Karine rolled over, and felt herself hit a body. She moaned a little, and opened her eyes.
Trying her best to focus her vision to see the beautiful blue eyes of her one and only love, she was given a light kiss on the lips.
"Hey baby, how are you feeling?" Nick asked running his large hand around her cheek.
"Ahh well I still feel a little woosie, but other than that I think I am doing pretty well..." Karine replied, closing her eyes, and loving the feeling of his hands on her face.
"Karine, I know how badly I hurt you, with bing so close to Mandy when you were right here, but I want you to know that I love you so much and I never want to loose you ever again..." Nick sweetly said, then kissing her forehead softly.
A few tears filled Karine's eyes, but she held them back. "That's the sweetest thing you ever said to me Nick. I love you too..."
Nick gently pulled her face to his, and planted a few loving kisses on her sofy lips. "Now, baby, I want you to take a shower. I'm going to take you out to breakfast, and then shopping!" Nick said, smiling his sexy smile at her.
"Umm..Nick i don't really know if I'm ready to get up yet..." she replied with a smirk across her face.
"Oh really...hmmm...maybe I'll just have to think of a way to get you out of bed and into that nice...warm...shower..." where the pauses were provided he kissed her lips softly.
"Nick you are making this harder and harder for me to make myself get out of this bed..."
"Do you want me to carry you in there?"
"Nickolas Carter, you are not going to! I am gonna go take that shower now, while you and your hormones sit right here on this bed, and wait for me to finsih!" When she was finsished talking, she gave Nick a long kiss, and went into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door.
*at the same time*
After a night of tossing and turning, Brian opened his eyes to the bright morning light. He remembered those mornings which the light would shine ever so gracefully on Alicia's face, and he would gently stroak her chek until she awoke and showed him her beautiful brown eyes.
He groaned, as he remembered what he did to her, he wondered if he would ever get the chance to get her back now. How much he wished and prayed to god that this whole thing would be a dream; yet every morning her woke up and still right there laying next to him he found an empty space.
Deciding that today was the day that him and Nick were going to talk about there little "plan", he climbed out of his warm bed, and hopped into the shower.
*10 minutes later*
"Oh god AJ, is that the sun already? I feel like I just fell asleep ten minutes ago!" Sarah said, rubbing her eyes, as she heard their alarm go off.
"Yea baby, well we are going to spend the day here, and I think we have plane tickets back tonight or something. Then we can sleep in our own bed, for however long we want!" AJ replied, pulling the covers over his head, and sighing.
About a few minutes later, AJ felt Sarah's hand slowly stroaking his chest. "Yesss??" he asked suductivly.
Sarah pulled the covers down to where his boxers were, and gave him a slow sexual kiss. "Wanna join me in the shower?" she asked, as her mouth moved down to his neck, down his throat and to his nipples where she gently bit on them.
"MmmHmm baby...let's get in that shower now, I can harldy wait..." AJ moaned as she brought her lips up to his again, and kissed him before grabbing his hands and pulling him into the bathroom.
*later that day*
"AJ,AJ,AJ!!" Karine giggled loudly, wanting to get his attention.
They were in the mall, and they just walked by the tattoo parlor. She was going to see if anyone wanted to go get a tattoo.
"What! Stop your wining child! Jesus! Nick how can you put up with this day in and day out?" AJ asked rubbing his head.
"He woves me AJ!!" Karine said in a baby voice.
"What were you two drinking Nick?" Sarah asked.
"Nothing! I ahve no clue, she is in such a hyper mood today aren't you baby.." Nick said, kissing her cheek. He only got a giggle in reply.
"Guys, maybe we should call Ali. I mean I wonder how she is..." Sarah said, concerned for her friend.
"Oh yea!Aww i bet she is home all alone, and then oh god guys we better call her!" AJ thought aloud.
So they called her on AJ's cell phone, and she agreed to meet them at the mall in 20 minutes.
*30 minutes later; McDonalds*
"So, Ali, what's happening with you and Brian? You really haven't said much lately. Everything ok?" Nick asked, gently holding Karine's hand.
"Ohh no...nothing is different. I just wish he would come and talk to me! I mean its not like I'm going to bite his head off or something!" Ali said, letting out a frustrated sigh.
"Oh yea, trust me hunnie, I know how you feel..." Karine said, then giving Nick a smile.
"Hey!! I'm sorry, I wanted you back since the first time I saw you guys at the concert!!" Nick voiced seriously.
"Yea, well. Thats you and Karine. Everything is different with me and Brian now. I just can't believe he would hurt me physically...that hurt me more than the emotionally..."
"Well, we are just going to have to talk to Brian, now aren't we AJ?" Nick said, smiling.
"Ohh yes, my brother!" AJ said, knowing exactly what he was talking about.
"Wait...guys...whats going on?" Karine asked, looking at Nick and then over to AJ.
"Oh hun, you'll find ut soon. It's nothing bad, I can promise you that. Its just a little plan that us "guys" know about, and you girls will just have to wait and find out." Nick gave her a little kiss when he finished.
"Yea, and I can tell you, Ali, you and Bri will be back together in no time..." AJ said, a smirk plastered on his face.
"You guys are sooo evil!" Sarah said, throwing a french fry at Nick, and then the little bit of her burger at AJ.
"Oh hunnie, you don't want anymore! Thanx! Now I can eat some more!" AJ said, shoving the rest of Sarah's burger into his mouth.
"Yummy!" he said when he was done chewing.
Sarah just laughed, and wiped the excess katchup that was on the corner of his mouth away, and kissed him softly.
"Well, girls, we must be getting back! WE have to tell Brian about our idea!!" Nick teased them.
"Ohh I hate you guys!" ALi said, a slight smile on her face.
"Wow, girl, I haven't seen you smile in so long..." AJ commented, as the group walked out of the restaurant, and headed back to the hotel.
*20 minutes later*
"Brian, man, please, just talk to her, and tell her how you are feeling!" Nick said, frustrated with his best friend.
"Nick!!" Brian whined. "I wanna tell her that ?I love her and I am so sorry for everything, but then, I mena I hit her Nick! Do you know what its like to have the feeling that you physically hurt the girl you love like that?"
"I know what it feels like emotional, B. But you are going to have to talk to her!"
"Yes, I realize that ass, but I think I'm going to wait until we take them away..."
"Brian, by then it might be to late!"
"Nick, that is my final decision!"
"Jesus Christ Bri, you sound like Regis, from who wants to be a millionaire!"
Brian smiled a little, and then laughed. "Is that your final answer?" Brian said, trying to make his voice the same as Regis's.
Nick pretended to be in deep thought. "Yes, that is my final decision..." Nick then burst out laughing, along with Brian.
"See there you go Bri, you need to laugh and think about other things!"
"Yea, your right!"
*meanwhile*
"I'll run to you with open arms..." Karine sang, as she scrunched her hair, so it would show its natural curls.
"Oh god, Karine, shut the hell up!" ALicia said, falling down on the bed like she had just been shot.
"What? I have a wonderful voice!" Karine replied.
Alicia coughed, "Yea, hunnie, its wonderful.." Ali said, then laughing.
"Anyways..." Karine interuppted to get off the subject.
"Where is lover boy taking you tonight?" Ali asked, a smile plastered on her face.
"Hmm...well he is taking me out to dinner, and then to a movie, and then back here..."
"Are you gonna have sex?"
"What?! Hells no!"
"Why not?"
"Its too early! I want to take things slow!!"
"Whoa, thats a first coming out of your mouth.."
"Shut up! I love him so much, I don't want to rush anything right now, I want everything to go slow..."
"Oh, ok! Well I must get going! I'm going out to dimmer with AJ and Sarah tonight, and you know how long it takes me to gt ready, so I need to go now! Have fun, and play safe!"
"Ali, your such a perv!"
"I know! Bye hun!"
Karine just gave her a quick smile, and then went back to getting ready.
*20 minutes later*
"Kari...please! We have to go!" Nick whined, then falling down onto the bed.
"Nicky, we'll leave soon I just can't get my hair to look right!" Karine replied, then becoming satisfied with it pulled back in a half.
"Look at that sweetie! You look beautiful!" Nick commented, then she sat down next to him on the bed.
"Nicky, do you love me?"
"Well duh Karine, of course! I love you very much!"
Karine smiled widely and leaned down, gently kissing his lips.
"Now, Mr. Carter, where are we going?"
"Well, darling, we are going to go out to dinner and then on a party boat!"
Karine sighed, she wanted them to be alone. "Ok."
"What wrong? You don't want to do that?" Nick asked concerned, as he drew tiny circles on her exposed stomach.
"Nick, baby, I just wanted to be alone with you tonight..." Karine said, rubbing his cheek.
"Well, then where do you want to go?"
"Umm, why don't we just go and sit on the beach and you can hold me in your arms and tell me how much you love me..." Karine put on the smile she knew Nick couldn't refuse.
"Yes, hunnie, that will be just perfect but can we atleast get something to eat?" Nick said asked like a little boy.
"Oh Nick is that all you can think about?"
"Well yes, that and you naked!"
Karine smacked his tummy. "You are a perverted 19 year old who just wants to get laid."
"Only with you sexy! Now lets go before my stomach turns on me, and begins eating my other organs!"
Karine giggled a little, and Nick sat up, gave her a long, hard kiss, then pulled her up and off the bed.
After the couple ate dinner, Nick and Karine sat in the Durango, sharing a kiss that was started about 10 minutes ago.
Finally, when Karine thought she just ran out of all of her oxygen, she pulled away, but kept her eyes closed.
She felt Nick's soft lips brush again he eye lids, and she slowly opened them. "WAnna go to the beach now beautiful?" Nick asked, still kissing all over her face.
"Yes my prince, lets go!" Karine replied. Nick kissed her lips softly once more, and then turned on the SUV.
Pulling up to the beach, Nick turned off the engine, got out, and walked over to Karine's side, opened the door, and helped her out.
Karine put her arm around his waist, and he but his arm around her shoulder. Softly kissing her cheek, they began to walk down the water and along the shore, letting the cool water brush across their feet.
"Nick, thank you for dinner tongiht, and thank you for finally realizing that you love me..." Karine said softly, as Nick slid his hand down her arm, and took her small hand in his large one.
"No problem, anything for you Kari..." Nick said sweetly then pecking her cheek.
"Nick I love-" Karine was cut off, and suddenly let out a small cry.
She fell down into the sand, as a dew tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Baby, whats wrong? What happened?" Nick asked, knealing down, and wiping her tears away.
"Something bit my foot..." Karine cried.
Nick looked down at her red foot, and gently picked her up into his arms adn began to walk back to the car.
"Nick, where are we going?"
"I would take you back to my house, cause I have stuff to put ont his to make the stinging go away, but now I'm taking you to the hospital."
"No Nick, I don't want to. I bet Kevin has stuff. He is always prepared. Let's please just go back to the hotel..." Karine said with pleeding eyes.
Nick looked her over. "Ok," he finally stated.
The two headed back to the hotel, and luckily Kev did have the stuff to make the pain go away. Finally, about an hour later, Nick and Karine got into bed, and fell into a blissful sleep.
