Hello again everyone. Here's the much promised chapter 6. I know it's kind of short, but I hope that everyone still enjoys it. Oh, also, don't read this if you're underage, if it's illegal, if your boss is gonna fire you or if your teacher's gonna ban you from the computers. If you do read it, and you get into any kinda trouble for it... it's all your fault. Lol. Have fun.
Chapter 6
After feeling her face get a painful blow and then feeling the back of her head hitting the tile floor, Nicole's vision swam for a moment. It wasn't so much the hit from the fist, but more the hit on the floor that was more painful.
"What the hell? What happened?" wondered Nicole. A small groan escaped from her lips. "So much for you trying to kick my ass the next time you see me."
"Fuck you!!" screamed Jamie. She looked almost like she was near tears, but the look in her eyes was enough to send a chill down Nicole's spine.
Looking over at Amanda, Nicole said sternly, "Hun, stay over there. Don't lay a hand on her okay?"
Amanda just managed a nod. She was so angry at that moment that the words barely registered in her mind. How dare Jamie lay a hand on Nicole and talk to her like that! And why the hell did Nicole not want her to touch Jamie?
Before she could finish her train of thought, Jamie appeared to jump a little in the air and land sprawled on the floor.
Picking herself up, Nicole looked down at her and said, "Don't ever touch me again Jamie. You know you don't stand a chance against me, and after today, you know that you don't stand a chance against Amanda. If you touch me again, I'll kick your ass. Touch Amanda, and I'll kick it worse. Stay away from us from now on."
"Why didn't you want me to touch her?" asked Amanda. She and Nicole were walking to Nicole's Jeep.
"Because I just wanted to take care of that one by myself. I was so pissed at her for what she did to you. If you hadn't already beaten the shit out of her, I would have. Hell, you did a really good job of fighting! Where'd you learn?"
"My dad. Before he died, he was always teaching me how to defend myself. I think he was afraid of what would happen if a `boyfriend' tried to get too friendly."
"Your dad died?! Oh God, I'm so sorry sweetheart."
"It's okay. It was hard right after the accident, but it's gotten easier over the years."
"Still..."
After a quick awkward silence, they reached the Jeep and rode to Nicole's house so that Nicole could clean Amanda up a little bit.
Dabbing Neosporin on the cuts softly, Nicole looked lovingly into Amanda's eyes. "Sweetie, are you mad at me?"
"A little. I mean, I know the reasoning you gave for your not wanting me to jump in between you and Jamie, but a part of me can't help but wonder if maybe it was because you were trying to... I dunno... that maybe you were trying to protect her."
"Hun, no. I wasn't trying to protect her. I just... I have a thing to where if I'm in a fight, I like to be the one to win it. I don't like it when anyone else jumps in, not even if it's someone that I care a lot about."
Hearing that, Amanda ducked her head a bit to try and hide her blushing.
Pushing her chin up, Nicole whispered, "Uh uh... I need your head up so that I can finish."
With that, Nicole leaned up quickly and gave a peck of a kiss on Amanda's lips. Amanda quickly ducked her blushing face again.
"Hey, since you're blushing already," Nicole said, "I have something to ask you. This weekend, my dad's going out of town for some conference, and since my mom has time off from her job, she's going with him. Anyway, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to come over and spend the night."
A blush quickly seared its way across Amanda's face as she realized what Nicole must have surely been planning. Amanda had never kissed anyone else, much less gone any further. She'd always been too shy to pursue any crushes that she'd had. Plus, what she was feeling for Nicole was rapidly moving from a crush to something more.
Seeing her hesitation, Nicole added quickly, "We can just sit around and eat pizza while we're watching movies if you want. And you can even sleep in the guest bedroom or I have a couch in my room if it makes you more comfortable."
Thinking it over, Amanda decided that things wouldn't be so bad. "Yeah, I'll come. Want me to bring anything?"
"Just yourself. Oh, and make sure you get the okay from your mom to spend Friday and Saturday night. I can bring you home in case of anything... and make sure you give her the number here," taking a breath, Nicole finished up with, "Well, I think that I'm finished bandaging you up. Take a look."
Standing up from where she sat on the closed toilet lid, she stepped in front of the mirror. She took a step back in shock. She had a bandage over her right eye and a smaller one with tape over it on the side of her nose. All the dried blood was gone, but in it's place, were bandages and tapes.
"You umm... you did a good job. Thanks."
"I'm not real good at this stuff. Hope it all works though."
"It will. Thanks again."
"It's almost 5:00, I'd better get you home, or your mom will go ballistic on us both."
They reluctantly walked out to Nicole's Jeep. After a few minutes of riding, Nicole reached over and took Amanda's hand in her own. Looking at each other, they began to smile. Once the Jeep pulled up in front of Amanda's house, Nicole leaned over and gave Amanda a quick kiss and whispered, "I can't wait to see you again Baby."
Blushing, Amanda replied, "Don't worry. It won't be long... I promise."
"Great," she replied and gave Amanda another kiss before watching Amanda get out and walk into her house.
"Man," thought Nicole, "this is amazing. I've never felt like this before. I love her so much!"
I hope you all enjoyed that. Let me know what you think. As always, I'm gonna try my hardest to write back to all emails (good or bad)... even though I haven't really gotten any bad emails. : ) Lol
