still no rights from The Heights...

I'm closing shop early... I guess I just need to think about things some. About Nina. And if I love her. Okay fine. I do love her. But can I tell her that without breaking her heart again? I don't know how to. I don't know how she will respond. She seems like she loves me. But is she just heart broken from Benny and trying to find refuge? I suppose I will have to see how things work out once things settle down with Benny. Is that someone outside? A knock on the door? Oh... Are things that bad at home? Certainly can't keep her waiting out there...

"Hey Nina... are you alright?"

"Not in the least. Can I stay here tonight? Dad is in the worst mood he's been in since I ran off with Benny."

"You can stay here if you want. As long as you like. Uh... I'll sleep on the floor if you want the bed."

"I can't do that to you Usnavi..."

"No, it's fine. If you want to talk about it..."

"I do want to talk about it..." What if it is about me? What is she going to say? How can I comfort her?

"Well... here... Let's sit down and we can talk." Why didn't I put in more chairs here? I guess we can just sit on the side of the bed... It's as good as anywhere... I guess I'm just not used to company...

"My dad got mad because well... I was telling my mom that... Usnavi?"

"What is it Nina?"

"I think I'm falling in love with you." I thought so. I put my arm around her waist.

"You know what Nina?"

"What?"

"I think I'm falling in love with you too..."

"Well I was telling my mom about well... you... and my dad heard part of the conversation and thought we were talking about Benny and started yelling before we could tell him what we were really talking about. My mom tried to explain but he wouldn't listen."

I find myself putting my hand on her thigh. Next thing I know her hand is under my chin. And then her lips are on mine. Why does this feel so right? She seems like she belongs with me more than Vanessa ever could. As my tongue slips into her mouth she jumps a bit but only returns the favor. Why am I doing this? And why, oh why does this feel perfect?

I came here just wanting to get away from my dad and to tell Usnavi that I love him and now His arms are around me so perfectly and his lips are on mine and it feels so right. I never thought Usnavi and I would be kissing much less... Are we really going to... Oh no. But it feels so right. And he is fingering the bottom of my shirt. But I can't pull away like I know I should. In fact I can barely stop kissing him for long enough to let him pull it over my head. And I can't stop my hands from sneaking around him and pulling the dress shirt off. And the tank top.

"Are you sure you want this, Nina?" No. I'm not...

"I'm sure I want you"

Next thing I know my bra is on the floor and he's kissing me right where it used to be. I groan and kiss the top of his head as he pushes me back onto the bed. And his hands are working on my jeans. This feels so much better than it ever could have with Benny. The pants are on the floor. I pull him back up to me and kiss him hard as I begin working on his pants. I feel the growing lump there as I pull his pants off. He pulls my underwear off and begins running his finger around the edge of me. Next thing I know he is at the entrance himself and slowly pushes in. It hurts! But it feels good. I can't keep in a moan. He pulls most of the way back out before pushing back in and starting a rhythm. I feel my hips moving with him as more and more groans come from me. Then he releases inside of me and pulls out for a final time. He settles down next to me and before long we are both asleep in each others arms. All I know is that I never want to leave his arms again for as long as I live. Who cares what my dad thinks. I'm not leaving.
