I wake up with Nick's arms firmly around me, it's like he is hanging on for dear life. I lay there hoping he'll loosen his grip, I want to get up I hate having to be quiet when others are asleep. I slide out from under his arm and end up on the floor, I giggle as I get up. Instead of the shower I opt for a bath. I close my eyes and lay back thinking about my current situation, here I am in Nick's bathroom taking a bath with him in the next room in bed. How crazy is this? I have the lights off so when the door suddenly opens I shriek,
"I'm in here." I hear Becky,
"Oh sorry, I just wanted to brush my teeth." My heart is racing,
"Oh, thats cool ,come in." I pull the shower curtain closed and lay back as she turns on the light,
"Good morning."
"Good morning, did you guys sleep well in threre?" She calls out,
"It was ok, thank goodness for those air mattresses." Too bad I can't thank God for some ear plugs to keep me from hearing her and Tommy last night,
"Thats good."
"Hey did you bring a bathing suit?" I look over at Nick,
"Who would come to the Keys without a suit?" He shrugs,
"Well put it on, we're going out on the boat in like ten minutes." I nod and look at him as he walks over and lay on the bed,
"Hello, get out so I can put it on." He looks wide-eyed at me,
"I'm comfortable, why can't you just do it?" I sigh heavily and place my hands on hips tapping my foot,
"Ugh, my sister does that and I hate it, alright I'm gone." He walks out and I strip down putting on my black and gray bikini. I put my shorts back on and decide to not wear a T-shirt. I walk out and see Becky in a yellow string bikini,
"Love your suit." I smile,
"I love yours." Nick and Tommy look at each other,
"Love your shorts." Tommy followed suit and replied,
"I love yours." They laugh and shake their heads as we shake ours and follow them out he backdoor.
Out on the boat was amazing, I haven't been on one in months, since I hung out with Elliott and some of his high roller friends. I feel something hit me in the back of the head and look down to see a piece of ice and hear Nick laughing,
"Funny." I turn back around facing the water, standing near the edge and pull off my shorts, I can't help but think back to Jane's comment about my body as I stand there in a bikini. Before I know it I'm in the air kicking and screaming,
"Put me down." I turn my head and can just see Nick holding me up,
"You need to cool off." My screaming becomes even louder and more frantic,
"Nick, no, no, don't." None if it matters as I end up in the water, for all he knows I can't swim. It's evil, I shouldn't but I can't help it. I begin to wave my arms frantically and scream,
"Help, help me." The splashing water is loud and all over the place and once I see I have their attention and my eyes lock with Nick's I allow myself to go under. Soon I feel myself being pulled back to the surface and I smile as I look at a worried Nick,
"Gotcha." He looks irritated and was about to let me go when I wrap my arms around his neck and begin to groan,
"What? What's wrong?" I shake my head,
"I have a cramp in my thigh, that's what I get for fucking around." My eyes close and I can hear him,
"Wrap your legs around me so you don't slip down." I groan as I try to but I can only wrap the good leg around him,
"I can't get the other one around, it hurts." One of his arms slides down and begins to massage my thigh,
"There?" I shake my head,
"No, higher." He shifts us around so my back is against the side of the boat helping to keep me above water just in case I slip out of his arm,
"Is that better?" My eyes finally open after a few minutes and I nod my head,
"Oh God." He begins to chuckle,
"You know that's what the last girl I was with said." I frown at him and shake my head,
"She was faking it." He rolls his eyes,
"What makes you think that?" I smile,
"Cause you're Nick Carter, she's not going to say: you're lousy and you did nothing for me. Has a girl ever NOT screamed and moaned and told you how great you were?" I can see him think about it and begin to laugh,
"And you actually think you're THAT good, EVERY time?" He shrugs,
"I know I'm not because sometimes I'm only thinking about me." He leans in closer and I would have moved back but my legs were wrapped around his waist and I was pinned between him and the boat,
"But I do know how to make a girl feel good when I want to. Are you ok now to make it on your own?" I nod and he swims back away from me,
"Especially a girl who hasn't...in two years." My breath catches in my throat as he swims away leaving me there with my mouth open wishing he wasn't kidding.
