own breath.

"Alright finally!" He realized he had spoken too loudly when Kevin and Stephanie jerked their heads towards the door. "Oops!"

"Umm, hey guys. I wasn't aware you were gonna stop by." Stephanie tried to play off her embarrassment but felt her face grow bright red.

"Steph, we'll be in the living room…" Theresa stuttered, pulling Aj out of the doorway to give the two privacy.

"I guess we were caught." Kevin chuckled, caressing Stephanie's cheek and rolling them onto their sides. He kissed her again and climbed off the bed. "I guess we'll continue later."

Stephanie watched Kevin in awe as he pulled on his clothes. She looked over his beautiful attributes as he searched for his shirt. A muscled, lean chest, strong arms, a firm ass, and powerful legs, oh, but what was between those legs was something most girls would faint over. Stephanie smiled to herself at the thought and climbed from the bed as well. She pulled on her panties and jeans then her bra, and grabbed a tank top from her dresser and tugged it over her head.

Kevin wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her deeply. They broke apart and headed for the living room to find Aj and Theresa muttering to each other.

"Uh-oh, what's the gossip discussion now?" Stephanie teased, sitting down in the chair diagonal from the couch where Theresa and Aj stopped speaking.

"I didn't know you and Kevin were back together! Way to go Girl." Theresa suddenly busted out, grinning widely.

"Thank you for putting it mildly, Trease!" Aj shook his head, then looked up at Stephanie. "Well, we're very happy you two made up. Though Nick said you didn't look to 'relaxed' around each other. He's the one that suggested we visit to cheer you up…"

"Why would Nick think that we weren't going to get back together?" Kevin wondered out loud, making Stephanie stand from the chair, then sat down, pulling her onto his lap.

'I probably know why. Poor boy is crazy for her. But she's with Kevin, end of discussion. I just wish he'd give up and move on, so no one else would get hurt.' Aj thought, twisting his rings around on his finger, not even paying attention to Theresa's answer.

"Well you know Nick. Every since tour he's been so pessimistic! He was really happy to finally get home so he could see Steph. I think he missed having his best friend on tour with him." Theresa explained, glancing over at Aj to notice his nervous habit. She leaned in and whispered to him, "Baby, what's the matter?"

"I'll tell you later. We'll guys, what do we want to do? I mean since we interrupted you two, maybe we could do something together and chill."

"Well, it's a bit late to do anything other than stay in. Got a request for a movie?" Stephanie asked, snuggling back into Kevin as he played with her silky hair.

"Ooh, do you have 'Dirty Dancing? God, Patrick Swazye is so hot in that movie." Theresa smirked, starting to hum the song from the movie.

"No way, Babe, we ain't watching no girlie flick. How about 'Boogie Nights?" Aj suggested, cocking his eyebrow at her.

"Uh, no!" Theresa argued, then sneezed.

"Bless you. Look, you two can duke it out. I'll make some popcorn. Kevvy, wanna help me?" Stephanie smiled, standing from the chair and walking towards the kitchen. Kevin followed right behind her, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her closer to him.

"Well, we know what they're gonna do…" Theresa sighed, looking over at Aj. "Baby, what's wrong? I know you know why Nick said those things, so tell me."

"I'll tell you later, Honey, I don't want Kevin or Steph to hear, it could really ruin everything." Aj no more than whispered, staring at Theresa's deep blue eyes.

**In the Kitchen**

"Mmm, Kevvy, stop, you're making it really hard to make popcorn." Stephanie giggled, feeling Kevin's hard member pressing against her ass. Her statement only made him push against her harder.

"Oh, you know it's getting even harder…" He bent in and licked her earlobe, "to make popcorn."

"Oh, behave!" She muttered, tossing the bag of kernels into the microwave and starting it.

"I can't when I'm around you… you just put all these bad thoughts in my head. You bad thing you." Kevin smirked, turning Stephanie on more and more with every deep baritone word he spoke.

"Come on, the popcorn's done, let's go watch the movie." She murmured, turning around to face him and rubbing her lips slightly against his. He pouted softly but followed her to the living room. "So did we pick a movie?"

"Umm, I dunno, Baby, you pick. I won't argue with you this time." Aj smiled at his girlfriend as she tried to hold in a sneeze.

"Really, that's so sweet…" She leaned into kiss him, but quickly turned away and sneezed. "Oh, how about 'The Mummy'? That was a good movie."

Stephanie handed her a tissue and popped the movie into the VCR. No one except Theresa actually watched the movie. Aj was off in his own little world thinking about how to get Nick to move on. Stephanie and Kevin were whispering softly to each other and would kiss occasionally.

By the end of the movie, Stephanie was curled up in the chair on Kevin's lap, sleeping quietly. Theresa was slowly nodding off, finally resting her head against Aj shoulder. Aj noticed and wrapped an arm around her.

"Babe, maybe we should head home and put you to bed." He smiled, waiting for her to reply in her sleep.

"Mmm, okay, whatever." Theresa muttered, snuggling closer to him.

"Kev, I think we're getting ready to leave. It's late and both our babies need sleep."

"Yeah, I noticed. Wait one second, Bone. Let me go put Steph in her room." Kevin yawned, cradling Stephanie in his arms and carrying her to her room. He carefully laid her down on the bed and pulled her jeans off. He put her under the covers and watched her stir slightly and drift back to sleep. He returned to the living room to find Aj trying to get Theresa to stand long enough to put her jacket on. As soon as it was on, Theresa slumped back into the recliner and yawned tiredly.

"What ya need, Train?" Aj asked, grabbing a handful of cold popcorn and eating it one piece at a time.

"I think I know why Nick has been, how should I put it, bitchy lately. I think he has a thing for Steph." Kevin stared at Aj, waiting for a conformation on his thoughts.

"That is why. He fell for her from the second Brian introduced her. He used to come over to my house every weekend and beg to jog down the beach, just because she jogs towards my house along the beach some mornings. He's just got a crush, but we're gonna see him through this one. Right? We're not gonna pound him for having eyes for your sweetheart. Right?"

"Of course, I'm not gonna beat him up for it. Stephanie thinks of him as a little brother and would probably pound me if I tried." Kevin joked lightly. "But I know she went to his place the night we fought and broke up."

"You know, neither of them would do anything, Stephanie loves you too much to ever do anything like that. That reminds me. Are you gonna tell Steph about the…" Aj hinted, not really knowing why he brought it up.

"I can't do that. I love her too much to even mention it. That is best left in the past. Are you gonna mention it to her?" Kevin asked cautiously.

"No, I leave that up to you. It would really hurt her to hear about it, but you two weren't really together at that point."

"Can we just stop talking about it? I know you gotta get sleepy-head home and to bed so… Night Bone." Kevin smiled softly, helping Aj get Theresa into standing position. He watched as Aj led the short blond from the house and shut the door behind them.

Kevin was lost in thought about the conversation Aj was careful to bring up, he didn't hear Stephanie walk in or step up next to him. She kissed his shoulder, bringing him back.

"What are you doing up, Baby Doll? I thought I put you to bed." Kevin smiled down at her.

"Well I woke up all alone in my big bed and got cold, and since you're the only one who can keep me warm, I was planning on making you come to bed with me." She smiled back, leaning her head against his arm.

Kevin stared down at his lover and felt the urge to make love to her again. She was so adorable, standing next to him in nothing more than a thin grayish-blue tank top and silky panties. He suddenly swept her off her feet again, carrying her away to her bedroom again.

***Early the Next Morning***

The light ringing of her phone, woke Stephanie from her dreams. She rolled over to see Kevin sleeping soundly next to her. She glanced at her clock before picking up the phone.

"Hello?" She mumbled, still trying to wake up.

"Stephanie…" A familiar male voice said, making Stephanie wake up quickly.

"Nick, what's with the wake-up call?" She yawned, sitting up slightly in bed.

"I gotta talk to you, for real this time, I don't care if Kevin is still there or not you deserve to know everything…"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm coming over in about an hour, I'll explain everything then." Nick said, then hung up the phone.
