Chapter 16

“Do you like Barbies and stuff?” asked Nick as him and Megan were walking around Toys R Us with a buggy full of toys.

“Yes.” said Megan as she picked one out and put it in the buggy.

“What else do you want that you don’t have?” asked Nick.

“A little dog.” said Megan.

“A puppy?” asked Nick.

“A little dog, a real little dog.” said Megan.

“A pug? Chuhuahua?” asked Nick, “You want a little dog?” as Megan nodded her head.

“Alright, we’ll get you a little dog….” said Nick as Megan started clapping her hands when she saw a Britney doll.

“Britney!” yelled Megan, “Britney! Britney! Britney!”

“Oh baby girl, chill….” said Nick as he took it off the shelf, “There, happy?”

“I love you Nick.” said Megan as she stood up in the buggy and hugged him as he looked around shocked, but smiling.

“I love you too Megan.” said Nick, “Now let’s go get that little dog.”

“Otay.” said Megan as they went to go check out.

A little bit later Samantha was sitting there on the sofa in the living room wearing a little black skirt and a little top, waiting for Nick and Megan to get back.

She was nervous and hadn’t done anything like this in a long time. Hell she’s never tried to dress up all seductive to get a guy. She didn’t know if she was doing the right thing or not, but she knew she had to get his mind to wondering and that this was the way to do it. Samantha knew that it was wrong but she had to do something.

“Uh damn Nick it’s like 6…. where the hell are you?” she thought when she heard someone opening the door and Megan ran in holding a little tan chauhuahua.

“Mommy! Mommy! Look what Nick got me.” said Megan as Samantha stood up looking in shock.

“A dog?” asked Samantha as Nick walking in carrying bags of toys.

“Mommy why you dressed like Britney?” asked Megan as Nick started to smile.

“Uhh why did you get her a dog?” asked Samantha.

“She wanted one.” said Nick.

“Yeah I know that but I hate dogs.” said Samantha, “That’s why she never got one.”

“Well it’s not that tough.” said Nick, “Look at her.. she’s even named her.”

“What did you name her?” asked Samantha.

“I named her Bubbles.” said Megan as Nick laughed.

“She wanted to name her Britney. Kid’s obssessed man.” said Nick laughing.

“I’m not taking care of a dog.” said Samantha.

“Okay then… I will.” said Nick as Samantha looked at him, “Come on Megan let’s go see all the stuff you got.” as they got down in the middle of the floor of the living room. Samantha just stood there in shock by what Nick said and he knew he did it on purpose to see what her reaction would be.

“You shouldn’t have gotten all this stuff.” said Samantha.

“Well it’s my money and I had some stuff to make up for.” said Nick, “Look Meg, it’s Britney.”

“Mommy I have two Britney’s now.” said Megan as she held up three fingers.

“Two..” said Samatha as she held up two fingers.

“That’s like two too many Britney’s.” said Nick laughing, “Dude Megan, look here’s those slinky thingys you wanted.”

“Oh..” said Megan as she grabbed them from Nick and the dog ran out of her hands, and started to try to jump at Samantha.

“Uh.. get it away..” said Samantha as Nick got up and picked up Bubbles and stood up infront of Samantha.

“Well you still clean up nice.” said Nick as Samantha rolled her eyes.

“Amazing you still notice from behind that damn sheild you’re hiding behind.” said Samantha as Nick smiled.

“Mommy look.” said Megan as she ran up to her with a CD.

“Journey?” asked Samantha.

“Start them young ya know..” said Nick as Samantha started to laugh.

“Yeah…” said Samantha as she bit her lower lip looking at Nick as he turned around and sat back down on the floor with Megan while Samantha rolled her eyes, “Well I need to go make a few phone calls… so you two have fun in here…” as she started to walk into the kitchen and Nick looked back at her.

“You know, you’re mama is very pretty.” said Nick as Megan smiled.

“She looks like Britney.” said Megan.

“You like Britney alot, do you like Christina Aguilera?” asked Nick.

“Mommy says she’s a bitch.” said Megan as Nick’s eyes got a mile wide.

“Shh.. that’s a bad word.. we’ll keep that on the downlow okay. Our secret.” said Nick.

“Otay.” said Megan as she giggled.

A couple of hours had passed and Samantha was sitting out on the backdoor steps that lead out to the beach from condo. She always sat out there thinking when she didn’t have anything else to do.

“I wonder why he said that?” she thought as she sat there looking at the waves crash against the shore, “He didn’t mean it… damn he was checking me out too…” she thought as she smiled a little and realized it was getting late.

Samantha got up and walked into the house, locking the back door. She walked through the kitchen, turning the lights out and walked into the living room to see Nick asleep on the sofa with Megan and Bubbles in his arms. She just stood there looking at them a minute, until she walked over and took her camera out of her cabinet, turning the flash off and took a few pictures. She just stood there and smiled because she’d never seen a more beautiful site.

She walked over, putting the camera up, and then walked back over to the sofa, throwing a small blanket over them and turned the heat up a little since it was suppose to be rather chilly that night. She stood there looking at them. She couldn’t leave, hell she didn’t want to leave. She just wanted to stay there and watch them sleep all night but she knew that she needed some sleep herself.

Samantha walked upstairs to her bedroom, where she started to cry as she crawled up on the bed to go to sleep. She layed there thinking about how Nick raised his voice at her today when she tried to talk to him and how good he was with Megan. She knew that winning him back wasn’t going to be easy, and that caused her to cry herself to sleep.
