__After So Long
Chapter 4 - Finally

Meggie turned around and there was Nick, a cheeky grin on his face. "Oh, hey," she said, shyly, not knowing how to react to finally meeting Nick. It was a slightly uncomfortable situation for the both of them.

"Don't you dare get all shy on me now. Gimmie some good lovin', Babe," he said, wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug. It felt so good to have her in his arms. He closed his eyes, laying his head on top of hers, just enjoying the moment.

Slowly, she pulled away from him. "Well, aren't you just a hottie in person? It is so good to finally see you, like actually see you," she gushed, making him blush.

He smiled down at her. "Me?!? Damn Darlin', look at me for a second," he said, putting his thumb under his chin to make her look up at him. "You are so beautiful." He picked her up and twirled her around, knowing whatever they had was very special to the both of them.

Her friend, Natanya cleared her throat behind them. "Oh my God, I am such a freakin' ditz. Nick, this is Tammi, Michelle, and Natanya," she introduced, linking arms with Nick, then smiling proudly at the girls.

"Nice to meet you girls," he said, smiling at them. "C'mon, let's go get your luggage. I'm having a pool party at my house."

They walked off towards the luggage belt. "Could you take us to a hotel first please? We have to check in and drop off our luggage," Meggie asked, looking up at Nick with puppy dog eyes.

"Hotel?!? You girls are stayin' at my house," he said, laughing slightly. "Only the best for you, Hon."

"Oh Nick, we couldn't. We don't even know how long we're gonna be stayin'," Meggie said, touched that he would even suggest it.

"Well, I hope you stay forever. You are staying at my house, end of discussion," he said, helping the girls out with their luggage to the best of his ability.

"Fine, but as soon as you find us annoying, just let me know and we'll be on our way to a hotel," she said, not wanting to impose.
