Chapter Twelve

It wasn’t that Kent missed Nicole, she’d only been gone since yesterday, but as he got ready for the guys to come over for poker night, he couldn’t help but picture her pretty face and wish she was there.

He poured some chips into a bowl and placed it on the granite counter top in his kitchen. He opened up the door to his walk in pantry, and found a container of salsa to put out with the chips.

He liked homemade salsa better, but didn’t have any clue how to even begin to make it. He wondered if Nicole ever made fresh salsa.

He shook his head, trying to clear away the thoughts of Nic. He needed to get his head ready for the game and stop moping around like a love-sick idiot.

He looked around the kitchen to make sure everything was clean and straightened, the way he liked it.

He took in the glass cabinets, which were streak free, and showcased his matching dishware. The countertops were clutter free and his stainless steel appliances sparkled, and everything was put in its place.

The guys gave him a hard time about the fact that his house was always so clean and organized, and unlike most guys his age, he didn’t live off of ramen served in plastic ware.

He could handle their ribbing. He liked the way he lived.

He noticed that they had no problem allowing him to host poker night. They had gone to one of the regulars, Steve’s, house once. That was the first and last time that had happened.

As he walked through the tidy living room, with the black leather sofas and matching accent pieces, he thought about how much he wanted to see Nicole in his house.

He didn’t know why he hadn’t brought her here yet, but he realized that he could picture her here. He could see her helping him get ready for the poker night, or cooking in the kitchen, and was surprised by how much he liked the vision.

Kent was saved from his uncharacteristic thoughts by the knock on his door.

He opened it to a grinning Pete.

“What’s up, Man?” Pete asked putting his hand out to grasp Kent’s in a handshake.

“Not much,” Kent responded with a smile. “Come on in. How’s it going?”

“Pretty good,” Pete said as he entered and headed towards the kitchen to put his beer in the fridge. “I miss Kara and all, but I have to admit, it’s been nice to hang around in my boxers all day and watch Sports Center!”

“I hear that,” Kent responded, although he’d probably never sat around in his boxers before in his life. If he wasn’t dressed for the day, well, then he didn’t wear anything. That was another benefit of having your own place.

Pete used the bottle opener to open a beer and offered it to Kent, before opening another one for himself.

“Thanks,” Kent said, as he took a drink.

Pete went to go grab his seat at the table as another knock sounded on the door.

Steve and a couple of the other poker regulars came barreling in when Kent opened the door.
