Never Give Up - Heidi Lis Page 0,15
at her question. Shaking my head, I squint my eyes, as I glare back toward her. “Oh all right,” biting my lip, I slightly hesitate. “It was over the top, fantastic. He was amazingly sweet and knows how to make a girl scream.” Meeting her gaze, I’m silently asking her ‘does that answer your question,’ but all I get is bug eyes.
She mouths the word “wow," before whistling. “My oh my. Now that is what I’m talking about. So are all the cobwebs cleaned out? Five years is a long ass time to go without getting any action. How sore are you, by the way?”
I’m about to open my mouth with a smart ass response when I freeze, realizing we are no longer alone.
“Hello ladies, talking shop are we?” Nick saunters in, grabs a mug and kisses me on the cheek. “Good morning, beautiful.”
Closing my eyes, I breathe him in. My thoughts drift back to last night, even with my mental breakdown, he never once made me feel bad. He never wavered, he stood strong and showed me how much he wanted me. The second time around, he was just as sweet, if not more. I’m a lucky girl.
He must comprehend my daydream, because he lets out a soft laugh. “I am that awesome, aren’t I?”
I’m somewhat shocked at how comfortable I feel around him this morning. Seeing how confident and funny, he is, I accidentally spit out my coffee all over him.
He jumps back, shouting out, “Damn that’s hot.”
Wiping my chin, I can’t help chuckling. “Serves you right, sneaking up on us knowing full well we are most likely talking about you. Just be glad my aim hit your arm and not your johnson.” My eyes leisurely linger down his body.
Liza laughs, holding her belly. “Pip, who the hell says johnson anymore? You are not some old lady, call it what it is, a dick.”
“A ‘large dick’ or ‘johnson’ in Pip’s case.” Nick just has to add in his two cents. It’s funny because he only addresses me by my nickname when Liza’s around.
Horrified with them laughing at me, I decide to leave the room. “Oh God, you both are sick. I’m off to shower.”
Slowly closing the bathroom door, I can hear Liza’s soft voice grilling Nick.
“How was she last night?” Liza’s trying her best to talk softly, but instead, her voice carries rather loudly.
Nick’s voice softens, “She was nervous and upset at first, like I knew she would be. I was patient, took it slow, and had the best night of my life with the girl I’m crazy about.”
I can hear what sounds like a slap on someone’s back. “You’re a good man Nick, not many guys would put up with that shit from a girl.”
Liza’s words sting even though she’s right. What guy would want to sleep with a girl who was crying over another guy when she was naked with him? Yeah, not many.
Sighing, I closed the door to take my shower. While I’m rinsing my hair, an idea hits me. It’s more of a way to symbolize my new life without ever forgetting my past.
Shopping with Liza today, just got a whole lot busier.
An hour later, showered up we’re heading out for our day of shopping. We both got paid yesterday, so we are eager to spend some of our hard-earned money.
Nick left at the same time we did after an awkward goodbye. He grabbed me by my hips, pulled me against him, and crushed his lips to mine to cement last night’s activities. The kiss differed from the one’s he gave me last night. Long gone were the slow, sweet kisses, this kiss was more urgent and compelling. Fisting my hair in a firm grip, his intense gaze pleads to me.
“Don’t forget last night, and don’t you dare forget how much it meant.”
The sincere honesty in his words meant so much. The only thing I wanted to do was reassure him. “Last night was amazing for me, you were amazing. I should be thanking you for being so patient with me, it had to be weird for you.” It hurt admitting this to him.
With a shake of his head, Nick sighed with a one-sided grin. “It was perfect. No regrets. Last night was bigger than just us, I knew that, El. I’m here now, and I’m not going anywhere.”
“Thanks,” I said snuggling into his big arms.
Liza then interrupts our little love fest. “Christ you two, can you maul each other later? Shopping awaits, chop
