Finally finding him sitting outside on the back porch just relaxing. She let the breath she didn't know she had been holding out slowly and walked softly up to him.
"Whatch doin' Nick?" Kate questioned sitting down next to Nick on the swing.
"Nothing just thinking about thing's is all why is there something you need?" Nick replied looking into Kate soft brown eyes. He spotted something's in her that he'd never seen in her's eyes before something's that both excited him and scared him.
"No no just wanting to know I'm going to go start dinner now so don't come into the house yet K cause it's a surprise for you. And if you do you wont get it" Kate exclaimed getting up.
"All right I'll be good but first let me get into the living room cause' it's kind of cold out here" Nick replied getting up.
"Go right ahead but be quick about it" Kate snickered as she watch Nick get up and walk into the house.
At least an hour had pasted by and finally Kate had finished dinner she had order Nick to his room for a shower and to get dressed thirty minutes ago. Sense she had finished putting everything in place Kate dashed up to her room to get dressed finishing in ten's which surprised her. She heard Nick singing softly though his door she slowly strolled over to his door pushing it open slightly peeking in to see Nick dancing around in his pants with a hair brush in his hand singing. She closed the door then knocked loudly trying to stifle a laugh which was very hard to do.
"Ya" Nick voice came from the room.
"You almost done in there?" Kate asked still trying to hold the laugh in.
"Hmm ya I'll be done in ten" Nick replied.
"Good I'm almost finish hurry up Mister or you'll miss you're birthday" Kate retorted walking away to finish setting up candle's and everything else.
Ten minutes later as Kate was being the last plate into the living to set down on the floor Nick walked out. At first all she saw was his feet fitted in black slack then his legs, another black thing she noticed this time he choose black fitting jeans to wear, and last what covered his chest and stomach was a beautiful dark blue dress shirt fitting over him just right. Kate's breathed caught in her throat she smiled lightly at him still looking him over slowly. Nick too was looking Kate over she was dressed in a nice floor length dark green dress with long sleeve a neck line which down just a bite.
"Wow" was one word that both of them exclaimed at the same time.
"You look good but why all of this just of me?" Nick questioned walking slowly over to her.
"Cause' I wanted to do something nice for you and this was all I could think of do you like" Kate returned moving her arms around like she was showing him what all she had done for him.
However, all he saw was her and nothing more.
"Oh but I still don't understand why I'm no one special" Nick exclaimed looking away from Kate.
"You are to me and besides it was my choice to do this so don't think you're going to get out of it so sit" Kate stated as she grabbed a hold of Nick's hand and pulled him over to the floor were his place was.
"OK OK fine and thank you so much Kate I don't know why you did it but thank you anyway" Nick exclaimed as he sat down.
"You're very welcome now eat before it gets cold I still have some other thing's for you" Kate commented as they began to eat dinner.
After a lot of small talk and eat was over Kate clear the dishes Nick tried to help but Kate just told him no to sit back down and enjoy his day. She finished in the kitchen and proceeded to walk back out into the living room. The first note's of a song that Kate all way thought was the most beautiful.

It's in the silences, the words you never say

"May I have this dance once again My Lady" Nick questioned as he stood up.

I see it in your eyes, it always starts the same way

"Yes you may kind Sir." Kate replied giving her hand to him.

It seem like everyone we know, is breaking up
Does anybody ever stay in love anymore

Chorus

I promise you, from the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like I never love again
With everything I am

Ooh

I see you look at me, when you think I'm not aware
You're searching for clues, of just how deep my feelings are
How do you prove the sky is blue, the oceans wide?
All I know is how I feel, when I look into your eyes

Chorus:

I promise you, from the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like I never love again
With everything I am
Ooh yeah

Bridge:

Oh there are no guarantees
That' what you always say to me
But late at night I feel the tremble in you're touch
Oh what I'm trying to say to you
I never said to anyone
I Promise

Chorus:

I promise you, from the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part (I do my darling I promise you)
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like I never will love again
With everything that I am
I promise you, from the bottom of my heart
I will love you till death do us part (I love you I love you I love you I love you)
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like never will love again
With everything I am
You're everything I am
Oh yeah
With everything I am

Lyric's by: Dan Hill Off the CD Black and Blue

After the song faded another one came on this one they didn't dance just merely held each other like it might be the last time. After that song ended Kate pulled away.
"I have something for you sit while I go get it" Kate stated softly as she walked away.
Not two minutes later Kate came back to the living room with a small box in hand. She and Nick both sat down on the couch facing each other Kate handed Nick the small box and watched look at it carefully.
"It's not going to jump out at me when I open it is it?" Nick asked carefully.
"No silly that's you department remember" Kate laughed then added "now open I hope you like it".
Nick slowly opened the lid then looked back at Kate again then to the box. Resting inside was a small silver chain with a small cross resting with it. Nick carefully took it out of the box and looked at it studying very cautiously so as to not brake it.
"God it's beautiful how did you pay for it and why why would you do something like this for me?" Nick questioned looking into Kate eyes.
"Cause' you got me something very special for Christmas I wanted to returned the favor" Kate answered then asked "Do you like it I got it engraved with something look on the back".
Nick did as she told him and turned the cross over in small letters the words were "I'm with you always". Tears formed in his eyes but he wouldn't let them fall instead he grabbed Kate tightly into his embrace and hugged her so very tightly she thought she was loosing her breath.
"Nick you're choking me Hon." Kate managed to get out.
"Oh sorry it's just I love it I really do" Nick answered letting Kate pull back some.
"I'm glad now stay right here I've got to go get you're cake" Kate stated getting up.
However, before she could Nick pulled her back into his arms and kissed her soundly this time nothing like they had ever done before. Once she was finally let go they both were out of air. Kate manages the pull herself from Nick arms to walk into the kitchen to get and light the cake. What she didn't know was that Nick was coming up behind her and preparing to grab her around the waist. However first he watched her as she moved around in the small kitchen he always loved to do that the way she walked softly even if she was wearing shoes. Carefully putting the candles on the cake slowly so as not to mess up the frosting. There were sometimes when she would cook he would wish it was him she was so purposely taking care of. Then he remembers that she did when he was first hurt she did take care of him watching her he got lost in his thought and didn't know she had turned around.
"Oh God Nick give a girl a heart attack why don't you" Kate exclaimed putting her hand to her chest in mock shock.
"Oh sorry I uhmm just wanted to come see what you were doing sorry I didn't mean to scary you" Nick stated softly.
"It's OK really I know you didn't mean to" Kate returned walking over to him then stating "So did you get everything you wanted for you're birthday"?
"No I didn't get everything I wanted" Nick answered still standing by the door.
"Oh and what was it that you wanted that you didn't get?" Kate questioned looking at him.
"You" Nick answered looking at Kate seriously.
"Uhhhmmm really I mean…. Why me wha what did I do for you to want me" Kate stuttered staggering backwards.
"You are you and I love you that's why do you need any other reason. Do you need to know anything else but that" Nick replied walking to Kate.
All Kate could do was keep backing up until she finally hit the kitchen counter. She was trapped with Nick still coming to her looking at her in a way she had never seen him look at her before it both scared and excited her to see him like this.
"No I mean yea that…" it was the last word she got out before Nick's lips came crashing down on her's. Pushing her body up against the counter thank God the candles on the cake weren't lit. After the steaming kiss they broke away both breathless and wanting more.
"Nick what about to ask you might be no it might shock you and if you don't want to is OK with me" Kate exclaimed looking at Nick slowly.
"OK go ahead ask" Nick replied still looking at Kate closely.
"Hmm make love to me Nickolas?" Kate asked him moving her hands around on his chest.

"You sure I mean I don't want to pressure you into anything" Nick returned making sure she was comfortable with it.
"Yes I'm sure why else would I have ask" Kate answered pulling Nick closer to her.
"Then my answer is yes baby I will" Nick exclaimed taking possession of Kate's lips once more.
As they made there way into the living room Boyz to Men started to play softly. At first Kate didn't really know what to do seeing as how this was her first time and all but she wanted Nick to much to let something like that get in her way. Slowly she let her hands roam his back making sure to memorize every little thing about him. Once the kiss ended they were both breathless with passion.
"You want to stay in here or go to you're bedroom" Nick questioned as they continued to walk into the living room.
"In here by the fire place but first can we dance just to start things off slow. I mean you see Nick I've… she couldn't get another word out Nick had put his finger to her lips and slowly traced the out line of her lips.
"You don't have to say anything else I understand and to let you know if at any point you don't want to go on tell me and I'll stop" Nick reassured Kate as he brushed her hair behind her.
"Hmm thanks Nick you truly are wonderful" Kate commented as they slowly danced to "On bended knee."
Every so often Nick would kiss her neck softly nibbling on the flesh. He loved to hear the moan that left her lips as he did so. After the song ended Kate brought her head up from his shoulder and kissed him but this time it was different. She let the kiss get deeper more passion fill as Nick ran his tongue along the bottom of her lips wanting in. She except as they sat down on the fluffy comforter that lay on the floor. Nick on top of her slowly starting to move down her neck hearing her take in a sharp breath as he reached the front of her dress just a little above her right breast.
Nick raised his head so it was level with her's then stated "You know it might help if we were undressed".
Kate giggled softly the sound turning Nick on to no end he pulled her back to him this time rolling over so she was on top. Kate trailed her lips down to his neck and up over to his earlobe and started to suck and lick a feeling Nick loved. As her hands made there way to his shirt buttons opening them slowly knowing just how it was killing him. When she reached the last button her hand went down farther to the growing bulge in his pants and stroked him softly. Her lips now trailed down over his collarbone down farther to his chest. She moved first to the right nipple and sucked softly as she felt his large hand in her hair. She moved over paying equal attention to the left nipple all the while Nick was trying to gain control he wanted this to be about her not him. Yet, his will power and everything else flow out the window as her soft lips started to kiss him. After what she thought was equal attention to his nipples Kate went down farther ending at his pants. She looked up at him and saw his head thrown back, his eyes semi close she tugged at his belt loops asking for permission to take them off him.
Nick looked down at her slowly his once sparkling blue eyes were now glazed over with lust, and love for her. All he could do was nod his answer and lay his head back down. Slowly as if she wanted him to feel everything she was doing to him his belt first came off she throw that aside then the button came undone and lastly just to tease him she slowly lowered the zipper driving him totally crazy with desire. Slipping her hands underneath the fabric Kate felt his body come alive under her touch his breath sped up and was coming out more as moans and groan's than anything else. She loved the way he looked laying on her floor his shirt open, his chest exposed to her eyes. As she crawled back up his body stopping every so often to kiss along the way once level with his face she looked down seeing his eyes closed. Kate kissed him forceful wanting him to feel everything every little bit of desire, lust, and love she had for him. Also as if they were of one mind Nick rolled over once again maneuvering her underneath him once more. Kate run her finger's though his hair and down his back taking his shirt with her. Dropping it to the side so it wouldn't get in the way as her hands moved down farther to the hem of his pants. Once again letting them dive underneath the fabric to massage his booty as his lips trailed once more over her neck to her earlobe sucking there like she had just done him.
"Oh Nick hmm dam that feels so good" Kate exclaimed as his left hand massage her left breast softly though the fabric of her dress.
"I'm glad you like baby God you feel so good against me" Nick commented.
"So do you but there one problem" Kate stated as she felt him stop everything.
"Oh and what would that one thing be my dear?" Nick questioned looking up at her seeing a bit of mischief playing in her eyes.
"You're so very tense you need a back rub baby and badly" Kate answered her hands still moving around on his back.
"I'd like that very much were do you want me" Nick answered trying to turn over but Kate wouldn't let him.
"You stay right here I'll be right back OK," Kate exclaimed getting up.
"You got it my dear" Nick answered getting comfortable.
Five minutes later Kate returned with something in her left hand that looked to be a bottle of lotion.
"This is the best oil we use at the parlor it smells of vanilla I hope you like it" Kate stated as she walked back over to Nick.
"I'm sure I well anything you do to me is fine" Nick answered while Kate sat back down.
Slowly she started to untie the knots in his back first his shoulder's then on down to his lower back then up once more. While she was doing this Nick moaned his enjoyment and relaxed into her touch loving every minutes of it. Nick had gotten so into it by the time she was finished he felt so good.
'Now it's her turn' Nick though to himself as he felt her lips on his back slowly and softly kissing the newly massage skin.
"Oh God Kate do you have any idea what you are doing to me" Nick asked rolling over so he could face her.
He was laying in nothing but his boxer briefs she still had her dress on from the evening. The more he looked at her the more he wanted to take that dress off and see just what she just to offer him. All Kate could do was giggle at what he said which was then covered by a moan as he grabbed her and kissed her passionately. Letting his tongue slip past her's as they dueled erotically slowly he brang her dress up from the bottom. Letting his hands run over her smooth thigh's feeling her back as the dress came up more. Soon it was on the floor next to his pants and shirt detaching his lips from hers trailing his lips over her cheek to her earlobe and down to her neck nibbling softly as he went. Nick heard nothing but the soft sounds of Boys to Men and Kate moaning he reached around to unclasp her bra bringing his hands around to cup the newly uncovered skin in his hands. Running his fingers over the nipples making them hard were his hands once had been his mouth followed trailing kisses down over her. Then downing a breast whole flicking his tongue over the harden nipple feeling her fingers run though his hair made him even harder then he had been. Making sure to pay equal attention to both breasts he switch to the left while his right hand toyed with the nipple. When Kate cried out in pleasure he knew he had her moving on he lowered himself between her legs running hand lager hands up and down. Then kissing them each just like his hands had done his lips were now doing knowing it was driving Kate crazy with desire. Moving back up Nick hooked his fingers inside the waistband of her underwear pulling them down slowly. Then moving to lay over her searching her eyes to make sure it was OK to continue. When he saw nothing but lust, passion, and love for him he knew it was OK. He let Kate's hands travel down his body to the waistband of his boxers slipping her hands inside to caresses his erection running the very tip of her fingers over him. Watching as he threw his head back moaning softly once he regain his control of felt cold air over his butt and knew that she had removed his boxer from him. Nick looked down at Kate seeing a mischievous grin spread across her face.
"What's that grin for uh?" Nick questioned slipping his fingers down between them.
"OH… nothing wh… why do you as…ask?" Kate strutted as she felt on of Nick's fingers enter her.
"No reason just wanted to know is all" Nick replied fingering her more.
Then lowering himself between her legs parting them so he could have access to her. She moaned louder as his tongue came in contacted with her flesh.
"Oh God Nick that... that hmm feels so good please more" Kate exclaimed gripping the blanket in her fists. When he felt her orgasm approach he slowed to make it last longer for her. When she couldn't take it anymore she let Nick know so this time he let her cum flowing out onto his tongue and finger's. Once she finished he brought he dripping fingers to his mouth licking them clean making sure she was watching him carefully. This only turned her on more once she regain a breath she grabbed a hold of Nick pulling him down on top of her kissing him with such passion it surprised him a little that she was so forceful. Running her hands once more between them she grabbed onto his maleness running her fingers up and down his shaft eliciting a low almost growl type sound out of him.
"God baby you're killing me here" Nick stated his eyes closed partly.
"Good now you know how I feel" Kate shot back as she rolled them both over so she was on top this time. "Now it's my true oh and the grin you asked me about was because I get to torture you now" Kate explained kissing his neck while softly nibbling.
"Oh rea… really you've a very bad girl you kno… know th... that" Nick studded as Kate ran her fingers slowly over the tip.
"Hmm hm I sure do" Kate replied lowering herself down his body.
First kissing his chest slowly circling his nipples one at a time, moving down to dip her tongue in his bellybutton. Kissing along his stomach then moving down to his thigh kissing and nibbling on the inner part slowly moving up to reach his manhood softly taking him into her mouth running her front teeth over him. Watching as his head thrusted back and forth his fist keep clenching and unclenching slowly she took move of him in deep throating him almost whole. Running her fingers first over his balls then softly rolling them between her fingers, squeezing them. Once she felt them tighten she moved faster making Nick moan more. Finally he came flooding her mouth and she drank every drop returning to face him drawing crazy circle on him as he cough his breath. Once he had Nick grabbed a hold of Kate kissing her as they both rolled. Kate screamed in surprise when Nick entered her fearing he had hurt her he stopped.
"You OK baby?" Nick asked moving her hair back away from her forehead.
"No" Kate responded watching Nick freeze.
"What's wrong?" Nick questioned now fearing he had hurt her.
"You stopped that what's wrong baby" Kate responded running her fingers though his hair once more.
"Oh that can be fixed then" Nick stated slowly he started to pull out of Kate. Then back in watching her face contort in pleasure.
Slowly they became one making it last as long as they possibly cause, holding back so they both could cum together with primal cry's of pleasure. Nick fell onto Kate both breathing heavily gasping for air both of them running there hand all over the other making sure it wasn't a dream. Kate cuddle into Nick arms resting her head on his chest listening to his heart beat slow finally they have clamed Nick lifts Kate chin to look her in the eye.
"I love you" he whispers seeing a stray tear cascade down her cheek.
"And I love you" she returns moving closer to him if at all possible.
They both fall asleep content in the knowledge that they are one. The next morning Nick awoke first to find Kate still in his arms softly as to not wake her he brushed a feel stray strands of hair out of her face. Knowing that this is were he belong, yet, also knowing that there were people he had to get back to. Nick heard her sigh and stir cuddling up closer to his warmth he saw her eyes opens then blink shut to try and get the sleepy out.
"Morning beautiful" Nick stated kissing her forehead.
"Hmm it is ended a good morning" Kate responded moving some of Nick's hair out of the way so she could look him in the eye.
Weeks later the day of Valentines Nick had made something special for Kate went she came home. As they sat down to dinner the there was a knock at the door getting up to answer. At the door there was no one the a gun shot rang out hitting flesh tearing though bone and meat. The person fell to the floor hurt and maybe die who was it that shot out was the one who was after her.

"Nick oh God Nick please be OK Nick can you hear me please" Kate cried running over to him.
She dropped down beside him watching as the blood dripped out of his shoulder.
'Thank God it's only a flesh wound he'll be sore but OK" Kate thought to herself as she run and grabbed some cloth to try and stop the bleeding and the phone to call an ambulance. Once they were there Nick was loaded in and took to the near by hospital in Boulder. The paramedic asked her if she wanted to ride along she just shook her head no and they left with the man she loved more than life it self. Walking solemnly back into the house she knew what she had to do. Gathering up what was very little of her thing's she left the house locking up looking once last time at the house she felling in love in. sighing she got in her car first stop the hospital to check on Nick. Once there she found out what room Nick was staying walking silently she saw him resting peacefully. His hair felling in his face, his beautiful blue eyes closed she kissed the top of his head softly putting down the letter so he could read later on once she had gone then whispered an I love you to him. Kate sighed then left the last thing she did was call the cops telling them she had found the missing Backstreet Boys member and were he was at. At once the others came to his side and when Nick awoke the next morning they were there to greet him.
"Hey buddy how ya feeling" Brian asked sitting next to him.
"Sore like I had worked out of days without rest where's Kate at" Nick answered looking at then all.
"Uhmm who's Kate Nick we did see anyone here when we got here" Kevin answered from the other side of Nick.
"She was here I know it I could feel her last night what's that" Nick exclaimed pointing to a piece of paper next to him on the nightstand.
"I don't know Frack it was here when we got here. Why don't you read it" Brian answered handing it to Nick.
Which he recognized the writing to be Kate reading it to himself.
