A needing to see you(Nick/Irish)

[cherisekopp]

The soft sounds of humming could be heard from the babies room, Cherise sat in the rocking chair rocking the one mother old to sleep. Better yet trying to get her to sleep, she had been up all night with the screaming Anna who wasn’t felling her best at the moment. Poor child had a fever and an ear infection and what little sleep Cherise had managed to catch was quickly getting spent. She knew she needed to get to the store to pick up Annas medication and a few things for the house. With a sigh she looked down and noted she was asleep, carefully she stood up and placed her in her crib, kissing her forehead, which wasn’t as hot as it had been the night before, her cheeks were still flush with color and this brought a frown to Cherise. She quietly slipped out of Annas room and went downstairs to pick up a few things before heading back upstairs to shower, she simply threw on a pair of yoga pants a tank top and one of her hoodies before throwing her hair up into a messy bun and rubbing her temples. She didn’t even touch her makeup just walked out of the bathroom and found Annas dipper bag, packing a few things in it before tossing her wallet from her purse into it and her cell phone. She went back upstairs and carefully picked Anna up and placed her into the carseat. She carried her downstairs and slipped her pumas on and grabbed the dipper bag and her keys before grabbing the carseat and heading out the door, getting Anna situated in the car first before going back and locking the door. She got in and pulled out and headed to the store. Parking was easy and before getting out of the car she said a quite prayer that Anna would sleep until they got home, she did not want to deal with a sick and screaming child, it made everything worse. Cherise got out of the car and grabbed a cart, getting Annas carseat in the cart and tossed the bag in and locked the car, she headed in and dug her phone out, wondering what Nick was up to. She hadn’t seen him in a few weeks, yes it was true they had been talking but she really just wanted to see him, he just seemed to make everything better. She quickly sent him a text, asking what he was up to and if he wanted to come over tonight. She tucked her phone in her pocket and went to the pharmacy, picking up the antibiotics and then quickly going around the store getting the other few things she needed, all the more keeping a close eye on Anna. They made it out of the store and back home without an incident and Cherise placed her in the playpen and started unpacking items all the while waiting for a text from Nick.

Rolling over, he reached out and grabbed his phone from his bedside table, opening up the message that he had received and reading it. ‘Sure, for a while, I have work later tonight. I’ll head over soon,’ he sent back, before rolling out of bed completely, making his way to the bathroom in his apartment to shower and get changed before he went anywhere. It didn’t take him long to shower and get ready to go, because of course, he didn’t really do much to get ready normally to begin with, just getting dressed and packing his bag for work later, not that he really had to take much with him. Shrugging on his jacket, and grabbing his helmet and the keys to his motorcycle, he set off out of his apartment, making sure that he remembered to lock the door behind him, forgetting how many times he’d had to run back up to double check that he had actually locked it up, before heading downstairs and to where his bike and car were kept. It didn’t take too long to ride from his apartment building to her house, parking it outside and killing the engine, tugging off his helmet again before walking up the path to her front door. When he reached it, he rang the doorbell, stepping back to wait for her to answer the door. sammie | 329 | outfit | a pooost

She heard her phone go off, which caused her to jump a little bit seeing yes she had been expecting it but had forgotten about it. She didn’t have to text him back and finished putting everything away before heading upstairs to pretty herself up just a tad and not look like a hobo when the guy she liked came over. She also decided one time she would have to go and see him dj, but with Anna and not finding a decent babysitter it made things harder than they really should have been. She put on a pair of dark wash skinny jean and a dark gray split shoulder embellished top. She went into the bathroom and fixed her hair, curling the strands so they looked as though they had not been in a bun moments ago. She then fixed her makeup and hair sprayed her hair before finally putting a touch of her favorite perfume on. She did a once over in the mirror before heading back downstairs, she checked on Anna and felt her head before going and making a bottle with the medicine inside it. She carefully pulled back the blanket and let the cooler air hit the child before she began to stir. She was quite crabby at the point, but nothing Cherise couldn’t fix. Ok maybe she couldn’t she had been dealing with this for quite some time now. She scooped Anna up and held the bottle to her mouth, when she took it Cherise covered her back up and went and sat down, lightly bouncing the child to keep her relaxed, when the bottle was all done she set her up and began hitting her back to make her burp, finally she did and then Cherise rocked her back to sleep and placed her once more in the playpen. She heard the door bell and went to the door, opening she gave him a smile, Hello stranger. She spoke with a grin as she stepped up to kiss his cheek, she moved back in the house calling over her shoulder, come in come in make yourself right at home. With that she plopped down on the couch and waited.

He followed her into the house, and into the living room, making a mental note to remember to keep an eye on the time so that he wouldn’t be late for work, not that being late hadn’t happened before but he tried not to make a habit of it, he’d always get there early so that he could set up his own stuff before the DJ who was playing before him left. he sat down on the couch after she did, setting himself comfortably, placing his helmet and bag next to his feet for now, giving Cherise another smile as he looked over at her. “How have you been?” he asked. It had been a while since they had seen each other in person, but he had been busy, and he guessed that she had been as well, so it was really just one of those things that couldn’t be helped. sammie | 259 | outfit | a pooost

She rested her head in her hands and looked at Nick, Could be a lot better im like running on fumes of sleep I was up all night with Anna because shes sick, works busy but I at least got two week’s time off so that’s a plus, was hopping to use some of it to get caught up on some things around here but that hasn’t happened yet and I would love to get out and have a little me time but that doesn’t happen. She laughed and looked at him, but enough about me what about you? She asked softly, before straightening herself and reaching up to move a curled piece of hair that had fallen in front of her eyes, she stood and went into the kitchen, digging through the dipper bag until she came up with her bottle of water and wallet that might be a good thing to take out. She returned and twisted the cap off and took a sip before replacing the cap and setting it down on the table, your lucky I tided my house before you came it was a war zone and I really do mean that. She smiled, it was nice to have adult time and adult conversation, one tended to forget what it was all about when you became a mother, just like one tended to put social life and going out on the back burner when there was a child to care for but she really didn’t want to be like that but it just happened to be going like that at the moment, so your dj tonight? I will have to come and see you sometime. She found herself smiling again and curled her legs underneath her and waited for him to respond.

He figured it was probably hard for her, being a single parent, he could only imagine how it was for his dad after his mother had died, although at least Penn had been older by then and he was a toddler, although he wasn’t sure how much easier that was combined compared to having a young baby. He thought about what he had been up to since last time she had seen him… nothing really too out of the ordinary, just work, seeing friends, what he normally did in a week… then again, most of his seeing friends was while he was at work. “Just work really, I’ve had a lot of bookings lately so most nights I’ve been out at clubs. I’ve had to travel out of town a fair bit for some of them too,” he answered. It was definitely a lot easier when he didn’t have to travel all over the place to get to wherever he was booked. Half the time it ended up in him staying in some motel overnight, since he finished late, which could get annoying. “I’m sure it had nothing on what my apartment usually looks like,” he answered, when she commented on the fact she had cleaned before he arrived, chuckling a little. Well, he had never claimed to be known for his housekeeping skills. “And yeah, I am. It’s going to be a late one, I’ve slept most of the day so I don’t end up falling asleep there,” he said. He had made the mistake of working a late shift on not much sleep a few times before, and it wasn’t something that he wanted to repeat again. “And yeah, you should come listen one day, although I’m not really sure how interesting it would be.” - - - - - - - - - - it doesn't matter when we get back to doing what we do, 'cause right now could last forever just as long as i'm with you, you're just a daydream away, i wouldn't know what to say if i had you, and i'll keep you a daydream away, just watch from a safe place, so i never have to lose

Cherise smiled and nodded, yes it will be a lot easier when she is well again and not so fussy and yes the time off is helpful I can focus on getting her well before I have to leave her with a babysitter again. She smiled and nodded as he began to talk about what he had been doing, poor boy had been working a lot lately but he seemed ok with it which was a good thing, she gave him a light smile and laughed, I think it could have easily gave your apartment a run for your money. She grinned and shook her head, tisk tisk Nick, I find lots of things interesting and it doesn’t always have to do with that, its just being out and being able to see you, and partially hanging out with you. She smiled and sighed contently resting her head in hand again as she looked at him. So I have been doing a lot of thinking Nick and I want to make our date up, you know go somewhere see a movie and have no interruptions like last time, my treat. She spoke with a smile, taking his hand in hers and giving it a gentle squeeze, you know I missed you quite a bit. She blushed, it seemed silly but it was true and she was afraid that deep down inside he really didn’t feel a thing when he came and saw her but somewhere within him she hopped he did and she didn’t share these feelings alone. She heard Anna starting to stir and she closed her eyes for a moment, her “me” time was now gone, with a sigh she stood and walked over to the playpen and scooped her up and went into the kitchen, making a bottle with the medicine hidden inside, she tested it before giving it to Anna as she sat down. She didn’t know how Nick felt about kids, how he really felt about being with a women who had a kid and what he truly felt and that truly scared her.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: 101010; border: #262626 solid 10px; width: 515px; padding: 5 5 5 5px;] “Yeah, hopefully you’ll be able to find someone who will do a better job than the last one…” he answered, casting his mind back to their first date… that hadn’t exactly gone to plan, thanks to the babysitter. Who said that they could babysit when they had no clue, really? It seemed dangerous to him. He guessed though, that there was probably no way to tell whether someone could look after a kid or not until after you had witnessed it at least once. “And I wouldn’t be so sure about that if I were you. I’m not exactly renowned for my cleaning skills. I definitely do music better than housekeeping.” “I know. It’s just a bit harder when I’m stuck in the DJ booth for most of the night, that takes up most of my time, of course,” he replied, flashing her a smile across the couch. Well, it did, it wasn’t like he could really just stop and chat to someone, if he did he had to keep doing what he was doing at the time and half the time it meant that he barely even heard whatever was being said to him in the first place. Nor could he really walk away from the booth for even thirty seconds. He nodded when she said that she wanted to make up their date, letting her take his hand and giving it a quick squeeze in return. “That sounds good to me… we’ll just have to figure out when we’ve both got a gap in our schedules that are at the same time… which might be easier when you’re having your time off,” he said. It shouldn’t be too hard, he thought, he’d just have to make sure that he had a day where he didn’t have any bookings. He didn’t get much of a chance to say more as she stood up to go to Anna, waiting for her to come back out after she’d gotten her a bottle, giving her another smile as she came back out. - - - - - - - - - - it doesn't matter when we get back to doing what we do, 'cause right now could last forever just as long as i'm with you, you're just a daydream away, i wouldn't know what to say if i had you, and i'll keep you a daydream away, just watch from a safe place, so i never have to lose

She laughed of course she was only joking she knew the girl wouldn’t still her baby, she didn’t seem like the type to do such a thing. She nodded and thought for a moment, I guess im just an all-around girl, I do good with cooking and housework and of course my job of helping others but with the state that my house was in before you came im sure it would have gave yours a pretty good run. She smiled and casted a glance down at Anna and took the bottle from her and grabbed the rag from the back of the couch and sat her up, away from Nick as the child had gotten fussy with certain formulas and could get sick on a dime but that hadn’t happened so much after a visit to the doctor and switch in formula. She patted her back and turned her attention back to Nick, you can put muiltitasker on my list too I figured it would be hard for you to talk but its still coming to you do what you love and anytime you get hurt you will most likely see me at least before the doctor comes in. She smiled and continued to pat her back, adjusting slightly and still listening and paying attention to Nick, that works I mean I can technically be called back to work at any time on my vacation if they really need me but we will think of something. She heard Anna burp, good push. She spoke before rubbing her daughters back and tossing the rag back on the back of couch and turning and crossing her legs and sitting Anna in between so she was still resting/leaning against something. I guess the whole date thing comes down to when you have bookings or not and you can tell me what you would like to do and I will go about planning it. She grinned still looking at him, would you like to hold her? She had gotten him to do it once before but she was curious if he would do it again. [/style]

And he just chuckled when she said that her house could have given his apartment a run for its money, reaching up to rub the back of his neck with one hand before speaking. “I don’t know. Generally when guys live by themselves, cleaning isn’t very high on the priority list… not that I end up spending a lot of time in my apartment that’s not spent sleeping anyway so I guess it takes a while for the mess to accumulate anyway,” he answered. “That’s fine, we’ll just play it by ear, since I might get a random call asking me if I can go in and gig somewhere on any given day too,” he answered, when she said that might be called back into work during her time off. It happened to him as well, he’d get last minute calls from clubs asking if he could replace a DJ they had booked that couldn’t end up making it, or something like that. it wasn’t so bad, unless the club happened to be a fair distance away from Addison, which left things a bit tight. He’d even had to jump straight in the car and start driving as soon as he had received calls sometimes. “I’ll let you know when I come up with something,” he added. He looked down at his watch, shaking back the sleeve of his leather jacket a bit so that he could read the time on it. “Umm, maybe for a bit, I have to leave pretty soon for work, I don’t want to be late and all.” - - - - - - - - - - it doesn't matter when we get back to doing what we do, 'cause right now could last forever just as long as i'm with you, you're just a daydream away, i wouldn't know what to say if i had you, and i'll keep you a daydream away, just watch from a safe place, so i never have to lose
