Nick entered the mansion quietly, Brian behind him. When he passed by the parlor, he heard his mother call him.
"Nick! Come here," Jane called out when she saw her son walk by. Nick groaned. Brian quietly chuckled.
"I'll see ya later, man," Brian said, turning and walking up the stairs. Nick slowly walked into the parlor, seeing that Melissa Jones was there. He suppressed a groan, and put on a fake smile.
"Hey, Mom," Nick greeted, kissing his mother on the cheek. Then he turned to Melissa. She stood up, and wrapped her arms around Nick, planting a kiss on his mouth.
"Why, darling, it's been simply forever since we've last seen each other, hasn't it, Jane?" Melissa said, with a sickeningly sweet smile.
"That's right, Melissa. We just haven't had the time to invite you over, but now that you're here, why don't you and Nick go out for a cappucino or coffee at that lovely café not too far away?" Jane suggested.
"Mom, I don't think-" Nick started.
"Yes, darling! That would be simply marvelous, don't you think? Let's go," Melissa said, pulling Nick's arm. Nick sighed. He had the good manners not to decline put this way.
Jessica looked out the window, and saw Nick. Her heart lurched when she saw who he was with. It was that evil conniving witch Melissa Jones.
"That rich snob. But what is Nick doing with her?" Jessica said to herself when she saw Nick opening the door of his car to allow Melissa to enter. Jessica turned from the window when they drove away. She sighed.
Is Nick using me? Am I just a simple game to him? Jessica thought, torturously.
