| "Can I come with?" "Why don't we wait until she's alive to the world for you to see her okay?" "Okay." "Make yourself comfortable,"she trotted off to Suzie's room. She stripped down to the lingerie after she settled Suzie down. She cleared her throat as Nick rose from his kneeling position in front of the stereo. "Wow!"he softly exclaimed. "Not exactly pink,"she addressed the color of her dusty rose nightie. "Close enough,"He drew her silken form against himself lavishing her with all the attention his kiss could hold. Had he really restrained himself all these months just for her? God it felt so good to have male companionship. The broad barrier of his chest, the strong arms gently caressing every inch he could reach. It was as though they couldn't keep their hands off each other. Hadn't this gotten them in trouble before. He stopped and breathlessly inquired,"Cind?" "Yeah?"she responded as she concentrated on removing the obstacle of his shirt. "Stop for a second." "It's okay,"she paused and looked up into his big blue eyes."I'm covered." "You're covered?" "I learned my lesson the last time this happened." "So we're covered?" "Are you gonna repeat everything I say or are you gonna ravage me like you promised?" He swept her up off the floor."Tell me something Cindy?" "I've wanted you ever since the day you left me sitting in my hotel room in Florida." "That wasn't it but it's nice to know we shared that moment. Aren't we supposed to be friends?" "We could never be just friends. I like whatever it is we have going on right now." "Me too." Cindy woke up to the ringing phone but an empty bed. She groggily inquired,"Hello?" "Hello Cindy. You wouldn't happen to be hiding a spare Backstreet Boy over your way would you?"Grace inquired. "I thought I was,"She looked around the room. She saw remnants of the strewn clothing around the room. She knew it hadn't been a dream. She didn't smell anything cooking and she didn't hear the shower water running. "What do you mean?" "He's here somewhere. I just don't know where." "What are you talking about?" "What time is it?" "Time for you to get your ass out of bed dear. It's eight A.M. Isn't your adorable little darling usually up by now?" "Yes she is. Hang on just a minute,"she threw the sweats and T-shirt back over herself and picked up the phone."I'm back. I'm searching the house right,"she cut herself off mid sentence. Her heart stuck in her throat at the sight before her. Nick was sound asleep with Suzie resting against his body; her little fingers tangled in his hair. She's never taken to a man like this except for my Father and Brother. She resisted the onslaught of emotion. She brushed away a stray bunch of hair from his forehead and lightly kissed it. She quietly exited the room and took one more look. He had to be the one. Even if he wasn't her Daddy biologically, he would be in every other sense. |
| "Are you still there Cin?" "I'm sorry." "The lost is found I'm assuming." She sighed as she made her way toward the kitchen."Yeah." "Something's up." "Yeah." "What?" "I wish I had a camera to take a picture of Grace. He must have heard her in the middle of the night and went into take care of her. They just looked too sweet together,"she grinned on her end of the connection as she started brewing a pot of coffee. "Hold up. He spent the night?" "You sound so surprised about it Grace." "I am considering what happened last time." "I learned my lesson from last time. We were as protected as you can get. I even had him wear the full body armor,"She made light of Grace's distress. "Not funny." "Oh come on Grace. Did you expect me to remain a vestile virgin until the day I found someone to marry me? I know you certainly aren't having a white wedding." "And how would you know that?" "By the way Howie always touches you and wraps his arms around you. He can't resist touching you girl. It's not a big deal. I'm the only one who knows so far and even if I'm not, let your Father give you away believing you're his sweet little angel as he hands you over to the man that desires you every chance he gets." "You win this one." "So other than my daily lecture, what do I owe this early morning call?" She hesitated and then spoke."The best man is up to no good again." |
