"So.. you and Nina.. is it getting serious ?" I look at Nick who is standing beside me.. we are watching the girls play in the grass with Marshall's puppies.

A small warm smile spread on his lips. "I believe that it is.. I mean look at her.. she is amazing.. and I am not talking about her looks, even though she is stunning.. but she is sweet and loving and smart".

"Oh damn you are in deep my friend.. so I am guessing it's just a matter of time and you'll be out of here.. doing the marriage and family thing". I watch her snuggle a puppy.. honestly her and Nick are a perfect couple.

"Afraid to be left alone ?" He glance at me. "Nothing is certain yet.. I am not sure what she is ready for.. after all she live far away.. and well maybe we'll stay here, build a small house down by the river".

I can't help smiling. "That would be awesome.. I'll be happy to give you a piece of land there".

"Seems even the ice queen likes puppies.. Marshall better watch out she don't eat them". Nick nods towards Pilar.

"Nick ! She actually isn't that cold". I know she has been a bit cold toward especially Nick, but he is such a drama queen. "I mean look at her with the puppies.. she hides a warm heart.. and I know she is everything but cold".

He turns to stare at me. "Uhm Zac.. are you.. with her ?"

"What ?" Shit I overspoke. "No.. no no.. I meant I have talked to her.. I've seen her dance.. she has passionate moved.. and with the puppies.. no one cold loves puppies",

"Sure.. dancing and puppies". He wink at me. "So you've been humping the ice queen .. just to try it or ?"

I shake my head. "It never happened okay.. we had a close.. call like a week ago.. kept getting interrupted and we decided it was not meant to be.. but that woman.. oh wow no ice queen there".

"I believe you.. mostly because just thinking of it gives you half a boner.. she must have been something". He say grinning like an idiot.

Whoops.. what can I say, the memories are still quite vivid. "Oh she is".

"So.. regretting you didn't nail her ?" He sounds curious now.

"Nailed her.. seriously did you say nailed her.. she ain't a picture Nick". I shake my head. "And well.. yes and no.. I mean I am sure it would have been spectacular.. but I think it would have ended up a right mess.. so mostly no".

He rub his neck. "Me and Nina.. we haven't you know.. yet".

"You haven't ?" I look at him. "Any particular reason ?"

"It just.. haven't felt right.. and I really like her I don't wanna pressure her". He is watching her, that little warm smile back on his lips.

I can't help smiling. "Sounds very sensible".

*Nick*
"So.. what are we going to do until the other get their asses over here ?" I sit down on the couch in the film room. We are having another film night and me and Nina are the first here, so we get the couch.

"What about snuggling ?" She grins and kinda jump me, pushing me over on the couch, placing her almost on top of me.

I wind my arms around her waist, feeling her giggle. "That sound like an amazing idea.. may I suggest to ad some kissing ?"

"Kissing sounds good.. actually kissing sounds amazing.. I'd love some kissing". She say softly, her hand coming up to caress my face.

"Whatever my princess wants". I mumble, slipping my hand around her neck and gently pulling her down for a heated kiss.

I am very much aware that with each kiss my body reacts more.. she is special to me and I am willing to wait till whenever she is ready.. but well I would not be turning her down.. no way.

We break apart, sort of.. her lips kind of resting against the corner of my mouth and she half whisper, half breathes the words against my skin. "Te amo".

I do not claim to speak spanish, but that I do know what means and the butterflies in my stomach and chest go absolutely bonkers, making me pull her closer. "I.. I love you too".

"You do ?" She look up at me. "I.. I didn't mean to say it.. it slipped.. you don't need to say it back because you feel you need to".

"Darling.. I would never say that unless I meant it". I gently brush her hair behind her ear. "I do love you.. I know it's fast.. but you kinda came here and totally knocked me of my feet".

The most beautiful smile spread on her face. "Aww mi amor.. but you lie.. you were the one swiping away my feet".

"Aww look at you two.. ain't you just adorable". Zac say walking through the door. "Aren't they cute bombón ?"

"Stop calling me that Zachary". Pilar complains behind him. "And no they are utterly impossible.. but as long as they are happy".

To be honest I just ignore them both.. I'll rather focus on Nina and the feeling of pure bliss bubbling in me right now. And she just snuggle into me ignoring them too.

"Hey you two.. who say you can have the couch ?" Zac looks at me.

I shrug. "We got here first... you snooze you lose Z".

"Fair point.. guess we get a pillow then". He looks at Pilar. "Want to share with me ?"

"Hmm.. are you gonna behave ?" She grin softly. It is quite amazing to see how Zac is capable of melting her.. but better not say anything or she'll freeze me with her icy gaze.

Zac rubs his chin looking thoughtful. "Well.. I will sing along.. cry if it gets sad.. might hug you.. but elseway yeah.. I promise to behave".

"Good.. I'll share with you then". She throws herself on the pillow.

The door open and Marshall, Sherry and LZ walks in. Marshall instantly claiming the armchair and Nina pull up her feet letting Sherry get the end of the sofa.

LZ throws himself on the second of the big pillows. "Hey we need to get one more for Matt and Emilia".

"No need". Emilia say as she walks in, alone. "Matt has a headache so.. Maybe I'll just go to bed too".

LZ instantly pad on the pillow beside him. "Or you can be my movie partner ? I really don't take up much space".

She looks thoughtful for a moment. "He did say that I should just go watch the movies.. okay then.. I'll be your movie partner chiqueto".
