| BJ sighed and looked at her brother. � Nick you can�t be serious,� she said coming to a stoplight. � You�re far too young to get married, and I doubt heather want to get married right now either-� � I�m not saying I want to marry her tomorrow, but I definitely want to marry her. And I don�t see how you of all people could possibly be against this when you live with Steve,� � But I�m not marrying Steve-� � And I�m not marrying Heather. I just want to. We haven�t even talked about it or anything.� � Good. I don�t think you should even be thinking about it,� � Beej, can we just drop it. If I wanted to deal with all this, I would have went home,� � Sorry,� She said quietly. � So how is everybody?� � Fine I guess.� He shrugged. � I haven�t really talked to anyone but mom, and even that conversation was short,� � Ok, I know I�m going back to Heather again, but why were you out in California?� � I went to visit her. She had a week off and so I went to see her.� He said. � It was a surprise,� � For everybody. Nick, mom called me and asked where you were-� � When?� � The day before yesterday. She freaked out. She said that you were missing and you weren�t on the boat, and she couldn�t find you. So I ask again what were you doing out in California?� Nick laughed at his sister�s inquisitiveness. � I went to check on Heather, actually. And the fact that she was off for a week was just a coincidence.� � Check on her?� � I thought she was cheating on me-� � God Nick! Please tell me you didn�t argue with her-� � There were some tense moments, BJ-� � Did you hit her?� She asked abruptly. � Beej� � Did you hit her Nick?� � Yeah.. but it was all a misunderstanding. And I apologized afterward.� � You said you�d never hit another woman again, Nick.� � I didn�t. She hit me first-� � And that gives you just reason to hit her back?!� � BJ, It wasn�t like a punch or anything. I just slapped her-� � Does mom know?� � Nope. I think she senses that something�s not right though.� � Nick you can�t go around hitting your girlfriends if they piss you off,� � And I haven�t in a long time. I�m over that. That�s not part of my life anymore. But I just� I love her so much and sometimes I just go a little crazy when I�m around her. She forgave me though, so what does that say about her feelings for me?� � It says she too trusting and far to understanding,� She smiled. � I know� that�s why I love her,� Next Page |
