Professor Hiddleston 2 : THE RETURN

II

Nick's POV

God she's gorgeous. It's stupid I know. All she is doing is pushing a small shopping trolley yet I cannot take my eyes off her. It's like I am in a trance that I can't get out of, that I don't want to get out of.

"So I was thinking of getting the typical barbecue food, sausages, burgers, ribs etc" Her melodic voice fills my ears. Damn I have only met her today yet I'm so intrigued by her. Both body and soul. I sound like a thirteen year old virgin who's about to have his first kiss, god I'm pathetic.

"Hmmm, sure yeah" Her body, god her body is amazing, so beautiful and let me tell you them jeans are doing wonders for her backside. Hearing a cough I look up and see Olivia looking at me in amusement, a pink tint highlighting her cheeks.

"Sorry..." I laugh, clearly being caught in the act. Do I regret it? Definitely not.

1 hour later

We had now got back to Olivia's house, pulling her car up on the drive she jumps out unlocking the boot of the car.
"Here let me get these" I say rushing to take the bags before she can get to them.

She shakes her head " 24/7 gentleman eh?" She starts heading across the road to the house opposite, in which I remember is her friends Jessie's house. She spoke of her fondly whilst we were walking around the supermarket. She adores her and it sounds like it was fate for them two to meet.

Olivia is so strong, from what she told me about her past, I couldn't believe she was still as strong as she is. She didn't go into too many details, and I didn't want to push it but she told me enough. She also asked me for advice on the situation with Hudson's father. I told her honestly, from a mans pov that I would want to know. I can't imagine the shock he will have when he finds out, but with that being said I don't blame her either. It's a hard situation, one I wouldn't want to be in.

Within seconds we were at the front door of Jessie's house.

"Damn I thought we'd never see you again you were gone foreve-" From who I can tell, Jessie stops, looking dumbfounded. I'm assuming it's because I'm a stranger, next to Liv with my hand on her back.

"Hi, Nick, Nick Fisher. I'm the new neighbour across the street. I actually live next to Olivia here." I reach my hand out shaking her hand. She gives Liv a questioning stare.

"Nice to meet you, you here for the barbecue?" She smiles, straightening out her blouse, letting us through the door. I nod smiling in her direction. She blushes and points us towards the kitchen. Setting the bags down, I hear small footsteps all of a sudden. Looking over my should I see Olivia and her son interacting. You ask how I know? Well for one it's obvious, from what Liv told me and two he is a spitting image of her.

Walking in their direction I wave at the small boy. Absolutely adorable. He waves back and whispers something in his mums ear. She whispers back "My new friend Nick".

With a smile, I realise I am really going to enjoy working here.

......

Walking into the back garden, leaving the other three playing in the lounge, just to get a minute of fresh air I find my favourite spot. Sitting down in the swing chair in Jessie's back garden I look up to the sky and imagine how different my life would be if I hadn't moved here, met Jessie or even had Hud.

All of a sudden I get a notification from Instagram on my phone. It was a picture a few years ago before I left, one of me and the guy who broke my heart. The guy who I though put was different to the other but me being stupid was silly enough to believe that.

Running my finger over his face I sigh. I really miss him. This was the guy I told we needed time away from each other, a break, something that we would appreciate. After the small amount of time I've been away I've come to the understanding that he is the one I truly love and yes this break has been hard but I think it's time to keep my promise to him.

Scrolling through my photo album in search of others I come across, someone else who was close to my heart. Christian. Pictures of me and him cuddling, his lips on my cheek, smiling and laughing. I've lied to him for the past couple of years, yet I ran away from him for the exact same reason. I'm a hypocritical coward. Searching for the phone book on my iPhone, I search his name. I probably should've got rid of it ages ago but I never had the courage to do so. I told myself in the car, when I had left the graduation that I would only keep Toms contact, but now looking back it was a good thing I didn't delete Chris' number. I mean how else am I supposed to contact him to tell him he was a father.

Clicking on his number, and pressing the phone to my ear I nervously tap my fingers on the chair, waiting for him to pick up. How would he react? We were never like me and Tom, we hadn't spoke of children or anything to do with our future. Maybe it's because I never saw him and myself in the future as more than friends..

" Hello.." I hear from the other end of the line. With a shaky breath I stop myself from gasping. His voice brought back so many memories, so much hurt. But I'm stronger now. He needs to know, this is the right thing to do.

"Its Olivia" I say nervously. It was time to tell Chris about Hudson, his little boy.

"Oh my god, Liv is that you" He says with a shocked tone. I hadn't contacted him once, even when he left me dozen of voicemails when I left, begging me to come back. After a year he had stopped. Tom never done that, I guess he was being respectful of my wishes and what I had hoped would be good for our relationship. I mean was there even a relationship anymore? We hadn't seen each other in so long, for all I know Tom could be married by now.

"Chris, oh god I'm so sorry, I need to tell you something. I should've told you a long time ago but I was scared. I was scared you would hate me. I was also scared you'd come and find me..."

"I never thought I'd hear your voice again. What's the matter are you ok?" He says worriedly.

"When I left, I didn't realise at first, but I was pregnant. It's yours Chris. He is a spitting image of you" There was no sound on the other end of the line.

"I-I have a s-son?" He says shocked. Oh god maybe this wasn't a good idea. What if he hates me and Hud, what if he never wanted kids, especially with me.

"Yes..." I say guiltily.

"What's his name?" He says. I can't imagine what's going through his head right now. For one he's speaking to me after all them years and now I tell him he has a son. How stupid am I.

"Hudson, his names Hudson".
