Mystical Mutant {Editing}

Chapter 51

ON ONE'S POV 

Erica pulled his hands to the back of the tree "we can spy on them" she chuckled and poked her head out "hey Nick, it looks like he's on a date, they are so cute! Are they official?" she whispered.

"Not yet," he replied and peeked. Nicholas watched her as she walked back to the bench "I wish them the best... urgh! I have two songs left" she exhaled and raised her head "hey Nick, will you be here tomorrow?"

"I might need some help if I get stuck," Erica said "I don't know, it depends on where Louis wanna go," he answered, Erica rested her hands on her face as her elbows stood on her legs 

"Maybe during your free time I can ask you a few questions, I hope you don't mind?" she said with puppy dogs eyes, Nicholas hesitated for a while "sure, can I have your num-" before he could finish Erica flew from the chair "yes! You can have my number" she grinned.

Erica picked at his phone "I want the purple and red heart emojis" Nicholas paused and arced a brow at her. He looked at her with a smile "if I may ask, how old are you?" Erica grinned at him "Eighteen"

Nicholas sat slowly "you act like fifteen" he murmured, she laughed and slapped his back "I get that a lot" she squashed her shoulders to his "how old are you?" 

Nicholas moved his face "can I get some personal space first?" Erica chuckled and moved. "Twenty" he replied, "aww... you look too cute to be twenty," she said with a pout, "excuse me? Have you looked in a mirror?" 

Erica gasped and curled like a macaroni "was that a compliment?" she batted her eyelashes. Nicholas wished he could just run away, even if he did, he has no insurance she won't go after him. 

Nicholas began to rethink his life decision of giving out his number. They paused and looked at the buzzing phone, Erica picked it up from her lap 

"Writing time is over, I should go back and help my Mom" she stood up and waved at Nicholas "it was fun meeting you, I hope to see you soon" Erica grinned then ran off. Nicholas sighed in relief, resting his back.

...

LOUIS' POV 

I was happy I got to do something fun with Fiona yesterday. I don't know if I should plan the next outing or maybe I should give her a chance.

My eyes darted as the phone rang on the table, I sat up and looked at the caller "Erica?" I arced a brow "oh... Nick has a secret girlfriend, gotcha" I smirked and yelled his name with all my veins "Nicholas!" 

The footsteps got closer and closer "what's your problem, bruh? Are you crazy" his eyebrows furrowed, I laughed so hard then wiggled my eyebrows, Nicholas stared like I was a madman.

"No... but I know someone who is crazy in love" I winked "do you need an eye doctor? I think there's a problem with your eyes," he said plainly, I chuckled at his acting 

"Your girlfriend called, I thought there were no secrets between us, but I understand" I grinned widely. Nicholas paused like he had no clue but I knew he was just playing dumb, his eyes widened.

"Oh, do you mean Erica?" he said, "of course" I smirked, Nicholas shook his head continuously "nope, she's not my girlfriend" I paused for a minute "what do you mean?"

He sat on my dressing table chair "I met her yesterday at the park, she's just an eighteen-year-old songwriter, she talks a lot and gets too comfortable with strangers" by the look on his face and his tone I knew he didn't like her at all.

"What's with the emojis?" I said, Nicholas stared at me "can you believe she has emoji preference? That kid is so weird" he exhaled. My eyes widened at the vibrating phone "it's her again" I pressed my lips to suppress my laughter.

Nicholas took a deep breath and then picked up, I glued my ears to the phone's back, "hello Nick! I hope I'm not bothering you?" she whispered, "no, not at all" Nicholas answered sarcastically.

"I wrote the first stanza of my next song, I want to read it to you first, please give me your honest review. It's a romance song"

Nicholas paused "can we do this later, I'm not in the mood, I'll call back later" he hung up and collapsed on the bed "why didn't you help her? Don't be mean, give her a chance" I said.

Nicholas glared from below with his bulging green eyes "I never said I won't help, I just need to relax a bit" he took the posture of a sleeping person.

"I swear if you doze off I'll place my legs in our mouth" I frowned, Nicholas got up sluggishly and grabbed his phone "okay, I'll help her now" he dragged his feet on the ground acting like it took two years to get to the door.

ON ONE'S POV 

Nicholas went to his room and called Erica, she picked immediately then explained the inspiration for the songs before reading the lyrics to him.

Nicholas liked the songs but replaced a few words, after a few adjustments Erica read the edited version to him and they both liked it.
