Nichole

As Thomas stood there, he felt warmth in his heart, after being cold for so long. While him  and Nichole rode on his boat “The Reef Slider “He wanted to say so many things. About how much he missed her warm smile and presence in his life, sadly he could only utter one Sentence “So what you are doing on my boat?” as he attempted to sip his bottle only to find it empty. Nichole chuckled “Our boat, besides, I thought you would be Neck deep in nectar by now “she said as she walked toward his room, Thomas felt shameful as he wiped the nectar dripping from his lips. “I needed to borrow some tools “Nichole shouted Scrummaging through his shed. She went down to grab the toolbox and saw a photo, holding it saying nothing but feeling the same pit she felt that day. It was a photo of Cecelia the day she was born, Nichole wanted to say something to Thomas, but the words would not come. “Anyway, it was nice catching up with you “she said rushing off the boat. “Wait “Thomas screamed; He could not let her leave again “At least let me fix your Boat “Nichole looked at him shocked “No one knows you better than me Nic “.

Drifting  through the coral and reefs of the Pacific, Thomas and Nichole stood in silence. Nichole wanted to talk to him or find an excuse to leave but she could not find one, Thomas was happier than he had been in years.  As they reached Her craft, Nichole looked at Thomas she had missed that scruffy hair of his . “We’re here “Thomas said swimming off the deck. Nichole boat was a grey round ship with long claws and a jet on the rear. “This is some ship Nic, what were you doing out here “He said examining the craft, Near the rear Thomas noticed a large scratch “Just traveling along “Nichole replied. Suddenly Thomas was blinded from overhead, “NICHOLE! IS THAT YOU GIRL “A voice said from above. Thomas looked at Nichole Puzzled, Nichole not batting him an eye.
