Sunshine and Nickolas were sitting at the condo. It was after eleven p.m. and they were sitting in the parlor watching some horror movies to get in gear for Halloween. Nickolas looked at Sunshine and smiled, as she yawned. She looked at him and he laughed, as she threw a pillow at him.
�Oh, I ain�t tired,� Nickolas said mockingly and Sunshine put up her middle finger at him. �Don�t mind if I do.� Sunshine only glared at him and he smiled. �I�m just being honest, Sweets. I wouldn�t mind a go right now. What about you? We can lock the doors and strip down and do it right here and now.�
�You would love that,� Sunshine said.
�So would you.�
�I already told you I ain�t doing it again unless I know it�s for sure. And I don�t know if it�s for sure or not.�
�I keep telling you it�s for sure. Why don�t you believe me? Why can�t you believe me?� She just looked at him. �What?�
�I told you the other day, Nicky. I told you what I wanted. If you can�t give me that then I can�t give you what you want.� She got up. �It�s really simple, Nick, and you know it.� He watched her walk away.
�I know it�s simple and you�ll get it.� He got up and went to the kitchen with her. She looked at him and he smiled. �So what are you going to be for Halloween?�
�Your worst nightmare.� She smiled and Nickolas shook his head. �You�ll find out Saturday. What are you going to be?�
�You�ll find out Saturday.�
�Go away.�
�I�ll just go check your closet for your costume.�
�I don�t think so.�
�Why not?�
�Because you�re not allowed in my room.�
�I was just in there an hour ago.�
�So�that was different.�
�I want to see you keep me out of your room.� He walked out of the kitchen.
�Nicky!�
�Sunnie.�
�You don�t need to know.� She got in front of him and he smiled. �Please don�t.� They continued walking. �Don�t�unless you never want to see me again.� Nickolas stopped and looked at her.
�You act like it�s your wedding dress.�
�I just don�t want you to see. Besides, you won�t tell me what you�re going to be.�
�So.�
�So you don�t need to know.�
�You�re lucky I love you or else I�d be in there right now.�
�And I love you.� She smiled and kissed him. �Very much.�
�Good.� He kissed her this time and led her back over to the sofa.
Nickolas laid down and pulled Sunshine down to lay in front of him. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead. They went back to watching the movie and just laid there for the longest time. Nickolas really wasn�t into the movie, but more interested in Sunshine being in his arms. He smiled, inhaled her scent, and looked her over. She smelled like strawberry and was wearing one of those bed outfits that contained the cute little tank top and the sexy boy shorts. It fit her every curve perfectly and Nickolas couldn�t control himself.
He shifted against her and she said, �Nickolas.�
�What?�
�Don�t give me that �what� shit, because you know what.�
�I�m sorry, but you don�t help any when you�re looking as sexy as you are now.�
�Just put it away.�
�You�re so mean.�
�Yeah I know.�
He gave her a little gentle squeeze and tried to go back to the movie. He couldn�t concentrate though while lying next to Sunshine and he went back to concentrating on her. He just stared at her body for the longest time until she sat up. He looked at her and watched, as she took the arm sling off then lay back down next to him. She rested herself against his chest and yawned.
�Maybe if you sleep at night.�
�Shut up.� She looked at him and he kissed her.
She went back to watching the movie and he sighed. He looked her over again and grinned. He got a glimpse of a little cleavage and it was enough to make his blood boil in the good way. He ran his hand up her leg and the way she had her legs positioned was good enough for him to go inside to her thigh. She shifted against him this time and he smiled; waiting for her to say something or do something. When she didn�t he moved his hand up further and heard a soft moan come from her. Nickolas rubbed the inside of her thigh for a moment, as Sunshine tried to hide how much he was making her hot. Nickolas smiled and moved his hand from the inside of her thigh. He continued smiling and moved the hair away from her ear.
�What are you doing?� Sunshine asked.
�Your hair is going up my nose,� Nickolas replied.
�Oh.�
��K.� He moved the rest of her hair and lightly kissed the sensitive spot behind her ear and whispered her name, �Sunnie.�
�Nicky�� He kissed her again and sent chills throughout her body. �You�re horrible. You never listen to me.�
�Yeah I do. I just don�t listen to ya when I want to turn you on.�
She looked at him. �Like I said, you�re horrible.� He smiled and kissed her. She kissed him in return, as he positioned himself on top of her.
Nickolas lightly kissed her and asked, �Have I told you lately that I love?� She shook her head. �Well I do. I love you, Sunnie, more than you�ll ever know.�
�I love you too.�
�That�s why I feel horrible about the way I treated you and I�ll probably always feel horrible about it.�
�Shh.� She pressed her finger against his lips. �You did what you done, because you were afraid. Perhaps if I had told you the truth things would�ve been different. But I chose not to be honest; which hurt you�and I�m sorry.�
�Not as sorry as I am.�
�Are we going to fight about this?�
�No.�
�Good.� She kissed him.
�Where did you get this sexy little outfit?� He looked her over.
�The online playboy store.� She grinned innocently. �I got it to match my tattoo. Well I got the tattoo to match this �sexy little outfit�.� She smiled.
�What tattoo?�
�The tattoo I have on my pelvis; the playboy bunny.� Nickolas just looked at her confused. �Gees, Nick, I swear you�re blind half the time.� She pushed him up then moved her shorts so he could see the black playboy bunny tattoo.
�When did you get that done?�
�A little over a month ago after I got this outfit.�
�You-You-You-You left some strange guy touch you?�
�Don�t worry I didn�t go alone. Someone was with me.�
�Who?�
�Someone.�
�As in who?� She just looked at him. �Come on, Sweets, who was it?�
�Just someone.� They looked at each other for the longest time then she gave in. �Ok it was Bradley.�
�Brad?�
�Yeah; well you were pissed at me and the other guys were busy and Aaron was out of town so Brad was my only option. He didn�t want to go along, but I begged him to so the tattoo guy wouldn�t try anything. If you�re going to get all pissy ass about it then that�s your problem and you can get the hell out of my condo.�
They just looked at each other a moment then Nickolas grinned. �You are so unbelievably sexy when you get angry.� He leaned down and kissed her. �And I mean sexy.�
�I�m not angry. I was just merely stating the facts.
�I�m actually glad Fischetti protected you from some perverted tattoo guy.�
�It would have been better if it was you.�
�Then why didn�t you ask?�
�Because I was afraid you would start a fight with me and I didn�t want that. So I played it safe and asked my best friend.�
�Can I be your best friend instead?� Sunshine just shook her head and looked away from him. �I ain�t starting anything, Sweets, so don�t worry. I�d just rather be your best friend instead of Brad.� She looked at him. �Is that so wrong to want?�
�No.�
�You�re my best friend.�
�I thought Brian was.�
�You can have more than one and I got two.� He smiled.
�I�ll have to think about it.�
�If that�s the best you can do.�
�Well ya still haven�t proven to me that this�us�we are forever. Until then all you get is �I�ll have to think about it�s�.� She smiled this time.
�You�re going to play hard ball, aren�t you?�
�Hell yeah.�
�I see how you are.�
�I do love you though.�
�That�s nice.�
�Dick; get off me.� She pushed him off her and he fell to the floor; taking her with him. She hit her shoulder off the coffee table and cried in pain. �Fuck!� She put her left hand on her right shoulder and laid her forehead on Nickolas� chest.
�Are you all right, Sweets?�
�No; it hurts.�
He wrapped his arms around her. �Shh! Nicky�s here.� He caressed her back. �I�m sorry.�
�It ain�t your fault.�
�Yes it is. I pulled you with me.�
�But I pushed you knowing you had a hold of me.�
�Don�t go blaming yourself.�
�It�s better than blaming you.�
�Come on.� He got them both up off the floor and laid her on the sofa. He then went to the kitchen and came back out with a thing of ice. �Here, Sweets, put this on it.� She looked at him, as he sat next to her and gently put the ice on her shoulder.
�Thank you.�
�You�re welcome.� He wiped away the wet tears from her cheeks and kissed her forehead. �You�ll be better before ya get married.� He smiled and she grinned and shook her head.
�You�re horrible.�
�No�� He looked deep into her eyes and placed a hand on her face. �I�m just in love.� She just looked at him and he leaned down; placing his lips softly on hers in a kiss.
