Battle Scars

Battle Scars part 5

 For the rest of the week, Stella and Nick began to talk less and less….for some reason they feel as though they had nothing to say to each other, well actually the real reason is the sexual tension is getting very very real between them. Nick finds himself tracing her curves or staring at her for long periods of time until she snaps him out of his trance. Stella has been having these little day dreams about nick aswell but doesn’t….know how to really deal with it. So she’s pushed it go the back of her mind and started to hand out with Karen and Leah more often. Right now the girls were out shopping while Dan and Nick hung out at the house watching football.

(with Dan and nick)

Dan-so man how have you and Stella been?
Nick-honestly, we haven’t talked in a while…I don’t know why
Dan-you sure man?
Nick-well maybe…we kissed
Dan-WHAT???
Nick-*signs* yea yea I know, I don’t know she’s just….gorgeous
Dan-damn….are you inlove with her?
Nick-no no I just like her a lot
Dan-well I mean she is 18 today
Nick-I'm not taking advantage of her like that
Dan-not what I meant. But you need to tell her how you feel if she’s going to live with you
Nick-I know man
Dan-tell me how do you feel about her, honestly
Nick-honestly….at first I just thought she was just a girl with problem. Now I realize I want her problems to be my problems….i want to protect her because she really means something to me. I didn’t feel this way towards Ciara…but Stella….just saying that name is music to my ears
Dan-I mean Jesus Crist ask her to marry you and those can be your vows, just don’t mention Ciara
Nick-*laughs* shut up man
Dan-nah but really…show her you want her
Nick-alright, I will tonight
Dan-what are you gonna do?
Nick-something special for her birthday
Dan-mhmm….you’re not gonna tell me are you
Nick-nope

they both laugh before going back to watching the game. Nick didn’t say anything about what he was going to do because he had no idea what he was going to pull off by tonight. Don’t get him wrong he’s a hopeless romantic when he wants to be but….he didn’t have long before he had to impress her and find a away….to tell her that he just couldn’t stay away.

(With Leah, Karen and Stella at the mall)

Leah and Karen-YOU WHAT??

Everyone in Victoria secret looked at them like they were crazy, Stella blushed with embarrassment before dragging them both into a changing room.

Karen-tell us what you just said again
Stella-not if you’re going to screech like monkeys again
Leah-we promise….now go on
Stella-Nick and I kissed

they were about to be loud again until Stella lunged forward and covered their mouths.

Stella-do NOT do it again….ok listen yes we kissed but me and him will never be more than me the poor girl living in his house and….him the sexy looking guy who’s helping shelter a poor girl. He said we couldn’t be together because of the age difference.

She slowly uncovered their mouths before sitting on a small little bench in the corner looking down….she barely spoken to him because she knew he didn’t feel what she felt for him and it was tearing her apart. Karen and Leah gave each other a look before crouching infront of her, each one of them holding one of her hands. That caused her to look at them, they could see the tears wanting to fall from her eyes but she wouldn’t let them…she wanted to be strong…she didn’t want to break anymore.

Karen-hun please don’t cry, trust me….we know Nick and hes not one to let a very beautiful girl slip from his grip. He likes you but sometimes boys have a hard time expressing their feeling the right way
Leah-in other words he can be a moron
Karen-yes thank you leah

Stella couldn’t help but laugh and wipe away the tear that was about to fall down her cheek, they all stood up and did a group hug. They then helped her clean up a little before buying what they needed and continued to walk around the mall.
