Life Changing

Chapter 26

Well..ok." Emily said.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

"Great." He said smiling "Tomorrow night at nine?"

"Sure."

"I can't wait."

"Me either."

"Bye."

"Bye."

When Emily got back to her hotel room she called Britt.

"Hello?" Britt said.

"Hey." Emily said. "Guess what."

"What?"

"Nic asked me out tonight."

"Really?"

"Yeah." "We're going to dinner tomorrow night."

"What about Sam?"

"What about him?"

"He's not gonna like this."

"Why would he care?"

"You know why."

"Will you get off of that." "We're just friends." "I'm nervous about going out with Nic but I'm excited to." "I mean it's my first date since my divorce."

"Not the first time you had sex though."

"Oh, shut up." She said jokingly.

"You'll have to let me know how it goes."

"Oh I will."

The next afternoon Sam had just came back from an autograph signing. Emily and Penelope had just finished watching a movie.

"Hi daddy." Penelope said.

"Hi." "What did you guys just finish watching?"

"The Little Mermaid."

"Cool." "Go play in your room for a little bit."

"Ok." She went in her room.

Sam paid Emily and sat down next to her on the couch.

"How'd it go?"

"Good."

"You don't need me tonight do you?"

"No why?"

"I have a date."

"With Nic Nemeth?"

"Yeah." "How'd you know?"

"Penelope told me he's been hanging around with you lately." "So, are you two seeing each other?"

"Tonight's our first date." "I'm nervous."

"I'll bet." "So you must like him huh?"

"He's really sweet and he's nice." "I like talking to him." "Who knows, it might turn into something."

"That's great." He said hiding the annoyance he was feeling.

"I'm gonna go." She stood up. "I'll see you at work tonight."

"Ok." She left. "Damn it." Sam muttered under his breath.

Everyone was just getting to a house show later that afternoon. Emily was getting things ready on the make-up table. She saw Nic walking down the hall.

"Hey good looking." He said smiling.

"Hi." "Don't you look happy."

"I am." "I'm thinking about a beautiful woman I have a date with later."

"Really?" She said smiling.

"Yeah." "See you in a few hours."

"Ok."

An hour later Sam was in catering making a coffee. As he was stirring it the cup fell off the table and spilled.

"God damn it!" He yelled. He got a paper towel to clean it up. As he was bent down cleaning it up Austin came up to the table.

"Chill, it's just spilled coffee."

"I'm just having a bad day." He stood up. He started making another cup of coffee.

"What's up?"

"Nothing."

"Wanna hang out tonight. cool down a little?"

"I can't." "I don't have anyone to watch Penelope." "Emily's busy."

"Busy?" "She's never busy."

"She has a date with Nic Nemeth."

"Oh, that's what's wrong, huh?"

"No." "I just hope she's careful." "I'd hate to see her get hurt again like she did with Travis."

"I don't know what's holding you back but stop being so hard headed and tell Emily how you feel." "You're in love with her, I know you are." "Tell her Sam." "Before it's to late."

"You don't know what you're talking about." He walked away.

Later that night Emily was waiting for Nic to pick her up. She had on a light grey dress. There was a knock at the door. She answered it. Nic was standing there wearing a black sport jacket, a white button up dress shirt and jeans.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." "You look stunning."

"Thank you." "You look handsome."

"Thanks." "Ready?"

"Yeah."

They went to a restaurant. They were eating.

"I'm glad you agreed to come out with me tonight." Nic said.

"I had a feeling you were gonna ask me out."

"How could I not?" "You're gorgeous."

"Thank you." "I was really nervous about this date."

"Why?"

"This is my first date since my divorce." "I'm having a great time though."

"Good." "How long were you married?"

"Just over a year."

"Weren't you pregnant?"

"Yes." "I carried him to term but he was a still born birth."

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry."

"It was devastating but in a way I think it made me stronger." "The situation tore my ex-husband and I apart." "That's why we got a divorce." "You're the first wrestler I've ever been out with."

"Well I'm glad to be your first."

Nic walked Emily back to her room. They were standing outside her room.

"So, do I get a second date?" Bobby asked.

"Yes you do."

"Alright."

"I had a really good time tonight."

"Me to." "Would it be to soon to kiss you?"

"No." They kissed. They both smiled when it broke. "Goodnight Nic."

"Goodnight Emily." She went inside.
