'You want anything to drink?' Nick asked as we entered his apartment.

'Yeah, give me whatever.' I plopped onto his couch. Nick came back with two cans of Dr. Pepper. then sat down next to me.

'What did River tell you, that your not telling me?'

'It's really not that important Nick.' I opened my soda.

'She told you the reason why you fell. Why can't you tell me?' He got closer to me.

'It's just something that if you knew, you would think differently of me then you do now. I don't want for you to think of me differently Nick.'

'Fine tell me something about you that no one else knows about you. Then I'll tell you something about me.'

'Ok.' I turned to him, 'Before I moved here I was engaged with a man, named David. HE was wonderful/ I loved him so much but then on out wedding day his best friend murdered him.' Tears were falling from my face, 'Then when they were about to arrest him, he killed himself.' Nick held me and I dropped my soda, and it went all over my shirt.

'Looks like you will have to get a new shirt.' My tears became laughter.

'Can I borrow one your shirts?' Nick took off his shirt right there and then. He put it over my head and moved my hair for me. WOW! He's got nice abs! I really just want to touch is muscles and run my hands all over him.

'I'll drive you home.' His shirt is still warm. I can feel his warmth. Nick went over to the chair and grabbed another shirt. 'Come on.' Nick kissed my forehead. WE drove to my house. Nick caressed my hand with his thumb. We got out of his car and I opened the door. 'You go change, ok?' I nodded and went into my room.

I deiced on wearing a wife beater with a jacket over. Also my jeans a decided to change to a darker pair of fairly baddy jeans. I can't believe that I told him about David. I told him a piece of my life that I do not even want to remember. I want to remember him but not what happened in the end. I took my hair and left it down and place a pair of black mirror sun glasses in my hair.

Nick walked in, 'Hey you alright?'

'Yeah, I guess so.' I sat on the edge of my bed.

'Could I raid your fridge?'

'Sure.' Nick turned and got out of the room.

'You want anything?'

'No.' I heard Nick open my fridge. I took my had and felt every one of my ribs. I could feel every one of them. I saw satisfied. I went into the kitchen and saw Nick holding a bottle of apple of juice.

'Apple juice that's all you have. One bottle of Apple juice.' Nick looked at the expiration date, 'December 9, 2000. When was the last time you went grocery shopping?'

'When I bought that.'

Nick stood there open mouthed and threw out the bottle. 'I'm going to take you shopping.' Nick grabbed my hand and started to walk away, but I didn't.

'We should get some sleep first Nick. We won't be getting a lot of it. So we better get some when we can, right?'

'I guess your right. I'm going to go back to my place. I'll pick you up later.' Nick kissed my forehead then left.
