I had no idea what came over me. I just wanted to kiss Nickolas like I did earlier. I didn�t care about Cameron. I didn�t care I was engaged. I didn�t care I was getting married in a month. I didn�t care about anything at that moment. I just wanted to be in Nickolas� arms, the only place where I felt the safest. I wanted to be there in his arms for the rest of the night. I didn�t care what would happen. I didn�t care if we got caught. I just wanted to be with him.
I just held onto him tighter and continued kissing him. I don�t think it was bothering him any, as he kissed me. It felt so good having his lips massaging mine with that gentleness. It also felt so right, like it�s supposed to be me and him and not me and Cameron. I couldn�t believe I was going to marry Cameron and give up Nickolas� sweet kisses, his gentle touch, his way of making me feel better, his everything actually. But who said I had to give it up when I married Cameron? What he didn�t know wouldn�t hurt him.
I felt Nickolas� fingers go through my hair and it felt so good. I left out a moan and Nickolas chuckled, as he moved down to my neck. He kissed my neck and started unbuttoning my blouse. I didn�t care though. I wanted him to. I wanted him. I wanted him to be with me the whole night. All I had to do was ask and he would, just like the first time. He wouldn�t put up a fight. Not even a little fuss.
�Nicky?�
�Evvie.� He kissed me again putting his tongue in my mouth.
�I want you.�
�I want you too.� I held onto the front of his shirt and started backing up. I don�t know how far we went until we ran into my desk. I pushed some stuff off and Nickolas laid me back. I could tell he wanted this as much as I did, but I wasn�t going to complain. We continued kissing for what seemed like forever. Nickolas took his hand up my leg and found his way up my skirt. I wrapped my legs around him and just held onto him, as he kissed me. He stopped and looked at me. �Are ya sure you want this? I mean you�re engaged and ya know that when I start something I can�t stop. This is included. If ya want me to stop you better let me know now.� I didn�t say anything, but just kissed him, as my phone beeped.
�Damn it.�
�Do you have to? You�re the boss.� He kissed my chest.
�Um�I should.� Oh damn the sensations he sends through my body by just one little touch. My phone beeped again and I reached for it, as Nickolas continued kissing me. I hit a button. �Yeah�Shakira?� Nickolas tickled me and I jumped. �Ooh!�
�Um�the movers are here with your stuff,� Shakira said.
�Oh�um�� Nickolas tickled me again. �Nick, stop it.� He looked at me and grinned. �Um�give me, like, three minutes.�
�Alright.�
�Thank you.� I looked at Nickolas.
�Three minutes, huh?� Nickolas said. �We better make this fast.� He kissed me.
�Mmm, Nicky, stop.�
�What�s wrong?�
�We can�t do this now. I�m sorry.�
�But I�m excited.�
�I know, but we can�t.� I pushed him off me and got up. It killed me to push him away like that, but I had to. I rebuttoned my blouse and fixed my skirt. I looked in the mirror and redid my hair, as I noticed Nickolas looking at me. �What?� I turned and looked at him. He shook his head and I walked over to him. �My Nicky upset now?� He didn�t say anything. �Well that�s just too bad.� I fixed his shirt and his hair.
�Yes I am upset, because us being interrupted always happens.�
�Not all the time.�
�I can name like hundreds of occasions where we got interrupted. How many can you name?�
�I can name one where we didn�t.� He smiled. �February 14, 2000. When you had those few days off and you flew me to Paris, because you thought I deserved a very special Valentines.�
�Romantic also.�
�Yeah, but you left your girlfriend in New York�alone.�
�Like you cared. You couldn�t stand her and neither could I.� He smiled. �What better way to experience your first time with than your best friend?�
�If it�s a member of the opposite sex.� He nodded. �Then it�s alright I guess.� He went to kiss me, but I walked away. I opened the door and saw a bunch of moving guys. �You can get this shit out of here.� I went back over to the desk to move my stuff with Nickolas watching me.
�Sugar Bear, we need to talk.�
�Later. Ok?� I looked at him and grinned, but he didn�t crack a smile.

�Nickolas�
I just looked at Evangelique, as she cleaned off the desk and put the stuff on the windowsill. The movers started taking the stuff out and Evangelique looked at me. She smiled and I walked over to her. She put her one arm around me and laid her head down. I put my arm around her and rubbed her shoulder. We stood like that for about ten minutes, as the movers went back and forth.
�Evvie?�
�Yeah.� I just had to ask this question.
�Are you and Cameron�um�uh��
�No, Nick.� She looked at me. �We�re not even living in the same house let alone sleeping in the same bed and having sex. I probably slept at his house a total of three times since we�ve been together and it was on the sofa by myself.�
�Oh.�
�Why did you ask anyway?�
�No reason.� What a lie that was. I think she knew that too, because she looked at me and smiled. �Just wondering.�
�Are you?�
�Not since you.� I smiled.
�Right.� She rolled her eyes. �A good-looking guy like you can get any one on the sack.�
�A good-looking guy like myself can�t get any one in the sack.� She just looked at me. �I got lucky with you though.� She just made a face and nodded. �Well, a hottie like you can get any guy.�
�Whatever. I just got lucky with you.�
�I ain�t the one getting married.� Damn I hated the thought of it and the sound of it. She just looked at me and I smiled. She smiled in return and shook her head. �What?�
�Nothing.�
�Whatever.� She left me go and I watched her walk over to her closet. She opened it up and started looking in. I watched as she bent over and I just looked at her ass. Such a nice ass it was. I smiled to myself and walked over to her. I just wanted to be near her. I didn�t care what we did just as long as I was near her. Touching her would be even better though. Just feeling her soft smooth skin against my own flesh satisfied me. Everything about her satisfied me. I stood behind her and grabbed her ass.
�Ahh!� She jumped and looked at me, as I laughed. �Jerk.�
�What are you looking for?�
�Whatever I find.� She turned away from me, as my cell phone rang. She looked at me, as I answered it.
�Hello?�
�Hey, Frack,� came Brian�s voice.
��Sup Rok?�
�Are you still with Ev?�
�Yeah. Why?�
�We�re all getting together and Leigh wants you and Ev to join us.�
�We already made plans.�
�Oh. Hold on.� I heard Brian say something then I heard Leighanne, his wife, in the background. �Nick, Leigh wants to talk to ya.�
�Alright.� I waited a couple seconds.
�Nick,� came Leighanne�s voice this time.
�Hey, Leigh.�
�What are you and Eve doing tonight?�
�Ordering pizza and watching movies.�
�We�re doing the exact same thing, so why don�t you and Eve come up to Orlando. You guys can stay with me and Brian for the night instead of driving all the way back down.� Her voice was so pleading and I smiled.
�I don�t know. It was Ev�s idea and all.�
�Just ask her.�
�Alright.� I sighed and looked at Evangelique, who was still rooting in the closet.
�Where the hell did he put them?� Evangelique asked out loud.
�Evvie?�
�Hmm?� She didn�t even look at me.
�Leigh wants to know if you�re interested in going up to Orlando and joining their festivities tonight.� She looked at me. �I�m sure she�ll understand if you say �no.��
�If ya want to. I mean we had our own plans.�
�It�s up to you.�
�I guess. I don�t care.� She went back to her searching.
�Nick, tell her I really want to see her,� Leighanne said.
�Leigh said she really wants to see you.�
�Alright,� Evangelique said.
�Tell her it�ll be everyone,� Leighanne said. �Brian, Kris, Kevin, Amanda, Alex, Howie, Claudia, and me.�
�Um, Leigh�Ev and Claudia don�t get along.� Evangelique looked at me and I grinned. �By the look on Ev�s face I don�t think she�s going to go along with it.�
�Of course I am,� Evangelique said shutting the closet and walking away. �I ain�t giving that bitch the satisfaction. I was Howie�s friend way before she was even a thought in his mind. I�ll be damned if I let another little money hungry bitch try and come between me and my friends.� I knew exactly who she was talking about and sighed. �We�re going.� I nodded.
�Alright, Leigh. We�ll be there.�
�Great,� Leighanne said. �I�ll see ya�s in a bit then.�
�Yeah,� I said and turned off the phone. I looked at Evangelique, as she went into the bathroom.
