Interlude

After catching your breath, you both lay on the bed, a thin sheen of sweat on you. Nicole's head on your shoulder your legs intertwined. One arm around her shoulder while with the other you trace a line from her hip to her breast. Nicole runs a finger around one of your nipples before kissing it. A jolt sparks from her tongue on your nipple to the rest of your body.

Nicole looks up at you.

"So... Am I gonna get my panties back?" Nicole asks you.

"Nope." you just smile at her, pushing a strand of hair from her forehead.

Mock surprise on her face. "Keeping a souvenir?"

"Souvenir of the best decision ever make" you say. In your mind you repeat. "best decision ever made and a reminder of how I almost fucked up big time."

You pull her in closer and she snuggles into you.

"John...?" she says looking at you.

"Yeah."

She hesitates for a moment.

"Did you... before tonight... did you ever... you know... look at me..." You know her so well you know you where she is going.

"Yes, I did." you answer. "...Remember that summer two years ago at the pool? When you showed up with those bikinis? First you wore a blue one with the yellow borders and then the red one with the white borders?"

You see her nod. "You remember... I was... hoping you'd notice. Which did you like?"

"I liked the red one more, anyway... I was like ...WOW! Nicole has some nice tits and a real cute butt." you cup her breast in your hand, your thumb circling here nipple. "You've grown" you say with sincere admiration "They're beautiful".

"That's all you thought?" she asked you with playfully, impish smile.

You blush but you still answer "Every time you jumped in the water I hoped you'd lose something, or maybe I'd just pull the string off myself and...." your voice trails off while you look at her with a goofy smile and your eye brows jump up and down a few times.

"Oh you little perv! Checking me out huh?" she smirks, "what did you want to see me lose? Top or Bottom?"

"Either...Or... Both" you smile mischievously.

Now she blushed a little, "Pervert!" playfully smacking your shoulder and you tickle her in return. You end up kissing her, your hand drifting down to squeeze her butt cheek.

The kiss ended with a sign. After a moment Nicole asked you, "Why didn't you ever say anything?"

Your entire face goes dark. For a while there is only silence, Nicole looks at you with concern.

"John?"

Finally you speak. "Because... Because I'm a coward Nicole. I'm weak. I was scared of saying anything. I was terrified that if I said I liked you that... that you would freak out and that I would lose you." you pause. "I'm not strong or brave like you are. I can barely talk to girls."

"No you’re not." she answered with a nervous edge to her voice, she started talking really fast, "You've dated like what, 3-4 girls? You’re not a virgin," she was rambling now, "you're the one that always talks to the waitresses, cashiers and-"

You cut her off with a kiss before she keeps rambling on. You used to pinch or tickle Nicole to stop her from rambling endlessly on some topic. Kissing her is more fun.

"Yes I am." you state. "How long have I been looking at Miranda like a love sick puppy?"

"Ever since she came back from New York soo... 8 months" she says.

"And Jennifer? Holly?" you ask her.

"I could do all that because you were there to push me on, you inspired me. I don't think I could do it without you." you answer her. "Look at all the goofy stuff you do all the time, Look at your idea for the game tonight. I couldn't ever do any of those things."

"I only do it because I know you're there to catch me if I fall. I can do it because I know you'll always protect me." She cups your face "I couldn't do any of those things without you."

"Guess we need each other a lot more than we thought." you say.

She kisses you, lightly at first and then deeper. You hug her tighter, your hands start to caress her back, her sides, you squeeze her tits.

You feel your dick start to grow against her leg.

"You are my better half" you tell her.

"Yea, you're the perfect fit for me." she answer.

Nicole smiles at you has her hand drops to your dick still slick and wet with cum, yours and hers. She starts to stroke your cock while it grows rock hard in her hand making you moan with pleasure.

"And I know where this fits perfectly." she purrs and locks her lips with yours again while tugging on your cock.
