Since was down and out in uploading for me I decided to write a little more of tough times. Even though my other chapter was like…huge! So this one is also huge probably when I finished. Either that, or I might finish it. Mind also that I am jumping a lot of the championships since Michael goes home to America. But he won't go without a bang lol.

Enough of my rambling on with the fic!

"Michael!"

"Leave me alone Rick," I shouted from my bed. I wanted to at least get some sleep before my plane ride home but Rick was keeping me up. He had been going at it none stop from half ten. And I doubt he was going to stop until I heard him out on what he had to say. Sighing, I got up and walked slowly to the door, ready for the onslaught.

"Finally," He slapped me out of the way to go and sit on the bed, "Why storm off like that? It was just about to get interesting,"

"Interesting? Rick I didn't want you and him to go throat to throat at each other. Especially not in my presence,"

"Look I'm sorry alright. Just that fucking twat gets right up my ass," He replied, thumping his fist into my bed sheets angrily.

"He's gets right up mine too," I smile sinfully back.

He looks up to me and smiles one of those brilliant smiles.

I walk over to the slowly moving blinds and move them out of my way to step onto the balcony and into the cold but breezy Italian night air. I let the wind blow freely in my face and hair. Closing my eyes I sigh and I feel two hands encircle my waist. I gasp at the touch and lean back to see Rick's gleaming eyes in the moonlight looking down into my very own eyes.

"You wanna….?"

"Rick? Are you suggesting what I think you are?" I ask, in a posh accent with a raised eyebrow.

He snorts withlaughter as he nodded his head.

I let my eyes linger and my hands roam his chest and he looked deep in to my eyes. He moved into to kiss my lips sweetly, the first time he had ever kissed meso passionately.

I moaned as I let his lips and tongue devour my mouth before he dipped down to lick my neck. I tilted my head back and silently moaned to myself once again. I jumped when I felt his cold hands rove up my chest then stop to tweak my nipples.

I stop him by placing my hand on his chest, and then grab his hand from underneath my shirt and took him back inside the room. I sat down on the bed, letting him take control of me. He took of my jacket and flung it away, the same with my top. He did the same. He then sat on top of my knees, ravishing my upper body with his talented tongue and hands.

The night wore on and I slept next to the one I truly loved. My turquoise eyes looked up at his relaxed and peaceful face. I had always wanted him. Cause, what had I ever saw in Steven? Nothing. And I knew that now. Rick was the one for me…always will be.

"Don't you think you should be getting some sleep for your plane flight tomorrow?"

I jumped as the voice rang out; I looked at Rick and then smiled. He was peaking at me through one eye with a smile.

"Yeah but I had decision to make,"

"Oh…you decided it?"

"Yeah…," I drawled off…was I ready to tell him?

"Well?" Rick got up and looked at me with a reassuring gaze.

"I want you," I smiled, and went to gently hug him round the middle.

He hugged me back and dragged back down on the bed with him as gazed lovingly into each other's eyes. But before I knew I felt Rick's lips against mine for the second time tonight. I tore my lips away as he started to devour my chest.

I playfully slapped his head away, "I thought you told me to get some sleep," I suggested, raising a seductive eyebrow.

He only rolled his eyes and then went back on his own side of the bed to sleep. Ilaughed before curling up to him.

Morning came and as morning came I knew it was time to get on my flight back to my home. I was glad, but also sad to be leaving Rick alone to battle out for the team. As I placed my bags in the boot someone came up behind me and patted a hand on my shoulder. I turned round to acknowledge them. It was Steve. I don't know whether I was going to get a thrashing or a nice goodbye from him.

He looked at me with a bored with expression, "I'm glad you made your decision,"

"How..?"

He halted me with his hand, "Save me from the lecture. I don't want to hear it. Have a good time with Rick when we come back ok?"

I could tell by the expression of his face that he was upset. Heartbroken. But I had made my choice. And it was time for Steve to move on.

"Thanks," I shook hands with him, "Maybe you can visit us sometime,"

He shook his head, "No. It would only remind of what I had, and what I lost,"

With that, he walked away from me as Rick was coming up to me on his side. They both shared a glance before Rick turned to see me again with a smile.

"Hey. You leaving?"

"Yup. Once I have said my goodbyes,"

Rick nodded. He then placed his hands on my hips and held me close. He gently placed his lips on mine. I could tell he was going to miss me. So he decided the last minutes were going to count.

A forced kiss stopped our kiss going deeper as I turned to see Eddy and Emily looking at me and Rick. I looked back at Rick and broke away from his hold and looked at Eddy and Emily.

"We just wanted to say goodbye," Emily said, then hugging her team captain tightly.

"See ya later buddy," Eddy slapped him on the back.

"Thanks guys,"

I looked up back at the hotel door and there, stood Steve. He was looking at me with a straight face before looking down to the floor with shame before he walked off.

"Oh well better get going. Don't wanna miss my plane," He smiled but inside, he was already breaking down.

"Mike? Remember our promise,"

I looked at Rick and nodded, "I'll be there,"

I got in the back of the taxi and watched my friends waving me bye. But for now, I was going home.

A another long chapter. Hmm, I wonder why I am making them longer. Probably cause I am bored to death most of the time that I need to write something. But a song inspired me to finish this chapter and post it. I thank you 'Simple and Clean' By Utada Hikaru! I worship you!

Next chapter will be my last and final for this story. Then I can get on with 'Vacation : Vampire' Woo!
