Finding Who I Was Meant To Be

Chapter 4

I woke up, tucked in bed. I sat up and looked around. Will must've left during the night. I yawned and put on my slippers, then headed downstairs to make breakfast. When I reached the kitchen I was shocked by what I saw. Will had already made a large a breakfast and was sitting down eating it. "You're still here? And you made breakfast?" I asked, astonished. He nodded, taking another bite of bacon. "Did you really think I would just leave you like that during the night? I made you a bacon omelet. Your favorite." He said with a smile. I ran over to him and threw my arms around his neck. "I love you! You're the best." I said before sitting down next to him to eat my omelet. Will looked up. "Nikki, can we talk about something?" He asks hesitantly. I knew it had to be serious, he rarely used my nickname Nikki. I nod. "Yeah we can talk Will." He takes a deep breath, "We've been friends for years now and I've always been there for you to help you with your numerous boyfriend troubles." I nod, not really knowing where he was going with this. He hesitantly takes my hand. "I want to end your boyfriend troubles Nicole. I like you, a lot. I have ever since we met before you came to LA. I always wished that I could be your boyfriend so that I could put an end to your abusive relationships."

I sat there in shock, I've had a crush on Will for a while and now he's telling me that he likes me back. I just smiled at Will. "So, will you be my girlfriend?" He asks a bit shyly. I nodded, "I want to ease into this though. No rushing it at all." He smiled like a little kid who was just told he could have all the candy in the world. "I can do that." I smiled and went back to eating my omelet. "When you're done go get dressed for the park, I want to show you something." Will said, heading for the door. I got up. "Where are you going?" I asked, not wanting him to leave. "I have to pick up some things from my apartment," he replied, "I'll be back in twenty minutes." He then headed out the door.

I smiled and headed upstairs to get dressed. Throwing on a floral strapless sundress and some sandals, I went into the bathroom to examine my face and the bruises on my forearm. I put cover-up on them both to hide the ugly marks. When I heard the downstairs door open, I immediately rushed downstairs. Will stood there holding a basket, blanket, and his guitar, a big smile on his face. I smiled back at him as I decreased the space between us. "Are we going on a picnic?" I asked him. He nodded, "Yes we are. And we are having our picnic at the Hollywood sign." I sigh happily, Will was just so sweet.

"Awesome!" I exclaimed, grabbing my purse and heading outside. Since my apartment was a short distance away, Will and I decided to walk to the sign. Half an hour later we were lying down on the blanket, fingers intertwined, and stomachs full. "Will, aren't you worried that this won't work out and that our friendship will be over?" I asked. Will sat up and looked at me. "Nicole, we've been in love with each other forever. This will never change." He says gesturing to our hands. I smiled and sat up to kiss Will's cheek. For the rest of the afternoon we laid there, Will's arms around me, our hands connected.
