Walking into my room Nick was tickling Angel on my bed. Rolling my eyes I placed the brush, hair ties, and hair spray on the bed and sat down. Angel rolled over and climbed behind me.
"Daddy," she said panting, "He's being a monster."
"Its okay," I said hugging her, "I know a secret way to get him to leave him alone."
"How do you do that?" Nick asked staring at me.
"Use your imagination," I said smiling.
"Alright I'm good," he said throwing his hands up.
"I'm going to do your hair and take a shower," I said placing Angel on my lap, "While I'm in the shower I want you to start packing the living room and kitchen."
"Yes Daddy," she said nodding.
"You do her hair a lot?" Nick asked sitting down in front of me.
"No," I said shaking my head, "But when I was in college my room mates' girlfriend was learning how to do hair and I helped her."
"So she taught you how to do hair?" he asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Ya," I said like it was obvious.
It took me about ten minutes to do Angel's hair. When I was done she ran into her room and finished getting dressed. Going into the bathroom I turned on the water and started to think.
Everything with Nick was moving so fast. I knew that Angel was happy, and so was I, I just didn't understand why everything was going so fast. I knew that Nick wouldn't hurt me; at least he wouldn't try to hurt me.
Sighing I finished taking my shower and wrapped a towel around my waist before going into my room. Dressing in a soft green shirt and dark wash jeans I walked into the living room and saw a few boxes filled already.
"Wow," I said looking around, "You guys have been working hard."
"Daddy," Angel yelled sliding on my skateboard, "Don't touch the floor!"
Jumping on the couch I gave Nick a weird look because he was jumping from chair to chair trying to get to the living room. Sighing I got off the couch and picked Angel off the skateboard.
"Nick get off the chairs," I said calmly, "I hate to be the bad guy, but one of you is going to get hurt if you keep doing that."
"Sorry Daddy," Angel said looking down.
"We can play after you move into my house," Nick said walking to us, "I have things in the backyard we can play on."
"See," I said leaning her on my hip, "You can play later."
"Alright," Angel said nodding, "Are we ready?"
"Ya," I said smiling, "Let's go."
Seeing Nick grab the keys to his car I made sure that I had the keys to my house and my wallet. I started to walk out of the house only to have Angel start to laugh. Looking down at her she pointed to my feet and I noticed I forgot to put shoes on.
"I think you need shoes," Nick said chuckling.
"Maybe," I said rolling my eyes.
"I thought that people were supposed to lose their mind when they were old," Angel said biting her lip, "But you're only like 26."
"How old were you when Angel was born?" Nick asked wide eyed.
"I was 19," I said honestly.
"You were really young," he said confused.
"I know," I said putting my shoes on, "But I don't regret it."
"Angel," Nick said realizing something, "Isn't your birthday today?"
"Actually," she said calmly, "I was born at midnight exactly so I can celebrate it today and tomorrow."
"That's awesome," he said nodding.
"Yup," she said grinning, "Are you sure you're dressed Daddy?"
"Yes," I said sighing, "I'm ready.
"Let us go," Angel said pointing her finger forward.
Walking out of the house and to Nick's car I put Angel in the backseat and waited for Nick to start the car. When he did some country music started to play and Angel tugged on my shirt.
"What's up Love?" I asked looking back at her.
Angel opened her mouth and started to sing the lyrics to the song. Shaking my head I saw Nick mouth them along with her. I had a feeling that somewhere down the line Angel's what she has now going to double or triple from what she has now.
"Okay so," I said clapping, "I'm assuming that the first stop is Hot Topic?"
"Yes," Angel said smirking.
"You shop at Hot Topic?" Nick asked cocking an eyebrow at us.
"Says the man who recognized a sign to a porn shop," Angel said innocently.
"You told her that?" Nick asked pulling into a parking space.
"Daddy didn't tell me," she said giggling, "Grandpa Grissom did."
"Okay," he said shaking his head, "Remind me to glare at Grissom for that."
"It's not his fault that you can tell the name of that shop when it's in a van window and backwards," Angel said shrugging.
"How much did he tell you?" I asked turning to her.
"Everything," she said calmly, "But he did skip over the gory details."
"Good," I said taking her out of the car, "Now let's go shop."
Getting out of the car I grabbed Angel and made sure that she was safely at my side before we started to walk into the building. When we got in there Angel grabbed both Nick and mine hands and tried to tug us to the clothes section.
"Breathe," Nick asked laughing at how excited Angel was, "Is she always like this?"
"Only in here," I said rolling my eyes.
"I see Miss Sanders is here," one of the employees, Chase, said walking to us, "What can I help you with today?"
"She's getting a new wardrobe," I said smiling.
"Mr. Sanders," he said looking up, "I didn't see you there. And who might this be?"
"I'm Nick Stokes," Nick said nodding, "I'm Greg's boyfriend."
"That is so wonderful," he said clapping, "Alright, I have some wonderful pieces that I know you're just going to love."
"Daddy," Angel said turning to me, "Can I go?"
"Sure," I said letting go of her hand, "We'll be in the store if you need us."
As Chase and Angel started to skip away from us Nick looked at me with a confused look. Smiling calmly I took his hand and walked over to the cds and looked to see if they had anything good or new out.
"What was that about?" Nicked asked next to me.
"What are yo talking about?" I asked looking through the cds.
"You let Angel go with him," he asked confused, "Do you know him or something?"
"He's my ex," I said shrugging, "We went out in high school, but decided to break up. He moved out here a year ago and takes care of Angel some times."
"Oh," he said rubbing his neck.
"What's wrong?" I asked putting everything down.
"Angel gets along with him so well," he said sighing.
"Now she gets along with him," I said smirking, "Angel used to hate Chase."
"Why didn't she like him?" Nick asked cocking an eyebrow at me.
"Because he was jealous," I said rolling my eyes, "But now she's okay with him."
Seeing Nick nod his head I chuckled softly to myself and started to look at the cds again. Turning around I saw Angel and Chase running around the store grabbing different things and putting them in a basket.
"He's really lucky that he knows the person that owns Hot Topic," I said shaking my head at them.
Nick laughed slightly and went over to look at the shirts that they had on sale. Walking over to him I kissed his cheek and cuddled into his chest. He laid his head on mine and pulled me tighter against him.
"See," Angel said behind us, "I told you that this color matched Daddy Nick's skin tone."
"What are you two doing?" I asked lifting my head up.
"Well," Chase said smiling, "Angel told me that she's planning your guys date and well we need you to have something to wear so we're thinking."
"Shop for her," I said pointing to Angel, "Because when we go out on a date we're wearing clothes from our own closets."
"Okay," he said rolling his eyes, "Then we're done."
"Are you serious?" Nick asked staring at Chase like he had three heads.
"Ya," he said calmly, "I had everything set up for her.
"How much do I owe you?" I asked pulling out my wallet.
"To be exact it's $2,387.43," he said yawning.
"Holy sh..." Nick started to say.
"No cussing," Chase, Angel, and I said at the same time.
"That's creepy," Nick said pointing at us.
"Not really," I said handing Chase my credit card, "It's when these two finish each other sentences that's creepy."
"We practice," Angel said smiling, "Now I just need socks and underwear."
"Then let's pick them up, get my car from Grissom's because I just realized I left it there, and move what we can into Nick's house," I said taking my card back and picking up some of the bags.
"Bye everyone," Chase said as we left.
"See," Angel said smiling smugly, "I told you it wasn't going to take a long time."
