Chapter 10

He pulled away, his head jerking slightly as he felt his phone vibrate. He blinked twice before he realized that, and quickly pulled it out, flipping it open and walking towards the other side of the room. He said something, nodded his head and shut it, shoving it back in the pocket.

“I gotta go.”

“Terri?”

“Yeah. I’ll catch you tomorrow.” With that, he quickly left. I ran my hand through my hair, wondering, just what the hell I was doing. There was no denying that I loved Nick, everyone knew this and everyone could see it. I was almost sure that’s why Terri put the act on that she did. And maybe she did have cause to put it on; after all, my idea was to seduce Nick. But, even though I knew he felt something for me, it was killing him. And that last thing I ever wanted was for him to be hurt. But, than again, I hadn’t done much so far in the way of seducing. So, I bought some new clothes, changed myself a bit, that was it. You couldn’t call that seducing him could you? I hadn’t really touched him or kissed him, flirted..eh, not really.

I sat back down on the couch, more than confused. Nick, prior to the divorce, had asked me to change. And I knew when he and Terri hooked up; it was the time that I went into a serve depression. What man could tolerate that on top of all the other stress he had? So, I could partly be to blame. But when I came out of it, things with Terri were already pretty strong. And it was a week after that that he told me he wanted a divorce. I suppose, within that week, he wanted to see the change. He wanted me, on some strange level to be like Terri, or even to out do Terri. But that wasn’t me, or at least, at that time, it wasn’t me. Nick had fallen in love with me, why did I need to change that? But, of course, things change, people change, and he had changed, yet I hadn’t. I stayed the same! And because of that, I lost the man I loved. And here I was, changed. Not like Terri, but like Theresa, the new and improved Theresa. And I was comfortable with new me. And, I was confused. I shook my head, walking into my room, knowing that it might just be another sleepless night.




“Boss lady, copy?” I pressed the side button on the phone, walking around the front of the stage.

“What’s up Dave?”

“Are you busy?”

“I’m at the arena. Why, what’s wrong?”

“Well, I shouldn’t squeal on my man here…”

“Dave?”

“The twins are with him.”

“Yes, I’m aware. He was coming with them on their way to the sound check. Than I was going to take them. Why, what’s wrong?”

“They ran out of his room to bang on Bri’s door, saying they hated their dad. Any reason why?”

“To be honest, no. But you can bet your ass I’ll find out.”

“Theresa, I don’t want him in trouble.”

“Dave, you report to me, not him. Out!” With that, I shoved the phone into my back pocket, walked out to the awaiting car and told him to take me back to the hotel. Damn, if it pertained to little miss bitchy, heads were gonna roll!




I banged on his door, crossing my arms as I waited for him to open the door, which was taking one hell of a long ass time. He finally managed to open it, my eyes taking in his lack of attire, or, rather just the jeans he quickly pulled on. I stormed past him, glaring at him as I stopped.

“Well, why not come on in.”

“What happened?”

“With?”

“The kids! Why are they with Bri and not you?”

“Brian wanted them.”

“Carter, don’t you lie to me. I’m not that stupid. What the hell happened?”

“Nothing that I can’t manage!”

“Please tell me you weren’t screwing her when my kids were around.”

“They’re my kids too!”

“Son of a bitch, Nick! You were! What the hell were you thinking? Screw that, I know all too well. I can’t believe you!”

“He has his right to do that.” I spun around and glared at her.

“You have no right to butt into this conversation. So, save your hide and go back into that room!”

“You can’t talk to me like that in my hotel room. Who the hell do you think you are?” I took a step closer and felt Nick grab my arm.

“Terri, let me handle this!”

“Oh, yeah, I can see the way you handle things! Please Theresa, make sure she’s happy, but screw your girlfriend, right?”

“I believe he already did!” Terri glared at me before she turned on her heel, marched back to the bedroom and slammed the door. I yanked my arm out of his grasp. “Don’t touch me. I won’t leave them again with you!”

“It’s not as bad as your making it seem!”

“Let me see if I have it, hmm? You three were in here, Terri got ticked, kinda turned you on, and you dissed your kids to get laid. But, when you went into the room, they probably got maybe worried, knocked on the door and you yelled? Does that about sum it up?” He didn’t have to nod, his look said it all. “I know you. I know how she works. That right there pisses me off. She’s more important to you than your kids! You needed to get laid that badly!”

“It’s not like that!”

“It’s not? Wow, it sure looks like it to me! Forget it! I was wrong, you can be a jackass, and Terri is the cause of it. Why can’t you see what the hell she’s doing to you?”

“Doing? She’s loving me like you never could!” My eyes opened wide and my hand flew out, the smack sounding through out the room.

“Mommy?” I froze in my tracks, not wanting to look at the kids who were standing at the door.
