<em>~ Nicci in the kitchen, then, off to the entertainment room to play ~</em><br/><br/><br/>Nicci stood watching the bag go round and round in the pool of light. The microwave pinged and she took it out, shaking it to coat it well and then opened it, carefully pouring it's contents into the bowl she had ready.  The hot buttery smell reminded her of her very first taste of popcorn, surprisingly not that long ago.  She smiled, it had been a fun day, and the kids had loved it.<br/><br/>She cradled the warm bowl, watching Mila and Mari carry the drink they had made along with some glasses out and off to the boys.  It had been a wonderful evening so far, she had been surprised at just how relaxed it had all been, the flirting, the opening up of every one of them, learning more and more about each other as the questions and answers flowed like fine wine.<br/><br/>And now they were going to see if the chemistry was going to work..... she shivered.  She was excited, nervous, afraid, but she longed for it more than she feared it.  The girls had agreed not to dress formal, but to change into dresses for dinner. Nicci had chosen a casual button though dress (http://media.victoriassecret.com/product/prodpri2/V314201.jpg) and underneath a simple mocha lacy  bra and boy shorts. (http://www.lasenza.co.uk/dd/level3.aspx?d=21&type=&style=703197&product=010013078z&img=SS211_30&colour=120) She had already shucked off her shoes and was bare foot, so her feet made no sound as she padded across the kitchen, turning off the lights after one long look round. She wondered what movie the boys had chosen and just how long they would all watch it before things got interesting.  She was pretty sure the boys were as keyed up as they were, they didn't know of course that they had planned a group encounter, agreed it, but nevertheless the flirting had got pretty hot out there and the looks had been just as hot too.<br/><br/>She walked down the corridor, realising she hadn't ever felt this churning mix of anticipation and fear to this extent before, even in the entertainment world she had broken into.  It must be because I want it so much, she thought, and in fact she wanted it far more deeply than she had at first realised, scary just wasn't the word.  She stood outside the entertainment room door listening to the rumble of the men's voices and the light laughing responses of the girls.  She could also hear the chink of glass on glass so the drink was already being appreciated.<br/><br/>She took a deep calming breath, opening the door and stepping through it, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Popcorn is served ..... so what are we watching.......?"
