Home Away From Home

Chapter 15

After they saw Sally, Nick drove them home. When he parked in his driveway, Valerie ran inside her house. She had a date after all. Nick smiled as he watched her. Oh, how he missed her.

"Okay, I think that's enough drooling over my sister." Zack said, interrupting his thoughts.

"Problem?" Nick smirked.

"Yeah, its disgusting.''

"So you're saying I can't droll over your sister?" He arched his brow.

"You can knock yourself out. Just not in front of me."

"Got it." They both got out of the car. "See you later, little guy.'' Zack waved and walked into his house and Nick walked into his. While Nick was getting ready, he tried his best to look great. He wanted to impress Valerie. He wanted her to be proud that he's her boyfriend. Valerie was doing the same. She was hoping his jaw would drop. She doesn't look like his other girlfriends. They were drop dead gorgeous. She thought that all she had were plain blue eyes and brown eyes, that she could never live up to them. She had to look her best. What she didn't know was that to Nick, she was the only girl who was beautiful.

Around 7, Nick knocked on Valerie's door. When Valerie opened it, his mouth dropped. Valerie smiled.

"Just the reaction I was hoping for." Valerie said. Nick's eyes wandered her body. Her curves showed beautifully from her tight blue dress, Nick's favorite color.

"You look beautiful." He could barely speak.

"And you look handsome."

"I tried my best." Nick looked down at his favorite jeans and a button down shirt with Valerie's favorite sneakers.

"Well, you succeeded."

"So did you."

"Who said I even tried?" She knew that she tried at least thirty different outfits before choosing this one.

"Well, either way, you look amazing. Shall we go?" Valerie nodded as she put her hand in his. They walked to Valerie's car and he opened the door for her. After running to his seat, he drove to his destination.
