Swap Week: San Francisco and Goodbyes
by RogerGirl
Nicole woke up the next morning and smiled as she felt Nathan's strong arms holding her close. She kissed Nathan and he woke up and smiled at her. They kissed again, then she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready for their day. While she knew she would see Jennifer and Kyle next year, today would be the last time she'd ever see Nathan so she wanted to make it memorable. She came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel after she was done with her shower. Nathan kissed her then went in the bathroom to take a shower. She went to her suitcase to get her clothes and noticed Nathan had brought up some orange juice and a bowl of fresh fruit from the breakfast bar downstairs. She smiled and took a sip of orange juice and ate a piece of melon. She then went to her suitcase and put on a bra and thong and a short summer dress that ended a couple inches above her knees. After Nathan was done with his shower she went to the bathroom to do her makeup and fix her hair while he got dressed. After she was satisfied with her hair and makeup, she put on some jewelry and perfume. She came back to the bedroom and put on a pair of platform heels and grabbed her purse. They grabbed all of their stuff and met Jennifer and Kyle in the hallway. Uncle Steve came soon after and they all went downstairs and ate some breakfast. After eating a quick breakfast, Uncle Steve took all their stuff to the limo and checked out of the rooms. They met them at the limo and he opened the door for them.
The rest of the day they spent sightseeing San Francisco. They'd all been nervous that their Swap Week identities wouldn't hold up away from Sutter's Valley, but no one seemed to notice that they were anything other than they appeared. They visited tourist spots, shops, and had lunch at a famous local restaurant. While the rest of them had been to San Francisco before, this was Nicole's first time and she was having a good time. At one point Nathan stopped at a jewelry store and bought her a locket. He put a photo of each of them in the locket and gave it to her to remember the time they spent together. Nicole smiled and kissed him. She thought to herself how lucky she was to have a boyfriend like Nathan and would remember this when she returned to her life as Nick and took a girl out on a date. Nick hadn't been the best boyfriend in the past, but now that he'd experienced a relationship from the other side he would have more success with his future girlfriends. Everyone was having a good time together, but soon they noticed it was getting late. Uncle Steve led them back to the limo and drove them back to Sutter's Valley. On the drive back they sat quiet knowing this was the last time they'd all be together as a group.
They got off the freeway and Uncle Steve dropped Kyle off at his house. He grabbed his bag and gave Jennifer a long kiss, hugged Nicole, and shook Nathan's and Uncle Steve's hands. While they would miss each other, they planned to see each other again next Swap Week, so it was only a temporary goodbye for Jennifer. They next stopped at Jennifer's house. Jennifer hugged Nicole and made plans to meet up to help her little brother get ready for his first Swap Week next year. She gave Nathan and Uncle Steve a hug and grabbed her bag and said goodbye. The ride over to Nathan's was the hardest. Nicole's eyes began to form tears as she thought that she would never see him again. Nathan pushed the hair out of her face, dried her tears, and comforted her. He told her it would be OK and to just remember the happy times they shared together. They pulled in front of his house and he gave her a long kiss. He grabbed his bag and shook Uncle Steve's hand and went to his house. Nicole waved as she watched him disappear behind his front door.
On the ride to her apartment Uncle Steve rolled down the partition. He asked her how she was feeling and told her that Swap Week breakups can be tough. He told her about how hard it was to say goodbye to a boy he dated as Stephanie his senior year. On the way home he stopped for ice cream and they talked while they ate their ice cream. Nicole hugged him and thanked him for all he'd done for her the past few days. Uncle Steve told her he was glad to help since he was often out of town and didn't get a chance to spend much time with Nicole or her family. He also told her he'd met a woman while they were at the hotel and that they had a date scheduled. Nicole laughed as she knew that Uncle Steve was sort of a playboy and was always going out with a different woman. Although she still missed Nathan, she was was feeling better after her talk with her uncle. They went back to the limo and he drove her home. He parked the car in front of her apartment and helped her out of the limo. He carried her bags inside, but had to leave for work so he said goodbye to Nicole and the rest of the family and left.
Nicole took her bags to her room and hung her dress from the dance in the closet. She took off her heels and jewelry and changed into a pair of short shorts and a tank top. She came back to the living room and sat down with her parents and sister and told her all about her day. She told them how she missed Nathan and they all told her of their breakup experiences. After they talked she told them she felt better and that she wanted to cook them dinner as Nicole before she changed back into Nick. She went to the kitchen and put on one of her mom's aprons and washed her hands. She went to the fridge and looked through the cupboards. After gathering all the ingredients she rolled out a pizza crust then covered it with toppings. She put it in the oven and washed her hands again and took off the apron. While the pizza cooked she went to her room and uploaded all of her pictures and videos from the last few days onto Facebook. She also recorded a final video as Nicole in which she talked about how much she enjoyed Swap Week and how she'd miss Nathan and all her friends. She looked down at the locket she was wearing and smiled. She logged out of her Nicole account for the last time until the next Swap Week then went to the kitchen to check on the pizza.
When the pizza was ready she set the table and called her family to the kitchen. They all told her how good the pizza was and she told them she might try cooking dinner sometime when she was Nick again. After dinner they watched some TV, then Nicole went to her bedroom to change for bed. It was late and all of Nick's stuff were still packed away, so she decided to spend one last night as Nicole and change back in the morning. She put on her night dress and removed her makeup. She put her locket on her nightstand and smiled as she drifted off to sleep. She was looking forward to returning to her life as Nick, but for the moment she was enjoying her time as Nicole.
