Thursday evening, 18.00h.
I'm cooking dinner reluctantly. Today it's two weeks ago that I met Nick. It seems sooo long ago, a lot happened since then. Next Wednesday and Thursday they're in Europe. If everything goes well, Nick comes to me Thursday evening, and than we go and visit my parents. He has to go back the same evening, but at least than we've seen eachother for a short while.
I miss him really bad. Since we've said goodbye I can hardly eat anything. Just not hungry at all.
The phone rings. Could that be Nick already? Usually he calls a bit later, because he knows what time I have dinner, or at least try to eat something.
"Met Rachel."
"Hi, it's Aaron."
"Hey, Aaron, nice to hear your voice again. How are you?" I say surprised.
"Nice to hear you too. I'm all right," he sounds not very enthusiastically.
"What's wrong? You sound like something's bothering you," I say worried.
"Well, I'm home now for a couple of days. I was looking forward to it, but I feel like they don't want me to be home," he sounds pitiful.
"I don't believe that. What makes you think that?" I ask surprised.
"Well, when I got home two days ago, Leslie was in a very bad mood. And this morning when I was talking a bit to Angel at breakfast, she was in a bad mood too. I was a bit surprised about that and I said: 'Jee, are you having your period or something,' and than she completely freaked out. She got really angry and yelled at me. And than my mother came in and accused me of being insensitive to Angel. And Nick isn't here, and I miss him, and I miss you."
I can hear from his voice that he's really unhappy.
"Hey, smile. It isn't your fault they're in a bad mood. I know what's going on. They really are having their period," I say and try not to laugh.
"Huh?"
"Okay, imagine this. You're having terrible pains in your belly, so you can hardly sleep. In the morning you drag yourself out of bed to take a warm shower. That takes the pain away a little bit. But than someone starts banging on the door that you have to hurry up. You get angry, right?"
"Yes, I guess I would," Aaron answers.
"But you take a deep breath and control your emotions. You go downstairs to have breadfast. You try to relax with a warm cup of tea, because you're still having terrible pains. But than your sister cmes to have breakfast, she's in a good mood, and starts to talk to you. But all you want is to be left alone. So you hardly answer your sister. And than suddenly she says: 'Jee, you're in a bad mood, what's wrong with you?' And than you freak out completely," I tell him.
"That's what happened to Angel?" he asks relieved.
"Yes."
"I can imagine she freaked out, now you tell it with the roles switched," Aaron laughs. "I would have freaked out too. I didn't know she had pain."
"Why do you think girls are in a bad mood when they're having their period? It's not just because. It's because they can have terrible pains," I explain.
"Do all girls have that much pain?" he asks.
"No. Some girls don't have pain at all. Some girls have it only one day, some girls have it for a couple of days. When it's really bad, they are sick for a couple of days every month. But when it's that bad they usually take medicines for it."
"But Leslie and Angel do have pain?" he asks.
"Yes, it sounds like it. so be nice to them. Leave them alone if they want to be alone. Don't talk too much. And never say anything about their period. Just pretend you don't know about it. And tell Angel you're sorry."
"Yes, I'll do that. How do you know all this?" he asks.
"Hey, I'm a girl!" I call.
"Yes, I know, but how do you know about them wanting to be left alone and stuff? Do you have pain from it?"
I grin: "Boys think girls are difficult to understand, but all girls are basically the same. I never had pain from it about the first eight years, I guess. But the last couple of years it's getting worse. Sometimes I can hardly walk from the toilet back to my room. And than I can never sit down without having a cramp in my belly, for three or four days every month."
"Jee, I'm glad I'm not a girl," Aaron calls.
"I'm still glad I'm not a boy, even if I would never have that pains again, I still wouldn't want to be a boy," I laugh.
Aaron starts laughing too: "I'm glad to hear that. Well, thanks for explaining everything. I wouldn't know what I'd have done without you."
"I know, you would have called Nick," I say.
"Yes, but he doesn't know as much as you," he answers.
"No, maybe not, but he would have told you that you didn't do anything wrong, and that you just have to leave them alone."
"Maybe, but now I know why. Thanks," he says.
"You're welcome. Give Nick a kiss for me when he gets home tonight," I say.
"I'll do that. Bye."
"Bye."
They should tell this to all boys. It would cost a lot less irritations�
Chapter 26
Four days later. Monday evening.
It's almost half past ten, I come home from work and open the front door. In the living room two roommates are watching tv.
"Hi."
"Hi. Nick called. It was very urgent. He'll call you back," one of the girls says. I get scared. What could be urgent? I really hope he can come Thursday evening, because I know they were changing plans.
She sees that I get scared.
"He sounded really enthusiastic. I'm sure he has good news," she says quickly.
Relieved I take a deep breath. "Thanks."
I go to my room and throw down my bag and coat. I'll quickly go to the toilet before he calls. I'm just at the toilet when I hear the phone ring. I could have known. He knows exactly what time I usually come home.
"Rachel, telephone," someone calls.
"Yes, hold on a sec," I call back.
"It's Nick," she says when I walk in the room. I nod and take the phone.
"Hi, you don't even give me time to go to the toilet first," I smile.
My roommates start to laugh: "Do you always answer the phone like that?"
I nod grinning.
"What's so important?" I say in keen expectation.
"Hi. Yes, I'm fine, how are you?" he smiles.
"I'm fine. What's so important?" I ask again.
He starts laughing. "You know I'm coming to Europe Wednesday and Thursday. After that we're all coming to the Netherlands for three days."
"What? Are you serious? That's fantastic," I'm bouncing in the room. "Okay, tell me all about it," I say and tighten the flexextension under my arm and walk to my room.
"The five of us are coming, and Aaron and Leighanne are coming too. We arrive in Amsterdam Thursday evening. We've got Friday off. Friday evening there's some important party we have to go to. Saturday we've got a lot of interviews to do ally day long, but the evening we're off. And of course Sunday we're off, we leave at Sunday evening."
"I can't believe it. It's great," I call enthusiastically.
"Yes, it is. And I thought that we could visit your parents Sunday afternoon, instead of Thursday evening," he suggests.
"Yes, that would be better. I'll ask my brother and sister to come too. So you can meet them all at once, and it will make the conversation a bit easier. My parents do speak English, but only a little bit."
"Do you want to go to church first on Sunday? Kevin and Brian want to, I heard," Nick says.
"Sure, why not. I guess there will be an international church in Amsterdam. Hey do you want to meet my cousin, Lilian? She wants to meet you," I suggest.
"I would love to meet that famous cousin of you," he laughs.
"We can go and have lunch at her place. After that we can go to my parents. We'll have dinner back in Amsterdam. I'll tell Lilian to stay home for us," I grin.
"That sounds okay. Than I'll have met the most important of your family," he smiles.
"Than they'll let me go to see you at Christmas," I smile back.
"Hey, I wanna see where you live in Utrecht," he says suddenly.
"Sure. We can see it after church, before we go to Lilian. Are your bodyguards coming with us?"
"No, that's not necessary when I'm alone with you, in the Netherlands. They will be if we're going somewhere with all of us," he explains.
"That's good. We can go by train and bus everywhere. By car I wouldn't even know how to get out of Amsterdam," I laugh.
"Okay. Jee, we're going to see eachother for three days, instead of one evening," he sighs happily.
"Yes, and for three nights," I add. "Can I stay in your room?"
"That's what I wanted to ask you. Do you want to sleep in my room?" he asks.
"Yes. I miss you, I want to make love to you," I confess.
"I want to make love to you too. I thought it wasn't going to happen until Christmas," he says.
"Me neither. It's only three days away. I can't wait to see you again," I sigh.
"Can't wait to feel your body close to mine," he says.
"You give me butterflies in my belly," I laugh. "O, shit! I'm having my period next weekend. O, never mind. I'll keep on taking my contraception pill every evening. It's not too late yet," it suddenly pops into my mind.
"Are you serious? Can you make sure you're not having your period?" Nick asks surprised.
"Yes. I normally take it three weeks. When I stop, I get my period. But when I keep on taking it every day, I don't get my period. I've done that before at summer holidays," I explain.
"So, when you don't want to have your period, you just keep on taking that pills?" he asks surprised.
"No, it's not that easy. The period after that will be more painful than normal. But that's okay this time," I sigh.
"But normally it's really painful, isn't it? I don't want you to have even more pain because of me," he says worried.
"Wait a sec," I say and take my agenda. I count the days to the christmasholidays aloud.
"What are you doing?" Nick asks surprised.
"Okay, when I normally have this period, I'll have the next one the first days of the Christmas holiday. It would spoil two weekends we're together. When I don't have this period, the next one will be the week before Christmas, it will be over when I come to you. Just make me happy, and I will take the extra pain for granted," I smile.
"I'll do everything I can to make you happy," he promises. "Jee, it's complicated to be a girl, isn't it? Having periods and stuff like that?"
"Maybe it is, but it's also complicated to be a boy, because boys always have troubles to inderstand girls. And can we stop discussing my periods now? It's not something I like to be reminded of," I sigh.
"Sorry," he smiles. We chat for a little while and than we hang up.
I dance to the living room with a big smile.
"And what is sooo great?" they ask curious.
"They're all coming to the Netherlands Thursday evening. And they're staying until Sunday evening," I tell them enthusiastically.
"So, that's better," they nod.
"And I'm staying at Nick's room," I say with a naughty smile.
"So, exciting!" and "Don't forget to wax," they call.
I grin back: "I'm not stupid!"
Chapter 27
Thursday, end of the afternoon.
I've cleaned my whole room. My bag is packed. My high boots and sexy outfit too. I've already walked on them, so my feet won't hurt when I wear them. I'm going to wear it on Saturday evening, we're all going out then.
I've warned Nick I'm going to wear something pretty, so he has to wear something sexy too.
"But I don't know what you think looks sexy on me," he called.
"Of course, no clothes, but you'll have to ask your sisters to help you," I grinned back.
With some difficulty I eat two sandwiches and some soup. It's almost six o'clock, we'll meet at 20h at the airport. Happily I walk to the busstop.
It's really crowded in the bus, I'm standing very uncomfortably with my bag at my feet. Shit, my phone's ringing.
"Rachel."
"Hi, it's Lilian. You're going to him this evening, right?"
"Yes, I'm going to him now. I'm standing in the bus," I say.
"Oh, than I'll keep it short. Be careful," she says.
"With what?" I ask surprised.
"Well, you're spending the night with him, right?" she asks.
"Yeah, but it's not my first time," I grin.
"No, I thought so, but isn't it your first time with him?" she asks carefully.
"Yes, you're right," I answer.
"Well, have a lot of fun. Bye," she says.
"Thanks, don't worry about that. Bye." I hang up. This is not the conversation I like to have in the bus, but never mind.
Shit, my phone rings again.
"Rachel."
"Hi, it's Aaron."
"Hey Aaron. Why are you calling?" I ask surprised.
"Just to say hi," he says.
"But I'll see you in less than two hours. I'm already on my way to you," I say.
"Oh, we're in the plane, and I'm bored," he laughs.
"Well, I'm standing in the bus, and it's not very comfortable. Go and tease Nick instead of me."
"Hey Nick. She says I have to tease you instead of her," I hear Aaron calling.
"Hey, don't shout in my ear," I say.
"Sorry. Howie wants to speak to you," he grins.
"Howie?"
"Hi, it's Howie," I hear a different voice.
"Hi, how are you?" I say.
"All right. Are you serious that you want to share a room with Nick? 'Cause now I have to share one with Aaron, and he's really annoying," Howie sighs.
I grin: "I'll teach him some manners." I hear them fighting for the phone.
"Hi, it's me," I hear a familiar voice.
"Hi Nick," I smile.
"I'm sorry about the guys, but they are really crazy today," he says.
"That's all right. Are you at the airport at 8 o'clock?" I check a last time.
"Yes, I think so."
"I'll see you there. I've got to go. I'm in the bus, got to catch my train. Bye."
"Bye."
Everybody in the bus is staring at me. Luckily the doors are opening now. Shit, now they know that I live here, they're going to recognize me more often. Whatever, I'll have to learn to live with that. We will probably be photographed this weekend. Everybody knows they're here Saturday for interviews.
At the train I have to stand again, because it's the most busy hour of the day. I put out my phone just in case. I'll turn it on again at the airport, I don't want another phonecall so everybody will be staring at me again.
I'm finally at the airport. I'm twenty minutes early. I'll quickly check where they'll arrive. Jee, these last twenty minutes seem like forever. Oh, right, I have to turn on my phone again in case they arrive late.
Chapter 28
I see a couple of bodyguards coming. They've got to be behind them. I recognize one of the bodyguards and wave at him. He sees me and they are coming my way. Than I see Nick. My heart starts beating really fast. He sees me too and he forces his way through the crowd.
I hug him and he pulls me close to him and doesn't stop kissing me.
"I love you," I say between two kisses.
"I love you too," he says with a broad smile. "Jee, I've missed you so much."
"I know," I say and take his hands, our fingers intertwine. Aaron walks towards us. I hug him and give him a kiss on his cheek.
"Hi little brother, good to see you again."
"Hi, big sister, missed you," he answers.
"I've heard that. I've got to teach you some manners, or Howie doesn't want to share a room with you," I grin. I hug the others too. Leighanne already has a really big belly.
"How's the baby?" I ask.
"All right. Only a month to go now, so this is the last time we've left the USA," Leighanne answers.
Nick takes my hand and our fingers intertwine again. Surrounded by bodyguards we go to the cabs. My bag is carried for me, really useful. It's raining really bad and we're soaked before we're finally in the cars.
They quickly take us to the hotel. It's a different one from last time. We run through the rain inside.
"Nice weather," Howie says and pulls a dirty face.
"That's normal here. We always get a lot of rain," I nod. It's almost ten o'clock now.
"I'm going to my room," Leighanne says.
"I'm tired too, we've had two busy days," Brian nods. The others nod too. Nick softly squeezes my hand and pulls me with him.
Leighanne walks next to me and says quietly: "You have the last room at the hallway. Only our room is next to yours, so don't be afraid anyone will hear you."
I nod. "Thanks."
Nick starts grinning. We wish everybody goodnight and enter our room. It's a really nice big room with a tv, stereo and a dressing-table with a blowdryer on it. We have a nice bathroom, with big towels and little bottles of shampoo and showercream and little soaps.
"Nice room," I nod. Nick locks the door and gives me a long french kiss.
"Had to do that first," he grins. "I'm going to take a shower now, I'm wet and cold."
He takes of his necklace and other jewelry and puts them on the dressing-table. He walks to the bathroom, he doesn't close the door completely behind him. I hear him pulling off his clothes and turning on the shower.
I think by myself, my hair is wet from the rain. It's not nice, long wet hair in bed. Actually I have to wash it and blowdry it. Whatever, I can take a shower with Nick. There is a reason we're sharing a room, I think by myself. I lay my necklace next to Nick's and take off the other jewelry.
Quietly I walk into the bathroom and take off my clothes. Nick is humming in the shower.
"Hi," I say quietly when I step under the shower. He turns around surprised.
"Hi," he smiles lovely. He stands aside so I can stand underneath the shower. I close my eyes and let the water run over me and push my hair to the back. Nick strokes my shoulder. I open my eyes again and smile.
I put my hands on his chest and give him a kiss. We stand underneath the shower together. I caress his chest and belly and bum. His body is sooo great! He does the same to me and kisses my neck. I get all excited, I feel him getting excited too, he gets a boner. I look, it really is as big as it feels. How is that ever going to fit, I'm so small! I feel him getting more excited.
"You've got to wait. I don't want our first time to be in the shower," I wisper.
"Me neither, but I can't do anything about it," he shrugs his shoulders. I start to laugh.
"What?" Nick says.
"Nicky just won't listen to you, right?" I laugh and take the shampoo. I wash my hair, Nick does the same. When I've washed out my hair, I take the showercream and put it all over Nick. Softly our bodies glide along and against eachother. We wash it off and dry eachother. Nick puts me in a big towel and I brush my hair.
I sit in front of the dressing-table and blowdry my hair. Nick stands behind me, he's only wearing a towel around his waist.
"I'll do that," he smiles and takes the blowdryer from me. Full of attention he starts drying my hair. I look at him in the mirror while he's pulling his hand in my hair lovingly. This is so relaxed.
"It's dry," he says and turns off the blowdryer.
"What about your hair?" I ask.
"That's already dry," he smiles and gives me a kiss. He puts on a little light next to the bed and I turn off all the other lights.
He drops his towel and lies down in the bed. I take off my towel too and lie down next to him. He puts his arms around me.
"Do you have condoms?" I ask. He nods.
"Are you sure you want to do it?" he asks quietly.
"Yes, but you're really big, and I am small. I've done it before, but it's gonna hurt anyway," I say a little bit frightened.
"I can wait if you don't want to do it," he says worried.
"No, it's gonna hurt the first time we do it. It doesn't matter if we wait or not," I say determined.
"I'll be really careful. I don't want to hurt you," he wispers tenderly. I lie closer to him and give him a deep kiss and caress his chest. He kisses back passionately and lies down on top of me. He strokes and kisses my breasts. My nipples get all hard.
"I love that," I moan.
"I love that too. You've got delicious breasts. They're so big," he wispers from between my breasts.
"Jee, thanks. I didn't know that," I grin.
"Hey, you're making fun of me," he says and pretends to be offended. I give him a kiss and roll on top of him. I start kissing his chest, lower and lower. He moans of pleasure. I feel him getting a big hard one again. He caresses my belly, lower until he reaches my sensitive spot on my belly. I moan and get even wetter than before. He looks questioning at me, I nod. He takes a condom, an extra large one. I look when he carefully puts it on. It fits tightly. He rolls on top of me again and kisses me tenderly. I feel him hesitate.
"Do it," I encourage him.
"Help me," he wispers. I take him to the right spot and nod. He starts pushing carefully.
"Harder, one really hard push," I say and bite my teeth together. He pushes him inside. I almost shout out of pain. I feel tears on my face and open my eyes again.
"You're crying," Nick says alarmed. I smile.
"It's okay. Keep on going," I wisper. He kisses my tears away and starts moving on and back in me. He keeps looking at my face intently. I close my eyes. The pain slowly fades. I open my eyes and smile at Nick who looks worried at me.
"The pain is gone," I say and put my legs around him. Relieved he takes a deep breath. We kiss passionately and he moves faster and faster in me. This is sooo good. I moan of pleasure. We roll over and I sit on top of him. He puts his hands on my breasts and I go up and down hard. Nick starts moaning too. We go on for a while, changing the rythm once and a while. I feel an orgasm coming. He rolls on top of me again and takes me to a climax. He keeps moaning harder and harder. I feel him holding in his orgasm, I'm also almost there.
"Oh, Nick, Nick, Nick!" I call when I come.
"I love you," he moans very load when he comes at the same time inside me. I'm shaking all over from the orgasm. Carefully he takes it out of me and quickly removes the condom. With our faces against eachother I'm gasping for breath. I hear him panting in my ear. When I've regained my breath I lift my head and look at him.
"I've never had an orgasm like that," I sigh.
"Me neither," he smiles and takes a deep breath. I lie down again and sight deeply. He turns to his side and looks at me.
"I'm exhausted," I smile, while he's making figures on my belly.
"You've lost weight, haven't you?"
I nod.
"Yes, I couldn't eat because I'm so in love with you. And I'm gonna lose more if we do this more often," I laugh. "It's okay if I lose some weight, I've been trying to do that for years."
"You don't have to lose weight. You're perfect for me," Nick says.
"O shut up," I say and give him a kiss. "I've got to take out my contact lenses before we fall asleep," I say and try to sit up. I fall back. Nick sits up.
"Come on," he says and pulls me up. I step out of bed and see that Nick's having troubles with standing up. I pull him up now.
"It looks like we've used different muscles," I grin. I quickly take out my contact lenses and go back to bed. Nick lies close to me and turns off the light.
"Do you mind if I sleep close to you? Because most boys need their own space when they sleep," I ask.
"I love to lie close to you," he wispers. I lie on my side and fold up, close to him. He pulls the blankets over us. I put my hand on his chest. I can feel his heart beating. He puts his hand on my hand and I fall asleep.
