Sunday Driving

"Mmmm...that was so yummy..." Brian patted his belly contentedly.
"Whatcha wanna do now?" Becca asked putting her plate in the sink.
"I wanna stay here..." Cassidy yawned.
"I don't mind...whatever you want to do.." Brian replied sweetly.
"I want to go for a drive around..." Becca said.
"Ok...nothin' like Sunday driving...." Brian kissed the top of Becca's head.
"Are you two purposely trying to sound like an old fogey couple or what?" Cassidy laughed.
"Shutup Cass...you ready to go?" Beca poked her tongue at Cassidy.
"Yup lets go..." Brian passed Becca her keys and they exited the room, waving goodbye to Nick and Cassidy who were still sitting at the table feeding each other pasta.

"Ok where do you wanna go?" Brian asked Becca as she backed out and headed down the street.
"I don't know...just cruise I guess...I wanna see come parts of the city that I haven't seen yet..." Becca smiled turning right.

"Well....now that the fogey couple are out on their Sunday drive...what exciting stuff are we gonna get up to?" Cassidy said putt her and Nick’s plates in the sink and returning to the table, straddling Nick's lap.
"Hmm....exciting....exciting..." Nick thought.
He looked over at the wading pool and then back at Cassidy.
".....skinny dipping in the wading pool..." He suggested with a small grin.
Cassidy looked shocked. "It's out on the balcony!!"
"Yeah...?" Nick grinned.
"No!" Cassidy laughed.
"Ok, ok...." Nick said kissing Cassidy's neck.

Brian ran his hand up Becca's thigh as they drove along.
Becca laughed. "Stop being so distracting..."
"What...?" Brian played innocent.
"Where do you wanna go?" Becca asked, trying to focus on the road.
"Hmm..." Brian thought for a moment.
"Oh I know! Turn right up here..." Brian grinned.
"Where are we going..." Becca asked.
"You'll see..."

"See...isn't this nice?" Cassidy grinned as Nick and her sipped champagne in the wading pool....in their bathers.
"Yeah....who need skinny dipping..." Nick replied sarcastically.
"Strawberry?" Cassidy said putting one in her mouth and offering one to Nick.
Nick grinned and pulled her over to him. He kissed her, gently rolling his tongue inside her mouth and sucking some on the strawberry into his own mouth. He broke the kiss and swallowed, smiling at Cassidy who raised her eyebrows.
“Well I guess you did want some strawberry huh?” She laughed.
“Mmm....I want some more...” Nick said kissing her again.

“Hey cool! What is this place...?” Becca asked as they walked into a small basketball stadium where there was a game being played, cheered on by a small crowd.
“This is where they play the local league.....on a Sunday afternoon....we used to come down and watch all the time....when we first moved here...” Brian said as him and Becca took their seats in the bleachers.
“You’re talking like it was another lifetime ago!!” Becca laughed.
Brian shrugged. “When you think about it.....it was....” He looked at Becca.
“How do you mean?” She replied confused.
“I don’t know......like, it was after Lou had signed us all up....we were nobodies. God, I knew nothing back then....I was living in this dream world.....all I wanted to do was sing....here I was, this country bumpkin virgin in this big town where no one knew my name, with a manager that was basically making me and the others work on slave labor.....just five guys trying to fufill what we thought was our destiny...” Brian shook his head in amazement.
“And now...” Becca replied mesmorised.
“Now.......I am trying to decide if we are the same five guys and the entire world has changed around us....or if we have changed into different people......nothing’s certain except for the fact that, whatever way it is....it can never go back....” Brian trailed off.
“Would you ever want it to?” Becca whispered.
“Not in a million years....” Brian grinned ruefully.
“What? The whole ‘country bumpkin virgin’ look just wasn’t happening for you??” Becca laughed.
“Nah.....it wasn’t a particularly good look..” Brian smiled and wrapped his arms around Becca as he explained the finer points of the game going on in front of them.

“You got the job!!! That’s great!!!” AJ smiled into the phone.
“Yeah....” Emma’s voice trailed off the other end.
“What’s wrong Em??” AJ asked worriedly.
“I dunno....I guess I’m a little...uhh..scared..” She laughed a little.
“Emma! When I first met you....you told me that you wanted this job, and you wanted to be a marine biologist more than anything in the world....now you’ve done it!! But you gotta take that first step in the water baby!” AJ encouraged.
“You’re right...” Emma admitted.
“True...” AJ replied.
“You’re so full of shit Mclean...” Emma laughed.
“True again...” AJ laughed.
“Hey AJ?”
“Yeah...”
“Thanks for being a really good friend...”
“You’re welcome...” AJ smiled.
“Well I’d better get going....I’ve gotta start getting all my stuff packed up..” Emma said.
“I can come around and help you if you like?” AJ offered.
“That’d be great....” Emma replied.
“Ok see you soon..” AJ said as he hung up the phone.

“Becca’s gonna kick our butts for eating all her strawberries...” Nick looked at the two empty plastic punnets by the side of the wading pool.
“I plan to blame you...” Cassidy laughed evilly.
“Thanks, that’s really sweet of you...” Nick rolled his eyes laughing.
“Damn this is good weather.....” Cassidy stretched her arms as the warm sun glowed on her skin.
“Don’t get used to it.....it is going to be absolutely freezing in Europe....” Nick informed her.
“Yeah.....me and Becca went to Europe when we were in school......I can’t wait to go back...” Cassidy replied excitedly.
“I can’t wait for you to come on tour......” Nick ran his fingers lovingly through Cassidy’s hair.
“You think that I’d let you outta my sight for two months? Good luck...” Cassidy smiled and kissed Nick’s soft lips.
“Come on...lets get out...it’s getting too dark..” Nick said standing and stepping out of the wading pool.
“Ok...” Cassidy did the same and reached for her towel.

“We’d better get going....it’s starting to get dark....” Brian said after the game had finished.
“Oooo.....what time did your mum say you had to be home??” Becca teased.
“Shutup! Fine...where do you wanna go then?” Brian laughed.
“Lets just go home...” Becca said sliding her hand in the back pocket of Brian’s jeans.
“Hmmm....your place or mine...?” Brian squeezed his arm around her tight.
“Yours....” Becca replied as they approached the car.

“I’m gonna have a shower.....shit..can you get the phone Nick??” Cassidy called from the bathroom as the phone rang.
“Yah sure...” Nick’s reply came.
“Thanks...”

“Hello...” Nick said into the receiver.
“Hey Nick...umm can you put Cass on the phone?” Rebecca replied.
“Well...umm...she’s kinda in the shower at the moment, but I can take a message...or I could just go in there and...” Nick suggested hopefully.
“I don’t think that’s necessary......just tell her I’m staying over Brian’s tonight ok?” Becca smiled.
“Oooo....ok...” Nick replied grinning.
“Don’t even start Nick..” Becca rolled her eyes.
“You know I’m just joking with you girl...have a good night...” Nick smiled.
“I will, you too...not too much fun though...” Becca warned.
“Whatever Bec....bye...”
“Bye...”

Becca hung up the phone and replaced it on Brian’s wall.
“Cassidy ok with it?” Brian asked wrapping his arms around Becca’s waist.
“Um...she was in the shower...Nick picked up..” Becca grinned.
“I’m surprised he wasn’t in the shower with her...” Brian laughed.
“Oh he wished he was!!” Becca replied.
“Anyway...where were we?” Brian grinned kissing Becca’s neck.
“Mmmm....I think we were about to play scrabble....”
“What??” Brian looked up.
Becca laughed at his facial expression. “I’m joking...”
“I knew that...” Brian played it cool.
“Sure baby...actually, do you mind if I have a shower?”
“If I can join you...” Brian grinned devilishly.
“I was counting on it...” Becca winked and headed upstairs.

“Cassidy.....Becca called and...” Nick called from the outside of the bathroom door.
“What Nick? I can’t hear you...” Cassidy said as she did her bra up and reached for her shirt.
“I just said, Becca rang....” Nick opened the bathroom door. “Oops...sorry...” Nick grinned as Cassidy rolled her shirt up and prepared to place it over her head.
“Nick it’s ok...I’m sure you’ve seen a bra before...” Cassidy laughed and slipped her shirt on.
“What did Becca say?” Cassidy asked as she walked into her bedroom, say down on her bed and began to brush her hair.
“She’s staying at Brian’s tonight...” Nick watched her intrigued as she slowly brushed her long golden hair.
“Oh ok.....what??” Cassidy laughed at Nick staring at her.
“Can I...umm...do that?” Nick asked timidly.
“What? Brush my hair?” Cassidy asked.
“Yeah...” Nick smiled.
“Sure...” Cassidy said handing Nick her brush . She sat on the floor as Nick sat behind her on the bed.
“Be gentle...” Cassidy instructed as Nick slowly began to brush her hair.
“Ok....” Nick tenderly brushed Cassidy’s hair as they talked about anything and everything. After a little while Cassidy yawned.
“Mmmm....this is making me sleepy...” She yawned again.
“Yeah well I’d better be going I suppose...” Nick placing Cassidy’s brush on her bedside table.
“You wanna...uhh...stay? I really don’t like being in the house alone...” Cassidy said patting the bed beside her.
“Sure....” Nick said kissing her forehead.
“Night Nick...” Cassidy said snuggling closer to Nick.
“Night Cassidy...” Nick wrapped his arms around Cassidy as she closed her eyes.
