Alices cheeks started to turn red. She was so cute when she was blushing. He traced his hands through her hair. Hed quit listening to Whit. Whit shouldnt be telling Alice this; everything she knew didnt need to be known by Alice. Of course, Nic should have been more careful about who he told everything to. But most people didnt believe anything Whit said. Alice covered her face with her hands and Nic could only guess what garble was pouring from his sisters mouth. He kissed down across her fingers.

She clutched at his shirt. Yum. Her hair smelled very nice. His face buried in to it. He had to get her out of here, somewhere private. Not that with the help of Whitney he would be getting to snog her today. He could vaguely hear his sister still rambling in the background. But his lips were doing most of his thinking. They were kissing the top of her head, and moving down the side of her head, to her cheek. He had to stop, theyd told Whitney they wouldnt. He had to get her out of here. Hed finally returned his attention to his sister to hear her finish her rambling.

Im sorry, dearest, I didnt understand. I didnt mean to upset Whitney.


They were kissing again. Nic slid one hand behind her head, keeping her in their kiss a little longer than he should have. He pulled away from her before Whit started paying attention to them instead of her whole stupid rambling. I know. He kissed her, lightly. Its not your fault. And it wasnt he rested his forehead against hers, his arms tight around her waist.

Whiney was continuing her babbling, not looking at them yet. I mean its none of my business what you and Nic do but if the two of you want to and I mean it doesnt matter to me Alice is an alright girl. She said with a bit of a nod, Just dont mess this up. Whitney gave a brief glance around. She felt vaguely like it was time for her to leave. Perhaps she should let them be alone shed messed things up enough for one day.

Nic, who spoke fluent Whit-ese understood that she was giving her approval, reluctantly, but giving it none the less. He grinned at Whitney, and untwined his arms from Alice. Pulled his sister by the arm, and kissed her on the cheek. Thank you, little sister.

She pushed him away. No pretending like you know me in public. She rolled her eyes. And pushed her seat away from the table. Shed opened her mouth to say something but Alice started first. So, Whit shut up. She really should leave. But she wasnt going to go till Nic said it was ok. Which of course it was.

If I had looked forward to one at our coming, I am desperate for one now.


Nic grinned at her. Of course, Love. He gave her a small peck on the cheek. And brushed her hair away from her ear, whispering to her, his lips hovering just above her skin. Im desperate to get you alone. Take your tea to go? He ran his hand up her thigh, and raised his eyebrows at her. If she and Whitney were done fighting, he might as well try and make it up to Alice, if she let him. Of course, knowing her, she had a billion questions to ask now, which would put off his fun for a good while.
