Once up on an Us A kiss by the pond
"What if I'm the one for you? And you're the one for me?’’ Nick said.I tilted my head to the left. "What?""If you are the one, then us meeting here is fate."I felt confused at what he was talking about."Buy a house with a fireplace. This is the first I've seen your face, but there's a chance we are soulmates. I know this might sound crazy.""Nick, are you ok?" I almost stuttered.But he continued talking like he couldn't hear me."But we can't. We can't tell the future, no. But that's just the beauty of the world we know.""Ok then." I rolled my eyes."Sorry, it's the song that's playing." Nick finally said."Oh.""Yeah, I like it.""I wasn't really paying attention to the songs being played."Nick’s eyes widen. ‘’Are you for real? They have a great play list.""I have a million things on my mind to pay attention to music.""I'm sure you do, or maybe you just don't appreciate fine art.""Did you ask me out here to insult me? Because there are so much other people that could do it.
Last Updated : 2022-06-03Once up on an Us Old house
The morning after punching Alba, I made my way to the house I once lived in.It was difficult going back there. I must have driven past the house a total of seven times before finally parking.I just hope no one thought I'm some sort of pervert.I looked up at the imposing building.Even after fourteen years, it was still the same. The same red and white brick, four stories mansion, with French windows and hardwood floor.I pushed the door open. It made a creaking sound. A sign that no one had been there in for so long.I inhaled the musty air as I looked around. Memories from the past came flooding in, as if it all happened yesterday instead of years ago.I still didn’t know what to do with this place, not knowing if I should sell it or not.I sighed. I won't lie. I missed this place, yet at the same time, the memories were just too much to bear.I walked around, running my fingers along the old, dusty walls.I closed my eyes, remembering the laughter we used to have, the parties and
Last Updated : 2022-06-03Once up on an Us Solitude
I was in the confides of my home, but I wouldn't call it solitary or peace, because this felt far from either. It was more like a prison of the mind, with me ghosting everyone, ignoring all my texts and calls.I was all cooped up in my loft for six days now, crying and feeling sorry for myself.I didn't eat or shower. I just lay on the sofa.I felt numb. It felt as if I was going insane, and with each passing day, it was pushing me more and more to calling my psychiatrist.I missed Nick more than anyone could ever imagine, but with all that was going on, I'm slowly giving up.It was obvious that he was too caught up with Alba. They were like magnets. Wherever he went, she was there to follow, and vice versa.Even though Nessa and the others tried to reassure me that whatever he had with Alba was in the past, it wasn't like that for either of them.Nick's memories were in the past, to him they were still together, and that delusional girl had him eating out of her palms.But they can s

I avoid Nick's eyes as we sat across from each other.He didn't greet me; I didn’t greet him either or even tried to make conversation. We just sat there in awkward silence.I didn't even know why I was there, because after seeing him, I should have left.But yet here I sat at the table waiting for Christenna to come.Nick was smiling at his phone the entire time while I played with my chipped nails.I managed to catch a glimpse of who he was texting, and it was no other than Alba.Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised.I moved on to playing with the rubber band around my wrist, stretching it, then letting it snap against my skin. I did the action several times, ignoring the sting because my anxiety was rising.Nick must have realised, because he finally took his nose out of his phone to glance at me.By then, I was doing the same to my other wrist."Doesn't that hurt?" He pointed.I looked down at my now red and blistered skin. I slowly pulled my hands off the table, only to continue m
Last Updated : 2022-06-03Once up on an Us A date?
I couldn't step through the door fast enough before I removed my clothes. I felt icky from a busy day of selling houses and going by the boutique to update the styles.A knock sounded on the front door, causing me to stop fondling with my earrings to see who it was.I paused to look down at my attire, thinking that my black spaghetti strap blouse and half zipped black skit will have to do.I opened the door, shocked to see Nick, leaning with one hand on the doorjamb."Hey," I let out in a daze.He was dressed in full black. Wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, a tight black pants, black shoes, and a single gold chain around his neck. Looking like the Nick I was used to."Hey," he smiled that heart-stopping smile I loved so much."Do you want to come in?""Sure."I stepped aside to let him pass me."What are you doing here?""I was wondering if you would like to go on a date wi- with me?" He said nervously."A date?""Yes, you know. Just two people going out.""Oh, ok, sure. Let me go t

I didn't know how it happened, but all I know was that Nick was on top of me, staring down at my naked form, while I watched him, assessing his next move."Nick." I said softly, coaxing him to carry on.His fingers brushed gently across my neck. I knew exactly what he was about to do, and I welcomed it.He lightly sent kisses from my neck to my jaw, and back again.He did this a few more times in a teasing manner, then trailed kisses from my breasts to my stomach, where he dipped his tongue in my naval.I gasped as the sensation sent me into a frenzy. I curled my toes, wanting to beg him to take me, but at the same time I didn't want to rush him.I wanted this moment to last for as long as it could. This was something I wanted and longed for.His lips brushed against my stomach once more as he moved lower. His teeth nipped at my inner thigh, receiving another gasp from me.And in his teasing state, he moved back up to my lips, where he kissed me gently, then bit my lower lip.He gave

After both of us calmed down and got over the awkwardness, Nick looked around."What do we normally do?""Work, if not, we talk. Go on dates, play games or just cuddle.""That's it?""It is much better than it sounds.""And you play video games?""Yes, you thought I got the gaming system for you, but really I got it for myself because one player games is just no fun."Nick laughed, "that's smart.""Are you going to stay?" I asked, not meeting his eyes."I meant it when I said I want to try, because as much as I try to pretend or act as if- I can't help but think that there is something about you. You are truly amazing and beautiful. I know that if anyone else was in your place, they would have given up already.""I don't want to give up on you so easily, no matter how badly I wanted to. I kept telling self that you will remember me and things will get back to how they were."Nick gave me a small smile."Even if I can't remember you, I would rather to be here."I shook my head, because

I stood in my closet, thinking of what to wear, only to settle for a very short and sexy, backless wine red dress. It had a plunging neckline and a long split that went up to my hip.I left my hair down in curls, with only silver clips at the sides to keep it out of my face.I didn't bother to wear makeup, in wanting to show off my natural beauty.I left the house after putting on my chunky red heels to go in search of the perfect gift for Christenna.I soon found myself outside a jewellery store."Welcome." The man smiled at me.’’Hello, I am in a bit of a rush, but want a necklace and earrings that would make the perfect wedding gift.""Right this way."I followed behind him to a well lit area, where he went behind the counter."This set just arrived. It is the only timeless collection that we have from Solitaire. I know that these are a little more to it than you asked for, but it is the perfect example of elegance." He took out the set to show me.“The necklace comes in a layer of

Once up on an Us New vows/The end
Just as I twisted my curly hair in the clip, Nessa's phone alarmed."Two minutes, then it is your time to walk down the aisle again." Nessa said.She came to hold me at arm's length, then hugged me."Feels like there is something between us," I joked."There is." She patted her four months stomach."Give them hell." I stoop down so I speak to her stomach."He already is, all the morning sickness. Mood swings and always sleeping. I miss eating bacon." Nessa began to cry.I allowed her the moment because I knew that it was just the hormones.Soon she was smiling at me again."Finish getting ready. I'll go call Lorain," she told me.I slipped into my white heals, then knotted my diamond studded tiara in my hair."Looking lovely," Lorain said, coming into the room. Complementing my simple mermaid dress.She picked up my flowers and hand it to me."Ready to give you away, Mrs Carter." She smiled.We walked down the aisle.When I didn't hear any crying, I looked at my left to see Mia and El
Once up on an Us It's time
Due to some setbacks, Nick and I weren't able to move into our new house until I was almost due.And even though we were moving in, he didn't want me to lift a hand. So, I used my finger to instruct them on where the movers and our friends should put what."No, that glass table belongs in the living room. It goes in the middle. Does anyone not have vision?"I sighed, then sat on the sofa that was facing the fireplace that was below the TV."So we don't place the sofas in a straight line?" Jackson asked."No, this one faces the fireplace. While the other two face each other."Seeing that no one was placing the vases on the shelves that were on either side of the fireplace, I got up and made my way over to the boxes.I struggled to bend forward, while trying to bend sideways didn't work either.I puffed up my cheeks, trying to think of a way to get what was inside the boxes. I knew that if I should stoop down, I might not be able to get back up."What do you think you are doing?" I span
Once up on an Us Baby shower
Nick came home early from work. He and his team were already halfway through with building our home."Hey you." He came over to kiss my forehead. "How are my girls?" He then kissed my stomach."Where is everybody?""Out back." I pointed with a chicken tender.I then dipped it in the honey-barbecue sauce that was sitting on my six months belly.Even though my baby shower was set to start in less than three hours, I was sitting in the living room eating junk food and pickles while using my stomach as a table because no one wanted me to do anything.They all were treating me as if I had suddenly become disabled.Shortly after, Nick came back with Jackson stirring him by the shoulders."You two just sit tight while we do all the work." He told Nick.I laughed at the look on my husband's face."Maybe massage her feet. I'm sure they are swollen." Jackson picked up a random bottle and threw it at Nick.Even though it was lubricant, it was for a different reason.With a cheeky smile, I placed

"Can I just take the blind food off? This is giving me anxiety." I asked."Not yet, just ten more minutes and I'll show you."I could feel the car coming to a stop, Nick getting out, then him coming around my side of the car."Ok, just trust me." He said, taking my hand.Instead of making me walk, Nick allowed me to climb on his back. After walking for a while, he stopped and place me on my feet."Ok, you can take the blindfold off."When I did, I noticed we were standing in a big open land."This is where our house will be." Nick grinned.I did a three sixty spin, to get a full view."So, it is a little bigger than I thought. The owner doesn't want it anymore and is willing to take any money from it, as long as I build a home. What do you think?""Have you done a survey to see what was wrong?""Nothing is wrong, just that there is a cliff at the back. But it is perfect otherwise.""And he is willing to take anything for it?""I mean, he is my uncle. So, yes.""I was also thinking tha

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Nessa said as Enzo applied her makeup."Look up,'' Enzo instructed."I hope you are not planning to run.""No, I can now say that I love him and if I should ever do that, I'm sure Rickie would cry.""Please smack your lips together?"After her makeup was set, I helped to zip her up into her mint-green and white dress, which I made exclusively for her.With its sweetheart neckline, and long flowing sheer skirting. I have to say that the dress represented her well."Time for the final touch."I stuck the flower crown in her hair, then let my hand rest on her shoulders."You look so beautiful," I told her.Nessa blinked back tears."Don't make me cry. You know I won't be able to stop." She tried to laugh.I gave her a hug, making sure to not smudge her makeup."I just wish daddy was here to see this.""Oh Nessa. I'm sure that he is smiling down at his baby girl."She dabbed at her eyes."I know, thank you Reign. I couldn't have asked for a better friend.
Once up on an Us Happy news
I was glad when the Dr Lynch said Nick could go home, but what made me even happier was that he remembered, he truly remembered.I couldn't help my smile as we left the hospital.I noticed Nick putting on his seat belt without me telling him to."I will never not wear this again," he said.I reached over to kiss him."You better, or else I will kill you myself."Nick gave a nervous chuckle. "I believe you."Before I could drive away, I saw Alba coming out of the hospital."What are you going to do about them?""I won't say anything to my sister, that's for sure. I don't see the reason for breaking up what she and Johnathan have because, from what Alba said, the two of them slept together before he and Christenna were together. As for my mother. Well, she just reminds me of why I left home, it had aways been her. And now she has no one because of her ways."I held his hand."Just know that no matter what happens, I will always be here for you."''I know, thank you."When we got home, t
Once up on an Us He remembers
By sometime after midnight, I got a call from the hospital, but all I could do was think about all the worst things, because I knew you only get bad news at this time.I took up the bag I had prepared for Nick, and as I drove to the hospital, I held my breath.I wasn't counting on him remembering who I was, even though the nurse on the phone assured me that everything was fine. But that was what they told me the first time, that he was ok when he wasn't.When I got to the hospital, I sat in the car for a while. My hands were shaking, and it felt as if I would pass out myself.I eventually built up the courage to go inside. I had to take deep breaths to carry on."Hi, I'm here to see Nicholas Carter.'' I said to the male at the reception."And you are?""His wife, Royal-Reign Belmont-Carter." I rushed.His eyes widen. "No freaking way. My fiancé is obsessed with your designs. I'm here putting in the extra hours so I can afford the dress she wants.""Oh, hmm. Congrats.""Yeah, your husb

Christenna took her husband's hand in her. "Well, Johnny. Looks like you will never be coming back here when our honeymoon is over. I wouldn't want my mother to try and kill you or get me pregnant in my sleep."They both get up, but neither made a move to leave.Michael was on his phone making calls."You will be hearing from my lawyer Gloria-Lyn, and so will you Alba." Mr Carter got up to walk out of the dining room.Nick stopped him. "Dad, even though I have no memory of that day, I want to apologise for holding a grudge against you."Mr Carter pulled him into a hug."Son, I have no hate for you. I never understood why you left so suddenly until I was fed lies by your mother. She told me you left because you went to Africa." Mr Carter then laughed. "I was just a gullible fool for believing her, not knowing she used my name."Micheal turned hateful eyes to his mother. “That's all you do. Tell lies. I went to see Sabrina after she had my son. When I asked you who the child really belo

"Oh, for the love of God," Michael said, then got up from the table.Alba huffed, but didn't fully enter the dining room."Did you request my presence?" She asked."Yes, that lie you told on me. I wish for you to clear my name," Mr Carter said, cutting into his pancake."Oh, that. See, I was drunk and my mouth just said what my drunken brain told it to.""A drunk mind always reveals a sober mind," I piped up. "And you wishing for Nick's death and our divorce clearly isn't something you came up with on the spot.""I was about to say the same thing. At first, mother was fine with what you had to say until the end of your statement. If I didn't know any better, that push was meant to either kill you or knock you out." Christenna said. "My reception was a shit show because of you." She added.Alba touched her forehead where a welt was. "Take it up with your mother.""This has much to do with you as it does with me," Mrs Carter said.Mr Carter hit his hand on the table. "Enough of the back
