Chapter 2
"I love you Nicky," Hunter said, as they lay there together, in each other's arms.
She looked up at him and smiled. "I love you too Hunter." She propped herself up on her elbow. "Just think, in a week, we will be husband and wife. A dream fulfilled.
"Yeah. In one more week you will be mine forever," He said, kissing her.
"And you will be mine." She smiled.
They stared in each other eyes, letting each other know just how much they meant to the other. Nicky leaned down and teasingly kissed him. When he wanted more, she would pull away.
"You drive me nuts woman," He said, as he rolled on top of her. She laughed.
"I know," Nicky laughed.
"One day, you will get pay back. So be prepared," He jokily said.
"I'll be waiting," She said, devilishly.
Their thoughts were interrupted, by a knock at the door. Hunter got up and slipped on a part of jogging pants and went to see who it was. Nicky lay back with a big smile on her face. Letting the memory of what just happened flood her mind.
Before he got to the door, they knocked again. "Coming," He said, opening the door.
Standing there was Sierra. "Hey Hunter, sorry to bother you, but is Nicky with you?" She said.
"Yeah, just a minute." He let Sierra in and went to the back to get Nicky. Sierra walked over to the bench and sat down. She looked around the dressing room. Things were scattered all over the place. She had a funny feeling what had happened in here.
"Nic, Sierra's here," He said, just as Nicky was getting her shorts back on.
"Okay, tell her I'll be right there," She said.
Hunter left her to finish getting dressed and headed back to Sierra.
"She said she'll be right there."
Nicky put her shoes back on and went to find out what she wanted.
"Hey Sierra," She said.
"Hey, I thought I would come by and let you know that Jeff and I would be arriving Saturday instead of Sunday."
"How come Saturday?" Nicky asked.
"To tell you the truth, I have no clue. Jeff just told me to come down here and tell you instead of Sunday, we'll be there Saturday night some time."
Nicky looked over at Hunter. He smiled at her, a sign that he can't get what happened out of his mind. She blushed.
"That's fine with us. Just call before you leave," Nicky said.
"You sure, it won't be a problem?"
"No problem at all. Maybe we could do something that night. For it being my last night as a free woman," Nicky said. When she said that, Hunter shot a look at her. She just laughed.
"Well, I'll go back and let Jeff know," Sierra said, standing up. "We'll talk later Nic."
And with that Sierra left.
Hunter got up and walked to Nicky. "Cracking jokes now are we?" He asked.
Nicky just smiled. She knew she was in trouble for that last remark. "Yeah."
"Ah, I got you. You just wait young lady. Tonight. You. Me. Here. You're going down," He said, playful.
She stepped up in her defense. "Is that a challenge Mr. Hunter Helmsley?"
"You better bet your cute butt on that Miss. Nickole Andrews."
"All I can say is, 'Just Bring It,'" She said, using Dwayne's character The Rock's line.
"I'll bring it. You just bring yourself." He grabbed her around her waist and pulled her near him.
"You're a goof ball," Nicky said.
"I know. I try." He told her. She laughed.
She loved that man. And couldn't wait until they got married, so that she could be with him forever. If she had it her way, they would have gone out and got married months ago. But, she always wanted a wedding. Have it be a special day that neither she nor him would ever forget.
They stood there in silence, looking in each other eyes. She brought a hand up to his face and lightly caressed it.
He grabbed her hand and placed it over his heart, which was beating faster then normal.
"Feel that?" He asked.
She looked at her hand, feeling the beats of his heart. "Yeah."
"It's beating love for you." She looked up at him and blushed a light shade of pink. "Every time I see you, feel you, hear you, my heart fills with love. And I am so happy that you are apart of my life. Without you, my life would be no life at all. And when we get married, I promise you, that you will never be unhappy nor will you ever regret marrying me. Cause I love you so much."
Nicky stood there in awe. Tears of happiness were streaming down her face as she took in the words he had just said.
"Hunter, I know I won't regret marrying you. Or will I ever be unhappy with you. I love you with all my heart and soul. And I know I will be proud to be your wife."
He kissed her softly on the lips.
