“Uh, you can not be going out like that!”“I am.  I have a date.”“With who?”“None of your business Nick.  Besides, don’t you have some blonde bimbo to keep happy?” “You’re referring to Terri.”  I raised an eyebrow at him before heading towards the elevator.“Last time I checked, she was your girlfriend, you know.”  He sighed, pushing the button.  “Nick…”“I don’t want to discuss it.”  I shrugged before stepping into the elevator, him quickly following.  “Did you realize she’s pushy?”  I glanced at him, shaking my head before laughing.  “What?”“I thought you didn’t want to discuss it?”“I didn’t.  I don’t.”“So, why are you bringing it up?”“You&rsqu

He sat down, running his fingers through his hair, his mind racing. His eyes closed; hearing nothing but echoes of voices from the night before.  Brian screaming at him that he was an utter fool, Kevin yelling that he was stupid, and Howie, Howie topped it all off with the fact that he, Nick, was even more stupid than D thought.  Howie proclaimed that Theresa loved him, but now, with these stupid past stunts and comments, he’d be lucky if Theresa even thought of taking him back.  And actually, Nick knew that was true.  He never wanted anyone to find out about his own stupidity, but, he would be a fool if he thought they wouldn’t figure it out.  He was even more surprised no one else punched him.  But, than they figured out that’s what AJ had done and why keep adding salt to the wound, even if it was needed?  And than Terri!  Terri was beyond furious and stomped out, and yet last night, he made no damn move to follow her, wasn

“I, uh, I…” I glanced from Kris to AJ, shoving the bag in my pocket, than shrugged my shoulders.  “I was looking for something.  Thought I gave it to Alex.”“You have a key to my room?”“I have a key to every room.  It’s mandatory that I do.”“What did you give me Resa?  I don’t remember holding anything for you?”  I licked my lips, trying to smile, than became thankful as I heard the scream come from outside.  I paused, than hurried to Nick’s room, sliding the card and quickly entering.“What was that?”  I heard the growl, turning around to see Terri standing behind me, soaking wet.“Who did it?  Which one of your pains in my ass did it?”“Terri…”“Shut up, Theresa.  I don’t want to hear you, hell, I don’t want to see you, so get the hell out of

I glanced up at Terri, who was glaring at me, the hatred clearly written in her eyes.  I shrugged, turning my attention back to the movie.“Excuse me; get the hell out of my spot.”“Nope, there’s room on the love seat or the floor.  But, we’re trying to watch this.”  All heads turned to LeighAnne who was staring at Terri.“But Nick’s my boyfriend, not hers!”“He may be, but everyone on this couch is comfy.  Can’t you see that?”  It took all my strength not to bust out laughing at the rage on Terri’s face.  “I believe it’s rude to block the view for other people too!”  Terri glared at LeighAnne, than me, before marching her ass to the love seat.“I’m glad you’re feeling better, though, Terri,” I said, smiling all the more as she rolled her eyes before turning to the TV.  I shook my head, hear

I groaned as I heard the ringing in my ear, knowing that damn ring tone.  I flipped my cell phone open, squeezing my eyes shut.“Carter here.”“Someone sounds grumpy.”“What can I do for you George?”“Hey now, do not get that bitchy attitude with me.”  I rolled my eyes, my temper on a tight leash.  “I’m getting asked by my superiors here what your game plan is.”  I gritted my back teeth, biting the inside of my lip to keep my anger in check.“George, you, and your people will get an update and a game plan when I think it’s necessary to give you one.  In the mean time, sit on your damn fingers and rotate, because I just don’t give a shit.”  With that, I slammed my phone shut, growling.  I picked up my gym clothes and quickly changed, grabbing my gym bag on the way out of my room.  I checked on the kids, seeing them asleep
