| "Party's over everybody,"Nick bellowed as he turned the music off and lifted Howie off the ground and carried him into one of the bedrooms. Once he made sure everybody was gone, he sat down next to Melissa on the couch."You okay?" "I'm sorry Nick. I don't know what got into me." "You just wanted him to feel some of your pain. I can see you've been going through a lot in the past couple of months." "Not that he would have remembered anyway." "Don't worry about it 'Lis. You know there are groups out there for you to get help without him knowing about it." "And you know they'll be all over his problem once they know who I am." "This is true. I just hate to see you go through this alone,"he took her hand comfortingly. "Would you excuse me for a moment?"she withdrew her hand from his and found the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror for an eternity it seemed. Your husband is passed out cold in the other room and Nick is coming on stronger than a freight train. What are you talking about? You were the one that kissed him. It was just a kiss but there was something more. Something she hadn't felt since Howie's bad habits kicked in. For the first time in about three months, she felt like a woman when she felt the strength of his body surrounding her even though he pushed her away. She shouldn't be feeling this way about anyone but her husband as she cleared the thoughts from her head as she looked up to find Nick's face in the mirror. She almost jumped out of her skin at the sight of him."I didn't mean to scare you 'Lis. I just came to make sure you were okay." She turned but he wasn't moving."What are you doing Nick?" He placed a finger over her mouth."I think you know." "Nick,"she protested as his mouth captured hers. She continued protesting as his arms trapped her between himself and the sink. He felt so inviting though. Her body couldn't deny her that. His tongue continued drawing her in as he lifted her onto the counter. Her hands slithered up his chest, over his shoulders and wove her fingers into his short blonde strands as she practically begged him to take her then and there. He deserted her mouth as his lips travelled the length of her neck before she shoved him away once again. This wasn't a dream anymore. This was really happening to her."I can't Nick." |
