Chapter Twenty Seven

Nick sighed and sat down on his bed, there was a knock at the door and he got up to open it.

"How'd it go man?" Brian asked.

"Did it work? Did you tell her?" AJ prodded.

"What did she say?" Kevin questioned.

"How was the plan? Did it run smoothly?" Howie finally asked. They all turned to look at him. "What?" He asked. They all sighed and Nick turned and sat back down on the bed. The guys looked around.

"Is she here?" Brian asked.

Nick shook his head and sighed.

"Come on Nick, what happened? Don't keep us in suspense." AJ whined. They all came and sat down next to him.

"Well the plan worked and I was finally able to apologize to her."

Howie grinned triumphantly. "I knew it'd work!"

Nick rolled his eyes, "Well we talked finally and that's about it."

AJ's eyes widened, "So what'd she say? I mean come on man, you're holding out on us. You're never so secretive when it comes to women."

Nick rubbed at his neck. AJ was right, he usually liked to brag about the women that he was with, but he didn't feel right doing that with Alecia. She was different. "There's nothing else to say really. She just well...I mean I think she forgives me. I mean...I think she..."

"Nick...did...did something happen?" Kevin guessed.

"Uhh...n-no, why would you say that?" He looked up to find all four of them staring at him. He bit his lip and looked down.

"Nick man you did, didn't you!" Brian exclaimed.

Nick rubbed at his eyes and sighed.

"Whoa! I guess that plan really worked! Damn!" Howie whispered. AJ smacked him and turned back to Nick.

"So it...happened huh." AJ whispered.

"Yeah...that wasn't my intention, but it just...I couldn't help myself. I've never wanted anyone the way I want her. No other woman gets to me the way she does. All I could think about last night was god please don't let me hurt her. Don't let her hate me in the morning. I don't think I could stand it."

"Well what did happen this morning? Does she hate you?" Brian asked.

"I don't know, she was cool about it. I know it's bothering her. She feels like she was just another one of my flings."

"Well isn't that all it was?" Kevin asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No man! It was more than that, she's more to me than that."

"Well did you tell her this?" Howie questioned.

"Finally something worth listening to from you." AJ gasped.

"Shut up!" Howie called, smacking AJ in the head.

"Oh you're gonna pay for that one!" AJ yelled.

"Cut it out!" Kevin grated out. There was silence. "So did you tell her?"

"No, I didn't think it was right. And she was so upset and she just left before you got here and I didn't want to make her mad so I just..."

"Calm down man." Brian interrupted him.

"I just don't know. I mean, if she doesn't feel the same way I do then..."

"Well you'll never know unless you tell her." Howie reasoned.

"He's right Nick." Kevin agreed.

"Yeah I know. I guess I should tell her then."

"Good. Alright, we're leaving so you can get dressed. Let us know how it goes ok. Come on guys, out." Kevin ordered.

There were moans and groans and they all eventually left, leaving Nick to get ready to make the biggest confession in his life.

Alecia opened the door.

"So why'd you need all of us here at ten in the morning? I'm exhausted!" April moaned.

Alecia walked over and sat on the bed.

"CeCe, what's wrong?" Michelle asked. She didn't answer.

"Alecia, I know you didn't call us over here for nothing, now what's wrong?" Kris asked again.

"CeCe!!" April all but yelled.

"Something happened."

"Huh? What happened?" Michelle inquired.

"Does this have to do with you mentioning how you talked with Nick last night?" Kris questioned.

"Umm...yeah."

"Well..." April probed.

"We...talked."

"That's it?" Michelle raised her eyebrows.

"Well...yeah...I guess."

"You guess? How can you not know if something else happened. Either it did or it didn't." April reasoned.

"I mean we were talking and he apologized for what happened and you know...stuff."

"Oh, well that's a good thing right? Did you say you forgave him?" Kris inquired.

"Well...kinda...not in so many words."

"Oh stop with the damn backwards answers!! What happened!?" April yelled.

Alecia slowly lifted her head and looked at them sadly.

"Oh my..." Kris whispered.

"CeCe, did you..." Michelle wandered off.

"Woo hoo! CeCe got some action!! Go girl!" April squealed.

"April please! Can you control yourself for once!" Michelle scolded. April quieted down but winked at Alecia. "So what...I mean...I thought you..." Michelle continued.

"Yeah I know. I hadn't meant for that to happen. But I just couldn't help myself. He was so sweet and he did everything right. He made me feel special."

"Wow!" Kris sighed.

"How do you feel?" Michelle inquired.

"How do I...feel? What do you mean?"

"How do you feel about him CeCe?" Michelle sighed.

"Oh...I don't know. I mean, I...he...he's, nice."

"That's it! You think he's nice!" April gasped.

"What am I supposed to say?"

"Alecia you can't share something like that and just think he's nice. That would make you just as bad as him." Michelle explained.

"But I didn't want this! Ok, I wasn't trying to get him into bed with me! That's the difference."

"But you did it didn't you. It's like you're denying your feelings for him." April commented.

"There's nothing to deny! He's...I mean I guess he's my friend."

"Oh so you sleep with all your friends?" April muttered.

"No I don't sleep with all my friends! Gross, that means I'd be sleeping with you guys! Ewwww!" Alecia laughed. They all busted out laughing.

"But seriously, how do you feel about him?" Kris questioned.

"He's my friend and that's it. Last night was nice, but it won't happen again. I'm gonna make sure of that."

They all looked at Alecia and sighed.
