Chapter 8
I stared into the deepest blue eyes that I've ever seen….and his looked back at mine.
"I love you." He said for the umpteenth time tonight.
"I love you too." I replied grinning.
"We're getting married…your gonna be my wife."
"Yup, and your gonna be my husband….I have to stay at my house tonight, I'd better get going before AJ comes and carries me home." I said looking a little disapointed.
"I'll take you home, we can tell him together."
"Wait, you didn't tell him??" I asked.
"Yeah, I did, I asked his permition too. Don't worry your pretty little head off."
"Okay." He grabbed my arms and pulled me up off the couch and we started dancing to the music playing in our heads, we didn't need words, just being together was perfect. He lifted my chin with his forefinger and our eyes locked. He leaned down and gave me a slow sensual kiss.
AJ/My house and hour later-
"AJ??" I yelled. I heard Amanda talking to him in the kitchen, she ran in screeching and I joined in….
"Lemme see, lemme see!!" She screeched, in return I held out my left hand grinning from ear to ear.
"AHHHH!!" She screeched…. "Congradulations!" She said hugging me and then Nick.
"Princess….." AJ said walking out of the kitchen.
"Yes??" I asked, a mischevious grin plastered on my face.
"What might I ask is causing you and my girlfriend to wake the neighbors." He said walking over to me and planting a kiss on my cheek.
"Your gonna make a beautiful bride princess, you really are…congradualtions." He whispered into my ear.
"Thank you" I said in reply. Then we heard the thunder crack and a lightning bolt flash.
"Nick, there's a hurricane warning, we have everything ready, you should stay here tonight, I don't want you driving." Amanda said looking at Nick.
"I was gonna ask to stay anyway…"
"Yeah, and I wouldn't let you drive in that anyway sweetie." I said looking at him.
"Okay, Princess, just get Nick a blanket and he can sleep on the couch." AJ said.
"The couch??? NO!! It's downstairs, I'm not leaving him down here alone!"
"I didn't say which couch, he can take the one in your room." AJ said smiling and then grabbed Amanda's hand as they made their way upstairs.
"I guess we're roomies tonight huh?" He asked looking at me. I nodded my head.
"But don't get ANY ideas buster, your still sleeping on the couch in my room!" He pouted a little before he finally agreed.
~My room an hour later
"Baby?" Nick asked hearing me whimper. I'm extremely afraid of storms, my parents died in one, the plane they were in couldn't fly in the weather and didn't have enough fuel to make it back to the airport, the plane went down just 10 minutes from the airport.
"Nick…." I whispered out his name. He came and crawled into bed with me, grabbing my waist and pulling me against him.
"Baby its okay…I'm here, nothings going to hurt you…..ever again." Nick whispered into my ear, making me somewhat relax, my whimpers turned into slow barely audible sobs and Nick pulled me closer.
"Come on baby, just let it out…I won't let anything hurt you, nothing you hear me?" He whispered. I bobbed my head up and down hoping he didn't want an audible answer, I just couldn't get one out. My sobs slowly subsided into hiccups. Nick kissed my temples, and continued placing soft sweet kisses in my hair and on my cheeks, kissing off the remaining tears.
"I love you baby, it's gonna be okay." He whispered as I drifted off to sleep.
