!-Collision-!

Carla sat there in her seat on that huge jet and listened to the engines at her side. She never really liked flying. She knew that all of this was part of a new start for her. Whether she stayed a week, a month, two months, there were new horizons waiting for her. Her life could take her down any path and she knew she had made the right decision. She had to get away from everything. The pain she had been through in the last month was absolutely heart wrenching and she knew if she stayed now, she wouldn’t be able to have a clear mind and think things through. AJ clouded her judgment, she couldn’t have that. Wanting to be with him wasn’t good enough right now.

"Hey Sunshine," Vin whispered in Traci’s ear, holding her naked body close to his. The rays shone brightly into the huge master bedroom. It was definitely a girls room, he smiled to himself. The bedroom was all in leapord and had a thin canopy over the top that draped over the sides. It looked like lifestyles of the rich and famous. The bathroom was leapord too and had a huge spa in the middle. This house had been a gift from Vin for Valentines Day! She had tried to say no but he had looked at her with puppy eyes and she accepted.

"Hey there. MMMMMMMMMMM, I need a bath. Wanna come with?" she enticed, getting up and standing in front of him completely naked. He followed her into the bathroom and they were in a world of bubbles within minutes.

"Comear," he said, pulling her on top of his lap. He kissed her with all of the passion the last month had taken away from them.

"Why are you so gorgeous?" she asked with a smile and he looked at her.

"Why are you?" he asked.

"My mommy made me that way?" she giggled and then got serious. She had gotten a long with her mom since she moved to Florida. Her mom hadn’t agreed. She had told her she was just star struck by this actor that would dump her for someone else. She didn’t even know him and she made judgments.

"You should call her," he told her softly, "I’m sure she misses you."

"Yah right. She thinks I am still this boy crazy, star struck little girl. She didn’t agree with any of this, you know that. She would shit if she actually met you," she said.

"Well maybe it’s time I do. It’s been a year and a half Trace. I should meet your family," he said and she hugged him.

"What if they act dumb? They aren’t used to celebrities coming around," she giggled again.

"Hey, I’m a regular guy. You know that. A guy that loves you. She needs to know that and meet me and then she can make her judgments. Whatever she thinks, its her opinion. We know what we have," he explained.

"I don’t know," she hesitated.

"Well, think about it ok?" he asked her.

"Okay," she said.

His hands were going through her golden mane and she kissed his shoulders. God, his body was so amazing. It was perfection.

She felt how hard he was and maneuvered herself on top of him just right. He held onto her shoulders as she slowly moved up and down on top of him, wanting to feel every inch of him deep inside of her.

Baby, I have missed you so much. You couldn’t even know," he told her as she arched back to bring him even deeper inside of her being.

"Yes I do know honey. Oh my god, ohhhhhh," she moaned sweetly and as she arched again, he took her nipple in her mouth and nibbled tenderly. She dug her nails in his back hard and he loved every minute of it.

"I want you to come like you never have before," he told her in that deep sexy voice and as soon as he said it, they both began to come together. They kissed deeply as they came together, long and hard.

She collapsed against his shoulder and he held her tight.

"God I love you," he told her and kissed her sweetly on the lips.

" I love you too," she told him. **********************************************************************************************

"You’re here!!!"Jackie squealed as she saw her sister coming toward her down in the terminal.

"Yah, finally. How are you sis?" Carla asked, hugging her tightly.

"Great! I know you’re not so great but I might as well tell you, AJ called 3 times already," Jackie told her and Carla’s eyes lit up. He cared and she knew he did.

"Really? He knows it’s a long flight. So um what did he say?" Carla asked nonchalantly.

"Um, that he loves you and is thinking of you. Those are his exact words. He told me that he asked you to marry him last night Carla. Did you really say no?" Jackie asked.

"Yah, I really did. I mean what the hell? After what he did, I am just supposed to forget about it and be like, okay I will be your wife. I can’t say yes right now," Carla said. " I have new horizons to explore."

"Well, you forgave Tracy. What does that mean?" Jackie inquired.

"It means that she really had no idea. I mean, yah she is with Vin but that is her business what she does with him," Carla said.

"Oh my god, that guy is sooooo hot!" Jackie giggled and Carla agreed with her. Her friend was a lucky girl!

"Yah, he’s a really nice guy too. He was there for me when all this shit was happening. And then he is the one who told me last night, look into my heart and decide that way. Well I know that I love AJ but I know I am not ready to accept his proposal. Don’t know if I ever will. Hopefully being here will help me clear things up," Carla said.

"Well, you know I will support you with whatever you decide. How is that Nick guy? He seems kind of arrogant," Jackie said, pretending not to care. But Carla knew here sister better.

"He is a sweetheart. Maybe a little full of himself. He was all pissed because he was trying to get Traci into bed and it didn’t work at all. It was funny! That boy need a little rejection. He is soooo not used to it," Carla giggled.

"Hmm. So he’s a player huh? Lots of one nighters?"Jackie asked. They were still waiting for Carla’s luggage and she pretended to be very interested in her nails.

"I wouldn’t say that. He is just a ladies man. I mean, the girls like him. But he and I have talked and he really wants someone to spend time with and that cares for him and not his job," Carla said. This could be fun. Maybe she could talk Jackie into coming back to Florida with her. It was almost the end of the semester for her and there were lots of journalism schools out there

Jackie hadn’t dated in awhile. Her last relationship has lasted almost 3 years. He had started to become violent with her and she put up with it for about 6 months, longer than she thought she ever would. But she finally had the strength to leave and turned her life around. She went back to school for Journalism, had a great job as an intern for a publicist. It had worked out nicely because they loved her work so much that they paid her for it, something interns didn’t get.

"Not that I care who he sleeps with. I mean I don’t even know the guy," Jackie said. She was sooooo not playing it cool, just thought she was.

"What are you hooked or something? Been watching those tapes of the concerts I send you huh? "Carla was smiling and Jackie didn’t say anything right away.

"No way!! He is not even cute. Okay, yah he is," Jackie finally started giggling.

"Well, why don’t you think about moving back with me at the end of the semester. I could hook you up. He thinks you have a cute voice!! He has listened to some messages you left me

" How does he know I am not gross?" JAckie asked.

"Oh well, I kind of showed him your picture. And his exact words were ‘damn! Hook me up’ ," Carla was so proud of herself!!

"Oh my god! And youre just telling me this now?" Jackies was all shaky inside. They were finally at her apartment and they were bringing Carla’s things in the house.

"Well, I didn’t know how you would react. Your last relationship wasn;t exactly happy. I didn’t want to push you into anything sis," Carla explained.

"I know. Jake called me yesterday. I didn’t pick up. I don’t want to talk to him. I need to just forget about him. I guess maybe going back with you would be a good idea. I need a fresh start," Jackie said.

"Yah you do," Carla said and her phone rang.

"GIRL!! You promised you would call me as soon as your plane landed! I am freaking out over here! SO you didn’t crash thank God!" Traci’s voice was all hyper.

"Uh yah I am fine! You goofball!" Carla said.

"Well, you need to call Alex. He is driving me nuts and Vin is getting pretty pissed that he keeps calling her. I told him it is about you but he is mad now," Traci said, sticking her tongue out at her man and he tried not to laugh. She was too damn cute! He went over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Alright, fine. I’ll call him," Carla said.

"Okay, call me later," Traci said and as soon as they hung up, Carla’s phone rang again.

"Baby, are you okay?"AJ sounded seriously worried.

"I’m fine J. I was just going to call you to let you know that," Carla was trying to sound calm but the sound of his voice still made her heart pound, still gave her butterflies in her tummy.

"Cool. I miss you already," he told her and he really meant it.

" I do too," she said, not really wanting to admit it, not yet.

"When are you coming home?" he asked, sounding like a little boy.

"I don’t know J. I really don’t know right now. I will let you know though," she said.

"Alright. Just know that I love you," he said and she wanted to cry.

"I love you too," she said, hanging up, feeling her heart break a little more. She didn’t know there was anything left to break.
