�Don�t worry,� Sunshine said, as Nickolas looked at her. �It got ya�s back together.�
�That�s the plus side,� Howard said smiling. �Minus the soreness and the fact that it�s swollen.�
�Now he�ll never be a teen model,� Brian cried and they all laughed.
�Sorry,� Sunshine apologized yawning. �Next time listen to me.�
�Don�t worry I will,� Howard said and everyone laughed.
Sunshine yawned again and Kevin said, �Someone tired.�
�No,� Sunshine said yawning again and getting up. �But I�m going to go.�
�Don�t forget your brownies,� Alexander said and Destiny glared at him.
�I�m glad I ain�t having your kid,� Sunshine said going into the kitchen.
�Unfortunately I am,� Destiny stated, as everyone laughed and Nickolas got up.
Nickolas went into the kitchen and found Sunshine eating. He smiled, as she continued eating the strawberry cheesecake from the dish. After a few seconds more of watching her, he said, �What are you doing?�
Sunshine jumped and looked at him. �Jerk.�
�Sorry. Do you always eat from the dish?�
�No one else is going to eat it. I�m the only one that eats this stuff.�
�So take it with.�
�What do you want anyway?�
�That was rude.�
�It was a simple question.� She walked over to the door and pushed it open. �Does anyone want this cheesecake? If not I�m taking it with me.� Everyone shook their heads. �Thank you.� She walked away from the door and Nickolas watched her. �What?�
�Nothing.� He walked over to her, as she got a brownie. �I was thinking about what you said.� He stood right next to her and looked at her.
�What was that?� She noticed how close they were and looked up at him. �I said a lot of things.�
�About if I wanted you we�d be together right now.�
�What about it?� He put his arms around her waist and pressed their bodies together. Sunshine just looked at him and asked, �Nicky, what are you doing? Don�t keep playing me like this.�
�I�m not. I do want you.� He brushed her lips with his own. �I want you more than you�ll ever know.� He kissed her and Sunshine basically melted in his arms. She put her hands on his chest, as she kissed him in return. She slowly put her arms around his neck, as he asked, �Do you want me?� She nodded as he kissed her neck. �I want to hear you say it.�
�Yes. Yes I want you, Nick.�
�Good.�
He kissed her again, but she tried stopping him. She tried walking backwards away from him, but he stayed with her and she ran into the refrigerator. Nickolas picked her up and held her there, as he continued kissing her.
�Nick�� He moved down to her neck. �Damn it, Nickolas.� His lips found her mouth again and he wasted no time slipping his tongue inside. His tongue traced the contours of her mouth and she had to force herself to stop the kiss and he just looked at her.
�What?�
�Come to my place.�
�Now?�
�We can�t do this here.� Nickolas sighed. �I�ll leave now and you leave right behind me.�
�Why don�t we just leave together?�
�So they don�t get suspicious.� She smiled. �Plus we have our own vehicles to take home.�
�Ok, but I don�t think I can wait that long.� He kissed her and put her on her feet.
�You�re going to have to.� She picked up the brownies and cheesecake. �If I leave now you won�t have to wait that long.� He kissed her. �I�m serious. Leave me go.� She backed away and smiled at him. She pushed the door open and everyone looked. �Well I�m out of here. Bye.� She walked quickly to the door and everyone watched.
�Bye,� they all said, as Nickolas sat on the sofa and Brian asked, �What�s her hurry?�
�Like I know,� Nickolas said all serious. �She�s still mad at me for looking at her sketch. If she�s going to be that way then fine. I�m not going to chase after her.�
�She did tell you not to look at it,� Josephine said. �I�d be mad at you too.�
�I made a mistake,� Nickolas stated. �I know. Everyone does.�
�So you�re just going to sit around and wait for her to come to you,� Danielle said. �You�re an idiot if you do. You made the mistake so you go to her. You know how stubborn Sunn is.�
�She�s right, Nick,� Kevin said. �You wait for her you�ll be waiting a long time.�
�Just go to her,� Howard said.
�Why should I?� Nickolas asked. �Every time I go to her something happens. It�s better if I wait for her.�
�You�re just as stubborn as Sunshine is,� Venus said. �Can�t you see how bad she�s hurting right now, because of you? She�s not going to get any better unless you do something about it.�
�Like putting that ring back on her finger,� Destiny stated.
�That rings been replaced with Brad�s,� Nickolas said.
�So go replace it again,� Howard stated.
�I don�t need to listen to this,� Nickolas said getting up. �I don�t need to listen to you guys telling me what to do.� He walked to the door. �I can make my own decisions.�
�Sure ya can,� Alexander said, as Nickolas walked out the door smiling. �Is it just me or is he missing the whole point about Sunn?�
�He�s missing the point,� Kevin said. �There�s really nothing more we can do. It�s up to him to make it right and he knows Sunn wants it right.�
�He better not wait too much longer,� Danielle said. �Because I honestly think Sunn�s not going to wait that much longer.�
�I�ll be heartbroken if they don�t get back together,� Josephine said. �Then she�ll probably end up with a total bum who only wants her money. Then I�ll have to kick his ass.�
�Sure ya will,� Danielle said. �You didn�t even kick Sunn�s ass when you found out about Howie being in love with her.�
�Well, Sunn�s my best friend,� Josephine said. �So I couldn�t. I just slapped her across the face.�
�Which was unfair, because it was her fault,� Howard said. �You should�ve slapped me.�
�I know I made a mistake,� Josephine said, then stopped to think about what she said. �Oh man, I sound like Nick. Stop me now.� Howard kissed her. �Thank you.� Everyone just rolled their eyes. �What?�
�Nothing,� they all said then turned back to the movie.

Sunshine sat on the sofa, biting her nails and waiting for Nickolas. She was really nervous; wondering what was going to happen exactly. What if something happens to make Nickolas leave again? She couldn�t think that. Everything seemed to be going great. Nickolas wanted her, he was coming over, and hopefully he�ll put the ring back on her finger. She would be so happy. She grabbed a brownie and stood up just as the phone rang. She walked to the parlor and picked up the phone.
�Robinson�s.�
�Hey, it�s Josephine.�
�Hey.�
�Were you in bed?�
�I�m getting ready to go.�
�Well I just wanted to let ya know I�m staying at Howie�s tonight.�
�You are?�
�Yeah.�
�So everything�s back to normal.�
�Yeah.�
�That�s great.�
�I just didn�t want you to worry.�
�Alright.�
�Goodnight.�
�See ya tomorrow. Bye.�
She hung up the phone, as there was a knock. She ran to the door and opened it to see Nickolas. She went to speak, but Nickolas grabbed her and kissed her. Sunshine kissed him in return, as Nickolas closed the door.
They stood there kissing a few minutes until Nickolas said, �Is Jo coming home?�
�No.�
�Good.� He pushed her up against the door. He pressed his body against hers, as he locked all three locks on the door. He looked at her and smiled, as she put one arm around his neck and finished her brownie. Nickolas kissed her and said, �Eating again.�
�I�ve done extensive research and discovered that food is a substitute for sex.�
�Really?�
�Uh huh.�
�Then we�ll just have to satisfy your appetite tonight.� He kissed her neck.
�Don�t you have an appetite?�
�Yeah, but it�s not for food.� They looked at each other and he kissed her. �I believe the bed�s more comfortable.� He took her hand and led her away from the door.
Halfway through the parlor, Sunshine stopped him and said, �Nick, wait.�
�What�s wrong?�
�I need to know that this ain�t going to be like the last time.�
�Of course not. It�s going to happen this time. We�re going to make love.�
�Are you sure?�
�Positive.� He put his arms around her. �What could happen?� She put her hands in his pockets. �Frisky. I like it.� She pulled out his cell phone and held it up. �I see.� She looked at him and he took the phone. She watched him turn the phone off and throw it on the sofa. �No interruptions.� She smiled and he kissed her. He picked her up at the waist and she wrapped her legs around him, as he walked to the bedroom. He put her on the bed and asked, �Are you sure about this?�
�Definitely.� She kissed him and pulled him down on top of her. �You�re just going to have to be gentle though. I�m injured.�
Nickolas smiled and took off her bikini top. He threw it to the floor and gently kissed her sun burnt shoulders. He made a trail up to her neck, across to her other shoulder, and then down to her chest. Nickolas teased her by taking his tongue over both her breasts and up to her mouth. He kissed her, as his fingers found the button to her shorts and he undid them. He slowly removed them and then just as slowly removed her bikini bottoms. She was just as beautiful as the last time he saw her. Nothing had changed. He kissed the insides of her thighs and every time he got closer a moan escaped her. Nickolas smiled and teased her with his tongue a second then moved back up over her body.
He towered over her and she reached for the bottom of his shirt. She pushed it up over his chest and then over his head. She threw it to the side and took her hands over his chest, before capturing his mouth in a hungry kiss. She pushed him onto his back and kissed his neck this time and worked down his chest. She got to his waist and slowly and carefully removed his swimming trunks. She threw them to the floor also and smiled at him. He smiled in return, as she lowered her head. She teased him a second this time then moved back up over his body. She kissed him a moment then started to lower herself onto him, but he stopped her just as their flesh touched.
�My way first, Sweets.�
�And what way is that?�
He smiled and put her on her back. �Me on top.�
�Of course.� They kissed and he entered her so they could reach that eternal bliss.
