Intro.

From One Thing To Another

The warm sun place its way into the middle of the sky as the day progressed on every second the clock ticked. Nicki opened her eyes and looked around. The room was still, painted a warm beige color. Blinking away the sleep that remained in her eyes, she sat up. Listening for something, anything she draped her legs over the bed and sat for a second. Her mind hadn’t processed what was happening just yet. No sounds could be heard as she sat in the room, windows and doors closed. Nicki then rose to her feet. The bed stood a few feet off the ground, making it difficult for her to get off in the mornings. Remembering the time when she forgot just how tall the bed was a slid right off and onto the floor, she laughed.

Nicki quickly undressed and grabbed her pink towel from the linen closet ways from her. She walked into the bathroom already nude and turned on the shower. Looking into the mirror as the water dropped loudly onto the shower floor as the water heated, she noticed a change. Her face was pale. She looked sick, very much so. Her eyes were barely open, but she was wide awake. She had bags underneath her eyes form lack of sleep, but to make matters worse, she had a late shift that night around 6. The water had already heated, Nicki stepped in.

Letting the water beat on her skin erasing all tension she felt daily. The pain and tenseness would only be gone for a certain amount of hours. Nicki grabbed the soap from the soap holder and grabbed her wash towel and began bathing. After rinsing away the soap, she stepped out as the water turned off.

The bedroom door opened just a Nicki was finished dressing. She looked over at her fiancé. He stood 6 ft. tall. His muscular frame was defiantly praised. He was sexy, she considered herself lucky. He walked closer.

“Hey I’m about to leave.” He said as he sat at the edge of the bed. He was also in the business career. He didn’t work in the same office though. His office was in another town almost on the completely other side of California.

“Ok,” Nicki stopped once she seen the shadow of small feet heading their way. “What time should you be back?”  She continued once she saw the small pair of feet turn back around.

“Around five, six if it’s too busy.”

Nicki nodded in understanding, “Hopefully you’ll be back around 5, because my shift starts at 6.”

“I’ll try. It depends if Mike will let me. You know how strict he can be when it comes to work.”

“Yeah, I know. Just ask for me… okay?”

He looked at her. She looked beautiful in her baby blue and orange sundress. Her sandals brought her height up some inches. He watched as she put on her earrings and bracelet he had bought her for their anniversary.

“Jay, can you go check on Lily? I’ll be back down in a second since we have to go grocery shopping.” Jay excused himself from their bedroom to check on their two year old child. Nicki quickly descended the stairs and walked into the living area. The sun shun through the opened curtains. In the middle of the floor sat Lily as she colored in her coloring book, as Dora The Explorer was fixed on the flatscreen.

“C’mon Munchkin.”

“Why Mommy?”

“Because we need to stop by the store. If you hurry and get your shoes, I’ll buy you a new toy.”

It worked everytime. She was upstairs and back down in a matter of 2 minutes.

“Rweady, Mommy.”

I smiled down at my smart little princess as we headed out.

We finally were able to get into the store. Paparazzi crowded the doors as the snapped pictures of random people, obviously looking for someone in particular. Heading down the aisle Nicki didn’t notice someone coming straight towards her. Obviously he didn’t notice either, because our carts collided.

He looked at me and quickly apologized, “I’m so sorry.” His voice was deep and sounded very sexy. There was no way he was single. Nicki licked her lips unknowingly and he smiled.

Nicki finally caught onto herself, “Y-Yeah, I’m fine. I should have been looking.” She didn’t freak out once she noticed the paps were after him. He was obviously someone famous.  She really didn’t care, didn’t interest her at all.

She walked past on and into a checkout line that didn’t have so many people in it. He walked past and exited after smiling at her and her heart fluttered uncontrollably. He had her and didn’t have a clue who she was, or so she thought. She was defiantly missing something.

Short, but just an idea of what’s to come. I’ll try to post tonight or tomorrow night promise. Who did she run into? What is she missing? Hmm? More coming soon. I won’t ask for comments until more people notice the new story and follow!
