“Dad! Dad! You have to see this!” Adam called out as he ran into the house. Nikita placed her camera back into the hallway closet and closed the door before pulling her coat off. She smiled as she had a good morning with Adam and she was pleased with that.
Nikita walked into the kitchen to find Adam pulling the prints out of the paper bag. “She let me help develop these… I didn’t know that pictures just appear… it was so cool!”
Michael looked at Nikita and smiled. “You learned just a bit ago.”
“Whitney wanted me to practice and said that showing someone else this old school technique was the best way to really perfect the skills,” Nikita responded as Adam pulled out another picture. “Look… it’s the picture that Nikita took while we were at the batting cages… I don’t remember us having this good of a picture together.”
Nikita saw the picture and smiled. She had taken it and knew that it was perfect. Michael was in the batting cage helping Adam tighten the helmet. Nikita knew that Michael had been unsure about Adam joining in on baseball at this time as he wasn’t that familiar with the sport, but Adam picked up on everything so quickly.
“I thought you did this with a digital,” Michael spoke and Nikita shrugged her shoulders. “I have some magic to show off…”
Adam pulled out the last sheet and held it up. “And I finally got my picture of Nikita… she even did this cool thing that did the big size and the small wallets….”
“We used the machine for that,” Nikita commented quickly as Michael arched an eyebrow. Michael looked at Adam and placed his hand on his shoulder, realizing how quickly Adam was growing again. “And you didn’t want to go with Nikita today.”
“I know,” Adam rolled his eyes. “Davenport always made this stuff sound boring… but it was kind of fun.”
“That’s because I only showed you good pictures,” Nikita commented and Michael hardly thought that was the case. But he held his words as the phone began to ring. Adam ran for it and Nikita walked over to Michael’s arms. “Missed us?”
“It was quiet here,” Michael stated and Nikita slightly pulled away. “Are you saying that I’m loud?”
“You and Adam are loud,” Michael corrected and Nikita laughed as she looked over her shoulder, guessing what was going on as Adam was talking rapidly into the phone. She was glad for Adam finally getting more friends and she was glad that so far they were a good group of kids, even though they were now officially teenagers.
“Hey Dad…” Adam called out as he covered his phone. “Steve from the ball team is having a swim party at that indoor water park today… and a sleep over… I’m invited… can I go?”
Michael blinked and rubbed his head. “That’s kind of short notice…”
Nikita tapped Michael’s back slightly and looked at Adam. “Is it his birthday?”
“No,” Adam shook his head from side to side. “I guess his grandparents do this for him… and he just always invites the entire time… and since I joined so late they just forgot to mention it…”
“It sounds like Adam would have a great time with all of his new friends from the baseball team,” Nikita commented slowly and Michael stroked Nikita’s back lightly. He knew that Nikita must have known something about this. He knew a set up but he did like the idea of Adam having more friends. It was better now than when he may get into wilder things.
And it did get him out of the house.
“Ok,” Michael nodded his head up and down. Adam started to take off but Michael lifted his hand. “But in the future… I need more notice… and I’d like to hear from the parents themselves.”
“I swear I’ll do that!” Adam declared as he ran out of the room, starting to talk. Michael turned Nikita in his arms and saw her smile. “You’ve known.”
“Yep…” Nikita nodded her head up and down. “The mothers were talking about it at practice… I said I hadn’t heard about it and Steve’s mother wasn’t there… I was hoping that the situation would get resolved.”
Michael looked at the pictures and then to Nikita. “I thought we were directed to do more family things together.”
“We have been,” Nikita sighed as she rubbed her hands along Michael’s arms. “Last week we went to that indoor miniature golf course with the loud techno music…”
“I don’t know how we used to handle missions with that type of music around us,” Michael shook his head from side to side. Nikita grinned and leaned into Michael a bit more. “And we watched those movies with Adam… those new PG-13 movies that he is allowed to see now.”
“I doubt that he has waited until now to see PG-13 movies… Adam tends to be too smart for his own good,” Michael added and Nikita chuckled. “Are you trying to avoid a night alone with me?”
Michael paused and leaned his head back. “Oh… is that what this is?”
“Some time for us to be together? Alone?” Nikita questioned with a slight shake of her head. She waited but Michael didn’t respond. “Michael… I know that we haven’t… abstained…”
“But you were looking to be a bit freer with our decisions of where things happen?” Michael quipped and Nikita realized that he was baiting her. She slapped him playfully as she pulled away. “I guess I can go see what movie is on Lifetime that we can watch… and I’ll make sure that we have some popcorn…”
Michael grabbed her fingers just as Nikita about walked away. He twirled her into his arms. He kissed Nikita’s neck and felt her giggle. He smiled against that smooth skin before whispering. “I’m trying to not get ahead of myself… until Adam leaves.”
Nikita captured Michael’s lips and then pulled away just when Michael was getting comfortable with the kiss. Nikita placed her fingers on his lips before leaning her head back. “Adam… do you need help packing to go? I think I saw your swim suit inside your closet… on the top shelf…”
Michael placed his forehead down underneath Nikita’s neck as he started to laugh.
“Thanks Nikita! I’ll be done in a few minutes… can someone run me over there?” Adam called out and Nikita pulled at Michael’s hair slightly to get him to stop tickling her skin with his muffled laughs. “Your dad is going to take you, Adam.”
Michael dropped his arms from Nikita and sighed. “Why me?”
“Are you questioning me?” Nikita inquired as she stepped towards the refrigerator and then shrugged her shoulders. “I guess I can change some plans I may have had… maybe I should just go for that popcorn…”
“Adam, I’ll grab you a towel from the hall closet. I remember where the swim towels are,” Michael called out as he knew not to mess with Nikita in this mood.
