shower and pull my hair back in a ponytail. I put on my dark blue tank top and blue cotton shorts. I try to lie down on my bed, it's a little early for me to go to bed especially when I'm thinking about Nick. I'm not as upset with him as I was when we first got to Blue. How can I be? I'm still a little buzzed from the wine, lying in bed thinking about his eyes, his smile, and those lips.
I've thought about those lips touching mine many times over the years right here on this bed, not to mention all the other places I would like him to touch. I need to stop. I waited too long, I missed my chance and I can't really be mad at him. He never promised me anything. I've been gone for four years, and I shouldn't expect to come back and find him single waiting to welcome me home with open arms. I should leave that fantasy in the movies and sappy romance novels. But at least he could have had the decency to tell me he was seeing my fucking sister, I deserved at least that. He would have told me about any other woman he was dating. I wouldn't expect Kate to tell me, we never had conversations about the guys we were dating.
"Buzz."
My cell phone is still on vibrate. I reach over and pick it up. "Speak of the devil." He sent me a text.
Nick:
Thinking about me? ;-)
Cat:
No! :-|
Nick:
Liar. :-)
Cat:
How did you know I was awake?
Nick:
Easy, I know you never go to sleep early but you like to wake up early. If you sleep later than 8:30a.m., you feel like half the day has passed you by and it was wasted.
He's right, damn him.
Cat:
For your information, that was the old me. I've started going to bed early since I've started my exercise regime.
Nick:
So what are you doing up now?
Let me guess.
Thinking about me.
Cat:
Conceited MF'er, aren't you?
Nick:
Yes. I notice you've added a few new words to your vocabulary.
Cat:
Do you have a problem with that too? I'm not exactly the same person I was when I left. I've changed and I've grown up some.
Nick:
I know you've changed and you're not exactly the same.
I was being an ass earlier tonight.
Cat:
Yes, you were a total and complete ass!
Nick:
Do me a favor, let 's call a truce for tonight.
I miss my friend. The one I could call at two in the morning.
When I was cramming for an exam back in the day, my stress reliever.
You can be mad at me tomorrow.
Cat:
Truce. For tonight.
Nick:
What if I told you I was outside your window right now watching you?
Cat:
I would say you done turned into a stalker. Do I have to call the authorities, Mr. Alexander?
Nick:
Oh, you're a comedian now.
You have jokes, Ms. Reed.
Cat:
No jokes here, Mr. Alexander, I might have to call the police and tell them I have a stalker on my hands.
Nick:
It's a good thing I have influential friends in high places that can make things happen, the way I want them to.
I'm going to call u now, answer your phone.
"Are you really outside?"
"No, but I can be, all you have to do is say the word and I'll be there."
He sounds so sexy over the phone, my own personal sex phone operator, I'm tempted to tell him to come over.
"I think I've seen enough of you for one night. Are you sure you're not in front of my house?"
"I'm absolutely sure I'm lying down in my bed talking to you. Are you in bed?"
"Yes, and I do remember us doing this when you were in college and you couldn't focus on whatever exam you were studying for and we would talk about the most random things."
"Then I would tell you about my day and fill you in on what you had to look forward to in college. I felt better after I talked to you, those conversations helped me to focus and clear my mind again. Talking to you and a strong pot of coffee helped me get through those study sessions."
"Those were the good old days when things between us were simpler."
"Yes, they were. What do you plan to do now that you have finished with school and living in New York again?"
"That's the thing, I don't know, I'm not sure. You go to
