All Chapters of Never Meant to be His: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

It was an unspoken agreement. They both knew that sex was the only possible outcome after their talk. If they were completely honest they would admit it was the only thing they really wanted now anyway. Both knew that they had accomplished nothing in their talk. They had avoided all the issues they needed to talk about but neither cared. Their bodies craved the other and who were they to deny what they both needed the most. As Nick locked the house down and made sure the dogs were settled in Cheyenne walked to his bedroom. Walking in she removed his borrowed clothes and crawled in the bed naked enjoying the feel of his cool sheets on her body. Shaking her hair free she let it fall between her shoulders in the front to cover her breast as she sat back against his headboard and awaited him. Her nerves were getting the best of her even though she had no idea why. At least she pretended not to know why.Nick walked into his room pausing as he saw her. He felt as if h

Cheyenne laid her head on the kitchen counter covering it up with her hands. “Mom, omg please give me a break.”Rachel had been harping on her ever since she had walked in the front door. With Tate at Nick’s again this weekend she was trying to show her mom she wasn’t out doing stupid things. Well, not the stupid things she assumed Cheyenne was doing. They were supposed to be having a girls' night. Movies, popcorn, way too much Dr. Pepper but instead they were in the kitchen arguing.Rachel sighed, “Cheyenne, I’m really not trying to be mean. I love you and I worry about you. Your dad tells me to stop hovering but I’m so afraid I’m going to get a call in the middle of the night that you are dead in a ditch somewhere.”Cheyenne looked up frowning, “mom I’ve not even had a thing to drink all day.” She wanted to add but Jesus you are making me regret that decision. After her last drunken night

Things were never the same after their conversation. Nick could practically see Cheyenne pulling away from him. It was what he wanted and at the same time the last thing he wanted. She still stayed with him every night. Still clung to him at night but it wasn't the Cheyenne he had fallen for. This Cheyenne was more reserved, quiet, a shell of the girl she once was.Nick stood in the doorway of his office watching as she sat at her desk typing something up on her computer. He had offered to go get her something to eat before he had to step out for a bit but she insisted she was fine. Sighing he closed his eyes, had he successfully pushed her away?He had never expected her to walk into his life. Walk was definitely not the word for what she had done. She had broken down some walls he had put up that he didn't even know was breakable. This little girl, for that's all she really was, managed to turn his life upside down and shake it up enough that no matter how hard he tr

Cheyenne woke up the next morning smiling as she saw Nick stretched out beside her. He wasn’t asleep but propped up on his pillows watching tv. As she moved to lay her head on his chest he wrapped his arm around her. Stretching she snuggled up closer to him not wanting to get up.She couldn’t help but think this would never happen again after this weekend. Sure she would have a few more nights with him but not nights like this. Not peaceful ones. Waking up beside him felt good, it felt comfortable, it felt right. Closing her eyes Cheyenne listened to his heart, learning its rhythm. It made her peaceful.Nick’s hand ran up and down her back making small circles. He would never admit it but when he first woke up he had just watched her sleep. Cheyenne was peaceful when she slept and he found himself fascinated by her. Not that he wasn’t always but there was just something relaxing in watching her sleep.This weekend could go either way. The

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
