My best friend's brother is the one for me???

chapter 6: expect the unexpected

Nikki's P.O.V

As soon as we got to Starbucks, I immediately looked for a seat and sat down. 

Anne knew what I wanted so I didn't bother lining up with them.

I sat down and looked at the clouds.

I began to wonder why bad stuff are happening to me.

What did I do to deserve this? 

I did not do anything to deserve this.

Why is this happening to me?

My thoughts were interrupted by Anne giving me my food.

"Here's your cheesecake. I bought 2 slices, in case you wanted more, and here's your tall chocolate chip cream with extra whipped cream and chocolate grizzle."

"You know, I wish I could just wake up with amnesia. So, I could forget about the stupid little things. Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to him... Tell me this is just a dream, because I'm really not fine at all.." I took a big chunk of my cake and ate it. what? it's my comfort food.

they stayed quiet. They didn't know what to say. Sometimes, they knew exactly what to say, but they'd rather stay quiet and let me rant.

"its so fucking unfair. He's out with his girl doing some shit that makes them happy, while I'm here, moping, eating my feelings out and crying myself to sleep."

i took another bite of my cake and almost choked. I didn't realize that I took a HUGE chunk of cake and put it in my mouth.

after drinking my drink too fast, I got brain freeze. I swear, today is not my day.

"When we were still together, he told me he HAD to leave for Vegas, but then, when he and this girl became a thing, he said he was going to stay for good. I can't believe he'll stay for his whore but not me. They won't last. They wont last 5 months."

"I remember when he told me that he was going to leave for Vegas, he kept singing this song called Hey There Delilah by The Plain White T's. It made me cry even more and when he saw me crying harder, he panicked and told me that he didn't mean to make me cry harder." I say laughing a bit

After a few minutes of silence, I finished my cake and stood up.

"I need some alone time. See you guys later."

I didn't bother waiting for their reply.

I walked out of starbucks and walked around. To be honest, I have no idea where I'm going. I guess ill just have to ask people later. Plus, this is a good thing. I'll get to explore the city and stuff. 

I usually hated going on walks, but I felt like I needed to be alone now. I can't really be alone in the house, because Anne and Kiel can literally see me through their window and wave Hi. I need time to think by myself. Without people I know interrupting me. 

I decided to listen to my sad playlist, since that's what I usually do when I think about Michael. It makes me cry and crying makes me feel better. As I listen to my sad playlist, I look at the ground and avoid eye contact with strangers who probably think I'm out of my mind, because I'm crying in public.

I suddenly bump into something hard. I assumed it was just a thick pole, so I just walked past it. Until, the thick pole spoke. 

"Hey, are you okay or something?"

I looked back. As soon as I did, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was perfection. His smile, his eyes, his body.. oh god. Am I dreaming?

"Hellooo? Uhm I said are you okay?" He said a bit louder.

I wonder why though. He points to his ears. What the hell is he doing? I didn't really know what he was doing so I just stared at him confused and did nothing. He sighed and rolled his eyes. He went closer to me and yanked my earphones. "Oh shit.. that's why..." I thought to myself. I looked down blushing. I hear him chuckle and it was just the cutest laugh I have ever heard.

He walks closer and grabs my chin with his index finger and thumb and makes me look at him. I swear, I could be redder than a potato. His eyes looked better when you take a closer look. His face was about an inch away from mine and damn I could feel his hot breath on my face.

He smirks and looks at my lips. He slowly bit his bottom lip and stepped back winking. "Anyways, you haven't answered my question yet."

I couldn't talk. "Did that just really happen?" I thought to myself.

"huh? oh.. yeah im okay. Just a bit tired from walking around." I managed to say without stuttering. I mean, the guy is hot as fuck. Who wouldn't stutter while talking to him? 

"Are you sure you're just tired? because I think I saw you crying..." he said sounding worried.

aww that's cute. he cares

"Me? Crying? Psh no hahaha. I just got something in eye."  I said trying to cover up the fact that he saw me crying. The reason why I stare at the ground is because I don't want them to see me crying.

"Okay. Whatever you say. By the way, I'm Connor" 

"Oh hey, I'm Nikki. Nice to meet you" I let out my hand for him to shake it, but instead, he pulled me in for a hug. So I hugged back. I felt.. sparks. I don't know how to describe it. It's like when I first touched Michael's hand, but better. I feel like he's the one.

He started walking away, but he suddenly stopped and walked back to me.

"Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Can I have your number?"

Holy mother of potatoes. Am I day dreaming again or is this really happening?

His cheeks started to turn pink. "So? Can I have it?"

oh shit right. I look down blushing. I was about to take his phone but he made me look up at him.

"You have really nice eyes" I say without thinking.

"Oh shit. uhm I didn't mean to say it out loud. I was just going to.."

He cuts me off

"Hey hey it's okay! no need to get all weird and panic-y" He chuckles.

"You have beautiful eyes, a nice smile and beautiful pink plump lips" he says staring at my lips while biting his bottom lip.

"dear god what is he doing? He's killing me. And we just met a few minutes ago!" I thought to myself.

I blush and look down."Uhm.. yeah your phone. Give me it so I can, uhm, put my number in it."

"Oh right ofcourse. Here you go. Give me your phone too, so I can put my number there."

I typed in my password and gave him my phone. He was taking a long time so I decided to mess with his phone. I took a selfie and tried to look as hot as possible, which is practically impossible, because I look like an ugly potato. I made it black and white, because you know, black is slimming. I put the picture in my contact so he'd remember who I was. I also put "The Hottest Person You'll Ever Meet" as my contact name.

What? 

That's how I roll. I decided to quickly check his messages. I wanted to know if he was taken or not. Well, if he was taken, then why would he be doing this to me? He wouldn't do that. Unless, he is a major flirt who doesn't care if he's taken. But meh, I don't want to assume. 

While he was messing with my phone, I decided to spam him with my selfies. After taking 30+ selfies, I chose one and made it his wallpaper, and another for his lockscreen.

I gave him his phone back and he gave me mine. I checked my phone and looked for his contact. He didn't use his name. He used "Hot guy <3" as his contact name! I started laughing out loud but I suddenly stopped. I hated my laugh.

"You have a cute laugh. Hahaha anyways, you wanna go to Starbucks or something?"

"uhm yeah sure! that would be great."

"great! lets go?"

"yeah okay"
