~*Chapter 61*~
A few days later,Amy dropped by the beach house to see how Nick was
doing.She hadn't heard from him in a couple days and she was kinda worried.
Once Nick had let her in,she smiled at him."How've you been?I haven't
heard from you in a few days," she replied.
He poured himself a glass of iced tea."I'm sorry I haven't called or
anything.I've been busy getting ready for the tour," he told her.
She noticed he didn't look at her when he said that,which meant he was
lying.She knew him too well and there was something going on that he wasn't
telling her.She had an idea about what it was too.She gazed at him.
"Nick,talk to me here.You're still thinking about what happened the other
day.Am I right?," she asked.
He was quiet for a moment before turning to her.His eyes were sparkling
with unshed tears.
"I won't lie to you,Amy.I enjoyed what happened between us~but at the
same time I was beating myself up over it because I felt so unfaithful to
Blane.I know she's gone,but I'm still married to her,and I felt so guilty
afterwards.I really like you,Amy.I'm just so confused right now.Blane hasn't
even been gone for three months,and I'm already into someone else."
Amy wrapped her arms around him."I know you'll never forget
Blane,Nick.But there comes a time after you lose someone you love when you
have to move on with your life.And I think Blane would want you to be
happy,and not sitting around missing her all the time," she said.She gazed up
into his eyes and gave him a gentle smile."Know what I mean?"
Nick smiled,and she ran her fingers through his hair."Yeah.I don't mean
to be a downer.It's just...," he began,but she cut him off by placing her
finger over his mouth.
She grinned at him."Ssshh.You need to give your mouth a rest,Nicky.You
talk too much," she tossed at him,and reached down and tickled his stomach.
He went to grab her hands but she darted away and ran from the room.He
chased after her and caught her when she tripped and fell on the couch.
"Now you have nowhere to run.And I an give you a taste of your own
medicine now," he said,and began to tickle her.She screamed.
He had his full weight on top of her,pinning her down so she couldn't
escape.
She felt him against her thigh,and a shiver of excitement ran through her
body.
Realizing what was happening,he stopped tickling her and stood up.He
looked emberrassed,and she got up and wrapped her arms around him.
"It's OK,Nick.I liked it," she told him."In fact,I loved it."
And with that,she pulled his face down to hers and kissed him.At first he
resisted,but soon found himself kissing her with intensity.
He reached over and put his finger underneath her chin,as his tongue
explored every inch of her mouth.She brought her hand up and rested it on his
arm,as the kiss became more intense.
A low moan escaped his throat,as he felt himself become more excited.He
suddenly found himself wanting her so bad it scared him.He pulled away from
her and gazed into her eyes.He didn't need to say anything;she knew how he
felt at that exact moment.
"It's OK,Nick.I'll take your mind off her," she whispered,and began to
kiss him again.
They made their way to the bedroom,kissing the entire way,and when the
door was closed,he reached over and unbuttoned her blouse.It fell onto the
floor,and he bent over and began to kiss her neck,trailing his kisses from
her neck,down to her throat,and finally up to her mouth.They kissed hungrily
as she undressed him.Finally,he stood before her wearing only his boxers.
He reached down and removed her skirt,and then reached around and
unhooked her bra,and they fell onto the bed.He brought his lips to her
nipples and gently began to nibble,causing her to moan in pleasure.
He reached down and began to stroke her,feeling her wetness through the
fabric of her cotton underwear.He moved down and began to kiss her stomach,as
he fingered her underwear and gazed up at her.
She giggled.He removed her underwear and rested his full weight on top of
her.
She could feel him between her legs,and she opened herself up to him.
He lifted himself up,and a second later entered into her,making her cry
out his name.
He didn't move at first,just simply gazed down into her eyes.
She rested her hands on his shoulders and whispered,"Make love to me
Nick.I want you so bad."
He gently began his slow,methodic thrusts,moving in and out of her so
easily and expertly that she begged for more.
After awhile,they changed positions,and Amy made such incredible love to
him that he couldn't get enough.
After several hours,they both fell into each other's arms ,totally
exhausted and spent.
Nick wrapped his arms around her.He couldn't believe the events of the
past several hours.And he felt good about it,not bad.He knew Amy had been
right when she had said Blane would have wanted him to be happy and not
grieve over her forever.
Amy turned and gazed up at him,and he leaned down and brushed his lips
against hers.
"I never thought you would be that amazing," she breathed,as she turned
onto her back and gazed up at him.
He kissed her again."I can give a repeat performance,if you'd like," he
murmered.
She pulled him on top of her."Go for it,Nicky," she remarked,and he
leaned down and began kissing her again....
~*Chapter 62*~
Brian and Karen were hanging out at the pool in his backyard.It was a
beautiful day,and Brian couldn't help but admire her in her dark blue bikini.
She cuaght him looking at her again and threw her magazine at him."Will
you stop drooling,B~rock?," she tossed at him.
He got up and walked over to her."I can't help myselfKaren.You look so
awesome in that bikini," he remarked.He leaned over and began to kiss her,and
she wrapped her legs around him.
She finally pulled away from him and dived into the pool.He jumped in
after her and grabbed her around the waist,pulling her to him.
They were in the middle of an intimate kiss when the gate to the backyard
flew open,and Kevin and Howie walked toward them,followed by Kelly and Kari.
"Hey cousin!Can't you ever behave yourself?," Kevin tossed at him,and
Brian and Karen pulled apart and climbed out of the pool.
The girls all went off by themselves.
A few minutes later Erica and AJ arrived,followed by Nick and
Amy.Everyone was surprised to see Amy.
The guys only had to take one look at Nick to know what was going on.
Amy went and joined the girls.This was the first time she had hung out
with them.The girls all smiled at her,all except one,as she sat down with
them.
"Hey.Have you and Nick been hanging out all day?," Karen asked,as she
took a sip of her iced tea.
Amy grinned."You could say that," she remarked.
There was a moment of silence before Erica said,"I see you finally got
your claws in him." She never had liked Amy~she thought she was just using
Nick.And she had disliked her even more ever since Amy had attempted to break
Nick and Blane apart.
Amy raised an eyebrow at her."What's that supposed to mean?," she
asked,an edge to her voice.
Erica glared at her."You know exactly what it means,Amy.We all know
you've been after Nick for awhile now,and did anything you could think of to
break him and Blane apart.I don't like seeing my friends used.You only went
after him because you know he's still vulnerable from losing Blane," she
remarked.
There was silence,as Amy and Erica continued to glare at each other.Right
when Amy was about to say something,Nick walked up to them.
"I'm sorry you feel that way,Erica," he said,his voice cold and flat."But
I don't think it's your place to say what goes on in my life."
Erica faced him."I'm sorry,Nick,but that's the way I feel.I watched you
get used and abused by Mandy,and I won't watch it happen again," she said.
Nick glared at her."I'm happy for the first time since Blane died.I'm
sorry you can't accept that.Come on,Amy.Let's go," he replied,grabbing Amy's
hand and walking away.
AJ turned to Erica."Why couldn't you have kept your mouth shut
Erica?Nick's very sensitive right now," he said.
Erica placed her hands on her hips."She is not the right girl for him.You
and I both know that AJ," she tossed at him.
AJ sighed."I actually Like Amy,Erica.She's a very nice girl," he told her.
Erica shook her head."I can't believe you.I'm outta here," she
declared,and grabbed her towel and flounced away.
Brian sighed."Well,there goes our party," he muttered,and threw himself
into a nearby chair.
AJ turned to him."Sorry,man,but I gotta go.She's been very moody
lately,and I'm gonna go find out what's going on.See you later," he said,and
left.
Howie,Karen,Kari,Brian,and Kelly all continued on with the party,trying
to forget what had just happened.
~*Chapter 63*~
AJ walked into the house after Erica.They hadn't spoken the entire way
home.Now she turned to him and threw her arms around his neck.
"Oh AJ.I'm sorry.I didn't mean to act liek that," she replied,as tears
began to fall down her face.
AJ pulled away from her and gazed at her."Erica,you've been acting unlike
yourself alot lately.Is everything OK?It's not like you to act the way you
did,even toward someone you don't like," he said.
Erica sniffed."I have a good reason,and I swear I was going to tell you.I
was just waiting for the right time," she said.
He waited for her to continue.
"AJ,I'm pregnant.We're going to have another baby," she told him.
His mouth fell open."Are you sure?You've been to the doctor?," he asked.
She nodded."Yeah.I went a few weeks ago.I was afraid to tell you because
I didn't know how you'd react," she told him.
He wrapped her in his arms."I'm happy of course,Erica.Why wouldn't I
be?," he asked.
She gazed up at him."We agreed we were going to wait awhile,until Taylor
was a little older," she said.
He leaned over and kissed her."So our plans got changed.Big deal.We'll
manage," he reassured her.He grinned."I'm gonna be a daddy again."
She smiled."We're well on our way to having the family we always dreamed
about," she replied.
He rubbed his hand up and down her arm."Don't ever be afriad to tell me
anything,OK?"
She nodded,and he kissed her again before wrapping her in his arms.
~*Chapter 64*~
"Amy,you have to ignore Erica.Sometimes she doesn't think before she
speaks," Nick said as they walked into the beach house.
Amy spun on him."As far as I'm concerned,Erica can go to hell.I refuse to
be around someone who thinks she's so high and mighty," she told him.
Nick placed his hands on her shoulders."Amy,calm yourself," he
replied,but she pulled away from him.
"Nick,did you make love to me today because you truly care about me,or
simply because you hadn't had any for awhile and just wanted a good romp in
the sack?," she asked.
Nick stepped toward her."Amy,how could you ask me something like that?I
did it because I care about you," he answered.
She shook her head."I just want to make sure you really care about
me,Nick,and you're not just using me to get a piece of ass to satisfy your
male desires," she tossed at him.
Nick stared at her."I'm hurt you would even say something like
that,Amy.When we made love before,it was the first time since Blane died that
I was totally focused on someone else besides her.I don't know what I have to
do to show you my feelings for you are real,and I'm not just using you for a
good screw," he replied.
Amy wrapped her arms around him."I'm sorry,Nick.Let's not fight," she
said.She pulled away and gazed up at him."I guess Erica just upset me with
what she said."
Nick gave her a gentle smile."Like I said,Erica doesn't think before she
speaks.You just have to learn to ignore her," he told her.
She pulled his face down to hers and kissed him,as he leaned himself
against her.She felt him against her leg,and grinned up at him.
"Boy,Nicky.It doesn't take much,does it?," she asked,and he blushed.
They began kissing again,and a few minutes later she pulled away."I gotta
get going," she told him,and he moaned.
She smiled."Save THIS," she remarked,rubbing her hand along the front of
his pronounced bulge,"for tonight,because I'll be back."
She turned and left then,leaving him standing there aching for her in
every possible way.....
~*Chapter 65*~
When Howie and Kari arrived home a few hours later,Kari wrapped her arms
around him.
He kissed the top of her head."You feeling OK?," he asked,rubbing his
hand up and down her back.He led her over to the couch and she sat in his
lap,resting her head on his shoulder.
She sighed."I'm just so exhausted," she said,closing her eyes.
Howie looked down and saw she had fallen asleep,and he scooped her up in
his arms and carried her to the bedroom.Once he had laid her down,he stripped
down to his boxers and crawled into bed next to her.She stirred a few minutes
later and looked over at him.
"I'm sorry.Didn't mean to fall asleep on you," she said.
He shrugged."No big deal," he replied.
She crawled on top of him and kissed him."I'm feeling kinda frisky right
now," she told him,trailing her kisses down his throat."Are you?"
He nodded slowly as their lips met again,and he slowly removed her
clothes.Their lovemaking began a few minutes later,and for the next couple
hours,they proved their undying love to one another.
Afterwards,they lay in each other's arms.Kari sighed happily."You make me
feel so good," she said,as he kissed her forehead.
They talked for awhile longer,before their lovemaking began once again....
