I'm in Love With My Best Friend
Fearless Pinoy
I'm In Love with my Best Friend (COMPLETE)
Beginning
“Are you freaking kidding me?!” With a shock tone she glanced to her best friend Nick. He was a very nice man; he’s a 6ft tall and had a tan skin, with a combination of bluish-greenish eyes; he’s the Mr. Perfect of their batch and most girls liked to be with him except to his best friend Nikki.
“You know I never kid” with a low voice answered Nick. “I’ll be leaving soon, about a week or two.” he stared at Nikki. She is the Ms. Perfect of their batch; her popularity is unbelievable, guys with loved to be with her and girls wanted to be like her.
Nikki and Nick we’re BFF’s since the day they wear diapers. Coincidentally, they both have the same birthdate, they grew in the same village and their families we’re really closed. They both have the biggest opposites, some would say they really we’re perfect for each other but they would just laugh to it. For them, they will never be more than BFF. They treat each other as siblings, Nikki and Nick doesn’t find any attraction from one another which makes them comfortable. But the difference between other BFF into theirs was; they sometimes don’t want to hang out together.
“Why so sudden?” asked Nikki. Actually, I’m used to be left alone by Nick because I know he’ll come back but about his leaving? I can’t handle it!
“Dad and Mum have planned to set another Branch of our Business in New York, and besides opportunities comes once in a lifetime that’s why they grab it!” explained Nick.
“New York? It is like a thousand miles away. Are you coming back, aren’t you?” asked Nikki with a tone of doubt.
“Yes, but I don’t know when maybe five years or more.” respond by him. He doesn’t want to go, but for the sake of their business he has no choice. Family is still important.
“Well, It’s alright even though you’re there you still communicate with me right my BFF?!” teased by Nikki.
“Ah! Let’s see, maybe? I don’t know. HAHAHAHAHA!” teased by him. “Don’t worry, you’ll never be replaced and we still live here, we’ll just stay there for a little while.”
“I know! That’s why I’m not worried.” said Nikki. How could I be worried? We used to be far even though we’re best friends.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Two weeks after (Departure Time)
Hey! Big head, try to write me ok?!” teased by Nikki.
“You don’t have a mailbox shorty!” Nick teased her back.
“Don’t worry Nikki, we’ll send you mails. I already talked to your Mum and she said it’s alright!” said by Nick’s mom.
“Don’t sweat for it Tita!” answered Nikki.
The flight bound to New York is now on board, calling the passengers to get going…
“So this is it Nikki, no teardrops okay?!” smiled Nick as he glances to Nikki one last time.
“Who told you that I will put a tear when you leave? Don’t you know I’m strong and I can manage myself big head!” smiled Nikki.
“Hey Tita, always remind Nikki to cut her nails, brush her teeth, wash her face and not burp! HAHAHAHAHAHA!” called Nick to Nikki’s mom.
“Don’t worry Nick I will.” responded by Nikki’s mom.
The flight bound to New York is now on board, calling the passengers to get going…
“Okay honey, we’ll get going see you 10 years after.” bid by Nick’s dad.
“Wait what?! 10 years after?! Tito?!” asked Nikki with a frowned face.
“I’m really not sure Nikki, but we’ll give you an update, after all you’re like our daughter.” answered Nick’s dad.
“See you then Nikki.” bid Nick.
He hugged and kissed her on her forehead, he also gave her the most precious pendant Nick ever had. Nikki still on shocked knowing that her best friend will be gone for 10 years. What If they’ll never see each other again? What if Nick will find a new best friend? What if? They we’re only 15 years old and when they’ll see each other again, they will be in their 20’s.
As Nikki watched the airplane fly, she just smiled and cried. She didn’t notice that she’s crying until her mom and dad hugged her and wiped her tears.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
The first three years were so fine about the communication between her and Nick, but when the fourth year came it suddenly changed. Nikki hasn’t received any mails from Nick, she’s wondering why? Then telling herself that may be Nick was just busy to write. She wrote him but got no reply. Nikki then suddenly begun to wonder.
CHAPTER ONE
NIKKI’S P.O.V
“What’s going on to this big head, why he doesn’t mail me anymore?” I asked myself about it. “Nikki, breakfast’s ready I already called you 10 times” I didn’t even notice that my mom’s calling me for the nth time. “I’m coming mom.” I answered.
Mom was the one who served our meal every day. “Did he write you back?” I was shocked when mom asked it to me. Well, aside from Nick I also tell some things to my mom. “Nah! May be he’s so busy to write back.” I answered with a low voice full of wonder. “Hey, baby we have a family matter to talk.” called by my dad. I didn’t even notice him in the kitchen. “Huh? What is it all about?” I asked. Yeah! Well, I didn’t introduce you to my family yet. My dad is the CEO of MAC company, as you can see we’re not that poor. My mom runs a business of her own; she’s one of the greatest fashion designers in the whole wide world. I have a baby sister, well! She’s not a baby anymore though I’m just 4 years older than her. Her name was Nin, she’s beautiful like. (Come to think of it!)
“Well, dad wants you to go to Hawaii just to manage some MAC business there.” said Nin. “Hawaii? Dad! You know that I don’t want to leave this place, not this time NEVER!” shouted Nikki. “Baby, you’ll never stay here forever. You also need to explore the world, go to other countries, talk to other people.” said Dad. Well, he’s right. Since Nick left I never get out of our house, well I only used to go outside to go to church or buy some necessary things. I also used to be homeschooled, for the reason that I don’t want to have new friends not until Nick will come back.
“Oh! Sweetie, it’s not all about Nick. You also need to look for new friends because you know in your heart that Nick will be your very best friend.” hugged by mom. “Come on big sister, you’re 19 you don’t even have boyfriends yet! I know, I’d help you choose.” teased by my younger sister. Then again they’re right! I don’t have time for myself; I keep on waiting for Nick to response for over a year. Yeah! I need to move on, if he forgets about me so do I!
“Hey! Nikki?” shouted by Mom. “She’s day dreaming mommy. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” teased by Nin. “NO I’m not! I’m just wondering why Nick hasn’t mailed me yet” I told them. “Big sister, don’t you worry about that may be he’s just busy of their business” said Nin.
“Well, yeah! Uhm! Mum! Can I go to a party?” I asked mum and even smiled when I saw her on a frown face. “Oh dear, well yes of course” answered mom.
“Yehey! Now my big sister is moving on!” said Nin happily. “Hey! Moving on? Well, Nick is just my Best Friend and not my Boyfriend.” I said. She just smiled and eats her bread. I wonder what she’s thinking. There’s no way that I will be in love with my Best Friend NEVER! NO WAY!
NICK’S P.O.V
“Hey Nick, aren’t you coming with us back to our village?” asked mom. “We’re going home tomo
rrow morning” said dad. “Nah! I need to go to Myka’s part tomorrow mom” I said. Since I left home, I don’t want to go back on that village anymore. “Myka again?” asked dad. “Well, yeah! You know she’s my girlfriend and I don’t want to leave her here. If I’ll come I must asked her to come with us” I answered. “Come with us?” they both asked. I know that they don’t like Myka because of her attitude but what can I do? I like her, she likes me and I don’t really care of what they’re thinking. “Look Nick you haven’t even answered Nikki’s mail because of Myka’s jealous thing and you want her to come with us?” ask mom. Well she’s right, since me and Myka begun dating I forget Nikki because Myka is so jealous of her. At first I can still handle it and keep telling her that Nikki is just my best friend but she said that she will broke up with me if I will continue mailing Nikki again. “Nick? Hey buddy! Are you listening?” asked dad. “Yup! I’m listening. That’s why I want to bring her with us so that she’ll know that Nikki’s just my sister, I mean my best friend yet I treat like my younger sister” I said.
“Here read this, you don’t need to worry about Nikki anymore.” mom looked at me with sadness. She gave me a letter from Nikki, I read it and it says:
Nick,
I know that you’re not thinking of me anymore. I bet that even I’ll write you this letter; you will not write back. Well, that’s alright I’m not expecting it anyway. Hey! I just want you to know that this will be the last letter that I will send to you, after this you will never heard news from me. I can’t wait for my best friend anymore; dad wants me to move in other country, which will be unknown to you. Thanks for being such a damn great best friend I will never miss you! NEVER!
How can you do this to me? I hate you so much! You’ve changed and I don’t know why! You’re just like other guys! You never keep your promise and you never will.
P.S. “I DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU ANYMORE!
Nikki
After I read the letter a tear drops and I started crying. I can’t question her for being mad at me. I just can’t accept the fact that I hurt her so much that gives her a reason to hate me this much. “Mom, when did this letter arrive?” I asked seriously. “Dear! This morning” my mom answered sadly. I ran to my room and slam the door. I just dive on my bed and sleep; I don’t want to think for a day.
CHAPTER TWO
NIKKI’S P.O.V
I always wake up late even though I sleep early; this is the biggest problem when it comes to early birds. “Nikki lunch is ready” called mom. I hopped out of my bed and head towards my closet; I took a quick shower and dry up myself; I wear the most incredible experiment style of mine (I also used to design dresses). “Nikki? Lunch is ready for the nth time” shouted mom.
Wait? What? Lunch? Oh my! I really woke up late.
I need to go to the mall to buy stuff for next week trip. Did Nick receive my letter? Ugh! So what if he did received it! He’ll never respond to it anyway. When I’m still in my day dream my younger sister surprised me…
“Big Sister, big sister, big sister” called my little sister. “What? Why in a hurry my little princess? I know that I’m late so don’t be surprised!” I teased and laughed at her. “No! I have some kind of good & bad news” she said. “Oh? So you’re now a reporter?” I chuckled. “Hey! Seriously and I don’t know if you’ll be happy or mad or whatever!” she said while catching her breathe. “Well, that’s quiet intriguing; well then, tell me” I smiled. “But first don’t be surprised! Ok?” she warned. “Ok!” I quickly answered. “Nick is on downstairs waiting for you” she said nervously. HUH?! Nick? What the hell is he doing here? “Ah! Okay” I said. “So you’re not mad or whatever?” she asked. “Nope? I’ll go downstairs in a minute” I bid. She just walked out and left. I thought I will be happy if he’ll come back but I felt hatred and a little bit mad.
I quickly ran downstairs and say “hi” to Nick’s mom. I saw Nick smiling at me but I just ignore him. I really don’t know what’s happening to me. I noticed a girl sitting on the couch and smiling at me. Who the hell is she? I don’t recognize her, Well I don’t care. “Hey Nikki, you’re so tall now and you’re beautiful than before. The last time I saw you, you’re shorter than me” complimented by Nick’s mom. I smile just a sign of response. “Well she’s a grown up now” said mom. “Where’s Dad?” I asked. “He’s in his office honey with Nick’s father, they we’re talking about something very important” mom answered. “Hey shorty, we’ll I guess I can’t call you that pet name anymore; Now you’ve grown tall but unfortunately not taller than me” teased Nick. I just put a fake smile and ignored him, I head to the kitchen to grab some drinks and left them in the living room.
NICK’S P.O.V
I felt guilty and hurt when she ignored me. Yeah! It’s my fault but I don’t want to end our friendship. NOT THIS DAY, NOT THIS TIME, NOT IN MY LIFETIME. “What happen between you two?” asked Myka. I was shocked when she asked it to me; I mean I didn’t expect it. “Hmmm… nothing, she just misses me. That’s all, right Tita?” I asked Nikki’s mom. “Yeah! Nikki was like Nick’s sister, they always spend their time together” answered Nikki’s mom. “But that thing was change since the day you left her. Big sister is a loner! She doesn’t want to talk to other people anymore” yelled by a girl just about 4 years younger than me. “Well, well, well! Nin? You’ve grown now” said mom. “Nin? You mean baby Ninny?” I asked. “Yes Nick, she’s the baby girl you used to borrow like a toy HAHAHAHAHA!” Nikki’s mom laughed. “I’m not a baby anymore, and I would prefer to call me Nin rather than Ninny” Nin shouted with a pout, so cute. She must be really angry for her sister, which in the other hand makes me happy because I thought that since the day I left there’ll be no one protecting Nikki. We heard footsteps from the hallway and glad to see Nikki. She’s more beautiful now, with a perfect body and a height of like 5’8, a perfect brown hair that makes her more attractive. She’s so incredible, I might fall for her. WAIT? WHAT DID I JUST say? NO WAY! She’s my best friend and nothing more.
“Honey, why don’t you talk to Nick and Myka while I, Nin and Nick’s mom will go to the alfresco to prepare the table” her mom said. I heard Nikki groaned but soon walked towards us. “Whatever you say mom!” she responded. “Great honey, see you in a bit” her mom bid. My mom, Nikki’s mom and Nin head quickly to the alfresco.
NIKKI’S P.O.V
Shit! I’m so not getting over with this! Why is he here? I hate him! He really ruined my day!
“So you’re Nikki?” asked the girl, if I remember her name was Myka. She’s about two years younger than me. She’s tall, white skin with matching baby blue eyes, owns a perfect curly hair that just fit to her. “Haven’t you heard? Or is it not the obvious?” I replied. Now! Where are my manners? But whatever I don’t need to explain myself to anybody.
“Uhh! Hey look girls! Ahm… Myka she’s Nikki and Nikki she’s Myka my girlfriend” Introduced Nick. Wait what did he say? Myka was his girlfriend? I’m so not his best friend anymore. “Well, nice to meet you Nikki. Nick talks so much about you. How…” I cut her off. “Really?
But I guess I need to say sorry of whosoever are you; your boyfriend didn’t tell HIS USED TO BE BEST FRIEND that he already got a girlfriend” I answered. “Nikki…” Nick wanted to say something when suddenly my little sister shouted. “Lunch is ready” we all nodded and walk to the alfresco. I let them walked first so now I was behind them! Is this really the role of a used to be best friend or friend? Shit! This is the best horrible day ever!
NICK’S P.O.V
As we arrived at the alfresco we quickly take a sit; and as I concluded Nikki will be sitting next to me and Myka will be sitting next to Nin. In fact, this will be a great opportunity to talk to her again when suddenly… “Nin, why you’re not sitting beside me?” asked Nikki. “Honey dear, don’t you remember that those chairs where named after the two of you?” said Nikki’s mom. “I also heard that too, Nick told me that it was the sign of your friendship” smiled mom. “You t
wo we’re really great best friends” said Myka. “Ugh? Excuse me? USED TO BE BEST FRIENDS and F.Y.I we’re not that great!” said Nikki. Damn! Nikki will never embarrass me, well not ‘til today. “Yeah, I mean it’s all in the past and look we’ve grown now; we’re not kids anymore” I smile. “Well, great now Myka you mind if we’ll switch places?” Nikki asked sarcastically. She’s so horrible, upset! Crazy! Ugh! She’s ruining everything! “No not at all” Myka replied. “Excellent!” Nikki smirked.
We eat lunch happily except Nikki; I mean she used to laugh but when I will start the conversation again she’ll ignore me. SHIT! I miss my best friend, she’s so near yet I can’t even hug her or even hold her.
CHAPTER THREE
NIKKI’S P.O.V
“Nikki, breakfast is ready” I heard a shout from my mom. Darn! I just slept 4 hours. I hope today will be different, which means I’ll lock myself in the house so that I’ll never see him again… HAHAHAHA! I hopped out on my bed and head straight to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and wash my face; I feel like I’m not feeling well today so I didn’t shower. I ran downstairs just to see my dad, mom and SHIT! “NICK!” I shouted. They turn around with frown faces. “Why shouting late riser?” he asked. “Why the hell are you here?” I asked. “Nikki, Nick will be staying with you for a month” mom said. “What the heck? Why?” I asked them confusingly. “My dad and your dad will be the one to handle the things that you need to handle in Hawaii” explained Nick. “So you mean you’ll go to Hawaii tomorrow instead of me?” I asked. “Yes honey” dad answered. “So what’s the point of Nick staying here?” I asked. “Well, I will be going with your mom and Nin” dad respond. “So you’re leaving me here all alone?” I asked. “That’s why Nick is here, he will help you and besides Nick’s parents are coming with us too” explained mom. “Whatever! I’m big now mom and I can do things on my own” I shouted. “Nikki!” dad yelled. “Look dad! I don’t want to ruin the trip of Nick and his girlfriend okay? So why don’t you give them more privacy?” I said sarcastically. “Honey, Myka left this morning” mom said. “She went back to New York for some reasons” explained Nick. “Then why are you here? Go follow her then! I don’t need a baby sitter” I shouted. “Nikki, whether you like it or not Nick will be staying with you and that’s final!” dad yelled. “Whatever!” I yelled back. I rolled my eyes and make my way to the front door. THIS MONTH SUCKS! I went to the nearest Cafeteria just a minute walk from our house to order some hot chocolate. It’s freezing damn cold.
