�Howie, for crying out loud, she�s your sister?�
�And your point Nickolas?�
�Why is she so hard to get along with?�  Howie gazed at his sister, her long her blowing in the soft breeze.
�I don�t find her hard to get along with it.�
�I do.  And she�s my girl!�
�Nick, chill man.  What happened?�
�She�s annoying.  I mean, I came home late last night, you know that, right?  My mom need something and I promised her I would go over to help her.  But when I got home, I saw the candles on the table, the wine in the bucket, and nice plates all sitting out.  She cooked for me and she was mad as can be.  And when I explained what happened, she didn�t believe me and said I was probably at some girls house.�
�Woah, Nick, buddy, she cooked for you?  My sister?�
�Yeah.�
�Man, she don�t cook for no one.  It�s a rare occasion when she does.�  Nick sighed and gazed at her.  �Do you love her?�
�More than anything.�
�Than show her, go talk to her.�  Nick glanced at Howie and smiled.

I stood there, glancing at the ocean, enjoying the summer day.  It wasn�t to hot, and that was unusual for Florida.  I sighed, thinking about last night and Nick. 
�Theresa.�  I turned around and smiled at AJ.
�Alex, how are you doing?�  I gave him and a hug and he smiled back.
�I�m fine and yourself?�
�Just fine, I suppose.�
�What happened?�
�Do you know what last night was Alex?�  AJ thought about it for a moment and smiled.
�Should have been yours and Nick�s one year anniversary.�
�It was.  And I had this wonderful evening planned.  Had the wine, the candles, and Alex, I even cooked for him.�  I sighed and rubbed my arms.  �But he didn�t come home until 1 this morning.  He hurt me so badly Alex.  And he doesn�t understand why, says I�m annoying.�
�He�s young Theresa.�
�Meaning what AJ?�  He turned around and we saw Nick standing there.
�Woah, hey buddy.�
�Hey, everything okay?�
�Yeah, just making sure Resa is fine.  I�ll call you later Theresa.�  He gave me a quick hug and walked over to Howie.
�What�s with him?�
�What do you mean Nick?�
�Is he hitting on my chick?�  I rolled my eyes and shook my head.  �What?�
�No, he�s not hitting on me.  He�s being a friend.  Maybe you could take a hint and learn from him.�
�What does that mean?�
�Nick, you know, I know you�re busy, I take that in stride.  I know you have fans who love you and try to get to you in any way, and I deal with it.  And I can understand you�re a little slow on understanding things.  What I will not understand it this, if you love me, as much as you say you do, how can you blow off one year of being together as if it�s nothing?�
�What?�
�Nick, yesterday was one year together.  Not that fuckin� hard to understand blondie!�  I turned my back on him and caught up with the other guys.  I felt Howie place his arm around my shoulders and I smiled at him.

I walked backstage, hearing the numerous screams coming for all the gals, and guys, out in that crowd.  The Boys had them rockin� to every song, and after all, it was their job.  I smiled, loving this power of seeing them from the backstage.  I watched as they all ran back and into their dressing rooms.  Quick shower, change of clothes, and a quick met and greet, than the club!  Every freakin� night.  I sighed, and waited outside Nick�s door.  Of all of them, he was the slowest in getting ready.  I closed my eyes and heard someone�s shoes against the floor.
�Hey Resa.�  I smiled to myself.
�Hey Alex.�  I opened my eyes and locked with his brown eyes.
�You okay?�
�Yeah, just waiting for Mr. Slow Poke.�
�Everything okay the last couple months?�  I sighed and shrugged my shoulders.
�He leads a busy life.  Games and work, his life!�
�That�s all there is to it?�
�Unless he�s on tour.  Sleep and concerts.�  I laughed and saw all the other guys come out.  They rolled their eyes and we waited for Nick.  I shook my head and knocked on the door.
�Hold on.�  I smirked and opened the door a little.  I peeked my head in and saw Nick on the couch, half dressed.  I quietly slipped into the room and walked over to him.  He glanced up at me and smirked.
�No, go get dressed!� I said, backing away from him.  His eyes could easily tell me what he wanted.  He jumped up off the couch and raced after me.  I backed up against the wall and he slowly walked towards me. �Nick, they�re waiting.�
�They can wait a few more minutes.�
�Oh, a quicky here, huh?�
�Why not?�  I placed my arms around his neck and his hands slid up my shirt.  His arms encircled my waist and lifted me up on the wall.  His lips claimed mine and I moaned.  I wrapped my legs around his waist and his hands quickly unbuttoned my blouse.  His eyes took in the site before him, his hands cupping one lace clad breast.  I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the wall. 
�Excuse me, can we please�ewww, Theresa!�  Nick let me down and he turned and faced Howie.
�Hey man.  Give me a minute, I�ll get dressed.�  I covered my mouth and shrugged my shoulders at my brother.
�That�s sick.�
�I�m a living person Howie, I have needs.�
�I don�t want to hear that, not now, not ever.�  I laughed and buttoned up my shirt.
�Thanks bro, love you too.�

Nick smiled at every girl, hating this, of course, until the last girl came to his attention.  His eyes traveled up the long legs clad in a leather skirt.  The blouse that hugged the chest it was barely concealing.  The luscious lips and the blue eyes that were all underneath golden locks like he�s never seen.  He swallowed a few times and finally placed that irresistible grin on his face.
