Chapter 1
Selena's Apartment
Selena heard a knock at her front door. She slowly got up from the sofa leaving her son, Jaylen, sound asleep. Selena thought it was her mother coming back because she may have left something. Instead, Selena’s face lit up when she saw it was her best friend Jaimee. As soon as she opened the door, Jaimee smiled and embraced her. “Hey, Jaimee! I told you, you didn’t have to come by. Jaylen is fine now.” Selena said as she welcomed Jaimee into her small two bedroom apartment.
“Are you kidding me? He is my godson, of course Im coming to see my little precious baby.” Jaimee said as she walked into Selena's apartment. She saw little Jaylen fast asleep on the sofa. She walked over to him, holding her hair back as she leaned down to give him a soft kiss on his chubby cheek. She then whispered as she rubbed his head, “I love you, Jay.” She gave him another kiss on the cheek and stood up straight.
“I was going to make lunch, do you want to come in the kitchen with me so we don’t wake him?” Selena said gesturing for Jaimee to follow her.
Jaimee agreed.
Sitting down at Selena’s small kitchen table, Jaimee asked, “So what did the doctor say?”
“It was just a really bad asthma attack allowing his lung to almost close. He amped up Jay’s medication. He’ll be fine. It’s just scary, because I feel like I need to watch him sleep all the time, ya know?”
Jaimee nodded.
“I just hate that he is so young with so many health problems. The doctor thinks his acid reflux disease contributed to his asthma attack last night.” Selena said somberly as she reached for a can of spaghettio’s out of the cabinet.
“What did your mom say? She hasn’t left town yet, has she?” Jaimee asked placing her elbow on top of the table and resting her chin in the palm of her hand.
“Well, she’s on her way out of town. She was here all morning and she just left before you came up. She was so overly dramatic. You know how she is.” Selena began opening the can of spaghettio’s with a can opener.
“Sel, have you gotten any sleep? You look tired.”
“No, Im fine. Just worried about my baby, Jaylen.” Selena poured the spaghettio’s into a pot and placed it over the warm eye of the stove. Selena knew Jaylen would be up soon, so she wanted to make sure his lunch would be ready when he woke up. Selena sat down at the table across from Jaimee.
“Jaimee, I had another dream about Nick last night.”
Jaimee sat back in her chair and cocked her head to the side with a shocked expression on her face. “Damn, Sel. Another dream? That’s like ten nights in a row. Clearly you have to do something.”
Selena placed her elbows on top of the table and buried her head in her hands. Her hair fell forward and crept between her fingers. “I know, Jaimee…but what am I supposed to do? It’s been like 3 years since I have seen or spoken to Nick. He probably hates me now.”
“No way! Nick was crazy in love with you. Trust me. And Im sure he still is.”
Selena rubbed her hair back as she raised her head up to look at Jaimee. “Joey was in my dream this time, Jaimee.”
Jaimee’s eyes slightly widened with surprise. “What happened?”
“We were having a barbeque to celebrate you and Zac’s engagement. Which seems normal, right? However, Nick knew about Jaylen…he knew Jaylen belonged to Joey…Nick and I were a happy couple about to be married the following month…and then out of nowhere, Joey appears. Standing there just looking at Nick and I…drenched in blood from his gunshot wound to the chest..” Selena paused thinking of the gruesome sight in her dream. She continued, “Jaylen saw him and screamed out for me. That’s when I woke up.” Selena said looking spaced out as if watching her dream replay in her head. She snapped out of her daze when she felt Jaimee touch her hand.
“It’s okay, Sel. You know what I think you should do. I think you should go visit Nick."
Selena frowned at Jaimee out of confusion.
Jaimee continued, "I mean, obviously he’s been on your mind. He’s been on your mind consistently for over the past 3 years, but over the last two weeks…it’s been crazy! It’s the only thing to do so you can stop dreaming about it.”
“But what if he doesn’t accept us? Jaylen and I are a package deal now. Joey is Jaylen’s father…what if Nick wants nothing to do with us.” Selena said slightly worried and started to bite her nails with anxiety.
“You love Nick, right?”
Selena nodded yes.
“In all of your dreams you’ve had, you and Nick have either been married, or so freakin’ in love, or just fucking each other’s brains out, right?” Selena shamefully nodded, yes.
“Then what are you waiting for? Go get your man.” Jaimee smiled at Selena.
Selena giggled.
“Hey, I got my man.” Jaimee said referring to her new fiancée Zac. “Now, its time you go get yours. So what… it took you 3 years to get up the courage to see Nick again. I say go for it. He’ll be happy to see you.”
Selena smiled while Jaimee was building up her confidence. “Jaimee I can’t afford to get to Connecticut where Nick is. Not right now anyway.”
Jaimee thought for a moment. “Make sure your calendar is free next weekend. I will have Zac give us the money.”
“No, I can’t have you do that. Zac would never do that.”
“Helloooo…we’re talking about my fiancée who adores me so much! Of course he will do anything for me…and you, because you’re like my sister. In fact, Jaylen and I will go with you. We will stay in a hotel, while you stay with Nick. And you can introduce Jaylen to Nick whenever you get ready.” Jaimee said proudly as if she had thought of the best idea ever. “Deal?”
Selena took a deep breath.
Before she could respond, she heard Jaylen whine in the other room as he started to wake up. Selena hopped up from the table with Jaimee following close behind her.
“Mommy.” Jaylen said with his pouting lips.
“Aww, hey baby. Im right here.” Selena said picking him up into her arms as she sat on the sofa. Jaimee sat down beside her as she rubbed Jaylen’s back. “Hey, look who’s here...it’s aunt Jaimee.”
Jaylen rubbed his eyes and looked at Jaimee.
“Hey, Jay! How’s my big boy doing?”
Jaylen gave Jaimee a little smile. Jaimee held out her arms for Jaylen to come to her. Jaylen welcomed her invite and moved into her arms. Jaimee hugged him as she held him tightly in her arms.
Selena pushed a few strands of her hair behind her right ear. She looked at Jaimee and smiled.Taking a deep breath and drawing her shoulder up to her neck, Selena said, “So, when are we going to Connecticut?”
Jaimee smiled with huge excitement. “Oh yeah! Give me some!” Jaime held up her hand gesturing for Selena to give her a high five.
Selena happily clapped Jaimee’s hand as they both laughed with excitement.
“Are you kidding me? He is my godson, of course Im coming to see my little precious baby.” Jaimee said as she walked into Selena's apartment. She saw little Jaylen fast asleep on the sofa. She walked over to him, holding her hair back as she leaned down to give him a soft kiss on his chubby cheek.

Part 2
It was early morning, just before sunrise when Zac helped to place their suitcases into the car. Selena strapped Jaylen into his car seat. He was wide awake and ready to talk. “Mommy, did you bring my …my … my blue shirt ?” Jaylen asked with excitement in his cute little voice.
“Yes I did.” Selena answered and kissed his cheek. “Did you bring Mr. Bubbles your favorite dinosaur?” Selena asked him with a smile.
Jaylen held up his plush stuffed dinosaur. “Right here!” he giggled.
Selena gasped with exaggerated surprise. “You’re so smart! I knew you would!” she kissed him again and closed his side of the car door.
Selena saw Jaimee and Zac kissing slow and passionate as they were saying their goodbye’s to each other standing by the trunk of the car. Selena couldn’t wait to have that moment when she saw Nick again. She waited patiently for them to stop, but it seem like they had no intentions on stopping anytime soon. Selena finally cleared her throat to get their attention.
Jaimee and Zac finally pulled away from each other. Zac removed a strand of hair away from Jaimee’s face. “You two be careful on that road, okay?”
“We’ll be fine. I’ll be back before you know it.” Jaimee said giving Zac another peck on the lips.
Selena cleared her throat again. “Sorry to interrupt, but we should probably be getting on the road now.”
“Okay, okay. I just wish I could go with you guys.” Zac said with a slight frown on his face.
“Yeah, but you have to work my dear. We need all the cash we can get to have a fabulous wedding.” Jaimee said wrapping her arms around Zac’s neck.
Zac smiled. “Just as long as u come back to me in one piece in 2 days.” Zac and Jaimee kissed once again.
“Oh my gosh…you two get a room already!” Selena teased as she hopped in the driver’s seat.
Zac and Jaimee laughed.
Zac then said his goodbyes to Jaylen in the back seat. “You take care of your mommy and aunt Jaimee for me okay, buddy?”
“Mm’kay!” Jaylen said and gave Zac a high five.
Jaimee hopped in the passenger seat. Zac gave her a quick kiss on the lips before Selena pulled off. “Call me when you get there!” Zac yelled to them.
“Jaimee, im so happy to see you happy. Zac is a good guy.”
“He’s awesome.”
“You two should have had s-e-x last night the way you two were carrying on.” Selena said not wanting Jaylen to know what they were talking about.
Jaimee smiled. “We did! All night long.”
They both laughed.
“I can totally see you and Nick the same way, Sel.”
Selena took a deep breath feeling nervous. “Let’s hope so.”

Hotel They Stayed In
“Jaimee this hotel is nice!” Selena said as they settled in their hotel room in Connecticut.
“Zac wanted to make sure we had the best. I told him not to worry about it, but you know how he is.”
“Can we go swimming? Can we? Can we? Mommy, can we?” Jaylen said jumping up and down on the bed. “Jaylen baby, stop jumping on the bed. And you can go swimming later.” Selena answered as she unzipped her suitcase.
“Hey, Jay, how about if I take you swimming after we get something to eat?” Jaimee asked Jaylen.
“Yayyy!” He continued jumping on the bed.
“Jaimee, I have no clue what to wear. Help me.” Selena then turned her attention to Jaylen, “Jaylen I said stop jumping on the bed, now get down!”
Jaylen stopped jumping as he held his stuff dinosaur up to his small chest and began pouting his lips.
“Why not give me and Jaylen a fashion show.” Jaimee said as she grabbed Jaylen placing him on her lap. Selena agreed.
A few hours later, Jaimee and Jaylen helped Selena find the perfect outfit and they all ate brunch together. Selena wore a khaki colored mini skirt and a low cut white sleeveless top to show her cleavage. Selena’s tan made her skin glow. Her makeup was applied flawlessly and her hair flowed swiftly around her shoulders. “Mommy you look prettyyy.” Jaylen said when Selena put on her sandals.
“Aww, thank you sweetie.”
“You do look pretty, Sel. Nick is gonna shit his pants.”
Jaylen laughed out loud. “Ooooo, Auntie you said a bad word!”
“Oops! Sorry.” Jaimee laughed giving Jaylen a hug.
“Are you sure I don’t look fat? I mean…im not as skinny as I used to be pre-baby, you know.”
“No way! You look awesome!” Jaimee replied.
“Do you think he is with someone else by now?” Selena asked fluffing her hair.
“Nah. I think his dad would have told you.”
“Well it’s not like we talked about that. I just asked if he could give me Nick’s address and he thought Nick would be happy to see me.”
“Sel, he wouldn’t have told you to come or have given you Nick’s address if Nick was with someone, right?”
“Well, I told him that I wanted to surprise him like an old friend.”
“Sel, you are an old friend.”
“Yeah a friend who is looking for more.”
“Will you stop being so negative! Take your purse, and get outta here. Jaylen and I will see you later! Maybe even tomorrow.” Jaimee added with a wink.
“Oh my god, im so freaking nervous.” Selena held out her hands in front of her. “Look, my hands are shaking.”
“Mommy, you scared?” Jaylen asked curiously.
“Mommy is very, very nervous.” Selena said pulling him close to her. She then started to say her goodbye’s to him. “I will call you later, and you better be good for Aunt Jaimee, okay?”
“Mm’kay.” Jaylen gave Selena a big hug. “Hurry back tho, kay?”
Selena laughed, “Okay.”
“Are you ready?” Jaimee asked Selena with a smile trying to get her more excited.
Selena took another deep breath. “I just hope I don’t pass out before getting there.” Selena laughed nervously.
“Just remember…go get your man. He’s already yours. No matter what. Be confident. Do you hear me?” Jaimee said firmly.
“Right.” Selena said with high expectations.
She then finally made her way out and drove over to Nick’s place.
“Zac wanted to make sure we had the best. I told him not to worry about it, but you know how he is.”
“Can we go swimming? Can we? Can we? Mommy, can we?” Jaylen said jumping up and down on the bed. “Jaylen baby, stop jumping on the bed. And you can go swimming later.” Selena answered as she unzipped her suitcase.

Chapter 2
--Selena's Point Of View --
I pulled into Nick’s town homes subdivision. The neighborhood looked really nice. It reminded me of my mom’s suburbia neighborhood back in New York. However, this neighborhood looked like a lot of rich people stayed here. There were a lot of Mercedes, BMWs and Range Rover's in the town home driveways.
“Wow.” I said out loud.
Nick must really have a good job. How can he afford this while still in school? I looked for the address that Mr.Spacey, Nick’s dad, told me where Nick lived. I looked for the number 1014 on the mailboxes as I drove my Honda Civic down the street. Once I spotted the correct address, I decided to park on the curb by the mailbox and turned the ignition off.
I took several deep breaths to try and calm down. I looked down at my hands...they were still trembling. Three long years. It had been three years since I've seen Nick. I wonder how he looks now? Does he still feel the same way about me? Will he feel the same way about me after I tell him about Jaylen? Ahhh, so many questions are running thru my head. Jaimee’s words ran thru my head as well. “Go get your man,” I could hear her say. I looked in the mirror to ensure I looked presentable. I ran my fingers thru my hair trying to give my layered loose curls a little more volume as it flowed around my shoulders. I added a little more lip gloss over my pink lips to add a more shine. I looked down at my top and placed my hands under my bra cup pushing up my breasts to make sure they remained perky and slightly visible. I wanted to make sure I gave Nick a great visual. I approved my look in the mirror one last time with a smile. I took another deep breath and exited the car.

Nick adjusted his head on his pillow as he rested on his back in bed. With his eyes closed he felt his bed move as if someone was getting into bed with him. He felt that someone straddle over him. He then felt a soft kiss on his neck.
Nick abruptly jerked his arms around that person’s waist, scaring them shouting "Boo!" She screamed. “Oh my God! Nick! You scared me, I thought you were sleep!” She laughed.
Nick laughed as well.
She then sat up looking down at him.
Nick noticed she was fully dressed. “Hey, why do you have your clothes on? How do you know I didn’t want more of you?” Nick smiled up at her. “Baby, I told you, I had to go, remember!”
Nick placed his hands around her butt and rolled on top of her.
She giggled as he made his move on top of her. He grabbed her wrists and placed her arms above her head. “Mmm, Nicholas…you keep this up, you might have to undress me again.”
Nick chuckled. “That’s the plan.” He said softly.
He then leaned down and kissed her lips sliding his tongue into her mouth.
She moaned into his mouth as they kissed. Unable to move her arms, she tried to talk whenever Nick gave her lips room to speak.
“Baby…(kiss)…I hav- (kiss)…have to…(kiss)…go…(kiss) Nick…”
Nick pulled away looking down at her. “Why do you do this to me?”
“Because I know you love me.” She answered.
Nick smiled.
“Happy one year anniversary, Nicholas Spacey.”
“Happy one year anniversary, Michelle Anderson.”
“Thank you for breakfast…and dessert…and the extra helping of dessert.” Michelle added.
“No, thank you for the extra helping of dessert. Im still mad at you for putting your clothes back on” Nick teased her.
Michelle giggled. “Honey, I told you…I have to go meet my parents. But I promise, after we have dinner with my parents tonight…you can have me all to yourself for however long you want me.” She then said seductively, “…and anyway you want me.”
“Mmm… Anyway I want you, huh?”
“Mmmhmm.” Michelle nodded as she anticipated Nick’s lips on hers.
Nick pressed into her lips once again as they hungrily kissed each other.
Suddenly, the doorbell rung interrupting their kiss. Nick groaned hating the interruption.
Michelle giggled. “It’s okay. I need to go anyway, remember? It’s probably your friend Kevin.”
Nick finally rolled off of her.
“I’ll go get the door, while you put some clothes on, sexy.” Michelle said as she hopped off the bed.
“Thank you, baby.”
Michelle smiled and bopped her way down the stairs.
Nick lived in a two bedroom town home. He used to live in a dorm room on his college campus where he roomed with his buddy Kevin. However, Nick wasn’t getting the privacy he wanted, so he decided to move out. His girlfriend, Michelle, had her parents helped Nick get into this nice town home so he could stay close to the college since this was his last year before graduating. Michelle was happy, since they attended the same college. She could still see him while they continued their education. Michelle’s parents never met Nick before, yet they did anything Michelle asked them to do. Michelle always got her way. Tonight was the night Nick would meet her parents for the first time. They both were nervous hoping everything would go well.
Expecting to see Kevin on the other side of the door, Michelle answered with a smile. Her lips formed an ‘O’ shape when she saw an attractive female standing on the other side of the door.

Nick noticed she was fully dressed. “Hey, why do you have your clothes on? How do you know I didn’t want more of you?” Nick smiled up at her. “Baby, I told you, I had to go, remember!”
Nick placed his hands around her butt and rolled on top of her.
She giggled as he made his move on top of her. He grabbed her wrists and placed her arms above her head. “Mmm, Nicholas…you keep this up, you might have to undress me again.”
Nick chuckled. “That’s the plan.” He said softly.
He then leaned down and kissed her lips sliding his tongue into her mouth.
She moaned into his mouth as they kissed. Unable to move her arms, she tried to talk whenever Nick gave her lips room to speak.
“Baby…(kiss)…I hav- (kiss)…have to…(kiss)…go…(kiss) Nick…”
Nick pulled away looking down at her. “Why do you do this to me?”
“Because I know you love me.” She answered.
Nick smiled.
“Happy one year anniversary, Nicholas Spacey.”
“Happy one year anniversary, Michelle Anderson.”
“Thank you for breakfast…and dessert…and the extra helping of dessert.” Michelle added.
“No, thank you for the extra helping of dessert. Im still mad at you for putting your clothes back on” Nick teased her.
Michelle giggled. “Honey, I told you…I have to go meet my parents. But I promise, after we have dinner with my parents tonight…you can have me all to yourself for however long you want me.” She then said seductively, “…and anyway you want me.”
“Mmm… Anyway I want you, huh?”
“Mmmhmm.” Michelle nodded as she anticipated Nick’s lips on hers.
Nick pressed into her lips once again as they hungrily kissed each other.
Suddenly, the doorbell rung interrupting their kiss. Nick groaned hating the interruption.
Michelle giggled. “It’s okay. I need to go anyway, remember? It’s probably your friend Kevin.”
Nick finally rolled off of her.
“I’ll go get the door, while you put some clothes on, sexy.” Michelle said as she hopped off the bed.
“Thank you, baby.”
Michelle smiled and bopped her way down the stairs.
Nick lived in a two bedroom town home. He used to live in a dorm room on his college campus where he roomed with his buddy Kevin. However, Nick wasn’t getting the privacy he wanted, so he decided to move out. His girlfriend, Michelle, had her parents helped Nick get into this nice town home so he could stay close to the college since this was his last year before graduating. Michelle was happy, since they attended the same college. She could still see him while they continued their education. Michelle’s parents never met Nick before, yet they did anything Michelle asked them to do. Michelle always got her way. Tonight was the night Nick would meet her parents for the first time. They both were nervous hoping everything would go well.
Expecting to see Kevin on the other side of the door, Michelle answered with a smile. Her lips formed an ‘O’ shape when she saw an attractive female standing on the other side of the door.
Part 2
Selena stared at the girl who answered the door. Selena thought she was very pretty, wearing short cut off blue jean short shorts and a white t-shirt that hung off her shoulders.
Selena quickly looked at the number address to make sure she was at the correct door.
“Hi!” Michelle answered the door in a bubbly tone.
Selena hesitated. “Oh, Im sorry. I think I have the wrong apartment.”
“Oh..” Michelle smiled. “Well, who are you looking for? Maybe I can help.”
“Wow, this is embarrassing.” Selena laughed. “I was looking for Nick Spac-.” Selena stopped abruptly when she spotted a man with a muscular physique come down the stairs. It was Nick.
Nick walked downstairs and saw Nicole standing with the door wide open. He was buckling his belt around his jeans while holding his t-shirt in his hand. When he looked up, that’s when he made eye contact with the person standing on the other side of the door. Selena Garcia.
Selena felt herself almost drool when she saw Nick without a shirt on. He seem to have gotten even more tone, fit, and handsome since the last time she saw him. His hair was cut short to the point where his hair was not as long and curly anymore.
“Selena?” Nick said almost in a daze walking up closer to her and Michelle at the door.
“Hi.” Selena said trying to snap out of her thoughts.
Michelle looked at both Nick and Selena. Her smile faded a little. “Sooo, you two know each other?”
There was an awkward silence. Selena and Nick only stared at each other.
Michelle continued, “Apparently, you have the right place.”
Selena laughed nervously snapping out of her gaze with Nick. “Yeah, I guess so.”
Michelle looked up at Nick who was obviously speechless. “Well…come in.” Michelle said gesturing for Selena to come in.
As Selena stepped inside, Michelle whispered to Nick, “Honey, put your shirt on.”
Nick jumped slightly as if jumping out of his thoughts. He threw his navy blue tshirt on over his head.
Selena felt awkward. She wanted to hug Nick, but with this female here, she thought it would be odd.
“Well, my name is Michelle Anderson, and you are…?” Michelle said extending her hand to greet Selena.
Before Selena could respond, Nick quickly jumped in saying, “Oh yeah, uhm…Michelle, this is Selena. Selena Garcia…my uh…friend,” Nick said slightly confused. He then continued in hesitation introducing Selena to Michelle saying, “Selena, this is...uhmm…”
Selena extended her hand to greet Michelle.
“His girlfriend,” Michelle finished his sentence. She then continued, “So you’re Selena! I’ve heard so much about you!” Michelle said with a smile as she shook Selena's hand.
“I hope it was all good things.” Selena said smiling and looking at Nick.
Michelle looked up at Nick who was silent. She took her hand back and continued, “Well, I’ve known Nick for quite some time now, but not as long as you two have known each other. Today is actually our one year anniversary of officially being together.” Michelle said in her bubbly tone.
Selena’s smile slightly faded at hearing the news but forced herself keep a pleasant expression.
“Right, honey?” Michelle added as she embraced Nick wrapping her arms around Nick’s waist.
Nick placed his arm around Michelle’s shoulder and said, “Yeah…that’s right.”
Selena kept her eyes on Nick while Nick found it hard at that moment to look Selena in the eyes.
There was an awkward silence that filled the room.
“Well, I guess I should have called before just popping up. Im so sorry to have interrupted your day.” Selena said as if she were getting ready to leave.
“You’re leaving?” Nick asked in shock. He sounded like he didn’t want her to leave.
His reaction caught Michelle by surprised. She gave Nick a suspicious look.
Nick noticed Michelle's expression and lowered his tone in a calmer manner. “I mean, were you in the area or … I mean…” Nick was at a loss for words.
“Uhm, yeah something like that. Im not going to be in town for long. In fact I may be leaving tonight or something.” Selena said after realizing her trip there was a complete waste.
Nicole’s eyes lit up when she heard Selena say she was leaving that night. She suddenly felt more confident and less threatened by her presence there. “Well, don’t let me get in the way of you guys reminiscing on the good old days. I was just leaving to go meet my parents who are coming in town. And, since you won’t be in town long, you guys should spend a little time together, right?” Michelle said looking up at Nick.
Selena looked at Nick waiting to hear his response.
He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly saying, “Yeah…I mean…talking about the old days would be good.”
Selena nodded in agreement as she stared at Nick.
“Okay. Well, allow me to get out of your hair.” Michelle said. She then looked up at Nick saying, “…and baby, I will see you tonite. Be at the restaurant at 7 pm sharp… dressed oh so handsome and sexy.” She then reached up to kiss his lips.
Nick leaned down to give her a short peck on the lips feeling awkward with Selena standing there.
Michelle paused and looked at him wondering if he was okay. “That’s all I get?”
Nick smiled lightly and gave her a longer kiss.
Selena looked away not liking the fact that Nick was kissing another girl.
Michelle wrapped her arms around Nick’s neck making the kiss more passionate.
Nick gently pulled away ending the kiss.
“I love you.” Michelle said before letting Nick go.
“Love you too.” Nick said in a low tone.
Michelle then turned to look at Selena saying, “Sabrina, right?”
Selena forced a smile on her face, “Uhm, no, it’s Selena.” She corrected her.
“Oops, sorry. Well, Selena, it was so nice to meet you finally. Have a safe trip back home.”
“Thanks.” Selena said with a forced smile.
Michelle blew a kiss back at Nick as she walked out the door.
Nick smiled back at Michelle as he watched her leave.
Then the door was shut.
There stood Selena and Nick.
Together.
Alone.
Selena quickly looked at the number address to make sure she was at the correct door.

Chapter 3
--Selena's Point Of View--
We stood there for a moment just staring at each other in silence. He was so handsome. The tension in the room was intense.
Nick cleared his throat. “So…uhm…can I get you something to drink or anything?”
He was still the sweet Nick I remembered.
“No. Im fine. Thanks.” I smiled flipping my hair in nervousness.
Nick made me so nervous the way he kept staring at me. I wish I could read his mind.
“You want to have a seat?” Nick asked gesturing for me to have a seat in his living room.
I slowly walked past him and sat down on his sofa.
--End Point Of View--
--Nick's Point Of View--
Damn, Selena. I couldn’t believe she was here. What the hell was she doing here? Now? She looks beautiful as usual. When she walked past me, I could smell her perfume…it was the same perfume scent I remembered from a few years ago. It was my favorite. I could even smell the shampoo she used in her hair. Damn, she smelled really nice. Wait…why can I smell everything she is wearing. Maybe Im too close to her…maybe I should give her some room. Did she just get a tan? She’s definitely glowing. And she definitely put on a little weight…but damn, in all the right places. Her ass looks great in her skirt. Wait…damn Nick…focus. Besides, I have Michelle now. I watched Selena sit on my sofa. I opted to sit in the chair diagonally across from her. I sat down leaning forward as I rested my elbows on my knees.
Selena flipped her hair over her shoulder and crossed her smooth tan legs exposing her upper thighs because of her short skirt. Damn. Was she doing this on purpose? What the hell is she doing here? My thoughts were interrupted when I heard her speak.
“So…how have you been?” Selena asked with a smile.
“Good. You?”
“Great.” She smiled.
--End Point Of View--
--Selena’s POV --
Dammit, why am I so nervous? I really need to shake these nerves, but I don’t know how.
“So…how did you find me?” Nick asked.
I smiled at the fact that I just caught him trying not to stare at my legs. Wearing this skirt was a good idea. “I talked to your dad. I wanted to surprise you.”
“My dad?”
“Yeah…why? Is that a problem?” I asked unsure what he was getting at.
“No. I guess not.”
There was an awkward silence that fell between the two of us as he just stared at me. His stares were really making me nervous because I had no clue what he was thinking? I flipped my hair over to the side with my fingers trying to calm my nerves.
“So…how’s Jaimee?” Nick asked.
“She’s doing really good! She’s engaged!”
Nick raised an eyebrow with a surprised expression. “Really?!”
I nodded yes.
“That’s awesome! Who’s the lucky guy?”
“His name is Zac. Zac Efron. He’s super sweet and such an awesome guy for her…she’s really happy. Im so happy for her.” I said proudly thinking about Jaimee and Zac together.
“That’s awesome. Please, tell her that Im happy for her too. I hope I get an invitation to the wedding."
“Oh, Im sure you will. You’ll have to be my date.” I laughed.
Oh crap. Why did I just blurt that out. He can’t be my date…he has a girlfriend! I heard Nick chuckle without looking at me. Ok…maybe he didn’t like that idea. Ok, why am I here again?
“So, how’s your mom?” he asked interrupting my thoughts.
“She’s good. She came back from going on a cruise with Matt. Remember Matt? That was her boyfriend back then? Well yeah, she married him and this cruise was like their late honeymoon.”
“Nice.” Nick said with a slight smile.
He looked like he had something else to say but it wasn’t coming out. The awkward silence appeared to be the star of our conversation as it fell upon us once again. I wish I could just talk to him. Why can’t I just talk to him? He’s my childhood friend. He’s also the guy I love. The guy I am so sexually attracted to right now. Why is this so hard?
“So…uhm..how did you spend your 21st birthday?” Nick asked.
I laughed to myself at his question. It was obvious he was trying to keep the conversation flowing. My birthday was months ago, so why wld he ask? I wanted to answer him truthfully but I wasn’t sure I was ready to bring up my son, Jaylen, yet. Truthfully, I spent my 21st birthday in the hospital because Jaylen had pneumonia.
“Oh, I didn’t do much. Just kinda kept it low key.” I answered nonchalantly.
Nick chuckled. “You? Kept it low key?”
“Yes. Why is that so hard to believe?” I smirked.
Nick smiled back showing his dimple that I adored. “No reason.” Nick paused as his smile slowly faded.
--END POV--
The last time Nick saw Selena, she was 18 years old and he was 19. They were now both adults yet he felt like a kid again.
“I guess a lot can change in 3 yrs, huh?” Nick said thinking out loud as he looked down at his fingers intertwine with each other.
“Yeah.” Selena said as she ran her fingers thru her long hair once again. “Now you’re in a relationship.” Selena paused waiting for Nick to respond.
He remained silent as he continued to look down at his hands.
“So…I assume she makes you happy...? And you guys have been together for a year already?”
“Yeah…” Nick said slowly as he looked up at Selena.
Selena saw him clench his jaw muscle. There was something on his mind. Selena wished she could read his mind.
“Yeah.” Selena stated slowly. She suddenly felt like she was not welcomed there, the way he looked at her. “Well, Im sorry that I just popped up. Not much of a good surprise to show up on your one-year anniversary, huh?” Selena giggled nervously.
“No…it was definitely a surprise.” Nick looked down at his hands again.
Selena felt like she was running out of the right things to say. She had no idea he was in a relationship. She thought maybe she should leave. “Well…Im happy for you, Nick.”
“Really?”Nick asked not believing her.
“Yeah. I mean…why wldn’t I be?”
Nick only stared at her.
More awkward silence.
“Well… I should probably go.” Selena rose to her feet, feeling uncomfortable with the constant silence.
Nick stood up as well. “Where are you going? Home? Back to New York?”
“Why?” Selena asked wondering why he suddenly felt interested in her.
Nick hesitated before responding. “I don’t know…I just feel like…there’s so much more to say to you, and I feel like if I just let you leave, Im going to hate myself later.”
Selena was caught by surprise yet happy he didn’t want her to leave.
“Uhm…do you mind sticking around while I go take a quick shower?”
“Yes!” Selena blurted out almost too eagerly. She then tried to redeem herself and calmly stated, “Yes…I will stick around. Not a problem.”
Nick smiled and laughed a little. “Okay.”
We stood there for a moment just staring at each other in silence. He was so handsome. The tension in the room was intense.
Nick cleared his throat. “So…uhm…can I get you something to drink or anything?”

Chapter 4
No more than about 25 min later, Nick came down the stairs looking even more handsome than he did before his shower. His hair was almost spiked with curles at the top due to the towel drying of his hair. He wore a red Hollister tshirt and a pair of loose fitting blue jeans. Selena could smell the fresh spring soap he used as he approached her. “Are you sure you don’t want anything to eat or something?”
“No, Im fine.”
“A bottle of water? Something?”
Selena smiled. “Okay, I’ll have a bottle of water.”
She stood up from the sofa and followed Nick into his kitchen. The scene reminded her so much of when he came to New York and he stayed in that extended stay hotel and he cooked her breakfast. Nick handed her a cold bottle of water. She thanked him. “You have a really nice place. It’s really cozy here.”
“Thanks. Yeah, I would definitely say its an upgrade from the dorm I was staying in.” Nick grabbed some grapes out of the refrigerator and started to pop a few in his mouth.
For some reason, they both appeared to be more at ease with each other. It was like they both got over the fact that they were reunited again. Selena leaned forward over the counter as she spoke to Nick. Nick enjoyed the view he was getting as he looked down her top, but he tried to focus on their conversation. Their conversation was flowing a lot better now. They laughed and talked about the old days. However, when Joey’s name came up, there was a brief moment of awkward silence.
“Do you think you would still be with Joey if he were still alive?” Nick asked in a serious tone.
Selena stood up straight. “No.” Selena paused and looked down at her bottle of water sitting on the kitchen counter. “I truly believe that you and I would be together.” Selena softly blurted out. She then looked up at Nick to view his expression. Selena could tell he was taken back by her response.
“Really?” Nick said not believing her.
Selena felt this was her chance to make a move. “Yes, really. Nick, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you. Not only as a friend…but…so much more than that.”
Nick shook his head in disbelief as he let out a small chuckle.
“Its not funny. Im so serious. It hurts to see you kissing another female. I don’t want –“
“Why are you here? I mean... really Sel, what are you doing here?” Nick interrupted Selena sounding annoyed.
Selena frowned at his abrubt reaction. “To see you, Nick! I miss you. I was hoping you weren’t in a relationship but, clearly you –“
“What the fuck did you expect me to do?” Nick interrupted Selena again.
Selena could tell that even though his tone was calm, he was clearly upset. “What do you mean?”
“You pulled a fucking magic trick on me! You disappeared for 3 fucking years, Sel! I saw you one time after Joey’s funeral. One time! After that, you never took my calls. When I tried to come visit you, it was like you made everyone give me some lame ass excuse as to why you didn’t want to see me. I mean…it was like you dumped me without even having the fucking courage to tell me!” Nick said angrily at Selena.
“Nick you don’t understand…” Selena tried to explain.
“Make me understand, Selena. Please.” Nick said sarcastically as he folded his arms in front of his chest leaning against the kitchen counter. He then added, “Because, you told me you loved me, but the actions you took didn’t show that you loved me.”
Selena walked over toward Nick and stood in front of him. “Nick, I did love you. I still do. I’ve been having these dreams about you like every night, and –“
“Oh so after 3 years now you’re dreaming about me? What the fuck is that?”
“Are you going to let me talk?” Selena yelled at him in frustration.
Nick stopped and stared at her.
“Nick, Im sorry, okay? There was something going on with me, that I was afraid to tell you about.” Selena paused and took a deep breath.
Nick calmly removed a strand of hair away from Selena’s eye. “Like what?” he said in a calm voice. “You know you could have told me anything. You still can.”
--Selena's POV--
Here it is, the moment of truth. Jaimee’s words ran thru my head: “Go get your man.”
Even though he has a girlfriend, I wondered if by confessing my love to him, would he leave Michelle to be with me? I thought about the moment Nick kissed his girlfriend, Michelle. The moment he told her that he loved her. It was their one –year anniversary.
Nick stood there waiting for me to respond. The way he was looking at me, gave me goosebumps. His lips looked so kissable, and all I really wanted to do was just kiss him and let all the other obstacles go away. I wanted to wrap my arms around his neck. I so badly wanted to have his hands all over me. I need him.
But would he want me after he found out that I had a child. A child by his late stepbrother, Joey? There was only one way to find out if he would accept Jaylen and I.
I started to nervously play with my hands as I quickly contemplated my next move. Thats when I suddenly realized, I didn’t want to give Nick an option not to accept Jaylen and I. I need to know what he would do.
I took a deep breath. “Nick…I…” I hesitated and paused. “I disappeared from you because…I was pregnant. I didn’t know what you would say or think of me.”
Nick didn’t immediately respond. He only stared at me. I noticed his eyes move down to my stomach as if I were pregnant at that very moment. His eyes then came back up to meet my eyes as he frowned with a confused expression.
“What do you mean?”
And then...I went for it. “Nick, we have a 3 yr old son, named Jaylen.”

“No, Im fine.”
“A bottle of water? Something?”
Selena smiled. “Okay, I’ll have a bottle of water.”
She stood up from the sofa and followed Nick into his kitchen. The scene reminded her so much of when he came to New York and he stayed in that extended stay hotel and he cooked her breakfast. Nick handed her a cold bottle of water. She thanked him. “You have a really nice place. It’s really cozy here.”
“Thanks. Yeah, I would definitely say its an upgrade from the dorm I was staying in.” Nick grabbed some grapes out of the refrigerator and started to pop a few in his mouth.
For some reason, they both appeared to be more at ease with each other. It was like they both got over the fact that they were reunited again. Selena leaned forward over the counter as she spoke to Nick. Nick enjoyed the view he was getting as he looked down her top, but he tried to focus on their conversation. Their conversation was flowing a lot better now. They laughed and talked about the old days. However, when Joey’s name came up, there was a brief moment of awkward silence.
“Do you think you would still be with Joey if he were still alive?” Nick asked in a serious tone.
Selena stood up straight. “No.” Selena paused and looked down at her bottle of water sitting on the kitchen counter. “I truly believe that you and I would be together.” Selena softly blurted out. She then looked up at Nick to view his expression. Selena could tell he was taken back by her response.
“Really?” Nick said not believing her.
Selena felt this was her chance to make a move. “Yes, really. Nick, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you. Not only as a friend…but…so much more than that.”
Nick shook his head in disbelief as he let out a small chuckle.
“Its not funny. Im so serious. It hurts to see you kissing another female. I don’t want –“
“Why are you here? I mean... really Sel, what are you doing here?” Nick interrupted Selena sounding annoyed.
Selena frowned at his abrubt reaction. “To see you, Nick! I miss you. I was hoping you weren’t in a relationship but, clearly you –“
“What the fuck did you expect me to do?” Nick interrupted Selena again.
Selena could tell that even though his tone was calm, he was clearly upset. “What do you mean?”
“You pulled a fucking magic trick on me! You disappeared for 3 fucking years, Sel! I saw you one time after Joey’s funeral. One time! After that, you never took my calls. When I tried to come visit you, it was like you made everyone give me some lame ass excuse as to why you didn’t want to see me. I mean…it was like you dumped me without even having the fucking courage to tell me!” Nick said angrily at Selena.
“Nick you don’t understand…” Selena tried to explain.
“Make me understand, Selena. Please.” Nick said sarcastically as he folded his arms in front of his chest leaning against the kitchen counter. He then added, “Because, you told me you loved me, but the actions you took didn’t show that you loved me.”
Selena walked over toward Nick and stood in front of him. “Nick, I did love you. I still do. I’ve been having these dreams about you like every night, and –“
“Oh so after 3 years now you’re dreaming about me? What the fuck is that?”
“Are you going to let me talk?” Selena yelled at him in frustration.
Nick stopped and stared at her.
“Nick, Im sorry, okay? There was something going on with me, that I was afraid to tell you about.” Selena paused and took a deep breath.
Nick calmly removed a strand of hair away from Selena’s eye. “Like what?” he said in a calm voice. “You know you could have told me anything. You still can.”
