Chapter 2

I know I shouldn't feel nervous about seeing my boyfriend. So why am I? Am I still in love with him? Yes, of course you are. Is he still in love with me? I hope so. Maybe I made him mad when I said I had been on a date with another guy. But I had been so sure that he probably seen other girls while he was away from me. I mean the guy is hot. There are millions of girls around the world that would die to have just one date w/ him. Undoubtedly, I was wrong. I hadn't meant to hurt him and I didn't want either of us to stop loving the other. I loved Nick and I hoped he loved me. But that date had been very simple. I had reluctantly said yes to one of my good friends, Drew. It was just dinner at a bar type place. But Nick took it the wrong way. Nick was my one and only boyfriend and I loved him madly. But did he feel the same way about me?

A scratchy voice came over the intercom and announced that we'd be landing at the Tampa International Airport in about three minutes. I gathered my stuff just as we hit the ground. Finally the plane stopped and everyone got off. I was shaking terribly but I honestly could not wait to see Nick. My Nick. My Nicky. I wanted him so badly to hold me. I wanted to run up to him and have him pick me up and never leave my side.

----------------------------------------

"Where is she?" I thought impatiently. I had been sitting at the airport waiting for her plane to land for about half an hour. Finally someone yelled at me from behind.

"Nicky," she yelled.

I turned around to see her standing no more than five feet away from me. God, she looked good. Her hair had gotten very long and she had grown about 2 inches taller. But the change that shocked me the most...she had really matured physically. She had more curves than anyone I had ever known. I had to feel her for myself. I walked up to her and hugged her. I could feel her curves too. She felt so good.

"Come on. Let's get outta here," I said and picked up her suitcase. With my other hand I had wanted to hold her hand or touch her in some way but I thought about her so-called boyfriend and decided against it.

I could tell she seemed kind of disappointed that I hadn't done any of the normal 'boyfriend' things. I hadn't kissed her, put my arm around her, said I loved her, or held her hand. What was her problem though? We walked out to my car and started out of the parking lot. We got to the road and I couldn't stand it anymore. I had to kiss her. I leaned over and gave her my best kiss. I moved my hand to the back of her head and pushed it gently toward me. We kept kissing til I thought about her boyfriend. I pulled away.

"Look I'm sorry," I said and started to drive away.

"Why are you sorry? I've been wanting you to do that for months now. You're my boyfriend," she said.

"I am?" I asked puzzled.

"Okay Nick, you're freaking me out," she said. "

Well it's just that...Well, Leslie said she heard BJ talking to you on the phone a couple of weeks ago and she said that you had a new boyfriend," I said quickly, hoping I was wrong.

Her mouth fell open. She just sat there looking at me for about 20 seconds. Then, she burst out laughing. When she caught her breath, she leaned over and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. She sat back down and we drove to my house.

When we got there, Mom was gone. Angel was the only one home. Yes! I took this as a wonderful opportunity for Jen and I. I grabbed her hand and pulled her up the stairs and to my room.

"Now we can finish what we started in the car," I said eagerly. We then started a make-out session until the phone rang. Angel picked up but a second later yelled my name. Jen and I were on my bed but I sat up and reached across her for the phone.

"Hello?" I asked, quite annoyed.

"Yo Frack, it's me," said Brian.

"Oh, hey Bri," I said.

"Is Jen there yet?" he asked.

"Yeah she's here," I replied.

"Can I come see her?" he asked.

"Why do you want to see her?" I asked, wondering why my best bud wanted to see my girlfriend so badly.

"I just do. So can I?" he asked again.

"Yeah, whatever. Listen I gotta go. So, I'll see you in a little while?" I said, ready to get back to the object of my affections.

"Yeah, sure. Bye Frack," he said.

"Bye Frick," I said and practically threw the phone down.

By this time, she didn't feel like making out anymore. So, we just laid on my bed and talked. I ran my fingers through her soft brown hair and occasionally kissed the top of her head. She must have been tired, because no sooner had I stopped talking and she was fast asleep on my shoulder. I just laid there holding her for about an hour until I heard the front door slam. I must have been in a daze because it startled me. I slowly lifted Jen off my shoulder and laid her on the pillows and took Aaron's blanket off his bed and covered her up. She moved slightly but didn't seem to wake up. I kissed her forehead and whispered 'I love you'.
