COMPLETED!!
With a 4 year old in tow, Cara has moved to her parents home town after leaving her abusive ex. After setting her and her daughter up, Cara finds herself caught between a handsome duo by the names of John and Nick Carter.
With an abusiv...
Friday night rolled around, to say I was excited would be an understatement. I don't know why John get's me all giddy like this but I like it.
I went out and bought few clothes considering the emptiness screaming at me back at home. I bought essentials and a few things for Lex and of course, bought something for my date tonight with John. Can I call it a date? or is it just dinner?

Cara's Dress
The dress sits just above my knee and allows quite a view up top. Of course being curvier and a little fuller than the mannequin I've had to make some adjustments. It hugs my hips and full behind, I've strategically placed a couple pins in the cleavage area to lessen the attraction to them.
All in all I feel beautiful. I know it's possibly not a date but I cant help but want to look extra nice. You want to impress him.
I leave my hair down and slip on my black heels and head over to Mum and Lex who are sitting in the lounge watching tv.
"How do I look?" I say doing a quick twirl.
I hear them both gasp, Lex is immediately up flicking the ends of my dress around.
"Oh Mumma! So pretty!" Lex hummed, fussing around with the skirt.
"Dear you look stunning! John is a lucky man!" Mum gushes, I inwardly squeal with that comment but of course, I tone it back.
"We are just friends mum..." I blush. She only nods and picks Lex up for me so I can give her a kiss good bye.
"Will you be good? I'll be home later. I love you." She smiles and nods.
There's a knock at the door and my skin prickles, I am really nervous. There is so many things going through my head, like what will people think of me? Hunter will lose his shit.
Before I can say anymore, Lex has opened the door to John. He looks amazing, Grey button down shirt, dark jeans and nice shoes. I gather myself before I melt into the ground.
Lex runs over to John and tugs on the side of his pants, trying to grab his attention. He looks down and smiles before getting onto his knees and ducking his head.
Lex leans up and whispers into John's ear. I watch John's face morph from happy to shocked and back to happy. I'd say it was a unicorn secret, I'll have to fill him in.
Lex and John both nod to each other smiling, I have melted. There's something about a giant of a man and tiny child exchanging whispers and giggles.
John stands back to his full height and walks over to me, he grabs my hand and kisses the knuckles.
"You look stunning Cara." He whispers, I squeeze his hand and smile in thanks.
"We should get going... Are you ready?" I nod to john and smile back at mum and Lex who- I'm sure are melting equally.
John offers his arm, I smile and take it remembering when Nick did the same at work that night. I hope Nick isn't upset I turned down the offer, but how could I have said no to John?
We slip into his truck, he smiles over at me and brings the gurgling truck to life. I watched on in fascination at how smoothly he drives and changes gears. The whole drive to the cute little pub, he had a smile on his face.
We come to a stop, and like a true gentleman, John gets out and opens up my door, helping me out. I steady myself on his arm and let him lead me in.
He has a quick chat to some of the older patrons sitting by the door. Everyone seems to know everyone here.
I feel like he's leading me over to a small little table tucked in the back, until I hear someone call out to the both of us. I whip my head around and my eyes meet with another dusty grey pair.
Nick.
And like 20 other people. John tenses and turns around to meet Nick. Did he not know this was where they were catching up? Before Nick reaches us, John pulls me close and whispers in my ear, leaving prickles all over my skin.
"I'm so sorry, I hope you don't mind us sitting with them, he wont leave us alone otherwise.." sit with them? My eyes widen as I look over and see Nick and the others staring at us.
I nod and smile back at John, sympathy lacing my features. We make our way over to the table, I see almost everyone from work. I unlatched myself from John's arm and make my way over to Claire, I give her a hug.
"Happy Birthday Claire! If I knew I was coming here I would've brought your gift!" I say, feeling bad.
I catch John and Nick smirking at y exchange with Claire. What is their problem?
"Cara dear, It's okay. You couldn't have known! My boys are probably up to something." She smiled lovingly. Her boys? What?
"Your boys? Your sons are here?" I questioned. I'm starting to get the feeling I'm gonna know who her sons are...
"John and Nick Carter... Oh goodness I'm sorry dear! I thought you knew? I'm Claire Carter. Their mother." She smiled rubbing my arms.
I literally feel the colour drain from my face. Good lord. Okay, no biggie. Brush it off. I regain my composure and smile back at Claire who is now screwing up her face at the two smirkholes.
"Oh no John didn't mention that, neither did Nick... It's okay I'm sure I would've found out one way or another!" I laugh, good cover.
She nods and smiles and goes back to her seat. Before the guys can come up to me, Ben has blocked my view. An attractive view but not as attractive as the double view behind him.
"Hey Cara, didn't think I'd see you here?" No I didn't either.
"Oh hey Ben, yeah somehow ended up at the same place, coincidence right?" I smile. I think not.
"Can I buy you a drink?" He asks, his eyes looking hopeful. Ugh, I don't wanna be the one to shut him do-
"No she's alright Ben, John just ordered her one.." Nick saves the day and slaps Ben on the back in a friendly gesture.
"Oh.. Alright then," Ben smiles, a little disheartened "Maybe later Cara?" He's way too nice I swear.
"Oh, yeah sure Ben." I smile, it would be impolite, he's been so welcoming to me I can't be rude. I watch as Ben retreats and Nick and John both huddle around me.
Again, I really don't know these two at all. I mean yes we are neighbours, yes I work for one and the other has a dog who is my daughter's best friend. But still...
I watch them both, with approving looks in their eyes as they scan my body. It fills my body with confidence and leads me to say the thing I say next.
