I'm in Love With My Best Friend Page 2
“Its 2 dollars” the waiter said. I head on an empty table at the back and slowly drink my hot chocolate. Yummy! I then choked when I saw Nick in front of me. What the heck, is he trying to kill me? I didn’t notice him following me. “NOT AGAIN! Why are you here?” I asked. “I just wanted to talk to you Nikki” he replied. “We don’t have anything to talk about Nick” I said while drinking my hot chocolate. “I think we do Nikki” he replied. “I don’t think so” I responded. “Look Nikki I made a mistake, could you just listen to me? Please?” he pleaded. “Okay? 5 minutes!” I said. “I want to talk to you but not here” he smiled. He grabbed my arm and led me to his damn cool Mercedes Benz car; wicked! He drove towards the seashore which I realized that it was the place where we used to talk if we have a fight!
“Why are we here? Did you expect that you can make it up because we’re here? I said. “Look, I just want to tell you why I couldn’t reply your mails” he started. “Whatever! It’s alright done!” I yelled. “No, it’s not done. I mean can you just please listen to me?” he pleaded. “Go on!” I responded while looking at my nails like a bored kid on class. “I wanted to say sorry about it Nikki. Hey look; I really wanted to mailed you back but Myka threat me and by that it means she’ll broke up with me if I keep on communicating you again; she’s too jealous of you and I love her so much Nikki that’s why…” I cut him off. “That’s why you choose her more than your best friend?” I cried. “No Nikki, please don’t cry. I don’t intend to hurt you” he said. “Well too late Nick! It’s clearly too late!” I yelled. I can’t believe it! PERFECT! I was like a dumb bitch girl that is expecting for nothing! How could he possibly give up our friendship that easily? How dare him to show his face to me! FUCK THEM! “Nikki, I’m really am sorry” he said. I just ignored him and hopped out to the car, I really need a fresh air! Nick followed me with worried look. “Nikki please say something? Why you’re still pissed off? Look, I’m already here, Myka just left so that she could give us time and now you’re ignoring me? FUCK THIS DAMN DAY!” he yelled.
“Why? What do you want to hear Nick? That I’m sorry for keep sending mails to you which ‘cause you trouble to your girlfriend? That I’m sorry because you never told me that you already found a girl? That hey Nick I really missed you but wait your girlfriend might get jealous? That I’m sorry because I keep on bothering you and it annoys you? WELL THEN! NICK JAMES SMITH! I really am sorry for ‘causing you much trouble!” I yelled. I really cried hard that makes me feel crazy. “You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for your response. You don’t even know how long I keep waiting for my best friend to come back! Nick, we’ve been best friends since the day we were born! But I guess you can just easily break it for your girl” I cried even harder. I don’t understand why I’m in so much pain; I don’t know how to explain the feeling it just it really hurts me. “That’s why I said I’m sorry and I want you to forgive me. Nikki, Myka is my girl and you’re my best friend I didn’t broke our friendship I choose Myka ‘cause I know that no matter what happened in the end of the day you’ll still be my best friend” he explained. “Well you’re insanely wrong, we’re not friends anymore. You’ll forget about me and I’ll forget about you! Curtains close and we’ll just need to bounce to our new life again. You’re the one who give up Nick and not me” I said calmly. I turn around to face the sea and walked to feel the air.
NICK’S P.O.V
I really hurt her; I watch her walking towards the sea. What shall I do to make her feel better? I followed her and grab her waist closer to mine. “What are you doing?” she asked. I didn’t answer instead I crushed my lips on hers. Damn! She really has sweet soft lips; at first she didn’t respond to my kiss but sooner she did. I bit her lower lip asking for entrance, surprisingly she granted me access; I explore her mouth hungrily and she did the same thing to mine. Nikki’s lips were so soft! I can’t stop it; I can’t imagine that I’m kissing my best friend! WAIT?! WHAT THE?! I quickly pulled and we both gasp some air. I looked at her and she’s still in shock like me. “I---I’m sorry Nikki, I must haven’t done it!” I said. She ran towards my car and cry! THIS DAY SUCKS! I followed her and sigh! “Can we just go home?” she said in low voice. “Okay!” I responded. The way to her house is so silent.
As we arrived at her house, she ran upstairs and I sat on the couch. No one is there, I look around the kitchen and saw a sticky not on the fridge. That says:
¬¬Nikki and Nick,
Plans change. We’re on the way to Hawaii! We received an emergency call from one of our business partners… See you next month; we just left you money on your credit cards. Take care you both!
Both of your parents
I ran towards Nikki’s bedroom and saw her lying in her bed. “Why don’t you knock before you enter?” she asked. “I’m sorry Nikki, I really am! And I just want to let you know that our parents are now on their way to Hawaii; they said that there’s an emergency” I explained. “Thanks for the info and you can now leave” she said. Instead of walking out I lay down beside her and embraced her. “Get out!” she shouted. “No! I will not get out until you’ll forgive me” I said. “Apology accepted, now get out!” she mumbled. I tapped her forehead and I felt heat. “Are you okay?” I asked. She didn’t respond that makes me more worried. “Nikki?” I whispered. Still no reply; I pull her close to mine and put my hand to her neck. “Shit! Nikki you’re sick!” I yelled. I quickly ran downstairs to grab some medicine and water. When I got the medicine I suddenly went to her bedroom. “Here take this, it can help you” I whispered. She got up and takes the medicine; she lay back to her bed freezing. “You can leave now, I can handle myself” she said. “Why would I? I will stay here whether you like it or not” I responded. “Whatever I just” she fell asleep. I chuckled and lay down beside her not knowing that I also fall asleep.
CHAPTER FOUR
NIKKI’S P.O.V
I wake up and saw Nick beside me sleeping. I still have a bit of headache and I’m still freezing cold. I get up out of my bed slowly enough to not wake Nick up but oops! It’s too late. “Good morning Nikki” he greeted. “What’s good about morning Nick?” I asked. “The good about morning is we still able to wake up, by the way are you okay?” he sincerely asked. “Who cares if I’m not?” I said. “Come on Nikki don’t be so mean, sooner or later we’ll be back to our what we called BEST FRIEND relationship” he proudly say. “Whatever!” I responded. Well, he’s actually right but I don’t know when. “Hey, wanna eat breakfast?” he asked. “Why? You’ll cook some food for me as a sign of apology for what you did yesterday at the shore?” I asked. “Well I didn’t intend to…” I cut him off. “Blah! Blah! Blah!” I smirked. “Wait? Do you keep on rewinding it on your mind?” he asked. “What? GROSS! NO!” I asked. This piece of shit! “Really?” he smirked. “Shut the hell up!” I yelled. “Don’t tell me that you want that KISS?” he grinned. EEEEW! Fuck! Well his lips were so soft; and kill me now because he’s my first kiss. My best friend was my first kiss? “Kiss your girlfriend! I’m hungry!” I shouted. “Okay, okay” he responded. We race towards the kitchen and grab some cereal and milk. We silently ate our breakfast and put our own plates in the dishwasher. WHAT AN AWKWARD SILENT! “Hey Nikki?” he started. “Hmmm?” I mumbled. “Can we just forget about yesterday? I mean could we just forget the KISS?” he said. “Why?” I asked. Before he could respond my question the doorbell rang. “I’m on it!” he mumbled. He walked straight to the door and I followed him. “Hey! How’s the flight?” he asked. FLIGHT? WHO THE HELL IS THIS PERSON? As I arrived at the doorway I saw MYKA?! “Hey Nikki, good morning” she greeted. “Morning” I responded. What she’s doing here? I thought she wanted to give Nick and me a time. “Oh! Nick babe I miss you so badly” she sigh. Before Nick could respond Myka gave him peck on the lips which makes me narrowed my eyes in surprise. “I miss you more babe” Nick responded and he gave her a peck. Well HELLO? I’m standing in front of you? “Babe, can you show me around on your village?
It’s quiet big” Myka said sweetly. “Well, of course babe only if Nikki will come with us” he responded. “Well, Nikki can come along with us!” she smiled. “Uhm? Excuse me but I have something to do. So why don’t you have time on your own?” I put my best fake smile. “Are you sure?” Nick asked. “Yes” I replied. “But Nikki, we don’t know if we can go back home early” Myka sigh. “That’s alright! I’m big enough I don’t need a baby sitter and I really need to go to my 8th grade friend’s party” I explained. “Well, is it ok if we go along now leaving you behind?” Nick asked. “As if you haven’t done it; so I guess I need to leave you here! Enjoy!” I smiled.
I walked upstairs to my bedroom and take a deep breathe. That’s why Nick wanted me to forget about the kiss because Myka will be staying with us; but how can I forget it if that kiss was my first? I opened my MacBook and check my mail. Great! Mich mailed me for the nth time, I miss her so bad! Ok Mich was one of my closest friends back on the 8th grade.
MICH: Hey! Nikki, are you ready for the party tonight?
ME: Yeah!
MICH: You can bring Nick with you because the party is like a reunion of our 8th grade class.
ME: Nah! Nick is with his girlfriend
MICH: Oooh! That’s tough!
ME: What’s tough all about?
MICH: Well, you like Nick right?
ME: Hell NO! We’re just best friends I mean USED TO BE best friends
MICH: Really? LoL! Okay! Okay! Don’t forget tonight 8 PM
ME: Yeah! Yeah! But the problem is I need a ride… HAHAHAHA!
MICH: You can drive Nikki bunch
ME: I don’t want to, you must pick me up!
MICH: and leave my own party?
ME: YEAH! LOL!
MICH: Hmmm, wait I will give Mike a call
ME: why?
MICH: I’ll ask him if he can give you a ride! Okay! Love yah! Xoxo
ME: no…
And Mich signed off! NO WAY! If you’re asking who the hell is MIKE! Well, he’s one of my crush back in the 8th grade; but when we got to the climax part of our relationship, NICK being the most protective best friend punch Mike to death! But punching Mike is not enough do you know what else he did? He sent me right away to our house telling my mom and dad that I’m already talking to boys! HE REALLY DID GREAT JOB! Since then Nick and I are liked conjoined twins; on the other hand, Mike stay away from me! HOW RIDICULOUS!
I heard a knock on my door. “Who is it?” I asked. “Nikki? It’s Myka” she replied. “Come in” I said. I sat down on my bed and I let her sit down on my cute purple comfy chair. “Can I talk to you?” she stated. “Sure! What is it all about?” I ask curiously. “About Nick” he said. “What about him?” I asked sarcastically. “Well, I know that you two were best of friends but you know I just want to let you know that I’m now his girlfriend…” I cut her off. “Please direct it to the point” I smiled. “I want you to avoid him as much as possible” she yelled. I on the other hand was still on shocking mode. “Why? I mean I can do it but I just want to know the reason” I asked. “I don’t like you to be his first again. Though Nick will not admit that he secretly fall for you” she sighs. “Excuse me? What did you just say? Whoa!” I yelled. I heard rushing footsteps towards my room and without any second thought Nick open the door. “What’s the yelling all about?” He asked. “I just want to talk to her but she just started yelling at me and I don’t know why but it’s ok babe” Myka lied. CRAP! Now I know who you are! LIAR! “Excuse me?! Who yelled first?” I questioned. “What’s your problem Nikki?” he asked angrily. “Whoa! Wait kiddo! I didn’t do anything” I shouted. “It’s alright Nick! Can you order a pizza? I just want to make up with Nikki” Myka lied again. “Okay! But Nikki no more yelling” he warned. Nick left us to order a pizza. “You’re not as good as you think you are right?” I said. “You better stay away from Nick or else…” I cut her again. “Or else what?” I said. “Or else you’ll never see him again because as far as I know Nick will choose me rather than you” she smirked. “I don’t care if he’ll choose you! He’s all yours biyatch!” I yelled. “Really? Huh! I don’t think so you bitch! If you really don’t care about Nick, why don’t you go outing? Because you’re still waiting for his response right?” she smirked. “That’s all in the past! So now you can get out of my room or I’ll start punching your ass” I warned. “ooh! I’m scared!” she teased. FUCK! She slammed my door and ran downstairs! How could she terribly ask me about being closed to her boyfriend!
I lay down on my bed to refresh my mind and just look at the brighter side when suddenly my door went bang and popped out Nick staring at me with an angry look! HELL NO! What is it again! I just looked at him with confused look; he shut the door and locked it! “What are you doing here?” I asked with a scared look. “What did you do to Myka?” he asked angrily. “I didn’t do anything you bloody idiot!” I yelled. “Really? Stop lying Nikki! She cried to me asking me if we can stay to my house!” he yelled. “Go! Stay there! I didn’t do anything to her! You know what? Myka is lying!” I shouted. “So you’re telling me that she’s a liar and you’re not? What do you expect? I’ll believe you?” he stated. That word hits me inside out! “I’m not asking you to believe me! I’m just telling you that…” he cut me off. “You know what? We’d better stay at my house rather than stay with you!” he yelled. “Fine! Go! And don’t you dare come back!” I warned. “I’d rather choose to stay with my girlfriend rather than my used to be best friend” he said seriously. BOOM! That’s what I get! FUCK HIM! FUCK THEM BOTH! Nick unlocks the door and walked away with Myka who is smirking like an idiot!
NICK’S P.O.V
We walked outside Nikki’s house and get inside my car. “Babe! Are you sure you want to leave Nikki here for the whole month?” Myka asked. “Yeah! We’re not best friends anymore” I replied angrily. What if her parents get mad at you?” she questioned. “I’ll call them, don’t worry about it. I told you whatever happen I’ll still choose you” I responded. If you’re asking why I’m so mad at Nikki because what happened when Myka ran down from their conversation between her and Nikki:
ME: Hey Myka are you alright?
MYKA: Nikki just gives me a slapped and told me that I must stay away from you
ME: what? Is she out of her mind?
MYKA: It’s alright babe, I don’t want you to get mad at her. After all she’s your best friend
ME: Even though she’s my best friend I don’t let anyone hurt you
MYKA: If that so, can I just stay in your house
ME: But Nikki’ parents told me that I must stay with Nikki
MYKA: Well, It’s alright I’ll just stay in your house alone
ME: Nope! I’d rather be with you.
MYKA: What do you mean?
ME: I’ll leave Nikki here and besides she now where to go because she lived here for a long time
MYKA: I LOVE YOU NICK
ME: I LOVE YOU TOO
See? How can she slap my girlfriend? I drove straight to my house and we arrived 10 minutes after. We get out of my car and walk to the porch. “Babe? What shall we do tonight?” she asked. “Hmm? What do you want to do?” I smirked. “I’m tired” she replied. “Well, I’ll just order a pizza and we’ll watch a movie” I said. “Sounds good to me” she smiled. We get inside my house and we both head to my room. She laid down my bed and smile. “You want?” she asked. “Want what?” I asked confused. “Don’t be silly” she smirked. I still don’t understand until she took of her pants. “No babe! Not SEX!” I smiled. “Why?” she asked. “You’re tired” I replied. She nodded and went to my bathroom; I heard her taking a shower that’s why I walk downstairs and order a pizza.
