Chapter Twenty Five
As soon as Elenore had her clothes off so that her brand new bathing suit that Kevin had gotten her at the mall was all she had on Nick put Dakota down and took a hold of each girl’s hands.
“Alright ladies, I don’t want either of you letting go of my hand at all once we go in there you hear me? You’re both very tiny I’m afraid the waves might carry you away from me if you do and it’s starting to get dark out so it will be harder for me to find you. So please stay close to me. Understood?”
“Yes Daddy,” Dakota answered. She knows the rules, Nick has taken her swimming in the ocean many times. Nick looked down at Elenore.
“Ellie?”
“Yes Nicky,” She answered, putting a death grip on Nick’s hand. “No leggo of your hand.”
“Good girl,” he praised, making Elenore smile up at him nervously. She had never been called a good girl before in her life. It makes her want to do even more good things just so that she can hear it again. He then began to lead the two girls into the water. They stayed where the waves weren’t so huge at first just so Elenore could get used to the water and the girls would have a chance to let go and play around a little bit. After awhile Dakota looked up at Nick.
“Daddy can you take us out further? Please?” Nick nodded.
“Mm hmm,” he answered, and he lifted both girls up into his arms so that each of them were rested on his hips and he began to carry them out further so that they could have fun with the bigger waves. They played for awhile, then when Kevin and Ashley got done talking they got up and went and joined Nick and the kids. They walked out to where Nick was and Nick handed Elenore over to Kevin. Kevin hugged her close and kissed her forehead and she returned his hug. Nick wrapped an arm around Ashley and leaned down and kissed her lips gently.
“Hey beautiful…your getting your clothes all wet.”
“And your point?” Ashley asked, moving closer to him as she wrapped her arm around his waist so the waves don’t knock her over and she looked him in the eyes.
“Just making sure you knew that,” he replied, laughing a little. She rested her head against his shoulder and she looked at Kevin who had taken Dakota from Nick and was now setting up some kind of game with the kids. Nick looked over at them as well as he stood there rubbing his hand over Ashley’s back and he kissed her forehead softly.
“Look at him with those girls…I guess the saying is true. Want to see a man turn into a total softie…hand him a couple of babies.” Nick whispered into Ashley’s ear and she giggled.
“I could say the same thing with you and Kota. If only you could see how you get with her… it’s priceless and adorable.” Nick smirked.
“Well you aren’t so bad with her yourself,” he replied, as he began to pull her out of sight from Kevin and the kids and he brought his lips down on hers in a soft but passionate kiss. “Ever make out in the ocean before?” he asked her between kisses.
“You’re the first boyfriend I’ve ever had, Nicky…you know that,” she answered, before kissing him back making her kisses much more deeper. Nick moaned.
“Could’ve fooled me…” he mumbled.
~*~*~*~*~
“So…are you having a good time tonight?” Brian asked Riley, after grabbing a coke out of the ice chest and sitting down next to her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.
“Yeah…” Riley answered, darting her eyes away from Brian in hopes that he won’t read her emotions. No such luck.
“Then why do you look so depressed? And why are you trying to hide it from me? You know I read you like a book and hiding it just doesn’t do any good.”
“I don’t know…I guess I just can’t get last night off my mind…and what he did to me, and how he called me this morning and assumed I was going to forgive him just because he apologized…”
“What happened last night?” AJ asked curiously. “I mean I know this whole barbeque tonight was to take her mind off of things and cheer her up…but what happened?”
“You know how she and Chase were supposed to have a romantic evening last night, right?”
“Yeah…” Howie replied, also wanting to know the answer.
“Well he got a call in the middle of it from his boss saying that he ‘has work to do’ and it was important that he came in right away. So of course, him being the asshole that he is left her right in the middle of dinner. She came over to my house crying and upset. Then this morning at the Orphanage he called her and tried to apologize and they ended up getting into a huge fight over the phone.” AJ shook his head.
“Man Ri I swear you should just let me kick his ass for you. That will show him.” Riley couldn’t help but laugh a little. “Seriously. Id beat him up till he was begging and pleading for me to stop and by the time I finally stop he will never even think about hurting you again.”
“As much as Id love you for that Alex, I don’t think that’s such a good idea. He’s a lot bigger then you.”
“Psh…I could take him. Haven’t you ever heard of the story David and Goliath?” Riley laughed again, but then suddenly a huge gush of wind came and she scooted into Brian shivering.
“Man it’s getting cold out here…it’s been pretty windy and cloudy out since last night. Do you think it’s gonna storm any time soon?”
“Hopefully not while we’re out here, that would suck.” Howie replied, as Brian scooted him and Riley closer to the fire in attempt to warm her up some and he rubbed his hand over her arms. She leaned into him comfortably and rested her head against his shoulder and he placed soft kisses on her forehead. She loves how Brian always manages to make her feel warm no matter what.
“I love you Bri…” she told him softly and he hugged her tightly.
“I love you too,” He replied, again wishing she meant it the way he does. Howie and AJ however, exchanged each other looks and studied Riley curiously. They always hear Riley tell Brian she loves him, and Brian always tells her he loves her too but tonight there was a different tone in Riley’s voice….a more meaningful tone. What does that mean?
~*~*~*~*~*~
“Nicky…” Ashley whimpered, when the two of them had finally surfaced from their make out session, Kevin and the kids somewhere near by but with the big waves surrounding them none of them are able to see them.
“Hmm?” He asked softly, trying to recover from her powerful kisses. She always leaves him breathless and wanting more it never fails.
“I’m cold…” she whined, pushing herself more into him and he wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tight.
“Okay…lets get you out of this water and sitting by a warm fire then,” he told her and he lifted her up so he is cradling her. She rested her head against his shoulder and he carried her out of the water and over to Howie, AJ, Brian, and Riley who are sitting around the fire talking.
“Hey Nick…what’s wrong with Ash?” Brian asked curiously.
“Nothing, she’s just cold.” Nick answered, as he sat Ashley down on one of the blankets.
“Stay right here sweetie, I’m gonna go get us some blankets to snuggle up with okay?” Ashley nodded, and he turned and hurried back toward his house. When he returned he had a bunch of blankets - he brought enough for when Dakota, Elenore, and Kevin decided to come back too.
“Hey Nick…do you have a blanket for Ri? She’s cold too.” Brian asked.
“Mm hmm, don’t worry I thought about her too.” Nick replied, and he handed a blanket to Brian. He wrapped it around Riley and hugged her close. Nick sat down next to Ashley. He brought her a little bit closer to the fire before wrapping a couple of blankets around her. She grabbed a hold of them and wrapped them around Nick too as she turned to face him and wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close and he kissed her forehead.
“Warm now baby?”
“Yeah…”
“Good,” he replied softly and he looked at Brian, Riley, Howie and AJ.
“So what have you all been up to?”
“Nothing really, just talking about how I am going to kick Chase’s ass.” AJ answered, a smirk on his face and Ashley giggled a little.
“Awesome! Can I help?” Nick replied.
“Sure thing, Nicky. The more the better.” Nick narrowed his eyes at him.
“Okay, okay. Nick. Sorry…” AJ replied, a goofy grin on his face.
“You know that no one is allowed to call me that.”
“Why not? I call you that,” Ashley asked innocently. Nick looked at her and smiled at her lovingly.
“Except you,” He told her gently and he placed his nose to hers for an Eskimo’s kiss. She smiled up at him. AJ rolled his eyes.
“Hey! You two seriously should get a room.”
“Awww…Aje your just jealous.” Nick replied.
“Jealous of what Carter, you? Nah I’m good.”
“Oh that’s right. Cause you have Howie right?” AJ and Howie both raised their eyebrows at Nick.
“Ooh Nickolas you had better take that back,” Howie replied. Nick smirked.
“Relax D, I’m just messing with you. But you know, there have been a LOT of rumors lately. And you DO spend a lot of time with each other.” AJ suddenly very irritated with the younger man jumped up and ran toward Nick.
“Shit…” Nick mumbled, and he jumped up and took off running down the beach with AJ chasing after him. Howie shrugged.
“Told him he should’ve taken it back.”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” They suddenly heard Nick yell out, as AJ had finally caught up to the taller man and tackled him to the ground. The two men wrestled with each other a bit and Howie rolled his eyes.
“Wait a minute. Which are the children again? Kota and Ellie or Nick and AJ?”
“Good question. It’s kinda hard to tell sometimes,” Brian replied. Suddenly Nick broke free of AJ and he jumped up and took a run for it back to the fire and AJ jumped up and ran after him.
“Come BACK here Carter I am not done with you yet!”
“I’m sorry Alex, but I have a girlfriend already!” When Nick made it back to the group, he slid to the ground next to Ashley and gently pulled her into his lap as AJ suddenly came to an abrupt stop. Nick took Ashley’s hands and held them up into a position like she is a ninja turtle about to kick some ass.
“Stand back, you! I’ve got Ashley and you wouldn’t dare harm me with her right here would you?” AJ narrowed his eyes at him.
“You can’t hold her forever, you’ll put her down sometime.”
“Hahaha, we’ll see. But I could hold her for hours, and hours…she’s very light and easy to carry around.” Nick replied, hugging Ashley close to him and she snuggled into him. AJ rolled his eyes and he went and resumed his spot next to Howie. Nick shifted Ashley so she’s straddling him and he made pouty lips.
“AJ tackled me to the ground Ashley…” he pouted. Ashley laughed.
“Awww….I’m sorry baby but you did have it coming to you.” Nick continued to pout and she laughed at him once again.
“You’re so adorable when you pout.” His pout suddenly turned into a grin and she placed her hand to his cheek and pulled his lips down on hers in a soft kiss. Suddenly they heard Dakota giggle from behind them.
“Daddy and Ashee sittin’ in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” she sang and Elenore laughed at her as did everyone else. Nick pulled away from kissing Ashley and he looked up to find Dakota, Elenore, and Kevin standing there, all of them soaking wet from playing in the water. Both little girls holding a handful of sea shells that they have collected. He chuckled a little.
“Shush you,” he told her.
“Daddy I’m cold,” she whined, and he noticed that she was indeed shivering and he could also see Elenore doing it too.
“Come here girls, I brought a blanket out for you.” He told them. Elenore and Dakota walked over to him and he wrapped a blanket around the both of them before tossing Kevin one as well.
“Why don’t you girls get comfortable by the fire and I will go inside and get the s’mores I bought?” Kevin offered. Dakota gasped.
“S’MORES?? Oh Uncle Kevy we gots to have s’mores!” Kevin smiled at her.
“Yes, that we do honey. Ellie has never had them before.” Dakota’s jaw dropped in shock and she turned to her confused friend.
“Oh Ellie your goin’ to love em’! They’re sooo good!” Kevin chuckled.
“Okay, you two get comfortable by the fire and I will go get them.” He told them. Elenore sat down close to the fire, but not too close that she would get burned - Riley made sure of that and Dakota went and sat next to her. Kevin hurried off toward the house and Nick gently made Ashley lay back in the sand before lying next to her with the blankets wrapped over the two of them. He rested his head in the palm of his hand as he laid on his side and he lay there gently playing with a strand of Ashley’s hair as he gazed into her eyes. When Kevin returned, he, Riley, Howie, AJ, and Brian all did s’mores with the kids and Dakota made s’mores for Nick and Ashley because they were comfortable where they were at and didn’t want to get up. Plus as long as Nick had Ashley with him AJ couldn’t beat him up. So he was determined to stay right where he was at. They spent a couple of hours more camping out, than they decided that they would clean up and head back to the Orphanage. When they got there it was time for Dakota and Elenore’s bed time so Nick and Kevin got them both ready for bed and decided they would allow the girls to have a slumber party in Elenore’s room because Ashley wants to go up to the hospital and see her sister and Nick wants to go with her as he is still a little nervous about letting her wander about the two buildings alone. Doctor Adams may be in jail now, but Sean isn’t and he has a history for breaking into the Orphanage. When the two girls were settled into Elenore’s room lying in bed with Kevin sitting in the lazy boy chair that he borrowed from Nick and the two of them are eating popcorn and watching Beauty and The Beast with the lights off, Nick took Ashley’s hand and began to lead her to the hospital building. When they got there they ran into Doctor Johnson like they usually do.
“Hey Nick, Hey Ashley…” He greeted, looking at the two of them curiously. “Here to see Kori?”
“Yeah,” Nick answered, squeezing Ashley’s hand gently.
“That’s cool…she’s been missing you Ashley.”
“Yeah?”
“Mm hmm. She was asking for you earlier and stuff but I told her that you left to go to a barbeque with Nick and some friends.”
“Oh…”
“Yup. Well I’ve gotta go check on some patients so I will see you around.”
“Yeah, see ya,” Nick replied and he began to lead Ashley to Kori’s room. Once they got there Ashley opened the door and peeked inside, as did Nick to find that Kori was not alone. There is a guy sitting in a chair - a tall and lanky looking guy who is about 6’2ish and he has dark brown hair that reaches to his cheekbones and emerald green eyes. From where she is standing she can see that he has two cartilage piercings in his left ear and an industrial in his other. Since he is wearing shorts she can tell that he has a British flag on his calf, and she can see an ‘M’ on the inside of his wrist. There is also another guy sitting in a chair next to him who has light brown hair that is kind of short and all over the place. He has brownish/hazel eyes and he looks like he is about 5’9”. He also looks a little thicker then the other man. He has the right side of his lip pierced, and a English flag on his calf just like the other man. There is a little boy sitting on the bed to the right of Kori and he looks no older then Elenore. He has dark brown hair that reaches to right below his ears and it’s kind of shaggy looking. He has dark blue eyes and a dimple on his left side. On the other side of Kori is a girl about her age. She has red hair with blonde streaks in it, and brown eyes. She looks about 5’7 and has a tattoo of some kind of Celtic design on her arm. Hearing the door open, everybody looked at Nick and Ashley. Ashley looked highly confused, as did Nick. Doctor Johnson didn’t tell them she had visitors with her. Ashley studied the little boy more than anyone else in the room. Why does he look so familiar? Who is he? If she didn’t know any better…she’d say he looks a little bit like Kori. Kori’s friends recognized Ashley right away as Kori’s sister. She looks exactly like Kori.
“Um…we’ll take Spencer here and go find a vending machine or something…” Isabel announced, and she reached over and scooped the little boy in her arms. Wiley and Chris stood up from their chairs.
“Yeah, do you want anything Kor?”
“Some dr pepper would be nice…” Kori replied softly.
“Okay,” Chris replied, and he and Wiley followed Isabel past Ashley and Nick and out of the room. Ashley walked into the room and Nick followed, closing the door behind them.
“Who are they?” Ashley asked softly, as she sat in the chair that the tall and lanky man used to be sitting in. Nick sat next to her in the other chair.
“Just some friends from New Jersey….”
“And the little boy?” Ashley asked, her voice much softer then before. She has a feeling she already knows this answer. The little boy looked a lot like Kori…and he even had a little bit of Ashley in him too…only a little bit. Plus his name starts with an S…just like Scott’s name.
“My son…” Kori answered softly. “My five year old son…your nephew.”
“Were you planning on telling me about him, or was he going to be one of your secrets too?”
“If you had given me the chance earlier I would have told you…I wouldn’t keep your nephew from you Ashley.”
“Right, except for the past five years that is.”
“Can we not do this again? Please? If you’re going to continue being angry with me I would rather you just leave.”
“Was he one of the reasons you ran away?” Ashley asked softly.
“Yes…one of the big reasons why…I was not only ‘protecting’ you, mom, and dad but I was protecting Spencer too. I had to get away from the bad life I was living and start over. And I was doing just fine until this happened…”
“Until you came back and ‘rescued’ me? I’m sorry I messed up your oh so perfect life, Kori.”
“No…until SEAN messed up my life. I would come running back for you all over again if I had to, Ashley. You’re my sister and as much as you don’t want to believe me, I do love you.”
"Why should I believe you? You just up and left me! You could've told me what was going on, Kori!" Ashley told her angrily. "I was worried about you when you left and scared you'd never come back! And I was right - you never did! You didn't even come back after Mom and Dad got killed! How could you not come back for me!?!?!"
“Ashley for the thousandth time, I did not know mom and dad were killed until yesterday! If I had known I would have come running back in a heartbeat, but I didn’t.“
"Then tell me why you left in the first place!" Ashley exclaimed. "How do you expect me to trust you, if you can't even tell me why?"
“Because I took some things from Sean, okay? And he wants them from me but I can’t give them to him!”
"What could you have taken that was so bad?" Ashley wanted to know. "He killed Mom and Dad for them." Kori hesitated for a moment.
“I took the code that would shut down the laser beam lights that protect a very valuable jewel in a museum. He was going to steal it so I took the code from him so that he wouldn’t. Also before I left I took a picture of him committing a crime.”
"Why didn't you tell the police?" Ashley demanded. "If you had, Mom & Dad might actually be alive right now!"
“Because I was really scared, Ashley… I panicked. I wasn’t thinking about anything except for the fact that I had to get away. If I knew mom and dad’s lives were in danger I would have… If I could go back in time and fix things believe me I would!” Kori answered, tears rolling down her cheeks. She will never be able to forgive herself for what had happened to her parents.
"What took you so long to come back?" Ashley questioned. "I mean, you could have come back at anytime."
“I don’t know…I guess I got caught up with life in New Jersey… I got a job at a diner that I now own and live in to take care of me and Spencer, I met some very great people there, I had Spencer…and I guess I was terrified that if I came back Sean would find out and come after me and kill me…”
"You could've told the cops then," Ashley insisted. "And if you got caught up in Jersey life, why even bother coming back now? Why still care all these years later, if you didn't even bother to once attempt to call."
“I did attempt to call…many times but all I was able to do was dial our number and then hang up again. I was scared…I never stopped thinking about you, I never stopped caring…and of course I came back. Do you really think Id let Sean kill you?”
"Yes," Ashley answered simply.
“Well obviously not since I am sitting here in a hospital after being nearly killed for coming back to rescue you. I obviously really care about you to risk my life like that. So how about you give me a chance to prove to you that I have changed? That I do love you and I want to make things right? You don’t have to trust me right now…but at least try and give me a chance to prove myself to you.”
~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile after Brian had dropped Riley off at her house, she got out of the car and went inside to find the house dark. She went upstairs to her room to find Chase sitting at the desk working on the next model building that he is trying to design. He looked at her when he came in.
“Where have you been? You were supposed to be home hours ago!” He demanded to know.
“Why do you care? Did you really expect me to sit here at home while you worked all night?”
“I have been here since 8:00, Riley.”
“Wow, big deal. The one night I decide to hang out with my friends instead of coming home your actually home early for once. And I should care because?”
“Well you’re ALWAYS complaining about me working so late, so the one time I come home early and am here for the entire night you aren’t here to spend it with me. Now I suppose this is my fault?”
“Yes,” Riley answered simply.
“How the FUCK is it my fault?” Chase asked, raising his voice slightly and he stood up.
“Because you’re usually never home and you didn’t even call me to tell me that you were so I just assumed it was a regular night in an empty house by myself! And I can’t HANDLE those nights anymore, Chase!”
“You and I were supposed to go out tonight remember? Remember our plans we made last night while dancing?”
“Well Chase, you cancel out on me all the time, maybe now you know how it feels to be ditched.”
“Where were you?”
“Out with friends.”
“Doing what?”
“Do I ask you what you do when you go out with your friends?”
“Yes, all the time!”
“I went to my friend Nick’s house - Brian, AJ, Howie, and Kevin were there as well as Nick’s daughter, and two of the children from my Orphanage. We had a barbeque. There, I told you. Now are you satisfied?”
“I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t act like a bitch when talking to me, all I did was ask you a question. You’re my wife, I have a right to know where you’re at when you stay out late!”
“You stay out late ALL the time Chase, suddenly I do it and it’s a big fucking deal!”
“You know I REALLY wish you would quit getting on my case about working when I only do it to take care of YOU Riley! Would you like to be living out on the streets? Cause if so, do tell me and I will go and quit my job so that I can spend every fucking day with you out on the streets!”
“If I can only have you on the streets then maybe Brian and everybody was right about what they said. Maybe I do deserve better. Brian travels the world as a Backstreet Boy and when he’s not doing that he works in the Orphanage - he has TWO jobs yet he STILL finds the time to spend sometime with me! How is it that my husband who only has ONE job can’t spend any time with me at all?”
“Because you’re an ungrateful little bitch! The only thing you ever do is NAG at me and I am fucking SICK of it!” Chase yelled, and he grabbed the chair to the desk and threw it across the room so that it hit the wall next to Riley. Riley screamed and jumped away from it and she began to cry. “TELL me what I’ve gotta do Riley? What do I have to do to make you happy?” He yelled, suddenly getting in her face. Riley backed away.
“Get the fuck away from me!” Riley cried, shoving him away and she turned and headed downstairs.
“Where are you going?!” Chase yelled at her, and he followed her out of the room and down the stairs.
“Somewhere that I can go to get away from YOU!” Riley cried. “I can’t be here with you when you’re like this, Chase!” She then grabbed her hoodie and she walked out of the house slamming the door before putting the hoodie on, zipping it up, and pulling the hood down over her head as it is raining hard outside and she headed to Brian’s house walking there. She had left her car keys in the house because she was in such a hurry to get away from him. She can’t understand why he is acting like this. He has never ever gotten violent with her before. When she reached Brian’s house she knocked on the door. When he opened it he found her standing there sobbing and he sighed.
“What happened now sweetie?” He asked gently and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her out of the rain and into the house. He shut the door behind her and she fell into his arms crying.
“I can’t take it anymore, Brian, I can’t handle this shit anymore….” she cried into his shoulder and he pulled her over to the couch and pulled her down onto the couch next to him.
“What happened honey?” He asked again, his voice so gentle and sweet. He can tell something really bad had to have happened. He has never seen her this upset before. She even looks terrified.
“Chase and I got into a huge fight…” Riley answered. “I came home and went upstairs to find him working on his next design and he demanded me to tell him where I was…and I did and we got into one of our typical fights about the same thing we always fight about and he got very pissed off at me and threw a chair across the room so that it hit the wall that I was standing next to….If I hadn’t moved it would have hit me… and then he got in my face and started yelling at me and I just couldn’t be there anymore. I can’t be there when he acts like that; I had to get away…” She explained, the entire time crying. He wrapped his arms around her and she rested her head against his shoulder as he rubbed her back.
“He told me I was selfish and ungrateful…and all I do is nag…”
“He’s an asshole baby and he doesn’t know what he is talking about. The last thing you are is selfish. Far from it…you don’t deserve to be called that at all.” He explained as he held her close to her and just let her cry it all out. When she had calmed down a long while later she looked up at him.
“Brian…”
“Hmm?”
“How come you’re so good to me?” He wiped away her tears as he gazed into her stormy blue eyes and he tucked her damp hair back behind her ear.
“Because I love you so much….you mean the whole world to me and I don’t understand how anyone could ever treat you so badly…you’re the most caring and thoughtful woman there is and you’re far from being selfish. You have done so much for those children in the hospital…and all you can do is think about them and you never stop to have time for yourself. I love you for that…and all I ever want to do is make you happy. Because I love to see you smile and I hate it so much when he upsets you.” Riley looked up at Brian for a few minutes, just looking at him until all of the sudden she placed her hand to his cheek and pulled his face down to hers, capturing his lips with hers in a soft kiss. This took him by surprise at first, but then he placed his hand on top of hers as it remained on his cheek and he kissed her back making it much deeper. A few minutes later when she realized what she was doing she pulled away and looked upset again.
“Oh my god Brian I am sorry… I am so, so sorry I don’t know what came over me I -”
“Riley, Riley baby shhh… It’s okay,” he cut her off and he cupped her cheek making her look him in the eyes.
“I enjoyed it…”
“But…Brian…it’s wrong. I’m married…” He looked her in the eyes for a few moments before answering.
“Why is it wrong when it feels so right?” He asked softly, and she looked up at him confused. “Riley I have wanted you since the very first day Nick introduced me to you… since the very first day that I laid eyes on you. I have been in love with you ever since and it’s been killing me all of these years that I couldn’t have you because you’re married to an asshole who doesn’t treat you right at all. You obviously want me too if you just kissed me…it was obviously something that you wanted. So why is it wrong? Why is it wrong when I could love you way more then he loves you. Baby I would never even dream of making you cry the way he does. I would never dream of yelling at you, and baby you’ve always been my top priority. Please… give me a chance.” Riley looked at him for a few moments, tears rolling down her cheeks. After thinking about it for a few minutes she again captured his lips with hers in a passionate kiss and he kissed her back gratefully. He pulled her into his lap so she’s straddling him and he stood up and started up the stairs never breaking their kiss once.
