Episode 15

Nickolas.....

Oh, if this brunette knew what she does to me, she certainly wouldn't be wearing a bikini that size. I'm having to use all my self-control to hold back Axel, who's so crazy he looks like he's never seen a female in his life.

Talking to her is nice, the conversation flows so naturally. I love how direct she is, and I'm finding myself more and more enchanted by this girl.

When she asked me if I wanted to, of course I told her the truth. She gave a beautiful smile and turned to look at Zara and Brad who were chatting animatedly. I've already noticed my sister has a crush on him. I know we can't have relationships with humans, but I just can't find it wrong if they have a relationship. I also don't see anything wrong with dating Melinda. In fact, everything seems so right. I feel strange when I think about it, but it's like we've finally found our mates...

I stare at Melinda's mouth as she calls me. I need to kiss her, but first I have to be alone with her.

Nickolas - I'd love to show you a place.

Melinda - What place?

Nickolas - Do you like flowers?

Melinda - I'm in love with everything about nature.

I stand up and hold out my hand to her.

Nickolas - Then come with me, you'll love it.

She takes my hand and stands up.

Melinda - But won't they miss us?

Nickolas - Look at them, do you really think they're watching us here?

Melinda - Not at all, lol.

She puts on her beach cover-up and follows me. I'm taking her to see the greenhouse that was my mother's pride and joy. When we get there, she is enchanted by the variety of plants and flowers.

Melinda - It's beautiful.

Nickolas - It was my mother's favorite place. She took care of everything so diligently. If she wasn't inside the house, we could come straight here and she would be sitting there at that table reading a book.

Melinda - And you've kept everything so well.

Nickolas - A gardener comes to take care of everything. I like to keep it alive in memory of my mother, and she's quite capable of coming back to pull my leg if I let any of her plants die, lol.

I look at her looking at me with admiration and I can see her emotion.

Melinda - You're certainly a great son, your parents would be proud. Zara always tells us how wonderful a brother you are and how well you take care of her and your brother.

She turns and sniffs a rose. I can't hold back anymore. I go up to her and hug her from behind, putting my arms around her waist. I rest my head in the crook of her neck and smell her neck and her hair. She doesn't reject me. On the contrary, she holds my hand and leans her body against my chest. I feel like I have found my home. Her smell is a little stronger, but it continues to be mixed with lotus flower. It's not a bad thing, on the contrary, it awakens something in me that I can't explain.

Nickolas - Would it be too strange to ask you for a kiss now?

Melinda - Of course not.

I turn her to me, and put our lips together. The kiss starts slow and gains speed. She wraps her arms around my neck. I have one hand on her waist and the other on the back of her neck, lightly pulling her hair. The kiss is giving me feelings I've never had before. I could kiss this woman for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.

Melinda....

Okay, so I haven't kissed many guys in my life, but this kiss is driving me crazy. I think I've found my new addiction, and by the looks of it, he's feeling the same way, because we can't seem to get enough of each other. The kiss is getting more intense, it feels like we need each other.

After a while, we managed to stop, our breathing is accelerated. I feel in a trance, we remain clinging to each other, he is looking deep into my eyes, trying to regulate his breathing.

Nickolas - That was a lot better than I expected.

Melinda - It certainly exceeded all my expectations, lol.

He hugs me, kisses my neck, caresses my back, and we start kissing again, and I can say it was better than the first. We end up with him giving me little kisses.

Nickolas - What are you doing to me, Melinda?

Melinda - Maybe the same thing you're doing to me, Nickolas.

He gives a beautiful smile that would melt anyone.

Nickolas - I'm glad we're on the same page (and gives me a little kiss).

Melinda - I think we'd better go before they miss us and come looking for us.

Nickolas - Wait just a little longer (he grabs me again and smells my neck). I need to calm down, I can't appear like this in front of my sister.

His friend is about to explode, and I feel happy to have caused this effect on him. After the rejection, it's good to feel desired by someone. And speaking of rejection, it doesn't hurt anymore, being close to Nick makes the pain stop. This is certainly going to complicate things, but I don't want to think about that right now, I just want to enjoy this freedom I'm feeling....

Nick manages to calm down and we leave the greenhouse chatting. When we get to the pool, Brad and Zara are kissing. I look at Nick, who has a funny face.

Melinda - You're not going to freak out, are you?

Nickolas - I don't think so, I just need to get used to all of this.

Melinda - Let's not interrupt them, let's go to the kitchen and get something to drink.

I pull Nick into the kitchen, he grabs a whiskey and I grab a juice. He's trying to play it cool, but I can see he's worried, and I try to reassure him.

Melinda - You don't need to worry, I've known Brad my whole life and he's a wonderful guy and he'll never hurt Zara.

Nickolas - I feel like he's a good guy, but it's..... Complicated.

He's apprehensive, like he's keeping something to himself, but I bet it's nothing compared to our secret.....

It's not long before Brad and Zara appear in the kitchen looking like the most innocent people in the world.

Zara - Where did you two go? We were looking for you.

I can't help it and I start laughing.

Melinda - I'm sure I wasn't inside Brad's mouth, lol.

Zara and Brad pretend not to understand. Seriously, these two deserve an Oscar.

Nickolas - I was showing Melinda Mom's greenhouse and when we got back, we saw you two making out by the pool, and Melinda dragged me in here so we wouldn't disturb you.

The two of them look like two naughty children who have just been caught making a mess.

Zara - And what were you two doing in the greenhouse?

Nickolas - The same thing you and Brad were doing by the pool, so does anyone want ice cream?

Melinda - I do.

I raise my hand, he smiles at me and walks to the freezer to get the ice cream. Zara stands beside Brad staring at Nick, as if she's expecting a reprimand or something.

Nickolas - Do you two want ice cream, too, or are you just going to stand there?

They approach, we get our ice creams and go back to the pool because the sun is still shining....
