Three weeks went by. The guys were back on the road. Brizee
watched Nick as he played his play station. She sat behind him and rubbed his shoulders. She kissed his neck.
Nick, Brizee said.
Yeah, baby, Nick said.
I love you, Brizee said.
I love you, too, Nick said. She ran her hands down his chest.
I want you, Brizee said kissing his neck.
I want you, too, Im trying to play this game, Nick said.
But I want you, Brizee said.
I know, baby, and I want you, too, but I want to finish this game first, Nick said. She moved around and straddled
his lap.
Its now or never, Nick, Brizee said kissing him deeply. He pulled back and saw that the game was over.
Dammit, Brizee! Nick said throwing the controller down.
What is more important, your wife or a game! Brizee said getting up.
What is that suppose to mean! Nick said.
You figure it out! Brizee said walking up front. The bus came to a stop in front of the hotel. Brizee grabbed her bags
and got off and walked inside. Brian came in.
Brizee, what is going on, Brian said.
Can you get me a room for myself, Brizee said.
Briz, why, Brian said.
Because I cant be near Nick right now, Brizee said.
Why not, Brian said.
Its complicated, Brian, please, just get me my own room, please, Brizee said.
Okay, Brian said. He went to the front desk. Nick came up to her and she turned away from him.
Lets go, Nick said.
Im getting my own room, Brizee said.
No you arent, you are coming with me, Nick said.
Dont tell me what to do, Im getting my own room, get away from me, Brizee said. Brian came over.
Briz, there arent any rooms left, Brian said.
Oh great, Brizee said. Brian handed her his key.
Nick, you and I are sharing a room, Briz, you can have my suite, Brian said. Brizee went to the elevators.
Brian, Nick said.
Nick, just leave it alone, well talk about it, okay, Brian said. They went up to the suite. Nick put his stuff down
and sat down. Brian sat down.
Now what is going on, Brian said.
She wanted to make love, I was playing my playstation, she was trying to seduce me but I wanted to play a game and
she got in front of me and I lost the game and I got all mad and she asked what was more important, her or a game, she is
being selfish, she thinks my world revolves around her, Nick said.
Nick, she is your wife, maybe she is feeling the lost of the baby and wants to start again, Brian said. Nick looked
at him.
Why do you always stick up for her, Nick said.
Nick, stop it, okay, you two are my best friends, Im trying to make some sense here, Brian said.
She just drives me crazy! Nick said.
Nick, you are in love with her, and she is in love with you, you two are meant for each other, Brian said.
She is being selfish, Nick said.
Nick, she thinks your games are more important than spending any time with her, Brian said.
She knows shes more important than any game, Nick said.
Maybe you should tell her that, Brian said. Nick went out the door and knocked on the door of Brizees suite. She opened
the door and saw him.
Im sorry, Nick said.
I dont want to talk to you right now, Brizee said.
Brizee, you are more important to me than any game, Im sorry for what happened on the bus, I want to be with you, and
I want to hold you and never let go, please, come back to me, Nick said. Brizee looked at him and shut the door in his face.
Nick went back to his room and slammed the door.
What happened, Brian said.
She shut the door in my face, Nick said.
Did you apologize? Brian asked.
Yes, Nick said. He sat down. Brian went out the door. He came back a few minutes later.
You blew it, Brian said.
I know, Nick said. Brian sat down.
