Together Again

"I saw Nick looking at you…" Alicia said to Karine as she sat down on the couch next to her.

"I know, he wants me to talk to him but I was screaming at him, and told him everything was over…I miss him so much Ali…" Karine said, as tears fell down her cheeks.

Alicia took the crying girl into her arms, and gently stoked her hair. "Karine, please don't cry.."

"I can't help it, I miss him so much…" Karine cried.

*later that night; 6pm*

"Sarah, hey wait up…I was suppose to give this to you…" Alicia said, as Sarah was walking out of the door.

Sarah turned around, and Alicia handed her the folded up piece of paper. Sarah smiled, and said, "Who is it from?"

"You'll see…I gotta go Brian and I are going to go out tonight…." Alicia hugged Sarah, and walked back up the steps.

Sarah opened the letter and read is slowly.

Sarah folded up the note, and prayed that AJ too wanted to get back together.

*at the same time*

AJ walked into the room where Nick and Brian were and plopped down on the sofa. He sighed loudly, and closed his eyes. "Man guys, Sarah gets hotter and hotter everyday…"

"Really AJ? Well she just happened to give me this to give to you…" Nick said, as he threw AJ the folded up piece of paper, and watched as AJ opened it and began to read.

AJ smiled to himself. "Later guys…." AJ said, jumping off of the sofa, and heading into the bathroom to take a shower.

*half hour later*

Nick knocked on Karine's door for the last time. If she wouldn't talk to him now, then he was going to forget about everything.

She slowly made her way over to the door, and opened it. She just stared at Nick. "Karine, I really need to explain…"

Karine nodded her head, and motioned for him to come into her room. Slowly he walked in, as she shut the door behind him.

Both took a seat on the bed, and just looked at each other for a little while. "What did you want to say Nick?" she asked softly.

"Karine, I am so, so sorry for having to let you find out like this. I mean I was gonna tell you, and then when I saw you and kissed you I remembered how much I still loved you…"

Karine had a few tears in her eyes, but she brushed them away. "Then why won't you be with me?"

"Karine, I love Mandy. I just can't break up with her and get with you right away…"

"Why not? You did it to me…oh yeah thats right…then it was ok…" Karine stood up and began to walk away, but Nick grabbed her hand. She looked at him as he stood up.

"I'm really confused right now, and I really want to think this all through, but I don't want you to be mad at me…so, Karine, please just can we be friends until I decide who I want to be with…."

Karine stared into his blue eyes, eyes that were once filled with love for her. "Ok.." she said softly. Nick took her into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

She put her arms around him, finally feeling good about him holding her.

*8:30pm, that night*

Sarah anxiously waited the arrival of AJ. She looked at her watch, exactly 8:30pm. She shifted her body weight from her left side to her right side. She had worn a tight black skirt that was short and revealing and a tube top with straps.

She put her hand over her exposed stomach as she waited impatiently for AJ to arrive.

About two minutes later she saw his cowboy hat, and he was walking right toward her. She smiled at him, as he came closer, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Damn, you look sexy…" AJ said, taking her hand, and slowly turning her around so he could see her from every angle.

"That was sweet of you to write me that note AJ, I'm glad you wanted us to spend some time alone together…." Sarah said, walking with him out onto the dance floor.

AJ had a troubled look on his face. "I didn't write you a note…you wrote me one to meet you here…" AJ said reaching in his pocket, and handing her the letter that she supposedly gave to him.

At the same time, Sarah pulled the letter out from the side of her underwear, and handed it to him. Both read over the notes, and they both laughed at the same time.

"Nick wrote this…" AJ said.

"Yeah, and Alicia wrote this…I bet you all four of them were in on this…" she said, handing him back the note. He put both of them in the pocket in his jeans.

"Well while we were set up, wanna dance?" AJ asked.

She smiled in replied, as AJ brought her body to his, and began to dance to the song, "Jigga my Nigga" by Jay-Z.

As the next song, "Hot Spot" by Foxy Brown came on, AJ began to sexually rub his body against hers as they grind to the music.

As they moved together, AJ began to suck and nibble on her neck. She would moan, depending on where his mouth was, as her hands roamed over his back and his ass.

Finally, AJ brought his mouth to hers, and kissed her lips roughly. He slipped his tongue into her mouth, and tasted her for the first time in almost five years.

As they continued to make out and dry hump in the middle of the night club, AJ realized how much he wanted her again.

He pulled his lips off of hers, and looked at her. "Will you be my girlfriend?" AJ asked running his fingers through her short brown hair, and staring into her deep brown eyes.

"Of course I will AJ…" she kissed him again, finally glad that they were together again.

*two days later; that night*

"Karine, what are you doing tonight?" Nick asked, finally upset that everyone else was going out except for him.

"Nothing at all…" she said, her eyes down, and reading a magazine.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yep.." she replied.

"Um…wanna go swimming?"

"Sure.." Karine put the magazine down, said goodbye to Brian and Alicia (AJ and Sarah had gone away for the weekend, they would be back tomorrow), and went up to her room to change.

Five minutes later she emerged in her two piece Nike™ swim suit that was lime green and purple. She put a towel around her waist, and met Nick at the bottom of the steps.

"I like your suit…" Nick said.

"Thanx…" she replied. The two walked out of the house, and into Brian's backyard.

Karine threw her towel on the chair, and dove into the water. When she surfaced she screamed, "Damn is cold!" Nick laughed, and jumped into the water.

"Your right it is…" he said.

Karine went under the water, and came back up fixing her hair. "Wanna jus go in the spa?" she said.

Nick nodded his head, and they both ran over to the spa.

Once in the warm water, Karine let her body sink into the water, and she smiled at Nick.

"So how many time did you have sex since we did it?"

"Geez Karine, little strait forward huh?" Nick laughed.

"I know, jus tell me…"

"Um, three.. yeah, three…"

"All with Mandy?" Karine hated saying her name, but she wanted to know.

"No."

"No?"

"No."

"Ok, then who else?"

"Twice with Mandy, and then I got drunk at AJ's party this January, and Mandy's best friend was there, and she was drunk too, and Manda went home early, and we had sex, but neither of us told Mandy, it would hurt her to much…"

"Oh."

"Yeah, well I ain't proud of it…what about you?"

"What do you mean?" Karine asked playing stupid.

"How many times did you have sex since we did it last?"

"None.."

"Excuse me?"

"I didn't make love to anyone, no one was as special as you…"

Nick smiled, and turned a nice shade of red. Karine shivered.

"Still cold?" Nick asked.

"Yeah…"

"Come here." Karine went over to Nick, and he motioned for her to sit in his lap, and she did so. He put his arms around her waist, and held her against his body. He rested his chin on her exposed shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Better?"

Karine nodded her head, and Nick kissed her cheek.

She closed her eyes, and ran her hands down Nick's arms, and she felt his lips on her neck. She sighed, closing her eyes, and enjoying the feeling of him kissing her neck.

Nick hands roamed all over the front of her body while he sucked on her neck. He ran his hands over her chest, down her stomach, in her crotch and down her thighs.

Karine turned, and their lips met in a passionate kiss. Nick's tongue swirled insanely with hers while she felt his chest up and down.

Then realizing what was happening, she pulled away. "Nick, no we can't do this…your with Mandy, not me…" And with that, she got out of the spa, and ran into the house.
