Fool's Gold

Chapter 16

The look on the mysterious girl's face kept on getting more arrogant by the minute. I was surprised that Nick wasn't telling me who she was. I realised that he only would've told me if he wanted me to know,
"I'm Stella, the girl that your hottie hooked up with at that party. Now do you remember who I am?" My mind couldn't comprehend the words that I had just heard. This was the last thing I wanted to hear,
"Hey look, Grace and I have already sorted this out, so if you could please go away and mind your own business that would be great," Nick spoke gently but firmly. I could tell that he didn't want this problem to be brought up again,
"What ever happened to you loving me? I thought that we were forever," Stella said obviously trying to aggravate me. She reminded me of Brittney,
"I never even said that so stop making up lies and go away before you ruin my relationship with Grace," With this Nick took my hand and we pushed past Stella to continue our walk around the shops. This would've helped if Stella didn't follow us. She didn't come up to talk to Nick and I but instead just lurked behind us, trying to stay out of sight. To her disappointment though it didn't work. Nick and I could clearly see where she was and whenever she looked at us we would do something sweet like hug or kiss, just to see jealousy bubble up inside of her. We got a bit carried away though and ended up mucking around so much that we were chasing each other around in the shops. Nick had started chasing me and fortunately I was quicker than him, leaving me time to hide. I took my position in an antique store behind a two meter tall statue. I was standing there for what seemed like an eternity, Nick still hadn't found me. I stayed there for a bit longer and suddenly Nick jumped out from the other side of the statue and scared me,
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I yelled at him. He had truly frightened me. Nick was trying to respond but couldn't because he was rolling on the floor laughing and crying about what had just happened,
"Your face was hilarious. You looked like this," Nick said in between laughter. He mocked my face and started to laugh more. I loved his laugh. Nick got up from the floor and put his arm around me. His face was as red as a tomato. Nick looked so adorable. Eventually we left the shops. Nick was still chuckling at his prank earlier on in the day. At least I made him laugh, even if it was at my expense.
