Okay quick...this part is short because I just wanted to write a little blur for y'all to see this. Kinda like a prologue.
Thanks Britt for helping, Sheri for the name and Rae for the title!
Lemme know what y'all think!
Nick’s POV
I yawned and laced my fingers through hers as we walked through the cold streets of Cincinnati. I was so tired; I ended up pulling through a 9 hour shift last night, that’s normal for me though…it was the 6 hour shift that I had to work AFTER. Where should I begin? I work two jobs because if I don’t I wouldn’t be able to support her…her as in my wife…Sheri. She’s my world, my everything but we don’t have money. I was the “troubled†kid in high school, drinking, smoking, sleeping around getting into any amount of trouble I could…that was me. Sheri…she was the opposite…she was the perfect little miss goody two shoes. So it’s strange how we ended up together but the fact of the matter is we had and we love each other. But when she began seeing me her parent’s immediately disapproved…it didn’t stop her from seeing me but they didn’t like it. My parents…I don’t even know where they are. I’ve been in home after home with new parent’s each year (it seems like it). We graduated high school almost 2 ½ years ago, Sheri and I left and eloped the day after graduation…I never would’ve made it to my graduation if she didn’t push me to work hard. So we eloped and her parent’s kicked her out…on the street; we had no where to go. No money, no jobs…nothing but each other. At first I kept telling her as long as we had each other that was all that mattered but unfortunately in the real world being in love doesn’t pay the bills, buy the food, and keep you clothed. I ended up getting 2 part time jobs. I spent more hours working down at an auto body shop and for a couple hours a week I’d work at our local grocery shop. I’m almost 21 and the best job I’d ever have in my life was working in the auto body shop. I worked 2 jobs because even though I didn’t go to college, I didn’t want that for Sheri…she deserves better than what I can give her…if I have to work my [arse] off to get her in college so she can get her teaching degree…I’ll do it. She works too…at a local daycare place.
“I’m cold…†My angel spoke pulling me out of my thoughts. I took my jacket off and draped it over her shoulders. “Now you’re cold…†I shook my head and kissed the side of her head.
“I’m fine…c’mon let’s head home.†We walked in the direction of our small 1 bedroom apartment. When we got inside I held her against me as the elevator went up to our floor. We lived in a 6 floor crappy, run down place…it was all we could manage. It had a living room, one bedroom, small kitchen and a bathroom. It was enough for us…I took the key out, turned it in the lock and motioned for her to go in first. I looked at her and sighed, closing the door I watched her walk slowly into the bedroom…this was no place for her to be living. It was Christmas time for crying out loud…I have to do something special for her…something to make her happy. I threw the keys on the table and fell back onto the ratty old couch closing my eyes. I had to work in 3 hours and needed as much sleep as I could get but spending time with Sheri is more important. I sat there thinking about what I could do to make this holiday special for her and I looked up and smiled at her when I saw her coming out of the bedroom dressed in my oversized t-shirt and sweatpants. She sat next to me and laid her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her, closed my eyes, kissed the top of her head and hugged her tight.
“I love you…†She hummed.
“Love you too…†She cuddled closer into my and eventually fell asleep in my arms.
And onto the real chapter!
