We meet Again

Chapter 2:

Nina's POV:

"MOMMMYYYY!" yelled Alek.

I groaned and sat up.

"What?" I whined.

"Someone's on the phone for you!" he yelled. I got up out of bed to find him in the living room watching Fanboy and Chum Chum.

He gave the phone to me.

"It's a lady," he said.

"Hello?" I spoke into the phone.

"OMG NINA, IT'S REALLY YOU!" yelled someone from the phone.

"And who am I speaking to?" I asked.

"Amber Millington-Lewis, of course! Remember me? From high school?" she yelled.

"Oh. Hi, Amber."

"I heard you just moved here! Wanna come meet me for lunch so we could catch up?"

"Sure," I said. Then, she gave me the name of the restaurant. I quickly got Claire and Alek dressed.

Claire is like an exact copy of me. Slim and small for her age, and the same wavy hair and blue-gray eyes. Except her hair is much shorter than my hair. Claire's hair is to her shoulders.

Alek is a whole another story. He has his father's deep blue eyes and brown hair. His hair was always messy.

I got dressed in simple skinny jeans and a green blouse. I just brushed my hair out and left it down. I barely wear any makeup, so I didn't put any on.

***At the restaurant***

I walked in holding the twins' hands. I spotted Amber and a blonde little boy with blue eyes sitting next to her.

"Hey," I said, sitting down, and putting the twins next to me.

The little blonde boy looked about seven.

"Hey, Nina!" Amber said, getting up and hugged me, which I returned.

When we sat down I asked, "Is he yours?" pointing to the little boy.

"No," Amber said shaking her head. "That's my nephew, Brandon."

"Nice to meet you, Brandon," I said, shaking his hand.

"You, too," he said. This boy had manners.

"But, I'm assuming these are yours, am I right?" she asked, referring to Claire and Alek.

"Yeah," I said.

"Who's the daddy?" Amber asked. "Fabian?"

That made my blood run cold. I didn't say anything.

"My Daddy's name is Nick," Alek said, saving me.

"Yeah," Claire piped up.

"Yeah. Not Fabian. We broke up in high school, Amber. But I'd rather not talk about him even though I have moved on. Nick… He was special, unlike anyone else in the whole world. He was the only one who go me…" I said, looking down.

"I'm so sorry, Nina…"

"No, it's okay. I was getting a little corny there. But I guess I just miss Nick. I was once Mrs. Nick Johnson. But I can't go back to him. I just can't…" I didn't realize I was that sad until I felt a hot tear run down my cheek.

"It's okay, Nina."

I nodded, wiping my eyes and trying to convince myself that everything will be okay.

"My name is Steven and I'll be your waiter today. What would you guys like to order?" said the waiter. We ordered our food and enjoyed the rest of our time together.

***Later at the park***

Amber and I decided to take the kids to the park. Claire and Alek were enjoying themselves playing with Brandon. He's actually a really nice and talented person.

Amber and I sat down on a bench and watched the kids play.

"So… You got any kids?" I asked Amber.

"No… But I'm three months pregnant. I hope it's a girl!" Amber went on talking about how she hopes that she could spoil it and such.

While I was nodding my head, and agreeing with whatever she said, my mind kept drifting to my neighbour that had shown up yesterday. He looked so familiar.

Suddenly I heard screaming, and my head snapped away from Amber and my thoughts.

Apparently, Claire had hurt herself somehow. I didn't have enough time to get up and react before a man picked her up and shushed her and made her stop crying.

Now that's when I got alarmed enough to get up and run.

"What do you think you're doing with my daughter?" I asked. The man quickly turned around, and it turned out he was my neighbour.

"Oh… uh sorry, she was just crying and it looked like she hurt herself, so…" he trailed.

"Thanks, but you scared me," I said, before going grab Alek by the hand and walking back to Amber.

"What was that? Why didn't you say hello to him?" Amber asked anxiously.

"Oh, that big strong man who picked up Claire? That's my neighbour," I said.

Amber's POV:

I looked Nina over skeptically. I was wondering if she knew who he was. I decided not to tell her, because she had dealt with enough today. I will let them figure out on their own.

"Well, I've got to get back to my apartment, now," Nina's voice dripped with American accent. "Text ya later, girlie." Then she walked away leaving me alone with Brandon.

***Later after Amber dropped Brandon off at home***

When I walked in my house, I knew something was wrong. It was quiet. Too quiet. And plus, something was burning.

I walked into the kitchen to see Alfie passed out on the floor, and something that looked like charcoal in the toaster. Welcome to my life.
