Chapter 25
The next day was a cloudy Sunday. Demi and Nina had spent
the night lying with Selena in her bed so she wouldn’t be alone. Demi woke up to Nina playfully hitting her in
the face. Demi smiled realizing that
Nina crawled up to her and almost sat her little bootie on her face. Demi playfully grabbed her and started kissing
her, making Nina smile. “Did you just crawl up to my face and tried to sit on
me?” Demi teased Nina. Selena walked out
of the bathroom noticing both Nina and Demi were now awake. She smiled. Demi
looked up noticing her friend. “She’s crawling! Did you know she’s crawling
now?!”
“Are you sure?” Selena asked surprised.
“How else did she get up to my face?” Demi asked still in shock that she may have witnessed Nina crawling.
Demi laid Nina down flat on the bed. Both Selena and Demi cheered Nina on for her to crawl. After several attempts Nina crawled a few inches towards Selena. Selena and Demi both cheered! Selena picked Nina up, hugging and kissing her all over. She was so proud her baby girl officially crawling for the first time.
“That is awesome! I have to be here when she makes her first steps. Otherwise, make sure she doesn’t start walking until Im around!” Demi teased with a smile.
Selena laughed. “I can’t believe she crawled right before she turns 6 months old! She’s so smart!”
Demi noticed Selena’s smile slowly faded as she went into deep thoughts looking down at Nina sitting in her lap. Demi knew she was thinking about Nick. “How are you feeling?” Demi asked.
Selena took a deep breath. “Im okay.”
Demi changed the subject.“We should get out of the house and do something. Let’s go get some breakfast and go to the Wax Museum. I haven’t been there in forever.” Demi said wanting Selena to not think about Nick for a while.
Selena protested wanting to stay in bed the majority of the day but Demi would not allow it. After pretty much forcing Selena to get dressed, Demi succeeded as they all finally stepped out of the house. Selena, Demi and of course Nina went out for breakfast and to the famous Wax Museum. Selena couldn’t deny it, she was having a blast. There were moments when Nick’s name came up and Selena got depressed, but thanks to Nina and Demi, they were there to change it around for her.
However as the evening approached, Demi got some news that she needed to return back home because of some issues with her financial aid at school. She received a phone call from her roommate that she received mail from the financial aid office threatening to drop her classes effective immediately. Demi had to get home as soon as possible before she was officially kicked out of school. Selena got depressed as she watched her best friend about to leave her side when she felt she needed her the most. Demi walked into Selena’s bedroom and sat down on her bed next to Selena once she was done packing.
Demi saw a tear stream down her face. “Aww, honey-bun, don’t cry!” Demi said as she wrapped her arms around Selena.
“I don’t want you to leave.” Selena said in a shaky voice.
“I promise I will back as soon as possible. I’m so close to graduating… I can’t have them kick me out of school and start all over with my bar exams to become a lawyer.”
“I know.” Selena said sadly.
“I hope to have this thing under control very quickly and I will hop back on a plane as soon as one flies out here. I promise.”
Selena nodded okay and hugged her again.

Nick spent his day shopping for new suits to wear for work. He made his brother Joe meet him at the mall as they spent the majority of the day hanging out and talking about what Nick’s next step should be as far as his job and with his family. It was clear that Nick needed to talk to George about Cindy. He made his mind up that he was going to go to work on Monday and have 'the talk' with George. As Nick and Joe were leaving the mall, Joe turned to Nick,”Oh, dude…thanks for reminding me to never get with a latina chick.”
Nick looked confused,” What do you mean?”
“Im just saying…Im surprised you don’t have any bruises from as many times Sel hit you!” Joe started to laugh and walked away toward his car.
Nick shook his head with a smile and walked away toward his car.
Nick couldn’t help but think about Selena and Nina. He decided to drive to the house with hopes of Selena approving him to stop by and see them. Nick pulled over to the side of the street where he could see his house. He parked his car a couple of houses down. He didn’t want Sel to see him just yet. He wanted to know if she would be okay with him there first. He picked up his cell phone and proceeded to dial.
“Hello?” Selena answered on the other end.
Nick was happy that Selena picked up the phone, but sensed some depression in her voice. He figured she was still upset with him from yesterday’s event. “Hey, baby. How are you?” Nick responded back into the phone.
“What do you want?” Selena asked calmly.
“I miss my girls.” Nick paused. “I really want to come by and see you both…if that’s okay with you. Please?” Nick could hear Selena sigh on the other end of the phone.
She finally responded, “Nick, not right now. We are not really up for company right now.”
Nick chuckled out of disbelief from her response. Now he was company? “Well, can you put Nina on the phone so I can talk to her?” “She’s sleeping.”
Nick sensed Selena may have been lying. “C’mon, Sel. Don’t do this to me with my daughter.”
“No, really…she’s asleep right now.”
“Alright…” Nick said solemnly. He continued, “well, you and Demi have a good night.”
“Demi had to go back home.”
“So you’re alone? Are you sure you don’t want me to come over?”
“Nina and I will be fine. Thanks.”
Nick cleared his throat. “Okay…well…I love you.”
“Bye.” Selena responded and hung up the phone.
Nick felt a dagger go thru his heart when she didn’t respond back saying ‘I love you too.’ He figured, however, that he shouldn’t have been surprised.
“Are you sure?” Selena asked surprised.
“How else did she get up to my face?” Demi asked still in shock that she may have witnessed Nina crawling.

After hanging up the phone with Selena, Nick drove off to go
back to the hotel where he was staying at. He
walked into the hotel lobby and headed towards the elevators, hitting the button
to the 5th floor. Holding his garment bag over his shoulder, filled
with 3 new suits, Nick walked up to his door and place his hotel key card into
the lock.
Once Nick opened the door, he flipped on the light and nearly had a heart attack when he saw he had an unwanted visitor in his bed.
“Cindy! What the hell are you doing in here?” Nick said half shock and half angry. He was shocked to see Cindy in his room, on his bed as she stood on her knees wearing a sexy black lace lingerie.

She smiled once Nick
walked in. “Hi honey…welcome home.” She said
as she tossed her hair over to the side putting on her sexiest pose.
Nick placed his garment bag down on a chair in the hotel room. “How did you get in here? How did you know I was here?”
“I followed you. I’ve been in here waiting for you all day. I told the maid I was your wife, and she let me in. Now…why are you way over there in all of those clothes?” She then took her finger gesturing for him to come to her. “Come here.”
Nick shook his head no as he walked up to her. “No, you have to go!”
“Go? No, honey, this is what we have been waiting for.”
Nick grabbed her arm pulling her off of the bed and pushing her away from him. “Get out!”
“Nicky, honey…what are you doing?”
Nick started looking for her clothes. “Get your clothes and get the fuck out!”
“Nick, stop, and listen to me. There’s no reason for you or I to hide this love we have for each other anymore. You’re marriage is over now…it’s okay.”
Nick stopped and looked at her. “What? Love? Because of you, my marriage is over!” Nick yelled at Cindy angrily.
“You don’t deserve her, Nick. It’s just you and me now.” Cindy sneered as she walked toward Nick trying to wrap her arms around him. “Just you…me…and your precious little baby girl.”
Nick was angry, and before he knew it, he put his hand around her neck and pushed her against the wall.
Cindy winced a little and felt her throat slightly close from Nick's tight grip. “Mmm, yes, baby.” Cindy managed to get out as she liked to be handled rough by Nick.
Nick frowned at her letting her go but not before shoving her against the wall again. “You’re crazy. You don’t get it. Cindy, I don’t want you. I don’t love you. There’s nothing between you and I.” Nick said angrily clenching his jaw muscles.
“You don’t mean that Nick. I know you don’t.” Cindy sneered as she held her neck.
“How did you get those pictures?”
Cindy giggled as she looked at Nick giving him a sexy look. “Well…I was hoping you and I could enjoy that sex tape together one nite. I put a video camera in your office. On the shelf against the wall.”
“You what?!” Nick glared at Cindy. “Baby, I thought you would like it.” Cindy said pouting a little.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Nick backed away from Cindy rubbing his fingers thru his curly hair. He couldn’t believe Cindy did that. Cindy started to get annoyed. “What’s your problem? I thought this is what you wanted. Selena is out of your life, now. We can be together, now.”
Nick was fuming mad. He started to gather his belongings.
“Nick?” Cindy said starting to get angry when he wouldn’t answer her. “Nick! Don’t ignore me, Nicholas!... Nick…I love you. What are you doing?”
“Im leaving.” Nick said as he quickly moved about collecting his things.
Cindy grabbed his arm to stop him. Nick snatched his arm away and pushed her hard making her fall back on the bed. “Get the fuck away from me, you crazy bitch! Get it thru your head…I DON’T WANT YOU. I DON’T LOVE YOU. I LOVE MY WIFE. I NEVER WANT TO BE WITH YOU.” Nick backed away from her and continued to gather his belongings.
Cindy was upset. “Nick don’t do this. Listen to what you’re saying.”
“I know what Im saying. I said a vow to my wife, Selena. I will forever love her and be with her til death do us part. There is nothing between you and I and there never will.”
Cindy was breathing heavily with frustration and anger with Nick. “Nicholas don’t leave. I love you.” She said calmly. As Nick finally gathered his things, he walked toward the door grabbing his garment bag. “NICHOLAS!!” Cindy shouted angrily for him not to leave.
Nick opened the door. Before leaving out, he turned to look at her and said, “You better believe that George will be hearing about this.” He then slammed the door, closing it behind him.
Nick placed his garment bag down on a chair in the hotel room. “How did you get in here? How did you know I was here?”

Chapter 26
Selena stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around her
wet body. She rushed into her bedroom to check on Nina who was still sound
asleep on her bed. Selena checked her cell phone and home phone to see if Nick
called back. She was disappointed to see that he didn’t call back. The house
was starting to feel eerie with just her and Nina there. Selena was about to
put on her oversized night gown when the doorbell rung. Selena slightly jumped
at the sound. She figured it must have been Nick. She knew he was going to come
over anyway. Still wearing her towel, Selena flipped her damp wavy hair and
rushed downstairs to open the front door. She opened the door wide to find
Taylor standing on the other side of the door. Selena’s mouth formed an O shape.
Taylor smiled at the sight of Selena in nothing but a towel. Selena partially hid behind the door as she spoke. “Taylor….hi. What are you doing here?”
“Im sorry…apparently I should have called before coming over.” He said stuffing his hands into his dark blue jeans. “I .. uh.. just wanted to make sure you were okay before I went home. I had been thinking about you all day….considering what had happened yesterday.” Taylor said trying not to longingly stare at her.
“Oh…how sweet.” Selena paused as she looked down at herself. “Sorry, I thought you were someone else. Do you want to come in?” Taylor smiled, “Sure.”
Selena opened the door wider for him to come inside. Once Taylor stepped inside, Selena closed the door and held on tight to her towel. “Uhm…have a seat. Please excuse me while I go get dressed.” Taylor nodded. As Selena rushed back upstairs, Taylor watched her the whole time.
Selena quickly closed her bedroom door. She was still shocked that Taylor was at the other side of the door instead of Nick. She quickly grabbed her phone and started to dial Demi’s cell phone number. “Pick up, pick up…” Selena whispered as she continued to hear the phone ring without an answer. Finally Demi’s voice mail picked up instead. Selena hung up and rushed to find something to wear. She was suddenly nervous that Taylor was in the house and she needed to know how she should react, but Demi was nowhere to be found. Selena threw her towel off and put on blue tank top, her underwear and black shorts.
Taylor smiled at the sight of Selena in nothing but a towel. Selena partially hid behind the door as she spoke. “Taylor….hi. What are you doing here?”
“Im sorry…apparently I should have called before coming over.” He said stuffing his hands into his dark blue jeans. “I .. uh.. just wanted to make sure you were okay before I went home. I had been thinking about you all day….considering what had happened yesterday.” Taylor said trying not to longingly stare at her.

Selena quickly closed her bedroom door. She was still shocked that Taylor was at the other side of the door instead of Nick. She quickly grabbed her phone and started to dial Demi’s cell phone number. “Pick up, pick up…” Selena whispered as she continued to hear the phone ring without an answer. Finally Demi’s voice mail picked up instead. Selena hung up and rushed to find something to wear. She was suddenly nervous that Taylor was in the house and she needed to know how she should react, but Demi was nowhere to be found. Selena threw her towel off and put on blue tank top, her underwear and black shorts.
She sprayed on some cotton candy flavored body mist. She
finished towel drying her hair and put on a little bit of lip gloss. She looked
at herself in the mirror. “What am I doing?” Selena said quietly to herself.
She made a popping noise with her lips to smooth over her lip gloss. She picked
up Nina and carried her to her room, placing her into her crib. Selena then
went downstairs where Taylor was sitting in the living room on the sofa.
“Why are you sitting down here with the television off? You know you could have turned it on, right?” Selena said with a smile as she sat on the other end of the sofa.
Taylor smiled as he looked at Selena. He thought she looked sexy and smelled really good. “Nah, I just thought I would wait for you. I didn’t want to take over.” He chuckled. Selena turned the television on with the remote. Taylor sat back on the sofa as he straightened his black t-shirt. “So, how has everything been going?”
“O-kay…I guess it could be better.” Selena replied as she tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear.
“I guess by me being here, your husband is not here…?” Taylor asked.
“Yeah…I kicked him out.”
“I hope Im not getting in your business by asking you this…but I never really got the story on what happened between you and him. Did he cheat?”
Selena took a deep breath before responding. “With his secretary. I told him I wanted a divorce.”
Taylor said his apologies for hearing the bad news. “The old secretary mistress deal, huh? That sucks.”
Selena nodded slightly.
“You should totally get revenge.”
Selena giggled. “With who? You?” she laughed out loud.
Taylor smiled.
Selena awkwardly stopped laughing when she noticed how Taylor didn’t really laugh in on her supposed joke.
An awkward silence fell between them as they both pretended to be interested in the program that was showing on television. Selena could feel Taylor looking at her. She quickly glanced over at him to see if she were right, and sure enough…he was. He was staring at her legs. “So, uhm…can I get you something to drink?” Selena asked as she stood up from the sofa.
“Sure…what do you have?”
“Let me check.” Selena said and walked to the kitchen.
Selena grabbed a bottle of wine and walked toward the refrigerator to see what else she could offer him. Selena bent over to look deep into her refrigerator as she spoke loudly for Taylor to hear her. “I have a bottle of wine, orange juice, fruit punch, coke…” Selena suddenly felt Taylor close behind her as he attempted to grab the bottle of wine she was holding close to her body. She jumped as she stood straight and turned to look at him. “Oh! You scared the crap out of me.” She laughed nervously.
Taylor smiled as he stood close to her. “Im sorry. I’ll take some wine.”
“Cool…I’ll grab the wine glasses.” Selena said as she slid away from Taylor.
“You smell really good. What are you wearing?” Taylor asked as he leaned against the island counter in the kitchen, staring at Selena up and down.
Selena smiled. “Thanks…its Cotton Candy body mist.”
“Your welcome. I really like it. You know, your husband is crazy for cheating on you. Why go for a hamburger, when he has the steak and potatoes right here at home.”
Selena smiled, “Thanks, Taylor.”
She poured his glass of wine and handed it to him. Taylor thanked her. They clanked their glasses together before taking a sip. Taylor moved closer to Selena has he placed his wine glass on the kitchen counter next to where Selena was standing. Taylor looked deep into Selena’s eyes. Selena felt herself starting to breathe heavy as Taylor stood very close to her. Taylor started to lean into her as if he was about to kiss her. Selena was frozen for a second as she felt she wanted to kiss him, but Nick's face popped up in her head. Selena leaned back and pressed her hand against Taylor’s muscular chest slightly pushing him back and spoke softly. “Taylor…I can’t.”
Taylor backed away. “Im sorry. Im totally trippin'.” He chuckled as he grabbed for his glass of wine. He took another sip.
Selena smiled not sure how to really react. “It’s okay. Really.” Selena took another sip of her wine.
Taylor gulped down the rest of his glass of wine and placed it down on the island counter beside him. “I should go. It’s getting late. Thank you for the wine.”
Selena placed her wine glass down and followed Taylor into the living room. “Yea, sure, no problem.”
Taylor reached for his keys on the coffee table and started to walk to the front door.
Selena looked around the house as it seem so empty and scary now that it was pitch dark outside. Deep down inside, she really didn’t want to be by herself. Before Selena knew it, she blurted out, “Taylor, can you stay?”
Taylor looked back at her with a surprised look on his face.
“I mean…it’s kind of weird being here alone. My friend, Demi, had to go back home and this is like my first night alone in this house. You know…just me and Nina….just feels weird.”
“Uhmm…yeah…sure.” Taylor said as he hesitated. He wasn’t sure how to take on the situation, however, he was happy she asked him to stay.
“Really? You’ll stay?”
“Yeah. It’ll be like a slumber party.” Taylor laughed trying to make light of the situation.
Selena laughed.
------------
Nick rung the doorbell and stood at the door with his luggage in hand waiting for someone to answer it. The porch lights turned on and then Nick heard the door unlock. “Nick…honey, what happened?” Christina said as she welcomed him inside. “I thought you said you were staying at the Radisson hotel?”
Once inside, Nick took a deep breath. “Aunt Chris…it’s a long story that I don’t really feel like talking about right now. Is Uncle Charles here?” Nick asked, speaking of Christina’s husband.
“No, honey, he went on that fishing trip with his father for a couple of days, remember when I told you that earlier.” She responded as she tied her robe closed. “Besides, I told you before, we have plenty of room for you here.”
“Thanks Aunt Chris. Im sorry to just barge in on you guys like this. My life is pretty shitty right about now.”
“Aww honey.” Christina rubbed his back out of comfort. “Can I get you something? Have you ate yet? You need to eat. Don’t worry I will heat up some left overs.” Christina said before allowing Nick to respond. She walked to the kitchen and started pulling out some left overs from dinner earlier.
“Thanks, Aunt Chris.” Nick said and walked upstairs to the guest bedroom also known as their computer room.
As Nick was settling in the room, he heard a knock at the bedroom door. Nick approved for the person to enter.
“Hey! I heard you were spending the night. Cool. Are you okay?” asked his cousin, Dakota.
“Yeah, something like that.”
“You’ll still get to see Nina, though right? I mean, like, will she be over here for a while too?”
“Yeah, Im sure there will be days when I have Nina with me.” Nick said feeling a little sad.
“Cool. Well, I hope you do eat something, ‘cause my mom is acting like a mad woman down stairs. I think she’s re-cooking a full meal.” Dakota laughed as she left out of his room.
Nick smiled slightly.
He doesn’t know what he would do without his aunt. Nick thought about Cindy and her antics. He thought about Selena and Nina wondering what they were doing. He needed Selena right now. He just wanted to hold her in his arms. Smell her fresh shampooed hair. He just wanted to talk to her like they used to do a long time ago. He just needed to find his way back to her heart.

Selena bent over to look deep into her refrigerator as she spoke loudly for Taylor to hear her. “I have a bottle of wine, orange juice, fruit punch, coke…” Selena suddenly felt Taylor close behind her as he attempted to grab the bottle of wine she was holding close to her body. She jumped as she stood straight and turned to look at him. “Oh! You scared the crap out of me.” She laughed nervously.
Taylor smiled as he stood close to her. “Im sorry. I’ll take some wine.”
“Cool…I’ll grab the wine glasses.” Selena said as she slid away from Taylor.
“You smell really good. What are you wearing?” Taylor asked as he leaned against the island counter in the kitchen, staring at Selena up and down.
Selena smiled. “Thanks…its Cotton Candy body mist.”
“Your welcome. I really like it. You know, your husband is crazy for cheating on you. Why go for a hamburger, when he has the steak and potatoes right here at home.”
Selena smiled, “Thanks, Taylor.”
She poured his glass of wine and handed it to him. Taylor thanked her. They clanked their glasses together before taking a sip. Taylor moved closer to Selena has he placed his wine glass on the kitchen counter next to where Selena was standing. Taylor looked deep into Selena’s eyes. Selena felt herself starting to breathe heavy as Taylor stood very close to her. Taylor started to lean into her as if he was about to kiss her. Selena was frozen for a second as she felt she wanted to kiss him, but Nick's face popped up in her head. Selena leaned back and pressed her hand against Taylor’s muscular chest slightly pushing him back and spoke softly. “Taylor…I can’t.”
Taylor backed away. “Im sorry. Im totally trippin'.” He chuckled as he grabbed for his glass of wine. He took another sip.
Selena smiled not sure how to really react. “It’s okay. Really.” Selena took another sip of her wine.
Taylor gulped down the rest of his glass of wine and placed it down on the island counter beside him. “I should go. It’s getting late. Thank you for the wine.”
Selena placed her wine glass down and followed Taylor into the living room. “Yea, sure, no problem.”
Taylor reached for his keys on the coffee table and started to walk to the front door.
Selena looked around the house as it seem so empty and scary now that it was pitch dark outside. Deep down inside, she really didn’t want to be by herself. Before Selena knew it, she blurted out, “Taylor, can you stay?”
Taylor looked back at her with a surprised look on his face.
“I mean…it’s kind of weird being here alone. My friend, Demi, had to go back home and this is like my first night alone in this house. You know…just me and Nina….just feels weird.”
“Uhmm…yeah…sure.” Taylor said as he hesitated. He wasn’t sure how to take on the situation, however, he was happy she asked him to stay.
“Really? You’ll stay?”
“Yeah. It’ll be like a slumber party.” Taylor laughed trying to make light of the situation.
Selena laughed.

Nick rung the doorbell and stood at the door with his luggage in hand waiting for someone to answer it. The porch lights turned on and then Nick heard the door unlock. “Nick…honey, what happened?” Christina said as she welcomed him inside. “I thought you said you were staying at the Radisson hotel?”
Once inside, Nick took a deep breath. “Aunt Chris…it’s a long story that I don’t really feel like talking about right now. Is Uncle Charles here?” Nick asked, speaking of Christina’s husband.
“No, honey, he went on that fishing trip with his father for a couple of days, remember when I told you that earlier.” She responded as she tied her robe closed. “Besides, I told you before, we have plenty of room for you here.”
“Thanks Aunt Chris. Im sorry to just barge in on you guys like this. My life is pretty shitty right about now.”
“Aww honey.” Christina rubbed his back out of comfort. “Can I get you something? Have you ate yet? You need to eat. Don’t worry I will heat up some left overs.” Christina said before allowing Nick to respond. She walked to the kitchen and started pulling out some left overs from dinner earlier.
“Thanks, Aunt Chris.” Nick said and walked upstairs to the guest bedroom also known as their computer room.
As Nick was settling in the room, he heard a knock at the bedroom door. Nick approved for the person to enter.
“Hey! I heard you were spending the night. Cool. Are you okay?” asked his cousin, Dakota.
“Yeah, something like that.”
“You’ll still get to see Nina, though right? I mean, like, will she be over here for a while too?”
“Yeah, Im sure there will be days when I have Nina with me.” Nick said feeling a little sad.
“Cool. Well, I hope you do eat something, ‘cause my mom is acting like a mad woman down stairs. I think she’s re-cooking a full meal.” Dakota laughed as she left out of his room.
Nick smiled slightly.
He doesn’t know what he would do without his aunt. Nick thought about Cindy and her antics. He thought about Selena and Nina wondering what they were doing. He needed Selena right now. He just wanted to hold her in his arms. Smell her fresh shampooed hair. He just wanted to talk to her like they used to do a long time ago. He just needed to find his way back to her heart.
