2024-10-29 19:42:56Pulling up at Nick's Cheyenne was a ball of nerves. She had no idea what her dad would say to Nick. The fact that he wanted to talk to him in private worried her even more. What would happen?
Nick wasn't in the house so she walked to the backyard finding him in his shop. "Hey," she said walking up slowly.
He looked up from his workbench, "where have you been?"
Cheyenne shrugged walking up beside him leaning in to kiss him. "Why didn't you tell me my dad hit you?"
Pausing Nick looked down at her, "so you went and talked to your dad today? How did that go?"
Sighing Cheyenne tilted her head, "Nick, don't bypass my question."
He smiled down at her reaching out and pulling her closer to him. "It wasn't worth upsetting you with. Besides he didn't hit me that hard. You'd have known don't you think?"
Cheyenne laid her head against his chest, "I guess. He is coming over tonight to talk to you. He asked me to stay away. I don't know how I feel

Never Meant to be His In Need of a Distraction
Cheyenne Morris laid in her bed staring at her ceiling trying to think of anything to do to get her out of the house. She should still be in Austin, she should be having fun this summer, not stuck at home with her parents. It was her own misdeeds that had her parents demanding she come back home. Finally free from her parent's strict thumb she had gone a little wild her freshman year of college. Too many parties, too many drinks, well that had been a recipe for disaster.The once straight-A student found herself passing her first semester by the skin of her teeth. The second semester was no better. A continuous combination of late nights and skipping class had resulted in her being dropped from two of her four classes.

She had come into their life after several failed pregnancies by his wife Rachel. Rachel howev
Never Meant to be His Where's the Fun in That
As Cheyenne drug herself out of bed, she couldn't help but think to herself how this better be worth it. Her dad had told her when she had first come home that if nothing else she could help with the paperwork in the office. She had originally declined his offer not wanting to be bored out of her mind but if she had plans of seducing Nick Griffin she had to put herself around him. He was at the office more than her dad. In fact, he was the one she was meeting with this morning.There was no set dress code for working at the office but Cheyenne had her own agenda so she dressed up for it. Tempted as she was Cheyenne forgo shorts for a pair of skinny jeans that hugged her every curve. The top she wore was a casual v neck that dipped down exposing just enough breast to catch someone's attention. She wore her wedge sandals to give her the height her small stature lacked. Her makeup was flawless, hair flowing, today's mission was to simply catch Nick’s eye and find out if he
Never Meant to be His Distractions
Cheyenne had managed to get all the papers filed before lunch and even had started updating some of the other files by the time Nick came to check on her. As he walked in she looked up at him, "you so owe me lunch now, maybe even dessert."Nick stopped by her desk looking down at her, "I suppose you do deserve to be rewarded." As she tilted her face up to his he let out a breath, he needed out of the office. "What do you want and I'll go pick it up."Cheyenne shrugged, "it's not like there are a lot of choices. I should have asked for a home-cooked meal."Nick laughed, "How about I surprise you?"Nodding as she looked back down at her paperwork she shrugged, "go for it but if it's nasty you never pick again.""Fair enough," he said before heading to his office to grab his keys.Cheyenne knew she had made him nervous earlier. Her outfit had worked like a charm. She had seen his eyes graze her body. Now she just needed to find out if she was g
Never Meant to be His Behave
Monday morning rolled back around and Nick felt a little better about being stuck all day in the office with Cheyenne. He had taken her advice and went out with a friend of his to get his mind off of her. It had worked for the most part but he was almost looking forward to seeing what new things Cheyenne had planned for him this week.Hearing the ding of the front door he looked up figuring she would walk in his door in something tight or low cut. When she didn't appear he frowned wondering if maybe she had given up on whatever plot she had cooked up in her head. He tried to get back to work but the fact that she hadn't come in to talk to him this morning bothered him. She came into his office every morning like clockwork.Getting up he told himself he was just going to pour some fresh coffee in his cup but he found himself leaving the break room and heading to the front. Cheyenne was at her desk with her head rested on her hands. Her hair covered her face so he couldn
Never Meant to be His No Need to Push
Nick walked into the office carrying a couple of pizza boxes. He had assumed Cheyenne would open the door for him like she usually did but she wasn't at her desk. Figuring she was either in the breakroom or the bathroom he headed on to the back to set the boxes down. Walking to the fridge he pulled out a soda popping the top cussing when he heard the phone ring.Stepping out into the hall to head to his office he found himself colliding with Cheyenne as she stepped out of the restroom. Out of instinct, he reached out to steady her even as her hands rested on his chest. The phone ringing started to sound more like alarms to Nick warning him of impending danger. One step back would break their contact but neither moved.Nick looked down at her, "Cheyenne..."She looked up at him closing her eyes as he ran his hand down her face, "I have to get the phone." Nodding she stepped back opening her eyes and watching him as he paused before walking past her.Cheyenne walke
Never Meant to be His Nobody Needs to Know
Cheyenne looked out the window watching the rain. It had been raining when she woke up and if that hadn't been bad enough she had a text from Nick telling her that with the rain some of the crews wouldn't go out today. He was going to help one of the crews with some problems they were having and wouldn't be in this morning. She had no clue if that meant he wasn't coming in till late or if he just wasn't coming in at all.As if the world knew she was at the office alone she had been slammed with phone calls, most of which she had no idea of what to tell them so she had to take messages and promise to call them back. She had considered going out for lunch but the way the driveway looked she would need a boat to get down the road. Hearing the phone ring again she sighed walking over to her desk and answering the phone. Rolling her eyes she heard the voice of somebody named Rebecca who had already called at least four times this morning. She had already told her that both Nick an
Never Meant to be His The Cabin
Setting a box down Cheyenne looked around at the cabin wondering if she might be better off at her parents. It was clear no one had stayed there in a while. It wasn’t dirty but the air had a staleness to it. The cabin needed to be aired out sooner rather than later if she had any hopes of sleeping there tonight.The cabin was rarely used anymore. Neither her dad nor Nick hunted much anymore. In fact, the cabin had turned into a storage building more than anything else. Cheyenne couldn’t deny the spot that it had been built on was beautiful especially in the fall.“It’s not that bad is it?” Ed asked walking in the door. “We can move these boxes to one of the bedrooms and you can have the other to yourself.”“Does it matter, like is one your’s, one Nick’s?” Cheyenne had to admit she would be far too amused to be able to tell Nick she had slept in his bed before she actually “slept “in hi

She was making a fool out of him and his business.Today however he couldn’t avoid her. Today she was sitting on the front porch steps waiting on him. Oh sure he could just back up and leave, refuse to talk to her but what kind of dad did that make him. He knew he had to face her eventually.As he approached her Cheyenne looked up and he could see the exhaustion all on her face. It was hard to be mad at her, she was his baby girl, but he was so disappointed in her. He had raised her to be so much better than this.Sitting down beside her he took a
Never Meant to be His Reactions
Cheyenne had been a nervous wreck when they made it to Nick's house. She knew Nick wasn't telling her the whole story and it bothered her. She was sure he was only protecting her but she didn't want to be protected. Left to her own thoughts she would make things ten times worse than they probably were. But what if what she was thinking wasn't bad enough?To keep busy she decided to cook dinner, maybe if she could get everyone to just sit down for a bit tempers would calm down. Nick didn't object

Never Meant to be His A Year Later
It had been over a year since Cheyenne had seen Nick. She rarely thought of him at all anymore. Not during the day anyway she thought of him every night. She dreamed of him most nights. Still, she had for the most part moved on.She had managed to make all A’s last semester helping to relieve some of the damage her first year had caused. School was almost a vacation for her. It was a way to fill her mind with anything but Nick. It had helped push his memory back and fill it with other facts.Cheyenne had casually dated a guy named Ryan for a few months. Nothing serious had ever come from it and they still hooked up from time to time. She had no feelings for him, he was only a means to an end that didn’t require any commitment.She had only gone home twice since she had left. Once for Thanksgiving and once for Christmas. Both times she came down and stayed two days leaving the first chance she could. Those times had been hard on her. She refused to leave the house a
Never Meant to be His Gone
She left on a Friday morning. Her car loaded down with her belongings headed back to Austin. The only thing she had left behind was her heart. Pulling out of town had been the hardest thing Cheyenne had ever had to do. She wished she still drank, she would have downed a shot of whiskey for the road.Things had been different after she and Nick had returned from his cabin on the lake. Both tried to prepare themselves for what was to come but there wasn't enough preparation in the world to help either of them.Cheyenne had spent every night but Thursday at Nick’s house.

One call from her and he had forgotten all about getting caught and went to her.Nick hadn't been able to handle her tears, he was horrible with tears. He usually just didn't care and lacked the correct response expected but with Cheyenne, he just wanted to stop them. He didn't want to be responsible for
Never Meant to be His Sunday Blues
When the sun rose Sunday morning it found Nick and Cheyenne up playing board games laughing. Neither was ready for the weekend to come to an end. They had already decided that they would wait until later to leave. They left in the dark, they would come back home in the dark. It only made sense. Besides they wanted to squeeze in as much time alone together as they could.They didn’t focus on any one conversation. Instead, their talks were random. Cheyenne told Nick things he had never known about her. She had opened up about her drinking and he began to understand her more than he had ever thought possible.Nick talked about what had lead up to his divorce, he took most of the blame but he admitted to her that it was a marriage that had been doomed from the start. He told her about the struggle of leaving his son behind and why he kept putting up with her crap.They discussed favorite foods, colors, movies, music, and so much more. They talked about everything. Well
Never Meant to be His Walk
Nick woke up finding the bed beside him empty. Cheyenne wasn’t a morning person so he knew there was a reason she was up out of bed before 7. Probably the same reason he didn’t get much sleep last night.Cheyenne had been unusually quiet last night. He had eventually gotten her to lighten up but she still wasn’t her normal self. She was still there but it was like the light inside her had burned out. Part of him had even considered asking her if she wanted a drink but he knew nothing good would come from that so he took her edge off the only other way he knew how.As he walked downstairs he smiled seeing her on the couch with a cup of coffee and the two dogs sitting on the couch beside her. Pausing her watched them, he watched her. Even this morning she had a note of sadness to her. He had racked his brain last night trying to come up with a solution but there wasn’t one.True enough there could be options but he didn’t want to thin
