Chapter:4 –The Morning After.

The next morning Cameron woke up and turned to look at Nikki sleeping. She was so beautiful. Today Cameron felt special. Why shouldn't he. He was the guy who took Nikki's virginity. She would always remember last night. Then Nikki woke up and saw Cameron starring at her.

"What?" She said.

"Nothing, you're just so beautiful."

"Stop it, no I'm not." Nikki insisted.

"Okay ,whatever." Cameron said.

"So, Nikki, how was it?"

"What?"

"You know, the sex. How was I?"

"It was nice." Nikki said with a smile.

"Nice?"

"Yes, nice."

"That's all? Nice? Not great, or awesome, or mind blowing? Just nice?" Cameron asked.

"Well maybe nice is all a girl can manage the morning after her first time Cameron."

"Well, there are things that happen to a girl during sexual intercourse, a certain peak…" Cameron said.

"What? Are you asking me…? No, I'm not telling you that.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to know how I was." Cameron said.

"Well Cameron, maybe I'm wondering if I was up to you're standard. You did this before with Amber. Maybe I'm wondering if I could be as good as her." Nikki said as she was hugging the pillow.

"Sweetie, you were awesome, out of this world, mind blowing, that is what you were, better then Amber."

"I'm going into the kitchen to get a drink." Nikki said and got up and walked to the kitchen.

About 45 minutes went by and they were both on the couch watching TV. Cameron leaned over to kiss her on the lips, but she turned and he kissed her cheek instead.

"Nikki, what did I do? What's wrong?" Cameron asked, concerned.

"What do you mean?" Nikki replied.

"Well since we woke up, you haven't touched me. No kisses or handing hands or anything."

"Oh, I ah, didn't notice."

"Nikki…" Cameron said awaiting a real answer.

"I'm sorry, I've just been thinking a lot, wondering if last night was the right thing to do."

"Of course it was the right thing."

"Cameron, I think if it was right, we would have had at least said I love you before."

"Nikki, I do love you."

"But, before this we never did say that, and that is definitely something to say before sex."

"I know, I'm sorry, but I love you, I'm saying it now."

"I lov- We shouldn't have had sex. It was the wrong thing to do."

"Why?"

"Because, it's not our age, its we have been going out for only 2 months. That's all." Nikki said.

"Nikki, it was the right thing, believe me it was."

"Okay , I guess."

"So, do you love me Nik?"

"Yeah, I love you."

"Sweetie, can I take a quick shower before I go?"

"Sure, my parents won't be home for at least 4 hours." Cameron said, thinking this shower idea was awesome.

"Okay, I'll be quick." Nikki said as she walked to the bathroom.

After 5 minutes went by, Cameron opened the bathroom door and came in quietly. Nikki was singing.

"On a Monday I am waiting, Tuesday I am fading Wednesday I can't sleep, then the phone rings I hear you and the darkness is a clear view

cuz you've come to rescue me, fall, with you I fall so fast I can hardly catch my breath I hope it last oh, it seems like I can finally rest my head on something real, I like the way that feels oh…" Nikki sang Pieces of Me by Ashlee Simpson.

Cameron went right near the shower curtain and stuck his hand in.

"Ah!" Nikki shouted.

He took his hand out.

"Can I come in with you?" Cameron asked.

"No! Go away, get out of here Cameron!"

"But, I thought…"

"You thought wrong! Now go."

"Nikki, I've seen you naked, why can't I just come in there with you?" Cameron wondered.

"Its just, its weird okay."

"Nikki, come on, I can help you clean your back." Cameron offered.

"Cameron, please get out of the bathroom" Nikki insisted.

"Sweetie…I need to get cleaned too."

"Cameron, get out now!!"

"Fine." Cameron said and walked out.

Nikki came out of the bathroom 10 minutes later and walked over to Cameron on the couch.

"Cam?" Nikki said.

"Yeah?" Cameron said kind of disappointed.

"I'm sorry I didn't want you in the shower but I feel weird, having you right there looking at me naked. I feel embarrassed."

"Okay, but ah, we had sex last night. I already saw you naked."

"I know, but it was dark, and you didn't just stare at me naked, you… I dunno, but its not like you just looked at me. There was other things going on."

"Yeah, there was Nikki. I'm sorry, I just get crazy when I think about you. Especially when I think about you naked in a shower."

"Okay, I gotta go, my aunt will be home soon. I love you."

"I love you too."

They kissed and then she left.
