What happened?

Nich tended to the flowers in his garden. it was something he loved doing and made him feel at ease whenever he was upset or down. it gave him happiness and watching the fresh flowers bloom brought smiles and hope to him.

As he trimmed off the bad leaves, he turned abrupt on sensing the footsteps from behind. He was scared and for a moment froze.

He turned to meet a young lady in tears. someone whose pain he could feel, like it was his own. He didn't know why but he was drawn to her - naturally.

Her eyes were swollen from tears. she had been crying for too long. she walked towards him, giving him a deep hug.

Nich's eyes pooped as the feel of her body was on him. He felt sparks of current run quickly down his spine. For the first time ever, he felt different while hugging a woman. His heart beat increased by a thousand fold.

Her body was hot and he could sense she had running fever. what on earth happened? He could sense something was wrong, yet he wondered why something happened in the first place. Is James in trouble?

He patted her softly and she drained her tears on his shirt. Sniffing as she cried, she argued with her thoughts. how could James do this to her???

The constant stroking of her hair by Nich's hands made her more comfortable and she relaxed more. He looked at the young lady who had already fallen asleep in his arms.

He chuckled, at least she was alright. slowly, his fingers ran through her face. she had the softest cheeks ever even with the bruises present and her lips was just....

He shook his head "what am I thinking?...joy would get mad at me...oh my gosh! but she's just so appealing...."

He scolded himself as he picked her up in bridal style. His hands on her thighs, made him uncomfortable and he tried to control his urges.

"damn it!" he muttered under his breath trying to avert his mind from her. He cried her to his room.

::::::::::::::

Nich lowered her gently on his soft bed. she yawned slightly, turning over to the other side of the bed there by exposing too much skin. Nich gulped hard.

He touched his chest and noticed his heart was betraying him. "Do you have to beat that fast? what if you end up in my stomach?..."

she was clearly a temptation and he could feel his erection. in confusion he scratched his head while pondering on what to do next. He knew something was wrong for joy to have cried that way.

He sat on the sofa not too far from the bed. He watched her snore gently and chuckled as she stretched out her legs. she was really funny while sleeping.

Nich smiled. This was the one and only woman who had rejected his love a thousand times. For some reason, he wasn't annoyed...who would want to date a Casanova anyway? But it still felt strange that he desires her.

She looked peaceful and beautiful on the bed but her eyes were still swollen due to tears. Nich frowned. He couldn't wait to teach whoever it was a lesson.

He walked towards his cupboard to get an ointment. He would apply it for her when she awakens, it would help heal the little bruises on her cheeks. "she must have received a slap too" he assumed.

He thought it was wise to make dinner so she could have something to eat. it was late already and it bored him that James hadn't called.

Turning off the lights, he exited.
