| �I like that.� His lips softly brushed mine and I sighed. Nope, his kisses did not have the same drugging effect. His tongue snaked out, seeking access to mine and I was not going to deny him. Maybe just a taste and I could�no, felt nothing. He pulled me and lifted me up out of the chair, his hands roaming my back, softly cupping my ass and pulling me tight against his body. �Anyone home?� I turned and looked at AJ and he stepped into the living room. �Woah, I�m sorry. I just saw the lights on and the front door was open. I�ll just�� �No, it�s okay man. Stay a while, Theresa needs to get back to work anyways.� I smiled and nodded my head. What a sight to see. I plopped down in my seat and sighed as the two men left. �God, I hated this.� ~*~ Uh-uh-uh-uh/ I see a lot in your look and I never say a word/ I know how n****s start actin� trippin�, and hate up all the girls/ And there�s no way Nelly go for it/ Ain�t f***in� with no dame, as you could see/ But I-I like your steeze, your style, your whole demeanor/ The way you come through and holler, and swoop me in his two-seater/ Now that�s gangsta and I got special ways to thank ya, don�t you forget it / But it ain�t that easy for you to back up and leave him/ But you and me we got ties for different reasons/ I respect that and right before I turned to leave/ She said, �You don�t know what you mean to me,� come on ~*~ I printed out the last pages and with the pen in my mouth, walked around the room, reading over the writing, editing what I had too. I dropped down on the couch as I scratched out something and rewrote and I heard someone laugh. �Sounded better the other way.� I looked up at Alex and smiled. �Thank you for that vote, but I think it sounds good this way.� �Suit yourself, you�re the writer.� �Right, and what I say goes.� He smiled at me. �Does he ever read your writing?� I glanced at AJ and than over at the TV. Had Brian ever read my work? No, he said romance bored him. I let him read certain stuff, but he would just make a face and handed the papers back and said it sounded good. AJ, on the other hand, I caught him reading my latest book. In fact, the other day I was having lunch with him and noticed he owned a few of my books. �No, he doesn�t.� �That�s to bad for him. He could have learned a lot about you.� �What do you mean?� He grabbed my hand and gently kissed each finger. �I know you put yourself in the characters. Your stories express you very nicely. That�s why I like your writing. You have such detail in your stories, I get lost just picturing it. Of course, you�re the only romance writer I have in my library.� I laughed at that simple comment. �Thank you. You�re amongst the first to notice that. Even my publisher has yet to figure that out.� �So, what is this?� �This is how I�m telling Brian it�s over. It�s a story about the three of us.� He just looked at me and I took a deep breath. He could object but yet I knew he wouldn�t. �Hey you two.� I smiled up at Brian and leaned back against his chest as he sat behind me. I dropped the papers to my lap and he glanced quickly at them, reading a few lines. ~*~ No matter what I do/ All I think about is you/ Even when I�m with my Boo/ Boy, you know I�m crazy over you/ No matter what I do/ All I think about is you/ Even when I�m with my Boo/ You know I�m crazy over you/ Sing it for me, K/ I love and I need you/ Nelly, I love you, I do/ And it�s more than you�ll ever know/ Boy, it�s for sure/ You can always count on my love/ Forever more, yeah, yeah ~*~ Before I could stop him, he snatched up the papers and I watched as his eyes read over the writing. I heard him suck in a breath as I realized he read it all. �This is the story idea you had Theresa?� �Yes.� �Sounds very much like real life.� I glanced at AJ and than turned towards Brian. No use in denying it now. �It is. In fact, that�s how I�m feeling right now.� �And I take it this about all of us? You falling in love with my friend over there?� he asked, nodding his head towards AJ. �Yes, it is.� �I don�t believe you. This is why I didn�t want you two to met damn it. AJ, you can�t keep anything to yourself can you?� �Hey now, don�t start in on me Brian.� �Why not? You slept with the woman I loved.� �Brian, stop. Think about what you�re saying. Do you honestly love me?� He stopped talking and stared at me. �Are you saying I don�t?� �In a sense, yes, I am. You know, I think we hooked up for the wrong reasons. I was good with James and after Leighanne, you need someone to love, someone to be by you, and I was perfect for the job. The divorce wasn�t even final before we fell in love and got together. I think you still care for her, but I don�t think you were ready to fall in love. As for me, you treated me so well. After my last boyfriend, how could I say no to you? You were prefect, but we were different. You were the good kind and you can�t deny that. I like being crazy, being unique and you and I both know it was something you weren�t too fond of.� �So, where does that leave us?� I just looked at him and smiled. �That leaves us as friends. Which, is really what we were. We both know it would have ended at some point in time. I wasn�t quite what you needed and you weren�t what I needed.� He sighed and hung his head. I bite my lip, not even knowing AJ left. �I�m sorry to see it end though.� �Don�t be. Just think, I helped you to move on and you helped me.� �How?� �You taught me there were still good guys left in the world.� He smiled and I smiled back. I softly kissed his lips and moved back. �I�m going to go.� �You want the house?� �No, I think I have another one. I do love you Brian.� �And I love you too Theresa.� I waved and left the house, walking down to the house I knew so very well. ~*~ East coast, I know you�re shakin� right/ Down south, I know you�re bouncin� right/ West coast, I know you�re walkin� right/ (�Cause you don�t know what you mean to me)/ Midwest, I see you swingin� right/ No matter what I do/ All I think about is you/ Even when I�m with my Boo/ Boy, you know I�m crazy over you/ No matter what I do/ All I think about is you/ Even when I�m with my Boo/ You know I�m crazy over you ~*~ I stopped outside his door and knocked. He opened it and I smiled. �I have to tell you something Alex.� |
