Taming Nicholas

Chapter Twenty-Four

Monday After School

"Please?" I pleaded.

"No." Nicholas said firmly, he walked even faster to his car.

"Why?" I asked, running after him.

"Its dangerous...Did I not tell you that?" Nick asked as we crossed the road.

"Of course you did. But I can umm...dress up as a boy."

"NO! Now I don't want to hear another word of it." Nicholas said angrily.

"Fine. I replied. I stopped in the middle of the road.

"Good." He said, without looking back at me.

I stomped my foot in frustration.

Then all of a sudden I was pushed out of the way and I fell to the side, on my face, with somebody on top of me.

Thank God the parking lot was mostly empty. Most of the students had gone home...Nick and I were here late again because we got a detention for talking loudly in class and disrupting the class. We've been having that one conversation since lunch time...

So yea..back to the point where somebody was on top of me.

"Are you crazy?! Why did you stand up in front of the car that was coming directly towards you? Do you want to die?!" The person yelled.

"Cant...breathe." I stuttered out.

"Oh sorry." The person got off me and helped me stand up.

I finally got to see who it was.

Kyle...

"Hey." I said breathlessly.

"Don't hey me! You almost died...."

"I didn't see the car." I mumbled.

"Oh yea...so what were doing that made you narrowly miss death?" Kyle asked, smirking.

"Being mad at Nick. He wont take me to the place where he does street fighting." I said, pouting slightly.

"You know what? You are crazy....Why would you wanna do that?"

 "I've never  seen it before.." I muttered.

"So? Watch a movie about it...

"No..."

"Melissa you cant just...Wait! Wait! Wait!" He exclaimed.

"What?" I said feeling irritated now. He was practically shouting in my ear.

"He told you?" He whispered.

"Yea..." I said uncertainly

"Everything?" He inquired with a shocked and concerned expression on his face.

"Yea...and now I'm regretting it.' Nicholas said as he startled me by hugging me from behind.

"Hey you should thank me. I saved your girlfriend's butt from being run over by a BMW."  Kyle said with a disapproving look.

Nick asked quickly," Are you okay?"

Before I could answer Kyle said, "She's fine...did you not here me mention the part where I said I saved her butt?"

I rolled my eyes and Nicholas shook his head.

Kyle continued,"And you are definitely not bringing her to the place."

"I wont.." Nicholas stated as he let me go he walked to my side.

"What place?" I asked, already missing his touch.
