CHAPTER 2

”This is a nice place!” Brian exclaimed, walking into her apartment.

”Yeah, it’s nice and only $450 a month” Nicole replied, setting her keys on a table near the door.

”WOW, that’s cheap, my house was close to a million dollars” Brian joked. Brian walked over to her couch and laid down.

”So Nicole, what do you do for a living?” Brian asked, trying to make conversation. Nicole walked over and sat on the love seat next to the couch.

”I go to UWM” Nicole replied.

”And you don’t work? How do you pay for this?” Brian questioned.

”My parents pay rent, schooling and I work during the summer so I buy food and books” Nicole responded. Brian turned on the TV, after surfing for what seemed like forever, turned on ESPN.

”Brian, I don’t want to watch basketball” Nicole exclaimed. She grabbed the remote from him and turned on Who Wants To Be a Millionare.

”And I want to watch this?” Brian asked. Nicole laughed and turned off the TV. Brian’s stomach growled and Nicole stood up.

”Do you want something to eat?” Nicole asked. Brian jumped up and followed Nicole to the kitchen.

”If I would have known you were coming I would have gone grocery shopping” She explained, looking through the cabinets.

”I’ll eat anything” Brian laughed. Nicole pulled out 2 Old Milwaukee beers and a box of mac n’ cheese.

”See, I had to study tonight so I was just going to cook myself dinner, So we have mac n’ cheese and beer” Nicole exclaimed.

”You read my mind” Brian replied. Nicole started to cook the noodles while Brian walked back into the living room.

”Hey, how about I take a shower while you cook” Brian suggested. Nicole walked out of the Kitchen and ran down the hall.

”Lemme turn it on for you” Nicole explained. She shut the bathroom door and Brian walked into a room. He pulled off his shirt and his pants-leaving only his boxers on. When Nicole walked out of the bathroom Brian stood smiling at her.

”Can you pop this into the wash?” Brian asked. Nicole shrugged and started to walk away. Brian walked into the bathroom and took off his boxers, then stuck his hand out.

”Hold up, take these too” Brian exclaimed. Nicole took his boxers and walked down the hall to the washroom.


“Brian, foods ready” Nicole yelled. Nicole turned on the radio to hear NSYNC “Bye Bye Bye”. Brian walked into the kitchen with a towel around his waist. Water dripped from his hair and fell onto his shoulder. Nicole gulped, then smiled at him.

”What the hell is this shit?” Brian asked.

”This is a cool song Brian” Nicole replied. She threw Brian a beer and handed him a bowl of mac n’ cheese.

”This song sucks, no beat at all,” Brian muttered, sitting down at the table.

”Just hit me with the truth, boy your more than welcome to, so just give me one good reason,baby c;mon, I live for you and me, but now I’ve really come to see” Nicole sang. She swayed her hips a little while she walked to the table.

”Cute” Brian joked. He smiled at her sweetly. Nicole was about to melt under his smile, but took a breath and sat down.


”That was good” Brian exclaimed.

”Thanks, It takes a lot of knowlodge to make mac ‘n cheese” Nicole joked. Brian helped her clean off the dishes than sat on the couch.

”let me check the dryer, so you can leave” Nicole explained. Brian grabbed her arm.

”I hate to ask this, but I hate hotels, there so boring, and I’m having fun, could I just sleep on the couch?” Brian asked. He wants to stay! Nicole thought smiling.

”If you want to” Nicole replied. “I think that Krissie’s boyfriend Dan has some extra clothes in her room”

”Cool, that’ll be great” Brian replied. She walked down the hall trying to control her hands from shaking. Brian Littrell was sleeping in HER apartment. She opened the door and grabbed a shirt and some boxers. She was walking out when she saw an issue of seventeen sitting on a chair. On the cover was Jennifer Love, Brian had been dating her for about 2 years. Her smile turned into a frown as she walked back into the living room.

”I need to get something in my room-so you can just change here” Nicole explained, handing Brian the clothes and walking into her room.
