I Want You

Chapter Five

"Thank you for coming along." Nina said for the tenth time as we entered another lingerie store.

"It's no problem. It also gives the opportunity to get some things for myself." I shrugged it off like the past nine times.

Seth and Armand were taking care of Caleb while Nina and I had a girls day. The purpose for all of this was for her to get something sexy for Seth since his birthday was coming up soon and she wanted to have a night all for the both of them. Armand and I had already offered to take care of Caleb when the day came.

"Do you think he'll like this one?" she held a pretty pink set of strings that were probably meant to cover only an inch of your body and nothing more.

"I think he'll love it." I nodded, admiring the piece and wondering if Armand was into this sort of thing. But I mean, who wouldn't like something sexy?

"This is totally for you. Yes, Armand would swallow his tongue if he saw you in this. And the black would totally make your hair look fiery!" Nina said excitedly as she held pieces of black lace for me to see.

I have to admit this felt a bit strange seeing as we only met yesterday and now we're practically discussing what to wear for our lovers to make them horny and want to ravish us like there's no tomorrow. Hell, I never went shopping for lingerie with Jenny.

Speaking of, I hadn't gone home since yesterday evening. This is the longest I've gone without talking to her and it hurt, but I guess it was time for me to stand up for myself and do what's best for me for a change.

Still I sent her a quick text telling her I was going to be home late. You know, in case she actually worried.

"Darcy?"

"I'm sorry what?" I shook my head as if that could disperse my thoughts.

"You spaced out a bit. Is everything okay?" she seemed genuinely worried.

"Everything's fine. Just got lost in my thoughts." I shrugged it off. "And I think I'm going to take that advice, I'll buy this."

Nina grinned at me as we both headed to the cashier to pay for our lace.

When we arrived at Nina's home, the boys were taking a nap. Neither of us could help ourselves as we took several pictures of the sight before us. Seth laid on his back, one leg hanging from the couch, Caleb on his chest with his mouth kind of orange, probably from the Cheetos on the floor. Armand was laying face down on the couch adjacent to where Seth and Caleb were at, his left leg and arm hanging off the couch and he had what could be the cutest pout in existence.

"You could stay over?" Nina suggested as we finished taking pictures from every angle possible.

"Thanks for the offer, but we can't. Armand has to be up early and he left his laptop at home, and I have school and didn't bring anything with me." At her beaming face I took a step back. "What?"

"You just called Armand's place your home."

"I-"

"And you know his schedule and what he'll need."

"Nina-"

"And I saw your face when you were taking pictures a moment ago. The fond in your eyes is undeniable." She chuckled in delight. "You love him don't you?"

I swear all the blood from my face drained and my eyes could give plates a run for their money on how wide they got and I could probably catch more flies than a frog with how I kept opening and closing my mouth in shock. I'm screwed.

"I don't- I mean- I haven't- Oh God." I couldn't even finish a sentence. Now a baby could articulate more than me.

"Hey, honey, breathe." Nina came closer to rub her hand on my back. "That's it. Calm down. It's okay."
