It's Thursday night, school starts back up again in three days. I'm not ready for it, honestly. Actually, when am i ever ready for school? I hate school with a passion. I love learning though, just the way they do it is awful.

I glance over at my clock, 8:36 is reads in bright red numbers.

"Nico should be here any minute." i say to myself. And sure enough, i hear the sound of tires pulling up on gravel and the noise of an engine suddenly cut off.

My parents aren't home, they usually aren't so it doesn't matter if he comes over or not, but even if they were home no on would care.

However Zeke is home. My older brother. He's about six foot and looks like a drug addict, which he is.

I run downstairs to open the door for Nico. His strong frame stands in the door way. His face is graced with a cheeky smile.

"Heyyyy" he say and quickly pulls me to him with his arm around my waist.

"Hey you" i smile and peck his nose.

"Enough small talk" he smirks and unexpectedly scoops me up and slings me over his shoulder. I squeak and laugh, his shoulder digging into my stomach.

"Nico!" I laugh and wiggling around.

"Not today, princess!" he chuckles and runs up the stairs to my room. He gently lays be down on my lavender bed and hovers over me, his elbows pressed into the mattress. I let my hands slither up slowly from his chest up to his cheeks then my arms extend out behind him. Our eyes meet and i am now locked in his gaze. His chocolate brown eyes study mine for a few minutes before a small grin creeps upon his face.

"What?" i ask softly but with a chuckle.

"Nothing, you're just so," he kisses me "damn" and again "perfect" and again.

I helplessly blush, Nico was my other half. My everything. He has helped me through a lot, more than anyone will know. We've been together for about four years and i love every moment of it.

After a lot more kissing and having pointless yet deep conversations, i take a glance at my clock again. It reads 12:57 am.

"Baby, it's late" I tell Nico who is laying down beside me, his arm under his head and eyes closed.

"Hmm?" he opens one eye and looks at me with a tired look.

"Time for bed sleepy head" i repeat and get up, "I'm going to take a shower." i say over my shoulder to him.

Nico Howell

"I'm going to take a shower." she says to me over my shoulder. He voice is so smooth, not too high, not too low.

"Alright, love." I say with a smile and catch a look of her face again. Her deep blue eyes shine in the weak lighting of her room, her lilac hair covering half of her face as well as her little nose piercing shows in the light.

I returned to my position, arm under my head, eyes closed. I couldn't stop thinking about Lola, even though its been about four days. But every time I thought about that night a wave of guilt would plunge over me.

The sound of the shower water running fills my mind so i decide to go through Kai's clothing in search for the drawer where she keeps some spare clothing for me. I manage to find boxers, really the only thing i needed. I quickly change and toss my clothing by her dresser and return to bed.

Kai returns in a pair of old short shorts and a loose t-shirt. God, she is so hot. Her lilac hair is pulled back into a high pony tail, all of her ear piercings are visible, four on each side.

"You're staring at me." she states with a smirk and one eyebrow lifted.

"Yes, i am, because i like what i see." i reply.

"okay Mr." she says. I notice her eyes trail off from my face to my abs, of course. Seconds later she moves towards me and flops down onto the bed on her stomach. I pull the string on her lamp sitting on the maple wood night stand by her bed, engulfing us is darkness.

I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her towards me. She rests her forehead against my chest and her hands pressed gently just below her forehead. She smells like a tropical lotion that you'd get from Bath and Body Works.

"I love you, Kai." i whisper and kiss the top of her head.

"I love you too, Nico."

And we conquered the night in a peaceful slumber.
