Never forget you

Chapter 47: Knight

Reaching my locker room a loud clap hits my shoulder and a peek over to see Niko with a giant ass grin on his face.

Rolling my eyes I asked, "what?"

He laughed. "Nothing man. Nothing."

"Fucks sake spit it out."

"Nothing," he laughed, "it's just kinda nice to see you worked up about something."

"Yeah. Yeah." I rolled my eyes but he was right. Nothing much messes with me but lately anything Skye related has me on edge. In a good way.

"So today's the big day. What are you guys going doing or do you not know yet?" He raised an eyebrow at me and I shook my head throwing my shit in my locker and slamming it shut to lean up against it.

"Nah man, I got it all planned out. I think...," I let out a tiny nervous breath, "I think she's gonna really like it."

Niko smirked shaking my shoulders in encouragement. "And if not you got plenty of other women out there."

He nodded over to someone. I glanced over to the direction he was looking to see Maddie and her friends nearby watching us while giggling and gossiping about god knows what.

Turning back to my best friend I shook my head. "Nah. There is no other women. There's no one else, Nik."

"Oh. Shit."

Niko stared at me for a moment and I watched as a slow grin formed on his lips. He knew pretty much everything we've gone through. He was there for most of our camp days. He knows the connection Skye and I have and to top it off he likes her as a person. I felt comfort in that, that we had someone who knew our whole story and who was secretly routing for us.

Nikos face got stern all of a sudden, my heart dropped at the seriousness I saw in his eyes when he said, "Don't mess with her man."

When my eyebrow quirked up at my best friend he continued, "Fuck off. I know I'm your best friend-your brother- but that doesn't mean I don't feel some sorta way about Skye too. That I don't care about her." He laughed when I let out a small growl. "As a friend, man, chill fuckhead."

Niko snickered before letting out a sigh. "Look, all I'm saying is that she's been through a lot. I remember her never having a mom and then all the shit we put her through not knowing she was here cause her dad died. And shit, that was only like a month ago. I'm just...fuck...I'm just saying be careful. I've seen the shit you went through when it all fell apart."

I shook my head, holding a hand up to stop him. "This is different, Nik. I know the shit I put her through, the shit I went through but you know how I felt about her. How I feel about her. I'm done acting like she's some fucking slut who cheated on me. I did that, went down that road and fucked it all up because I tried to get my dick wet by some random chick." I nodded over to Maddie who had gotten closer while Niko and I were talking. "I don't want that. I want her. And only her. And I'll do whatever I gotta do to prove to her that I'm in this and that I'm worth taking the chance on because I know...I fucking know that Skye and I are supposed to be together."

Niko smirked, nodding his head. "Alright. Glad to finally hear you admit all that. Hows it feel?"

I laughed. "Fucking terrifying."

He laughed shaking his head and gesturing for us to start walking to our cars. "Yeah. I think that's normal though."

"Mmm," was my only response as we walked to the parking lot in comfortable quiet.

Adrenaline filled my entire body as I drove home and began getting ready for the date that I knew was going to change everything. My first official date with Skye.

Never in my life had I planned something so meticulously. Had I ever put so much effort into something. It didn't take much time, I knew right away what I wanted to do with her but it was still new for me to go through the process. Any other time I'd just have to look at a girl and she'd wanna suck my dick or fuck me sideways but not Skye. Not my girl. Nah, she'd always make me work for it and I'm so fucking fine with that.

I let out a laugh at that thought while I'm getting dressed. Had someone told me a few months ago that I'd be thinking these thoughts or hell, that I would be going on a date with Skye Davis I would have asked if they were fucking stupid. I never would have given it a second thought, so adamant about hating her. Thinking I knew the truth about what happened between us. But that guy was so unbelievably fucking wrong and I'm so goddamn grateful that we both know the truth now and can move on to this. Us.

I give myself a look over in the mirror shaking my head at all the effort I just put in to my appearance. Letting out a low laugh I grab my phone and wallet slipping them into the back pocket of my dark jeans before grabbing my keys and heading out the door.

The entire drive to her place I had to keep gripping the steering wheel tighter and tighter to stop my hands from shaking. Fuck, I've never been this nervous.

When I pulled up at the curb I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing before getting out and shutting my door a little too hard. "Fuck. Shit. Calm the hell down!" I scolded myself. Jumping up and down a few times to get the nerves out I finally took a deep breath and walked up the driveway. My eyes flickered to the front door repeatedly wondering if she was there watching my sorry ass.

Letting out a slow breath I lifted my hand to ring to doorbell and then swallowed down the giant lump in my throat threatening to cut off my air supply while I waited. Glancing back at my car to try to calm my nerves I heard the door opened behind me. Spinning around my mouth dropped open and I gripped my chest at the beautiful girl standing in the doorway.

"What? Too much?" Skye looked down at herself eyes wide before looking back at me. I couldn't blink. I couldn't breathe. "You told me to fucking wear a dress! Now I'm feeling like an idiot."

I shook my head willing my mind to fucking work and get the rest of me to fucking move. Do something! I closed my mouth, swallowing thickly before breathing out, "You're fucking perfect."
