Life Changing

Chapter 28

Two weeks later Emily woke up in her hotel room to the sound of her alarm clock ringing. She turned it off and got up to get in the shower. She got out of the shower, got dressed and was in the bathroom brushing her teeth. She leaned down to rinse. When she came back up she jumped seeing Nic standing shirtless behind her in the mirror.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"That's ok."

"Damn you look sexy." He said wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing the back of her neck.

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"You need to get ready right?"

"Yeah." He took her hands off of her.

After Nic got ready he was putting on his shoes.

"Dinner tonight beautiful?" He asked.

"I can't." "Remember I have to watch Penelope tonight."

"Oh yeah, I forgot." "Maybe you can talk to John about watching her in my room some time." "We can play games with her and stuff." "It'll be fun."

"I'll ask him."

"Ok."

Emily walked Nic to the door.

"I'll text you later." He said.

"Ok."

"Come here." They kissed. "Bye Emily."

"Bye Nic"

"Have a good day."

"You to." He left.

Later that evening Emily went to John's room to watch Penelope. She knocked on the door. Sam answered it

"Hi." He said.

"Hi." She went in.

"Penelope come here." Penelope came out of her room. "Daddy's leaving." He knelt down. They hugged. "I'll see you in the morning."

"Ok."

"Be good for Emily"

"I always am daddy."

"I know." "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Bye."

"Bye daddy"

An hour later Emily and Penelope were playing a game.

"Penelope would you care if sometime we went to Nic's room while I watched you?"

"No."

"I have to ask your daddy first but next time we might go to Nic's room."

"Ok."

Sam came back later that night.

"How'd it go?" Emily asked.

"Good." He paid Emily and sat down next to her on the couch.

"I wanna ask you something." "Can I take Penelope to Sam's room next time I watch her?"

"No."

"We won't do anything inappropriate while she's there." "We'll just play games and stuff."

"I said no." He said getting irritated.

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." "Why are you dating him?"

"What?"

"I just don't want to see you get hurt again."

"I won't." "Nic's a good guy."

"He's wrong for you." "You could do better." "He's a loser."

"A loser?" "You think my boyfriend is a loser?" She said getting angry.

"Yes I do." She stood up. "It's not gonna work." "You know it's not." "It'll wind up just like it did with Travis."

"You're an asshole."

"I'm just telling you the truth."

She went for the door. "Fuck you." She turned around. "What do you care anyway?" "We don't have feelings for each other, right?!" "Right?"

"Right!"

"Why am I even listening to your relationship advice?" "It's coming from a guy who hasn't had a girlfriend in over a year."

"Funny, I don't remember you having any complaints." She left slamming the door behind her.

Emily went to Nic's room and knocked on the door. He answered it.

"Hey beautiful." He said.

"Hi." She went inside and shut the door. She kissed him. He kissed her back.

Three hours later they were laying in bed together.

"Wow." Nic said. "What did I do to deserve that?"

"I just missed you." She kissed him.
