“Reservations for Carter,” Nick
said to a man in an important looking black suit, we were standing just inside
huge glass doors.
“Yes, right this way,” the man
replied leading the way past candle-lit tables, “Our finest table, sir. Enjoy
your meal.” Nick pulled out my chair and
I smoothed my long black silk dress as I sat down. I had pulled
my shoulder length blonde hair into a curly pony-tail. Nick looked sexy as ever
in a very sleek black suit.
“You take my breath away,” He
whispered into my ear as he sat down across from me. He took my hand
in his and I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Nick ordered for us and we had
wine while we waited.
“Can I have my surprise now?” I
asked, suddenly remembering.
“Not yet. As soon as we eat
though.” Just as the words left his lips the waiter sat our dinner on the
table. Soon we were finished and waiting
for dessert.
“I need to go the restroom. I’ll be
right back,” Nick said, standing.
“Hurry,” I said, “I’m still
waiting for my surprise.” I smiled and watched him walk towards the bathroom,
stop and walk right past it. My smile faded as he quickly made his way to a side
exit and slipped outside.
“What’s going on” I mumbled under
my breath, slowly standing up. I glanced around and then made my way
to the door. I peeked outside the door just in time to see Nick slide into his
car. Confused, I slowly crept
outside and knelt behind a row of cars a few feet away, but directly behind
Nick’s car. Through the back
window I could see two shadowy figures, and from the outline of the one in the
passengers seat I knew it was a
woman.
“What the hell does he think he’s
doing?” I grumbled to myself as I saw the two figures lean towards each
other. She turned her head slightly and I could tell they were kissing. It
seemed like hours before they
finally broke apart. My chest felt as though someone had ripped out my heart.
Then I felt my face get red and my
hands clench into fists. How could he do this? I asked myself. I won’t cry,
he’s not worth it. I stood up
straight and marched towards the car just as Nick’s door flew open and he
stepped out.
“Courtney? What are you doing out
here?” Nick asked with a stunned statement. I opened my mouth to ask
him the same question, but before I could utter a word the passenger door swung
open. The woman turned around
quickly. My breath caught in my throat.
“Tommi? What the fuck do you think
you’re doing?” I screamed, feeling the tears well up in my throat. Tears
of anger. Tears of hurt.
“Nothing,” She replied weakly,
glancing toward Nick.
“Nothing my ass! You’re trying to
screw me over! What, did you think I wouldn’t find out? We’re staying
in the same house! You’re fucking bold!! Who do you think you are?” I took a
step closer, the tears I had been
fighting were now streaming down my face.
“Look, baby, it’s not what you
think,” Nick said reaching out for my hand.
“Don’t you ever touch me again you
bastard!” I jerked my hand away, “and don’t you ever call me baby.”
“Please just calm down and let us
explain,” Tommi pleaded.
“No. I don’t wanna hear it,” I
brushed some tears away. “Tommi, I thought you were my friend? We’ve
been through so much together. But hey, it’s not totally your fault. I mean,
what girl wouldn’t take him up on
an offer. But you, Nick. I though you loved me,” I choked through my tears,
“I was wrong. Why did I believe
you?! God I’m so stupid to believe that you loved me and only wanted me
when you had thousands of girls throwing
themselves at you!! Have you been sleeping with every other girl
you meet? Or just my friends?” I turned and began to walk away, when I heard
Nick speak.
“No. You’re wrong,” He said
through clenched teeth. “I don’t want anybody else. I would never hurt
you. I love you.”
“Bull shit!” I screamed, stopping
to turn and look at him. “I’m sick of your fuckin’ lies!! Was this my
surprise?!” I asked.
“Here’s you stupid surprise!!” He
roared throwing something in my direction.
