Nick's House...
Circling his arms around her, he kissed her cheek, "Hey baby,"
"Missed me?" she asked coyly.
"A lot. What are you doing here? Been looking for you everywhere."
"Nothing, just thinking." she answered.
"About what?"
"Us, how perfect my life is since I met you,"
They paused just looking at the serene backyard. They could have been voted for best couple in the world if that scene had
been captured in film.
"How 'bout a sneek peek of my present?" Nick asked.
Cari smiled. It was Nick's birthday the next day, and knowing her boyfriend, he would be searching the whole room to find it.
"Why? What's the occassion?"
Nick pouted, "My birthday!"
"I didn't know that it was your birthday tomorrow!"
"Hahaha, c'mon what is it?"
Cari leaned her head then kissed Nick softly. Sweetly. Gently. When they pulled apart, she smiled.
"That's your present," she joked.
"Add a hundred more, and I'll be satisfied until I turn 25,"
She kissed him again, toying with his tongue. Nick groaning at the assult Cari was doing to him. He could feel his arousal
growing. Now it was Cari's time to gasp, her body was pressed aginst Nick's and she could feel it. Nick's hands were traveling
inside Cari's thin silk blouse, turning her around, never breaking the kiss. Nick carried her and laid her down the
huge bed.
This would be the first time for them to make love and Nick wanted it to be perfect for both of them.
Clasping Cari's bra, he explored her feminine contours. Moaning under him, she insistenty tugged Nick's waistband. The kiss
was getting hotter and fiercer by the minute. Nick took off her skirt, followed by her lacy panties.
"No fair," she said huskily pointing at Nick's clothing. She unbuttoned Nick's khaki shorts while Nick took off his shirt.
"Now that's better,"
Resuming their love play, Cari leaned on her elbow and pressed butterfly kisses on his neck trailing down to his stomach,
playing with belly button. Nick gave an involuntary laugh. Sensing Nick's pleasure, Cari trailed lower until it reached Nick's
boxers, taking it off, she then licked the tip of Nick's manhood. Sucking it with enough ardor to make Nick have his release
at that moment. Taking it no longer, Nick hauled her back to his lips, "Naughty girl,"
With a silent groan, he bent his head, his mouth opening on hers with a sudden, urgent hunger. She answered his passion with
her own, her lips parting without urging, welcoming Nick's tongue's invasion. Nick stroked his hand down her arm to her breasts,
circling her nipples with his thumb, feeling them rising proudly against his palm. Replacing her hand, he tailed kisses from
her ear to her neck down to her chest to her breasts, he was sucking Cari's breast making her body arch and moan with pleasure.
His hand glided downwards to her hips and thighs, then shifted, covering the dark triangle between her legs. Cari stiffened
at his intimate touch, Nick looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I haven't done this before, Nick," she confessed.
Nick looked at her with an incredelous expression, then placed his head on top of Cari's stomach.
"I didn't want you to stop Nick,"
"That's not it baby," he answered hoarsely.
"Are you angry at me?" she asked timidly.
"Not you baby, at myself."
"Why?"
"Cuz, it won't stop me from doing what I want to do to you," he sighed.
Cari sighed in relief, "It's a gift Nick. A gift mean for you. For us to share," she said softly.
How did he ever deserve such a girl like her? He groaned then kissed her.
He resumed what he was doing, exploring Cari's womanly depths. Hearing Cari's gasps of pleasure only made him want to make
this experience for her a pleasurable one. Kissing her, he looked intently into eyes as he poised his throbbing shaft to
her wet folds. Entering her with the greatest possible gentelness he could manage, he closed his eyes, restraining himself
as to not to hurt Cari, giving her time to adjust to his size. Thinking that he could not contain it anymore, he opened his
eyes and saw Cari's smiling face full of love. He plunged into her, Cari gave a tiny squeal, indicating the torn veil.
"I'm sorry baby, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Nick chanted.
Cari kissed him, "It wasn't that bad." she said even thought there were streaks of tears in her face.
With painstaking slowness, Nick began to move within her, plunging gently, then reatreating to plunge again, watching Cari's
face as she bagan to pick up Nick's rhythm. Cari strained toward him in trembling need, pressing her body willingly to the
demanding, rhythmic thrusts of Nick's hard body. Within her, the uncontrollable excitment was building, threatening to explode.
"Let it come baby. I swear I'll give it to you," he said still continuing to thrust deeply into Cari's body.
Ecstasy exploded in her body, spasms wracked her body, making her cry out Nick's name. Nick's climax came seconds after Cari's
came, pouring his heat into her body.
"I love You Cari," he said while he was still wracking with spasms.
Cari surfaced from the sweet, hot oblivion Nick sent her a minute ago, her breath still labored. As she lay beside Nick, in
his embrace, her head nestled beneath his chin, she did not know it was possible to feel so loved.
"We should have done that months ago," she teased Nick.
Feeling the perfect fit of her head agains his chin, he smiled. "This is the best birthday gift I have ever recieved," he
remarked softly as he kissed Cari's forehead.
"Happy Birthday Nick," she said softly. Nick fell asleep after that. Cari remained awake, pondering about what had just
happened.
"Did I just imagine it or did he just say I love you?" Cari thought in fear. She did not want to lose Nick, he was the
best thing that happened to her. "Mama, where are you? Why didn't you come to me to warn me?" she thought. Feeling
really confused and scared, she slid away from Nick's sleeping form and stood up. She put her robe and went out to the
balcony.
"I have to go! But mama did not come! This has to be different," she ran her hand through her hair. "Do I love him, or do
I not? I made a promise to my mom, and I intend to fulfill it," she said to herself with a detemined face. She dressed
quickly, not wanting to wake up Nick. She did not dare give him a parting kiss lest he would wake up. She scribbled a note
and left it at her pillow, where he would sure see when he wakes up. She crept quietly out the house. Saying goodbye to
Nick forever.
My Nicky,
First, I would like to greet you a Happy 21st Birthday. *sigh* I'm not inside your huge house
so don't bother to look for me. I'm sorry I had to do this. I have no solid explanation for doing
this. I didn't mean to do this at your birthday, really. Don't bother also to ask Brooke or Brian
as to where I am, they don't know and I don't intend for them to know. I know this is a crappy way
to say good-bye, but I have to do it. I need to do it. Not want Nick, NEED. I cannot say I didn't
love each and every minute of the time we spent with each other because I did. Please understand. I'm
sure it will be hard for you to understand because I'm not giving you the reason for me leaving. Tell
the guys and Brooke that I'm also sorry for hurting you. You'll always have a special place in my heart.
I'm sorry and maybe one day you'll forgive me. Make the most of your birthday and try your best to
forget me. Take Care my Nicky.
Cari
Nick dropped the note with a shocked expression on his face. He quickly dressed up, intending to look for Cari, she could
have gone anywhere that far. He jammed the note in his jeans pocket. He opened the door but was greeted by Brian.
"Happy Birthday Nick! C'mon buddy, the guys are waiting at my place." he said as he placed his arm around Nick's shoulder.
Nick shrugged it off, opening the door to his Corvette. Brian looked puzzled and worried.
"What's the rush?"
Nick broke down and placed his head on top of his steering wheel. Brian rushed towards him.
"She left me, Bri. She left me. It hurts inside. So much." Nick said in between sobs.
"Who left you? Cari?" he asked.
"Who else? She left me on my birthday! She left me after we made love Bri,"
"Damnit! So it finally happened," he said cursing.
"What happened?"
"Did you say I love you to her?" he said frantically.
"Yes, yesterday. Why? I love her. I gotta say it!"
"Didn't I specifically tell not to? She runs off when guys do that!" he yelled at Nick.
"God, I had to. I couldn't hold it in anymore!"
"Let's go to Brooke's place maybe she knows something about this." He went inside the car and Nick drove off.
"Brooke, where is Cari?" Nick demanded.
"She was with you yesterday, why would she be here today?" she said with a funny expression on her face.
"She ran off Brooke, we need to know when she is." Brian informed her.
Brooke gasped. "What happened? Did you declare your undying love for her?" she demanded Nick.
Nick nodded mutely, "I had to,"
Brooke slapped him on the head. "I'm betting on my bank account that you would never ever see her again in the near future.
Like until your 25 or something!" she said.
The treesome sat on the couches.
"Where is she Brooke? I need to find her!" Nick said desperately, tears again forming in her eyes.
She patted his back and told him the the whole "Hello-I Love You-Goodbye" scam Cari always pulls.
"I told Brian to warn you but I guess you didn't pay heed." she said sadly.
"Do have any idea where she could have gone?" Brian said, frustraded at the events that were happening. On Nick's birthday
no less!
Brooke shook her head, "She usually does it with me. I always help her when she does it. I don't know. She could be anywhere
by now. She has a private jet with houses scattered all over the world. Unless she would want you to know where she is, you
would never see her again. I'm sorry Nick."
"I shouldn't have said it!" Nick groaned, blaming himself.
"Nick it's not your fault. Cari just values promises so much that she has taken it to new levels of discription. She would
never break it, even though she already loves someone." Brooke said.
"How could she do this to me, on my birthday! Damnit, I got to find her!" Nick ranted, then stood up.
"Nick calm down, unless she wants you to find out where she is, you wouldn't have a trace of her. It's no use."
"She gets a kick out of this doesn't she?" Brian asked Brooke. Anger in his eyes.
"I tried to dissuade her from doing it again, but I have no control over her emotions Brian," she said trying to defend her
best friend.
"Nick we better go, you can't mope the whole day. It's your birthday, your family's fying over here today." Brian said pulling
his best friend up.
The three stood up, "I'll call you guys when I hear something from Cari." Brooke said with sympathy in her eyes. She had
seen a total of thriteen guys act like this, all victims of Cari's unitentional cruelty.
"Cari, where are you?" All three of them thought.
Nick sighed with contentment. What more could he want? He had a great family, fabulous career, and a
loving girlfriend in the form of Cari Sanders. He was lounging at the his living room munching on chips. He frowned, speaking
of his loving girlfriend, where was she? Cari took her afternoon and the remaining evening off from LIMPA since there was little
work to be done. Nick stood up to look for her. She was not in the kitchen, nor the guestrooms, nor the den. He went out to
the garden, scanning the whole place. It was now time for dinner. Where could she be? Finally, he looked up and saw Cari,
staring into space in the balcony of his bedroom. It had been her favorite place in the house ever since she went there for
the first time. Nick bounded up the stairs to surprise her.
Next Morning...
Nick woke up feeling different, sliding his arm on the bed he did not find Cari sleeping. His eyes
popped open, scanning the room, she was nowhere to be found. Pulling up his boxers, he went down to look for Cari in the
living room and the kitchen. She was not in the living room or the kitchen, he ran back to his bedroom. He saw a white folede
paper on top of Cari's pillow. Dread filling his body, he opened it and read:
At Brooke's...
"Brian, Nick, hi! Oh, I forgot, Happy Birthday Nick!" Brooked greeted them cheerfully.
