The next morning John woke up. He looked at Brie the woman he loved and was finally back with. He stroked her hair. That woke her up. She looked at him.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi." They kissed. "Come home with me this weekend."
"Boy you don't waste any time do you?"
"No."
"Ok."
"Maybe we can sleep in front of the fireplace."
"Sleep or have sex?"
"Both."
"Alright." Brie sighed.
"What?"
"Well like I said about Nikki, she's finally starting to thaw now I have to hit her with this."
"Do you regret getting back together with me?"
"Of course not." "I love you." "I know Nikki still loves you."
"I was hoping she'd be over it by now." "It's been almost a year."
"I know but she always thought you were the one."
"Well I'm not at least not for her."
"I'm not letting her find out about us from someone else again." "I'm taking her to lunch today and I'm gonna tell her."
Brie and John got up and dressed. She walked him to the door.
"I'll call you later." John said.
"Ok." "I love you."
"I love you too." They kissed. "Bye."
"Bye." John left.
Brie took out her cell phone and dialed Nikki's number.
"Hello?" Nikki said.
"Hi Nikki."
"Hey Brie."
"Wanna do lunch today?" "My treat."
"Ok." "I'll meet you in the lobby at one."
"Alright bye."
"Bye."
Brie and Nikki went to a restaurant and were eating lunch.
"Nikki there's something I need to talk to you about." Brie said.
"What?"
"I know this will be hard for you to accept." "John and I are back together."
"I'm outta here." She stood up.
"Nikki sit down." "I wanna talk about this."
"No damn it." "I love him."
"I love him to." "And I love you."
"Whatever."
"Nikki." Nikki picked up her tea and threw it in Brie's face. She walked away.
