Chapter Eighteen: babe, move in with me
Luke's point of view
"Guys, I love Nicky." I tell my best friends: Jason and Tyler. We are at a bar right now. Jason works at the bar so Tyler and I love to come here and chat. Jason grabs me and Tyler another beer.
"We have to meet this chick!" Jason adds while handing us our beers.
"She's not just 'some chick', I want her to move in with me." I add and take a sip of my beer.
"Dude, you love her don't you?" Jason asks and I nod my head yes. I can hear people all throughout the bar laughing and having fun. The bar tv is showing a football game. Nicky told me her Dad was into football which is great for me since I am a football coach. I can smell cologne and perfume. Jason actually bought this bar and I am so happy for him. He has done well for himself despite not going to college but college isn't for everyone.
"Then ask her!" Tyler suggests.
I sigh and say: "What if it's too soon? What if I scare her off? The last thing I want is for her to get scared and shut down."
"Then maybe wait a while, she loves you, right?" Tyler asks and I nod my head yes.
"Maybe just bring it up to her one day and see how she reacts." Jason suggests.
"Good idea." I smile at my friends.
"Does Nicky have any hot friends?" Jason winks at me and I laugh.
"Yes but Angel is a lesbian so I seriously doubt that would work." I explain to him.
"Then can I ask out your sister?" Jason asks and I frown.
"Dude, you are one of my best friends but no, you can't ask out my sister. Kara doesn't need a player like you in her life." I explain.
"Come on, Lukey just-" Jason begins but I stop him and say: "No means no. That's what I tell my students. No is a complete sentence."
"I'm with Lukey on this Jas, you are a player." Tyler adds and I smile back at him.
"You guys are the worst." Jason storms off.
I just roll my eyes. Jason has always been a drama king.
"So Tyler, how are you doing?" I ask him.
"Doing great. Work is great." Tyler beams with happiness.
"How is Wendy and the baby?" I ask.
"Perfect, you have to come to the baby shower! We are announcing the gender of the baby there. Bring Nicky too, I am sure Wendy would love to meet her." He smiles.
"Sure I will ask her." I nod.
I probably do need to text Nicky to check on her. She is having coffee with her Mom, so I hope that went well.
I text Nicky:
Me: Hey hope you are having a good day. Want to hang out at my house and talk after you are done talking with your Mom?
Nicky: Sure that would be great.
Me: Love you! 😊 😊
Nicky: love you too 😊 xoxo
I put my phone away and talk with Jason and Tyler for a few hours. I only had one beer so I am now leaving the bar to go to my house.
I park my car in the garage and shut the garage door. I walk into my house and I smile because I see Buddy running towards me. I smile and pet my favorite dog.
