Its been three weeks since the break up and Brizee knew he wouldnt
give her the time of day. She laid in bed and rubbed her tummy.
Im
sorry, sweetie, I messed up everything, I am a screw up, but I wont screw up with you, I promise, Brizee said softly. She
turned and faced the window and watched the sky. She heard voices downstairs. She heard the front door shut. She looked out the window and saw Nick and AJ talking.
She saw them putting bags into the car. She laid down and knew the tour was starting
again and that she wasnt going. She heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
Are
you coming or not, Nick said.
Where?
Brizee said.
The
tour, Brizee, you coming? Nick said.
I
didnt think I was invited, Brizee said.
You
think Im going to leave you here pregnant and alone, Nick said.
Gee,
didnt think you cared, Brizee said.
I
care about the baby, Brizee, come on, Nick said. She slowly got up and got her
stuff together. AJ came in and stood there.
Hi
Briz, AJ said.
Hi,
Brizee said as she packed.
Kev
told me everything, AJ said.
Figured
it would get to you somehow, Brizee said.
Why,
AJ said.
Why
what, Brizee said.
Why
did you hurt Nick, cheat on him, AJ said.
AJ,
I dont know, okay, I wasnt thinking, Im a screw up, I know that, it was a mistake and Im paying for it, Brizee said as she
got her bags together.
Ill
carry them, AJ said grabbing her bags. He went out the door. She closed the window and locked it. She grabbed her purse and
went out the door. She slowly walked downstairs and almost lost her balance.
She grabbed the wall and stood there. She slowly continued down the stairs and made sure everything was turned off. She went out and saw the guys waiting for her. She locked up the house and went down to the limo.
Got
everything? AJ asked.
Yeah,
Brizee said. AJ helped her into the limo and got in and Nick got in. The limo drove to where the buses were. Kevin, Theresa, Brian, Brittany, and Howie were waiting. They got out.
Which
bus am I riding on? Brizee asked.
Mine,
come on, Nick said. She followed him to the bus. Kevin came up to her.
Briz,
Kevin said.
What,
Brizee said.
You
okay? Kevin asked.
Oh
just peachy, Brizee said.
T
forgave us, me and her are okay, Kevin said.
I
wish I could say the same, Brizee said.
Hell
come around, Kevin said.
No,
he wont, its over for good, I know him, Kevin, I gotta go, Brizee said. She went and got on the bus and sat on the couch.
Nick came up from the back.
You
can have the bed, Ill sleep on the couch, Nick said. Brizee looked at him.
Okay,
Brizee said. She looked at her hands. She went back and laid down on the bed
and stared at the walls. She put her hand on her stomach and felt movement.
Nick!
Brizee called. He came back.
What,
Nick said.
Come
here, you have to feel it, Brizee said. He sat down and put his hand on her stomach. He felt the baby move and looked at her.
The
baby moved, Nick said.
Yes,
its moving, Brizee said. Nick put his ear on her stomach and smiled.
I
can hear it, Nick said.
You
can? Brizee asked.
Yeah,
Nick said. He looked at her. Desire came over him and he kissed her deeply. He laid her on the bed and hovered over her and
kissed her hungrily. She reached up and ran her hands through his hair. His hands went under her shirt and caressed her stomach.
He pulled her shirt off and kissed her neck. His lips moved down to her collarbone and kissed along her collarbone. His hands
caressed her breasts. He pulled the rest of her clothes off and pulled his off
and he gently made love to her. Afterwards, they laid there. Nick pulled her
close.
I
forgive you, Briz, I love you so much, Nick said.
I love you, too, Brizee said kissing his chest and hugging him tight. They fell asleep holding each other.
