"That's us, let's go." Brooke said as she picked up her carry-on luggage. She turned around to she Nick, a bit paler than
this morning.
"C'mon Nick, it's going to fine." Cari said.
"I hate planes," Nick muttered as he stood up and carried his luggage. Their bodyguards were behind them in inconspicuous
clothes.
"If I hold your hand the whole fight, will that make it better?" Cari said exasperately.
"Whole flight?" Nick asked hopefully.
"Whole fight," Cari said firmly. "Now c'mon, let's go."
"Hooboy!" Brooke said.
The threesome boarded the plane. Cari was seated next to the window with Nick beside her. Brooke was seated at the next aisle.
After all the passengers were seated, the airplane began to take off. Nick was holding Cari's hand tightly. Cari squeezed it
back.
"You can relax now," Cari said when they were already in the air.
Nick exhaled, "I'm still going to hold your hand the whole flight," he grinned impishly.
"Yes, yes, now stop fidgeting!" Cari said, sighing. Usually, she enjoyed flying but not today. She was beside a child-man who
was constantly fidgeting and making her sick in the stomach. And to top it all, Brooke was making funny faces at her.
After an hour, she needed to go in the lavatory. When she stood up, Nick woke up from his nap and also stood up.
"I need to go to the lavatory, if you don't mind." she said sarcastically.
"But you promised," he whined indicating their intwined hands.
"But I need to go!"
"I can go with you," Nick said slyly.
"Cad!" Cari said smiling. Nick let her hand go. When Cari was out of hearing range, Brooke turned to Nick.
"You like her don't you?"
"Yeah," Nick said smiling.
"Be careful with her okay, or else I'll come after you," joked Brooke.
"I will."
"More like be careful with your heart, your not dealing with the usual girl," Brooke thought.
Cari returned after a few minutes, Nick clasped her hand as soon as she was within Nick's reach. Cari looked at Nick with a
weird expression on her face.
"I missed you," Nick said with a smile. Brooke heard this and giggled. Cari gave her a whithering look.
They both fell asleep after a few minutes leaning to each other still clasping each others hands.
"Aawwww, ain't that cute?" Brooke said to herself. She got her camera from her bag an took a picture of them. Cari stirred.
"I still think Cari's playing with him. Poor Nick, I hope he's used to it." she paused, "Used to it? Even jaded men get
hurt with what Cari does to them. But still, Cari would have told me now if she would drop him or not and this is the first
time that she asked a guy to go with her on a trip and the first time I saw her KISS a guy, much less in his bedroom! Maybe
I'm putting Cari down, maybe she's changed for the better... I hope," Brooke thought hopefully.
"Ahhh, yes, Ms. Sanders, you reserved the the penthouse suite and three rooms," he gave her the keys to the penthouse and the
three deluxe rooms for their boyguards. "If there is anything you need, please just call me and our competent staff will
attend to all your needs,"
"Well I just need to remind you to keep our stay here discreet, I don't want any prank calls especially on my suite. Is that
clear," she looked at the manager's nametag, "Mr. Kudrow?"
"Very clear, enjoy you stay here at the Ritz," he said as he left.
The threesome, their bodyguards and the two bellboys went up to the penthouse. Cari, Nick and Brooke went inside their rooms.
Cari handed the three keys to th bodyguards who were staying at the floor beneath them.
"Jake, I need at least one of you to be at the door of the penthouse at all times, is that clear?" Cari said.
"Yes, Ms. Sanders." then they all went down to their rooms leaving a bodyguard at the door of the suite.
Turning to Brooke and Nick who took of his baseball cap and sunglasses, "Oh God, it's sooo good to be out of work again,"
"Your going to start working again tomorrow morning," Brooke said pointedly.
"Don't remind me, don't remind me," Cari groaned. Nick laughed and gave her a kiss on her temple.
"Well, I'm going to Greenwich Village to check out some clothes, be back befor dinner okay?" Brooke said as she picked up her
purse.
"Just meet us at the lobby, we'll be eating out," Cari said, now with Nick kissing her neck.
Brooke stiffled a giggle, Cari waved her off, "Yeah sure, bye." Brooke went out of the door.
"Alone at last," Nick said as he breathed at Cari's neck.
"Uh-hum," Cari replied, turning around to face Nick. She placed her arms around her neck and tilted her head. Nick gave her
a passionate kiss.
"Yes ma'am. I'll make sure no one comes in." Martin smiled as he took the bill, "Thanks,"
Brooke went down the floor and went to Greenwich Village, smiling.
"What?" Nick said huskily.
"I have a call," Cari said as she got her cellphone from her pocket, "Hello?"
"Hey Cari, sup?" Brooke said cheerfully.
"Not now!" she whisphered back.
"Interrupting something?" she asked innocently.
"Yes, call back later," she hissed.
"Okay, okay, say hi to Nick for me, bye!"
"Bye," Cari sighed.
"Brooke said hi, now where were we?" she said as she placed her arms around Nick.
Ah yes, he was showing her some magic...
They both changed clothes because it was quite rumpled because of their heavy activities that afternoon. Cari was now wearing
a light green shirt, a short denim skirt and ankle high boots. Nick was wearing a black shirt, slacks, and his usual
disguise, his baseball cap.
"Hi Brooke," Cari said weakly.
"Ohhh, is that a hicky I see?" pointing at the visible red spot on her neck.
Cari flamed red and covered it with her long hair. Brooke winked at Nick and he winked back.
"I'll go get the car okay? Meet you guys at the front in five minutes," Nick said as he walked off.
"So what's up, girl? Anything for me to know, besides that hicky I just saw?" Brooke asked Cari slyly.
"Should know or would want to know?"
"Same thing, so was he a good kisser? Did you do it?" she said excitedly.
"Yes, he is a very good kisser and NO we did not do it!"
"Oh don't tell me, you're not planning to do it," Brooke said as she rolled her eyes.
"Well if you didn't call me, we could have done it." she said sarcastically.
Brooke's mouth dropped fully knowing well that Cari had never considered sleeping with any of her boyfriends, and was
still a virgin. They heard the honking of their rented car and went inside.
"So what did you girls think about talk about?" Nick asked when they were inside the car.
They looked at each other and laughed.
"Girls," Nick muttered as he shook his head.
Nick groaned and sat up with the sheets rumpled around him. "Morning," he said as he rubbed his eyes.
Cari was wearing her bathrobe, she sat next to Nick and the knot began to untie. Inside the robe was a silk nightgown. Nick's
eyes grew wide then looked away with an undescribable look on his eyes.
"What?" Cari asked.
"Nothing, come on, I'm starving." he kissed Cari before standing up and went to the bathroom.
"Weird,"
The phone in the living room began ringing. Since Brooke was cooking breakfast, she answered it.
"Hello,"
"Cari? It's BJ,"
"Hi BJ, what's up?" Cari sat on the sofa.
"Just wanted to check up on you if your still alive. And to give Nick a message from mom,"
Cari laughed, "I'm still breathing, Nick just got up from bed and is in the bathroom now."
"Oh, I'll just wait for him,"
"Okay," then remembering Nick's weird reaction, "Does Nick have a peculiar habit in the morning?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well he had this really weird look on his eyes when I came in his room to wake him up. First he looked at me then looked
away as if I had something on me."
BJ laughed knowing fully his brother's behavior, "What were you wearing?"
"Wearing? Well, I had my white robe on and a silk nightgown inside. Why?" Cari said puzzled.
"He has this fantasy about girls wearing silk. It's his secret fantasy." BJ said giggling.
"Oooohhhhh," she said also giggling, "Think I should change?"
"Yeah, unless you want him all over you for the rest of the day! And I guarantee you that he would be giving you odd looks if
he sees you in silk all day."
"Thanks for the advice, oh here's Nick, nice talking to you BJ," she gave the phone to Nick who was already looking at her
weirdly. "It's BJ," then she burst out laughing.
"Hey BJ, what's wrong with Cari?"
On the other line, BJ also burst out laughing. "Did I miss something?" visibly confused.
"I told her of your weird behavior towards girls wearing silk," then BJ resumed laughing.
"Oh BJ, you are soooooo dead! Wait till I get home!" Nick said blushing.
"Breakfast! Come and get it!" Brooke said carrying a pan full of bacon.
"BJ, I need to go. Is there anything esle you need to tell me before I kill you?" Nick said gritting his teeth, still staring
at Cari's retreating form.
"Mom told me that you forgot your toothbrush and shampoo, just buy some of it there."
"Okay, but I won't forget what you did."
"Yeah, sure. Bye!"
Nick replaced the reciever and went to the dining room hoping that Cari had already changed her clothes. Cari told Brooke
about Nick's fantasy while he was talking to his sister. He was met by Brooke and Cari who were both wearing
identical silk nightgowns. Nick averted his head and the two burst out laughing.
"BJ, you are so dead!" he said gritting his teeth.
The two girls, still giggling went to their rooms to change. Nick said a little prayer of thanks wiping the sweat on his
brow.
"Flight number 707 bound for Manhattan, New York now boarding at gate 4. Flight number 707 bound for Manhattan, New York now
boarding at gate 4."
"I'm Carissa Sanders and I believe I have one penthouse suite and three
deluxe rooms reserved under my name for 4 days." Cari said at the hotel manager of the Ritz, who went out to greet a very
famous woman. They were surrounded by bodyguards, well, Nick was surrounded with bodyguards and was wearing a
baseball cap and sunglasses.
Outside the suite...
"Make sure no one comes in, okay?" Brooke said to Martin, one of the bodyguards who was posted outside the room. She handed
him a hundred dollar bill.Inside the suite...
Cari and Nick were now making out on the carpeted floor. Nick had his hands shoved in Cari's thick hair and Cari's hand was
clutching Nick's shirt. He was in the process of sucking Cari's little vein. Cari moaned aloud, shoving her hands in Nick's
hair. He was now unbuttoning Cari's shirt when Cari gave a yelp."Hi guys!" Brooke greeted Cari and Nick as they went downstairs for dinner.
Next day...
"Morning sunshine," Cari greeted the still sleeping Nick. He was only wearing his white boxers. Cari opened the drapes on Nick's
room.
