Chapter 3
"…B-I-N-G-O and Bingo was his name-o" Gosh, what an assignment, I started college and my 2nd big assignment of the year was student teaching a pre-kinder class, in other words 14 screaming 3 year olds for 6 hours a day. Now I'm humming the tune of the song they sang in class today. I just got back home and unlocked the door just wanting to take a hot bubble bath- ya see, today in class while the head teacher was on break I let the kids get into paint, believe me that is one mistake I won't be making again any time soon. Now all I want to do is soak then get into my comfy PJ's and veg on my couch for the rest of the weekend. I haven't seen Nick in over a month and it's really getting to me, maybe a weekend of nothing will do me some good.
I walked in the house stretching my aching muscles after throwing my car/house keys on the nearest hard surface. I was on my way to the bathroom to draw my bath when I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Music…" I said looking around with my eyes, I still couldn't move. Then it stopped so suddenly I jumped.
"Maybe it was just the alarm going off at the wrong time again." I reasoned, trying to move my legs from their stiff position. After dragging myself into the bathroom and slipping my bathrobe on I decided that tea would most definitely complement my bath. I walked to the kitchen and put some water to boil for my tea and started tenderly easing my neck from side to side trying to remove some of the tension. I sighed thinking about how much I missed the guys….especially Nick when I felt a pair of hands rest on my shoulders gently starting to massage them. I froze before grabbing the nearest utensil and let out a blood curdling scream. My instincts taking over I quickly spun around swinging the utensil I now had identified as a knife and sputtered "GET AWAY FROM ME NOW!!!!!" A mans voice, which seemed to be equally as terrified as mine frantically stuttered
"W-WOAH there! Unless I did something unforgivable that I didn't know about PLEASE put the knife down before ya hurt either of us." The voice slowly but surly registered in my head. The knife clattered to the floor. I moved a little closer and threw my arms around the bearer of the voice, when I realized just what he had done to me…
"What the heck are you tryin' to do to me????" I pushed him away. I took a breath and then pulled him in for another hug this one lasting longer than the first. Still clinging to him I questioned him. "What are you doing here? I've missed you so much! I didn't know you were coming. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU WERE COMING!!! YOU SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!" I pushed him away again. "Don't you ever EVER do that to me again!!! I'm going to take a bath." I started walking out the kitchen in a huff when Nick grabbed my waist and pulled me back to him.
"I'm sowy." He said sticking out his lower lip.
"Fine, let me go take my bath." I said trying my hardest to look stern.
"You don't even want to talk to me…I traveled all this way to be with you." He said looking like he was about to break down.
"Okay….AFTER my bath!" I said surprising him with my quick mood change. I gave him a peck on the lips and ran up to the bathroom locking it before he could follow me.
I walked down the stairs clad in my butterfly PJ bottoms with matching top, I also had a blanket for Nick and I to share. I sat on the couch with him and cuddled up until we were both comfortable with the blanket around us. I breathed in the scent of his cologne, which I had yearned to smell for such a long time.
"So, what are ya doin' home?" I asked softly my head rested on his chest, his arm protectively around my waist.
"I came to see my baby, I needed to hold her." He said softly into my hair.
"I don't see the dog." I said, stifling a giggle.
"Oh funny sweetheart…I missed you." He said a little more serious.
"I missed you too…are the other guys here?" I questioned.
"Nope, they got stuck recording some extra vocal arrangements that I had already finished, so I decided to spend my few days off with you and ONLY you." I closed my eyes until I felt something ever so lightly brush the base of my neck. I opened one eye only to see blond locks of hair in my face, Nick's head was nestled at the base of my neck.
"Nniiiiickkkk" I whined.
"What?" His response muffled.
"I'm tired, I wanna go to sleep, it's been a really long day." I complained. His lips lingered on my neck for a moment before he pulled away and looked at me.
"Okay…for you…I love you." He said leaning his head down to mine to steal a kiss. Then he leaned back lying on his back with me on his chest while he stroked my hair.
"Love you too." I said and then drifted off into an extremely restful night's sleep.
