~*Chapter 66*~
Nick and Amy were in the middle of an intense lovemaking session,their
bodies pressed together as one.She cried out his name,as he trailed kisses
all over her body.His methodic thrusts were making her beg for more.
Finally,exhausted,he rolled off her and sighed."Geez,girl.You wear me
out," he breathed,and they both laughed.
She crawled on top of him."Don't tell me you're done already," she
replied,leaning down and kissing his neck.
He moaned.She was sitting on top of him,pressing herself against him,and
he could feel himself start to react to it.
She grinned when she felt him."Come on,Nicky.I still wanna have some
fun," she whispered,moving herself against him,making him more aroused.
He flipped her underneath him and entered into her,making her cry out his
name.Their breathing was heavy,their bodies dripping with sweat from the
intensity of their lovemaking.
After a few hours,she climbed out of bed and headed for the bathroom."I'm
gonna take a shower.Don't go anywhere," she tossed at him.
He sighed and got out of bed to pull on some boxers,then crawled back in
and lay staring up at the ceiling.He couldn't believe how good he felt being
with Amy~better than he's felt since he lost Blane.He was happy he was
finally getting on with his life,and not sitting around missing her all the
time.
About twenty minutes later,he heard her turn the shower off,and a few
minutes later the bathroom door opened and she emerged wearing a short red
nightshirt.She was rubbing her hair with a towel.
He laid staring at her,his mouth hanging open.
She laughed."Close your mouth,Nick.You're drooling," she replied.
He sat up and grinned."Come here," he said,and she came over and kneeled
in front of him.He brought his hands to her hips and pulled her closer to
him,then brought his lips to her mouth.She raked her fingers through his hair.
"Did I tell you yet how good you taste tonight?," he murmered between
kisses.
She giggled."So do you," she said,gently pushing him back on the bed,and
travelling kisses down his throat.
He groaned as he reached down and slowly pulled her nightshirt up to her
waist,then reached down and gently began to stroke her tight,firm ass.He
removed it the rest of the way,and then placed himself on top of her.
"Good Lord,Nicky.You're very horny tonight," she whispered,as he entered
into her and began to make passionate love to her for the third time that day.
~*Chapter 67~*
The next day,Erica knocked on Nick's front door.When he answered,he
didn't say anything.She gave him a small smile.
"Hey.Can we talk?," she asked.
He nodded and stepped back,and she walked past him into the living room.
She turned to him."I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted
yesterday.I shouldn't have said what I did,and I feel really bad for doing
so," she replied.
He gave her a small smile."And I realize I shouldn't have said what I
did,either.But Erica,you have to understand~I really like Amy.Can you at
least try to get along with her?For me?"
She nodded."Yeah.For you I will Nick," she told him,and they hugged.When
they pulled apart,she gave him another smile.
"I have some great news.Me and AJ are having another baby," she replied,a
huge grin spreading across her face.
He smiled at her."Wow,that's great," he said."Congratulations." He
suddenly grew quiet,and walked over to the window and stared out at the ocean.
She walked over to him."What's wrong?," she asked.
He shrugged."I have these days when I think I'm doing OK without
Blane,then the realization will hit once again that she's gone and never
coming back.I guess I'll get better with time," he replied.
She squeezed his arm."I miss her too Nick.She was my best friend.That's
part of the reason I got so mad at Amy yesterday~because I thought she was
taking Blane's place.But I think it's great that you're moving on," she said.
He turned and gazed at her."Can I be honest with you,Erica?I really like
Amy,but I think what happened between us just happened because I was feeling
so vulnerable from losing Blane.Does that make sense?," he asked.
Erica nodded."Yes,it does.You are still vulnerable,Nick.But only you can
decide what's right," she told him.
He thought about her words.Finally she hugged him and said," I better get
going.See you later."
After she left,he stood staring out the window.He knew what he had to do
when Amy came back that night,and it wasn't going to be easy...
~*Chapter 68*~
"You lied Nick!You said you loved me," Amy declared.She had just returned
home from work,only to be faced with the news that Nick was dumping her.
Nick put his hands up."I did not lie to you,Amy.I just think what
happened between us happened because I was still feeling vulnerable over
losing Blane.I care about you Amy;I do.I just think it's too soon to be
getting involved with anyone.I hope you understand."
Amy was quiet as she wiped away her tears.Finally,she looked over at
him."I know you're still hurting over losing Blane,Nick.But I love you.I
can't lose you now.Too much has happened."
Nick sighed.He flopped back on the couch.This wasn't going the way he had
planned.He gazed at her.
"I'm sorry,Amy,but that's the way I feel," he told her.
She stood up and grabbed her purse."Well,I obviously don't get a say in
this,so I'll just go now.I should have known better than to get involved with
you Nick.I knew you'd have a change of heart," she tossed at him,and left.
Nick sat on the couch,staring at the wall.Suddenly tears began to stream
down his cheeks,and he was thinking of Blane.He missed her now more than ever.
After a few minutes,he grabbed his car keys and hopped in his
Durango.There was someplace he needed to go,a place where,when he left,he
felt so much better.
~*Chapter 69*~
A few days later,the guys left to begin the American leg of their
tour.And for the next two months,Nick threw himself into his work,to keep his
mind off Amy.For some reason,he hadn't been able to stop thinking of her
since he had broken up with her.
One night he called her from the hotel.Her answering machine picked up.He
took a deep breath:"Hey Amy.It's Nick.I'm just calling to see how you're
doing.I'm doing OK;just real busy with the tour and everything." He
paused."When you get this message,please give me a call.I think we need to
talk about a few things." He left the name and number of the hotel he was
staying at,then hung up.
He layed back on the bed and sighed.He had been doing alot of thinking
lately and realized that he wanted to give their relationship a second
chance.He was feeling like he could finally move on with his life,and Amy was
the girl who he wanted to move on with.
Yeah,he would never forget Blane,and he would always love her,but he felt
as if she was telling him to quit missing her and find someone to love as
much as he loved her.
He layed there for awhile before getting up and getting ready for that
night's show.
