After the movie had finished Nick told Zara to go and get ready for bed and pick a book for bed. Can I have 2 books tonight daddy? He sighed, no; you know the rule is only one book from mummy or daddy he said. But I want you to read me a book and Amanda to read me a book. Nick looked at Amanda with a help me face. Amanda laughed, Ok just this once Zara OK? I'll read you a story then Daddy will read you a story while I tidy up. Deal? Zara beamed a big grin, yes, I promise just this one time. Ok then, off you go and get ready for bed, I'll be in, in a minute. She ran into the bathroom to brush her teeth. Nick pulled Amanda close again and whispered thank you mi cariño. She looked at him, put her hand on his cheek and kissed him. You're welcome baby she whispered. She got up and went into the bedroom. Ok missy she said; let's get these pyjamas on and into bed. 10 minutes later after reading her a story Zara lay talking to Amanda, I like you being daddy's girlfriend she said, Amanda laughed, so do I she said smiling. And I've loved spending time with you this weekend she told her. Me too said Zara. And you've been so well behaved for me and your daddy; you think you can do the same for your mummy when Nathan is visiting? Zara looked at her, but I don't love Nathan, I don't want to she said. Amanda smiled, that's OK you don't have to love me or Nathan, but can you try to behave like you have for me and daddy for your mum? Ok she said, I'll try really hard she said. That's all we want you to do she said, just give it a go. She kissed her forehead. But Amanda, I love you. Amanda smiled aw I love you too she said. Amanda kissed her goodnight and gave her a hug. See you in the morning honey she said, And she walked out to the living room again. She sat on the couch where Nick and Gil were and hit his leg, your turn she said smiling. He got up and went into Zara. 10 minutes later he returned to the couch, peace and quiet he sighed smiling at Gil. Gil laughed, do I have to go to bed yet he asked? No, Nick said, you have another hour or so. Here you can play on my phone if you want, thanks dad he smiled. He took the phone and went to the kitchen table. Nick sat back on the couch and sighed, come here mi cariño, I need a cuddle he smiled. She moved over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. You know what we need for the new house he said. What? she asked. One of those corner couches where we can both lie on the side. She looked up at him. Yep, we definitely need one of those, he smiled and kissed her. Hey, let me see your phone a minute he said. She looked at him puzzled, and he smiled, I'll show you mine later, I just want to check yours for something. She gave it to him and told him the code. He smiled when she said what it was, she blushed and said, the best night of my life, and the start of a new one she said as she kissed him again. He opened the gallery and looked at the photos and found the ones that Gil had taken. He smiled we need to get these printed off. She looked at him and he pulled her closer to show her the photos. There were some of him pushing Zara on the swings, the selfie of her and Gil, and some lovely ones of Nick and Amanda walking hand in hand, hugging by the lake, and kissing. Oh wow she said, they're great photos she said. Nick grinned, yeah, you should see the ones on my phone he said, I printed them off yesterday, I want to put them in an album. Nick, I love them she whispered, me too he said, I'm thinking of getting him a phone with a camera so he can take more photos, I'll have to talk to his mum 1st though. Or he can have it just when he's here with us. It's his birthday next month so maybe I'll get him that or a camera for his present he whispered. She looked at them again, I want some of these put up in the house she said. He smiled, me too and he kissed her again. I've said he will have to take some other pictures for the new house. Absolutely she said. They lay there cuddling for a while watching some TV. Gil appeared beside them and gave Nick his phone back. Hey mate he said, thanks. He then said, we were just looking at your photos on Amanda's phone he smiled. Gil blushed, Amanda sat up and said, Gil they are beautiful, thank you she said. He blushed more, you're very talented, I think we'll have to give you a job of taking some pictures for the new house she smiled. He grinned, yeah, he said, I will. They sat talking for a while then Gil said I'm going to bed. He walked over and gave Nick a kiss and hug goodnight, then the same to Amanda. See you in the morning they both said as he walked into the room. They both settled down on the couch again and Nick showed her the photos Gil had taken. Amanda was smiling, honestly Nick we have to get him some sort of a camera. Yeah, we will. I'll speak to Cynthia when they leave tomorrow. As she handed him his phone back he said, you know what, I need to change my code so you know how to get into my phone, Nick you don't have to, no he said, I want to mi amor, he set it to the same as hers. There, we're both the same and no-one else knows it. She kissed him and things started to get heated. Pitching a tent down here Nick? she grinned, well, what can I say, you have me like this he grinned. Well, you'll have to wait a bit longer baby she said, let's make sure Gil's sleeping 1st before we get busy, aww you serious Rollins? Yeah Amaro, she smiled and kissed him again, I am. She rolled on top of him, so she was lying on him. She put her head on his shoulder and started to gently kiss his neck. He brought his hand up to her hair and started to massage her head, he kissed her head and whispered Amanda, this is perfect, you're perfect he smiled. I love you so much. She kissed his cheek and moved around to his mouth I love you more she whispered. He switched the tv off. We don't need that on he said, I'd rather just focus on you, but I'll stick this on he said and reached for his phone and put on "their song" as they lay there holding each other.

There's something in your eyes,
makes me wanna lose myself,
makes me wanna lose myself,
in your arms.
There's something in your voice,
makes my heart beat fast,
hope this feeling lasts, for the
rest of my life.
If you knew how lonely my life has been,
and how low I've felt for so long.
If you knew I've wanted someone to come along,
and change my life the way you've done.

CHORUS
Feels like home to me,
feels like home to me,
feels like I'm all the way back where I come from.
Feels like home to me,
feels like home to me,
feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.

She sighed as they lay listening and kissing each other. You know he said, as the song continued playing, I've honestly never heard a song so perfect before, she lifted her head and said, I know. He smiled again and pulled her in for a deeper kiss. Coming up for air she could feel his erection poking between her legs, He turned them onto their sides his arm still around her, we definitely have to get a bigger couch, he whispered. She laughed, yeah, we do. We will have to see about going out to look at those soon he said, and our bed. She smiled again we can do it one night this week if we finish early enough. Can't wait he said. He smiled and kissed her again. Zara was telling me she made you a promise tonight. Did she? She told me she made you a promise too. Really? he laughed. She told me she was glad I was your girlfriend she laughed, I'm glad too he replied grinning and kissed her, yeah so am I she laughed. We were just talking about how we've had a good weekend, and how she has been so good for me and you, so I asked her if she can do the same for her mum when Nathan visits. Nick looked at her Really. Well yeah, she said, if Maria finds out how she has taken to me so well and isn't playing you up and misbehaving then she's going to hit the roof, and I don't want to see angry or stressed out Nick again she whispered and kissed his lips softly. I only need to see that Nick in work, not at home. She pecked his lips again and he pulled her closer and sighed, I don't want that either. He pulled back, thank you he smiled. You don't mind I talked about it with her? No, he said, as I've already told you mi cariño, you've been great with them this weekend, and going to be a great mum and he kissed her again.
