*~*~Chapter 31*~*~
'What's gotten into Brian? ' Heather thought to herself when the car was stopped at an intersection. The car was blasting with loud music and the guys were singing loud and off-key. But not Brian. He kept kissing her like there was no tomorrow. Her hand played with his belt buckle. Brian's breath became rapid, and he felt sweat appear on his neck. His hands slipped under her shirt, feeling the softness of her stomach and back underneath his fingertips.
"Hey! Get a room," AJ said, nudging Brian. Heather laughed, but Brian obviously looked annoyed.
"Brian, huney?" Heather asked.
"Yea?"
"Don't be mad. We have a five day vacation in front of us," she said and kissed his nose. She climbed off his lap and opened the door for they were at her house.
"I'll call you later!" Heather called over her shoulder.
~~~~~
Brian watched Heather walk into the house. He closed his eyes and imagined her throwing her keys on the table, slipping out of her clothes and into something-
"Brian!" Brian jumped out of his reverie at the call of Nick.
"What, Nick?" he asked.
"You wanna play some basketball tomorrow?" Nick asked.
"Yea, ok." Brian agreed. Brian thought hard about the trip that was the day after tomorrow. He thought that it was time to take their relationship to another level, but if Heather didn't want to, he would wait a lifetime for her. Many nights when he was on tour, he would lay in the hotel room bed and just wish that he could be back in Orlando, with Heather. Brian sighed. He couldn't hide his excitement any longer.
~~~~~~~~~~
The next day around noon, Monica drove over to pick Heather up at her apartment. Monica had agreed on tagging along with Heather to the mall. Monica knocked on the door, fanning her face from the heat. Heather swung the door open and blew Monica away with air-conditioning.
"It is soo hot out there!!" Monica complained, falling onto the couch.
"I bet" Heather agreed with a laugh. They chatted for a half hour, then grabbed the keys and headed for the Orlando mall.
~~~~~~~~~~
"This is nice...." Heather murmured, fingering a light blue bathing suit.
"Heather, listen. Tomorrow you are off to one of the most beautiful places in the world with your one-of-a-kind boyfriend, and you want to wear that?" Monica asked in disgust while looking at the one-piece bathing suit. Heather laughed.
"How about this?" Monica asked, holding up a skimpy bikini that was made of practically nothing.
"Monica! I'm trying to impress him, not give him a stroke!" Heather joked. Monica shrugged and looked for me. Heather turned around and eyed the most beautiful suit that she had ever seen. She picked it up off the rack and walked to the dressing room to try it on.
"Perfect!" Heather said, modeling in front of the mirror. She showed Monica and they both agreed that it was the right one She quickly bought two more and waltzed out of the store.
~~~~~
After buying some sandals, the 2 girls bought some food at the food court.
"So what are you planning on doing in Hawaii?" Monica asked Heather while they were eating.
"I don't know," replied Heather, taking a sip of her drink.
"C'mon! You obviously know what's gonna happen!" Monica said. Heather blushed.
"I know, Monica. I've kind of been avoiding that subject with Brian," Heather admitted. "I mean, we've been dating for over 2 months now. Do you think we're ready?" Heather asked.
"Look," Monica told her, "it depends on the couple. You and Brian were obviously made for each other, so go ahead and have sex. You'll look back on it and thank yourself later," Monica said. Heather listened intently. Monica was right. Heather had never been so in love before; the time has come. Right?

~*~*Chapter 32*~*~
Brian heard a knock on the door, hoping it was Heather. He wanted to talk to her about their relationship; about them moving on to the next level. But it wasn't her. It was Nick.
"Hey, man!" Nick said, giving Brian a handshake. Brian followed Nick into the kitchen and grabbed some ice cold bottled water.
"You ready to go?" Brian asked him, grabbing his basketball.
"Of course!" Nick said, jumping into the car. Brian laughed. Nick was such a sore loser. That made Brian even more determined to kick his ass.
"So what do you have planned for in Hawaii?" Nick asked with a sly grin. Nick eased the car onto the road. Brian sighed.
"I really don't know. We may just hang out in the area, or we may go to some tourists places. I don't know," Brian rattled.
"Cool. What about at night?" Nick questioned.
"What are you getting at?" Brian asked Nick, causing Nick to laugh.
"C'mon, Bri! We all know you want her bad!" Nick teased.
"There is more to a relationship besides sex, Nick. You are turning more into AJ everyday," Brian said in defense of his pride.
"I'm kidding, B-Rok. If you really love her, then tell her how you feel. But be careful. I did that once and I got slapped in the face," Nick remembered. Brian laughed. By that time, they were already at the court.
"You ready to lose?" Brian asked Nick.
"Yea, right!" Nick retorted. Brian shot the ball through the air; the basketball landing in the net with a swish.
"This is going to be a looong game," Nick realized.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Monica and Heather bobbed their heads to the beat of the radio as they drove home. They pulled into Heather's parking lot, grabbed their bags and headed into Heather's messy apartment.
"Hey, you know what?" Monica said suddenly.
"What?"
"I have a nice, sexy lingerie at my house. I'll be right back!" Monica said from the hallway.
"I told you. I don't want to have it...so...planned out," Heather finally said.
"OK. I'll bring some over and if you don't like them, who cares?" Monica said with a laugh. Heather nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I told you that you were gonna lose!" Brian bragged to Nick on their way home from their basketball game.
"I just wasn't playing good today, thats all," Nick lied.
"Yea, sure Nick," Brian said sarcastically. Nick ignored him.
"So what do you want to do now?" Nick asked. He looked at Brian. Brian looked at his watch.
"Could you drop me off at Heather's house? You could stay if you like," Brian offered.
"OK," Nick agreed.
