Nicole Cattell and Jessica Lee have been best friends for years. Jessica knew that Nicole used to have a crush on all fourteen of her brothers but they never saw her as anything besides Jess' best friend. Over the years the boys left to go do their...
Nicole left the courthouse and hurried back to her place.
It had been a couple of months since her encounter with Marc and she hadn't really seen them since. She was shocked when she heard from Jessica that they had bought a mansion out in the country and had decided to stay home for a change. She had to admit she wondered how long this stay would last but she wasn't holding her breath that it was permanent. Their jobs being famous actors meant that they would be off somewhere else real soon filming for another one of their movies no doubt, so she wasn't going to allow herself to get use to seeing them again. She just had to make sure they didn't try to weasel their way back into her heart for however long they were here. She took comfort in the fact that they never stay long so her heart was safe from being broken again by them.
After taking a shower she quickly changed into some jeans and a white tee shirt then braided her hair. She slid into her Vans then headed to the mall to get some shopping done. She was looking for a specific outfit and was determined to get it. Spotting what she was looking for she smiled and grabbed it. Heading home she grabbed the stuff she needed and then bit her lip in nervousness as she sent out a message on her phone. She sat down on her couch with her laptop and focused on some work while she waited for a reply.
Thirty minutes later her phone pinged in response and she smiled as she read it. She could do this. She grabbed her keys and other things she needed then headed to her car.
"Hey Girl, so what's up?" Jess asked as Nicole followed her into the living room.
She forced herself to not roll her eyes seeing the Blackbourne Toma team sitting around. "Well, I need your help," She smiled slyly while biting her lower lip and held out the bags in her hands.
"With?" Jessica asked curiously as she sat in her chair and started going through the bags.
"Helping me get ready for a date," Nicole smiled while Jessica shrieked in excitement.
"With Ethan?" Jess asked and Nicole chuckled.
"Girl, no," She shook her head. "He's dumbass went back to Ashley and her cheating ways. No, this is with someone I met at court last week. We've been texting off and on. He's a lawyer too so he understands my crazy hours."
"Oh," Jessica bounced her knees excitedly. "Tell me everything. I'm so excited for you. This is huge, you are finally taking a step in moving on from the asshole."
"What asshole?" Gabe asked curiously.
"Just her cheating ex fiancé," Jessica waved her hand in the air like it was no big deal. "Anyway what—"
"What the fuck do you mean her fiancé?" Gabe asked interrupting. "When in the fuck were you engaged?"
"Few years back," Nicole rolled her eyes, "If you had been home or in contact you would have known. Now excuse me," She turned back to Jessica. "Let's go to your room so you can help me. He's British so that accent," She blushed while Jessica sighed.
"Oh I love the British accent," Jessica giggled as they climbed the stairs. About an hour later they looked up as they heard Jessica sigh, "Dinner and then dancing, girl you are so lucky!"
"Thank you," Nicole smiled as she entered the living room where a black off the sleeve dress and black knee high booths. Her black hair was straightened and her makeup was smokey eye and red lipstick similar to Morticia Addams. (Outfit found on Google)

"Have fun," Jessica smiled as Nicole grabbed her purse and hugged her, "Text me later."
"I will," Nicole nodded. "Thank you for the help."
"Oh look at you," Erica smiled as she entered the house. "You look lovely Dear."
"Thank you, Momma," Nicole smiled. "I will let Jess fill you in, I have to go or I will be late to my date."
"Oh how exciting, I can't wait to hear all about it," Erica smiled. "Have fun and let me know when you get home so I know you are safe."
"Oh she will Momma," Jessica giggled, "He's British and his name is William. He's taking her dancing. How romantic and so British. Ugh, I'm actually swooning, so not fair. You have to tell me if he has a brother who is just as sweet."
Nicole rolled her eyes while beaming as she left the house and headed to her car. She was excited and nervous to see how this would go, maybe she really was finally moving on with her life and not just lying to herself that she was.
