Brian got up and went out back and
saw Nick sitting there staring at the pool.
Frack, Im sorry, Brian said.
You should be, Nick said.
I am, Nick, I just felt like I would lose my sister, Brian said.
Brian, you arent going to lose her, no one can replace you, not even me, or Kevin, you are her brother, she loves you,
and she loves me, Nick said.
Nicks right, Brizee said coming out the door.
Briz, Brian said hugging her.
I was right, Brian, Dr. Kelly ran tests, and the baby is Nicks, Brizee said. Nick smiled.
Im so sorry for all that I did, I just didnt want to lose you and now I know that I wont, Brian said.
You are crazy to think that you would lose your only sister, Brizee said. She
buried her face in his neck and hugged him tight. Brian looked up at Nick and then rested his head on Brizees shoulder.
I think you and Frack need time alone, Brian said. He kissed Brizees forehead and went inside. Brizee went over to
Nick and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Hey there, sexy, Brizee said. Nick smiled and hugged her close.
Hey beautiful, Nick said nuzzling her neck.
I love you, Brizee said.
I love you, too, Nick said.
The next night, everyone was at Howies
club, Tabu. It was near closing time. Nick was talking to AJ about something. Brizee sat at the bar with her head on the bar.
Howie came over to her.
Hey sweetheart, you better head home, you need to rest, for the baby, Howie said.
I know, Im just wanting for Nicky, Brizee said.
Hes talking to AJ about something, Ill get him, Howie said.
Its okay, Howie, Im fine, Brizee said.
Briz, you need sleep, its really late, Howie said.
I know it is, I can sleep late, Brizee said.
All right, well, Im going to be in my office if you need anything, okay, Howie said.
Okay, Brizee said. Howie went into his office and closed the door. Nick came over to her.
Hey honey, Im going to go check out something in the VIP booth, okay, Ill be right back, Nick said. He kissed her forehead.
Nick, I want to go home, Brizee said.
We will in a few, I just go to check something out up there, Nick said. He went up to the VIP booth. Brizee sat there.
AJ came up to her.
Hey, AJ said.
Hey AJ, Brizee said.
Tired? AJ said.
Yeah, I just wish Nick would hurry up, Brizee said.
You could come home with me, AJ said.
What, Brizee said.
You remember that night we spent together, we could do it again, AJ said.
No, Brizee said.
I know you liked it, you liked it all, my arms around you, my lips kissing every inch of your body, AJ said.
Are you insane, Brizee said.
Yes, for you, AJ said.
Leave me alone, AJ, Im not falling for it, I dont have feelings for you, okay, just go home! Brizee said. AJ put his
hands on her shoulders and started massaging them.
You are tense, AJ said.
Im tired, AJ, and I want to go home, I wish Nick would hurry up, Brizee said. AJ kissed her neck.
We can amuse ourselves while hes gone, AJ said.
Stop, AJ, Im not in the mood for your games, Brizee said.
I know you want me, Brizee, I know you do, AJ said.
Are you drunk, or just plain stupid, I said no! Brizee said. Howie came out of his office.
Briz, whats going on, Howie said.
AJs trying to seduce me, Brizee said.
AJ, leave her alone and go home, Howie said.
Fine, AJ said. He left.
Wheres Nick, Howie said.
He went up to the VIP booth, Brizee said.
Nick, get your ass down here, Howie called.
Im fixing the lights, man, Ill be down in a sec, Nick said.
Fuck this, Billy, take me home, Brizee said.
Briz, Nick said.
Im going home, Nick, Im tired and I need sleep, Brizee said. She walked out the door with Billy and he took her home.
She walked in and put her purse down. She went up and turned on the light and saw AJ lying on the bed, naked.
AJ, are you crazy, get dressed and get out of here, Brizee said throwing him his clothes.
No, you and I are going to make love, now come on, AJ said.
NO! Brizee yelled.
You know you want me, you just wont admit it, AJ said.
The only thing I want is you gone, now go! Brizee said. She went into the bathroom and closed the door. She leaned
against it and shook her head. She made up a bath with bubbles and undressed and got into the tub.
