Happily Forever After (Nick & Demi) (Nemi)

IV : But I Shouldn't Have Come

Demi

Nothing more happened after that sweet innocent kiss.. We kept kissing for a while until I fell asleep in his arms.. it was just that.. innocent kisses.. innocent touching.. innocent love..

The next morning was like nothing had happened, but at the same time, like everything did

We didn't mention our previous night once but we were more flirty with eachother but not until the point where we could be mistaken by a couple

After that night Nick always seemed to find a small period of time where he would call me and ask if I wanted to hang out.. he never mentioned it as a "date" though..

We hung out a few times.. getting a coffee, having lunch.. many different activities

But always as friends.. who occasionally said some flirty jokes and stuff

We would go to rehearsals together every two weeks and I would always end up staying at his house, sleeping in the same bed..

You thought that I, being the confrontational person that I am, would've by now asked him what we were and have serious talk.. but the truth is.. he was so different.. and after all that has been happening..

I preferred to live in a lie right now.. I preferred being delusional.. I wanted him to lead me on because I wanted human connection

And I wanted it from Nick

The big day finally came around.. Nick was obviously going with Joe in a limousine to the church so I had to get there on my own

Marissa and my sisters along with my mom and Sirah were all there helping me get ready to go.. My stylist and my make up artist were working on me while I talked with my family about how excited I was to go to the wedding..

My dad eventually came back from answering his phone and sat down looking a little nervous.. but I couldn't really understand why.. I asked him if everything is alright and he gave me the biggest smile I had ever seen

- Yeah.. It's just.. you look really beautiful.. even more than how you look at all the celebrity things..

We all busted out laughing and kept talking for a while..

The time to go finally arrive so I got in my car.. my dad and my mom taking me and my sisters to the church.. they were also going to watch the wedding ceremony at the church but they couldn't stay for the reception since they had to go to another state to take Maddie to one of her friend's birthday..

When I arrived, my first thought was obviously "Where the hell is Nick?"

People came to greet me and tell me I looked beautiful and that made my day.. I went to Dani who was also waiting for Kevin and we talked for a while... Alena was apparently with Sophie's family while Valentina was with her sister Dina

The limousine with the boys finally arrived and my breath hitched.. Danielle must've sensed it because the next thing I know is hearing her tell me that Nick and I are meant to be..

- Hum.. not really.. we're not.. Nick is too scared to ruin our friendship.. - I answered her stuttering

She turned her body to me, gave me a smile and caressed my arm - It's just a phase.. I can see that you feel things for him.. anyone could.. you both don't leave eachother for one second at the rehearsals.. Don't worry Demi.. he is going to wake up.. - she smiled giving me a side hug - I see they way you look at eachother.. you look in love.. both of you..

I gave her a shy smile and nodded not fully believing her - Thank you for your kind words Danielle.. I really do feel things for him.. - I said looking around until my eyes found him - Really deep.. complicated.. feelings
