CHAPTER 23: Annoying Jesters...

Yawning, Alesha opened the door from her bedroom and stepped into the hall. Opening her eyes, she saw Kevin slipping out of Lori's room. Blinking and rubbing her eyes, she looked again. Sure enough. It was him. In his boxers and nothing else. Shaking her head, she tried not to be noticed, but he had already seen her. His face flushed as he smiled sheepishly at her. She giggled. "I see that you decided to…ummm…stay the night."

He laughed self-consciously. "Umm…yeah. She kind of…well, we…I umm…yeah."

Alesha laughed. "It's okay. We're all adults here," she said and then looked back at her bedroom door. "Well, with the exception of Nick at times."

"Leshangel," Nick called from the bedroom. Kevin's face turned white and he turned around to slip back into Lori's room, but Nick had already caught him. "Kevin!! What ARE you doing?"

"Umm…going to the restroom, but ran into Lesh, and started talking," he said looking at the floor.

"That is NOT what I'm talking about. Did you and Lori…" Nick started, but was soon silenced by Alesha smacking him in the chest. "Oww…what was that for?" His eyes grew wide. "They did!! Hahaha."

"And what is so funny about that?" Alesha asked trying to hide a smile. "It's not as if you haven't before."

"Yeah. But it's Kevin….and Lori," he said trying to stop laughing.

Kevin looked at him and then at Alesha. "I can tell today is going to be a LONG day," he grumbled as he went back into Lori's room.

Alesha looked at Nick and grinned. "I can't believe she did it. Oh my god." Nick was still laughing. Looking at him and shaking her head she said, "Come on. Get back in the bedroom before you wake Lori up."

"Lori is already up. What are you laughing at?" she asked looking at Nick.

Nick tried to talk, but everything came out jumbled as he was running out of oxygen to the brain. Kevin came out of the room, having found his jeans and put them on. "Is he STILL laughing?" Lori looked at him.

"Come ON Nickolas," she said pushing him back in the bedroom. Smiling bigly at Lori and Kevin she shut the door.

"What is wrong with them?" Lori asked.

"I uh…ran into Lesh this morning."

"Okay. But what is…oh my god," she said her face turning red. "Yeah. We're gonna be in for it ALL day. Now that Nick knows."

Lori smiled softly and walked over to him. "Does it bother you?"

"Does what bother me?" he asked wrapping his arms around her and smiling down at her.

"That he knows and is going to tease you the rest of the day about it?"

Kevin shook his head, looking deep into her eyes, and leaned down and kissed her. "GOD…didn't you get enough of that last night?" Nick asked walking out of the bedroom.

The door shut suddenly, and they could hear Alesha giggling uncontrollably on the other side. Nick smiled angelically and walked into the front room leaving Kevin and Lori shaking their heads. "How does he do that?" Lori asked.

"Do what?"

"Show up at just the right…well, not so right…time?"

"Because he's a pain in the ass…and damn good at it."

Lori grinned and kissed him softly. Alesha, her laughter under control, walked out of the bedroom. "Jesus you guys…and you think Nick and I are bad," she said shaking her head and going into the other room."

"And her," Lori said, pointing after Alesha. "She's just as bad as him."

"Yes, yes, she is. No wonder they're so good together." Lori smiled at him and hooked her arm through his. They walked into the front room.

Nick was snuggled up to Alesha on the couch. They were watching cartoons and talking quietly. As soon as Lori and Kevin walked in the room, they stopped talking. Nick looked up at Alesha and grinned. She started giggling.

"Okay," Lori said. "I'm NOT going to put up with this all day. You two are too old to be acting this way."

Nick started laughing and whispered, "She even SOUNDS like him. Hahaha."

"Okay Nick. Knock it off," Kevin growled.

Nick grinned. "But why? Are you embarrassed that you slept with your girlfriend? Does it bother you that I know that you had sex?" Alesha started giggling again and buried her face in the couch pillow.

"No, it does not bother me that you know that I had sex," Kevin said. "But you don't need to be talking about it in front of the girls."

Alesha looked up. "Excuse me? It's not as if we haven't done it before. Besides…we're talking about you having sex with Lori. Why can't she be here when ya'll discuss it?"

"It's not that she can't be…it's just that…I don't…we don't…it's not…"

"Say it Kev," Lori said grinning.

"Grrr."

"So tell me Lori, was he good?"

"NICK!!" Kevin growled, blushing.

Alesha looked at Nick. "Why do you want to know…plan on sleeping with him?"

"Well, ya know…it DOES get lonely on the road and stuff," he said with an evil grin. Kevin just glared at him. Lori and Alesha were laughing.

"Is there something you're not telling me Nickums?" Alesha asked.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that Kevin and I were lovers? I'm sorry baby. Must have slipped my mind." He reached over to hug her but she pulled away.

"How could you not have told me something like that?" Alesha pouted.

He leaned over and kissed her softly. "Baby, I don't want anyone but you," he murmured softly. Smiling at him, she kissed him back, wrapping her arms around him.

"Oh gee, let's see...we get ridiculed for kissing in the hall, and that was all it was, a little peck," Kevin said shaking his head. "But them...they're all slobbering all over each other."

Lori threw a pillow at them. "Get a room. That's disgusting."

Grinning bigly, Nick said, "Well, actually, I was thinking of just doing it right here, so if ya'll don't mind...you can leave now."

"Anyway..." Alesha said shaking her head at him. "What are ya'll planning on doing today?"

Kevin shrugged. "No clue."

"What? Kevin doesn't have any plans already mapped out?" Nick gasped.

"Shut up," Kevin growled at Nick.

Nick looked at him, got up, and stormed into the other room. Alesha looked at Kevin and then at Lori, her eyes wide. "I was...that is, Nick and I...we were kinda wondering if it would be okay if we like hung out by ourselves today. Maybe hook up with all ya'll later tonite."

Lori sensed Alesha's thoughts and nodded. "That's a good idea." Kevin smiled. "If you think I'm gonna kill him, I'm not. I'm use to him. He just gets annoying."

Alesha smiled. "Well, that's part of it. But I'm sure that ya'll wanna be alone and stuff. You guys have a lot to talk about. And not much time left to do it." She smiled and went to check on Nick.

"Ya know," Kevin said. "I'll never understand her. One minute she is super bitch. The next she is an annoying child. Then she turns around and becomes the sweetest person in the world."

Lori laughed. "That's Lesh. That's why I love her."
