This one is dedicated to Sparklydragon because she made me the BEST book cover EVER!!!!! I'm so Stoked about it!
"Well? What does it mean? What is going to happen now Tucker?" I sat up on my elbow so I could look at him.
"It means I just told you I like you, have for a while, and I want to be with you. You figure out what to do with the rest." He kissed my forehead and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" I laid down on my stomach looking up at him.
"Bathroom, keep talking." He walked out of the room and into the bathroom that was next door to the bedroom.
"So... Your saying you want to be with me? Why would you want to be with me? I have a daughter, and I strip for a living." I buried my head in the pillows, not really wanting to hear his response.
"Yes Scar. I want to be with you. I love you." He paused. I picked my head up definitely wanting to hear the rest. "I love Norah too, and I would do anything to be with you and Norah all the time. I've been trying to tell you and you never picked up on my subtle hints." He laughed, walking back into the bedroom.
"Wait, you want me even though I have Norah?" I sat up looking at him puzzled.
"No. I want you and I want Norah. Norah isn't a burden to me. It's a bonus getting her with you." He smiled and sat down next to me. It finally clicked in my head what was going on.
"So what are you trying to say Tucker?" I started teasing, I wanted him to tell me what he wanted straight to my face. He took my hand and looked me straight in the eye.
"I'm asking you to go out with me. I want you to be my girlfriend." He sighed and dropped his head down.
"Yes Tucker, Norah and I would love to go out with you." I busted up laughing. It was kind of funny that Norah and I had a date now. I got up and walked over to my closet. looking at my selection of clothes. I grabbed my ripped jeans off the shelf in the top of the closet, and slipped them on. They are my favorite jeans and I wear them as often as I can. They are as tight as jeans could get, and had about 7 rips in them. They flared out at the bottom and looked amazing on me and made my butt look fantastic. I started picking through my shirts. There were a couple I wanted to wear, so I decided to ask Tucker which one he thought I should wear. He was my boyfriend. I liked the way that sounded. I turned around with a variety of shirts in my arms. I held one up next to my body and looked up at Tucker. "Don't answer till you've seen them all. OK?" The shirt I had up next to my body was black, and had a graphic that looked like I had three different necklaces on me. They all hung down to the belly. I pulled that one off and pulled the next one up. It was a dark pink that had words on it. If you read it top to bottom it said Next, I'm not, Girl, The, Door. But if you read it how it's supposed to say I'm not the girl next door. I pulled it away and set it on the bed, and put up my last one. It was white and said Heart breaker with a broken heart in the middle. "OK, so what do think. Which one should I wear?" I looked at him with all seriousness.
"I'm gonna say the white one. But I thought you were going back to bed?" He looked at me.
"No, I can't sleep now. I'm gonna go make some breakfast for Norah. Do you want some?" I said slipping on my white heart breaker shirt. I pulled my black socks on and started walking to the living room. I turned around to see Tucker still sitting on the bed. I walked back in the bed room and picked up his hand and pulled him to his feet. "Come with me." I smiled. We walked to the living room. Tucker sitting on the couch I walked to the kitchen to start Norah's eggs, she would be up any minute. I pulled a small frying pan out from under the sink, and set it on the stove. I opened the fridge and pulled out the eggs and set them on the counter, grabbed the vegetable oil out from above the stove. I poured some in the pan and cracked an egg in it. It boiled immediatly.
When I had made enough eggs for Norah, Tucker and I I put the eggs back in the fridge and shut the stove off. I walked Norah and Tucker's plate out to the living room and set them on the coffee table. I went back and grabbed mine and set it on the table too. I walked down the hall to Norah's room and pushed the door open to peek inside. She was still laying on her bed sleeping. I tip toed in the room and sat on the edge of her bed, shaking her she started waking up, she opened her eyes and smiled at me. I picked her up and carried her out to the living room and set her down next to Tucker. "Well hey there cuttie! What are you doin? You wanna have some breakfast with me?" He smiled down at Norah.
"Yeah." Norah screamed. Tucker ans I started laughing. She is so cute. We all sat down to eat breakfast having small conversations and laughs at Norah when I heard something. "Shh!" I listened really hard. Thwack. I looked at Tucker and he pointed at Norah. I picked up Norah's plate, grabbed Norah's hand and ran to her room. She had a unfinished bathroom that had some boxes we could hide behind. I pulled the door open to the bathroom and started pushing boxes aside so we could get in, I heard the door open and close and I knew Tucker had left. I pulled the boxes back into the original places they had sat once we were behind them. I heard the door open and close again and I held my breath. Tucker couldn't be back already. I heard foot steps and I heard someone enter Norah's room. Norah started whining pointing at her food, I handed it to her and she started to eat silently. The footsteps sounded like they were getting closer and closer to the bathroom. I heard the door open and I saw a person stick there head in the bathroom looking up to see if there was a light. It was the guy from last night. I put my hand over Norah's mouth and sat real still. Praying she wouldn't make any noise.
