Chapter 14
“I’ve seen you a lot of ways! But jealous, that’s a first! Even worse because we’re divorced!” I told him then I took a deep breath and heard my kids start to giggle.
“Mommy beat daddy up!”
“Thomas, out. Tamara, you too. Bed time.”
“Theresa…,” Nick started.
“Save it. Aaron, will you help your brother to his room. And put some ice on his eye. It’ll keep the swelling down, along with that shiner. I don’t need people thinking I abuse him.”
“You didn’t, sis. You just knocked some sense into him,” Aaron said, amusement evident in his voice.
“Thanks. Glad to know my brother has my back.”
“You guys are not family!” Nick growled out, annoyance clearly coming off of him in waves.
“More than Terri will ever be, Nick. Now, let’s go,” Aaron told him.
“Night guys.” I grabbed my kids’ hand after they gave both their uncle and their dad a kiss goodnight.

I sat on the edge of the pool, my feet swinging in the water, so very lost in my thoughts. That kiss happened over two hours ago, and yet, it wouldn’t leave my mind. When Leigh caught us, Nick couldn’t leave fast enough. And yeah, I can understand that the kiss was wrong, but I knew him, and knew he felt that it was right. I sighed, yanked my shirt off, thankful I had changed into my swim suit before coming down, and dived in. Maybe the pools coolness will cool me down. I swam to the deep end, freezing as I heard a splash. I quickly turned around and about freaked as AJ showed up right in front of me, a huge grin on his face. “What in the world are you doin’?” I asked. “Same as you, swimming!” I rolled my eyes at his smart ass comment. “Not funny, McLean.” “I thought it was. Aight, I saw you sitting there, and it looked like something was bothering you. So, when you jumped in, I figured it wo

“My mommy is not a bitch! You are!” My jaw dropped as I looked down at Tamara before I glanced over at Nick, he’s eyes dancing with laughter. “Why you little…” “Woah, watch what you say there Terri,” I said as I turned my back on her, grabbing Tamara’s arm. “And you, Tamara Elizabeth, are in so much trouble. Nick, let me take him, you need to talk.” “I’ll be right there,” he said. I gave him a questioning look yet all he did was shake his head. I walked over to my room, watching as LeighAnne gave Tamara a huge grin before closing the door. ~*~*~* Nick watched as Terri leaned against the door frame, her arms crossed over her chest. “You can’t defend me against your ex-wife?” she asked. “What you said was uncalled for Terri. Those kids only want to be with me.” “So do I. We really haven’t ever gotten alone time. This was supposed to be tha

I closed my eyes, my fingers massaging my temples, the sunglasses not dulling out the light that still peeked through the window. I leaned my head back against the couch, my ears hearing the laughter coming from the back area of the bus. Currently, there was Nick, Brian, LeighAnne, the kids, me, and Aaron on one bus! Thank goodness the next town was only five hours away. “You don’t look so hot.” I glanced up at him over the rim of my glasses. “Damn, you’re evil when you’re pissed.” “I’m not pissed, Aaron.” “Bull shit, you’re not. You look like you could go on a killing spree, starting with mister high and mighty in the back there,” he said, nodding his head to the back of his bus where his older brother was. “Well, if I was, believe me Aaron, your brother is at the top of my list.” “Piss ya off again, I see.” “When doesn’t he?” I retorted. “I don’t get it. You two are divorced, isn’t th

I watched her walk down to the court, handing the guys a bottle of water. I shook my head, not wanting to believe what LeighAnne had just told me. It couldn’t be true. Nick walked out of my life; it was his decision, why would he second guess that now? And yes, I know I wanted him back, was willing to fight for it, but I guess I was just really hung up on the past, cause I just couldn’t believe he would feel that way. Why leave than? I sighed. “Watch out!” I quickly snapped my mind back to reality, catching the flying ball before it could knock me upside the head. “Hey, we can say over throw!” I got up and jumped down the bleachers, walking over to Nick as I told him that and his not so fast warning. “That sucked.” “I missed,” he said with a shrug. “Nah, say it ain’t so!” “And you think you’re all that?” he asked and it was my turn to shrug, tossing the ball at him.

Both Brian and LeighAnne quickly grabbed the kids and walked away, leaving us alone once more. “We gotta stop doing this in public.” He paused, running his hand through his hair. “I may have to tell her,” he said and I closed my eyes, not wanting to talk to him about her after that amazing kiss. I leaned around him, grabbing my water and purse, but he was faster. He grabbed my arm to stop me. “Don’t be like that. If anything else happens, I have to tell her, Resa.” “Believe me Nick, I know.” I shrugged out of his grasp, and turned to walk away, but stopping. “Personally, I think you’re confused.” “Me, confused? I’m not the one kissing one man and going on a date with another, am I?” Nick asked, clearly upset over the date with AJ. “No, you’re just the one kissing one female yet screwing another. It’s obvious there’s still something between us, that something’s there…” “There’s n

He kept his head down, his glasses and hat hiding just who he was, but at that point in time, it would be a welcome distraction from what was raging through his mind. He sighed, more lost and confused than he had ever felt before. And he had no one to turn to, for all would tell him the same thing, and being honest with himself, he just didn’t want to hear that. He knew he could never really offer marriage to Terri, no matter how much he talked about it with her. But there were lots of reasons behind that. After the disaster of his first one, he wouldn’t want to do that all over again. Although, Terri probably wouldn’t stay around as a girlfriend for the rest of his life. That gave him a moment’s pause, and he stopped. The rest of his life? That could be quite a while. He sighed once more before he went on walking. And of course, on the other side, you had Theresa. He couldn’t deny he loved her, he couldn’t deny she wouldn’t be part of his life, for she would forever be.

He rested his head against the door, once more telling himself that this was the right thing, that he was making the right decision. He hated to admit that even though he felt he was making the right choice, it cut him to see AJ’s arm around her waist. He sighed, sliding his key into the reader, opening the door quietly, figuring Terri was probably lying down. Although, he stopped as he walked through the doors, seeing the candles, hearing the music. He smirked as he walked further into the room. “My, my, my, just what do we have here?” he asked. His eyes raked over her body, enjoying the thin, black material that left very little to his imagination. Not that he didn’t recall every part of her body. Terri’s lips lifted into a pout, making him…well, actually turning him off. How the hell was that possible? “I was hoping you’d be back earlier. I had a nice evening planned, with no kids, no ex’s, no one but me,” she walked over to him, her body pressing against his, her scent m

I stopped at the door, glancing back at AJ who held Tamara, both kids fast asleep. I smiled and finally managed to open the door, motioning for AJ to follow me to their room. He gently set her down, brushing a kiss over her forehead. I smiled once more and laid Thomas down. AJ walked over and gave the little boy a kiss, just like he did for his sister. “You’re too sweet on them,” I told him, my heart bursting at seeing him in such a role. He chuckled as he shut the door behind us. “They’re adorable kids. Although, they act like Nick way too much,” he quietly mumbled. At that, I had to laugh, for everyone said that, and I had to agree. “Do you want anything?” “No, thank you, Resa. Sit down though, and talk to me. Something is up in that mind of yours.” I sat down on the opposite end of the couch. “There’s not much going on,” I told AJ, turning to look at him. AJ raised an eyebrow and I had to chuckle. I could never keep anything from this man. “I’ve kissed Nick, again,
