Chrissy sat on the top of the stairs in the dark until Howie almost tripped over her.
"So....what happened?" he asked.
"Well, she got mad because I said that I don't really trust them together.....alone."
"Yeah, I know what you mean, but I don't think they will do anything. They are both smart kids."
"Yeah, kids," Chrissy pointed out. "I just......oh, I don't know."
"Come on, I'm sure they'll be fine." He took her hand and led her into the kitchen.
Chrissy sighed, "I hope so."
He poured two glass's of wine.
"What's the special occasion?" Chrissy wanted to know.
"Nothing. I'm just home alone, or almost alone, with a beautful girl. I can think of a place I'd rather be. Wine just makes this time together even more special."
She took a sip of it. "So we're gonna get drunk then have wild and passionate sex?!?"
Howie shrugged his sholders. "I'm up to it if you are!" he smirked.
Chrissy looked through the sliding glass doors that led to the pool, then back at Howie. She got up and started running outside, throwing her clothes off piece by piece.
Howie followed her outside, grinning uncontroly. Thinking she went skinny dipping, he took off all his clothes and jumped in too. When he came back up he saw Chrissy standing on the edge of the pool wearing a skin colored bikini. (Think of Mariah Carey's 'Honey' video.)
"Haha! Sucker!" she teased. She grabbed his clothes.
"Oh no you don't!" he started getting out of the pool, then realized he was naked and sunk back under. "Chrissy! This isn't very funny!" he said through clenced teeth.
"Yes it it!" she laughed.
He groweld at her and she stuck her tounge out at him.

"Nick?" Amy asked while they were in the car.
"Yes?"
"What if we DID do....stuff?" she asked quietly.
"Like I said, only if you want to." Nick answerd sweetly.
"Yeah. I know...." she suddenly let her voice fade out. It was something they both felt uncomfortable to talk about.
After about five minutes of silence it was finally broken when Nick said "How about some ice cream?"
"Huh?" Amy asked. She was too busy thinking about what it would be like if they did do something.
Nick repeated himself.
"Oh, yeah, sure!"
He pulled into an ice cream shop along the beach. Amy began to hop out of the car.
"No let me!" he grabbed the door handle and polietly opened it for her.
"Thanks" She gave him a sweet smile.
He grabbed her hand as they entered the store. Nick ordered their ice creams and Amy sat on a bench.
"Oh no! My watch broke! I don't have any pockets, can I put it in one of yours?"
"Yeah" Nick smiled.
She stuffed her hand into his back pocket. But as she pulled it out, the box of condoms came out with her hand.....
-----------------------------------
Chrissy was sitting on a chair out of Howie's reach. Everytime he would try to get his clothes back she would move. He had been in the pool for over 15 mintues and started shivering. She felt bad, so she handed him a towel.
Once he got out he started chasing her around. He went to grab her arm, but accidently grabbed her bathing suit top and pulled it off.
"Oh my God!" she screamed and quickly turned around. It was dark so she was hidden pretty good.
"I'm so sorry!" he shrieked. He went up to her from behind and ran his hands over her sholders. Her skin was so soft. He pulled her long hair away from her neck then began to kiss her neck and went up to her jawbone.
Their lips met as she slowly turned around. Her arms went around his neck and she kissed him harder. His hands began to travel to her lower back. She realized she was practicly naked so she turned around and put her arms over her chest. Blushing and giggling she ran inside.
-------------------------------------------------
Nick tried to explain but Amy wouldnt let him.
"You did plan on sleeping with me!" she screamed.
"Amy...please." He held her around the waist. "Let me explain."
She crossed her arms and looked away.
"Howie made me bring them. I told him we weren't going to do anything, but he made me bring them anyway. I told you, I will never make you do anything you don't want to." He said almost in a whisper while trying not to make a scene.
She looked at him, trying to see if he was for real. "Sorry."
Nick smiled at put his arm around her. They walked back to the car quietly. The smell of his expensive cologne was like heaven. She got closer to him. Being in his arms was the best feeling she ever had.
------------------------------------------------------
"Thorin?" Brian softly shook her. "We're almost there."
She sat up and rubbed her eyes. "How long have I been asleep?"
"An hour or so." He smiled.
"Why didn't you wake me up? It's not fair that you had to drive the whole way."
"It's alright, you looked so peaceful that I couldn't wake you up. Anyway, you had a rough day. You did really good in court today."
"Thanks. But yeah, it has been a long day. And it was fun being with you. So how long till we get home?"
"Probaly five minutes." Brian stopped to think about what she just said. "You really mean that?"
"Mean what?"
"That you liked spending time with me?" He asked.
"With all my heart." she smiled. Brian leaned over and kissed her softly.
--------------------------------------------------
Chrissy ran into the house and up the stairs. She could still smell Howie's sweet breath on her cheek. She turned the corner in the dark hallway and ran right into something, or someone.
"Oh my God!" she screamed. She soon realized it was Kevin that she had ran into. He turned on the light and she screamed once more. Luckily her long hair went past her sholders.
Kevin turned around. "Um...are you okay?"
"Yea, sorry!" she laughed and ran into the bedroom and started dressing.
------------------------------------------------------
"You live here alone?" Amy asked while walking around Nick's apartment examining it.
"Yeah, but sometimes Brian crash's here, and my brother comes to visit, but most of the time I'm alone. I'm not home much anyway."
"Awww, I'd never want to live alone."
"It was wierd when I moved here, cuz I came from a big family. But I got used to it."
"Your so rich, but you live in a small apartment?" Amy asked, like it had never been done before.
Nick sighed. "I'm a normal guy! And no fans would ever expect I'd live somewhere like this. Like I said, I'm never really home anyway."
"Oh well....I like it."
"Um thanks, I guess," he laughed.
"So where should I put my stuff?"
Nick looked into the spare bedroom. It was full of boxes and a computer. "You can put it in my room I guess. I'll sleep on the couch tonight."
"I don't think so. It's your house, so your sleeping on your bed."
"You sure?" Nick asked sincerly.
"Positive!"
Nick looked at the clock on the wall. "It's almost one o'clock. You tired?"
"No....not really, what about you?"
"Nope! How 'bout we watch a movie?"
"Sure, whatcha got?" Amy asked.
