Nick arrived home and
walked into the house and saw it empty. All the furniture and his possessions
were gone. He searched the house and saw his clothes and stuff gone. He called
the guys. They came over and saw the house.
“What the heck is
going on here,” Nick said. He saw a note on the mantle of the fireplace.
He opened it.
“It has an address
on it, it says to come to this address,
and just walk into the house,” Nick said. They went to the house and he looked
at it and saw it was the most beautiful house he’s ever seen and it was by the
ocean. He went up to the door and walked in and looked around and saw all his
stuff and looked at the guys.
“Hello?” Nick
called. He saw his wife, Brizee, come in from
the kitchen.
“Hey, surprise!”
Brizee said.
“What,” Nick
said.
“Briz, what is going
on,” Brian said.
“Briz, what is this,”
Nick said.
“Our new house,
I wanted to surprise you with it, so while
you were on tour, I found this house, got it ready to go and packed up
everything and moved it here, the girls helped me get everything unpacked and
set up,” Brizee said.
“Do you think it
should have been a decision we made
together,” Nick said.
“I wanted to do
something for you, Nick, I thought you would
like it, a house by the ocean, and you can park your boat at the dock out there
so you can just walk down and go out on your boat without having to drive to
the marina all the time,” Brizee said. Nick looked out back and saw his boat
parked at the dock. He looked at her.
“How did it get
there,” Nick said.
“Your dad and Aaron,”
Brizee said.
“So everyone was
in on this,” Nick said.
“Except you and
the guys,” Brizee said. Nick looked at Brian,
AJ, and Howie.
“We didn’t
know anything, I swear,” Brian said.
“Leigh, Leighanne,
and Rochelle knew but they didn’t tell
their husbands,” Brizee said.
“I can’t believe
this,” Nick said.
“You have been working
nonstop and you always said you wanted
a house by the ocean again, I thought I would surprise you and get you what you
wanted,” Brizee said.
“With my money,
without talking to me first,” Nick said.
“Nick, calm down,”
AJ said.
“I bought it, Nick,
I bought the house with my money, the
house is in your name and mine and I used all the money I had left that was my
own money to buy it,” Brizee said. Nick looked at it and went out the backdoor.
Brizee watched him go.
“So if Nick were
to leave you, you wouldn’t have any money to
live on,” Howie said.
“I would have the
house but no money to live on, when I did
this, I thought he would like it,” Brizee said.
“This is something
you wanted to do for him, I think he is in
shock,” Brian said.
“I don’t know
if I can handle it if he left me because of
this,” Brizee said.
“Briz, you thought
he would like it, maybe he will grow to
like it,” Howie said.
“Maybe I should
just forget this, let’s get everything packed
and move it back to the other house,” Brizee said.
“What were you going
to do with that house,” AJ said.
“I was going to
get new furniture and redecorate the house
and have two houses, that way if there are any hurricanes, we can have that
house since it’s safer than this one,” Brizee said.
“Just let him cool
down and then talk to him,” Brian said.
Brizee looked out and saw Nick standing on the beach.
“I think I made
a big mistake, I shouldn’t have gotten this
house and shouldn’t have done anything without talking to him first,” Brizee
said. Howie hugged her.
“You wanted to do
something special, you wanted to surprise
him, he’ll come around,” Howie said.
“You guys know how
Nick is, he won’t accept a decision like
this if he wasn’t a part of it, let’s just pack,” Brizee said. The guys nodded
and helped her start packing. Nick came in and saw them.
“What’s going
on,” Nick said.
“Moving back to
the other house,” AJ said.
“Why,” Nick
said.
“Because you didn’t
like the surprise, I shouldn’t have
gotten this house, it was the wrong thing to do,” Brizee said.
“Briz, I like the
house, and the surprise, I just was in
shock that you got this house, which you used all the money you had left for
this house, you could have used our money,” Nick said.
“What are you saying,”
Brizee said. The guys looked at him.
He looked at her and smiled.
“We are staying,
Briz, we are home,” Nick said. Brizee
grinned and jumped into his arms and hugged him. The guys smiled and joined the
hug. An hour later, the guys left. The stuff that they started to pack were put
back where they were. Nick looked all through the house and sat down on the
couch.
“Amazing, I love
it,” Nick said.
“I thought so, but
don’t worry, we are not selling the other
house, we are going to redecorate it and have it for when the hurricanes come,
we can go to that house to be safe, since it’s not near the ocean,” Brizee
said.
“Awesome,”
Nick said.
