My Life with the Boys

Chapter 38- Moments

I have been avoiding Zack as much as possible. I know this sounds completely stupid and this is my opportunity to tell him how I feel and to stop him from marrying that bitch Natalie but I am scared. Before I didn't really think I had a chance. But now I have an opportunity to have a real future, a real life with Zack. But what if I make myself believe that we are going to get married and have kids and live happily ever after but then we get into some stupid fight and break up again. I don't think I can go through that heartbreak again. I would be destroyed. So no. It is best if I just avoid him and the whole situation all together. He can go to Australia and live a happy life and I will stay here and focus on my career and Evie. I don't need a man to make me happy. Maybe I should become a lesbian? Nah.. I never really liked girls as friends, much less as more than that.

Luckily I have had plenty of stuff going on to keep me busy. I have been practically living at the studio as I get it all furnished and the equipment ordered as well as sorting out all the clients and so on. It is actually more fun than I expected. I also hired staff. That is right I am officially a boss. And it is awesome. I have two cleaners, three dance teachers, and Caitlin who helps me with all the office calls and financing and so on. She is basically like my assistant but she is much more important than that. I wouldn't have been able to do all of this without her.

"So that is the last spot of the baby ballet class filled up." Caitlin hangs up the phone.

"Great. Make sure to add them to the system." I remind her.

"Already on it." She says smiling as she types away at the computer.

"Great. Did the curtains for the auditorium arrive yet?" I ask her.

"Yes. The guy is installing them now. The chairs and your desk for the office have arrived too." She informs me.

"Great." I grin.

I was really fed up of doing all my work from one of those foldable table things.

"Alison, I can finish up here. It is late. Why don't you go home?" Cait suggests.

"Fine." I sigh. "I will see you in the morning." I tell her. "Goodnight!"

"Night!" She calls as I walk out the door.

I drive over to Noah and Nicole's house where Evie was staying for the evening. Nicole says she needs the practice with her little one on the way and everything.

"Hello!" I call out as I let myself in with my house key.

"In here." I hear Noah and follow his voice to the kitchen, passing a sleeping Nicole with Evie also fast asleep in her arms on the couch.

"Hey. They look so cute. Did Evie tire her out?" I ask.

Noah nods. "Yeah that happened about an hour ago. She has been tired lately."

"That is normal." I respond.

"So... What is going on?" He asks, giving me a knowing look.

"What? What do you mean? Nothing is going on?" I answer a little too quickly.

"Ally just spill it. You were never good at keeping things from me." He reminds me.

"Zack and I had a fight. Sort of." I answer.

He looks at me confused. "You guys always fight."

"Yeah but this was different. This was... Complicated." I try to explain.

"Complicated?" He asks.

"He told me he loved me." I say slowly.

"He did?" He looks surprised so I am guessing he didn't know about Zack's feelings either. "How do you feel about him?"
