"Sorry Steph but I won't be in today I'm not feeling all that good today" 

"Talk about leaving it to the last minute Roman, you do realise you had a meeting today at 10"

"I'm sorry alright but can you take the meeting, I will be in tomorrow so you can bring me up to speed"

"Fair enough... I'll see you tomorrow"

Throwing the phone to the side, beer cans spread across the coffee table some on the floor, the weekend had gone by in blur just sitting, drinking and feeling sorry for myself, I got up walking in to the kitchen seeing more beer cans on the kitchen counter Nikki would flip if she walked through the door now and seen this.

I needed a shower so I walked upstairs I walked in to the bedroom everywhere I turned it just reminded me of her, pictures of her, the décor everything had her touch to it, In the bathroom I looked in the mirror I haven't shaved since she left so I got my full beard back

I stepped in to the shower letting the hot water run down my back I leant my head against the tile thinking about how she would just walk in I didn't mind at and sometime she would even join which was even better, I miss her

After 20 minutes I stepped out of the shower, I wrapped the toel round my waist while I searched for something to wear I found a pair of sweats and just a plain white shirt so I just put them on I wasn't going anywhere really, I sat on the edge just thinking about where she could be 

Knock Knock 

"What"

I shouted in frustration as I walked downstairs to open the front door I wasn't in the mood for visitors, I opened the door 

"Mom! what are you doing here ?"

My parents had been away for a couple of weeks so obviously they won't know about me and Nikki 

"Why aren't you at work? and where's Nicole?"

"I called in sick and Nikki ain't here"

"She's got to be here she isn't at work and I have tried calling her but she is not picking up, I wanted to talk to her about flowers for the Wedding"

She walked past me in to the house I shut the door behind her 

"Maybe its a good thing she is not here it looks like a bomb as hit this place, have the two of you had a fight and she's walked out and you have decided to drown your sorrow all weekend"

"Your right about me drowning my sorrows because she's left me"

I walked in to the kitchen and sat one of the stools beside the counter my mom walked placing the wedding magazines on the counter

"What! When?"

"Over a week ago and before you ask I have no idea where she is, she won't answer my calls her"

"You know what I knew this would happen as soon as your father handed you that business it was only a matter of time, all those size 10 models walking about your just like your dad he couldn't keep it in his pants either, what were you thinking? you had a beautiful women who would in few months times would have been your wife"

"Do you not think I'm regretting it? I regret it everyday I've lost the love of my life and I have got nobody to blame but myself"

"I can actually put some onto your Dad if he didn't give you the business none of this would be happening and Nikki would still be here"

"You talked about Dad doing it all those years ago if he hurt you that badly why did you stay with him?"

"I did leave him for a while but something made me give him a second chance... you while I was away from him I found out I was pregnant with you, I spoke to friends and my parents and I thought would a baby really change his ways and it did he never done it again"

"What if she doesn't come back? what am I supposed to do?"

"You just need to give her time son she'll come back and when she does you have got to prove that she is everything to you"

She walked up to me giving me a hug, I didn't know that my dad did that I guess she didn't want me to see him in a different light, I am just hoping now Nikki does come so I can make so I can make it up to her and show her she is the most important person In my life.
