In Love, Never Say Never

Rather than going to Macy’s old place, he brought me to a different block. He carried my luggage into the elevator for me as he said, “The houses here aren’t as big as Peakville Estate’s, but it has a great environment and it’s better for Summer.”

I nodded. I was feeling nervous and pressured for some reason which Jackson probably spotted. He patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t be nervous. Summer is a good kid and doesn’t give us any trouble.”

I pressed my lips together and nodded but still felt nervous.

My hands were damp with sweat by the time we reached the door. He pressed the doorbell and Nick opened the door dressed in an apron with a baby bottle in hand.

I paused, not knowing what exactly I was feeling at the moment. Nick, however, was calmer than ever at the sight of me. “You’re here. Come in, the food is getting cold,” he said.

Jackson said to me, “You can go wash your hands first and take a look at the kid before you eat.”

He placed my luggage in a room and said, “You can stay with us while you’re here.”

I didn’t really hear everything he was saying as my head was full of the thought of seeing Summer. I followed Nick into the baby room decorated all over in soft pink including the crib and the mosquito net over the crib. It was neatly equipped with everything needed to take care of a baby.

I was pretty impressed that two men managed to take care of a baby this efficiently.
