Dakota walked into Nickolas� room the next morning and saw him still sleeping. She smiled and walked over to the bed. She just looked at him a moment then kicked off her sandals and laid down beside him. She got really close to him and laid her head on his bare chest and put her arm across his waist. She closed her eyes just as she felt Nickolas� arms go around her tightly. She looked up at him and saw his smiling face.
�Did I wake you?�
�Yeah.�
�I�m sorry.�
�Don�t be. I�m glad ya did.�
�Of course you�� She didn�t finish, as he kissed her.
�I could get use to this.�
�Use to what?�
�This; waking up with you beside me in my arms and seeing your gorgeous face.� Dakota rolled her eyes. �You are gorgeous.�
�Whatever.� He kissed her again.
�What are you doing here?�
�I wanted to see you.�
�Wasn�t calling me in the middle of the night good enough?�
�No.� She grinned. �I had to see your sexy face.� He rolled his eyes this time. �You are sexy.�
�Whatever.� She kissed him this time. �I�m glad you�re here though.�
�Why?�
�No reason. I just missed you.�
�And I missed you.�
�How�d you get in?�
�Well�we stopped by your parents to drop Ken off, but BJ said Aaron was here so she dropped us off before going to see a friend.�
�I see.�
�MyKenna and Aaron have plans today.�
�Just like us.� She just looked at him. �I�m taking you to see D remember?�
�Oh right.�
�We�re going with,� Aaron said, as him and MyKenna stepped into the room, as Nickolas quickly put Dakota�s one leg over his crotch before they noticed anything strange. Dakota looked at him and grinned.
�Excuse me?� Nickolas said. �Do ya mind? Get the hell out.�
�We�re going to Orlando with you,� Aaron repeated.
�I don�t think so.�
�Why not?�
�Because I said.�
�C�mon, Nick. We�ve done everything we could possibly do here. We need something new to do.�
�Try Busch Gardens.�
�We don�t want to.�
�Sure we do,� MyKenna said and Aaron looked at her. �Please. I was never there and I want to check it out.�
�Don�t you want to spend this last day with your beautiful girlfriend?� Dakota questioned Aaron.
�Sure he does,� Nickolas said. �He�s leaving 6 a.m. tomorrow so he won�t be able to see her off.�
�You�re leaving?� MyKenna said.
�Well yeah,� Aaron said glaring at his brother. �I have to go to LA.�
�So then let�s make the most of this last day together,� MyKenna said and he looked at her. �Don�t make me beg, because I don�t want to do it.�
�No one likes a beggar,� Dakota said smiling.
�Well you were begging for it last night,� Nickolas snickered and Dakota hit him in the gut. �Oye!�
�It could�ve been a few inches lower,� Dakota stated and Aaron laughed.
�The same with you,� MyKenna said and Aaron got serious.
�Pussy-whipped,� Dakota smirked. �HeHe.� Nickolas laughed.
�So are you, Nickolas,� Aaron said.
�Whatever,� Dakota and Nickolas said and Nickolas added, �I�m just in love.� Him and Dakota looked at each other and smiled.
�How pathetic,� Aaron said.
�Now just the other day you were saying how cool it was that your brother�s in love,� MyKenna said.
�Well he wasn�t doing it in front of me,� Aaron said.
�I can�t wait �til Aaron�s in love,� Dakota said. �He�s going to be a million times worse.�
�Whatever,� Aaron said rolling his eyes and the others laughed.
�When you find her, Aaron, you�ll know,� Nickolas said. �It�s the best feeling in the world.�
�I�m sure it is,� Aaron said.
�It is,� Dakota stated.
�Now will you get the hell out,� Nickolas requested.
�Nicky,� Dakota said and he looked at her.
�We�re going to Orlando with you,� Aaron stated.
�No you�re not,� Nickolas replied.
�Yeah,� Aaron said.
�Does MyKenna have her license?� Nickolas asked.
�No,� MyKenna said. �Just a permit.�
�Then that ain�t going to work,� Nickolas said.
�What?� Dakota asked.
�Give her the keys to one of my cars for the day,� Nickolas said. �But since she doesn�t have a license that won�t work.�
�You could always say it was stolen.�
�Yeah right, with my brother in the passenger side. I don�t think it�ll work.�
�Then tell them you were running errands and when you came home it was gone.�
�Aaron might tattle like he always does so just forget that idea.�
�Or MyKenna could go get her license.� They all looked at her. �Then when she goes back home she can always get them switched to England licenses.�
�I like that idea,� MyKenna said. �I was just thinking that same thought.�
�That might work,� Nickolas agreed nodding. �Yeah it will.�
�Just one question,� Aaron said. �How is she getting to the DMV?�
�Nick,� Dakota and MyKenna said.
�Excuse me?� Nickolas said.
�I�m entitled to a great birthday week, Mr. Carter,� MyKenna said. And you said it yourself that it was a good idea.� He just looked at her. �If you don�t want me and Aaron tagging along then I suggest you take me to the DMV.�
�I don�t know,� Nickolas said.
�Please, Nick,� Dakota said. �I don�t want them tagging along to my interview with the great Howiedini.�
��Howiedini�?� Nickolas, Aaron, and MyKenna said.
�Yeah,� Dakota said.
�Where the hell do you come up with this stuff?� Nickolas wanted to know and Dakota smiled. �I could just imagine what you call me.�
�Well actually�� Dakota started.
�Never mind,� Nickolas said. �I don�t want to know.�
�I do,� Aaron said.
�Well you don�t need to,� Nickolas said. �If you get the hell out of my room I�ll take MyKenna to the DMV that way you can have a car.�
�Thank you, Nickolas,� MyKenna said walking over to the bed. She kissed his cheek and Aaron glared at his brother.
�Get your lips off him,� Dakota said pushing her away. �He�s mine.�
�Exactly,� Aaron agreed and they looked at him.
�Someone jealous?� MyKenna asked looking at Aaron while walking over to him.
�Of that?� Aaron said looking at his brother. �Hell no.�
�Get out!� Nickolas yelled and MyKenna and Aaron ran out. �He never listens.�
�Does he agitate my Nicky?� Dakota asked getting on top of him.
�He has his moments.�
�Aww my poor baby.� She kissed him, as she pushed against his groin and he moaned.
�What time is it?�
�After 11; you slept long.�
�Yeah, well you woke me up at 2:30 in the morning and then I couldn�t get back to sleep.�
�Why not?�
�The sound of your voice kept me awake.� He gave his side smile to show that he wasn�t being innocent last night. She smiled and shook her head. �Why couldn�t you wait until morning?�
�I don�t know.� She sat up on him. �I couldn�t sleep and Kenna and I were talking. She said that if it was her and Aaron in the same situation she�d do it. Then she had to mention about you being in love with me and all this and that. Then she said about me living out on the street and that kind of pushed me to say �yes�.� She smiled. �I thought about it and about what your sister would think, but then I was just like �screw it, forget BJ, because it�s what Nick wants and if she has a problem with me then so be it. I ain�t trying to please her; I�m trying to please Nick�.�
�Well I�m glad you thought that and I ain�t going to let my sister get to you. Besides when she gets to know ya she�ll learn to love ya.� Dakota grinned and leaned down to kiss him. �Is that what you�re wearing to meet Howie?� She looked at him. �It�s not very professional; a tank and shorts.�
�I brought a dress along.� Nickolas nodded. �I ain�t a big fan of dresses and don�t like to wear them longer than I have to. I�ll change then.�
�Just wondering.� He smiled.
�Nick, come on!� Aaron yelled. �By the time you get your ass out of bed the day will be over!�
�Give me like 45 minutes!� Nickolas yelled back. �I want to shower first!� He looked at Dakota.
�Some people are so impatient.�
�Like you,� Dakota said kissing him. �I�ll go so you can get showered and dressed and do your business.�
�Why don�t you do my business for me?�
�You can take care of it yourself.� She smirked.
�Yeah, yeah.� He kissed her and she got up and left the room, as he watched her.
