We walk in the backyard for his exercise when I have an idea. Walking around this backyard, making small talk gets boring. Though the beautiful stars above glancing in the dark blue sky was something.
"What's wrong?"He asks
"Let's race"I suggest
I raise my eyebrow and challenge him "I'll win, you know that right?"
"Please!"I laugh
"I may be hurt but, you know I'll bet your ass"
"Excuse me sir! Are you forgetting that I ran track?!"
"How could I forget...those photos" he smirks
I chuckle "If I win-I get an foot massage, waiting on you hurts"
"If I win-" He pauses
I smirk, tying my hair back
"I get to take you out for dinner"
I pause
He won't win-can't win
"Game on! First one around this pool and to touch that bench wins"
On the count of three we take off. This man runs like his life depends on it. My heart races as I run faster. I am so close to the bench when I pause to look back.
Bam!
He runs into me, knocking me down. He falls on top of me as we lay on the floor. Like those damn movies....
Laughing as I rub my head, he looks at me taking his weight off and putting it on this elbows.
"I think the last time we were like this, we were racing for the last of the eggnog" He laughs
"And of course your brother ended up taking it" I laugh back
We sober up and its then I realize this man in front of me...is starting to rub off on me. This time we have had to spend together, I've realized I still have something for him. It scares me...he could be acting like this to get to Char.
Clearing my thoughts away, I grin
"I won" I whisper as my hand touches the bench "My feet can't wait"
"Only because you got a head start"
"Lair!" I hit his shoulder
"Ow!"
"Oh shit! I'm sorry...actually I'm not"I stick my tongue out
"So mature"
He laughs getting up and offers me a hand. I take it happily. As I stand on my feet someone speaks up
"What are you doing here?"
Nick and I snap our heads towards the house and see her
"Mother"Nick names
I fix myself up before looking back at her.
"Dear, you look a mess! Let's get you in and cleaned up"She fake smiles
"I don't need your help"He states looking at me then back at her
"You think showering with her is appropriate?!"
"I can shower myself without help. Now before you have anything else to say why are you here?"
I stand next to Nick not knowing when to speak
"I came to help you out. The news outlets are going crazy. I wanted to let you know I stopped all rumors about you and your ex wife getting together" She smiles evilly
