In Love with my Best Friend

CHAPTER FIVE

NIKKI'S P.O.V

It's clearly 8 pm and Mike hasn't arrived yet! I waited 5 minutes again when I heard the doorbell rang. I opened the door and saw a very pleasant and elegant man with matching hazel nut eyes and perfect body fit; a height that is between 6'1 or 6'2 and a dirty blonde hair! "Hey Nikki, long time no see" he gave me a perfect smile. "Excuse me? I mean who are you?" I asked. "Don't you remember me? Mike!" he responded. What? Mike? How could I remember him? He changed a lot! Last time I saw him was like he's shorter than me, a quiet type of guy and no abs! But I have a huge crush on him which I don't know why! "Really? A-ah! You've changed a lot!" I said amazingly. "Well, people change including you!" he smiled. How lovely his smile is! "So are you ready?" he asked. "Yes! I've been waiting for you to come, I thought you'll not show up" I teased. "Why would I do that?" he responded. He led me towards his Black Ferrari car; this is totally big time! How gentlemen! After I get into his car, he walked towards the driver seat and started the engine. "So, I've heard that Nick has arrived" he stated. "Yeah!" I answered. "Where is he? I thought you and Nick will end up being together" he smiled. "What? Are you crazy? I mean look! Nick has a girlfriend and besides I don't like him like that! He also changes from good to bad" I replied. "So you mean you don't have any boyfriend?" he asked. "Since birth" I replied. "How's that possible? You're gorgeous! No! I mean beautiful! Darn! I don't have the perfect word to describe you" he said. I blushed that's why I quickly look outside so that he would not find it out! After our conversation an awkward silence fill the car. I felt a flaming eyes staring at me, I felt shy and at the same time scared. I looked at the direction of those eyes and I see Mike smiling at me. "Why?" I asked. "Nothing! It's just you're still really beautiful" he smiled. I wanted to say something when he leaned down and kiss me slowly and passionately. I pulled out to take a deep breath; we both have a confused look and both laugh. "Why did you do that?" I asked. "I've been dying to kiss you since 7th grade" he answered shyly. "Really? I mean I thought you have a girlfriend" I said. "Nope! We just broke up" he answered. I can see that he's in pain right now, how could I make him feel better. "But kissing me can't do anything" I said. "I'm sorry" he said. "It's alright" I responded.

We arrived at Mich's party and he led me towards the door. We were surprised when we saw some of our friends back then. "Nikki, you're still beautiful" said Roland, one of my classmate on 8th grade. "Yeah! She's still the most beautiful alien" teased Mich. "Yeah! The undefined species has spoken" I teased back. Everybody laughed some started dancing and some were making out! GROSS! "Nikki? Are you alright?" Mike asked. "Yeah!" I replied. "You're already drunk!" he said. "Nah! I'm not, I'm just a little bit dizzy. Don't worry I can handle myself!" I responded. Were in the middle of sharing stories when Mich grabbed me "Nikki, I'm sorry to say but I have invited Nick and his girlfriend" she said. "Great!" I responded. "What's your problem if Nick is here?" Mike interrupts. "Nothing! We just have an argument because of his liar bitchy girlfriend" I responded. "Really? Is that the only problem?" Mich smirked. "What else do you want to know Mich?" I sigh. "You're jealous, aren't you?" Mike asked. "Nope! I'm just... I'm just mad of myself" I admitted. "Why?" Mich asked. "It's just, you know I've been waiting for him to come back. I've been homeschooled because I don't want to make new friends without him and suddenly POOF! He'll get back here telling everyone that he has a girlfriend!" I cried. "You're jealous?" Mike asked. "I hate to admit it but yes" I admitted. "Well tell him then!" Mich suggested. "How? I'm just his best friend! And he doesn't like me like that! Maybe it's better if I'll go home" I said. "No way!" Mich yelled. Before I could answer I felt an arms grabbing my waist, I turn around to saw who is it and surprisingly I saw Mike smirking. "Let's play the game then!" he said. "What?" I asked confusingly. I saw Mich smiled full of excitement and Mike smirking. "Tonight! We'll know if Nick has feelings for you!" Mich smiled. "I'm 100% sure he just loves me as his best friend and nothing more" I said. "We'll never know if we don't try!" Mike smiled.
