Kaitlyn stirred in her sleep and then quickly shot up wondering where the hell she was. Finally, it all sunk in that she was still at Nick’s, not even five minutes on the couch and she was fast asleep. She looked around to see the half eaten pizza and then she heard Nick talking on the phone in the other room. She slowly got up and stopped in the doorway that lead to the next room her mouth hit the floor, there was Nick on the phone pacing back and forth with no shirt on slightly rubbing his stomach. Kaitlyn swallowed hard and tried to move but her feet weren’t getting the message. She moved a little and hid behind the wall still gawking at him. He was going to see her but she couldn’t stop staring she’d never seen him like this and well those tattoos were just… wrong.
Finally, Kaitlyn found the strength to tear her eyes away from him. She slowly walked back into the living and sat back down on the couch her body feeling a little hotter than usual.
Chapter 22
Nick sat in the chair to the left of the couch, eating the pizza he had ordered and watching ESPN quietly. Every once in a while he glanced over at Kaitlyn, who had made herself a little more comfortable on the couch by lying all the way down. He smiled as he watched her for a minute and then turned his head back to the TV that was playing so low he had to strain to hear what they were saying, because he didn’t want to wake Kaitlyn. He leaned back in the chair taking a drink as his cell phone that was lying on the coffee table, started to ring. He picked it up and made his way into the other room.
Is it hot in here? Or is it just Nick?
Yeah, it’s just Nick I know. Oh my god. Why does he hide all that under clothes? Did I say that? Oh man, seriously those tattoos, the one down his spine is so incredibly hot. Oh man, need to calm myself down.
Ok, he really shouldn’t walk around like that. He is so tanned and uh… His sweat pants were so low that you could see a faint outline of his V you know to where his ya know is… yeah. I could almost see like you know… hair. Yeah, he was not I repeat was not wearing any type of under garment. Yep, he was commando. Because if he had boxers on then I wouldn’t be able to see that… oh god. Is he like that all the time?
Oh for the love of everything that is good and pure. I can’t believe the thoughts I’m having seriously.
Nick walked back into the living shaking his head and then looked up to see Kaitlyn staring intently at the half eaten pizza. He scrunched up his face in confusion as he looked at her. “What are you doing?”
Kaitlyn jumped and looked at him and quickly looked away her face turning a few shades of pink.
Nick pressed his lips together laughing lightly to himself as he saw her face turn pink, “Nice nap?”
“Sorry about that, I guess I was a little more tired than I thought.”
“It’s cool.”
Kaitlyn nodded as she looked around the room and then back at the pizza.
“It’s not going to move if you just stare at it.”
“I know,” Kaitlyn replied softly.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, just uh…,” She looked back up at him and couldn’t help but stare at his chest she shook her head, “I thought we were going to watch a movie.”
Nick looked at her strangely she was acting awfully weird all of a sudden. “Sure, have anything in mind?”
“Nope you can pick, I can sit through bloody shoot up movie it you want.”
Nick looked at her completely ecstatic, never ever had he ever been with a girl that would watch a guy movie he always had to sit through a chick flick. He grinned at her and then walked over to the TV and started going through his movies.
Kaitlyn couldn’t help but stare as he squatted down in front of the TV it was like a car accident she knew she shouldn’t be staring at him like that but she just couldn’t tear her eyes away.
Nick put the movie in and then stood up he turned around to see Kaitlyn face’s turn pink again. He smiled at her and she looked down shaking her head. Nick looked at the chair he was sitting in previously and then looked at the spot next to Kaitlyn and decided to take a risk. He sat down next to her smiling as he pushed play on the remote. “You want some pizza?” He asked pointing to the pizza box on the coffee table.
Kaitlyn smiled and said, “Nah, I’m good.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah I’m good,” Kaitlyn said as she swallowed hard once again.
It was official Nick was confused. What was going in that head of hers? Obviously something and it was all after she has woken up maybe she had a dirty dream about him, Nick snickered to himself at the thought and then looked back at Kaitlyn who was watching the movie intently. Nick looked at the TV and then back at Kaitlyn and then leaned back on the couch crossing his feet on the edge of the coffee table as he crossed his arms across his chest.
Kaitlyn looked out of the corner of her eye at Nick and then quickly looked back at the TV shaking her head again.
God please save me. Strike me with lightening hell I don’t care. Make me throw up or something.
I seriously don’t think I can stand to sit in the same area as him while he is half naked, hell he is more than half naked, because I’m more than sure he isn’t wearing any underwear and oh my god just those thoughts alone make me want to jump him.
Yes, I said it. I admitted it. I want to jump on him. You have no idea; I never thought my self control was this good for real. Because ugh…
Ok, so hands down the boy is gorgeous right? But without a shirt? No comment. You know how I feel. I sound like a damn teenie or something now don’t I? I’m obsessing, but before anyone says anything how about you try to stand your ground for the ‘just friends’ theory while Nick Carter is sitting next to half naked.
Enough said.
Nick stopped the ending credits of the movie and looked over at Kaitlyn, who had fallen asleep again. He smiled as he got up and just looked at her debating to wake her up or not. In past experiences when he woke up his ex-girlfriends it wasn’t a pretty sight and he did see Kaitlyn when she woke up the other day and she didn’t look happy so maybe she won’t be too happy if he woke her up. He didn’t want to piss her off. So he opted against waking her up he grabbed the blanket he covered her up with earlier and covered her up and then lifted her legs up onto the couch so she wasn’t in the upright position anymore. He stood up and started to walk away but then walked back giving her gentle kiss on her forehead he let his lips linger a moment and then stood up and retreated to his room.
Kaitlyn opened her eyes and looked around the dark room, she smiled as she snuggled against the cover some more the feeling of Nick’s lips still fresh on her forehead and in her mind. She closed her eyes with a smile on her face and eventually fell back asleep.
Kaitlyn quickly opened her eyes taking in her surroundings and realizing she was still at Nick’s. She sat up and ran her hand through her hair and then took the ponytail holder off of her wrist and put her hair up in a ponytail. She stood up yanking her shirt down a little and then looking around the room for any sign of Nick.
She made her way into the kitchen to get a glass of water; finally after looking into every cabinet she found the glasses. She walked over to the patio door and stared outside at his backyard in a daze.
“Hey you’re up.”
Kaitlyn turned around and nearly dropped her glass. He was in the same outfit he was in last night but his hair was all messy and it looked as if his pants were maybe just a little lower.
“You ok?” He asked as he pulled his sweat pants up a little and looked at her oddly.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
“I’m sorry I didn’t wake you last night I wasn’t sure if you’d bite my head off or not and well I want to stay on your good side so I just left you be.”
“Thanks, you did the right thing. I would have bitten your head off. I hate being woken up by anyone no matter how pretty they are,” She replied a cheesy smile forming on her face.
Nick ran a hand through his hair and smiled lazily at her, “You want something to eat?”
“Nah, I’m not a breakfast person.”
“Ok, you want me to take you home I presume?”
“Presume? Big word pretty boy,” Kaitlyn replied laughing, she figured if she could keep her sense of humor then all would go well.
“Ha ha, let me go put a shirt on,” Nick said as he walked out of the kitchen.
Kaitlyn sighed heavily as she put her glass on the counter and then went back into the living room to get her cell phone off of the coffee table and put her shoes back on.
“Ready?” Nick asked as he walked into the living room, fully clothed.
Kaitlyn nodded as they headed for the door.
“You said you weren’t pissed at me,” Nick said on their way to Kaitlyn’s apartment.
Kaitlyn looked at Nick, “I’m not.”
“Then why are you acting pissed?”
“Uh… I didn’t know I was. I’m sorry.”
“Because if you are pissed about the kiss that’s cool. I understand.”
“Nick,” Kaitlyn rested her hand on his thigh and Nick could feel his heart start to beat a little faster, “believe me if I was pissed you would definitely know.”
“Then what’s up with you?”
“Nothing,”
“Liar,”
Kaitlyn sighed and shook her head.
“You’re not going to tell me?”
“There is nothing to tell.”
“Alright, but if there was you’d tell me right?”
“Yeah,”
“Ok, that’s all I need to know.”
Kaitlyn realized her hand was still on his thigh she quickly removed it and placed it gently on top of her other hand as she stared out the window.
Alright, so I was acting weird but can you blame me seriously? He was walking around half naked; I wanted to do dirty things to him. Not my normal mind set mind you so of course I was acting weird. What do you except?
And now tomorrow I have to pretend he is my boyfriend, knowing my mother if I’m not hanging all over him or kissing on him she will think something is up, so now with these thoughts swimming around my head I have to and be all lovely dovey with him. It’s not going to be a picnic I know that. Because he is going to just have fun with this I know. So, great I’m going to be, excuse my bluntness, horny as hell the whole time my mother is here. Just great. Wonderful.
Nick pulled into the parking lot in front of Kaitlyn’s apartment and turned off his truck. They sat there a minute before Kaitlyn turned to look at him, “Thanks, I had fun.” She said smiling.
“Me too.”
“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow?”
“Oh yeah, I get to play boyfriend,” Nick replied grinning widely.
Kaitlyn rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah, yuck it up.”
“Oh believe me I will,” Nick said wiggling his eyebrows.
Kaitlyn shook her head and said, “Don’t be late please.”
“I won’t.”
“Thanks again for doing this and not asking questions.”
“Yeah I figured you’ll tell me when the time is right.”
“Sure, that’s it.”
“What you aren’t?”
Kaitlyn just grinned and shrugged as she opened the passenger door. “See you later Prince Charming.”
“Yeah bye.”
Kaitlyn laughed at look on his face and then blew him a kiss before she closed the door.
Nick shook his head and said to himself, “I’ll show you Prince Charming. You won’t be able to resist me anymore after tomorrow.”
