I'm sorry I didn't update. I know the last time I updated was a very very long time ago. So I'm posting three chapters for you guys. Please review on all chapters because I really want to know what you think.
Chapter 20
Sara woke just in time for dinner. She quickly got off the bed and went into the bathroom. She looked into the mirror and saw her tear stained face. She had cried herself to sleep. It was too much to handle because she still loved Nick, even though she tried to deny it.
"I have to stay strong for Danny," said Sara into the mirror.
She washed her face and tied her hair into a ponytail and changed into her sweats and an over sized T-shirt. She went into the living room and saw the most precious thing. Nick and Danny were dancing to the music. It was 'Just The Two Of Us' by Will Smith.
Nick was twirling Danny around on his shoulder and Danny was giggling furiously.
"Uncle Nicky, put me down," shrieked Danny.
"Okay," said Nick. He put Danny down and started to tickle him.
"Uncle Nicky, that tickles!"
"Danny, I'm tired," said Nick as he lay down next to Danny.
"Hey guys," said Sara letting her presence known.
"Mommy," yelled Danny as he got up and ran towards Sara. He hugged Sara's legs with his tiny arms.
"Did you behave with Uncle Nicky," asked Sara, looking down to him.
"Yeah, we had fun, we played with all the games and Uncle Nicky tickled me," said Danny giggling.
"You hungry? Because mommy is," said Sara.
"I'm hungry too," said Danny.
"I'm hungry three," said Nick.
"Okay, so I'm going to make us dinner, you go play with Uncle Nicky, okay?"
"Okay."
Sara made them some salad and mash potato and chicken steak. She called them to the dining table and they had their meals. Nick was surprised to see Sara cooked chicken because when they were living together Sara couldn't even stand the look of raw meat.
"Sara, you do know that's chicken meat, right," asked Nick.
"Yeah, why?" asked Sara.
"Well, once you couldn't even stand the look of raw meat and now you're cooking it,"
"Yeah, well, I don't want Danny to not eat meat because of me, and we can't always have take-outs, so I just bear with it for Danny," explained Sara.
"Oh, makes sense, just when I thought I knew you," said Nick.
"There's a lot about me you don't know now, Nick," said Sara.
Nick just looked at her. He knew there was a double meaning to her words. Sara noticed that Danny wasn't eating his vegetables.
"Danny, why aren't you eating your vegetables?'
"It's yucky," said Danny.
"But it's good for you," said Sara.
"But it's still yucky," said Danny making a disgusted face.
"Okay, finish your food, after this take a bath and go straight to bed," said Sara.
"But I want to watch cartoons," whined Danny.
"Danny, listen to your mommy," said Nick.
"All right, alright, sorry mommy," said Danny even though he wasn't happy with it.
They ate their dinner and after that Danny took a bath. Nick helped him put on his pajamas and combed his hair and set him in his room.
"Night, honey," said Sara.
"Mmm," mumbled Danny dozing off.
Sara and Nick walked out of his room and closed the door partially.
"He was out as a light," said Sara.
"Yeah, we were playing non- stop just now, of course he's tired," said Nick yawning.
"I think you're tired too," said Sara smiling.
"I am, I think I'm going to head to the hotel," said Nick.
"It's getting late, I think you should just sleep here," suggested Sara.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, but you have to sleep on the couch, though," said Sara.
"I don't mind, as long as I am near you and Danny."
"Then, I'll go get some pillows and blankets for you."
Sara took the pillows and blankets and made the couch for Nick.
"It's not really comfortable compared to the hotel," said Sara apologetically.
"It's okay, at least it's more comfortable than the couch in our house….I mean my house," said Nick. He could have kicked himself in the head because he said 'our house'. They weren't together anymore but when he saw her it felt like she never left because he loved her the same maybe more.
"Um…okay, I'm going to leave and let you sleep now, night Nick."
"Bye Sara,"
Sara went to her room while Nick laid on the couch and all the tiredness he just felt just now went away thinking about Sara. She was just in another room while he was on the couch. How he longed just to go inside and hold her in his arms. Oh, the temptation.
Sara laid on the bed and was fighting the urge to just let Nick come to bed with her and just let him hold her because she needed him badly. But she knew she couldn't because the wall she had built around her heart will collapse just like that. So she had to be strong even though he loved Nick with all her heart.
So how was it? Please review!
