“Well..” said Brian as Aimee looked up over at him and smiled.

“Yeah, so.. classes start tomorrow.” said Nick as Brian looked back at him.

“Really.. that’s cool.” said Howie.

“Yeah..” said Nick as he started to scratch his head, “So what’s up…. I mean what’s the real reason you came?”

“I just felt like comin’ to see ya buddy.. I came down to D’s.. I was gonna go to Kev’s but.. him and Kristin are still actin’ like honeymooner’s.” said Brian.

“I’m sorry man… I swear I am.” said Nick, “One weekend, me and you are gonna get fucked up okay?”

“Alright.” said Brian as he smiled, “D.. we better go.” as he looked over at Aimee who was sitting there at her computer now, “Don’t wanna get Nick in trouble or anything.”

“Okay then..” said Howie as he hugged Nick, “See ya later okay. Call sometime.”

“I will.” said Nick as he hugged Brian, “You take it easy.. call me day or night okay.”

“I will… nice to meet you Aimee.” said Brian as Aimee turned around, smiling and waved back .

“You too.” said Aimee as Brian and Howie smiled, walking out of the room, “Well well well.. I have three Backstreet Boys in my bedroom.” as Nick started to laugh, walking over to the McDonald’s bag.

“I got us some food.” said Nick as Aimee got up and walked over to the bag and almost started to fight Nick for the large fries, “Damn girl stop!” as he started laughing.

“I like my fries.” said Aimee as she grabbed them from him and he looked over at her, “What did you get on my burger?”

“Plain.. I got some packets of ketchup, maynoaise, and mustard in here if you want any of that.” said Nick.

“Thanks.” said Aimee as Nick handed her the cheeseburger.

“You’re welcome.” said Nick as Aimee walked over to her bed and started to eat. He just stood there watching her a minute and then started to eat himself.

“I can still remember how she was sitting over on her bed eating… just like it was yesterday.” said Nick as he stood there talking to the bartender.

“A female roommate…. can’t get much luckier than that.” said the bartender, “Would you like a refill?”

“Sure.” said Nick as the bartender took his glass, filling it back up, “It was weird at first.. you couldn’t walk around naked.. you couldn’t look at porn or any of that stuff… you had a girl in the room with ya….. but it had it’s good spots. She cleaned… kept me looking nice. Let me know when I needed to shave or needed a haircut.” as the bartender laughed, “She was really smart…. whenever I had a problem with homework.. I would always go to her and sometimes she didn’t know. She hated math just like me.”

“Something in comman..” said the bartender.

“Math brought us together… god.. did it..” said Nick as he started to laugh, taking a sip of his beer. He sat there looking around and then started to think back, “December past.. and that next semester we stayed roommates… then that cold January night…. I was trying to do my homework…”

“Why the fuck do we have to do all these numbers if this is not what we go for?” asked Nick as Aimee looked over at him sitting at his desk, “I don’t get this crap.”

“You know it would be alot easier if we had the same classes.” said Aimee as Nick looked over at her sitting on her bed.

“Yeah I guess so…. I knew I wasn’t cut out for this shit.. Kevin told me…” said Nick as he started to twirl the pencil around in his hand.

“You passed everything with A’s first semester…. damn. Bring it over here..” said Aimee as she sat down on the edge of her bed and Nick brought his book and notebook over and sat down beside her.

“This.. now how the hell do you do this problem?” asked Nick as Aimee looked at it and he looked over at her. He just sat there and watched her a minute while she was doing funny expressions on her face, thinking, “See you don’t know either.”

“No..” said Aimee as she looked at him, “I’m not good in math.. I got all my math credits transfered from the college courses I took in high school.”

“I knew I wasn’t cut out for this shit.” said Nick as he walked back over to his desk, slamming his book down and sat there twirling his pencil around again.

“Damn boy..” said Aimee as she got up and walked over to him, leaning over and started writing something down on a peice of paper as Nick looked over at her, watching her tuck her hair behind her ears, “See like that… see… Nick..” as she looked over to see him looking at her, “What?”

“I dunno..” said Nick as he moved his head closer to hers until their lips met and they began to kiss.

“Ni…” Aimee tried to say as Nick stood up really fast and started to kiss again, more intensly, backing up to his bad as Aimee stopped kissing him and put her hands on his chest, pushing him away a little, “What was that.. what the fuck was that?”

“I dunno… you didn’t like it?” asked Nick who was out of breath as he moved back closer to her, grabbing her arms to bring her back up to him and they began to kiss again when somebody knocked at the door.

“Go away!!” yelled Aimee inbetween kisses as she practically ripped Nick’s t-shirt off of him and he lifted her up over on the bed while they kept kissing, “What are we doing?” as Nick looked down at her, breathing heavily.

“I don’t know.” said Nick, “You object?”

“Hell no.” said Aimee as they continued to kiss and all of a sudden Aimee stopped.

“What’s wrong?” asked Nick as Aimee started to smile a little.

“Nothing… everything’s perfect.” said Aimee as she started to unbutton her shirt while Nick watched her and started kissing down her neck as she grabbed his face, bringing it back up to hers.

Aimee started to push his pants down but it was kind of hard when you were mouth to mouth with that person and wouldn’t dare stop kissing, so he began to help her with them. A few minutes later Nick undid her jeans, leaning up to slid them off and then slid her panties off leaving them both competely naked and looking at each other. They layed there a minute, maybe two, looking at each other, wondering what the other was thinking.

Without saying anything, Nick leaned down to kiss her and positioned himself over her. He opened his eyes looking at her to see that she looked like she was in pain.

Nick had his arms wrapped around hers, holding onto her shoulders and holding her up closer to him. They kept their lips close to each other so when they had to urge to kiss they could, plus Nick liked the feel of her moans against his lips. He picked up his pace a little more and could feel Aimee’s nails dig into his back a little while she was trying to hold on.

“Ni.. Nick..” said Aimee out of breath as she held her head back and Nick started to kiss up her neck.

“Yeah?” asked Nick.

“I love you…” said Aimee as she looked up at Nick and Nick looked up at her when they both felt a release. He leaned down and kissed her lightly, then stopped and looked at her again. He rolled off of her as he was trying to catch his breath.

They both layed there in bed, trying to regain their composure after what had just happened. They didn’t know why it happened, how it happened, or what was going to happen now. Nick didn’t even know why she just told him she loved him, but he didn’t care. He didn’t think it was going to be a night he would soon forget.

“Best night of my life…” Nick thought as he sat there with one hand around his beer and the other one holding the wedding band.

“So you two were together in the dormroom?” asked the bartender.

“Yeah…” said Nick as he smiled, “Don’t know why… don’t know how.. it just happened.”

“So.. what happened next?” asked the bartender as Nick layed the ring down on the counter, taking a big sip of his beer, finishing it up.

“Really wanna know?” asked Nick.

“Yeah…. sure.” said the bartender as Nick leaned his head back, “That Valentine’s day…” as he started to think back, “She had on that red dress…. then I found out a really really good secret that she had been hiding since August…” as he smiled.

“Yeah man.. I’ll see ya later.” said Nick as he walked up to his and Aimee’s dormroom after coming back from the basketball court with a guy named Michael that was in one of his classes.

“Later man.” said Michael as he turned around and started to laugh, “Don’t get too freaky tonight up in that room now.. it’s Valentine’s Day.” as Nick rolled his eyes.

“Dude come on… look who I’m living with… Mrs. Tom boy herself.” said Nick as he waved goodbye to Michael and unlocked the door. He walked in seeing Aimee standing there beside his bed wearing a little red dress and her hair pulled up on top of her head in curls. He walked in, shutting the door, and dropped his basketball on the floor all at the same time.

“Hi..” said Aimee as Nick stood there looking confused.

“Umm.. hi.” said Nick, “What’s this.. you got a date?”

“Maybe.” said Aimee as Nick walked over to his desk, taking his watch off.

“Who? That Mitchell guy?” asked Nick, “You know the one that is in my European Class that you like?”

“No…” said Aimee as Nick took off his sweaty t-shirt, throwing it over in the dirty clothes hamper and looked over at her.

“With who then?” asked Nick.

“I thought maybe you.” said Aimee as Nick looked at her.

“Me?” asked Nick as he started to laugh a little and looked over at her.

“Yeah well.. it’s Valentine’s day.” said Aimee.

“Yeah… it’s just another day of the year.” said Nick as he shrugged his shoulders and put his hand up over on his arm, covering up his tribal band tattoo, rubbing it, “So why’d you dress up?”

“Well.. I thought maybe we could go out or something since it’s Valentine’s Day.” said Aimee.

“Oh yeah we can go out.. rent a few video games, come back play them..” said Nick as Aimee looked at him.

“Video games?” asked Aimee.

“Okay we can play Mario Kart since you like that so much.” said Nick as Aimee was still looking at him in a dead stare, “What?”

“Nick.. what happened between us three weeks ago?” asked Aimee as Nick looked down and looked back over at her.

“We had sex.” said Nick.

“Sex?” asked Aimee, “I thought it was more than that.” as Nick started to laugh.

“That’s one of our songs man.” said Nick laughing as Aimee rolled her eyes.

“I meant.. I thought we made love.” said Aimee.

“Yeah if you want to call it that.” said Nick as Aimee picked up her jacket from her bed and put it on, “Where you going? If you’re going to go get somethin’ to eat.. get a pizza…”

“Get your own god damn pizza… I’m going out and having a good time.” said Aimee as she walked out, slamming the door.
