The next day Nick found himself parked out front of Brian and Deanna's house. He'd have to face her sooner or later so why not sooner? He got out of the car and walked up the pathway then knocked and waited. I walked to the door drying my hands and got the shock of my life when I opened it and saw Nick standing there. "Nick...hi..." "Hey yourself, can I come in?" "Sure," I stepped aside so he could come in and shut the door. As I watched him sit on the couch I couldn't help but wonder why he was here, last time I saw him he was telling me to get lost. "What are you doing here?" "I have no idea I just wanted to see you." I sat in the chair opposite him and looked at him. He hadn't changed except that now I could see that he lost some weight. "Um...how'd your wedding go?" "I didn't...I mean...we didn't get married." "You didn't? why not?" "I realized that she wasn't the one for me and couldn't be when I'm love with someone else."

Someone else? He didn't mean...no of course not. "Oh...she's a very lucky woman." "Indeed she is, um...I'm sorry about the way I talked to you before." "It's alright don't worry about it." "No it's not I shouldn't have said what I said not when I..." "Not when you what?" Nick looked around "Is Brian here?" "No he took Chris to visit his Mom." "Oh ok...can you come over here?" I got up out of the chair and sat next to him "What is it?" He turned to face me and cupped my chin with his hand and kissed me, not just a peck but a full blown kiss. "Whoa...what...what was that for?" Nick smiled thumbing my chin pleased by my reaction to his kiss. "You weren't expecting that were you?" "No I wasn't. What's all this about?" "You still haven't figured it out? Your the woman I love Dee, I know we've had some rough times before but I wanna make it up to you. I love you." Wait....back up rewind...did I just hear Nick tell me that he loved me? Oh my god, he did say that.

"What about Jess?" "What about her? Sure I loved her but she's not you...don't you love me?" "Yes, more than anything." "Good now that that's out of the way come here," he pulled me onto his lap and held my face in his hands. I looked into his eyes desperately wishing I could wake up from this dream, it wasn't until I felt his lips on mine that I figured out this wasn't a dream. Nick was actually here kissing me and telling me he loved me. I decided to stop thinking and just go with it. I tangled my hand in his hair as he kissed down my neck, I was far gone by this point. I was completely lost in the moment.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Brian watched as his Mom bounced Chris on her lap making him giggle. "How come Deanna didn't come with you?" "She didn't want to." "Are you two having problems?" "Well yes and no." Brian wasn't sure if he wanted to tell his Mom exactly what was going on. "Nothing too serious I hope." "No just little arguments here and there you know how it is." "That I do your father can be a real pain sometimes." She smiled as Chris looked up at her "He is so precious. He looks like you." "You think so? I think he has Deanna's eyes." "Nope those baby blues are all you honey." Brian smiled this was just what he needed to forget about everything an afternoon with his Mom. He couldn't help but think that he should call her to make sure she was ok on her own. "I'm gonna make a call I'll be right back." "Ok honey," she said as she cooed at Chris. Brian took the phone off the wall and dialed the house.

My eyes were closed and my hand was still tangled in his hair when the phone rang. "Nick...maybe I should get that." "Oh no your not going anywhere. Let it ring" He smirked and started moving again which caused me to moan "But it might be important." "More important than me?" I pulled his head down and kissed him forgetting all about the ringing phone, it had been too long.

Brian sighed when he got no answer, she was probably still cleaning like she was when he left. He hung up and rejoined his mother back in the living room. She looked over at him as he sat down "What's the matter baby?" "Nothing...she was probably too busy to pick up the phone." "Well how else do you expect your house to get clean?" Brian smiled better her than him.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled up at him as he rested on his elbows hovering above me. "Are you happy?" "Yes...very..." He smiled and leant down mumbling 'good' as he kissed me. If only it could always be like this. He pulled away and looked down at me "I should get going don't want Brian to catch me here." "Yeah..." "How about you come over to my place tomorrow?" "I'd like that." "I thought you would. I'm gonna go, Love you." I smiled at the words I couldn't believe I was hearing him say that to me again "Love you." I leant up and kissed him before he got off of me and started getting dressed. After Nick left I had alot of energy one guess why. I went back to my cleaning and Brian came home a little bit later. I heard Chris laugh and dropped my rag and went into the living room "There's my baby." I took him from Brian and held him "Mommy missed you did you have fun at Grandmas?" He smiled up at me and I couldn't help but smile back. "Somebody's in a good mood." "I guess you could say that." Brian looked around "Is there anything you didn't clean? "What can I say? I was on a cleaning spree."

I took Chris upstairs and layed him in his crib then went back downstairs to see Brian still standing in the same spot. I smiled and walked to him pulling his head down so I could kiss him. His arms wrapped around my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck. Why not play the role of wife at least so he wouldn't get suspicious? I let him push me back to the couch, I had been depriving him after all.
