Sorry
Nick looked himself over in the mirror, he had to admit he looked pretty hot in his choice of clothing. He was wearing a white collared shirt with a green vest that matched his eyes, finished with a open black sport coat and black dress pants. Liking what he was seeing Nick did one final fur check before heading into the lounge room. Nick saw the kit's sitting around the coffee table eating dessert watching Cars 3, again. Well Fru and Nicholas were eating dessert Jack was sitting against the couch with his arms crossed and the foulest look on his face muttering about something, 'he is definitely one hot cross bunny'. Chuckling at his own joke he walked down the hall to the guest room. Nick still could not believe Judy said yes, he did not know if she saw this as a date or just dinner between friends but it was a step in the right direction. Standing in front of the door to the guest room Nick looked at his watch and waited till it was exactly 7pm, As soon as the second hand reached 12 he knocked on the door.
"Give me a second." Judy called through the door.
"Oh! Is the famous Judy Hopps running late? I can't remember how many times you've lectured me on the merits of being on time." Nick mocked through the door with his trademark smirk on his face. That smirk was the first thing Judy saw when she opened the door.
"How long have you been waiting out here?" Judy asked raising her eyebrow, she looked him up and down admiring his outfit with a smile.
"I didn't have to wait, because I was ready on time." Nick closing his eyes smugly placing a paw on his chest.
"He waited about 40 seconds!" Nicholas yelled from the living room.
Nick was about to open his mouth to yell back when he notest what Judy was wearing and lost the ability to speak as his jaw hang limp. Judy was wearing something that the movie stars would wear on the red carpet. She was in a black form fitting dress that went down to just above the knee with a slit on either side showing off her strong thighs and legs that were in black lace leggings, Judys shoulders and back down to her tail was exposed, while the front was held up by a collar around the neck. Judy did a little spin showing it off and as the light hit her just right Nick could see flashes of purple in the dress and a little bit of glitter in Judy's furr.
"You like it?" Judy ask once she finished her turn blushing a little as she straightened the cloth back over her legs
"Like it? I love it, I think the only time you've looked better was on your wedding day!" Nick gushed with a genuine smile on his face.
"Wow, suck up much." came Jack's voice from the living room killing the mood.
"Jack! You better behave yourself at aunty Fru Frus place." scolded Judy as she walked into the living room. As she walked past Nick he caught the slight scent of blueberrys and couldn't stop staring at her exposed back and fur.
"Yes mom." Jack mumbled sarcastically still with his arms crossed and not looking at her, Judy narrowed her eyes at her son.
"Are you three ready to go?" Nick interrupted before an argument between the two could break out. The three kits nodded in unison, "Good, Morris should be here soon to pick you up better clean up your bowls."
"Kay." replied Fru and Nicholas together as they gathered their bowls to take to the kitchen. Jack just sat there looking sourly at them as they left the table, Judy's scowl increased.
Knock Knock Knock!
"That would be him now!" exclaimed Nick making his way to open the door. On the other side of the door stood a teenage polar bear in a red hoodie and jeans.
"Morris how's it going? You and your dad been keeping out of trouble I hope?" Nick greeted cheerfully stepping aside to let the bear in.
"You know the deal Nick you don't ask about work and we don't ice you." Morris affirmed with a smile as he stepped through the door, he had to duck to avoid hitting his head on the frame but it still pushed his fur back anyway messing it up.
"I know, I know, but really how have you been? I swear the last time I saw you, you could easy fit through my door." Nick mocked looking up at him, his smirk back on his face.
"Yeah finally got my growth spurt, I'm no longer the shortest bear in the family." Morris replied fixing up his fur with pride in his voice. "So the little ones ready to go?"
"Yep, come on you three give me a hug and kiss good night." said Judy as her kits walked to the door and grabbed their overnight bags they then lined up to hug their mum.
"You do look really nice mum," complimented Fru looking up at her.
"Have fun," Nicholas winked as Judy pulled them into a hug.
After hugs and kisses were given, Morris lowered his paws for the three of them to jump up on so he could carry them out. The kit's always loved to visit aunt Fru Fru and grandpa Big and the ride there was always fun on Morris's moped. Turning to leave Morris handed out three small helmets and a blanket for when they hit Tundra town.
"Morris you be careful driving, I don't want to hear anything at work about a polar bear doing tricks on a moped with three small bunnies in the basket, again!" Judy called out as they walked down the hall.
"I promise they will not be harmed Judy!" Morris replied over his shoulder. As he disappeared down the stairs Judy could hear the sounds of giggling.
"Well that was reassuring," muttered Judy as she walked back into the apartment to get her purse.
"Come on Carrots you know he's a good driver and he is always safe with them," assured Nick making sure he had his phone, keys and wallet in his pockets.
"It's not that Nick, I just don't want to have internal affairs asking me why my kit's were with a known courier for Mr. Big. You know how noisy they can get." Judy started walking back out with everything she needed.
"Yeah I can understand that. So finally ready to go Carrots." Nick teased with a smirk.
"Come on before I change my mind and just head to Viv's for a drink." pouted Judy as she walked past Nick and out the door.
Nick unable to keep his eyes off her tail as she swung it more then needed, quickly shutting and locking the door, he turned and ran to catch up with Judy offering her his arm which she gladly took. They turned and made their way down the hall taking the stairs to the basement garage. They walked up to Nick's' wolf sized 1974 Dodge Monaco ex-police car still with all the police extras and paint job, the only difference was the logo on the side had a fox in shades over the star with "Fox Cop" written underneath.
"You know, no matter how many times I see your new car, I'm always surprised you bought something like this." Judy commented as she opened her door and took a seat placing her purse on her lap.
"What's wrong with it? Blues brothers was a great movie." Nick said as he took his seat "besides, I could not resist getting it when I saw it on sale, all it needed was a bit of a touch up, a size adjustment kit and yours truly on the side." Nick said his face full of pride.
"I'm just amazed you don't get in trouble for the paint job and lights." smiled Judy.
"Well civilians don't bat an eye and when I do get pulled over the cops they usually forget why they did once the realize who I am, then they proceed to ether apologise or they talk my ear off about old cases or the car." smirked Nick starting up the car.
"Well you have only had it 4 months your luck is bound to run out." Laughed Judy knowing if she ever pulled him over in this she would write him a ticket just to see the look on his face.
Nick pulled out into traffic and headed to their dinner reservation. They sat in a comfortable silence for a while, Judy looking out the window trying to figure out where they were heading. She had tried to get the information out of the infuriating fox all day but he was tight lipped about it. They headed out of The Evergreens and into the Rain Forest District.
"So you going to tell me where you're taking my for Dinner or not?" Judy asked looking over at Nick.
"As I told you earlier today fluff, 'you'll find out when we get there' just be patient." Judy hufft and crossed her arms returning to looked out the window. "You know carrots for a bunnie your age you are still such a kit sometimes." laughed Nick.
"Says the biggest kit in the car." retorted Judy joining in on the laughter.
Nick needed that laugh, on the outside he may look like his cool collective self but inside he was more than a little nervous. He had racked his brain to think of a place to take Judy that Jacob had not, all of the high class joints where off the table, so that just left the mid and low class restaurants. It took him awhile but he finally decided on a place that he knew Jacob didn't know about. A small boat restaurant in the Canal District specializing in Japanese cuisine. Nick knew that Jacob had not taken Judy there because he had asked the vixen that owns and runs it, he just hoped that Judy would like it.
As Judy watched the trees go by she realized they were on the edge of the Rain Forest District close to the Falls. Trying to think what restaurants were close by she remembered one of the dates Jacob taken her on, it was to a high class joint called "The Canopy". High class in all regards, the food was amazing and amazingly overpriced, the setting was 'rich' in taste and filled with celebrities, CEOs and senators everywhere, and the view of the falls was beyond words seeing as the restaurant was located literally in the canopy looking down into the falls. As much as she wanted to go back there she did not want to eat Nick bankrupt, and if the prices of the food were the same as last time she could do that with one meal.
"Nick you can't be taking me to 'The Canopy' that place is way overpriced?" a hint of fear in Judy's voice.
"I already knew that carrots, though I always got the biggest tips there." a smirk coming over his face.
"You worked there?" Judy questioned raising her eyebrows.
"Define work" his smirk turning into his hustling face.
"You were employed by management." she remarked with a small frown.
"Then no, it's amazing the places you can get into when you look the part."
Judy watched as they drove past the entrance of 'The Canopy' and continued over a bridge into the Canal District. Judy started to run through the place she knew, she could think of 5, 3 she had already gone to with Jacob, but none of them were in the direction they were going.
"Ok you win, I have no idea where you're taking me. You happy?" crossing her arm over her chest.
"Carrots I was already happy, this is just the blueberry on top." Judy looked sideways at him and could see his tail trying to wag behind him. "Anyway we're here."
Nick pulled up in a parking lot by a canal, along the boardwalk small stalls and restaurant carts were setting up for the night. Judy had never been to this part of the city as long as you disregarded patrols. She jumped out of the car taking in all the sights, the sounds and the aromas. Judy was so enchanted that she did not notice Nick coming to stand beside her.
"So what do you think?" he asked looking at her excited face.
"This is amazing, which one should we try first?" Judy's noise and ears twitched at the different smells and sounds of the market stalls, her excitement building.
"This way my dear" Nick smiled offering his arm to guide her.
They walked along the boardwalk passing every food stall and stopping every now and again at small trinket vendors when something caught Judy's eye. For the first time in nearly 8 years she did not feel like a mother of three. Finally they came to a pier with a small group of mammals waiting. There was a group of three stags that looked like they were just on a night out. A pair of females, one a cougar and the other a spotted hyena. Finally there was four rabbits that looked like they were on a double date. They all were in there own little groups involved in conversation. One of the doe's spotted Judy and stared for a second before turning back to her group.
"So what are we doing here?" Judy asked while she watched the other mammals whisper amongst themselves.
"We're waiting for the restaurant." Nick replied like he knew all.
"Nick, how do you wait for a restaurant?" she frowned up at him.
Judy's question was answered with a "toot toot", she turned towards the sound to see a boat pull up to dock. The boat had an open area with a kitchen in the middle surrounded by a bench with four seater tables coming out of the bench at regular intervals and tables at the back of the boat for larger patrons and/or groups, and at the front there was a single table for two with a reserved sign on it. The whole thing was covered with a see through plastic to give a view of the sky with soft music playing thought out. On the top of the roof was a sign that said "Kitsune wa nani o suru no?", Judy guested that it was the name of the restaurant but had no idea what it meant. She watched as a white vixen and a red squirrel tied the boat to the dock and lowered a walkway down for mammals to get on. Judy was about to ask Nick a question when the vixen called out.
"All aboard that's coming aboard!" Nick and Judy walked up to the vixen as she welcomed each customer onto her boat, hanging back so that they were the last ones. "Nick so glad you could make it, hey Chuck looks like I owe you $20" she said to the squirrel.
"You show such little faith in me Tiffany." Nick said placing his paw on his chest.
"No, I just know you." She said back with a smile turning to Judy "and you must be Judy, as you heard my name is Tiffany, but my friends call me Tiff, and I hope you enjoy your meal with us. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask." holding out her paw to shake, as soon as Judy took it she was pulled in for a hug. "Only strangers shake hands, any friend of Nick's is a friend of mine."
"Wow you two must be close, I do have some questions though. How did you meet and why have you not introduced us before this Nick." Judy punched Nick in the arm.
"Ow careful carrots, I haven't introduced you two cos, well we haven't really been in touch since before I became a cop." Nick confessed as he rubbed the saw spot on his arm.
"And how we meet is a hilarious story but I will have to tell it latter, we better get this show on the road." Tiff giggled.
Nick and Judy boarded the boat and looked around for a place to sit. "So where do you want to sit carrots?"
She looked around the nicely decorated boat and the seats available, "I would love to sit at the front but it looks like it's reserved for someone." Judy said a little saddened.
"It is, for you two. Nick told me about your divorce and how he was taking you out on a date to cheer you up so I saved you the best seat in the house, well boat." Tiff told her as she released the moorings.
Nick was about to tell Tiff it wasn't a date when Judy lepted past and pulled Tiff into another hug. "Thanks, I really do need cheering up after everything and this date is just what I need." she exclaimed cheeks getting warm.
'Well that answers my question on whether Judy sees this as a date or not' thought nick. Judy turned back to Nick and saw that his tail was wagging faster than she had ever seen it, Nick had the dopiest grin on his face making both girls laugh.
"What?" questioned Nick snapping out of it.
"You think if we put his tail in the water we could power your boat?" Judy asked Tiff.
"Only one way to find out." chuckled Tiff.
Nick turned to look at his tail, seeing it thrash around he quickly grabbed it trying to calm it down. The girls laughed again at the site of the tip still twitching like crazy. Judy followed Tiff to the front of the boat noticing that they had already started to move. Tiff removed the reserved sign from the table and offered Judy a seat, Nick had recovered and came up in time to help her with her chair. Tiff then handed the pair the menus.
"Now Chuck should be around soon to take your orders, if there is anything you want that's not on the menu just ask and I will see what I can do. In the meantime is there any drinks you would like?"
"I would like a 'what's up doc" said Judy as she read the menu.
"And I'll take a 'blueberry martini" Nick requested.
"Knew you would want that, Chuck will bring over your drinks in a moment." Tiff smiled and turned to walk off.
"Hey Tiff!" Tiff turned to look at Judy " um who's driving the boat?"
"Oh that would be Mickey, he's up top" Judy look up puzzled, till she saw a small platform on top of the signs with a black mouse at the helm. "Yeah Mickey drives, I cook and Chuck does the leg work." Tiff chuckled as she walked to the kitchen.
"She's very pretty" Judy looked back to Nick "I'm surprised you're not with her."
"Tiff?" Judy nodded "I will admit she is very attractive for a vixen, but she is more like a little sister to me, so just no, and besides she already has a mate."
"How do you know that if you haven't talked to her in nearly ten years?" Judy raised an eyebrow, Nick just taped his nose.
"I can smell his mark on her, besides she's not my type." Nick replied trying to sound casual.
"That's right vixens don't turn you on" Judy remark with a cheeky grin.
Nick's ears fell to the sides."So you do remember that night?" Nick looked into Judy's eyes as she rested her chin in her paws.
"Oh only bits and pieces, it's all still a bit fuzzy. But I do remember you telling me about your lack of libido." she teased.
"I never said that carrots, I just said that Vixens weren't my thing." he turned his gaze to look at the river feeling himself getting embarrassed.
"Oh so you prefer tods do you" joked Judy "That does explain a lot of things between you and Fin. I mean that one time I walked in on you and him 'wrestling' on the floor with no clothes on should of been my first hint." Judy giggled smiling from ear to ear.
"Oh har har carrots, no I don't go for tods, and you know why me and Fin were fighting that time." He retorted with a frown looking at her again.
"Remind me again" she said with smile.
Nick was about to talk when Chuck walked up with their drinks, placing them on the table.
"So you two ready to order?" asked the red squirrel in a heavy British accent.
"We haven't really looked at the menus, sorry" blushed Judy.
"That's ok take your time, I'll come back in 5" Chuck said turning to look after the other guests.
Both of them picked up their menus to find something to order. As soon as Nick saw the Mirin glazed salmon he knew what he was having, he put down his menu and took a sip of his drink. "Wow this is a really good drink" Nick thought as he looked over at Judy, with a small frown on her face, still trying to find something to order.
"Need any help there carrots?" Nick asked putting down his drink.
"It would help if I knew what half of these were." she replied, her frown increased a little. Nick looked back at the menu looking for something Judy may like.
"Why don't you try the Kitsune Udon, wheat noodles with aburaage, sound pretty good" Judy nodded her head in agreement so Nick looked around to find Chuck so they could order. He was currently talking to the cougar and hyena couple.
"Wow who ever mixed this drink did a really good job." said Judy as she took another sip.
"I have to agree with you there carrots." Nick raising his glass, Judy mirrored him "to the future"
"Too new beginnings." added Judy with a soft smile, they toasted then finished off their drinks.
"Are you two ready to order now?" butted in Chuck.
"Yes we are" replied Judy as she licked the last of her drink from her lips.
"The lady would like the Kitsune Udon and I would like the Mirin glazed salmon. Could we also get a refill on our cocktails?" Nick asked holding his empty glass.
"Absolutely" Chuck said as he wrote their order down "I'll be right back with your drink's" Chuck walked to the kitchen and handed Tiff their order then started to make their drinks.
Nick and Judy sat in silence just watching the sites go by. Nick looked around at the other patrons, everyone seemed to be having a good time especially the bucks at the back of the boat. The rabbits were deep in conversation, about what Nick had no idea. he looked over at the last pair on the boat to find them in a deep kiss. Nick's cheeks felt hot and he looked away, not wanting to look like a perv, he looked at Judy to find that she was watching the two go at it, her cheeks and ears slightly going red.
"You know it's rude to stare carrots" he commented breaking the spell the kiss had on Judy.
"What? I can't help it if I miss having someone kiss me with that much passion." she sighed a little embarrassed that he court her staring at them.
"Well if you're lucky and can woo me I may grant your wish, but I usually don't kiss on the first date." Chuck came over with their new drinks "thanks Chuck" the squirrel just nodded.
"Really now? And how just many kisses have you gotten ?" she smirked.
"A few, but I'm not the type to kiss and tell." he said as he took a sip from his new drink.
"Oh come on if you tell me your first kiss I'll tell you mine." she begged, making a cute face and drooping her ears.
"Wasn't that Jacob?" teased Nick.
"Phuff, No. I may not be what you would call a normal bunny but I'm still a bunny Nick. I had my first kiss with a boy in middle school. I was then sent home for beating up him and his friends after I found out he did it on a dare." Nick was having trouble holding in his laughter, "Well come on it's your turn slick."
"Ok,ok," he took a quick sip of his drink, "My first was in high school with one of Viv's friends after school. We were making out under the bleachers before cheer-leading practice and everything was going well, until I tried to touch her tail." Judy crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, "What? I like fluffy things. Anyway, she slaps me, calls me a perv and storms off," she smiled at that "wait it gets better. When Viv got home after cheerleader practice she walks up to me slaps me on the same cheek, calls me a perv and storms off." Judy couldn't hold in her laughter and Nick couldn't help but join in.
"Well you should have known better to touch a vixens tail" Judy said smugly as she took a sip.
"Actually she was a arctic hare," Judy's drink nearly went down the wrong way causing her to have a coughing fit.
"You ok carrots?" the concern in his voice was evident.
"Yeah, I just wasn't expecting your first kiss to be with a hare." Judy put her drink down afraid she would drop it.
"She was actually my first crush as well, I could see the appeal in vixens but I only had eyes for Stacey and her beautiful snow white fur that was always fluffy year round. She or my sister didn't speak to me for a week after but I eventually got back into their good books." a smile crossing his face at the memories.
"So I'm not the first rabbit you've tried to get into bed?" Just a bit of jealousy slipping into her voice.
"No, no you're not, but I do hope you will be the last." he teased smiling gently down at her making her heart flutter and her loins grow warm.
*coughe* "Sorry to interrupt this magical moment, but dinner is served." Smiled Tiff as she placed their meals down in front of them.
"Wow this food looks amazing and if it taste as good as it looks I would be willing to overlook it, especially if you tell me how you met Nick as well" Judy replied joyfully.
"I was really hoping you would forget to ask about that", Nick moaned as he put his face into his paws.
"Oh honey I would of told you that anyway, and Nicky were you stupid enough to think I wouldn't take this as an opportunity to embarrass you." Nick just groaned, "Anyway, this is going back a few years now, I was fresh outta high school and looking for a job. I was just kicked out of a shop once again because I'm a fox when I spot this red vixen in a green dress walking towards me with a kit in this elephant onesie," Judy raised an eyebrow at Nick still with his face in his paws. "I thought nothing of it till I got close enough to get a good whiff of them. I really am surprised that no one else caught on to them, I mean it's a bit hard not to notice the smell of two adult male foxes who hadn't bathed in a few days."
"Hey we took showers, it's not our fault it was a hot day." Nick argued pointing a finger at Tiff.
"Right…" Tiff retorted rolling her eyes, "Anyway I got curious and followed them around for the day, they went into an elephant ice-cream parlor and came out with a jumbo-pop and the number of a tiger that was in the store, anyway once they left..."
"Let me guess they melted it down and re-froze them to sell as smaller pawpsicles?" Judy interrupted trying not to laugh.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Tiff asked her.
"Cos that's nearly the same way I met him, minus the dress." she replied not able to hold in her laughter any longer.
"Ha! Well I better leave you two lovebirds to your meals, enjoy." Tiff grinned and went to leave.
"Wait," Tiff turned around, "how did Nick look in the dress?" Judy asked with a smile.
"Not bad, but I reckon he could of done better." with that Tiff walked back to the kitchen Judy turned back to Nick with a smile.
"So should I add cross-dressing to your list of kinks?" she asked him teasingly.
"Don't get your hopes up fluff I only did that for hustles, and I got rid of that dress once we found out single dads get more sympathy." He could feel his ears were getting hot from embarrassment.
"Awww not even if I ask you nicely?" she grinned.
"Cross dressing must be one of your kinks carrots." he shot back with a smile and sipped his drink.
"Well I do like to wear the pants in the relationship", Judy smirked as she took a sip of her Kitsune Udon "mmmm this is delicious".
"Tiff can make just about anything taste good, she would cook for Fin and I all the time back in the day. It didn't matter what she made it was always good. I'm glad she was able to follow her dream."
Nick and Judy sat in silence as they ate their meals, just enjoying the food and scenery. The boat sailed gently up the river under canopy that was lit up by the lights of the city, with the branches swaying in a light breeze. Soon they found themselves at the base of the large waterfall that was next to The Canopy restaurant, watching the fireflies dancing in the bushes around the rocks on the shore Judy had to admit it was a nicer view from down here. Once the two were finished with their food Chuck came to clear their plates, they ordered another round of drinks and some ice-cream with blueberries and strawberries. They sat and listened to the soft music playing on the boat, the sounds of the rain forest and rumble of the waterfall both lost in thought. It wasn't long till they had their ice-cream and drinks.
"So Nick I have to ask this, why didn't you ever ask me out when we started working together if you had feelings for me?" putting a spoon full of ice-cream in her mouth.
Nick swallowed his own mouth full of ice-cream and berries, "That's simple, you were too important to me. I mean you were one of the first mammals to see me for who I was and not just a fox, you saved my life multiple times and became my closest friend. I didn't want to risk ruining our friendship if you didn't feel the same way or was against the idea of dating another species especially a fox. Then Jacob came into the picture and you seemed so happy I didn't want to ruin it for you, no matter how much of a ass hat he was and is. I realise that I let my fear hold me back from possibly the best thing in my life, but now he is gone and you told me to go after you I won't let my fear hold me back from what I want. I can understand if you're not ready for a serious relationship right now, I just want you to know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to wake up to your face every morning and kiss you goodnight every evening, I would do anything in my power to protect you and the kit's and these last few weeks have been the best of my life. I already think of the kit's as my own and I don't want to lose what we have right now and I'm rambling now aren't I?" Nick looked up from his paws to see that Judy had tears running down her face. "I'm sorry Judy I didn't mean to upset you, great I just ruined the evening."
"No you dumb fox, that's not why I'm crying.. I just never knew you felt that way" Judy wiped at her tears and moved her paw across the table to hold Nicks. "You know as much as I can't imagine my life without my kit's now, if you told me your true feelings right up to the 'I do's' I probably would have dropped Jacob like a sack of moldy potatoes."
"Really?" Nick asked, his eyes wide and starting to tear up.
"Yes really, I only married Jacob because you never said anything."
"Damn it."
"And why wouldn't I want to be with you? I know we didn't get off on the right foot and I completely fudged that press conference, but you stood up to Bogo and defended my dream for me, you forgave me after the biggest mistake of my life and you didn't leave me behind in the museum when most mammals would have kept running. I've had feeling for you since you opened up to me on the sky trame, I saw the real Nick that night, the Nick that just wanted to help mammals and be the best that he could be and every day since those feelings just grew stronger. I may not of known it then but I know it now, you are my soul mate Nick and nothing would make me happier than to have you in my life. I've never cared that you are a fox, I fell in love with who you are not what you are, though it doesn't hurt that you are the hottest mammal I know." Judy started to wipe her tears with a napkin then blow her nose.
"You really mean that carrots?" Nick asked with his grin.
"Yes and I know the kit's would love to stay with you." she took a sip of her drink and folded the wet napkin back on the table.
"No I was talking about me being the hottest mammal you know?" Nick chuckled as Judy slapped his arm.
"Way to ruin the moment slick." Judy pouted leaning back in her seat.
"Sorry Judy you know how I am with showing this much emotion, even after all these years you and mom are the only ones that I let see me like this."
"I know, and yes I mean what I said about you being the hottest mammal I know, though I can only say that now that I'm not with Jacob, even if I've always thought it. I'm faithful too my mate, unlike some mammals," she huft.
"Hey now, I took you out on this date so you could forget about that twit." he commented as he reached for his drink.
"I thought it was so you could try and get me in your bed?" she said with a smirk.
"I'm hurt you would think that carrots, I'm not that kind of fox," Nick put his hand on his chest looking hurt, "besides all I would have to do to get you in my bed is leave a trail of carrots from the front door and just wait."
"Ha, you wish!" slapping him on the arm again with a grin on her face.
"Ladies and gentlemen can I have your attention please!," Tiff call from the kitchen " I hope all you have enjoyed your meals." She was answered by a cheer from all mammals on board. "Great! Now I hope you enjoy the show!"
Suddenly there was a boom in the sky as fireworks where set off from the roof of the boat aimed at the waterfall. The falls acting like a natural mirror reflecting some of the light back making it look like more going off then there really was. All the mammals were getting up from their seats and heading to the starboard side of the boat with their drinks to watch the show.
Judy's eyes lit with delight as she ran excitedly to the starboard side of the boat and held onto the rails as more fireworks leapt into the night sky and bust into different colours. Nick walked over to join her smiling at the beautiful bunny he was with and the way her tail was twitching with excitement as a particularly large firework went off. Nick stood beside Judy wrapping his tail around her legs, as beautiful as the fireworks where they were nothing compared to Judy, especially in that dress. Judy saw Nick watching her out of the corner of her eye turning her head slightly to look at him. "Nick you're missing the show."
"I'm not missing a thing Judy, you're the most beautiful thing here and I don't want to miss a second of you." Nick smiled showing off his teeth.
Judy shivered with excitement not just by the use of her name but after the incident in the museum Nick predatory feature always aroused her. She turned her body to face Nick and took a step closer, staring deep into his eyes, she could see the fireworks reflected in his green orbs but could also see the love he had for her. She knew he would be there for her forever and would care and protect the kits and her from anything. Judy slowly stood up on her toes bring their muzzles closer wrapping her arms around his neck, closing her eyes she wanted this kiss so bad but once she was as high as she could go she was still just short of connecting with him.
Nick watched as she came close to him he could see the desire in her eyes, the lust and longing and he wanted to give in to her, give her everything she wanted but he just could not help but tease her just a little bit. Once she was as high as she was going to get she was still just short of his muzzle, he expected her to open her eyes and pout, instead she grabbed the fur on the back of his neck and pulled him into the kiss. His eyes went wide before closing as well, it might of been his imagination but the amount of fireworks going off tripled and his mind seemed to just explode and go blank. Wrapping his arms tight around her holding her like she was the only thing keeping him in reality.
When Judy realized she was not tall enough to reach his muzzle she didn't wait for Nick to bend down, she was getting that kiss she had been waiting ten years for and she was getting it now. She grabbed his fur and pulled him in, the second their lips connected it was like a jolt of electricity going from her lips down her spine down to her core and then exploding out. She loved it and wanted more, she parted her lips and ran her tongue along his lips seeking entrance, entrance he instantly granted access to. Her small tongue started to explore his mouth feeling his sharp canines before trying to wrap around his tongue and pulling it into her mouth inviting him to deepen the kiss. Soon she felt his larger canine tongue filling her mouth exploring, she was lost in a feeling of bliss when he put his tongue deeper. At first she was shocked forgetting how long his tongue is, he snaked his way to the back of her mouth the tip just tickling her throat. She was not use the this but she soon found that she loved the feeling.
If Nick thought the meeting of their lips was the best part he had not word to describe it when he felt her tongue try to gain entrance to his mouth, entrance he eagerly granted, and when he felt her tongue try to pull his into her mouth he could barely hold back the urge to have his way with her then and there. For a first kiss they definitely were going all out, putting the show the female pair put on before to shame, the firework show was well and truly over before the parted breathing heavily just staring into each other's eyes recovering from a kiss like they had run a marathon full pelt. They were broken from their little world by cheers and wolf whistles, looking around they saw that the whole boat was looking at them, by the looks on everyone's faces they all had enjoyed the show they had just put on. That's when Judy noticed at some point in the kiss Nick had picked her up by her ass and she had her leg firmly around his waist. The pair slowly untangled themselves to the unhappy sounds of the other patrons. Embarrassed, they slowly walked back to their seats making sure to order more drinks from Chuck on the way, as the night was still young.
