Got 'Til It's Gone

"I'm sorry Nicole but I better tell you this now before you have done ticked me off more..." Began the voice of Jennifer, cousin of Nicole.

"What?!" Nicole exclaimed.

"I'm sick of you telling be about how much ya love Jonathan (Q-Tip). Why don't you tell him how much you love him, then maybe somethin' will happen between ya'll. Ya know girl ya got 'til it's gone, and if things go on like this you'll get the courage when he's no longer "available" in other words gone. Ya better make the move while ya have the chance cuz that's all the time ya got, cuz." Jennifer explained.

"But Jenn, ya know I can't take things like this. I'm way too shy." Nikki replied.

"Too bad! Just go up to him, pull him in a corner, wrap your arms around him, and stick your tongue in his mouth and work it." Jenn replied.

"Where do you get this from?" Nikki asked.

"Somebody." Jennifer replied, "Now go try it."

"No thank you, I'm more mature." Nikki replied then walked out the door to find Jonathan there.

"Oh...hi!" Nikki exclaimed out of being surprise.

"Hi, I just decided to drop by." He greeted.

"Go, cuz there's somethin' I gotta tell you!" Nikki almost shrieked and pulled him in the house.

"What?" Q-Tip questioned. Jennifer left the room and listened in on the conversation.

"Okay, Tip. This is gonna be hard so let me get it all out before you interrupt me for anything." Nikki began.

"K, girl." He replied.

"I love you! I love you so much! But I just couldn't say anything all this time. You know I'm shy and I hide my feelings. But then my cuz, Jenn, told me I got 'til it's gone, in other words if I take to long, you wouldn't be "available" anymores, ya know. Just thought I'd tell you." Nikki blurted out.

"Ya know what...sweetie...I feel the same about you." Q-Tip replied.

"For real?" Nikki replied.

"Yah." He replied.

"I love you." Nikki quietly said.

"Love ya too." He replied then they hugged.
