Chapter 12

Nick started getting dressed. When he had finished putting on his clothes, and was now brushing his hair, he felt a sudden wave of drowsiness so strong that he had to lean on the counter to stay upright. His eyes began to droop.

"I need to call Emmalee. I don't know why I'm so sleepy all of a sudden. I gotta tell her that we gotta reschedule." He walked out of the bathroom, and sat down on the bed. He reached for the phone, but never got to it. He was out cold.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jen peeked inside Nick's bedroom. Perfect. He was sleeping on his bed. She had been afraid that he would fall on the floor considering how strong the drug was that she had given to him, unbeknownst to him.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Emmalee slept fitfully, on her stomach. She snuggled deeper into her covers, falling into an even deeper sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jen called the bellboy, and he soon joined her with camera in hand. She slowly took on Nick's clothes, leaving him only in his boxers. She moved him under the covers. She quickly stripped under the covers, taking off everything but her panties. She moved over to Nick, and started to kiss him. The bellboy snapped picture after picture with her kissing Nick, touching him, and putting herself on top of him so that it looked like they were engaged in passion but really weren't. A picture is never truly what it appears to be.

After the roll had finished, Jen quickly dressed, and gave the bellboy the rest of his cash for his silence on the matter, and taking the pictures. When the boy had left, she sighed in contentment. These pictures were sure to break up Nick and Emma.

"I wonder how he's gonna try to get out of this one. Emma will never believe that I drugged him," she said, laughing. She quickly dressed Nick, and put him in the position he was in before. If he told Emma that he had gone to sleep and woken up in the same position and dressed, that was surely to make his story even more unbelievable. Jen laughed again as she exited his room, and went into hers, the rolls of film tucked away in her purse. "I have to find a developing center soon. The sooner the better," she said.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Nick slowly woke up, and shot out of bed. He had fallen asleep. He hadn't called Emma to cancel. She must be furious, he thought, walking out his room, and knocking on Emma's.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Emma woke up to the pounding on her door. She suddenly remembered that she had fallen asleep. "Oh no! He has probably been trying to wake me up for hours! I don't know how I didn't wake up," Emma said to herself, looking at her clock. It read ten after nine. She quickly stood up, and swung the door open.

"I'm sorry!" They both said silmutaneously. They both laughed. "What are you sorry for?" they said again together.

"Okay, this is getting freaky. Lemme try this again. Why are you sorry?" she asked.

"No, why are you sorry?" Nick echoed.

"Umm...I fell asleep. I thought you had been trying to wake me up for hours," Emma explained. Nick burst out laughing.

"I fell asleep too! I thought that you had been waiting for me for hours!" he exclaimed.

"Great! Now neither of us has to be sorry," Emma reasoned. Nick nodded.

"Do you still wanna watch a movie?" he questioned.

"Yeah, sure. One probably just started. Come in," she said. Nick entered the room, and Emma shut it behind him. They both sat down on the bed, and turned to the movie channel. Sure enough, the credits were still being presented as a new movie started. Emma moved backwards until her back touched the headboard. She got under the covers, and motioned Nick to follow her.

"Come over here, Nick," she said. Nick did the same. Nick laid his head on her lap, and Emma started stroking his hair softly, as they watched the movie.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was an action movie, and Nick seemed pretty interested in it. Emma suppressed a yawn. She glanced at the clock. Ten o'clock. Nick sat up, and pulled Emma into his arms. He brought his lips down on hers and kissed her very deeply, their lips moving slowly over each other's. Emma lay down on the bed, pulling Nick on top of her, the movie forgotten. They kissed feverishly. Nick started to let his hands roam all over her body, his hands moving under her shirt, massaging her side.

We're getting to carried away, Emma thought. She didn't want to have him now. It was too soon. She pulled away from him. Nick looked down at her, breathing heavily.

"What's wrong, baby?" he asked, laying himself gently on top of her, kissing her neck softly. Emma basked in the feelings for a minute, before she gently pushed Nick off of her, and got closer to his side, laying her head on his chest.

"I think we're moving too fast is all, Nick," she whispered, running her hands up and down his stomach.

"Okay, baby. I understand," Nick said. "Let's finish watching the movie."

When the movie had finished, Nick stood up and pulled Emma with him, giving her a long kiss. He hugged her very hard.

"Goodnight, Em. Sweet dreams," he said.

"Goodnight, Nick," Emma responded.

"I love you, baby. You know that, right?" Nick questioned, pulling back so he could look into her eyes. Emma nodded.

"Yes, Nick, I know. I love you too," she said. He nodded.

"G'night," he said again, giving Emmalee a short kiss before exiting the room.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

As the guys got in their respective hotel room, Kevin went inside his, feeling sort of lonely, since he had no one to share the room with. Usually he would have been so happy to be in peace and quiet. But it was too quiet. He couldn't stop thinking about Emma. He was very jealous of Nick. "Emma shouldn't be going out with a little kid. She needs someone her age or older...like me. I need to make her realize that. She has to be mine." He got dressed for bed, and plopped down on it. He turned off the lights, and stared at the dark ceiling, trying to come up with a plan.
