Confessions of An Ice Girl

Chapter 17-

October came and went quickly. It was now mid-November, Ella was now a little over 4 months old. I had went to Nashville twice to see James and he'd been here once. Our visits were usually just us quietly spending time together with Ella. We didn't talk much about the past or the future for that matter. Just the now and how Ella had been since our last visit.

"You should come out tonight!" Jordyn said "You haven't came out since you had Ella."

"I don't have time for that. Besides, I can't bring a four month old to a bar." I reminded her

"I know that. But you can get a sitter."

I bit my lip. I wanted to go out, but I hated that idea. Sure she was in daycare at the office a lot, but she was never more than 50 feet from me. "I don't know..."

"Come on, Abby. You need some time for you."

"I guess I can call Tonya from work and see if she can babysit."

"That's the spirit!" Jordyn smiled

And that's how I ended up back at Diesel's on a cold November night. Drinking a kinky and Sprite, the blue kind. "Long time no see." Paul Martin said sliding into the seat besides me

"Hey, Paul."

"How've you been?"

I nodded "Okay."

"How's Neal?"

"I assume he's fine. We don't necessarily talk much..."

Paul nodded "How's Ella?"

I smiled "she's great."

"That's good...she's five months now?"

"Almost." I replied pulling a photo of her up on my phone and showing it to him

"She looks like James."

"She does."

"Well, it was great seeing you, Abby."

"Yeah you too, Paul." I smiled turning back to my drink.

Jordyn came up to me, "hey was that Paul?"

"Yeah. He was just saying hi."

"I wasn't sure cause I didn't see any of the other guys here while I went to the bathroom. I'll take an apple martini." She said to the bartender

I shrugged "I just saw Paul."

"Why if it isn't my two favorite ice girls! Well one former..." Robert Bortuzzo said taking the seat beside me

"Hey Bortz." I said

"Hi, Rob." Jordyn smiled

"What have you been up to, Abby? Haven't seen you out much."

"Raising mine and Neal's daughter." I replied

"That's right. How is Neal handling the trade?"

"I assume he's fine..."

Bortz nodded "well let me buy you both a drink."

Here we have it again. An instance where "No." should've been my answer, but instead, I said yes.

The night drug on and I had a lot to drink. So did Jordyn. I found myself on the dance floor with Robert Bortuzzo while Jordyn was off flirting with some other guy. "So, Abby?" he said after a few minutes of dancing

"Yeah, Bortz?"

"Are you and Neal a thing then or..."

"No. I mean we have Ella together, but we are not together. Why?"

"Because I wouldn't feel right doing this..." he said kissing me...and like always, instead of stopping it or leaving, I kissed him back.
_______________________________________
I woke up to the feint sound of Ella crying, I sleepily got out of bed and retrieved her from her crib, carrying her to the kitchen and making a bottle. I sat down in my chair and started rocking her, "She looks a lot like Neal." I snapped my head up and saw Bortz standing in the entry way of my living room without a shirt on. "I should probably get going..."

"Yeah...that might be best." I replied, remembering the night before. Dancing with Rob, the kiss, asking him to come home with me...

Bortz nodded, "Well, I'll see you around."

"Yeah." I replied as Bortz threw his shirt back on and left. I grabbed my phone and saw a few missed calls from Jordyn and one simple text...

Jordyn- What happened to you?
Abby- I went home...
Jordyn- you went home? with who? Lisa said she saw you leaving with a guy!
Abby- I went home with Bortz.
Jordyn- YOU WENT HOME WITH BORTZ?!?!
Abby- Yes! But please don't tell anyone. It was a mistake...I have to go though I'm feeding Ella and then going back to bed.

I sat my phone down and burped Ella, taking her back into the room and laying her in the crib. I sat in the rocker and stayed in her room waiting until she'd fallen asleep before heading back to my bed and laying down.
