So life is a lil tricky

"Why did Caroline call to ask if you can come to her place?" My mom says after she opens the door to my room.
"Uhmmm...she said she wants me to come to her house? Oh?" I say, trying to play it cool.
"Don't you act like you don't know she called, I'm pretty sure that she called you first" she says sitting down on the edge of my bed.
"Well...do you want me to reply to that?" I rise my eyebrow, telling her with my eyes that she doesn't wanna hear the answer.
"No, thank you." She says rising her arms up.
"You know I sometimes wonder if Caroline is my best friend or yours"
"She can't be my best friend. We have a connection deeper than that and I guess that's why she is my godmother" I say to my mom with her wink.
My mom jokingly says, "but I'm your mother, no one can top that"
"Jealous are we??" I say mocking her. "Don't worry, luckily for ya I have the space for both of y'all in my heart" I say my mom with a kiss on her head, she laughs and kisses me back.
We talk and laugh while I pack for the weekend at Aunt C's place.

The past two days have been very tricky. Finding out about Mary's breakup with a guy from our school, Faith and Becca issue and Jake acting weird after seeing me with Mary.
the weekend to aunt C's place is very much needed.
***
Aunt C came a while ago and she's been catching up with mom and by catching up I mean gossiping.

So that left me with enough time to text Kevin and Becca.

To Kevin
Tomorrow I'm having ice cream and cute guy said he will buy it for me 😉😉

To Becca
Hey Girl...I miss ya 😩
Talk Too soon?
I love ya💜

"Nicki...Go start the car" a voice says right after I hit send and with that I went to take the keys from Aunt C and said my goodbyes to mom and my younger brothers.

I was closing the boot/trunk when I felt movement behind me. I turn around and come face to face with Brian.

"Brian the brain, You scared me" I say holding my chest to stop my heart from beating so hard.
" sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."
"No worries." I say smiling to him. He looked hot with black jeans paired with a white shirt and Dr Martens.
"Well.... look who looks fresh without his uniform" I say to Brian.
"Fresh?? I think I look pretty good" he jokingly says
"Well... that's true. You clean up well, Brian the brain"I say taking a good look at him. He actually was a pretty good looking guy, I knew he wasn't ugly but I didn't realize that he got hotter and more mature with time.

I realize that I've been staring for too long so I divert my attention to his eyes that looked even more intriguing.
"You grew up" I blurt out without really thinking. With that I quickly slap my hand over my mouth to block all the nonsense I'm saying.
"I mean...you didn't grow up, I mean you did. What I meant i-is uh well"
Brian laughs at me and tells me to relax as he gets what I'm saying, he looks at me up and down and tells me I've grown too, I couldn't help but I slap my face with embarrassment and laugh with Brian.

We were still laughing when Aunt C came out and found us by the car.
"Are you Nicole's boyfriend? If you are you better treat my baby well, she is not as tough as she says and she needs emotional support and love. She is a good girl and knowing her tells me that she wouldn't date you if you were a bad person."

If it was possible, I think I died of embarrassment right then and there. Could things get anymore awkward 😩?

"Aunt C, he is not my boyfriend." I simply say with defeat and embarrassment.
"Oh! Then why were you guys so cosy and happy. You guys should date, y'all look cute together" aunt C says as if she didn't give a whole take-care-of-my-baby speech and to make it worse, she turned to a very shocked and blushing Brian and asks
"Why aren't you dating Nicole, don't you like her?"
Brian looks at me then at Aunt C then me to show his confusion. I quickly push Brian away from aunt C and whisper an apology in his ear. He just laughed it off and said that I have a good aunt and I should keep her. It was confirmed, Brian is the most sweetest person in the world. That's if he will still talk to me after all of this.

I turn to aunt C who looks at me smirks at me and winks. "Seems like you got yourself a hottie"
"Argggggg! Aunt C, I thought you were cool, but not anymore. What was that?" I ask her still a lol pink from the embarrassment.
"Well.. I thought he was your boyfriend"
"Well, you thought wrong."
"Well, he likes you"
"Well, that's not tr-what? No no no no. Now you are clearly mistaken."
"Say what you want, I know love when I see one. Bring my Keys, we still have to fetch Kara from crèche/kindergarten." And with that she took the keys from my hand and started the car as if she didn't just tell me that Brian likes me.

Brian?? Likes me? That sounds crazy.

I turn to aunt C with determination and a confirmed look "He can't like me. He's Faith's long time crush. Remember the one I told you she prayed about?" I say defending myself. Brian couldn't like me, he was Faith's Man.
"Oh...that's the mysterious crush? I sense a love triangle"
"A what? Oh! Hell no. Faith likes Brian, Brian likes-"
"Brian likes you and you like Brian back" aunt C interrupts me.
"What??? No. I don't like Brian." I say getting in the passenger sit and with that we drive off.
"Why not? He's hot"She shoots
"He is, but I like someone else and that's why I have an ice cream date with him tomorrow " I say without thinking.
Shii now I will be interrogated by aunt C and knowing her, she will tell uncle Jack and that's means another interrogation.

What is happening today? I thought it would be my day.

"Oh my goodness!! You have a date? Oh my! Is he cute? Where is he taking you? You better-"

And the rest of the car ride consisted of me being interrogated in the most cruel way possible.

Though I was talking about Kevin with Aunt C, I couldn't help but wonder if really Brian likes me. Could he? And would that be the reason why Faith is mad at me?
