right path. I'm really surprised that you took those items. You never take anything from Kitty or Madison. Nick sounds like a silver tongue talker.”
“Believe me, he is. He's such a nice guy too.”
“You thanked him and his parents for helping you with school?”
“Him, yes, but I haven't met his parents yet.”
“Okay, when you do, you know what to say,” she instructed me as she stood up. “Now, I'm going to get ready because I'm running late. Help yourself to breakfast. Love you, sweetie.”
“Love you too, Mom.”
She walked out of my room and closed the door. I glanced at the time. It was 7:45. I dropped on my bed and turned on Nick's phone. Almost immediately, several messages flashed on the screen. It took the inbox a few minutes to process the information. He had sixty-two messages from Allison and seventy-seven from other girls. Those bitches must really be desperate for Nick's large wiener! I didn't read the messages since I didn’t want to cross Nick's line of trust.
I unwillingly crawled out of my bed. I hated cold showers, but I needed one after my hot dream with Nick. After my shower, I made my way to the kitchen with Nick's phone in hand. I opened the box of Frosted Flakes and sat on the sofa to eat and watch television. Suddenly, Nick's phone lit up. It was Allison. Believe me, I wanted to pick up and tell her that Nick was off limits, but I thought of the consequences. Allison was not worth losing Nick's friendship. The phone stopped flashing. A few seconds later, it continued. It was like that for the next thirty minutes. You would think that anyone would get the message after the first few rings, but not Allison. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the front door and I quickly glanced at the clock. It was a quarter to nine. I knew that it wasn’t my mom and Nick said that he would call. I headed towards the front door thinking that it was Madison or Kitty since they always dropped by unexpectedly. I slowly opened the front door and peeped outside. It was Nick.
“Morning, John.”
“Nick? I thought you were going to call me first.”
“Yeah, but I knew that you were home so I dropped by.”
“Oh, I see,” I remarked as I examined him from head to toe.
Nick looked amazing in a white singlet and blue basketball shorts.
“Aren't you going to invite me in?”
“Oh, God! I'm so sorry! Please come in!”
Nick chuckled. He stepped into my house and looked around while I closed the door.
“This way,” I stated as I directed him into the living room. Nick followed me. He dropped his schoolbag on the floor while he sat down on one of the sofas. I sat next to him while I pointed out the obvious. “Make yourself at home.”
“I like this sofa. I could see myself relaxing here,” Nick admitted as he felt the fabric.
“Thanks. Here's your phone.”
“Thank you,” Nick replied as he took it from my hand. He began to search for something inside his schoolbag. “This is yours.”
He handed me an identical Blackberry phone.
“Nick, I can't take it.”
“Yes you can and you will. I need you to take it.”
“Why? I can't afford a cell phone plan.”
“Don't worry about that. They'll charge it to my credit card. I really need to keep in touch with you. What if I've got a question about homework or need to talk to you about my addiction?”
“Addiction?”
“My sex addiction,” he added with a smile. Nick looked at me seriously and continued. “You did promise me that you were going to help me tame the beast.”
I had to laugh. Nick was funny. Madison and Nick would definitely have good conversations.
“Okay, but I won't abuse your generosity.”
“Okay, but you do have unlimited texts, calls and web browsing.”
“Really?” I asked looking at the phone while he nodded and handed me the charger. “Thank you, Nickelodeon.”
“You're welcome, Johnny Cake. Now, get me a bowl of milk because that cereal looks great!”
I smiled and immediately headed to the kitchen.
“Believe me, he is. He's such a nice guy too.”
“You thanked him and his parents for helping you with school?”
“Him, yes, but I haven't met his parents yet.”
