Chapter 9

Nick drunkenly walked into his house. For the past few weeks, he tried to stay away from the house as often as he could. He would go out to some clubs at night, get drunk, and get home at daylight.

Nick looked around at the dark house. He tried to find his way to the stair, but bumped into something. He yowled as something landed on his foot. "Stupid book!" Nick didn't have the strength to go upstairs, so he decided to crash on the couch.

When Nick woke up the next morning, the first thing he noticed was that a blanket was covering him and his head was rested on a pillow. "That's funny. I don't remember getting a pillow and blanket." There was a light scent in the air. It smelled so familiar and comforting. What was it? Just as Nick was about to think deeper on that subject, his stomach interrupted.

He walked to the kitchen to get some food. "There probably isn't any in there anyways." Nick said aloud, remembering the pig-out him and the guys had had the day before. To his surprise, when he opened the refrigerator, it was stocked with food. "She must have gone grocery shopping."

He smelled the scent again. It smelled like the ocean breeze. It was so natural and comforting. Nick's stomach growled again.

"You know, if you're that hungry, I could cook for you. But then again, you don't know what kind of poison I would put in there."

Nick turned around. "Are you a stalker?"

"Nope. Sorry. Got better things to do that stalk you."

"Really? Like what? Sleeping with innocent guys so that you can have babies with them and get their money?"

"You're not exactly what I would call innocent, Nick."

"Well, you're exactly what I would call a whore!"

"Call me what you want Nick, but at least I don't cheat the on one that I claim to love."

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Nick, I'm not a blond. I know that you've been telling everyone that you slept with me when you and Melisa broke up."

"So?"

"Well, I don't think Melisa would like it if she found out that you were lying to her. You got back together about five months ago. This baby just turned three months old!"

Nick's face drained of all color.

"So before you go callin' me a whore, think about who really sleeps around!" Paradise said as she stomped off.

Nick stood frozen for a second longer. "There is no way I'm gonna let her blackmail me."

Nick walked into the living room where Paradise was folding the blanket. "For your info, we broke up that month too!" Nick said, hoping his lie sounded truthful enough.

"Sure, Nick." Paradise said sarcastically.

"She's not buying it!  Play it cool." Nick thought. "Just thought you'd wanna know before you let out the wrong information."

"Whatever." Paradise said as she gathered the pillow and blanket and took them upstairs.
