Falling Too Deep

Chapter 13

"Aruba!!?" 

I nodded and giggled along with Christie. I had just told her that Nick was taking me to Aruba for a whole week.  

"I know! I'm so excited." 

Christie squealed and flung herself back on my bed. "When do you leave?" 

I wheeled my suitcase out from my closet and set it on my bed.  

"We leave in two days. So, I'm just going to start packing." 

Christie watched as I started packing underwear and bras. She sat up and looked at my choices.  

"Are you seriously gonna pack these panties?" 

I nodded. "Yes, what's wrong with them?" 

She sighed and hit her forehead with her hand. "Andrea...you need to pack thongs and lacy underwear. Not these ordinary shits." 

I frowned and looked down at my underwear. "Why?" 

She groaned. "You're so dumb. Andrea, he's taking you to a romantic island for a week. I'm pretty sure y'all are gonna have sex." 

My heart sped up and I rolled my eyes. "No we aren't. It's just a vacation." 

Christie hopped off my bed and went to my underwear drawer. She grabbed some thongs and tossed them in my suitcase.  

"Just to be safe." 

I continued packing important things, like bikinis, shorts and anything else that corresponded with how the weather would be like in Aruba. When I was almost finished Christie started looking at my bikinis.  

"Have you gotten a wax?" 

I looked at her and crossed my arms. "I'll shave my legs when I get there." 

She laughed at me and dramatically flipped her hair. "Not that type of wax. A bikini wax!" 

I shook my head and pushed her away. "No. No. I'm not getting one." 

She rolled her eyes. "You have to! It's like rule number one when vacationing with a boyfriend!" 

I turned away from her and zipped up my suitcase. "No. No way. I'm not getting one. I've heard terrible stories from wax victims."

Nick - POV: 

"Boxers?" Bradley asked. 

"Check." 

"Toothpaste?" 

"Check." 

"Swim trunks?" 

"Check." 

"T-shirts?" 

"Check." 

"Passport?" 

"Check." 

"Condoms?" 

I looked at Bradley as he tossed me a box of Trojans and I smiled.  

"I doubt I'm gonna use these." 

He shrugged. "Just to be safe." 

I sighed and slipped them in the bottom of my suitcase. I really wanted to tell Andrea I loved her during our trip, but I didn't know how I was going to say it. I really wanted to make love to her too, but I didn't think she was ready. A few months ago she told me she hadn't had sex in over six years after she lost it to her last boyfriend who dumped her right after.
