| She turned at the sound of his voice. The horseplay in the pool ceased when Melissa noticed his presence. She stepped out and grabbed a towel. "What the hell are these Melissa?"he angrily waved the papers she had filed. "Can we go inside and discuss this?" "So your precious little boyfriend over there doesn't have to know?" "You leave Nick out of this. He has nothing to do with this." "Doesn't he?" "You have no right ." "I know I was a fool Missy but Nick? I expected you could do better than that." "What so wrong with him? Probably nothing other then the fact that he's not you is your only problem with him." "Get outta here Howie,"Nick interveened. "There you go. Protecting the little woman." "You son of a bitch! Nick is not my boyfriend to begin with. He is a friend. Something you never were the minute you said "I do". All I was to you was a fucking ornament. I can't believe there was a time you were ever truly in love with me. Hell for all I know, you've been doing this to me long before we exchanged vows. And you know what hurts the most? Knowing that the first time you said I love you never meant a damn thing to you. It was just a way to get me into your bed,"Melissa interjected. "Unlike blondie here." "Dammit Howie! You can't get it through your thick skull that there is no other man. There never has been. You've been the only man I've ever been with in my life. A fact you've used over the past couple of years to keep me on a short rope." "Then why does he defend you like a man in love?" "Do something,"Sherl urged AJ. "Hey D. Let me walk you to your car and we can talk about this,"he interrupted. "No. I came to talk some sense into my wife but she has no sense anymore,"Howie spat. "Right now Howard,"He ordered his friend . "This isn't over,"he shot back over his shoulder as AJ dragged him away from the party. "I'll be right back,"Sherl excused herself leaving the two of them alone. She felt his hands upon her shoulder. She shrugged them off and turned around. "What the hell is going on here Nick? I've just left my husband and I feel like you are moving right in to take his place. Is he right?" Nick hesitated. He knew he had some very real feelings for her but she didn't seem to be ready to return those just yet."I don't know Mis. I won't lie and tell you that I have absolutely no feelings for you because I do. I've known I can't live without you since the day I met you. If that means I have to be your friend to be a part of your life then that's what I'll be." "So you do wanna take his place." |
