"So what do you wanna do?" Nick asked Leigh, as he plopped down onto his bed next to her.
"I don't know. I was thinking..." Leigh stopped, as she kissed him gently on his lips. She giggled and pushed away from Nick.
"What?" Nick asked.
"Have you shaved yet today?" Leigh asked, rubbing her hand against his face. "I guess not."
"What'd I do?" Nick asked.
"It tickled," Leigh said. "Your one-day beard."
"Oh really," Nick asked. He got up and headed towards his bathroom. "I guess I'll just go shave now."
"You were gonna do that anyway, right?" Leigh asked, following him to the bathroom.
"Yeah, you just came here right after I got dressed," Nick said. He got his shaving cream and Leigh grabbed it from him.
"Let me help you," she said. She rubbed the cream all over his lower face. "I've always wanted to do this. Where's your razor?"
Nick handed her the razor and asked, "Should I trust you this much?"
"This much and more," Leigh answered, quickly kissing the tip of his nose. She commenced in shaving his face. She very carefully shaved along the contours. When she was finished she wiped off the extra cream with a towel and put some aftershave on his face.
Nick felt his face and said, "Pretty good for your first time. Of course you're pretty good at everything you try."
Leigh blushed. "Maybe I'm just lucky like that."
"So would you just like to walk from casino to casino today?" Nick asked Leigh.
"I guess, then you can help me pack," Leigh said. "The plane leaves at about nine tomorrow morning."
"Did you want to bring Grayson and I can bring Brian?" Nick asked. "I mean, they should spend the day with their best friends since they are going to be with their significant others for the next couple of months."
"Alrighty," Leigh said. "I'll call Grayson first."
After fifteen minutes, the foursome met in the lobby of their hotel. "Lucky us!" Nick said. "Dallas was going shopping with Vanessa and AJ and Kevin went to work out!"
"Yeah," Brian said. "I didn't know you were coming too," he said to Grayson.
"Same here," Grayson said, smiling slightly. "I guess our best friends don't like to tell us things."
"Yeah, whatever," Nick said. "Gimme a break."
The group first went to the Mirage and saw the white tigers. Next, they went to the shopping forum in Caesar's Palace. Brian bought a box of candy for his mom. Nick bought a teddy bear for Leigh.
"Aww, how sweet," Leigh said. She kissed him on the cheek. "You're all the teddy bear I need though."
"Yeah, that's why your room is covered with these things," Nick laughed.
"So have you been having fun?" Brian asked Grayson as they walked behind Leigh and Nick.
"Yeah it's been really fun," Grayson said. She didn't like feeling uncomfortable around Brian. She wished they could just act normally, but she knew that they had passed over a line that they couldn't ignore or forget.
"So you should tour more with Bone," Brian said. "You could ride on the bus and take his bunk."
"Do you really think that's a good idea," Grayson whispered to Brian.
"Grayson, we have to forget about that!" Brian whispered excitedly.
"Don't you think I'm trying?" Grayson whispered back. "But that's kinda hard."
"Tell me about it," Brian sighed. "I seem to dream about it at night."
"You too?" Grayson asked.
"What are you two whispering about?" Nick asked. "Do you think they are secretly having a passionate affair Leigh?"
"Maybe," Leigh said. "Let's find out." She pointed to a love machine.
Nick went over and punched in "Brian Thomas Littrell" and "Grayson Marie Lawsley". "Look Leigh, they got a 97% rating! They are messing around!"
"Man, just jump to conclusions over a stupid machine," Brian joked, trying to hide his nervousness.
"Yeah, lets put you in," Grayson said.
"I was just about to do that," Nick said, typing in his own name. "What's your middle name Leigh?"
"You don't know her middle name?" Brian asked.
"I never told him," Leigh said. "Can I talk to him for a minute?"
"Yeah, I guess," Brian said. He and Grayson walked a bit away.
"What's up?" Nick asked.
"My middle name is Leigh," she said.
"What?" Nick asked.
"My first name is Jordan," Leigh said. "For obvious reasons I go by my middle name."
"How many people know that?" Nick asked. He was already punching in her name.
"My family and you," Leigh said.
"I'm honored," Nick said, grabbing the results the machine spit out. "Ninty-nine percent!"
"A match made in heaven?" Brian asked, walking back toward the couple.
"Duh," Nick said. "Didn't need a machine to tell me that."
"So I guess this proves that Brian and Grayson have a thang going on," Leigh said.
Grayson blushed and Brian tried to smile. "Sure we do."
