Two days later, Brian brought Brizee to his house. He went to
get her stuff and talk to Nick. Brizee settled in the bed in one of Brians guest rooms that he made up for her. She heard
a noise and looked and saw Kevin and AJ.
Briz, we dont hate you, you still have us, Kevin said.
Yeah, AJ said. They hugged her.
What about D? Brizee asked.
You still have him, too, Howie said coming in. He hugged her. She looked at them.
Thanks, guys, Brizee said. Brian came in with her stuff.
Nick said the marriage is over, and nothing will change his mind, Brian said.
Hes being stubborn, AJ said.
Brizee, we will talk to him, Kevin said.
Just forget it, he saw me kissing his brother, Jane wants me to stay away from them, Brizee said.
Briz, dont give up, Kevin said.
I dont have a choice, Nick said its over, Brizee said.
But the marriage cant be annulled, or ended, Brian said.
But its over, thats the main thing, Brizee said.
Briz, hell come around, Howie said.
How can you be sure of that, huh, his brother kissed me, I was so upset that I said he was happy that I lost the baby,
I was sorry for that, but he doesnt care anymore, can I rest now? Brizee said. Kevin, Howie, and AJ hugged her and left the
room. Brian tucked her in and hugged her and followed after them.
Three months went by. Brizee was still living with Brian. She
was home by herself while Brian was out with AJ and Kevin. She was in the laundry room, doing her laundry when she heard a
voice behind her.
What are you doing here, Nick said.
I am living here, Brizee said.
Why, Nick said.
Because Brian wanted me to live here, Brizee said.
Are you a couple? Nick asked.
No, Brizee said.
Sleeping together? Nick asked.
No, Brizee said. She felt his arms around her waist.
Good, because I want my wife back, Nick said.
Why, Brizee said.
Because I love you, and Im lost without you, I thought I could go on, but its too hard, Nick said resting his chin
on her shoulder.
Why do you want to be with me, Nick, I thought you didnt want anything to do with me because me and Aaron kissed, your
mother wants me to stay away from you and the family, Brizee said. Nick kissed her neck.
I dont care, I am not letting you go, and she cant make me, if she makes me choose, I will choose you, Nick said.
I cant let you do that, they are your family, I cant let you do that, Brizee said.
Briz, I dont care, if I dont have you, I dont have anything, I need you in my life, Nick said.
Nick, Brizee said.
I want to be with you, I want to hold you and kiss you, I want to feel your legs around me as Im making sweet tender
love to you, I want you to feel how much I love you, and someday feel our baby growing in here, Nick said as he put his hands
on her stomach. He kissed her shoulder.
Nick, Brizee said.
I need you, Brizee, I want to be with you forever, Nick said turning her around to face him. He stroked her cheek with
his hand. She looked up at him.
