“Niki and you still haven't answered my question." a small laugh escaped his lips. "I live with them for the moment, and since you're here I'm assuming she left you in charge?"She nodded staring at him intently as if she was able to read his mind, "Yeah, she'll be back in a week. Then assuming she'll leave again for the wedding." There was a silence as Adrian looked closely at her face,Glancing back towards the TV that was left on she walked into the living room allowing him to come inside taking a seat opposite to her. She didn't know why this guy made her feel this way but he did and that made her very nervous. "Last time I heard you were in New York, when did you come back?” He looked at her and smiled, “Did Nikikins miss me? If you would have told me to come back I would have, you know this.” She couldn't help it. He made her feel so strange and she didn't like it one bit. She scoffed before she responded. "I didn't miss you, honestly I forgot you even existed. What brings you back though?" She said as she crossed her arms and leaned further against the couch getting as comfortable as she can. "Really? Well if I believe you did. I moved back a few weeks ago. Things changed and boom here I am." She looked at him with a weary look. She knew better than to pry but that sad look in his eyes made her weak, weak enough to continue asking what she shouldn't, so she shrugged. "Think what you want, if anything Jan did. You never keep in touch." A guilty look passed his face before changing to a sad smile. “Sorry, I really wanted to keep in touch but it was hard, you know with work and relationships.” A lump stuck in her throat made it difficult for her to respond. She just nodded, glancing back at the movie playing in front of them. “What about you though, you never kept in touch either. So I'm not the only one to blame.” Niki glared at him, “I wasn't able to your right, and for that I'm sorry.” Adrian looked at her and gave her a small smile making Niki blush. "Aunt Niki?" Niki looked over to the opened door of her room, her eyes adjusting to find the kids looking back at her. "Aunt Niki me and Carol are hungry." Carlos said as he looked at Niki with his big brown eyes. Niki got up and yawned. "What time is it?" She looked over at the clock and yawned one more time. She got up and walked into the kitchen setting two bowls of cereal in front of them. Turning back around to start cooking breakfast, Adrian walked in with sleep still on his eyes. "Good Morning, how'd you sleep?" Niki smiled "Morning, good. How bout you?" Adrian nodded "Good thanks, could I get breakfast too?" She smiled nodding while turning back to the stove. Adrian pulled a set next to Carlos and sat down watching Niki as she moved around the kitchen. She looked back at Adrian and smiled" Is scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes good for you?" "Of course, thanks." Niki nodded placing plates in front of everyone. "Okay, here we go pancakes for the kids and some extra for you." After breakfast everything became normal as if they all lived together for a long time. Weeks went by fast and before she knew it she was on her way to back to Florida. She had forgotten bout Adrian until a few weeks later when he had shown up at her door step. From then on they were inseparable. They always were together, and they truly had fun with each other. Few months passed and a month later Adrian had shown up at her house and proposed to her. She loved him with all her heart, knowing that she smiled accepting the proposal. Tears formed in her eyes and she knew that she had made the right choice. Niki stood in the kitchen making use of a few pans as she cooked dinner that night. Adrian had stepped behind her wrapping his arms around her. "You know, I never thought we would be like this." "What do you mean?" Adrian smiled before responding "I always loved you, ever since before I moved away." Niki looked at him with surprise "Really? Why didn't you tell me?" Adrian smiled hiding his face between the crook of her neck. "I was afraid that you would reject me and never want to see me again." His voice was muffled but she could understand every word he said. Niki chuckled turning her head slightly to give a slight kiss to his forehead. "Silly, I've loved you since then too. You know how bad it hurt when you moved away? I didn't want you to leave me but you did." She turned and looked at Adrian, only to see a sad expression on his face. "Don't worry now, we here. We're together and we're getting married." "Your right, it doesn't matter. You're here with me now." "Definitely, that day back then when you left is just a regretted decision."
