"Christina!" Robert comes and gives me a big hug and it's strange to get a hug from him. "I missed you so much."

"Um... Robert, I can't breath." I say with my hands at my sides.

"Oh, um.... Sorry. It's nice to see you again." Is he really going to talk to me like he actually knows me? 

"Yeah." I say awkwardly.

"Oh here." He grabs two luggages. "I can take these if you could take the last one." I nod and grab the last one following him out of the exit doors to a very nice red car.

"This is your car?" I ask. It couldn't possibly be... could it?
 

"Yeah. It's an Audi R8. Nice right?" He says patting the trunk in appreciation.

"Really nice."

"You can go take a seat. I've got the luggages." He says grabbing the luggage from my hand. I take a seat in the back and its nice. It has black leather seats and the steering wheel is matching the exterior of the car. "You can sit in the front you know." He laughs. I get out of the back opening the door and open the front door and take a seat. "You ready to head home?" I nod my head and we pull into the traffic. Minutes later the phone rings and Robert picks it up. "Hey honey." honey? "Yeah we just got into the car and were heading home. I guess we can go to the store. Didn't you go? I didn't go. I had work babe. You know that." Babe? "Ok. Hold on. Christina could you grab a notepad and pen from the glove compartment o write down these items?" He asks pulling the phone away from his ear. I nod and do as asked. "Ok. She's got it. Tomatoes, tomato paste, parsley, onions, garlic." he looks at me to make sure I'm writing what he's telling me and I am. "French bagets... What is that? Oh, why didn't yo u just say bread? Lasagna shells, pasta, and eggplants. Geez honey. We buying the whole store? I'm just messing. Is that all? Ok, we'll see you later. I love you too." I love you? Is he married again?

"Who was that?"

"I was going to tell you but you were so upset I didn't want to upset you more. But that was Victoria... My fiance." Upset? Me be upset? Why would I be upset?

"Oh... I'm not upset." Why am I lying? Of course I'm upset. "Congratulations."

"Thank you. This means a lot to have your approval Christina."

We pull into the Walmart parking lot. It took us almost an hour to get through traffic and almost another hour even though the actual drive would have been 15 minutes. But traffic is crazy in Los Angeles.

"Are you going in? You can be get whatever  You want." I nod and invincible my seat belt getting out of the car. "I'll be in the food section so I guess Just meet me around here." I nod and walk off. I grab a bag of ruffled lays chips, a few mini Oreo cups which if you ask me is better than getting regular Oreos dipped in milk. At least this way you can just add milk and eat it with a spoon. Anyways, back to grabbing food. I grab a pack of Hershey 's kisses both regular and the candy cane peppermint one, oh those are so good. I bend to grab a bag if mixed chocolates with twix, stickers, milky ways, and milk duds. As I get back up I hit something hard and my glasses fall off.

"Hey watch where you're..." I see a tall figure bend down to help me pick up the bags I dropped. "Um. Hi. Sorry for hitting you."

"Um... It's fine." I say pulling my beanie back on. I don't really need glasses all that much but they definitely make things less blurry. Glasses... where are my glasses? I'm about to look around but the stranger is in front of me again. "Do you need help getting up?" I'm now.staring into these blue orbs.

"Um. No. I'm fine." I say completely forgetting about my glasses. He gives me his hand anyways. He kind of just looks at me and I do at first but look away. He brings his hand to fix his hair that has fallen to the front. He has really nice hair... the blonde mixes with the brown perfectly.

"Oh there you are babe. I was looking everywhere for you." A girl with blonde curly hair hugs Niall from behind and he rolls his eyes. She then comes in front of him and he is looking at me mouthing "help" and I laugh. I see Robert walk past the aisle I'm in and walk past them because Niall seems occupied with the girl who is now kissing him. Gross.

Niall's POV:

Steph just puts herself all over me. I mouth help at this mystery girl who I haven't gotten a name from and she laughs. She has a really nice smile. Stephany starts kissing me and I'm about to tell her to get off so I could ask the girl what her name was but she walked away in a hurry. I didn't even get her name.

Christian's POV:

"Hey is this too much?" I ask Robert showing him the five items and he laughs.

"No. That's barely anything. I was hoping you'd grab more." I set the items I have done and offer to push the cart which he declines so I walk next to him awkwardly. He finishes grabbing the last few items and we head to the cashier. "Didn't you have glasses?" He asks. Shoot. I run more like speed walk to the candy aisle where I dropped my glasses... Well, where he bumped them off of me. He's kinda cute. It doesn't matter. You'll never see him again anyways. I pick up my glasses and there's a small crack on the lenses. Great just great. This is exactly I needed. I put on the glasses and walk back to where Robert was but he has finished checking out and he's waiting for me by the exit we walked into. "You good now?" I nod my head and we walk to the car. I help him load the bags and we drive home. He into a double driveway and there is another car similar to this, just in silver. I help him grab the bags and he unlocks the door so we walk inside. "Honey we're home." He walks into the kitchen to be greeted by a very petite woman. But she has a round belly. She must be pregnant. He gives her a kiss on the cheek.

She give me a hug. "You must be Christina! Oh, you're dad has told me so much about you." He couldn't know anything about me. he wad never around to know. "You're so beautiful! Oh, you must be exhausted. I really am. Come, come. I'll show you to your room." She pulls my arm and for a small pregnant lady, she's very fast. We walk to the end of the hallway and she stops. "Here you are!" She opens the door and the room is very pretty. The walls are kind of like the summer fruit eos egg color. The trimming are white and the dressers and desks are white as well with black accessories like lamps and such. The bed is a black and white vintage cover and I like it. A lot. "What do you think?"

"It's really nice. Thank you."

"It was his problem. I'll let you sleep. You're probably tired from the long ride. I'll wake you when lunch is ready." She leaves and at that I take off my shoes and beanie and fall asleep in the new place that I have to call home.
