*~*Chapter 12*~*

Blane was packing Sunday afternoon when Nick snuck up behind her.She spun around and smacked him on the arm. "Don't sneak up on me like that," she tossed at him and laughed. He smiled at her."I like sneaking up on you and scaring the shit out of you," he teased her,his eyes sparkling. She melted at the way he was looking at her,and tossed him a sly grin."Oh yeah?Well,I guess I'll just have to do this then," she said,and began to tickle his very ticklish tummy. "Oh no you don't!," he exclaimed,laughing,trying to pull away from her,but she had ahold of him and he couldn't break free."Stop!You know how ticklish I am!" She laughed as she continued to tickle him."That's why I'm doing it," she said. He finally broke free of her and pointed a finger at her,still laughing."You better watch yourself girl," he warned her. She took off running then,and he went after her.He chased her around the house,and finally caught up to her and pulled her against him,and he began to tickle her. "STOP!," she screamed,as they fell onto the couch. He shook his head."Oh no.It's time to give you a taste of your own medicine," he tossed at her,not letting up on his tickling. She was finally able to grab hold of his arms and pull them away from her.She laughed."Now I got'cha," she remarked. He shook his head."Oh yeah?," he asked,as he slowly moved his face down to hers. "Yeah.Now you're all mine," she told him,as his mouth found hers and his tongue found it's way into her mouth. She moaned at the feel of his mouth against hers.She reached up and pulled his shirt off,then he slowly brought his lips down to her neck and began to kiss the soft flesh.She moaned again. She reached down and removed his shorts and he slid his hand underneath her skirt and began to stroke her upper thigh.He could feel her wetness between the thin fabric of her cotton panties and knew she was ready for him. He removed her blouse and brought his lips to the top of her breasts.She sat up and he snaked his fingers to her bra clasp and slowly undid it.It fell to the floor,and he brought his lips to her exposed breasts,sending shivers through her body. She laid herself back down,and lifted herself up so he could remove her skirt and panties.Once he had,she reached down and removed his boxers,and he laid down on top of her,resting himself between her legs,begging for her. "Oh Nicky," she whispered,as he gazed down at her,both of them breathing heavily. She opened herself up to him then,and he slid inside of her,and began his gentle thrusts.She sighed and tilted her head back,and he brought his lips to her neck. They were so intent on their lovemaking that they didn't hear the phone ring about a half hour later. Nick groaned."Let's not answer it," he murmered,still intent on travelling kisses all over her body. When the phone continued to ring,he finally reached over and grabbed it off the hook. "Yeah?," he answered,and leaned over and began to kiss her again.He was still inside of her,and she was aching for his release. A moment later he pulled out of her and sat up."Yeah man.We'll be there soon.OK,bye," he said,and hung up.He turned to her."Everyone's staying at Kevin and Kelly's place tonight so we can all go to the boat together in the morning," he told her. She reached up and ran her fingers through his damp hair."Oh darn.I wanted to have you all to myself until we left," she told him. He smiled as he leaned over and kissed her."It's nice to have you back," he murmered. She sat up and began to pull her clothes on,and he did the same. He threw her a grin and said,"We'll have alot of time together on the cruise." She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him."Can't wait," she whispered. They finished packing their stuff then,and headed over to Kevin's place to join the others.
*~Chapter 13~*
Erica and AJ were sitting on Kevin's couch,talking.Erica was upset because they had just dropped Taylor off at Denise's. "Baby,try not to think about her.If you do nothing but think of her the entire trip,you'll have a terrible time," he told her. Just then,Kari,Blane,and Kelly walked up to them.AJ smiled at them. "Think you can try to put a smile back on this beautiful woman's face?," he asked them. Blane nodded."We can sure try," she remarked,and pulled Erica to her feet.They disappeared into the other room,leaving the guys to themselves. Brian was sitting on the couch next to Karen,who was acting shy around everyone.Nick smiled at her. "We don't bite,you know," he joked,and she laughed. "I know.It's not everyday that I get to hang out with my favorite band,though.I apologize," she said. AJ waved his hand at her."It's no problem.We're used to being admired," he told her. She laughed again,and Kevin said,"Tell us about yourself." She blushed."What do you want to know?," she asked."I'm 24 and I grew up in Orlando." Nick gazed at her."We hear you're having problems with an ex~boyfriend.Have you contacted the police?," he asked her. She nodded."I have,yes,but they never seem to do anything to help.He keeps coming back and I just can't get rid of him," she answered. Nick came over and sat down next to her."I was in an abusive relationship myself,and finally I just stood up to her and told her it had to stop," he said. She was quiet as she thought about his words.Finally,she turned to him."I know I should face up to him,but I'm scared," she confessed. He squeezed her hand."We'll help you any way we can," he promised her,as she turned to Brian and he folded her into his arms.
