When Nicole woke up the next morning it felt like her head was split in two. She had no memory of how she got back to her room. She was just glad she was fully dressed. She saw aspirin and a cup of water on the nightstand. She took it. When she went to get up she saw the hole in her jeans and bandage on her knee.

"How did that happen?" She thought.

When Nicole got up to go to the bathroom, she was confused when she found a blanket and pillow on the couch but the living room empty. Suddenly she remembered something.

Flashback

Nicole was laying on her side in bed.

"Max, I'm gonna throw up." He brought in the bathroom trash can and sat her up. He held her hair while she puked... That's all she could remember.

After getting out of the shower Nicole got dressed. She wore a lace knee-length skirt to cover the bruise on her right knee. Nicole's phone rang. It was Wendy Nicole was explaining what happened.

"You were drinking?" Wendy said surprised. "You haven't drank for a long time."

"I know." "I just saw the wedding dress in the display window." "It reminded me of what happened and I got really sad."

"Are you alright now?"

"Yeah." "It was just a bad day." "Max saw me throw up." "I know he'll find a way to use it against me."

Max and Austin were working out.

"Ow!" Max said.

"What's up?"

"I have a kink in my neck from sleeping on Christiansen's couch last night."

"Um, what?"

"When I was walking back to my room last night, I found her sitting on the floor in the hall" "She was trashed." "I noticed her knee was bleeding." "She told me she fell in the parking lot." "I helped her up." "After I cleaned her knee I helped her to her bed, where she kissed me." He tried to hide his smirk but Austin saw it.

"What was that?"

"What?"

"That smirk."

"I didn't smirk."

"Yeah, ok."

"We did start kissing but I knew it wasn't right to do it."

"You couldn't do it because you care about her."

"No."

"Yes."

"Dude, you know I hate that bitch."

"Then why did you stay with her."

"It was the right thing to do."

"And you did that for a woman you hate?"

"Shut up."

Later that night Nicole and Max had decided to work on the piece. They'd both gotten back to the hotel at the same time. They were waiting for the elevator.

"You're not gonna throw up again are you?" He asked.

"Shut up." The elevator dinged and they got on. She pushed the button for her floor. The doors closed and they started going up. About five seconds passed. "Fuck."

"What?"

"I left my phone in the car."

"Nice going."

"Don't start." The elevator suddenly stopped. "No." She pushed a few buttons. "It's stuck."

Max started pushing buttons. "It's stuck."

"No shit."

"Go to hell bitch."

"Well no one's on the level of the devil."

He rolled his eyes. "Real cute Christiansen."

"Where's your phone?"

"In my room."

"Great."

A half hour passed and they were still stuck.

"Max all I remember last is throwing up and you being there." "We didn't um...

"No, but you wanted to."

"You liar."

"You kissed me."

"I did not."

"You did so." "You said the beard I grew was sexy, then you kissed me."

"I would never kiss you."

"You did." "We were on the bed and you moaned." "Oh Max."

"Now I know that's a fucking lie."

"You wanted me last night Christiansen." "I could've fucked you into oblivion last night, and you were gonna let me."

She rolled her eyes. "Even if that were true, if you call a minute in a half fucking me into oblivion, ha ha."

"Just because that's what you're used to, doesn't mean everyone's a one pump chump."

"At least whenever I have sex with someone, I don't look down and say that's it."

"You couldn't handle me Christiansen, though you were begging me for it last night."

"Like I'd ever want that thing." "I'm done with your lying ass." She turned away from him.

He turned her around. "I'm a liar huh?"

"Yeah."

"Maybe this will spark your memory, you bitch." He kissed her. She kissed him back. They both liked it. It became more intense by the second. He backed her up the wall. He moved to the side of her neck. "So you never moaned my name, I bet I can make you do it again." "I never would in a million years." Nicole said. He ran her hand up her leg. Goosebumps formed on her skin. His hand went under her skirt. He took off her panties and put them in his jeans pocket, putting his hand back under her skirt. He slipped his hand inside her moving it slowly. She shut her eyes and moaned lowly. "Does that feel good Christiansen?" He asked. "Fuck you, mmmmm." "One thing at a time." They kissed. "Ahhhh." She moaned in pleasure he gradually went faster. He chuckled. "Say it." "No." They kissed. "Say it." "Mm-mm, mmmmm." "Still no Christiansen?" He went faster. "Oh my god." She moaned loudly. "Come on, say it." "I know you're close, in more ways then one." They kissed. She did want to say it but she wasn't giving him the satisfaction. "And I'm, the one getting you there." He said in-between kisses. "Ohhhh... She said biting down on her lip and she gave in making sure not to give him what he wanted. After a few seconds he took his hand out. Then the elevator started moving. It dinged for her floor.

"We'll work tomorrow." She said quickly getting off the elevator knowing if she didn't, he'd go back to room with her and they wouldn't be working. They'd be having sex. Max couldn't believe it happened but he wanted a lot more. They both went back to their rooms and took cold showers.
