�Hey, Sweets.� He sat down beside her.
�Hey, Baby.�
�You�ve been out here for awhile. Everything all right?�
�Yeah; just enjoying the nice night.�
�Without me?� She smiled and started sitting up and Nickolas helped her.
�Well you were busy and I didn�t want to bother ya.� He put his arms around her.
�You can bother me all ya want, because I don�t mind at all.�
�In that case then one day I�m going to strip naked and stand in front of you while you�re playing video games.� She looked at him and smiled.
�Please do so.� He smiled and kissed her. �I wouldn�t mind at all.�
�Of course not. Why would ya? I�m a woman and I�ll be naked.�
�Not just any woman though; my wife. My sexy talented beautiful caring gorgeous fun-loving wife.� He kissed her again.
�You�ve known me for six years and know I�m none of that so what drugs are you on?�
�None. I�m clean. You are all that and I�m happy with that. I�m happy with you.�
�Are you?�
�Of course I am. Why would you ask that?� She shrugged. �I love you and I�m happy and if I wasn�t I wouldn�t have spent, like, four years of my life waiting for you.�
�I��
�Also, I wouldn�t have proposed and married you and picked you over our children and be so worried about you all the time. I wouldn�t have done any of that if I wasn�t happy with you or love you.�
�I just don�t want ya to regret your decision.�
�I don�t and I won�t. Plus we�ve been having this conversation all day and I think it�s time we change it.� She smiled. �How are you feeling though?�
�Fine. Never better.�
�Are you lying?�
�Of course not. Why would I?�
�Just making sure.�
�That medicine�s working good.�
�Really?� He gave her a seducing grin.
�I don�t like that look.�
�Why not? You like it any other time.�
�Well todays different.�
�How so? She shrugged. �That�s because it ain�t.�
�I really ain�t in the mood�although this beach is bringing back wonderful memories.�
�I was having that same exact thought.�
�Of course you were. You�re a man.�
�But that�s not the only thing on my mind, Sweets. I also got video games, food, my music, my family, the ocean and beach, and other things.�
�And?�
�That�s about it. They�re just the main things really.� He nodded. �Yes they are.�
�That�s what I think about also along with my acting.�
�And?�
�Um�I can�t think of anything else.�
�Perhaps I can get your mind working.� He laid her down and started kissing her.
�Nicky, I said I wasn�t in the mood.�
�But I am.�
�But it doesn�t mean ya have to take advantage of me in the process.�
He stopped and looked at her.
�I ain�t taking advantage of you.�
�Whatever.�
�I do not take advantage of you when I�m in the mood�you�re always in the mood when I am.�
�Yeah, but I ain�t now.�
�But that�s just too bad.�
�And it�s too bad for you.�
�Why?�
�Because I ain�t in the mood.�
�And you�re no fun.�
�Ya know what? I�m going to go climb in the hot tub and relax.� She got up.
�But I want you to relax with me.� He got on his knees and put his arms around her.
�You can join me if ya want. It is big enough for two.�
�Of course and I will.� He got up and they walked back to the house.
