Sunshine, Josephine, and Kevin stood in Alexander�s kitchen helping him clean up the mess from the night before. Sunshine and Josephine loaded the dishwasher, as Alexander and Kevin took out the trash. Josephine turned to put dishes in the dishwasher, as Nickolas walked in and Sunshine sprayed her with the sink hose.
�You bitch,� Josephine said glaring at her and Sunshine just laughed.
�Hey, Nick,� Sunshine said.
�Hey,� Nickolas said sitting down.
�You look bummed,� Alexander said. �What�s wrong?�
�I was bummed,� Nickolas replied then looking at Sunshine. �But I�m not anymore.� Sunshine smiled at him, as he smiled at her.
�Right,� Alexander said.
�Josie, you�re backing up here,� Sunshine said. �Let�s get a move on it.�
�Then quit going so fast,� Josephine said. �I have to find spots for these dishes.� Sunshine sighed and rolled her eyes, as she looked at the others.
�Josephine has a dishwasher of her own and it takes her forever,� Sunshine said.
�Bite me,� Josephine said.
�No thanks,� Sunshine said. �Maybe Alex will though.�
�Perv,� Josephine said.
�Whatever,� Sunshine said. �So what else needs to be done?�
�I think that�s everything,� Alexander answered. �Unless ya want to clean up my room.�
�I don�t feel like tackling that today,� Sunshine stated. �Maybe Josie will.�
�You�re funny,� Josephine said.
�I try,� Sunshine said and Nickolas smiled at her.
�So what was up with Dani and Kev last night?� Nickolas asked and Kevin looked at him. �I�m serious, dude. You guys were, like, all over each other.�
�It was so cute,� Sunshine said, as she rinsed off more dishes for Josephine. �Wasn�t it Josie? Didn�t ya love seeing your �cos all over some guy?�
�She�s a slut,� Josephine blurted out. �She doesn�t care who it is just as long as they�re not gay that way she knows she�ll end up getting a piece.� Sunshine laughed.
�Can�t ya just feel the family love?� Sunshine asked.
�Well, ok, she�s not a slut,� Josephine replied. �She�s just a major flirt.�
�And we mean major,� Sunshine added.
�I always call her a slut anyway, but she knows its all out of love,� Josephine stated and then looking at Kevin, as she put her hands on her hips. �So what the hell is the story with you and my cousin? I seen that kiss at New Year�s and whatever was happening between you two last night.�
�We�re just friends,� Kevin said
�Friends with benefits,� Sunshine snickered.
�What about you and Nickolas last night?� Kevin asked.
�No, no, no,� Sunshine said. �Nuh-uh; you�re not getting out of this convo. What�s the deal?�
�Inquiring minds want to know, Kev,� Nickolas said and then making a face. �I�m hanging out with Sunnie too much.� He sighed and Sunshine sprayed him with the sink hose. �Gees woman. I already got my monthly bath.� She sprayed him again. �I did it again.� She sprayed him a third time and longer. �Ok, uncle, uncle.� They all shook their heads.
�So what�s up, Kevin?� Josephine asked. �Are you going to pursue anything with Dani or just keep it friendly?�
�With benefits,� Sunshine added.
�Like I said,� Kevin began, �we�re just friends.�
�Uh-huh,� they all said and Kevin shook his head, as the girls finished with the dishes.
�So who is hungry?� Sunshine asked. �Josie and I will buy pizza; just because they deliver.� The two girls smiled.
�Sounds good,� Alexander said.
�Whatever,� Nickolas and Kevin said, as Venus and Howard walked in.
�Better make it for seven,� Venus said. �I�ll chip in.�
�The more the merrier,� Josephine said picking up the phone, as Sunshine sat beside Nickolas at the bar, as Howard watched her.
�So what brings you back?� Sunshine asked basically whispering, as Nickolas looked at her. �You missed me didn�t ya?�
�If ya say so,� Nickolas said basically whispering himself.
�I know ya did.�
�How do you know?�
�Well you said you were bummed and then when ya saw me ya weren�t anymore.� Nickolas just smiled and she smiled in return. �Not that I blame ya. I mean I am easy to miss. I miss me too at times.� Nickolas chuckled and shook his head.
�Yeah I did miss you.� She smiled. �Like you didn�t miss me.�
�You know I did.�
�Yeah.� He took her hand and kissed it. �Ya know, since that night I fell asleep with you in my arms I haven�t had a good nights sleep since.�
�Why not?�
�Because I got use to it that fast.�
�I know what ya mean. I don�t get all the hours of sleep I�m supposed to because of that night. I think it�s trying to tell us something.�
�Ya think?�
�I guess�yeah.� They both smiled and he kissed her hand again. They sat there alone together for about ten minutes and Sunshine traced the lines on Nickolas� palm. He just watched her the whole time and smiled.
�Are you having fun?� Sunshine looked at him. �That tickles ya know.�
�I know.� She continued tracing the lines.
�Is there something wrong?�
�No.�
�Are ya sure?�
�Yeah.� She smiled and looked at him. �It�s all good.�
�Alright.� She went back to tracing the lines.
�I was just thinking about that night in New York.�
�What night is that?�
�Ya know that night.�
�No I don�t. What night?�
�That night�� They looked at each other. �That night I�left�ya know.� He grinned. �Ya know what night I�m talking about, Carter.�
�No I don�t.�
�Yes you do. There was only one night I left��
�Left what?�
�Don�t get smart.� He just smiled and then she whispered in his ear, �That night I left you go down on me and you did that orgasmic thing with your tongue and then I�ya know to your�ya know.�
�You did what to my what?� She glared at him. �My memory needs refreshing.�
�You know what I�m talking about.�
�Refresh my memory though. I might be thinking something different.� She looked at him and he smiled.
She waited a few moments then whispered in his ear, �That night when I sucked your cock.�
�Oh that night.� He smiled and nodded. �I remember that night.�
�You knew what night I was talking about.�
�I just wanted to hear you say it.�
�And you�re a jerk.�
�Do you want to do it again? Just talking about it makes me horny.�
�No, because you�re a jerk.� He smiled and went to kiss her.
�Sunshine, I need your money,� Josephine interrupted before Nickolas kissed Sunshine.
�Yeah, yeah,� Sunshine said getting up. �I�ll be right back.�
Sunshine walked out and Josephine asked, �So what�s going on with you two?�
�Why?� Nickolas asked.
�Just curious,� Josephine said. �I mean, you guys basically act like a couple. Are you a couple?� Nickolas just smiled, as Sunshine walked back in and sat next to him again.
�I have nothing smaller than a twenty at the moment,� Sunshine said handing it to Josephine. �If the delivery guy is really hot call me to the door and let him keep the change.�
�Gotcha,� Josephine said.
�But if he�s really nasty looking,� Sunshine began, �don�t call and give him a penny towards his makeover.� She smiled and Nickolas shook his head.
�Gotcha,� Josephine said walking away.
�You�re so mean,� Nickolas said.
�But you love it,� Sunshine said, as they kissed this time and Howard watched them.
