Its flag football time, Nick, Leighanne and Elliott ended up on Brian's team and I ended up on Kevin's team with Kristin, Lisa and Sammy; the rest of the people on the teams I couldn't begin to name. I think Brian and Nick thought I was a girly girl but I've shown them since. Kevin tosses me the ball and instead of pulling my flag Nick practically tackles me. As Nick ended up on top of me I can hear Kevin screaming,
"It's FLAG football Nick, be careful, you're gonna break her neck and we'll have to pay for it." I laugh as I look at his face full of anxiety,
"Are you ok?" Through deep breaths I let him know,
"Yeah but I think you elbowed me in the forehead." He leans down and kisses me on the forehead and we hear the ahh's from everyone. Nick jumps up and pulls me up,
"Oh shut up." Leighanne walks by as Nick runs back over to the team huddle,
"You and Nick look cute together...you get along very well. Reminds me of me and Brian." I smile and was about to tell her Nick and I are just friends but she was called back to her huddle before I had a chance.
We're sitting around at one of the picnic tables when Nick, beer in hand, walks over and makes a motion with his head for me to get up. I figure we're about to go somewhere but instead he takes my place on the bench, I was about to say something until he patted his knee then pointed at it. Does he want me to...? I frown slightly as a couple of people watch us wondering what was going on then I sit on his lap. He places his hand on my lower back and I look over to see a couple of 'the suits', as AJ call them, looking over at us. As we all talk about everything from movies and music to families and friends my neck begins to kill me. I roll my neck around a few times and then I feel Nick's hand slide up my back and begin to massage my neck. I look down at him,
"Feel good?" I nod and he winks at me and continues while talking to Elliott about coming to Miami and stopping in his store when he's there. Can I just say there is something very hot about him drinking from a beer bottle, man I got it bad.
We make it back to the hotel, Elliott and I head back to our room to take showers,
"You have fun today?" He looks over at me momentarily then goes back to looking through his suitcase,
"Yeah, I did, they're all nice people. I'm glad I came. I've been around some celebrities who aren't bigger than them who have major attitude, you should see the way they act in the store." I nod as I kick off my shoes and pull off my socks,
"Yeah." He sits next to me as I wiggle out of my T-shirt,
"So, you look like you had a great time, especially the times you were around Nick." I open my eyes and look over at him,
"I did have fun and what does the Nick comment mean?" He places his hand on my thigh,
"Sweetie, every now and then I would look over and you were looking at him like a seventh grader with a crush on her English teacher."
