The Concert (Nick Carter)

Chapter 52

-2 months later-
I put my straightener down and run my fingers through my now straight hair

I hear a knock on the door

That must be Nick

"Daniel, your dad is here" I call out not expecting a reply

Daniel recently learned a few words and he sounds adorable

I open the door and in greeted with his blue eyes

He gives me a shy smile "Goodmorning"

I smile at him "Goodmorning"

He looks behind my shoulder "is Daniel ready?"

I look behind me and I don't see the small blonde boy running to the door

I shurgged my shoulders "I guess not. Let me go get him"

He nods and stands outside

"You can come in if you want" I say

He nods slowly and comes in closing the door

I open Daniel's door "Daniel, baby, daddy is her-"

And there he was asleep

"Great" I mumble and put the blankets on him and leave the room quietly

Daniel is a light sleeper, if i picked him up while he's sleeping he'll wake up and be in a bad mood for a long time

I walk to the living room

Nick looks up at me

I give him an awkward smile "I have bad news"

"Which is?" He scoots over so I can sit by him

"Daniel fell asleep"

He chuckles "oh man"

He begins to get up "I'll just come get him later then"

"You don't have to" I say quickly

He looks at me and I feel my cheeks warm up "I mean it'll be a waste of gas, he'll probably just be asleep for an hour"

Nick nods and sits down

I lick my lips awkwardly "Nick, I've been thinking about something for awhile"

He looks at me "about what?"

"About this" I say looking up

A smile forms on his face "about us?"

I look back at him "what? No, about the house"

He blushes embarrased "oh" he shifts around "what about the house?"

I sigh "this is your childhood home. You should be the one living in here not me"

"Then where would you go?"

I shurgged my shoulders "I'll find a place"

He shakes his head "this is your home, we got this place together"

"That's when we were a couple" I tell him

"And plus, I'm eighteen now. I'm allowed to sign papers now" I giggle

He smiles at me "I miss you, you know"

A smile forms on my face "I miss you too"

"Nicky" I tease him

He chuckles at the nickname I told him when we were dating "So we're back to fifteen"

I give him an innocent look "Blame Brian for calling you Nicky over the phone"

He nods Still with a smile on his face "that was the day we met"

I nudge him "the day you asked me out on a date"

"Remember when we were going steady?" He asks me

"Those teenage days where I had to sneak you into my room so my dad wouldn't find out"

He laughs and throws his head back "oh, your dad hated me"

I laugh too "he's warmed up to you"

He smiles and his face turns serious "I've been trying to stop"

I look at him confused "stop what?"

"Stop my drinking, the drugs"

I sigh and look somewhere else "Nick"

He grabs my hands "I want us back"

I look at him "and what makes you think I want to be with you? There's a reason I divorced you"

He bites his lip "I'm stopping, what more do you want? You took my son, you left me, you fucking left me" .

How did we turn to laughing to arguing?

I shake my head "your the reason for all that. We could've been happily married right now if it was for your stupid mistakes"

"I was seveteen, I was stupid" he tells me

"It wasn't even a year ago!" I look at him like he's a dumbass

"I love you, and I know you love me too"

I shake my head at him "your crazy"

"Crazily in love with you"

I try not to smile but I fail "that was so cheesy"

He kneels down in front of me "I love you, and I'll never stop, your the one for me"
