World's Worst Boss

Thirty Two

"Hey." Said the voice of Nick's childhood friend. Nick turned around and made eye contact with him. "Hey." He smiled and stood up. He gave his friend a pat on the back.

The two sat down at the bar stools. "Thanks for meeting me here, I really appreciate it." Nick said. "No problem buddy." Logan cracked a smile.

"Haven't seen you in a while, what you been up to?" He asked. "I started my own newspaper company, it's hitting off." Nick answered. "Cool what's it called?" Logan asked.

"Jonas Daily." He simply said. Logan gave a nod. "Give him a scotch." Nick said to the bartender. He then took a sip of his own cup of ice cold scotch.

"Scotch huh?" Logan looked at his best friend with a small smirk. Nick looked over at him and scoffed. He chugged his glass down. "Yeah..." He said, sucking his teeth.

"What's up?" He asked. Whenever Nick used to have problems, he would ask Logan for help. "My fiancé..." He dared not to say more. "Oh congrats, I heard you're engaged." Logan said with a nudge to Nick's arm.

"Thanks." He said. "That doesn't sound like you're happy." He said. "I am it's just... We found out that she's pregnant with twins today. And I.... I'm scared to death Logan." He said as tears formed his eyes.

"One baby is already hard to take care of, how am I gonna raise two?" Nick asked. "Well it's not like you're doing this on your own Nick. You have you're fiancé, and you already know you have your mom's support." He chuckled.

"And at least you're blessed to have twins. Me and Irene, my wife, have been trying for weeks now." He said then sipping on his scotch. "Sorry man." Nick said. Logan shrugged, "It's life." He swirled his cold drink around.

"Listen Nick, I want you to know that it's not anyone's fault that you're having twins. Maybe this if for a good reason, you know. It might be hard having twins but they're going to be worth it dude." Logan smiled. "Me and Irene have a son and we're trying for another because we love our son so much, that we wanna show our love to another one of our creations. You're gonna be a dad, Nick, cherish it." Logan said.

"Thanks man." Nick said. He was starting to realize some thing. "No problem. I have to head out soon, my son's soccer practice is almost over." He said standing up. "It's okay, I have to go too." Nick said also standing to his feet.

He took out his wallet and paid the bartender. "Hey, I better get that wedding invitation and be that best man!" Logan yelled on his way out the door. "Sure thing buddy!" Nick chuckled as he walked to his car. He hopped in his car and started the engine. He had to make things right.

He grabbed the bags full of merchandise and shut the door. He ran up the steps and opened the front door of the house.

"Where have you been young man? Do you know what time it is? How long you've been gone!" The woman screamed at him. "Sorry Demi." Nick sighed. "You left poor Selena crying her eyes out, thinking that you left." She folded her arms.

"I just needed to cool off. I promise I'm gonna make it better." He said. He then gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. He sprinted upstairs and walked into his room.

There laid the pregnant Selena. She was laying down, typing away on her laptop. When things went bad, she would always turn to writing. She loved it so much that it became one of her problem solver. She looked up to see her dear fiancé. She then ignored him and look right back at her screen.

"Hey." He said as he closes the door. When she didn't reply he walked over to her. She continued to type. "Look I'm sorry for my behavior earlier, I shouldn't have acted that way." He apologized. She looked up at him and the back at her laptop.

"Look, I got this for the twins." He smiled pulling out two onesies. They were both the color of red and had the words displayed 'Thing 1' on one and 'Thing 2' on the other. He showed her them, placing the in front. of the screen.

Selena sighed and grabbed the two onesies. She admired them and imagined her babies wearing them. She started to tear up. "They're so cute." She said to him. He smiled and pulled her in for a hug. Leaving multiple kisses on her forehead.

"Remember that promise?" Nick asked. "Yeah?" Selena said as her chin rested on his shoulder blade. "Well I want you to know that I'm never gonna break it." He said then pecking her pink plump lips. "Good." Selena smiled up at him.
