Y/n POV
Nick and I were sitting on the couch next to each other as Emma sat in front of us. Nick was squeezing my hand lightly as Emma's eyes travel from him and I.
E: So where should I start
Emma says looking down into her lap fidgeting with her fingers
N: Why are you here
Nick says getting straight to the point making her eyes shot up looking directly into Nick's which low-key made me feel uncomfortable I mean why was she even here, especially after 3 years when everything is so good. Why is she here to ruin it, she had her chance. I look at her face I try reading her expression but she's kinda hard to read
E: Well actually I've have been in Europe for the last 3 years at first I started studying dance and then I got bored so I joined a restaurant to collect some money. Once I made some friends I decided to go back packing all across the continent.
She explains as Nick and I look at her confused
E: Well after that I didn't really know what to do so I decided to come back to LA I don't know if I'm gonna stay here. Like maybe I'm looking for one thing to stay-
I raise my eyebrow at her remark unable to control what I wanted to say
Y/n: Hold up, don't mind me intruding but what is this one thing your looking for
I ask cutting her off as she makes an awkward expression
E: I honestly don't know
She answer softly, ok maybe is it just me or was Emma acting to nice it was honestly kind of weird. I'm confused of what she wants exactly. It's like she's like beating around the bush trying to avoid the real reason why she's here.
N: Look Emma, Y/n and I are really happy and so is Maya-
E: Maya... our daughter
Emma asks cutting Nick off in a higher pitch tone; I clench my jaw, how dare she say OUR DAUGHTER she didn't even bother looking at her daughter when she was born. I'm the one that was there for her during all her phases and I will be here for her in the future too
Nick lightly nods
N: Y/n and I have been raising her from the beginning and if your here-
E: No, no that's not why I'm here. I actually don't have a place to live and I was kinda wondering if I could stay here for a couple days.
I immediately raise both eyebrows at her statement. First why is she acting so gentle, second there's a thing called a hotel I'm sure there are plenty and third what was this girl planning because I wasn't falling for her games.
N: I um- I don't know
Nick replies as he turns his head towards me I look at him lightly shaking my head no.
We both look back at her as she smiles acting all innocent
E: Look if you're worried about Maya I won't tell her the truth I won't say anything you can say I'm an old friend. And I won't cross any boundaries. As goes from staying here I'll only be here for 2 days because my aunts coming back into town and I'll stay with her. Please
She nearly begs as I look away rolling my eyes. Nick tries soothing my mood by gently rubbing the skin on my hand.
N: Um I guess you can stay in the guest room in our basement
Nick says as I look at him immediately annoyed rolling my eyes slightly. Like didn't she had friends in LA, cause I thought she was like really popular.
But no she had to stay here in her ex's house to also happens to be the father of her biologically daughter. I deeply sigh letting go of Nick's hand getting off the couch going upstairs. I just feel like she's her for more like she wants something else.
**A couple hours later**
I was currently in my bedroom making the bed as the door behind me opens. I turn my head slightly seeing Nick. I look the other way upset continuing to make the bed.
N: Hey.....
Nick says waiting for my reply as I try ignoring him
N: Babe...... Y/n
He says walking closer to me
N: Are you mad
He asks as I look at him crossing my arms raising my eyebrows
Y/n: Mad, you think I'm mad??
I ask as he nods
N: Yeah
He replies softly
Y/n: Nick I'm not upset I'm furious
I answer as he sighs grabbing my hands pulling my closer
N: Why
Y/n: Oh um maybe because you just let your ex stay at our house
I state letting go of hands moving back
N: Come on Y/n, it's just 2 days
He complains as I shake my head
Y/n: It's not about 2 days Nick what's wrong with you
I argue as he shrugs confused
Y/n: Nick for the past 3 years every time you think about Emma you despise her and now instantly your heart is warmer towards her. I think she's here for something else-
N: Like what
He argues back
Y/n: I don't know Nick I don't know
I reply annoyed and frustrated
N: It's just 2 days
Y/n: I know that stop repeating the same thing
N: MAN, Y/n why are you being so UPTIGHT
My jaw drops looking at him with a glare. I shaking my head chuckling furiously
Y/n: Uptight, I'm uptight Nick your freakin oblivious. But be my guest and grab these things
I grab his pillow and an extra blanket throwing it at him as he catches it looking at me puzzled
N: What's this for
He says his tone getting softer
Y/n: Enjoy the couch tonight
I state as I signal towards to the door.
N: Y/n-
I look away walking into the closet to change as I hear him eventually leave the room closing the door behind him.
