Chapter 28

The phone rang again and Brian and Angela were both getting a bit annoyed.  They just wanted some time to themselves.  "Not again!" Angela managed to get out in between kisses.
 

"Hold on," Brian said.  "I'll put an end to this." He reached over and pulled the plug out of the phone jack.
 

"No more phone ringing.  I like the sound of that," Angela whispered.

At the hospital....

"I was disconnected for some reason," Nick said, as he reentered Krista's room.
 

"Oh well.  Let's get out of here.  Thanks for everything Dr. Robertson."
 

"No problem," she smiled as they left.
  

When they got to Nick's car, Krista said,"I just wanna thank you for being there for me.  It means alot."
 

"Don't worry about it.  I'd do it for you again and again."
 

She smiled and gave him a small, but sweet kiss before they started home.

 

***

The following morning, Angela woke up and rolled over to see that Brian was still asleep.  She smiled at the thought of last night.  Her love for Brian grew even more.  She didn't know that it was possible to be any more in love.
 

She leaned over and placed a soft kiss on his lips to wake him up.   His eyes fluttered and he looked over at her.  "Good morning Princess."

"Morning," she smiled at him.
 

"No regrets?"
   

"Absolutely none.  You?"
   

"I wouldn't have had it any other way."
   

 "Well," she said, getting out of bed.  "I'm going to take a shower."
 

"While you're doing that, I'm gonna cook you breakfast."
 

"Brian Littrell, you are too much!"
 

"I know," he grinned and left the room.

 

Later that day...

"Where are they?" Krista wondered.  She had rung the doorbell about five times and no one answered.  But she knew that they were in there.  "Why did I leave my key in the house?"

 "Why do you keep asking questions that I can't answer?" Nick mocked her.
 

"Oh, shut up!" she said as she elbowed him playfully.

 Just then, Brian opened the door.  "Hey guys!  Come on in!"
 

"I love how I have to get invited into my own house," she remarked.
  

"I figured you would," Brian replied.
 

"So where's Angela?" Krista asked.
 

"And what happened last night?" Nick added.
   

"That's what I should be asking," Angela said, coming out of her bedroom. She saw Krista's thumb and ran over to her.  "You poor thing!  Did that bowling ball eat you up?" she teased as she hugged Krista.
  

Krista pulled away and smacked her.  "Yes, it did.  And thanks for being so concerned."
 

"Hey!  I was very concerned!  Nick told us that we didn't need to come to the hospital.  The situation sounded so funny over the phone.  I mean look at Brian; he laughed until he cried."  Angela pointed toward her boyfriend.
 

"Hmmm.  I recall that you were the one crying from laughing so hard," Brian said.
 

"Maybe I did," she admitted, sitting down between Brian's legs.  "You wanna tell us the whole story now?"
 

"I suppose so," Krista replied.  She and Nick both sat on the couch.
 

They told their story over again, but in detail this time.  Brian and Angela were both rolling on the floor in laughter.  They didn't even try to hold it back.  Krista would have been mad at the fact that they were laughing at her, but when she thought about it, the situation did sound funny.

 "So tell me," Nick started.  "Why was I disconnected from you guys last night?"
 

"I unplugged the phone," Brian answered.
 

"Why?" he pressed.
 

"We were busy," Angela answered for Brian.
 

"Doing what?" Krista asked curiously.
 

Angela and Brian looked at each other and turned deep shades of red. They didn't exactly want to discuss what happened between the two of them with Krista and Nick.
 

"Oh you didn't!" Krista exclaimed.

 They both looked away, very embarrassed and turning even redder still.

 "Well, well, well.  I guess you two were pretty busy last night," Nick teased.  Krista just smirked at her boyfriend's smart remark.
    

"Perhaps," Angela said.
 

"Well, not to cut this embarrassing moment short or anything, but I believe that we have a meet-n-greet and a meeting with management today?" Brian looked straight at Nick when he said this.
 

"OK, OK," Nick said in surrender.  He turned to give Krista a kiss and got up to leave.
 

"I'll call you later," Brian said to Angela, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and left.
 

"So are you gonna tell me what happened?" Krista gushed.
 

"Most of it.  I'm sure that Brian wouldn't appreciate it if I told you everything," Angela laughed at her.
 

"Alright."

    

Angela sighed with contentment and proceeded to share with her best friend her feelings and dreams for this relationship.
