It was just what I needed, when he kissed me; just the thing to catch him off guard and flip him over so I was the one in control of the situation. He tickled me, Joe didn't help…he really wasn't much help just being around, to be honest. OH god, those lips were heaven. I straddled Kevin's lap, my lower half over his as my thighs lightly hugged his, my hands pinning his wrists firmly above his head as my lips now assaulted his. I didn't want to hurt him, hearing him let out a noise, and I furrowed my brow, thinking perhaps I caused him pain.

Oh…that wasn't pain.

"Oh…" I gasped as I broke the kiss, hearing the doorbell when I slightly moved in Kevin's lap. There is was, the slight sound but it was covered up quickly before I could gather what it was exactly because I immediately heard Joe bound to the door and Aileen saying something to Joe in a stern tone before the sound of lips locked filled the room and Frankie going 'Eww' and complaining to mom about it up the stairs. It's not like I didn't love my family, and I didn't hate Aileen…but I honestly swear they have THEE worst timing ever in the history of ever…timing…yeah.

"Nick, get up." Kevin whispered quickly as the paddle of footsteps shuffled near the kitchen. I stumbled backwards and stood up helping Kevin up and grabbing the dishtowel off of the floor as the lovebirds came into the kitchen.

"Hi." Aileen said a little flushed. I rolled my eyes and gave a small snort of laughter.

"Hi Aileen." Kevin nodded at her and Joe before turning for the sink…there was one dish left and it was a fork, so he quickly washed it and I dried it with a paper towel before following Kevin out of the kitchen with the dirty dishtowel and my now slightly throbbing crapped side.

I was not exactly lying when I said Kevin was hurting me…I mean I know it really wasn't him! It was just because of laughing so hard, the cramping…I mean. I know Kevin would have seriously stopped if I were really in severe pain, especially if HE was causing it…well, if it was not in intentional I mean.

What am I even talking about…wait not I'm thinking…wait…ugh

"Nick?"

I'm talking, arguing, debating with myself SO much it's no wonder people must look at me weird half the time, I must look like an idiot, I'm surprised I don't walk into something.

"Nick!"

"OW!"

That was a door…

"Man, what is up with you?"

"Sorry…" I blushed as I backed up from the hallway closet while Joe, Aileen, and everyone upstairs gave me the oddest look ever.

"Sweetie…you coming down with something?"

"No mom." I smiled quickly. "Just tired…to much food, you know what it does to me…"

I waited for her nod before I looked at Kevin, who stood nearest me.

"Oh, Kevin, son, can I talk to you?"

Oh, no…dad was going to go into the talks again…he did this usually before any show we went onto…which usually was a lot…especially when we were on tour…

"Yes, sir."

Our dad smiled…Kevin followed him to the study to talk…Joe and Aileen went to his room…mom and Frankie went downstairs…and I was left alone in the hallway.

"Great…alone." I hated being alone. Okay that was a lie, I loved to be alone, when I could…but now…I just wanted to be alone with Kevin. Oh well…beggars can't be choosers…what am I even talking about!

"Shut up!" I hissed at myself aloud. "God this is ridiculous I'm ARGUING with myself."

Sigh. I know, I'll take a shower…then I was out…out of my clothes and running to the bathroom to take my shower. OH, that cold water felt so good right now…just what I needed to cool down my…issues.

"Nicky, sweetie, it's 6:55, we're all going out for ice cream and maybe rent a movie…do you want to come along?"

"No, I'll stay here, thanks though."

"Would you like us to bring you anything?"

"Um, yeah…usual."

"Okay sweetie, love you!"

"I love you to mom!"

Silence. Well all but the heavenly water powering onto my skin. I switched the water warm and soaked in it for a good five minutes before washing and getting out, and wrapping a towel around my waist before exiting for my room. The thought of Kevin not being here made me kind of sad…well it usually did anyway, even when I was upset with him. What was that…I heard a small click as I moved for my door…every one was supposed to be out getting ice cream…oh, dammit nick you are just being paranoid again. STOP IT! I continued to enter my room, opening the door and closing it slightly behind me, I hadn't even noticed Kevin's door was closed to his room, when our doors were closed all the way it usually meant we were occupying them. I sighed and dropped my towel, moving for my dresser.
