In Love with my Best Friend

CHAPTER ELEVEN

NIKKI'S P.O.V

I felt the heat burning on my arms and my legs are surrounded by long legs, as I open my lazy eyes I saw my best friend embracing me tight. Last night was fun, I got my best friend back though he reveals that Myka and him are done and I well... I met my first crush or love or whatsoever again! But the most confusing part was why the hell Nick asked me about my feelings! Why now? I'm totally confused about this but I need to be fair. Clint taught me to forget my feelings about Nick and well actually not totally but I do really need to forget my feelings for him?

I unwrapped myself from his embrace put unfortunately he hugged me tighter. "Hey! Are you trying to kill me?" I snap. "Hmmm... I just miss the olden days where you and I used to do this" he mumbled. "GET UP! I'm hungry" I muttered. He slowly releases me and cocooned to my side, I was again able to see his perfect face. "Amuse by my face best?" he snaps. "Amuse yourself! Get up now; we need to be ready for tonight!" I shouted. He quickly gets up and pouted, why he's so cute while doing that kind of face dance. "What's the time?" he asks. I look at my clock on my bedside table and holy shit! It's already 6 in the afternoon! We only got 3 hours to prepare. "We over slept!" I mouth. He frowns and gazes to my clock, and then I giggle looking his pale face. "Why so pale Nick?" I tease. "Shut up you shorty! We really do overslept! I must go home and prepare my stuff, see you this evening" before I could response, his nowhere in sight! That really was fast.

I decided to walk to my bathroom and take a quick shower and by means of quick just 10 minutes shower. As the water sooths in my body I snap back about the revelation last night about Nick and Myka. Why so sudden? Why now? Now, that I already ugh! How frustrating, maybe this is the sign that Nick and I are just best friends and no more!

I finished my bath and quickly put on my black jeans and white shirt. I looked at the mirror and I saw the innocent happy girl back then. People do change, especially me. I put some lip gloss and eye liner then I'm done. I wear a pair of high-cut black converse shoes. Now It's perfect, I'm like a rock-star that so afraid to sing in front of people. I heard a knock on my door. "Come in" I mutter. The door open and Clint is standing there. "Good morning" he says shyly. "Good morning" I turned around to look at him and give him a bear hug. "How's your sleep?"

"Well, I have this weird dream though" he raises his hand towards his check. "What kind of weird dream?" I look at him quizzically. "Well, in my dream you told me that you love me. It's just a dream right?" he pouted. Oh! Now, he's playing games with me. I roll my eyes and giggle. He's really crazy! "Is my dream amuses you my bride?"

"A little bit my groom" I giggle. We stare at each other and then burst out laughing. "You know, you better eat your let me think ahh! Breakfast, lunch and dinner; All in one" he smirk. "I know right, I really overslept!" "Is it just you or?"

My mouth drops open. "Don't be shocked about it Nikki, I know Nick slept with you" he sighs. "Well, yeah! I missed him and besides he ask me something weird last night about my feelings for you" "Your feelings for me?"

I flush about the topic, I quickly looked down so that he'll never notice my red-like-tomato face. Unfortunately, he grabs my chin so now we're face to face. "Why are you blushing? What was your feeling for me Nikki?" he asks seriously with blue eyes staring at mine. I really don't know now, I'm so confused. Do I love him? Or I just shock that I saw him again but what about Nick? "I'm waiting" he mutters.

"I---- uhm! I don't know" I admit. "You don't know what?" he asks confusingly still looking at me. I push him away because I can't hold on his gaze, it's like burning to my head and makes me feel crazy about his question. "Nikki?" he sighs. "Look, I really don't know yet. Maybe I loved you but I love Nick or just..."

"You can't love two guys at the same time Nikki. I tell you, I'm still waiting" he action to leave my room when. "I LOVE YOU" did I really just say that? After a blink of my eye my lips was on Clint's I feel loved, lust, excitement and ---. We both pushed each other when we heard a footsteps stop in front of us. Holy cow! Nick, he's here!

Nick looked at me directly, with blazing eyes and unpredicted expression. "Nick" that's just the only words I can say by now. "I think I disturbed the new couples" he said dryly without leaving his gaze on me. I looked at Clint and his also in shock, then "Not really, you just came in time" Clint smile. What should I do? But who cares? Clint is now my boyfriend and Nick is now my best friend; that's just it!

"Why don't you introduce me to your boyfriend Nikki?" Nick nods at Clint. I literally freeze.

NICK'S P.O.V

After I left at Nikki's house, I quickly go home. I saw Myka packing her things up and she told me that she'll just wait for me and Nikki in the airport, she needs to do something. After we have the conversation, I quickly pack my things never wasting a second. I must be hurry to go back at Nikki's house; I wanted to go to the seashore, where we used to talk something serious and because I wanted to tell her my feelings there, even though it's complicated. I'm finished packing my things, mom and dad went at Nikki's house first then I follow them. I put my pack up stuffs inside my car and drive carefully.

I arrived at Nikki's house and I saw our parent's laughing in the kitchen. "Where's Nikki?" they all turn around to look at me "She's still in her bedroom" her mom said gracefully. I smile at them and turn my head to the stairs. "By the way, Clint is with her" her dad shouts. I was shocked and not moved because the two news hits me directly to my heart. First, Nikki's dad told me that Clint is with her and now this? Seeing their lips together, my best friend kissing other man? I don't know what to do. Should I run? Should I punch this man?

But I heard her, I heard Nikki say that she loves Clint.

We had some kind of faked I'm-happy-for-my-best-friend conversation.

"Nick, you know him already, why bother introduce?" she whisper. "Well, yeah!" that's all that I can say. "Why are you here?" the asshole has spoken. "Well, uhm! I wanted to ask Nikki if she's ready to go" I nod at Nikki. "Well, yes. I'm ready to go" and about 5 minutes there's an awkward silence in the air.

"I better go downstairs so I could give you some privacy" I lied, I don't really want to leave but what's the point? She already chooses Clint and it's my entire fault. If I just damn admit the fact that I already fall in love with her since the day I came back and not after the sex thing! "Sure, I'll be downstairs later best" she smiles at me. "Clint" I nod at him. "Nick" he nods back.

I look away at them and went straight downstairs. I can feel a stab at my back; I can feel my tears attempting to give up. I want to stay away from here but I don't want to be weak. I sat down at the couch waiting patiently for Nikki and Clint to get down. When I jump out of the couch because of Nin, seriously? "Why so silent Nick?" she mutter. "As a matter of fact that I'm just alone in this living area and no one to have some conversations with" I tease but the pain strikes back. "Don't deny it Nick, honestly it's obvious and I saw what happen last night and tonight"

"Then why are you asking?" I snap. "Don't give up with my sister; she didn't give up with you. Not until today, I think" I frown and mouth drops open. What does she mean? "Well, I mean. I don't like Clint like that, It's better that you'll be my sister's only one prince charming or whatsoever" Hell, yeah! She really does read my mind? So is this mean that I got her blessing?

"Yes! And please don't over think things, I'm not a mind reader but I like reading books that's why I know what are you thinking when I say some unbelievable words" she smirks. She maybe younger than me but she really has a point. I smile at her but she rolls her eyes. "Remember what I told you"

I nod at her and sigh could I make it? Nikki already gives up. "Nick, it's about time" I jerk out and see all of them in the living area. I haven't notice them there, did they hear our conversation? I scan the faces and now I'm looking at the eyes of Nin. "Nick and I just have a little talk" thanks for that Nin.

We said our goodbyes to one another, my parents and Nikki's parents will visit us sometimes. Clint as well will visit us there every second week of the month. We both get inside the taxi and went to our destination, to the airport.
