Alpha Emmett and the special one

chapter 3

4 days later..

Nicole's POV:

It’s a Friday, so we only work half days, which is nice. The day escaped from me, and before I knew it i was back home, and yet again Mitch out did himself. He put savanna’s room together. I've always lived out of boxes, so for me to have my whole 400 Sq ft apartment unpacked, and throwing away 10 boxes of crap i didn't need. Is hard. Growing up we were always moving, and struggled to find boxes to help us move. Some say it's just me overthinking but I think it's just more fear. Fear that i’ll have to pack up again, and we’ll have to leave. I’m already stressing about how I'm going to pay all my bills, especially daycare. 

He looked me in the eyes, with a kind smile “what time does Savanna get picked up from school?”

“She gets out at 2:50 PM, it's a 15 minute drive, so we can leave at about 2:25-ish..”

He nods. You could tell he was thinking. “So savannas dad Tyler will pick her up around 5pm?”

“Yup, and then we’re free to do whatever..”

He stutters a bit. “..Well can we go to my place, my roommates wont bite, i can’t guarantee i won’t though”

I smiled at his ‘attempt at being funny’ ”..I suppose, but i need bananas, i’m getting charlie horses, like crazy..”

He grabs his keys “Let's go grab savanna; there's a grocery store next to my place”. I nodded “What do you have in mind for dinner tonight?” he smirked at me “Besides me…haha”

He laughs it off “...I was thinking about doing v*****s” I straight looked at him like what the f**k did you just say, and he laughed “Umm.. Mitch this isn’t no ed gein shit..”

“Calm down Nicole… I’m just being funny, we’re having fajitas, but I'm calling them va-jitas now..” …Literally the whole way to savannas school he kept saying va-jitas. I’ve never wanted to shove a gag ball down somebody’s throat so much in my life haha. 

A few hours passed by, and her dad was on his way over from work to grab savanna. Mitch and I spent a few hours going through the last few boxes, a lot of it was my soon to be ex-husbands stuff. So it was perfect timing. I told  Mitch I didn't want any drama to start when he showed up, and he said he was gonna hang out in the kitchen, until he leaves. I said ok, I just didn’t want any fights. I hate confrontation, I avoid it as much as possible. But being a Saggitarius, I tend to hold my anger in (which i know isn’t good.. Buttt….) when I explode it’s just best to stay away from me. Then when I'm ready I'll come talk to you. 

So my ex Tyler comes over, and I hand him a tub of all his s**t. He tried talking to me, and I just didn't care. He seemed pissed that I had my s**t together; like he thought I was going to fail as a single mom. Well not single anymore. But I had my apartment together, he tried cracking jokes or making conversations. I just didn't want to talk to him, especially with Mitch in the other room. 

Tyler looks me up and down. “So what time on Sunday are we exchanging Savanna?

I am thinking cautiously. Because whatever I say he’ll hold against me. “I’m Not sure, i’m getting together with some friends for a UFC Fight, so i’ll let you know after the fight”

He huffs annoyed. “Whatever… Lets go savanna”

Savanna looks up at me with a smile “Bye mommy, i love you!” I smiled at her, “I'll miss you too!”

Tyler, and savanna take off. I looked at Mitch, as he walked around the corner from the kitchen. Mitch looked at me shaking his head “Can i throat punch him, he has no business talking down to you like that”. 

I just smiled, and rolled my eyes. “I would love to punch him, but orange doesn't look good on me or you.. Soo ?…

Mitch insisted on taking his Audi, which I was fine with. But I seriously think this man has more Lead foot than I do haha. It was a 30 minute drive from Oregon City to Vancouver. But with his driving We’ll be there in 5 minutes haha. We stopped at the grocery store by his house, got the stuff we needed for dinner, and my bananas of course. I don't know what my problem is, but these charlie horses are straight up bullshit! …I’ll be damned if I have another charlie horse while having morse code against the wall. No kiddo’s which means I can be as loud, and messy as I want. Minus his 3 roommates. That thought alone brought my anxiety on, I felt Mitch grab my hand. “It’ll be okay babe, they’re really nice; you’ll like their girlfriends”.

We showed up to his place. It was a really nice house. Two stories, light gray with white trim on the outside. Walking in there were roman pillars along the cabinets and by the back door. I fell in love with this house. I felt comfortable until the owner walked in, and my vibes were all over the place. I figured it was just the nerves, so I kept pushing the gut feelings away.

Everyone was super nice. I found out they all work for the same company, which would be convenient for carpooling. 

Mitch has 3 roommates and they all have girlfriends, except the owner of the house Jon, he likes to get around. Can never stick to the same girl. But what he wants he gets i suppose. Jose chips in “we can now have our war, are ya’ll up for it tonight?” ..War what war? What the f**k is he talking about? Mitch smirks at me “basically, it's a moaning war”. My eyes pierce open “Like a gang bang s**t?” ..What the f**k did i get myself into.. They really need to fix the background check websites… Dear f*****g Lord! Mitch starts to laugh “ugh No!... Basically every couple has s*x in their own room, obviously. But the war is to see who can be the loudest, no fake s**t!” I started laughing, everyone started looking at me “ohh.. Y'all are serious aren’t you..” Mitch started shaking his lead smiling “We don't have to babe..” I smiled at him; “I don't’ back down from a challenge, you might but i don't”. Jose throws his arms up in there, “We’re having a  war tonight!!”
