» CHAPTER FIVE «

"What are you doing?" Nick asked Rita when he found her cleaning the living room. Rita pushed her hair from covering her eyes and looked at Nick.

"My parents are coming over tomorrow for dinner,, which means my dad as well," Rita answered.

"Your dad?" Nick asked just to make sure he was hearing right. Rita nodded and continued to dust.

Nick groaned. Rita's dad could not stand him. Ever since they had first met, the reason being the first time they met was when Rita's dad had came home early and caught the two in Rita's bedroom making out. Rita was the youngest in a family of 5, which meant she was her "daddy's little princess." Michael, Rita's dad was very protective of his little girl, which meant when it came to Rita's social life and guys he was not only very uptight but very strict. But now that Rita was 19 years old his opinion and say did not really matter to her. That and plus Nick and her were together for three years despite the problems it caused so there was no stopping their relationship now.

"Don't worry about it," Rita tried reassuring Nick.

"I am not worried," Nick lied.

Rita sat down on top of his lap and kissed him. "Yes, you are. I know you as if you were me," she said.

"Okay okay, but come on. You know how your dad feels about me. And then to top it all off he is an Army General. He could kill me and probably get away with it too!" Nick thought outloud.

Rita giggled. "He is not going to kill you. He wouldn't stoop that low. And even if he wanted to kill you I wouldn't let him. He would have to kill me first. Kinda like some Shakespearean play or something," she said.

"Oh sure that would be very romantic," Nick sarcastically said playing around. "Us both dying for our love for each other".

Rita gently hit him on his head. "That shows how much you love me. You rather live than be with me in heaven."

Nick pretended to think for a minute. "Well yeah. I can always find another girl for me."

"That's it," Rita exclaimed. "You have been hanging around Brian too much. You are sounding just like him, conceited and annoying. That boy is a bad influence on my Nicky."

"No! Do not call me that, not even joking. I hate that nickname, it sounds gay," Nick said. Rita laughed knowing that but she still called him that from time to time just to bother him.

"Well, then tell me I am the only one for you and you would die for me if you had to," she told Nick.

"You know I would. Without a doubt I would die for you. I tell you that everyday. I love you to death and I will do anything just to be with you," Nick said ending the playful mood.

"I love you too Nick," Rita whispered.

As the two kissed, Nick then realized and decided to make the biggest decision of his life.
