We Said Forever!

Chapter 5. After party mess

When I got home from the party that night, I was an emotional mess. I threw my phone on my bed and sank to the floor. I ruined everything with Nick with one stupid kiss. I wished I never asked if he would kiss me. Then this would never have happened. It was all my fault.

I eventually got off the floor and forced myself to take a shower. I cried in the shower that night, which was something I hadn't done in a while. Around an hour later, I got out of the shower and got dressed in some of my comfiest PJs. I was still drowning in my thoughts, horrified at what Nick thought of me after we kissed.

I wiped away my tears and crawled into my bed, hoping to forget my sorrows.

-Nick's POV-

I quickly walked out of the room, leaving Charlie sitting there alone. I was hoping to get back to him soon after I took care of whatever my friends wanted.

After I walked up to them, Harry was the first to speak.

"Are we good mate? I don't want any trouble on my birthday."

"Yeah, we are good," I said wanting to get the conversation over with.

They finally left me alone shortly after that and I made my way back into the room I left Charlie in. I was disappointed that our kiss was cut short and wanted nothing more than to go back to him.

"Hey, sorry about that, Charlie," I started to say, but soon stopped talking as I realized Charlie was no longer there. I put my hands on my head, looked out the window, and caught a glimpse of Charlie leaving with his dad.

I looked down and began to feel very overwhelmed. I kept replaying the kiss Charlie and I  shared. I was unsure of what my sexuality was at that point, but I just wanted to talk to Charlie and ask why he left. I pulled my phone out to do so but decided against it as Charlie was probably angry with me.

I just wanted to just go home at that point, so I called my mom to come to pick me up. When she questioned me about how the party was, I lied and said everything went well. Once I got home, I went up to my room, and my thoughts became consumed with Charlie. His lips were soft and addicting. The way he gripped my shirt collar, making the kiss more intense felt so good. I sat there wanting more, wanting to kiss him again, to hold his face in my hands. I wanted to take things further and explore his mouth with my tongue. I concluded that I didn't want to just be friends.

I headed into the bathroom so I could take a shower. I got in and turned the temperature to cold, trying to get the inappropriate thoughts of Charlie out of my head.

After I got out of the shower and put some new clothes on, I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. I saw a bottle of whiskey on the counter, having been left out by my mom. My mom was currently in her office, so I did the stupidest thing I could think of. I grabbed a glass and poured myself a small drink, wanting to stop drowning in my thoughts. I took a big sip and gagged at the taste. I poured the rest of the glass down the drain, regretting my choice to try to drink whiskey to numb my feelings.

I headed back upstairs to my room and got into bed, trying to will myself to stop thinking of Charlie. I suddenly remembered the rugby match I had the next day and how I talked to the coach about Charlie joining the team, seeing as we needed an extra player and he was an extremely fast runner.

I didn't know what to do anymore, and my world felt like it was crashing down. I ended up crying myself to sleep that night, hoping Charlie was okay. Right before I fell asleep, I made a plan to go to Charlie's house to talk to him about the kiss and hopefully make things right.

-Charlie's POV-

I was woken up that morning by my mom informing me that we were going over to my grandma's in an hour. I was somewhat excited to see her but mainly was worried about Nick and me. I knew I had to get over it eventually, but knowing me, it would take a long time. I looked out the window and saw that it was pouring rain. It seemed fitting for my current emotional state.

I suddenly heard the doorbell ring after I had just finished brushing my teeth. I jogged downstairs, wondering who it could be, and quickly opened the door.

There stood Nick Nelson, sopping wet from the rain.

"Hi," he said quietly.

"Hi," I said cautiously, wondering what he was doing at my door.

I invited him inside and took him up to my bedroom so we could speak in private.

"I'm all wet," Nick giggled.

I smiled and grabbed him some dry clothes to put on. As he stripped his wet clothes off, I quickly turned around, a blush covering my face.

"You can turn around," Nick says.

I slowly turn around and looked into his eyes, seeing how beautiful they are.

I broke

"I'm so sorry I kissed you! I wasn't thinking. I-I didn't know what I was doing. I shouldn't have asked you-"

I was cut off as Nick grabbed my face and pulled me close to him. He kissed me hard and passionately. I melted into the kiss, putting my hands in his soft hair. He slipped his tongue into my mouth, and I let out a small whine.

He pulled away and put his forehead against mine.

"I should be the one saying sorry, Charlie."

I ignored his words and pulled him back into a kiss, wanting to show him how much I care for him. I bite his lower lip, pulling his hair a bit.

I eventually pulled away, slightly embarrassed.

Nick smirked.

"Wow!" he commented, surprised at my confidence.

I smiled a bit, and he seemed to recall why he came over.

"I just wanted to apologize to you for the party and how I just got up and left to see what my friends wanted. I did come back, but you were gone, and then I saw you leaving with your dad. I wanted to text you, but I didn't because I thought you were mad, and I didn't know what to do after our kiss."

"It's okay, Nick! I forgive you."

He smiled at me.

"Thank you for being so understanding. I gotta get going though. I have a rugby match in a bit. I did want to ask you if you wanted to join the rugby team. We need an extra player, and I saw what a fast runner you are. It's fine if you don't want to, but it would be really great if you did."

He then awkwardly smiled, waiting for my answer. His smile was the absolute cutest.

"I'll join, but JUST for you," I said with a giggle.

"You're the best."

We walked back downstairs, and I handed him an umbrella.

He smiled and thanked me.

"I'll see you soon, Charlie. Bye!"

He walked out the door and down the sidewalk to go home to get ready for his match.

I suddenly got an idea and ran after him in the rain.

"Nick!" I yelled.

He turned around and looks at me confused.

"What? Did I forget something?"

I smiled and joined him under his umbrella.

"Yes you did," I said as I glanced around to make sure no one was looking, and slowly kissed him.

I pulled away, and he smiled.

"Bye!"

I sprinted back inside to quickly get out of the rain.

I'll never forget Nick Nelson's adorable smile and amazing kisses.
