| " Yes. But liking you and liking cookies are two completely different things. You didn't bring a spoon?" Nick reached into his back pocket and pulled out a whie plastic spoon, handing it to her. She smiled and took it form him and sat on the dege of the bed. " You know, we survived our first argument today," She siad openeind the ice cream. " Really? I guess-" " Actually i survived your first temper tantrum. I did nothing wrong. In fact i wasn't even angry with you-" " Oh shut up," He said flopping down on the bed next to her. He grabbed the Oreo bag and ripped it open causing cookies to tumble out all over the bed. " Nick!" Heahter squealed. " You're gonna get crumbs all over the bed!" " They're just onthe blanket, Heather. We'll shake them off," " No... crumbs always find a way." She shoved a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. Nick grabbed an Oreo and started to dip it in the ice cream, but Heather moved the pint away from him. " Eww. No way," " Don;t talk with your mouth full," He laughed grabbing the ice cream from her. " It's better this way," After several tries and several broken cookies, Nick fianlly got enough ice cream on the cookie. Sticking the Oreo in her face, " Here," He said. " Try it," " No," She smiled. " Don't like Oreo's," " Do it for me. You might be surpised," He said softly. " I won't be," She smiled. Nick leand over and kissed her softly on the lips. Heather sighed and deepened the kiss, wrapping her arms sround him, Nick dropped the cookie and ganty pushed her back on the bed, and layed on top of her. " This is not what i had planned for tonight," He whispered in Heather's ear. Heahter sat up, pushing Nick off of her. " Then why'd you bring me here?" " Because i wanted to be alone with you, but not with you... yet. I want it to be right, and this is only your first night here. We have two weeks for that. And i shouldn't have kissed you but you mak it so goddamned hard..." " I understand. You don't have to say anymore," She said quietly. " Why don;t we just go to bed? It's been a long day for the both of us and i'm suddenly very tired." She climbed off he bed and removed the cookies sprawled across the blanket " Besides, pop princesses need their beauty sleep, right?" Chapter Five |
