The sound of thunder woke her. She looked around and noticed she was in her bed. She turned over and noticed Nick was also in the bed. She blushed as she remembered the night before. Thinking about it made her ache in a good way. She looked under the covers and noticed she was still naked, and so was he. "Like what you see?" She quickly put the sheet down and looked up at him. He was smiling with his eyes still closed. She blushed, "I wasn't admiring." He laughed and turned towards leaning on his elbow."Good morning." She smiled, "Morning. Rain is still pretty hard out there, you might not be able to leave today." He leaned in to her and kissed her, "Oh darn." She looked around and noticed the power was still out."I'm going to shower. I'll be back." He fell backwards and put his hands behind his head and nodded, watching her grab her robe and put it on. She then dug in one of her dresser drawers for a lighter. "Power is still out so I will have to turn my candles on." She smiled as she walked into the bathroom. She leaned against the door and closed her eyes. What are you doing? How did that happen? Maybe it can just be a one time thing. You aren't exclusive with Max anyway so its not cheating. One time thing, no worries. Okay Maybe one weekend thing. She giggled silently as she stepped into the shower. When she came out she put on another large t-shirt and shorts. She blow dried her hair a bit to get all the excess water out, and applied a little blush and lip gloss. She walked out of the bathroom and noticed that he was gone, so she made her way to the kitchen where was at the stove. "You have a gas stove!" She laughed and nodded, "You almost have to out here, the water heater is gas too. The refrigerator has a back up generator." He raised his eyesbrows impressed, "No shit?" She walked over to the counter and sat on the stool, "What are you making?" He smiled and turned around to show her the skillet, "Banana Pancakes." She gasped, "You remembered!" They sat at the table eating breakfast, the rain still pouring outside. Dobby laying at her feet. Nick glanced down at the dog, "Dobby huh? Like from Harry Potter?" She smiled down at her dog and nodded, "Yes, he gets extremely happy if I give him a sock." Nick laughed, "You are such a nerd." She raised her eyebrow,"really? I heard you play WoW." He laughed again, "You know what WoW stands for? We can both be nerds then." She laughed, "Alright then, I can agree on that." He cleared his throat, "I never got bored of you." She looked at him confused, so he explained."What you said the other night, that I got bored of you and left. I was never bored of YOU." Her heart started racing, she shook her head, "Nick we don't have to-" He cut her off as he put his fork down, "No but we do have to." He moved his chair closer to her and grabbed her hand, "I need you to understand that it was not about you. I fell into the wrong crowd with her. She made me crave that lifestyle, made the one I was living seem boring. She showed me that I could lose control, and I liked not having control. I enjoyed being able to just let go and forget the stress and pressure of fame." She looked into his eyes, she could feel tears welling up and spilling over. All these years she thought she was the reason he left. He wiped a tear with his thumb from her cheek. "Lilah I don't regret anything in my past because it helped me learn and grow. But I do regret the way it ended? I just really needed you to know that okay?" She nodded but didn't say anything. They continued eating in silence. She kept going over and over his words in her head. "Nick, what happened last night, I don't know if it could be anything else." He looked up at her and smiled,"I didn't tell you all that because I thought we were getting back together. While I enjoyed last night, I know you are seeing Max. Although I know how you feel about cheating." He smiled playfully. She looked up, "That was cheating we aren't exclusive yet." He laughed and held his hands up in defense, "Okay okay." She looked down embarrassed."Sorry, I just really hope this isn't cheating. I'd still like to keep between us." He nodded standing up to clear the table. The thunder rumbled through the house, "So what would you like to do today?" She bit her lip as she thought, slightly blushing from not what but who she'd like to do today. He didn't notice because of the dark. Before she could answer, his phone rang and he stepped away to answer it. She sighed as she walked over to the nook, smiling as she picked up the empty bottle of wine and glasses. After washing those dishes and the ones from breakfast, she went back to the nook and picked up her book. Nick came back in after a while and smiled,"Oooh Deja Vu." She looked up from her book and smiled shaking her head. He picked up an acoustic guitar from the corner of the room, "Do you play?" She nodded, setting her book down and crossing her legs indian style. He sat down next to her and started strumming the guitar. It took a bit for Delilah to notice the song was Plain White T's Rhythm of Love. My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says "Boy quit foolin' around"
I told her "I love the view from up here
Warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the rhythm of love"
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the Music low and sway to the rhythm of love She smiled at one of the verses, catching on to what he was getting at with singing this song. He handed her the guitar, "Play something for me please?" She took it from him and started plucking the chords as he watched. She licked her lips and started singing along. He raised an eyebrow, and the corner of his mouth curved up in a smile. Are you really here or am I dreaming I can’t tell dreams from truth for it’s been so long since I have seen you I can hardly remember your face anymore When I get really lonely and the distance causes our silence I think of you smiling with pride in your eyes a lover that sighs If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me If you want me satisfy me, if you want me satisfy me He stopped her after the chorus, and took the guitar from her setting it on the floor. She looked down at it then back up at him, the look on his face was intense, but she could see the desire in his eyes. His pupils were dilated once more as they looked at her. He cupped her face as he brought her to him. He kissed her once softly and pulled back a little testing the water. When she didn't back away he moved in again kissing her a bit harder. He picked her up straddling him and took them to the bedroom, laying her down on the bed. He slipped her shorts and panties off and ran his hands down her stomach to her legs spreading her thighs open. He kneeled down between them and kissed her stomach along her rib cage making her squirm. He moved his way down in between her thighs, he kissed one side then moved across her hip to the other. Then he put his mouth on her. She moaned as she brought her hands down into his hair. She pulled him up to her face and kissed him, pushing her hips up to meet his. He pulled back and smiled looking down at her "I can take my time this time, since your spell has been broken and all." She looked up at him and smiled. She tugged on his shirt pulling it up over his chest. She then sat up and kissed his chest. She ran her tongue over his chest causing him to throw his head back. She took the opportunity to run her tongue up the vein on the side of his neck. He sat back against the headboard as she crawled up on top of him. She kissed his ear, softly sucking on the lobe. He had removed his pants by now and she kneeled directly above him. She lowered herself a little bit kissing his neck moving along his jaw line.she would let just the tip in, and when he would lift up to meet her she walk lift up as well. A low laugh escaped deep in his throat. She positioned herself over his again and brought her mouth to his. She cupped his face in her hands and kissed him slowly bringing herself down. He brought his hands up to his hips as she controlled the rhythm for them. He kissed her neck then down her chest, her breast were in his face as she sat on him. He brought one into his mouth and sucked. She threw her head back and moaned as he licked her. Together they reached again, breathing heavy. They buried themselves under the covers and laid down.
