Chapter 2; (A/N - Short chapter, sorry. Anyways, enjoy!)
We chose to take the taxi home since I just got out of the hospital, and it was dead silent as we rode the taxi. I decided to blast my music so I’d feel less self-conscious. I was looking out the window at the evergreen trees when Nick popped up into my mind.
Nick.. My heart started sinking, and I couldn’t breathe. Tears started to build up, but I wasn’t going to start crying in front of arrogant jerk here. I’d probably hide in the attic corner and cry my heart out there; I always do, but then Nick would always come and cheer me up..
I shook my head, and slapped both my cheeks a few times. That’s when the song ‘Together’ started to play. That’s the song that Nick made; his dream is to be a famous singer, and mine’s was to dance along with him in his MV’s.
I was on the urge of changing the song, but a familiar figure caught the corner of my eyes. I turned my head to check, and there Nick was. He was making out with a blonde, and I can pretty much guess who she was; Zoey. He claimed that she was ‘just an acquaintance’, but I guess he lied.
The tears that I’ve been trying so hard to trap have finally betrayed me. They came rushing down like the Niagara Falls, and before I knew it, I couldn’t control myself.
I heard the jerk mutter something, but I wasn’t really sure what. My music’s blasting so loud, and I was too traumatized to say anything.
The jerk probably got annoyed, and turned around to check on me. His expression was stunned, and his mouth hung open.
“Are – you – okay?” I read the words from his moving lips.
I didn’t say anything, and I was way too weak to even hold my body up now.
I think I collapsed or something. My whole mind is blank, and my eyelids feel heavy. The funny thing though is that I could hear my favourite songs playing even when I’m dreaming. The voice, the words, and the melody all sound so genuine. I must really love the songs, because I’m going crazy. Heck, I even dream about my songs!
“Elise” I hear someone calling my name.
“Answer me” the voice said again.
Who is it? Who’s calling me? I’m right here.
“Elise” the voice sounded more worrisome now.
Could it be Nick?
“Nick?” I said softly.
Could it really be him?
“Is it really you Nick?” I said a bit louder this time.
The voice didn’t respond. An image of Nick appeared in my mind, and it was slowly vanishing from my mind, soon, all that’s left was.. I didn’t know what it was actually. Another image started to appear closer. I squinted my eyes to make out the image, and to my dismay, an ugly beast appeared in my vision.
That jerk.
I screamed as loud as I could, and I hit something hard as I was screaming.
“GEE, it’s nice to see you too” the jerk mimicked sarcastically.
“Beast” I rolled my eyes, and ignored him.
I wanted to take a long hot shower but I realised my CD player was on. It was playing Meant To Be right now too. No wonder the song popped up into my mind.
That’s funny. I swear I didn’t have the CD of NJ Jammer.
“Where’d you get that?” I asked eagerly.
“I though he didn’t have any CDs out!” I said sceptically.
“Oh, now you want to talk to this beast?” the jerk rolled his eyes at me this time.
This brat..
“Oh handsome, charming young man, how oh how did you get your lovely, masculine hands on this divine CD?” I said sweetly. I was also clutching onto my stomach ‘cause just saying this wanted to make me barf.
“Hmm, let’s see.” He rubbed his chins a few times and tapped his feet a few times as well.
Must. Be. Patient. It’s worth it.
I was on the verge of decking that guy in the face; if it wasn’t for the CD, I would’ve done so already.
“NOT TELLING.” He finally snorted at the end.
That pissed me off. I got my fists, and slammed it onto his face, but he caught my fist in time, and dodged my punch.
He held onto my balled fists, and had a tight grip on me. I felt embarrassed to have him over power me, so I kicked him hard on his knees. Unfortunately, he has horrible balancing skills. After I kicked him as hard as I could afford, his body came launching down at mine.
His hard chest landed on me with a hard thud, and I nearly couldn’t breathe. I looked up to tell him to get off me but I noticed that I was gazing into his eyes. His emerald eyes pierced into mine, and I noticed the lack of space between us. I felt my lips on something soft, and I realised that his lips met mine.
His lips were so full and luscious, and so se– what am I thinking?!
While his lips were on mine though, I felt little electricity shocks and I was kind of excited. I’ve never felt that with Nick before.. Heck, we never even kissed before.
Why was that?
We gazed a bit more, but something poked me near my thighs, and it ruined the moment.
“Uh, I’m gonna do – I mean use the toilet” he stuttered. His expression was hard to make out, but he looked like he was trying to hold back something.
I saw him walk off to the opposite direction of the washroom, and I was going to tell him, but I figured it’d be more fun to have him find it himself.
Anyways, what was that little poke?.. I can’t have bugs or mice in here, can I?..
I left that as a mystery and started cleaning the house. I made sure everything was squeaky clean so there weren’t bugs flying around.
I’ve been cleaning for about two hours now, and the jerk still hasn’t gone to the toilet. He’s been staying in Nick’s room actually. It’s packed with singing equipments that I bought him, and laptops to organize his voice, along with daily essentials. Nick might’ve packed some though, who knows.
But right now, I’m more worried about the jerk not using the toilet, I don’t want to clean that room too, if you know what I mean. In short terms, I just hope that he doesn’t have a small bladder.
I looked at the clock, and it was almost four in the afternoon, one more hour till work. I decided to take a nice hot bath before going to work. After cleaning the apartment, I deserve to have some leisure too.
I made my way to the washroom, and locked the door. I started to strip down my clothes, and turned the water on. I set it to heat water, and when I felt content with the temperature, I plugged my bath tub. I poured my favourite peach scented body wash into the tub, and went in.
I sat there in the warm water enjoying myself. The steam from the hot water surfaced my skin, and it felt so nice. I started to close my eyes, and just sat there, thinking. I drifted off thinking about a blissful place, and enjoyed the water clash against my skin as I waved my foot around.
This feels so nice..
As I was sitting, I heard a spraying noise.
What the hell?
I sat up, alert. Is there a leak in my tub? I searched around, and felt the tub for any cracks. I felt nothing.
It can’t be leaking from the outside, can it?! I don’t have the money to repair!
I swung the curtains open to see if there were any leaks, but instead, I was faced with hairy legs.
I slowly looked up hoping that this was all a dream, and I’d wake up soon. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. As I looked up, I was greeted with a pair of emerald eyes.. Oh, and something saggy..
