Nick woke up and found Brizee cuddled up next to him. He softly kissed her forehead and got up and went to the bathroom and got into the shower.  He was rinsing off when he felt arms slide around his waist.

      I missed you, Brizee said.

      You did, he said turned in her arms and wrapping his arms around her.

      Yeah, I wanted to be in your arms, Brizee said.

      I want you so bad, Nick said.

      Nick, its too soon, you know, I want you, too, but Im not healed, Brizee said.

      I know, baby, I know, Nick said hugging her tight.

      Are you willing to wait, Brizee said.

      Yes, I am, I love you so much, Nick said.

      "I love you, too," Brizee said. He kissed her softly.

Three months later, Brizee was all healed up and she and Nick were making up for lost time. They laid in bed after their latest lovemaking session.

      "Gee, I guess you really wanted me," Brizee said.

      "Yup!" he said kissing her forehead.

      "Nick, I never want to lose you," Brizee said.

      "You won't, I promise, you are stuck with me, I never ever want to be without you," Nick said laying on top of her.

      "Wow, didn't know you felt about me that way," Brizee said.

      "I have always did," Nick said.

      "Since when?" Brizee said.

      "Since we were 18, but I was scared to tell you in case you didn't feel the same way, and when we slept together on Christmas Eve, I was in heaven," Nick said.

      "You could have told me, Nicky, I felt the same way for you, but was scared that you didn't," Brizee said.

      "We lost so much time if we had courage then," Nick said.

      "Well, I can definitely see myself with you, for the rest of my life," Brizee said. He smiled and kissed her neck.  He made love to her again. They went to sleep holding each other.

Meanwhile...at Kevin and Theresa's house

Kevin watched as Theresa slept. For three months, Theresa didn't move from the bed. He knew why she was depressed and he felt anger flow through him. He grabbed his jacket and went to Nick's house. He pounded on the door. A few minutes later, Brizee opened the door in her robe.

      "Hi Kev," Brizee said.

      "You are killing my wife," Kevin said.

      "What?" Brizee said.

      "For three months, Theresa has not moved from the bed because you won't see her or talk to her," Kevin said.

      "Well, if she hadn't have went after my man, I wouldn't be this way," Brizee said.

      "You told her that no guy could come between you two, you lied to her!" Kevin said.

      "Well, Kevin, if you recall, I just got out of the hospital when she came over wanting Nick and I just got together with him," Brizee said.

      "What's going on," Nick said coming downstairs.

      "Kevin says I'm killing Theresa by not talking to her," Brizee said.

      "Kevin, what is going on," Nick said.

      "Theresa hasn't moved from the bed for three months, she is depressed," Kevin said.

      "It's not my fault she can't get up, she should just move on," Brizee said. She went upstairs.

      "Nick, I hate to say this, but your girlfriend is acting like a bitch," Kevin said.

      "Yeah, well, you should go over and tell your wife to move on," Nick said. He shut the door and went upstairs and saw Brizee getting dressed.

      "Briz," Nick said.

      "I have to go," Brizee said. He pulled her close.

      "I don't think so, Briz, if you are running away, don't," Nick said.

      "Nick, I don't belong in your life, Kevin hates me now, I can't be here!" Brizee said pushing him away. She ran out the door. Nick ran after her.

      "Briz, wait!" Nick said. She ran to her car and drove off.
