�Yes,� Brian said. �Sunn called and said he was since she�s going with our wives. If he wasn�t I�m sure they�d call and say so.�
�Unless they were doing their business,� Alexander said as they got out and walked into the complex. �When that happens ya usually forget everything else.� He laughed and the others shook their heads.
�Only you, Bone,� Howard said patting Alexander on the back, as they got on the elevator.
�Isn�t �no� in her vocabulary?� Kevin asked and they all looked to see Sapphire before the elevator closed.
�No,� the three guys said.
�Well Sunshine and Nickolas should get her for harassment,� Kevin said. �Because that�s what she�s doing.�
�I don�t think they�re letting her bother them,� Brian stated.
�D, this is your building,� Alexander began, �can�t ya, like, ban her from it or something.�
�I tried that,� Howard admitted. �And I tried other things. I�m trying to think of things before I get the police involved. I don�t want to make a big thing of it.�
�Well ya should,� Alexander said. �It�s not fair to Sunn and Nick always coming here and seeing her.�
�No it�s not,� Kevin agreed as the elevator stopped and some people got on. They went up to the eighteenth floor in silence then got off the elevator. They walked to the condo and Kevin knocked.
�They�re probably banging,� Alexander said. �So they�re not going to answer.�
�Will you shut up,� Kevin said as the door opened and they looked.
�Hey, guys,� Sunshine said. �You�re early.�
�I said 6:30/7,� Brian reminded her.
�It�s only ten after six,� Sunshine pointed out.
�So Nick ain�t ready,� Kevin said.
�No,� Sunshine stated leaving them in. �He just got out of the shower.�
�AS did you,� Alexander said messing her wet combed hair.
�That�s none of your damn business,� Sunshine rebutted closing the door. �Nick�s getting dressed. I�ll go tell him you�re here.� She left the guys and went back to her room.
�Is it just me or is Sunn extra hot when wet?� Alexander asked. They just looked at him not saying anything. �I�m being serious. If I wasn�t with Des and she wasn�t with Nick I�d take her.�
�You had a shot,� Howard reminded him. �Just like I did.�
�Right.� He sat on the sofa. �I forgot.� The others sat down. �I�d still take a second chance if we weren�t taken.�
�I hope Nick comes out and kicks your ass,� Brian said.
�Let him try.�
�Even if ya�s weren�t with anyone,� Kevin began, �and she did give ya another chance, it wouldn�t last. She wants to be with Nickolas and you can�t change that.�
�Well, actually, I just want to give her one more bone in her body.� He smirked and the others left out disgusted sighs. �I just want on really wild night and I know she�s the one that�ll give it to ya.�
�Isn�t Destiny wild enough for ya?� Howard asked.
�She�s wild, but not my fantasy wild like Sunn is. Destiny�s got that outside the bedroom party wildness, ya know.� They nodded. �But Sunn�s got that sexy shy look going on and they are the types that are wild in the bedroom.� They looked at him. �You guys have to agree there.�
�Uh�� Brian began.
�You guys can�t tell me your sex lives are better than Nick�s is; because Jo, Dani, and V don�t have that sexy shy thing going on and neither does Des.�
�Well no,� Kevin said. �But I ain�t fantasizing about Sunshine.�
�Me either,� Brian added.
�Or me,� Howard agreed.
�You�re nuts,� Alexander said.
�So you fantasize about it,� Brian said and Alexander grinned.
�Do you wish you were still with her?� Kevin questioned.
�Of course not,� Alexander replied. �Look what happened before.� They looked at Howard. �I just want to bone Sunn.�
�Well you�re not going to,� Nickolas rebutted and they looked to see him and Sunshine. �I�ll kick your ass if ya even try it.�
�Yes, sir,� Alexander said as Nickolas sat down.
�I�m glad ya think of me as boneing material,� Sunshine said sarcastically sitting on Nickolas� lap. �Not.� She rolled her eyes. �How can ya put up with him?�
�Ya get use to it,� Kevin said.
�But I�ve known him for six years and I still ain�t,� Sunshine replied.
�For guys it�s different,� Nickolas said.
�I believe it,� Sunshine said. �But you guys are the best.�
�We know,� the guys said.
�But Nicky�s better than ya�ll,� Sunshine stated and he kissed her.
�Of course,� Alexander said and she smiled. �No one else comes close.�
�To you�no one makes me fell the way you do�� Sunshine began singing and the guys joined her. �You�re so special girl to me�and you�ll always be eternally�every time I hold you near�you always say the words I long to hear�� The phone rang and Nickolas picked it up.
�Hello?� Nickolas said over the singing group and heard Destiny�s voice in response, �Hey�yes she is�she�s sitting on my lap singing with the guys�yeah�I guess Danielle said seven�do you want to talk to her?� He looked at his wife and smiled. �Hold on.� He put his hand over Sunshine�s mouth. �Destiny wants to talk to ya.�
�Ok,� Sunshine said taking the phone and beginning to talk.
�Well I�m ready to go,� Alexander said. �We got a long night ahead of us.�
�Yeah, yeah,� Brian said as they got up except for Nickolas. �You coming, Prick?�
�In a minute,� Nickolas said. �I�ll meet ya at the elevator.�
�Alright,� Kevin said as they walked to the door. �Five minutes.�
�Ok,� Nickolas said as the four guys walked out and he looked at Sunshine. She turned off the phone and looked at him.
�You leaving?� Sunshine asked.
�Yeah.� She made a face. �I understand.� She straddled him and kissed him as she felt him get hard under her. �You can�t keep doing this, Sweets.�
�Doing what?�
�Arousing me when I�m ready to leave.�
She smiled. �Maybe you better go before I change my mind.� She kissed his neck.
�Yeah.� He got up and she left him go. �I�ll see ya in a few hours.� She nodded and he kissed her. She smiled at him and watched him walk out.

Sunshine looked at herself in the full-length mirror and sighed. Black glittery pants and a silver glittery tank top. She made a disgusted face. Too glittery. She walked to the closet to pick out something else. She looked through her clothes ad just settled on a pair of black pleather pants. She changed her pants and sat on the bed to put on her boots. She started putting on her shoes and looked at a picture of her and Nickolas.
It wasn�t just her and Nickolas though. There were two little boys. One looked like Nickolas and the other looked like her, but they both had blonde hair and blue eyes like Nickolas. She closed her eyes for a moment and a tear slid down her cheek. She opened her eyes again and looked at the picture; just her and Nickolas again. She shook her head in disgust and finished getting ready.
She looked herself over in the mirror one more time then walked from her room. She started walking down the hall when she heard the door open then it was followed by talking. She realized it was the girls and continued making her way to the parlor. She walked into the parlor and they looked at her. They smiled and she walked to the kitchen. The girls followed and watched her get a bottle of water and take medicine.
�Are you all right?� Destiny asked.
�Yeah,� Sunshine replied. �It�s just for my, uh�� She didn�t finish and they looked at her.
�Are you sure you want to go tonight?� Venus asked. �Are you feeling up to it?�
�Yeah; I haven�t gone anywhere for four months. I�ve been staying home and not doing anything. I think it�s time I come out of hiding. What better way to do it then with my four best girl friends, huh?� She smiled. �Where are we going?�
�Des wants to go club hopping to see which spot is hot, but if she doesn�t like any then we�re going to Tabu,� Josephine replied.
�Oh. Ok. Whatever.�
�Unless you want to go someplace else and not club hop,� Destiny said.
�Whatever�s fine.�
�But you�re good to go out?� Danielle wanted to make sure.
�Yeah.�
�Well, ya just had an abortion,� Venus reminded her.
�Thanks for reminding me, V. I forgot all about it, but at least I can always count on you. Perhaps you�d like to tell the world.�
�Sorry,� Venus said and Sunshine shook her head.
�It was me or the twins and Nick chose me. He wanted to prove to everyone how much he loves me. I chose the babies, but Nick didn�t want that. He chose me and gave up his chance of having children.�
�Do you know what the babies were?� Destiny asked.
�Boys.� They looked at her. �I guess that doesn�t matter now. It�s over with and I can�t turn back time and undo it.� They looked at her as she wiped away a tear.
�We�re sorry, Sunn,� Destiny said.
�Don�t; I just want to have a normal fun night tonight. We hardly go out anymore, just the five of us. Let�s do it before Des and Dan go into labor. If we keep standing here they�ll have the babies in my kitchen.� They laughed.
�Then let�s go,� Danielle said. �The kids are with the sitters and the guys are out. This is ladies night.� They nodded in agreement as they left the kitchen and walked to the door. �No nagging husbands so we�re going to have fun.�
�Lots of fun,� Destiny added and they all started singing while walking out of the condo, �Oh this is ladies night�and the feel is right�oh this is ladies night�oh what a night��
