*~*~*Two years later~*~*~
Nicole sat up in her bed looking at the alarm clock which read 8:14am. She was going to meet Nick at ten so she figured that she had better get moving so that she could at least get things started. Her mother had gone away on bussiness so she had the place all to herself and that was nice considering that today was her 18th birthday.
Today she was now considered an adult, something that she had been waiting for this for a while. She didn't know what Nick had planned for her but she knew that it had to be something amazing, Nick never let her down when it came to surprising her. That man was full of surprises.
Nicole got up and headed over to her closet to get something to wear after she came out of the shower when her phone rang. She sighed and went to answer it.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Hey baby! It's Nick!"
"Hey Nick, hows it hanging?"
"Alright, so are we still on for later?"
"Of course we are baby. What else do I have to do?"
"Great, well I'll see you at ten then?"
"Yep, and Nick."
"Yes?"
"Don't be late!" she joked.
"Don't worry, I won't! C-ya then."
"Yeah, bye," she said and hung up the phone. Over these past two years Nicole and Nick had fallen head-over-heals in love. The only thing about their relationship that bothered Nicole was that he was never around because of the group and all. He was always touring and wasn't there for a lot of things.
She knew how much his music meant to him so she never complained, she just lived with it. Thats how much she loved him and today was there day and no one or nothing will take that away from them, Nicole wouldn't let that happen. No way, she had waited too long for this and she wasn't going to give him up without a fight. When she finished her shower and got dressed, it was already 9:30.
"Geez, I was in there for a while," Nicole said to herself, but she didn't care, it wasn't like she had anything to do until Nick got there, and as long as she was ready by the time he got there, she didn't care.
~*~*~*Ten o'clock~*~*~
At ten on the dot she heard her door bell ring, she got off the couch and ran to get it. She hadn't seen Nick in four months and she couldn't wait to see him. When she reached the door she opened it and Nick stood there with roses for Nicole.
"Happy 18th Birthday!" he said smiling and then handed her the roses, "These are for you."
"Thank you!" she said and kissed him on the cheek.
"What? Thats it? Thats my whole kiss?" Nick joked. Nicole smiled at him and didn't answer. She went into the kitchen and put the roses in some water and smiled to herself.
"Well?"
"Well what?" Nicole asked.
"You still didn't get me that 'today I'm an adult so kiss my ass' kiss yet and I want it!!" Nicole laughed at him and smiled. She walked over to Nick, pushed him on the couch and climbed on top of him and kissed him like she had never kissed him before. The passion and intensity in the kiss totally blew him away.
"Happy?" she asked when she pulled away.
"Very."
"Good I'm glad."
"Well Mrs. Thang, what do you want to do?" Nick asked, Mrs. Thang was a nickname that Nick had started calling her when she went on tour with him and the guys one time and she seemed to be able to do and deal with a lot that came her way so Nick figured what the hell.
"I don't know. I don't care."
"Really now?"
"Yeah why? What did you have in mind?" she said seductively, she loved messing with him like that. He knew that so sometimes he would play along with her little game.
"I don't know, but you do have this place all to yourself for the rest of the week, I thought you might be feeling lonely and in need of a little love from your baby Nicky."
"Oh really?"
"Uh-huh," he said kissing her. Nick decided that he wanted a little more control so he flipped them over so that he was on top.
"What do you think your doing?" Nicole asked pulling away from Nicks kiss.
"Taking control babe."
"Control of what? Got off of me," she said seriously.
"Why whats wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing just get off of me."
"What if I don't want to."
"I don't care if you don't want to, just get the hell off me."
"Fine, you don't have to get all bitchy about it," Nick said getting off of her.
"Sorry Nick, but I don't trust you on top of me like that."
"Oh, and why not?"
"Because I don't know whats going on in that dirty little mind of yours Nicky," she said putting her hand on his head.
"Shut up," he said smiling.
"You know you love it," she said winking at him.
"Your too much Nicole."
"Too much what? Woman for you to handle?"
"No I can handle you, but you can you handle me?" Nick and Nicole always goofed with each other. It was how they showed their love. They never meant anything by it.
"I can handle anything you throw my way," Nicole said.
"Oh really?" Nick said the same look appeared across his face that always did when he was about to cause some trouble.
"Yeah, are you planning on causing trouble?"
"Maybe I am, maybe I'm not."
"Carter, I know that look!"
"What look?" Nick said giving her the same look.
"That look," she said laughing. Nick leaned in and kissed her again. She put her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.
