Shape of my heart

"Hey Nicci. Want to have lunch later? My treat."

"Hey Lance. Sure. What time you want to meet?"

"How about 12 at our usual spot?"

She checked her calendar on her phone to make sure it was clear.

"We can do that. Sounds good."

"Ok great. See you in a little bit."

"Later."

They hung up and Nicole went back to work. She was busy up until it was time for her to leave. She grabbed her belongings and walked out her office.

"Sawyer I'll be back a little later. Going to lunch and to run some errands. If anyone calls, have them leave a message." She explains to her assistant.

"Sure thing Ms. Pierce. Have a great lunch." She replied with a smile.

Nicole smiles back and walks to the elevator. The doors open and she walks inside.

Being an entrepreneur was something Nicole always dreamed. She is the co-owner of a successful women's magazine along side her father. She is also a well known author and stylist to the stars. She enjoys doing the things she loves and them not feeling like work. The best job of all is being a mother to her handsome son Jordan. He's 10 and the light of her life. Unfortunately things didn't work out between his father and her but they have a strong relationship because of it. She loves her life and wouldn't change it for the world.

She gets out the elevator and walks to her car. The sound of her heels hitting the ground echoes throughout the parking structure. She placed her purse in the passenger seat and drove off. Nicole pulls up to the restaurant and gets out the car. When she walks up, she sees her best friend Lance sitting at a table in the patio area. She walks over to him with a smile. They hug and exchange kisses on the cheek before she sits at the table.

"Looking beautiful per usual I see." Compliments Lance, before taking a sip of his water.

Nicole was wearing a black blazer with jeweled lapels over a simple loose fitted shirt. She paired it with fitted jeans that hug her curves and black pumps. Her natural curls hung to her shoulders framing her pretty face that showed hardly any makeup.

"Thank you honey. You are looking quite handsome yourself. Michael must have helped you with that look I can tell." She replies with a giggle.

Michael is Lance's husband of 3 years. They are definitely soulmates.

He laughs back. "No this is all me. I'm able to dress myself..sometimes."

Nicole laughed. "Well I'm proud of you right now. My baby is growing up."

"Whatever momma bear."

They laugh as the waitress brings them their food.

"I ordered your food when you were on your way here."

"Aww you remembered what I always get."

It was a full sized chicken Caesar salad with extra chicken.

"Of course. That's what best friends do."

They enjoy their food in comfortable silence for a few minutes before talking again.

"How's everything going with work? Have you and the guys made studio time yet?

"Everything is good. Getting back in the swing of things. I didn't realize how long it's been since we have all been in the studio together. Like what, 15 years?"

Lance is apart of one of the greatest boy bands of all time, *NSYNC. They are in the process making music for their new comeback album.

"It has been a long time. It doesn't even feel like  its been that long."
