Keira was sitting at the local coffee shop across from maddies school, just looking for the answers some sort of guidance as to what she should do. Sometimes things are left better un-said and shes just not sure if this is the right time for her to bring her daughter into a mans life she hardly knows. She just knows what he likes in bed, Thats all she has ever known from Nick carter. She doesn't know what he likes on his toast in the morrning, she doesn't know his favorite cologne, she doesn't know his favorite place to eat.
She knows nothing about the world known heart throb all she knows are things every backstreet fan knows, which is nothing personal. All she knows are the facts of nick carter. The relality is she knows absolutely nothing else about him, So what is there to seperate her from every other lurker, every other girl out there? Nothing she knows nothing truly special she may have had a glimpse of his heart, but it was just that a glimpse a gander. Nothing personal. All she knows is she loves him and thought that he loved her, but at what point does love stop being enough, what is the breaking point. When is love just not enough?
"Sweetie, you come here every single day for the past month and just sit there and stare at your coffee, you never even sip at it. Is everything okay?"
Keira was snapped out of her thoughts and she stared at the beautiful lady obviously the result of a great plastic suregon or maybe she just has really amazing genes. "When does love stop being enough."
The ladys who's name tag read martine had the most elegant looking eyes she has ever seen. It was like looking into the ocean she was very calming and her voice was so soft she said something that lit up her heart. " Sweetheart if its really love, then it should always just be that. Enough. Because anything less isn't love and your just fooling yourself."
"Well sweetie im sure we will chat again soon, but I need to go and pick up my daughter. It was great talking to you, just remember that. It should never stop being enough no matter what if you truly love someone and they love you. You should be able to work though everything and any possible problem you have."
Keria smiled and said to simple words that make you feel just that much better about yourself when your feeling down. Besdies the other 3 words woman always Love to hear 'you look great', But 'Thank you'
"No need sweetie it was my pleasure."
Martine smiled and like she entered Kerias life she was gone just as fast, but leaving her with words of great wisdom, words that should be published, but I guess anyone in love would know thats the answer. Keria found she was just a fabrication love, it wasn't the real thing was it?
Keria took a deep breath inhaling the sweet exilerating aroma of coffee and chocolate. She got up off the cafe bar stool, and walked over to a booth where she could maybe quite possibly have a little privacy. Possibly close to the restrooms incase she felt the inscessant need to vomit.
This cafe has been like a milestone To Keria's life. It was where things first started happening for her, its where she ran away from her small town in the massive country Canada when she found out she was pregnant with Nick carters child. Its where she found her first friend and confident someone she could trust and talk too. Its where she first met Andrea at the time, Andrea was working at this cafe. Keria remembered it like it was yesterday...
**Flashback**
Keria walked into the cafe and the bells chimed, it was a very quaint and safe looking place nothing like the other places she walked into. She walked into a place called "Wet Knickers" Kerias small town vulnerbility kicked in she thought it was a bathingsuit store. She was being shouted obsenites by all the men, there were even some women shouting comments at her. She was sure they had to do with something sexual, but she wasn't so sure people think Canadians have an accent they sure as hell haven't been to Australia. Keria shook her head at the thought, she thought it was funny that she cracked some guy in the jaw though. She was pregnant and they tried to get her to get up on stage, to dance by the name of Kiki!
Keria walked in and she was instantly greeted by the sweet smell of chocolate and exilerating aroma of coffee. **Sweet Aroma** was the name of the cafe. they sure were right maybe it was because Keria was 6 months pregnant that everything just smelled right, like she was at home sitting in Grandmas kitchen. Most of all she felt comfortable there, all the signs were true its just like grandmas kitchen. Once you visit, you never want to leave. That was their slogan.
Keria took a deep breath as soon as she waddled her way over to bar stool number 99, and took another deep breath. She was quickly interupted by someone snapping their fingers.
"ahhh there it is, the smile it took you long enough. Heres your picture." The waitress chuckled.
Keria looked and blonde green eyes beauty, she looked like someone right out of a magazine or on entertainment tonight. Keria took the picture out of the girls perfectly manicured hands "Umm, Thanks".
"Its a Tourist attraction, its true though everyone who makes that little bell chime and step foot in here. They always come back, I have asked a few and they said its the smell. The lady who owns this place made a fortune, before she opened up this place she took off her knickers. Now her Knickers are worth millions. The names Andrea, what can I get for you?"
Keria laughed " Tourist Attraction? I guess so. Names Keria umm whats good here?"
"Hun, you should't drink anything here. Everything here is either loaded with so much caffiene or their are little shots of baileys or kahula. Its all good though. I'll give you a lemonade on the rocks its on the house."
"Thank you." Keria smiled.
"Its my job Keria, so what brings you here? I mean you dont really sound like your from around here. No offense but you look a little lost!"
Keira stiffled her laughter " Mmm, yea I am a little lost, but im sure I will find my way."
Andrea nodded and said the lemonade on the rocks in front of her, stuck a straw in. "your going to need a place to stay my boyfriend is gone and im not used to staying alone. So you can stay with me."
"Ohh really I dont want to impose, its fine really besdes i barely know you, its crazy." Keria stated a little un-sure of herself.
"No, whats crazy is you travelling here from where ever it is your from, obviously very pregnant, with no wheres to stay. Alone. Thats whats crazy. I get off work in a few hours i'll be off work you can stay with me."
That was that they have been there for eachother ever since that fatefull day in sweet aroma. Keria never really ever showed andrea how much it meant to her, but it meant more than she will ever know.
Keria sat down and moved away from her stool 99, she was now in booth 23 her lucky number. It was the day Maddie was born, maddie was born on febuary 3rd. Keria had to do what she had to do here, it was where she felt most comfortable.
It rang a few times and rang before someone picked up "Hey, Nick its Keria."
"Who?" Issabelle smacked her gum, nick just came home and got in the shower and left his cell phone on the counter.
"Keria, the name is Keria!! Keria said annoyed can you please just tell Nick I called."
nick walked out of the shower in just a towel, and came down to get his cell phone and lock himself in the guest room and put in ear plugs and watch the T.V on mute anything was better than listening to his ex wife moan and groan with other men. Nothing pissed him off more, cause in the past year they maybe had sex 5 times. Now she screws everything with a penis, excpept him hes not going down that road. He saw Issabelle was on his phone.
"Keria, You can tell him yourself here he is." Isabelle haned Nick the phone almost dropping it in the sink on purpose.
"Nick its one of your hoes". Isabelle smirked.
"Issabelle, F*ck off. Wait you do that anyway." Nick Sneered.
"Now, Now Nicky is that anyway to talk to your wife."
"When my wife is a whore yea its the only way, you know what dont worry I'll be out of MY house soon."
"Good cause me and sam are having a toga party and we both think it would be a little awkward for you to be here."
"Whatever, can you please leave." Nick rolled his eyes.
Kerias heart was pounding and she was getting agitated "HELLO, **** IT NICK".
Nick was having a hard time holding the towel and talking on the phone at the same time, he was mystified by how women do it cause they have boobs they need to cover. " Hey Keria, Its Nick I just really needed to talk to you, im sorry about how we left things. Im sorry."
Keria grimaced at what she was about to tell Nick. " Me too, but ummm...listen theres something I need to tell you."
