That Necklace

Diana Brown

Nick's POV

"So, then she told me she didn't want to be in a relationship anymore and..." Oliver's voice became fainter and fainter as my eyes roamed the streets of New York. All the girls' eyes immediately turned to mine. I could've sworn some girls were about to faint from my hotness. Well, I am a pretty good-looking guy if I say so myself. Oliver, my best friend, and I were exploring new parts of New York City. Hey, it was a Saturday, so why not?

"Dude, are you even listening?" Oliver's voice startled me, bringing me back to earth. My head turned to his. "Oh, yeah... no... yeah...?" I scratched my head confusedly. What was he talking about? "...No?" I admitted at last. Oliver smacked my head. "Well, I'm telling you how me and Grace broke up!" Oliver spat. I nodded my head. "Oh, yeah, yeah. Go on." I plastered on a fake smile across my face. "Dude, this is so boring. I don't want to listen to Oliver's 'important' story about his 'tragic' breakup." I thought. It was true though. I would listen to Oliver's story only if I was paid.

 "Dude look, that is a real hot chick!" Oliver said, pointing at a gorgeous blonde-haired girl. I whistled."I'm going to get that chick's number, and get her in my bed," I laughed. "I mean, have you seen my abs? Any girl will fall for me!"

"Um, Nick... I don't think that's a good idea." Oliver said. 

"Oh, so you're challenging me? All right. I bet that at the end of summer, I'll have that girl in my bed." I challenged. 

Oliver threw his head back and let out a laugh."Okay, then." He snorted doubtfully.  

I walked towards the girl and poked her gently. Her golden-coloured hair slapped my face gently as she turned to me. "Oh, I'm sorry!" She apologised quickly. "It's all right, babe." I winked. She raised her eyebrow. "Babe? What am I, your doll? You must be mistaking me for your girlfriend!" She spat. I blinked my eyes a few times. God, this girl was smart if she didn't fall under my spell. I quickly came up with a comeback.
"Well, I mean, if you want to be my doll, you can always tell me, baby..." I smirked. The girl slapped me with her purse.

"Listen, dude. I'm not stupid. I know when I see a player, and I can sense you are one." She hissed. 

"Girl, my name isn't dude, it's Nick. Nick Hemsworth."

"And my name isn't girl! It's Diana Brown! Now get lost, we're probably never going to meet up again anyway."

"Oh no, Diana, we will." I whistled innocently.

"Okay, Nick, I am not going to end up in your bed if that's what you're thinking right now. I'm a really smart woman and I don't fall for guys like you that easily. Goodbye." Diana snapped. But just as she turned around to walk away, I grabbed her arm and whispered into her ear:

"You may be smart right now, but either way, you will be mine."

Diana frowned. I loosened my grip of her arm. She stormed away. I walked back towards Oliver. He was laughing. "Oh my God, not even a day and I won the bet! You didn't even get her number!" Oliver said between laughs. I rolled my eyes. "It's not the end, White. You know it's not. The bet isn't over yet..." I smiled deviously. Oliver stopped laughing. "Nick, don't do this. Diana is a really pretty girl. Don't ruin her reputation." Oliver said, seriously. I laughed at the sight of him being serious. 

"Since when did you care about Diana Brown?" I chuckled.

"Since today?"

"Oliver, what's gotten into you?"

"Nothing. I just think you're going over the top."

"Me? Over the top? Oh shut up, Oliver, this is just the beginning. I'll get her in my bed, even if it means being involved in fights. I will win her heart; you'll see. Then she'll be left heartbroken after. And, if I'm lucky, still in love with me."

Oliver shook his head. "Let's call this a day and go home." He sighed. I agreed. The thought of going home sounded really nice. I was exhausted, my legs couldn't support my body anymore.
