AJ checked the bedroom just to make sure. ''Hey..... they're not in here''
''That's because they're here'' Kevin whispered.
They tiptoed over to where Kevin was standing and there behind the couch exactly where they had collapsed and made love ....were two cosied up lovers snuggled under the rug from the back of the couch.
The guys simply stared.
Nick slowy opened one eye, saw his 'brothers' and grinned ''Uhm..... hi guys''
AJ..... ever ready with a sarcastic comment ginned back
''What ... so you couldn't make it to the bed!''
''Does it look like we made it to the bed?''
Heather woke...saw the crowd gazing down at them and turned very pink!
Brian rescued her from embarassment.
''C'mon guys turn away ....let the lady make herself decent.''
Nick began to protest ''Hey... what about me?''
''We've seen you naked before Nick... it's nothing to write home
about!''
''Thanks very much!''
They heard Heather whisper something to him and giggle
''You are a digusting woman.....thank goodness!''
There was a squeal and the guys turned in time to see her dissappear into the bedroom..followed by Nick.
Brian smiled
''Thank goodness for that..I thought for one sickening moment he'd fucked it up completely''
AJ slumped on the couch
''Nah...it was never gonna be a problem they're so rapped in each other...nothing is ever gonna split them...especially some freakin' volcano..by the way.......where is she goin'?''
''Cotopaxi''
''What?''
''That's the volcano..Cotopaxi...it's in Ecuador!''
''I knew that!''
Brian grinned at AJ
''Sure you did!''
The couple emerged fully clothed...holding hands.. smiling
''Will you two stop it with the googoo eyes please...
I'm just about to have lunch and I may throw up!''
Kevin wrapped his arm around AJ as they left the room
''You're just jelous Bone''
''Of course I am doesn't she have any photographer friends?''
Nick held Heathers hand tightly as they strolled through the hotel gardens after lunch... alone at last.
''What time is the party starting?''
''Anytime I guess...probably about five......and it'll finish about sixteen hours later!''
''That only gives me four hours to get ready!''
''Four hours! why do you need four hours''
''You don't think I can look good with ten minutes effort do you...?''
''No time at all actually''
''Nick..''
''Honestly ....honey I've seen you first thing in the morning and you are stunning.....I mean it babe!''
she blushed,
Nick stopped and pulled her into his arms
''Let's get married before you leave...please?''
Heather gazed into his eyes...she would love that. ''Nick we can't..''
''Why not?...it would be easy''
''And rushed.....you'd like it to be special wouldn't you ?..I know I would''
''Yeah you're right..... sorry...I guess I just want that wedding band on your finger as soon as possible''
''Believe me Nick..so do I''
Heather slid her fingers into his blond hair loving it's silky feel
She gently coaxed him into a kiss ...
he tried to resist ..to tease himself...enjoy the anticipation for as long as he could...
Heather sensed that as always and made sure the sensation of her lips touching his delivered exactly what he wanted ...a tingle down his spine....and a hunger in his belly!
He felt her tongue and seized her waist hard wrapping his arms right around her
so she could not escape...
then he took control and pushed his tongue deep into her mouth.
People passed them by and smiled....but nothing stopped them.
Nick eventually broke the kiss and buried his face in her hair
He didn't speak because he knew he would beg her not to go.
Heather didn't speak because she knew she would cry.
After several minutes they dared to look into each others eyes...
''I'd better go get ready....I've still some packing to do''
''Yeah okay....I probably have too....we leave Sunday...early''
''Where are you going first?''
''Not too sure ...Paris I think...''
''That's nice I've always wanted to go there''
Nick bit his lip to stop himself from saying the obvious.
They both realised they were making awkward smalltalk and what they needed to do was go to their separate rooms and throw up in private.
In silence Nick escorted Heather to her floor.
He stayed in the elvator but held the door..they were alone
Heather stepped out and turned...
''I'll pick you up at six..will that be okay...?''
''Yes...thanks''
She turned to walk away
''Oh and honey...''
Heather spun around to see that delicious sexy smile of his
''Wear 'that dress' for me.....please!''
She nodded and smiled at him as the doors closed.
Heather took a deep breath...struggled with the key in the door...raced into her bathroom and threw up.
Nick could barely control his tears...he strode down the corridor thrust the key into the lock..raced into his bathroom and slammed the door behind him.
It took Heather an hour to calm herself down... if this was how badly she was coping now what ever would she be like at the airport...
''It would be better if I went alone...I hate goodbyes anyway...''
She decided that she would convince Nick to let her go to the airport alone ..they would do the goodbye scene at the hotel.
It would be easier for both of them!
''Damn it.. who am I trying to fool?..this is never going to be easy...just forget it for now.. get ready!..... just get ready!''
Heather wanted to look special tonight ..she wanted to dazzle him..
She realised they had one more night after this but that night, would be their last for a while and it was highly possible that they would spend it in tears...she knew she would.
For a moment she considered spending tomorrow night alone in her own room but the thought of severing contact with Nick earlier than she needed to tugged at her insides
and made her feel sick again!
Up a few floors... Nick sat on the edge of his bed...their bed...staring blankly at the wardrobe.......
He turned and reached for the pillow beside his own ...it smelled of her....maybe he could keep it...no-one would know.
He'd already planned to keep a silk slip he'd managed to hide from her.
She hadn't missed it so far.....
He held the pillow to his face and inhaled deeply and he thanked the bed fairies for leaving the room undisturbed as requested.
Nick wasn't looking forward to tomorrow...or the day after especially the airport..
His mind raced with all manner of devious ideas to delay the flight..some of them illegal!
But he decided that tonight would be wonderful..... then tomorrow would be the most romantic day he could create and then he would psych himself up for the parting.
He sighed, stood up and walked to the bathroom shedding clothes as he went...
As he stepped into the shower he let the soothing water flow over his body and imagined it was Heathers' fingers teasing him.....
His erection did not surprise him..there was hardly a moment these days when it was absent...he could always feel it threatening to grow.....
whenever he heard her voice, or caught her scent as she passed near by
He'd felt it that first day.... as she fixed his hair... a deep ache in his balls
an embarassing bulge in his pants...cleverly hidden but hard to ignore.
He considered jerking off to relieve the pain...exquisite as it was....but thought better of it...
''Save it for her Nicky.....save it for that sexy bitch you're gonna marry''
Nick smiled to himself and took a hold of his throbbing 'buddy' tugging it gently as if to reassure it... and himself.
An hour later he was at Heathers' door.
For some reason his heart was pounding harder than usual!
The door opened and there she was in front of him looking more beautiful than his mind could bear!
Heather could hardly breathe herself...
Nick was already the most gorgeous guy she'dever laid eyes on but tonight ..........he looked incredible!
They stood for a long time ...mesmerised.... as if they were frozen
In fact frost wouldn't stand a chance anywhere near these two tonight!
