*Shelby*
I grabbed my phone from my purse and put it up to my right ear. "Hello?" "Hey, Shelby?" Leighanne said eagerly. "Hi. What's wrong?" "It's Sean. He won't stop crying!" "Calm down," I insisted. "I'm supposed to be telling you that!" she groaned. "Did you give him a bottle?" "Brian tried that." "Okay. Well, try wrapping him up with a blanket, giving him that little white bear, and rocking him in the rocking chair in his room." "Okay, hold on." I heard her telling Brian what I said to do. "I'm back! It worked!" "Good." "Well, I better let Nick and you get back to your untum," she cleared her throat," date." "Yeah, yeah! Bye!" I hung up my phone and put it in my purse. "Sean?" Nick asked as he tied his shoes. "Yeah. They couldn't get him to stop crying," I answered shyly. "Are you ready to go?" "Uh...yeah." I slipped on my shoes and brushed the remaining sand from my dress. "I'm sorry," Nick all the sudden said as we climbed into the limo. "What for?" "You know what I'm talking about," he replied seriously. "Yeah, and it's okay," I mumbled. It was silent the rest of the ride to the house we shared.

I opened the front door and stepped inside. Nick was outside talking to the limo driver. Once I shut the door, I turned the outside light on and strolled into the living room. I was Brian and Leighanne laying onthe couch watching a movie while Sean was sleeping in his bassinet. "Oh, hey, Shelby!" Brian sat up. "Hi. Did you guys have fun?" I questioned them. "Yeah. Sean was good besides you now, when he wouldn't stop crying," Leightanne answered. "Yeah. thanks for watching him." "No prob." Brian smiled. "So, how was your evening?" "It was fun." "Fun? That's it?" Brian smirked looking at his wife. "We just went out as frined, Brian!" "Oh, okay..." Just then the front door opened and Nick came into the living room. "Hey, guys," he greeted as he tooka seat in a chair. "Hello, Nick," Brian grinned straightening his hat. "Hi. You guys have fun with Sean?" Nick asked as I made my way over to my nephew. "Yeah. He's an easy kid to watch," Leighanne told him. I looked down at Sean and a small smiled crept on my face. I picked him up and he started crying. "Sorry," I apologized to Nick, Leighanne, and Brian as I stepped into the kitchen. I make my way over to the pantry and grabbed a can of formula. As I was pouring it into a blue bottle I heard the front door shut. "Ssh...Sean. It's okay." I rubbed his back in circles and he quieted dwon. I twisted the lid onto the bottle and put it in his mouth. I turned the ktichen light off and went upstairs. As I crept down the hallway, I saw Nick's light on through under the door. I did want to kiss him at the beach. I'd wanted to for God knows how long! What about our friendship, though? How did he feel about me? Am I just his "best friend"? I was so confused! I laid Sean on the changing table in his room and grabbed a pair of his pajamas. They were white with blue and red airplanes on them. I changed his diaper before I put them on him and stepped to his crib laying him down in it.
*Nick*
I stood at the doorway watching Shelby intensly. She was so beautiful. I wished I would've kissed her at the beach. I'd finally gotten my chance but I blew it! Just as se went to turn around I stepped into the room. "Shelby?" She turned around slowly replying,"Yeah?" "I...I just wanted to say good night." I walked over to Sean's crib. " Well...ah...good night," Shelby said stepping away from me as I kissed Sean's forhead. "Night." I looked at her and stood infront her. She looked at me shyly, and I pulled her into a hug. Why? I have no clue! She pulled away first and looked down at the ground. "Night," I mumbled as I walked out of the room and into mine. Why was she pushing me away, again? I wondered if she felt the say way I did. Maybe she was confused like I was. Being best friends with a girl has it's bad pints. But isn't it better to be good friends first? Why was I feeling this way about her? I was perplexed as hell!
