Chapter 29
Nick showed up a little while later. He stood there with her mom and John. Nat came downstairs wearing a skirt and a baby tee. Nick was staring at her.
“What?” She asked.
“Nothing. You look Nice.”
“Uh hun. So can we get this over with now mom?”
“Come on.”
Nick stood by the door and waited for Nat. He took her hand and walked to his car.
“Why are we taking two cars?”
“I don’t know. Your mom asked me if I could drive you so I said yeah. You don’t like the idea?”
“No, It’s just strange to see my mom with some guy.”
“Oh. I see.”
“No you don’t.”
“Yeah. I do.”
“Liar.”
“Alright please can we stop and go into the car?”
“Fine Meanie.” she said. As he opened the car for her.
“Do I look lie a meanie when I’m holding this door for you?”
“No, but yet I love you.”
“Then why did you say that?” He said stopping her.
“Because I did.”
“No, there’s a reason why you said that.”
“It just....well slipped.”
“No it didn’t Nattie.” Nick said pulling her close to him.
“Yeah it did NickAy.”
“Liar, But I love you too.” He said giving her a kiss on the head.
He opened the door for her and she went in. He got in and started the car and drove off following her mom.
“Nick do you think my mom’s going out with that guy?” Nat said after awhile.
“From here it doesn’t look like it. Why are you worried about it?”
“No, I don’t know. Should I be?”
“Yeah, if you want to be.” Nick said smiling.
“Come on Nick. Should I?”
“I don’t think you should be she can make good descions. Everyone No matter what.”
“Yeah I know.”
“But later on I can see if you should one this is he doesn’t talk.”
“Your full of it. I swear you are Nick.”
“I try my best Nat.”
“Your just to sweet. Nick I gotta tell you something.” Nat said sitting up and all happy about it.
“What?” Nick said keeping his eyes on the road.
“I heard that Lisa and Kevin got back together.”
“No really Nat. I kind of figured that one out. Where is your mom going?”
“I don’t know somewhere were there’s more forks than fingers.”
“ Great am I dress for this?” Nick said pulling on his tie.
He was wearing a blue shirt and tie. His black jacket was in the back.
“Yeah, just don’t move the tie so much.”
“Well then take it off and just wear the coat and shirt.”
“Nah, I’m fine.”
“Okay Nick do you love her?”
“Do I love who?”
“Ashley.” Nick got the car up to the stop and looked at Nat.
“Nat, I’m really not going to lie to you. I don’t even know why were whatever. I just don’t know. I do know that it’s going to end soon so I can have someone else.”
“And that would be?”
Nick turned back to the road and said softly.
“You.”
Nat looked at him and smiled.
