I woke up the next morning to music being blasted down the hall. I knew it had to be Nick's stereo. I got up and walked to his room. I opened the door and just stared at Nick.

"Oh you're up. Good morning." Nick said to me.

"I was sleeping Nickolas until you're loud and disturbing music woke me up, thank you very much."

"Lisa, it's noon. You should be up anyway." he said with a smirk.

"Ugh!" I went over to Nick's unmade bed and laid down on it.

"Man, I am so tired."

Nick got on the bed and laid down next to me.

"I talked to Brian today. I think he's more excited than me!! I think he was bouncing off the walls there!"

"He better not be more excited than you. I'll have to kill you then."

"Then who are you going to marry?"

"Brian's single right?" I said with a laugh.

" You just didn't say that."

"Yes I did."

Nick's smile left his face so I added "I'm just kidding Nick. I wanna marry you and only you."

" My feelings are hurt."

"Oh, you poor baby. What can I do to make you feel better?"

"Give me a back rub. I'm tired."

"Hey! I deserve a back rub. Not you!! You're the one who woke me up! I'm the tired one here!"

"If you do a good job on me then I'll give you one."

"I know I will do a good job so I guess I'm going to get one too." We shook hands to seal the deal. (Hey...that rhymes! lol)

Nick took off his shirt and laid on his stomach. I got on top of him and started massaging his shoulders.

"Oh, that feels so good" came out of Nick's mouth.

"It better cuz it's killing my hands."

" Well it does. Thank you."

I continued rubbing his back and shoulders when I realized Nick was not saying anything. I looked at him and he was sleeping!!! Oh, he's going to get it. I took my hands and pushed really hard on his back.

"Ouch!!!!!" he screamed. "Why did you do that?"

"You fell asleep on me. That's a big no-no."

"I wasn't sleeping."

"Then what were you doing?"

" I was ummm...giving my eyes a rest."

"That was lame. I want my back rub now. I deserve it. "

"Okay." Nick got up and stretched. I laid on my stomach as Nick cracked his hands.

"What? I took my shirt off...and your not?"

"Your one sick man Nick. And that was your choice. This is mine."

"Your no fun."

"Yeah and what if someone walks in on us, with our shirts off. That would not be a good thing."

"I guess." Nick got on top of me and started with my shoulders and worked down.

"Man, this is heaven."I said.

"If you think this is heaven just wait." Nick said with a snicker.

"Oh my! That felt good. Right there."

Nick smiled and continued on rubbing.

"Nick, will you sing to me?" I asked half sleeping.

"Anything for you baby."

Nick sang "When I see you smile" to me quietly as I drifted of to a pleasant sleep.

[Nick's point of view] "I love you Lisa" I said to my beautiful bride as I finished the song. She was fast asleep so I got up and grabbed a blanket off the shelf. I covered her, which she looked so peaceful. I gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and put my shirt back on. Then I left the room. I shut the door quietly and went down the hall to the study where I dialed Brian's house.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Hey Brian."

"Oh hey Nick. Didn't we just talk like an hour ago?"

"Yeah, but that's besides the point."

"Alrighty then."

"You wanna come over and ball some basketball?"

"Yeah sure."

"Ok. Be over here in about an hour."

"Ok then. We should get Lisa to play against us. Now that would be very amusing."

"Lisa's sleeping. I kinda woke her up with my music so she came in my room and fell asleep after awhile."

"Why aren't you sleeping with her?" There was laughing on the other end.

"Brian. Man! Your worse than I am."

"No, I just know what you want to do."

"Whatever Rok. "

"Ok, I'll be over in an hour."

"See-ya"

"Bye."

I hung up with Brian and went downstairs.

"Mom, Brian's coming over in an hour to shoot some hoops."

"I thought you were going to spend the day with Lisa?" she asked.

"I will later. Plus, Lisa's sleeping right now. "

"Oh alright."

I left the room to go see if Lisa was still sleeping. She was indeed but I thought she might like some lunch right now. I walked into my room and went over to the bed.

"Lisa, baby....wake up," I whispered while rubbing her softly on her back.

" Hmm..." she said.

"You want some lunch?."

"Mmm....later."

"Sweeite...."

"I..will."

I leaned down and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Then I got up to leave the room when Lisa said "Nick?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't feel so good."

"You were feeling fine just a little bit ago."

"I know. I just don't feel good all of a sudden."

I walked back over to Lisa and sat down next to her. She sat up so I took my hand and placed it on her forehead.

"Lisa, your burning up. I think you should stay in bed. I'll go get you a cool washcloth." I went down the hall to the bathroom and made sure the towel was cold before going back to her room.

"Here you go," I said placing it on her hot forehead.

"Thanks baby."

"I'm going to take your temperature." I grabbed the thermometer before leaving the bathroom so I took it out and placed it in her mouth.

"I'll be right back." I got up and went downstairs to find my mom.

"Mom, Lisa's not feeling well. She's burning up."

"I thought she was sleeping?"

"She was, but I thought she might like some lunch so I woke her up. She was feeling just fine a little bit ago. I don't know why she doesn't now."

We both went upstairs and into my room.

"What's she doing in your room?"

"I woke her up this morning by my music so she came into my room and fell asleep on my bed."

I went and took the thermometer out of her mouth.

"101 degrees." I read.

" I don't know why I suddenly got sick. I felt fine about 15 minutes ago.."

"I think you should get some rest Lisa."

"Yeah."

"Nick, maybe you should come downstairs."

"Yeah, I'll be down in a second." My mom left the room, leaving me alone with Lisa.

"Nick, don't go."

"I won't. I'll stay right here, but Brian is coming over in an hour though.."

Lisa smiled and said, " Ok, the just stay for a little while please."

"Sure thing."

"I'm tired."

"Lay back down Angel."

"Will you lay with me Nick?"

"Yeah....."

I laid down next to Lisa and she cuddled up next to me so I wrapped my arms around her.

"You know Lisa, if I get sick, I'm going to have to kick your butt."

"I could take you now Nick. Sick or not." she said with a yawn.

"I'd rather be the one that is sick then have you sick."

"Your sweet."

"I love you, that's why. I'd do anything for you not to feel any pain or be sick."

"I love you Nick."

"Try and get some rest baby."

A little while later Lisa fell asleep. I could watch her sleep all day. She looked so innocent, like a little kid. I was tired myself and ending up falling asleep with her.

[Jane's P.O.V.]

*The doorbell*

I opened the door to see Brian standing there with a basketball.

"Hi Brian." I said with a smile.

"Hey Mrs. Carter."

"Nick's probably upstairs in his room."

"Ok, thanks."

[Brian's P.O.V.]

I walked into Nick's room to see him sleeping on his bed with Lisa. I chuckled to myself and walked over to the bed. Right before I was going to hit Nick in the head with a pillow he opened his eyes.

"Hey Brian. Lisa's sick so be very quiet." He said in a whisper.

"Ok, you ready for some b-ball?"

"Yeah."

[Nick's P.O.V.]

I gave Lisa a kiss on the cheek and me and Brian went downstairs. I grabbed some water from the refrigerator and followed Brian outside.

"Are you ready for me to kick your butt?" I told Brian.

"Yeah right like you're going to beat me." he said with a laugh.

Brian and I played basketball for a couple for hours. Brian won by 3 points.

"I told ya I would beat you." Brian said drinking some water.

"Yeah whatever."

"Such a sore loser Nick."

"Am not!"

Brian just lasughed and we went inside.

"I'm going to see how Lisa is doing. I'll be right back."

"Alright."

I walked upstairs and into my room to see Lisa sitting up in my bed watching TV. I walked over to her and say down.

"How are you feeling?" I asked sympathetically.

"I still feel rotten, but I think my fever went down a little." she said.

I grabbed the thermometer and placed it in her mouth. When I took it out it read 99.2 degrees.

"It went down a little bit, but not too much. 99.2 degress."

Lisa just smiled. "Is Brian still here?"

"Yeah he's downstairs."

"Well, go back down there. I'll be fine."

"All right, I'll come back up in a little while to check on you."

I gave her a kiss on the forehead and went downstairs into the kitchen where Brian was getting some pop.

"You want some?" He asked.

"Yeah sure."

Brian threw me a can of Pepsi and I sat down at the table.

"How's Lisa doing?"

"She still has a fever but is doing better."

"That's good." Brian paused then said, "Well, I think I should be going now. It's almost 5."

"Ok Bri."

"Talk to ya later man."

Brian left and I decided to go back upstairs to see Lisa. I walked in the room to see her laying there half asleep. She was probably cold since the blanket was on the floor so I picked it up, got on the bed and layed next to her covering both of us up. She opened her eyes and smiled at me.

"Hey baby," she said.

"Hi sweetie."

"I'm glad you're back."

I smiled and brought her closer to me, wrapping her in my arms.

"I like being in your arms. You make me feel so safe."

"Well, I like when you're in my arms too. And I'm glad I make you feel safe."

We just layed there and fell asleep together. We were so tired I guess, that we didn't even hear when my mom came in to tell us dinner was ready.
