Dragonflies Author: Cecilia Email: cecihz@adinet.com.uy Rating: PG Summary: It´s completely Nick&Lulu. Author's Disclaimer: The characters dont belong to me, I borrowed them from TG. Author's Note: I want to thank a lot totaltotal for reading it and saying it was good enough to post it; and Limonize, who beta-read it. In spite the good and careful job she did, I kept some lines... just because this is the way I speak English!. I´m sure it´s full of mistakes, but I just wrote it for fun and to fulfill a bit the March hiatus, so forgive me if it hurts your ears! I dont know which is the rate. I let it to someone else to do it. ************************************************ Lulu giggled before answering. The cashier and manager were surprised when she came into the store, and probably assumed she was looking for a gift. When she said she wanted something for herself, she saw a blank expression in their faces. The two shapely and very fashionably dressed girls were desperately trying to find a polite way to tell the short, very pregnant woman (and so formally clad) that there was nothing for her there. Lulu breathed deeply, and explained what she needed. Relaxing a bit, they smiled and asked her what the occasion was. And that made her feel like laughing. A lot. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… "Nick, wait! Louisa called earlier. I couldn’t pass the call on to you, because your dad said ‘no interruptions’. She said there was ‘no hurry’, but that she had to see you tonight. She said she’d be up late ´cause she had something to do," rushed Gretchen, trying to make sure that Nick caught the gist. Gretchen thought sadly. "Ok. That’s all? *Gretchen*, that’s all!?" "Oh, sorry, Nick! Yes, that’s all. See you tomorrow!" "G´night." Nick got into the elevator. He tried to figure it out what on earth Lulu could want now. She had been treating him better lately, as if she were forgiving him, spending some evenings with him at his house; he believed things could be going the right way again between them. But it was very unusual to ask him to drop by so late…. "Want to go for something to eat?..." "No, thanks, Jake…Have to go. See you tomorrow." He ran to the parking lot, anxious to know whatever Lulu was going to tell him. He hardly admitted to himself that every time she got checked, it grew in his mind this image of doctors telling that they had been wrong, and that they would be having a healthy baby after all. He wanted to be a father, and was willing to love their baby, but wasn’t sure he’d be able to cope with raising a handicapped child. He erased those thoughts and turned on his car engine. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… "Hey, are you sure…about this…”natural birth” thing…?" he took some time to say the phrase, feeling playful in a way that he had not felt in a long time. "Ah…wh-y-y?" Lulu was loose, her body comfortably resting in pillows, nothing to do but enjoy this delicious feeling. She tucked Nick’s curls around her fingers, relishing the pleasure she was having through his warm and wet kiss. She didn’t feel at all like talking. She sighed. "Well, since I am the one that spends more time here I think I should be let to say something before you and my child decide to ruin that beauty…" He raised his head giving her a wide smile and a most mischievous look. "Nick, you are mean…"she pulled his hair, half chastising, half teasing him "You’ll make me... feel self-conscious." The last words were almost inaudible to him, while he traced his way to her navel with butterfly kisses. Nick didn’t answer, as he hadn’t been listening. He had been hankering that intimacy for months. Barely naked as she was now, the warm light of the candles giving her body a golden tone, her belly and breast covered by that sheer fabric that only made him more excited, and the want in her dark eyes, all made a combination he found himself unable to resist for a second. Resting the weight of his body on his knees, he unbuttoned his shirt and threw it away. After getting rid of his pants, he covered her with his body, supporting himself on his arms, softly breathing over her face. Lulu closed her eyes and abandoned herself to the whim of the moment: she knew they would be able to forget their troubles for awhile and just be together like it was at the beginning. No hard feelings, misunderstandings or grudges. Just the joy of being in each others’ arms, knowing they belonged there. Nick kept softly touching her body with his face, sometimes blowing his hot breath, others just nuzzling his nose against her skin to smell her natural perfume. He sensed she was about to speak. Getting to her house and discovering that she was waiting for him in her bedroom, wearing nothing but that absurdly cute teddy (“it has dragonflies” she had said shyly) was so good that he was scared she might ruin it with talk. "Don’t you want to know what I went to the doctor for?" Lulu asked daring, having resumed playing with his hair. Nick wished that whatever she had to say could wait. "What did you go to the doctor for?" He mocked, trying to sound nonchalant, and bending to lay in his back. Lulu lifted her upper body, resting on her forearms, and then crawled over his body while speaking. "He said it was perfectly normal to be dying to have sex with you, you know?" She tried to sound serious, but started laughing when she saw Nick’s bafflement in his eyes. "And you know what else?...he said I could have all the sex I want…and that…" her voice dropped to a whisper. "That’s a *lot*…so you better get ready for a *long* night, baby!" Lulu broke in laughs by the end. She kneeled over him, pressing her belly against his chest. Nick reached for her and slid and locked his hands around her back. He smirked. "You know I’m your slave…where do I start?..." Lulu lowered her head and nibbled his lips. Nick felt his body react to her tease. "Surprise me…" she murmured. He closed his eyes, smiling THE END
