"Oh Snap" Nicole said as she was walking out her house. She forgot her wallet on her upstairs dresser. She was on her way to meet her friend Tony. Tony is a guy she used to work with. He asked her out to dinner. As she made her way back into the house, she noticed that her phone was ringing; It was her mom, Lisa. "Hey mom" she said. "Hello Nicole, I need you to do me a favor. Tommorow night, I have a Business Meeting and I need you to watch Andrea for a couple hours". Andrea , Nicole's niece, is 2 years old. Nicole's sister, Mariah , had to leave town with her husband for a funeral so she left her with Lisa for 2 weeks. "Alright mom. I'll call you tonight because I'm on my way out the door. I Love You, Bye!" She hung up without letting her say anything back. Lisa is a very hard working woman, but she can't get annoying sometimes.
-- 20 Minutes Later.
"Nicole, nice to to see you! You look Ravishing" Tony said. "Awww thank you! You don't look too bad yourself" she joked. "How have you Been? How's mom doing?" "I've been very busy dealing with family, work & friends. Mom is very Well! She's just as busy as I am! haha."
They are interupted by the server. "Are you ready for drinks?" the waiter asked. Tony looked at her hinting her to go first. "Umm Yes. I would like Rasberry Ice Tea." "And you sir?" "I'll have Lemon Breeze." The waiter walked away without saying anything and she watched him walk away with a disgusted look. "Hey!" he said trying to get her attention. "Oh Sorry, I was just looking at all the decorations!" she lied keeping a straight face. He took her to Bahama Breeze. A nice expensive restaurant. "Yeah Ok", he started laughing. She just smiled. A different server came up to their table, very dandy. "Good Evening! What would you like to order?" Tony hinted her again. "I would like the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sliders." 'That meal is so good!' that waiter commented. "I would like the Firecracker shrimp, Tony added."
They ate and had a wonderful time talking. As they were walking out, he grabbed her hand as if they were a married couple. She turned her face with amusement."I really had a wonderful time tonight. I was thinking maybe..." *cut off by her cough* "You alright?" she shook her head yes. "I was thinking maybe we can go bowling or something sometime next week?" Tony had a dubious look on his face, but he was hoping she would say yes. "Sounds good, but I have to check my calendar; I work alot." "Oh that's fine. Text me or Call sometime this week when your not busy." He kissed her on the cheek & headed over to his car.
Nicole's POV:
"Ahhhhhhhhh I had a wondeful time tonight! He is so handsome. But the flirting? was a bit much! He is so sweet, I can't even blame him. I hope this doesnt go too fast."
Tony's POV:
"She is so Gorgeous! If only she were mine.. I can't believe how good this night is. I come home to my Lovely, Soft Bed. I can't get her off my mind. It's time to sleep this away."
The Next Day:
Nicole was getting her apartment ready because tonight is the night she had to watch her niece, Andrea. She had to go to the store to pick up a few snacks and games. When she returned, she was actually sleepy but there was nothing really she could do so she had to deal with it. A couple hours had passed and she now, was watching Andrea. Through-out the hours, she noticed that Andrea was quiet.
Nicole: "Drea, what's the matter?"
Andrea: "Mommy and Daddy, she pouted then ran into Nicole's arms as she put her thumb in her mouth and her head down."
Nicole called it a night and put Andrea down into the bed. "Shhhh baby. Mommy and Daddy will be back before you know it", she said.
It was about 10 : 17 when she decided to text her sister to see whats up.
Nicole: "Mariah? Hope everything is ok down there. Your Baby Girl misses you! Text me when you get a chance. xoxo."
*almost an hour later*
Mariah: "Oh Hey Nic! I'm fine, were just reading books but my phone was on the charger. Awwww my baby. where is she? has she been a good girl?"
Nicole: "She's sleep. very good, just quiet. Listen ; call my house phone tomorrow around 1 : 30 and I'll let you talk to her if the mood is right."
Mariah: "Alrighty that sounds good. what are you doing?"
Nicole: Oh nothing much. On my phone, you know>? Facebook, Checking my Emails and stuff.
Mariah: "Lol Yes. Oh I forgot to tell you. I ran into Tanya and she said hi."
Nicole: OMG wow. thats aswesome. Thanks for telling me! (sarcastic)
Mariah: "Don't tell me you still have problems w/ her."
Nicole: "No I don't but I'm getting tired. (Lying)
Mariah: It's 11 : 20.
Nicole: Yes, I know what time it is. I'll text you tomorrow. Goodnight! Love You! Tell Scott hi!
Mariah: Hahahah. your real funny. Goodnight LIAR :)
Nicole laid in her bed while the sunlight shined in her face. She smiled and got up to open the curtains more. She then walked to the room where Andrea was, but she was still sleep. Nicole then went into the kitchen and cooked breakfast. French Toast, Eggs, Sausage, Fruit Bowl & Orange Juice. She wanted to wait for her niece, but she was in a deep sleep, so she ate by herself.
phone rings.
"Goodmorning Sweetie" he said w/ a smile on his face.
''Hey! what's up?"
"Just getting ready to leave. wanted to talk to you before I leave. Now I'm happy and should have a good day ;)" ...he cheesed.
"Oh, so you a slick one?" said in a serious voice.
"Nooo..You just hard to get off my mind."
"Oh Alright. Well you get to work and call me later. Have a Good Day ; Bye!!" Nic said quickly.
"Good morning Baby Girl! I know you slept well"
Andrea walked in the kitchen as she rubbed her eyes and sat on Nicole's lap.
"You hungry now?"
"Uh Huh!"
"Alright. Let me heat your food up. When your done, were going to get you dressed and take a trip to Sam's Club, ok?"
"Ok. I love you auntie."
Nicole turned her face from the microwave and took in what Andrea just said. She started to a cry a little because Andrea barely talked.
"Awwww come here boo. I love you too! ;)"
About an hour had passed and they were about to get in the line. They left Sam's Club and headed to the mall. 40 minutes prior to leaving the mall, they walked passed the jewellery store.
"Andrea, come look at this necklace and bracelet set we could get your mom. Oh and look at this watch to get daddy!"
Andrea thought they were pretty so Nicole paid for it and as they were walking out the mall, she got a phone call.
"Hello? what!!!! Alright I'll be there asap!" she hung up.
"Andrea, hurry let's go"
