it was about three weeks later, a week before my birthday and two before christmas break.
"what's up?" my dad asked as i ran into the kitchen.
i dropped all the letters i'd gotten from colleges on the counter.
"college time!" i smiled.
"harvard, dartmouth, university of hawaii, texas tech, ucf, brown university, a&m, purdue, john hopkins, university of colorado, stanford..." he read. "when did you apply for any of these?"
"oh, these are only some." i said. "plus i've been talking to all the baseball coaches at some more colleges and they said they could work a little magic to help me apply to their schools."
"what's the college you want to go to though?"
"i don't know, i want to see where monty get accepted first." i said.
"monty and elliot aside, where you want to go?"
"dartmouth, it's where mom went." i said. "or john hopkins because that's where you went."
"okay, also putting your mom and i aside." he said.
"stanford." i said. "it's just a perfect distance away from here, but still so close."
"let's open all of these." he smiled.
....
"okay i came as soon as i could." monty laughed as he walked into my kitchen. he stopped when he saw the mess on the counter. "what's this?"
"colleges," i smiled. "we couldn't wait to open them but monty..."
"what?"
"i got accepted to all of them except for hawaii, but they can suck my ass." i rolled my eyes.
"wait, i'm seeing harvard and dartmouth..." he said and looked at them. "brown...texas...florida...standford?"
i smiled wider than i thought i could.
"monty, i'm going to fucking college."
"i didn't doubt that you would." he smiled and kissed me. "which one are you chosing?"
"i'm waiting until after the season, for you."
"are you sure?" he asked. "these schools are fantastic."
"i'm waiting." i nodded. "so you better kick ass in these last two games."
"don't you have your first soccer game after we get back from break?"
"hell yeah i do." i smiled.
"nicolette," monty said.
"yeah?"
"i fucking love you."
"i love you too." i kissed him.
....
"baby!" i smiled as i entered chloe's house.
i hurried into the livingroom and saw her sat on the floor, alison in her lap.
"hey guys," she said to monty and i.
"we came to see little miss before heading home."
"here," she handed alison over. "she's missed you nic."
