Chapter
28
The phone rang again and Brian and Angela were both getting a bit annoyed.
They just wanted some time to themselves. "Not again!"
Angela managed to get out in between kisses.
"Hold on," Brian said.
"I'll put an end to this." He reached over and pulled the plug
out of the phone jack.
"No more phone ringing. I
like the sound of that," Angela whispered.
At the hospital....
"I was disconnected for some reason," Nick said, as he reentered
Krista's room.
"Oh well. Let's get out of
here. Thanks for everything Dr. Robertson."
"No problem," she smiled as
they left.
When they got to Nick's car, Krista
said,"I just wanna thank you for being there for me. It means
alot."
"Don't worry about it. I'd
do it for you again and again."
She smiled and gave him a small, but
sweet kiss before they started home.

The following morning, Angela woke up
and rolled over to see that Brian was still asleep. She smiled at the
thought of last night. Her love for Brian grew even more. She
didn't know that it was possible to be any more in love.
She leaned over and placed a soft kiss
on his lips to wake him up. His eyes fluttered and he looked over at
her. "Good morning Princess."
"Morning," she smiled at
him.
"No regrets?"
"Absolutely none.
You?"
"I wouldn't have had it any other
way."
"Well," she said, getting out of
bed. "I'm going to take a shower."
"While you're doing that, I'm
gonna cook you breakfast."
"Brian Littrell, you are too
much!"
"I know," he grinned and
left the room.
Later that day...
"Where are they?" Krista wondered. She had rung the doorbell
about five times and no one answered. But she knew that they were in
there. "Why did I leave my key in the house?"
"Why do you keep asking questions that I
can't answer?" Nick mocked her.
"Oh, shut up!" she said as
she elbowed him playfully.
Just then, Brian opened the door.
"Hey guys! Come on in!"
"I love how I have to get invited
into my own house," she remarked.
"I figured you would," Brian
replied.
"So where's Angela?" Krista
asked.
"And what happened last
night?" Nick added.
"That's what I should be
asking," Angela said, coming out of her bedroom. She saw Krista's thumb
and ran over to her. "You poor thing! Did that bowling ball
eat you up?" she teased as she hugged Krista.
Krista pulled away and smacked her.
"Yes, it did. And thanks for being so concerned."
"Hey! I was very concerned!
Nick told us that we didn't need to come to the hospital. The
situation sounded so funny over the phone. I mean look at Brian; he
laughed until he cried." Angela pointed toward her boyfriend.
"Hmmm. I recall that you
were the one crying from laughing so hard," Brian said.
"Maybe I did," she admitted,
sitting down between Brian's legs. "You wanna tell us the whole
story now?"
"I suppose so," Krista
replied. She and Nick both sat on the couch.
They told their story over again, but
in detail this time. Brian and Angela were both rolling on the floor in
laughter. They didn't even try to hold it back. Krista would have
been mad at the fact that they were laughing at her, but when she thought about
it, the situation did sound funny.
"So tell me," Nick started.
"Why was I disconnected from you guys last night?"
"I unplugged the phone,"
Brian answered.
"Why?" he pressed.
"We were busy," Angela
answered for Brian.
"Doing what?" Krista asked
curiously.
Angela and Brian looked at each other
and turned deep shades of red. They didn't exactly want to discuss what
happened between the two of them with Krista and Nick.
"Oh you didn't!" Krista
exclaimed.
They both looked away, very embarrassed and
turning even redder still.
"Well, well, well. I guess you two
were pretty busy last night," Nick teased. Krista just smirked at
her boyfriend's smart remark.
"Perhaps," Angela said.
"Well, not to cut this
embarrassing moment short or anything, but I believe that we have a
meet-n-greet and a meeting with management today?" Brian looked straight
at Nick when he said this.
"OK, OK," Nick said in
surrender. He turned to give Krista a kiss and got up to leave.
"I'll call you later," Brian
said to Angela, gave her a kiss on the cheek, and left.
"So are you gonna tell me what
happened?" Krista gushed.
"Most of it. I'm sure that
Brian wouldn't appreciate it if I told you everything," Angela laughed at
her.
"Alright."
Angela sighed with contentment and
proceeded to share with her best friend her feelings and dreams for this
relationship.
