Chapter Ten

The Talk

~It was now turning 7:00 p.m. and the couple was on their way home.~

"Yeah...Okay, good. Alright, we're on the way now. Mhmm see you soon." Nicole ended the call as she put her cell phone up in her black skirt pocket.

"Was that dad?" Gumball questioned Nicole from the passenger seat.

"Yep. He asked if we were on the way home and he told me that he got tacos for tonight's dinner." She said to Gumball with a grin.

"What's with you?" Gumball smirked and questioned the joyful mother.

"I'm just happy that i got to spend the day with you is all. I hope you feel the same way as well...?" She asked nervously trying to pry out more kind words from her significant other.

"Well of course I feel the same way. I never really been on a actual date as serious as ours, but it was really special, plus it was just fun being around you. How could I not like it, everything about you is amazing mom." The boy said looking away from her shyly out the passenger side window.

Nicole adored him so much and the compliments she got from him all-day. Just the thought of him being with her alone right now at dusk only drove her further up the wall and made her desires grow more. She bit her bottom lip at the thought of wanting to find the nearest desolate parking lot and giving herself away to Gumball right now.

"Hey Mom? You look like you're burning up, is everything okay?" Gumball asked in a worried tone noticing her insane blush.

"Y-yeah I'm just thankful to have you." She said giving him a seductive look.

"Oh...well I'm glad to have you too..." The teen said with a blush noticing her enticing stare.

Nicole finally arrived at the house but she wasn't fully ready to go in just yet...

"Well...we're finally home." Nicole said while pulling up to their curb and turning off all the car lights so no one could really see unless they were close. She then started leaning over to the passenger side, close to Gumball's face. She couldn't fight her urge any longer. She had to have more of him.

"Um...what?..." Gumball nervously asked feeling his face heat up even more.

"You know what I want..." She said with a sly smile showing her fangs.

"But what if someone see us kiss?" He asked still blushing.

"I don't care right now..I just want my Gumball." She said while letting out a small but very attractive purr.

Gumball's heart was practically pounding at his chest from Nicole's sudden outburst. He didn't know how to react, as he could only focus on her soft lips slowly approaching his, until suddenly both their ears perked up from the distant sound of their front door opening. Nicole quickly backed away from Gumball and opened the car door to avoid any unwanted attention. When she finally saw the door open fully, Darwin was there giving a warm welcome by waving at the two. Nicole and Gumball both waved back with slight drops of sweat on their face from the rush of excitement.

"Sorry honey i-i don't know what came over me..." Nicole said to Gumball trying to fan her burning face.

"It's fine...let's just go inside..." Gumball opened his side of the car door and approached the house. He could feel his heart still racing. He never saw that "look" before.

"It's like she wanted..something more than a kiss. And that purr she did was so...so..." The teen thought while avoiding looking back behind him at her.

As he walked forward Nicole was behind him and she just couldn't stop looking and wanting him.

"~sigh~..."

"It has been such awhile since the last time I had sex..maybe it's starting to finally take effect on me now...I can't rush him to that though...at least not yet..." She thought with a smirk.

When they walked into the house everyone gathered around the dining room table to eat their dinner. Nicole wasn't that hungry but she stuck around just so she could be in his presence. Darwin was talking to Gumball about his new fish tank. Richard was stuffing his face and Anais was examining Nicole while eating her dinner.

After everyone finished, they were going to their rooms. Of course Richard was fast asleep in bed by now and Gumball and Darwin were going upstairs next.

"Dude I can't wait to show you! I'm not completely finished moving all my stuff into it though but it still looks awes-" Darwin was saying until he was cut off by a tiny voice.

"Wait Darwin, wouldn't want to show Gumball the tank when it's at perfection. You might as well should finish it now. Besides I have to talk to Gumball anyway." Anais said.

"Yeah! Your right! See ya buddy I got work to do!" The younger brother left to go upstairs in a hurry.

"Well that was easy..." Anais thought.

"So...you two went on a date?" Anais said while looking back at Gumball and Nicole.

It was a minute of silence and Gumball sat there holding his arm. Nicole finally decided to speak up but with bead of sweat forming on her forehead.

"W-what makes you ask that?..." She asked nervously.

"Mom, look at what you're wearing." Anais said pointing at her outfit with a boastful smirk.

Nicole just sat there realizing she forgot what she was wearing.

"Not to mention I see you're both wearing the same bracelet." She said raising a eyebrow.

"Sis, please don't tell anyone!" Gumball pleaded.

"Hehe, I have no intentions on doing that...to be honest I do mind this "thing" you too have, but at the same time I can't help but like it since it relates to a book I've been reading about two characters who aren't allowed to be in love since they come from two families that's been enemies for generations but that doesn't stop them from still wanting one another." Anais said while holding her blushing face.

Nicole and Gumball just sat looking at her her with blank expression.

"What? I'm a girl. We like love stories." She said holding her arms up.

"Yeah true." Gumball and Nicole both said.

"Does that mean you're okay with our relationship honey...?" Nicole asked looking at her with hope gleaming in her eyes. Gumball also sat there looking at Anais for a response.

"~Sigh~ okay I don't mind it but just don't overdo it. Elmore may have a lot of scatter-brained people but that doesn't mean you're safe to go out alone together wearing something like that on your wrist. Just be careful ok. Cause the only thing that worries me is if something happens, like to the characters in my story." She said with a serious expression.

"What happened?" Gumball curiously asked.

"Let's just say the families fell apart. And I don't want the same to happen to ours." Anais said looking at both of them.

"Don't worry sis. I don't plan on it doing that." Gumball said with confidence on his face.

Anais just nodded her head.

"I'm sure Darwin is probably finished now and is waiting on you." She said to Gumball.

"Oh yeah, your right!" Gumball said as went to hug Nicole then he gave Anais a big hug.

"Thanks a ton for understanding Anais. By the way how did you even find out about us?" Gumball asked while Nicole leaned in forgetting to ask her about how she knew all this time.

"I went to go to the little girl's room then I heard whispering downstairs and I went to check it out and to my surprise I saw you two holding hands and cuddled together." She said with a laugh looking at the two embarrassed cats.

"Well...let me hurry to Darwin." Gumball said with a slight blush.

When he got to the stairs he made sure Anais couldn't see him. He then silently mouthed the words "I'll see you later." to Nicole. When she understood what he said she made sure she didn't try to smile too much so Anais wouldn't question it.

"Well, now that he's gone I can actually ask the serious stuff." Anais said turning her attention to Nicole who was across the table from her.

Nicole's eyes widened at the fact that she was just getting started. She thought that's all that she wanted to know already.

"What about dad. If you don't love him anymore then fine. But it doesn't mean that I don't. He's my dad and I don't want to see him hurt. So why abandon him for Gumball?" She said with a stern expression.

"~Sigh~ Anais it's a long story..." Nicole said clinching her hands on her skirt.

"Well tell me. I need to understand why." The girl said while folding her arms.

"If you really haven't noticed then your just as careless as him." Nicole words were said with sharpness that stung.

"What do you mean?" Anais said as her face loosened up.

"Our love has diminished over these years. He doesn't see me as anything else but a provider to him. It's as if he's another one of you kids to me. He doesn't care about me anymore either. He's forgot our anniversary so many times that I just stopped caring." She said feeling tears forming in her eyes.

"Not to mention I haven't felt another lovers touch in such a long time..." Nicole quietly thought to herself.

"I-i didn't know it was like that." Anais said while looking away from her.

"No one does, because I just wanted to deal with it on my own." Nicole answered calmly with a small stream of tears coming down her cheek.

"Wait, Gumball doesn't know?" Anais questioned the crying mother.

"No." Nicole said with a monotone expression.

"I thought you would've told him first at least. You know, with you two being involved and all." Anais said with a surprise tone.

"We may be involved, but it doesn't mean I'm going to treat him completely different from the rest of my kids. I see you all as equals." The mother answered.

"...I didn't know.." Anais was at shock from Nicole view on everyone. She just figured she'd care more about Gumball.

"Well when will you let dad know?" Anais asked.

"After I'm certain to tell him my feelings with Gumball." Nicole said.

"Fine. Take your time. No need to rush. Just don't take too long. And don't be too harsh on him, I won't forgive you if you are. I get that you're hurt by him but don't hurt his feelings too, it won't solve anything." Anais said folding her arms.

"I'll try." Nicole said rolling her eyes.

"Good. I have one last question mom"

"Yeah sweetie?"

"What made you start liking Gumball? Was it because Dad stopped showing his love?" Anais questioned her mother.

"That's part of the reason, but I'm sure you've seen how determined he can be at times. Gumball is just a caring person and not just for his family. I honestly don't know where he gets it from because I wasn't like that at all when I was younger. As silly as he is, his intentions are pure of heart. There's just something I see in him that I never in my life seen in another person. That's why I know for a fact he won't ever hurt me. And I swear on my life I don't plan on it either." She said looking Anais in her eyes.

"All I can do is take your word on that, even though there's kinda a lot at stake if things go wrong, you have my full support mom." Anais said in a sincere tone.

"Oh thank goodness.." The crying mother replied.

Anais rushed over to her to comfort her in a hug.

"You really must love him huh." The girl said.

"You don't think I'm a freak for that do you?" She said looking at her daughter with more tears running down her cheeks.

"Yeah I'll admit it's strange. But there's much much more weirder things in Elmore mom." the girl said with a laugh.

"Just don't do anything in front of me, that's embarrassing to see you two like I saw the other day!" The girl said with a slight blush.

"Hehe sorry about that and I promise." Nicole answered with a giggle.

"Good. Well thanks for finally having this talk with me but I'm getting tired so I'll go head to bed now. Night mom." the little girl waved to Nicole as she went up the stairs.

"Night sweetie. Love you." Nicole said with a gentle smile.

"Love you too." Anais repeated to Nicole.

"I guess I'll go shower now." Nicole said lowly to herself.

~45 minutes later~

Nicole got out the shower and then proceeded to walk to her room covered in a white towel.

"Of course you're asleep." She rolled her eyes and said to herself looking at Richard who was snoring covered by the blankets.

She then let her towel drop off of her body exposing her figure. She didn't have big breast but they were still were perky, and round. But what she did have though was a firm butt and a hourglass figure. Her hips were very defined and personally her best feature. It's what she liked most about herself and made her really feel like a woman.

"Hopefully he appreciates my body..." She thought to herself while looking in her room mirror.

"Hmm actually..." The woman stopped to try out a naughty idea she came up with in her head...

~brrr brrr~

"Huh?" Gumball was in his night clothes wearing his white and red t-shirt and blue boxers. He was laying down in his bed scrolling through his Elmore Plus until he felt his cell phone vibrate because of a text he received from his mother.

- Meet me downstairs -

Gumball wondered if she had something to ask him. So he quickly got up to check what was up. When he got downstairs he saw Nicole laying on her side on the couch resting her head in her hand on the arm of the couch. With a small glass of red wine on the table. She looked troubled by something so Gumball sat next to her.

"Everything okay?" The teen asked.

She sat up and turned to look at him. Gumball saw that she was wearing her usual green house robe but this time it was slightly opened at the top exposing some of her cleavage. When he saw this he immediately turned red in the face. Nicole noticed it and liked the reaction she hoped for out of him.

"Yeah I'm fine. I just wanted to see you one last time before we both went to bed. Is everything okay with you? You look like you're troubled by something.." she said teasing the boy with a giggle.

"Yeah it's nothing..." Gumball said turning his head from her direction.

"Okay good. I thought it was kinda hot in here so I thought I'd just *only* wear my robe." She said while opening it a little more.

"By the way, I still want my kiss from earlier honey..." She said with a purr and that seductive look again while crawling over to him.

Gumball was backed up on the other side of the couch as Nicole crawled slowly to him with her behind sticking up in the air flicking her tail from left to right slowly. Gumball saw just the rounded top of her blue breast completely from how much she opened her robe, the next thing he knew was, he felt her smooth lips press against his. She was practically on top of him and rubbing her index finger slowly against his chest and making it go lower and lower and lower until she stopped it at his waist. She was shaking with excitement at just getting so close to her lust for him. Before she could finally reach her hand into his boxers they both stopped at the sound of someone at the top of the stairs. When they looked back it was Richard just standing there. Both the cats ears shot downward at what would happen next. He didn't move...Instead, he let out a loud snore.

"~phew~ he's only sleep walking again." Gumball said wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me! Why now of all times!?" Nicole angrily thought to herself as she squinted at the sleeping man.

She hissed as she stood up and readjusted her robe.

Gumball saw that she was clearly aggravated from the way she got up and the aura that formed around her like she was about to turn into a Super Saiyan.

"RICHARD!" The woman screamed his name while stomping her foot to wake him up not caring if she woke the rest of the family.

"H-huh?..why am I at the top of the stairs?" The man asked in confusion.

"Dad, you were totally sleep walking again." Gumball spoke up.

"Oh thanks honey. Remember last time when I fell downstairs from sleep walking." He said with a laugh.

"How could I forget. We were in the hospital all night." Nicole said while rolling her eyes.

"Just go back to bed. I'll meet you up there soon." She said while holding the bridge of her nose.

"~yawn~ ok honey..." Richard said.

"~yawn~ Man I'm tired too...Welp goodnight Mom!" Gumball said as he faked yawn then immediately dashed upstairs leaving a blue blur.

As annoyed as Nicole was from her moment being ruined she couldn't help but giggle at how embarrassed Gumball was.

Back upstairs in the boys room.

"Dude what was mom yelling about? Don't tell me someone tried to break in again, I still feel bad for the last guy. He's still in the hospital till this day. And that happened two years ago..." Darwin asked peeking from his fish tank.

"Nah...Nobody's that stupid to try that again. Dad was just sleep walking and she didn't want him to hurt himself again. Let's just go back to bed buddy." Gumball said hopping into his bed.

"Alright. G'night Gumball." The younger brother said as he went back into his tank.

"Night." Gumball replied.

"Was she really about to do "THAT" with me..." He thought silently to himself feeling his heart pacing quickly as he got under his covers and drifted to his dreams...

(I was working on this all night since I was flooded with ideas randomly. As usual, I hope you all liked it!)
