Chapter 13
'Holy shit!' Nick thought. He started to panic as he looked at
Cindy pulling her dress down and buttoning it closed. “You’re here?!” Nick
said into the phone as he began to quickly tuck in his shirt trying to look presentable.
“Yes. What do I do, keep walking til I find your name on the door?” Selena asked as she held Nina in her arms walking around the floor in a cubicle maze.
“Uhh…uhm…yea. Just uh…Im in…uhm, my office number is 14-6B.” Nick said nervously as he continued to make himself look presentable.
“Oh…well come get me, I think im lost in cubicle city.” Selena teased as she started to giggle.
“Yea, just stay put, Im on my way.” Nick quickly hung up the phone. Nick looked at Cindy as she rubbed her fingers replacing any loose strands of hair back into her ponytail. “My fucking wife is here.”
Cindy smiled, “Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that she called and said she was coming to see you.”
Nick was walking in the direction to his door when he stopped in his tracks and looked back at Cindy. “You knew she was coming? Now?” Nick asked frustrated.
“Well I knew she was coming, but not this second. Geez, calm down.” Cindy said calmly as she walked passed him and opened the door.
“Yes. What do I do, keep walking til I find your name on the door?” Selena asked as she held Nina in her arms walking around the floor in a cubicle maze.
“Uhh…uhm…yea. Just uh…Im in…uhm, my office number is 14-6B.” Nick said nervously as he continued to make himself look presentable.
“Oh…well come get me, I think im lost in cubicle city.” Selena teased as she started to giggle.
“Yea, just stay put, Im on my way.” Nick quickly hung up the phone. Nick looked at Cindy as she rubbed her fingers replacing any loose strands of hair back into her ponytail. “My fucking wife is here.”
Cindy smiled, “Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that she called and said she was coming to see you.”
Nick was walking in the direction to his door when he stopped in his tracks and looked back at Cindy. “You knew she was coming? Now?” Nick asked frustrated.
“Well I knew she was coming, but not this second. Geez, calm down.” Cindy said calmly as she walked passed him and opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Selena coming down
the walk way. Selena was wearing a low cut black knitted top which showed her
cleavage and stomach. She wore skinny jeans and black baby doll flat shoes. Cindy
gasped in shock when she saw Selena, “Selena! Hi! So good to see you again!”
Cindy smiled and looked at Nina who was resting her head nuzzled into Selena’s
neck. “And look as this precious cutie patootie.” She began to gently pinch
Nina’s cheek. Nina turned her head away.
“Hi Cindy.” Selena smiled not really giving Cindy the excited return greeting. Selena looked at Nick who looked slightly frazzled as he followed behind Cindy out of his office. “Hey.” Selena said to Nick.
“Hey baby! What are you doing here?” Nick said fixing his tie.
Before Selena could respond, Cindy said, “Well, I should go, I have some work to get done. Always good to see you, Selena, love those shoes. They look so comfortable. I wish I could be as comfortable as you.” She then walked away with a smile plastered on her face.
Selena frowned. Nick saw her look and quickly invited her into his office. Once Selena was in his office, Nick closed the door behind them. “Baby, what are you doing here?” Nick asked again.
“Did she just talk about me and my shoes on a sly?” Selena said as Nina practically jumped into Nick’s arms happy to see her daddy. Nick took Nina into his arms and looked at Selena. Selena flipped her hair to the side and put her hands on her hips.
“No, you look fine. You look great,” Nick said giving Selena a peck on the lips.
Selena thought for a moment and then snapped out of her thoughts when she realized the beautiful view Nick had from his office. “Oh my gosh, Nick…this is absolutely breath taking. No wonder you work all hours of the day. You have a great view. This is really nice.” Nick slightly smiled and pulled up a chair for Selena to sit in while holding Nina. “Sel, have a seat. You still haven’t told me why you’re here.”
Selena stepped away from the huge windows and sat down in the chair across from Nick. “What, you act like you don’t want me here.” Nick sat down in his chair placing Nina in his lap. Nina immediately started to slap the glass desk as she started talking gibberish. “No, it’s just that…you never come to my job. Well, it’s been a while since you’ve ever come up to my job. Is everything okay?”
Selena stared at Nick suspiciously for a second. She pushed a few strands of her hair behind her ear and said, “Well, I wanted to surprise you and see if you wanted to have lunch together.”
“Oh.” Nick said surprised as he bounced Nina on his lap. “Uhm…yeah…well…” Nick hesitated as he started shuffling paper work around on his desk, still frazzled on the fact that he just cheated on his wife and she almost caught him.
Selena stood up, “Look, if you’re too busy to eat with your wife and child, then I guess I can understand, she said disappointed.”
“No, no, no…I can. WE can…go eat lunch…together.” Nick said trying to gather his thoughts. He stood up adjusting Nina in his arms. “Yeah…let’s just go.” Nick walked around his desk and handed Nina over to Selena so he could grab his suit jacket from around the back of his chair.
Selena smiled. “Cool. Hey I was thinking maybe Mr. Clooney could meet Nina too, since Im here. Isn’t she super cute today? I love this head band around her head.” Nick smiled still slightly trying to gather himself.
“Yeah. But, uhm…George is kind of busy, so maybe another time.” Nick then rushed Selena out of his office.
“Hi Cindy.” Selena smiled not really giving Cindy the excited return greeting. Selena looked at Nick who looked slightly frazzled as he followed behind Cindy out of his office. “Hey.” Selena said to Nick.
“Hey baby! What are you doing here?” Nick said fixing his tie.
Before Selena could respond, Cindy said, “Well, I should go, I have some work to get done. Always good to see you, Selena, love those shoes. They look so comfortable. I wish I could be as comfortable as you.” She then walked away with a smile plastered on her face.

“Yeah. But, uhm…George is kind of busy, so maybe another time.” Nick then rushed Selena out of his office.
Moments later, Nick, Selena and Nina arrived at a local
diner a few blocks away from Nick’s work place. Selena sat Nina down in her car
seat next to her in the booth as Nick sat across from them. Selena thought Nick
was acting weird. She couldn’t understand why and wondered if it was even a
good idea that she surprised him. He hadn’t even commented on how she was
dressed. “Nick…?”
As if snapping out of his deep thoughts, Nick responded thoughtfully, “Yeah?”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah! Why?” he responded quickly.
“I dunno, you’re acting…weird. Like something is wrong.”
Nick picked up the menu and started look thru it as he responded, “What? No, everything is fine. Everything is good.”
Selena stared at Nick. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but something wasn’t right. She then noticed a reddish purple bruise on his neck. “What’s that?”
Nick looked up at Selena from the menu. “What’s what?”
“That.” Selena pointed to her own neck gesturing where the mark she saw on his neck. Nick’s eyes widen very quickly when he realized that Cindy must have left a hickey on his neck during their sex act a few moments ago. Selena continued, “On your neck; What is that?”
As if snapping out of his deep thoughts, Nick responded thoughtfully, “Yeah?”
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah! Why?” he responded quickly.
“I dunno, you’re acting…weird. Like something is wrong.”

Chapter 14
Nick quickly placed his hand over his neck trying to cover
it as he quickly thought of a lie. “Oh…yeah…damn, I guess I did leave a mark
after all.” Nick laughed a nervous laugh.
“What are you talking about?”
“Earlier this morning I was dealing with some files…you know how you have a huge stack of papers bundled together with a rubber band? Well, I fumbled with the rubber band and the damn thing snapped hard and hit me in the neck.” Nick laughed as if it was a joke. “It hurt, but I didn’t realize it wld leave a mark. Crazy huh?”
Selena only stared at Nick not responding to his story. “I guess.” She mumbled as she crossed her arms infront of her chest.
At that moment the waitress approached their table and took their orders, walking away with their menus. Selena looked down at Nina and noticed she had fallen asleep. She looked up at Nick who appeared to have been in deep thoughts as he looked out the window. “Nick, you haven’t even commented on my outfit.” Nick turned his attention to Selena. Selena continued, “I mean, I was hoping to get your attention a little by surprising you where for once im not wearing baggy clothes and have lunch as a family…but apparently this wasn’t a good idea.”
“What? Nooo, why do you say that?”
“I guess you have other things on your mind…like your job.” Selena replied disappointed.
Nick reached across the table to hold her hand. “No, I love that you came to surprise me,” he gave a little chuckle, “Of all days, you came today. That’s great.” He then pulled her hand up to his lips and kissed it. “And you look beautiful and sexy…as always. Even when you’re wearing baggy clothes…and especially when you wear my oversized shirts.” Nick smiled showing his dimple.
Selena smiled. “Nick, I know I don’t show it sometimes, but I miss ‘us’. I miss you.”
Just when Nick was about to respond they were interrupted by Cindy walking up to their table. “Oh my gosh, I had no idea you two were going to be here! Great minds think alike, right!”
Selena and Nick looked up at her slightly annoyed. “Cindy, what are you doing here?” Nick asked thru his teeth.
Cindy laughed. “Duh, boss man, it is a diner, and Im trying to get some food. I mean that is okay with you , right?” Cindy then proceeded to slide into the booth sitting next to Nick, making him slide over. Selena pulled her hand away from Nick and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Selena glared at Nick waiting for him to tell Cindy to leave. “Awe, is that precious angel sleeping? She is so adorable!”
Nick saw how annoyed Selena looked. “Uhm, Cindy, do you mind – “
Cindy interrupted Nick saying, “Oh before you say anything, don’t worry, I will be out of your hair shortly, but my uncle George needed you to sign these papers. It’s a good thing I brought it with me, right?” She placed the papers in front of Nick to sign.
“Are you serious? I mean, he’s on a lunch break with his family. This can’t wait until he gets back to the office?” Selena asked frustrated with Cindy.
Cindy looked at Selena and smiled as she tilted her head to the side. “Well actually, sweetie, no it can’t. My uncle needs this right away. So Im glad I caught him here.”
Selena frowned. “Im not your sweetie.” Selena said with an attitude.
Nick could sense the tension starting to heat up between Selena and Cindy. Nick quickly signed the papers and chimed in before Cindy could respond, “Okay! Here you go, Cindy. Thanks. Now if you don’t mind I would like to finish lunch with my wife.” Nick looked at Cindy directly in her eyes to show how serious he was. Cindy stared back at Nick slightly hurt at how he was pretty much kicking her out of the booth. There was an awkward silence at the table.
As if on cue, the waitress brought Selena and Nick their food. The waitress looked at Cindy sitting at the table. “Can I get you something ma’am?”
Cindy snapped out of her stare at Nick and put on a fake smile for the waitress. “No, I have my order at the register.” The waitress nodded and walked away. Cindy proceeded to grab the papers off of the table and place it in her bag. She looked like she was pissed off. “I will leave now. Im sorry to have interrupted your lunch together.” She glared at Nick. “See you back at work.” Cindy quickly got up from the booth and walked away switching her hips side to side.
Nick rubbed his fingers thru his curly hair and took a deep breath relieved that Cindy was gone. Selena glared at Nick. “What’s going on between you two?”
Nick looked at Selena in shock. “What?”
“You heard me, Nick.” Selena said starting to get upset.
“Sel, baby, please stop. Don’t over react okay? Just eat your lunch. We didn’t come here to argue or talk about my job…its about you and me, so let’s just have a nice lunch, okay?” Nick said as he started to dig into his plate of food.
Selena stared at Nick suspiciously for a few more seconds. She decided to keep quiet and her suspicions to herself…for now.
