That night, Brizee
and Nick laid in bed, holding each other. Nick kissed her neck.
I love you, so much, Brizee said.
I love you, too, baby, Nick said.
I love being in your arms, Brizee said.
I love having you in my arms, Nick said.
I dont ever want to lose you, Brizee said.
I dont want to lose you either, Nick said.
I am never leaving you again, Brizee said looking up at him.
I am never leaving you either, Nick said. He kissed her hungrily. He laid on top
of her and ran his hands down her body.
Nicky, not here, remember what my dad said, Brizee said softly as Nick kissed her
softly.
We can be very quiet, Nick whispered.
He could walk in, Brizee said softly. Nick got up and locked the door and laid back
on top of her.
Now he cant, Nick said kissing her neck. He turned the stereo on low and turned it
up a little. He pulled off her nightgown. She pushed his boxers off and they
made love quietly. Afterwards, they fell asleep holding each other.
The next morning,
Brizee woke up and saw Nick still sleeping. She slid his boxers on him while he slept. She lightly kissed his cheek and got
up and turned off the stereo. She looked at Nick and saw him still sleeping. She got dressed and went downstairs.
Hi honey, Jackie said kissing Brizees cheek.
Hi Mom, Brizee said sitting at the table.
How are you this morning, Jackie said.
Im good, glad to wake up in Nicks arms again, Brizee said staring out back.
Brizee, did you and Nick, you know? Jackie said.
Mom! Brizee said quietly as she blushed.
You cant hide anything from me, you heard what your father said, Jackie said.
I know, please dont tell him, Brizee said.
Morning, Harold JR said coming into the kitchen.
Hi Harold, Jackie said hugging him.
Sorry I didnt join the tour as I said I was, I just got busy, Harold JR said.
Its okay, honey, Jackie said.
Hi Brizee, Harold JR said.
Hi bro, Brizee said.
I like that, Harold JR said hugging her.
Get used to it, Brizee said.
I will, Harold JR said. Brian and Kevin came into the kitchen.
Morning everyone, Brian said hugging Jackie.
Morning, Brizee said.
Morning, baby duck, Jackie said hugging Brian back.
Morning all, Kevin said.
Morning, Kev, Brizee said.
Morning, Kevin, Jackie said hugging him.
They sat down
at the table with Brizee.
Brizee, today is the big day, all the family is getting together, are you ready,
Jackie said.
I have to meet them sometime, Brizee said.
Okay, Jackie said.
That afternoon,
Brizee, Nick, Brian, Brittany, Kevin, Theresa, Howie, AJ, Jackie, Harold JR, and Harold SR went to the park where everyone
was getting together. Brizee saw a huge crowd.
Oh my, I got a huge family, Brizee said softly.
Yup, Nick said pulling her close to him. She
pulled him away.
Nicky, Im scared, I mean, what if no one likes me, what if some of them dont like
me, Brizee said.
Briz, you are a part of this family, you are a Littrell, no one will dislike you,
one thing I know about this family, everyone loves each other, and likes each other, Nick said. Brizee hugged him.
I love you so much, Brizee said.
I love you, too, Nick said.
Come on, baby, Brizee said. She held Nicks hand and they went to see the family.
Everyone was talking. Jackie came over to her.
Honey, you okay? Jackie said.
Im so nervous, Brizee said. Nick squeezed her hand.
Itll be okay, baby, Nick said.
Everyone, could I have your attention? Jackie called. Everyone looked at them.
Thank you, everyone, I would like you to meet my daughter, Brizee, who was taken
from us when she was a baby, she is back in the family again, Jackie said smiling. Brizee waved and smiled shyly.
Hold it! a voice said. Brizee looked around and saw the guy she went out with in
LA come forward.
Oh no, Brizee said.
Briz, Nick said.
You! the guy said.
What, Nick said.
What are you doing here, Brizee said.
Briz, you know him, Nick said.
I came with my best friend, hes a part of this family, the guy said.
Hes the guy I went out with in LA, Brizee said softly.
Ha, more like your one night stand, the guy said.
Mark, Brian said.
Hey man! Mark said.
You had a one night stand with my sister? Brian asked coming up behind them.
Yeah, I did, shes telling everyone that it was dinner and a kiss, but it was a one
night stand, Mark said. Brian looked at Brizee.
Is this true, Brian said. Brizee looked at Nick. He looked at her with anger. Brizee
looked at Brian and slowly nodded. Nick walked off. Brizee ran after him.
Nick, please! Brizee said.
Leave me alone, we are so over, Nick said angrily.
Nick, it didnt mean anything! Brizee cried.
You slept with someone else, you cheated on me! And you lied to me! We are over,
you understand, you stay away from me! Nick yelled. He got into his rental car and drove off.
Brizee sank to the ground and cried. Brittany and Theresa came up to her. Kevin, Howie, AJ, and Brian were behind them.
Brian knelt down beside her. She looked at him.
Briz, why, Brian said.
I was drunk, but thats no excuse, I lost him, Brian, I lost my soulmate! Brizee said
crying. Brian hugged her close. Mark came up to them.
Uh, Brian, Mark said. Brian looked at him.
Go away, Mark, Brian said.
I just wanted to say Im sorry, it was my fault, I knew she was drunk, I took advantage
of her, Im sorry, Brizee, Mark said. Brian got up and jumped him and started punching him. Kevin and AJ pulled him off.
You bastard, you stay away from my sister! Brian yelled. Mark nodded and walked off. Brian sat there holding Brizee as she cried.
