Control-Nicholas Chavez

A Saying from His Parents

The next morning when I woke up, I didn't feel Nick beside me. I could hear him talking on the phone while cooking breakfast.
I got up and put one of his old t shirts on and walked towards the kitchen.
It smelt good in there. I saw Nick with his back turnt and only in his underwear.
"Yeah well if that's the case fucking fire him," he says while on the phone.
He turns and looks at me and gives me a quick smile.
"I'll call you back," he says and quickly hangs up the phone.
I hugged him from behind and laid my head on his back.
"We have a busy day," he says.
"Can we just rest?" I whined a little.
"Nope," Nick says quickly. "My dad wants us on his yacht today babes."
"But Nick I might've-"
"That's the thing you didn't have plans today," he interrupts me. "Come on babe I already made plans."
"Fine we'll go Nick but I wish you would've said something before," I said.

"I can tell you don't like the water," Ian, Nicks father says. "I was like that too when I was younger."
"Why?" I asked.
"The water had many great mysteries," he sighs looking at me. "It was dark and deep when I first came to America. And I swore to myself I'll never live near the ocean or even get near it."
I just nodded my head. I looked around for Nick and he was talking to the captain while his mother, Amy was looking over the water.
We were at Catalina's island. Just sitting on the yacht doing nothing.
"You know Nick hasn't had a lot of women in his life," Ian chuckles. "Mainly sluts but not many women."
"What does that mean?" I asked him.
"What he means is that Nick only had a few girlfriends," Amy says. "We're worried about Nick."
"See Nicky has a temper," Ian says looking hesitantly at his wife.
"Yes I know that," I say leaning in towards them and lowering my voice.
"We were just wondering has he done anything to you?" His mother asked with a worried look.
"Not yet but yell," I said.
They both turned to each other and gave each other a worried look.
"All we're saying be-"
"Hey," Nick says coming up behind Amy.
"Hey honey," she says cheerfully.
"Hey, Captain says we're gonna be on here for another hour," Nick says. "So uh, the chefs prepared lunch so come down and eat."

"So how's work for you two?" Amy says.
We were eating lunch inside the yacht as the chefs made us lobster with some pasta. It was good.
"Wonderful," Nick says putting his arm around me. "You know Mia's having her big break and the companies going good."
"Yeah I just have a packed schedule right now," I said.
"You know when are you two going to get married?" Amy asked.
"Um we're not looking for marriage-"
"Soon," Nick says and gives me a look. "You know you'll never know."
"I think you two should," Ian encouraged us.
"Well if Mia isn't ready they should wait,"Amy says looking at me. "It's no rush seriously."
"Well Mia might be ready," Nick says squeezing my hand. "Right Mia?"
"Excuse me I'll be right back," I said getting up from the table.
I went inside the yacht while I didn't realize Amy followed me.
"You know you don't have to marry him," Amy says rubbing my back.
"I want to marry him but I feel like I can't," I said rubbing my forehead.
"You know I wasn't ready for marriage at your age," she says sitting down. "I was scared I just liked the idea of it."
"I want to get married but I don't think Nick will love me the same," I said sitting next to you. "Nicks rich, he might have a couple affairs on the side."
"I feel you," she says. "I went through that exact same situation with Nicks father. Nick might try to play the bachelorette game but he does a very bad job at it."
I laughed at that a little.
"I wish-well if Nick didn't have a temper-"
We were interrupted but muffled yelling outside. Me and Amy gave each other a concerned look and went to the window. We saw  Ian and Nick with two FBI agents and getting lead off the boat. We ran outside to see what was going on.
"Officer what's going on?" Amy asked frantically.
"Mr. Chavez and Mr. Chavez are being taken into questioning," one of the FBI agents says walking away.
The other stayed behind to talk to us.
"They'll be at the station," he says.
"What are they being arrested for?" Amy asked.
"Ian Chavez was involved with money scandals and were taking Nicholas Chavez into questioning."

I was worried sick. The whole time I was in the police department. I was scared for Nick. I knew Nick wasn't involved in any shady businesses or that I know. I've been here for nearly fourteen hours and I haven't even slept yet.
Finally, the door to the interrogation room opened and I saw a tired and irritated Nick.
I stood up and hugged him tightly.
"Let's go home," he says.
Nick walks over where his father was and I followed after him.
"If they ask you questions don't say shit until I get you a lawyer," he whispers to his dad before leaving.

"I legit fucking told him not to be involved with that shit," Nick says punching the steering wheel.
"Nick-"
"Shut the fuck up," he yells. "That's your fucking problem you just yap."
It went silent in the car for a moment and I was stunned at what he said to me. Nick never yelled at me like this.
"I'm sorry Mia it's just my dad," he says calming down and pulling over to the side of the road.
"I just don't want my father going to jail and I have to represent him in court to make sure he doesn't go to jail," he explains.
"Your not involved are you?" I asked.
"No, I don't do shady business scandals," Nick says. "Baby I am sorry. I know I have a short temper I'm just stressed right now you. You understand?"
I nodded and he gave me a kiss on the lips.
"I love you," he says cupping my cheeks with his hands.
"I love you too," I said back.
