Intoxicated By Your Love

Double Secret

Nancy

Another secret meeting between me and Steve in my bedroom. We didn't face any problems the last week without Lydia because we didn't care about getting caught. My room was our safe secret place for making out. I'm still not able to have something big with him, just kisses and touches. I'm having fun with Steve, but I can't have him inside me yet and I'm glad that he's not trying to hurry things up.

I'm waiting for Steve to come. I'm laying against the wall, taping my foot on the floor and checking my watch. We planned to meet at 6:15 pm and now it's 6:21. Lydia will be back soon, he needs to come quickly. 

After two minutes, I hear a couple of knocks on the door and a single knock, it's him. I open the door and drag him inside as he was looking left and right checking if someone saw him. I push him against the door and he twirls the key to lock it. His left hand fingers trail along my arm reaching my neck, then he tilts my chin up.

"I've been patiently waiting for this moment the whole day". He says brushing my bottom lip.

"Oh, and that's why you came so early?". I reply teasingly.

His mouth tips up at one corner in a gorgeous smirk, he leans down and kisses the back of my ear and whispers his apology for coming late softly. His breath, his touch, his voice and his lips make me have those butterflies that everyone has been talking about. 

Steve puts his hands around my neck while his thumbs are caressing my jawline and he complains about our secret meetings. He compares us to a couple who belongs to two hostile families. He sees keeping our relationship hidden has no sense as long as I have Lydia, Enzo and him by my side. He says that I don't need others to have a cheerful university life.

"I love you, Nancy, I love you more than everything and I'll....". He gets interrupted by the person who's trying to open the door behind him.

"Nancy!". Lydia's voice comes from outside as she knocks on the door.

We're screwed up. Lydia is here. We got caught.

I pull Steve away from the door and I start thinking about where I can hide him. However, he doesn't seem bothered, he's having fun while I'm about to lose my mind. He even finds this situation as an opportunity to tell Lydia about everything. I take him by hand and ask him to hide under Lydia's bed.

"I'm a big man Nancy, how can I fit in there?". He argues.

"Just get in there!". I order him while forcing him to lay down. The bed is the only place that Lydia won't look at it.

Steve struggles with getting under the bed, while Lydia is calling my name and knocking on the door aggressively. It's like she's ready to break it at any time. As Steve is finally hidden, I go to unlock the door, and Lydia sighs in relief. She wanders to her bed and I sit in front of her checking if Steve is completely hidden or not.

"Avoiding Enzo was so hard today". She says taking off her heels.

"Sure you want to talk about this now?". I ask. 

I hope she stops or Steve will discover her secret feelings.

"You're the one who was doubtful about that night". She replies, pulling herself into her bed further and she puts her back against the wall. "You were right, I lied about not meeting Enzo". She adds and she tilts her head back balancing it on the wall.

I was dubious about her lie. Everything was telling that they met that night; Her sudden parting without telling anyone especially Enzo, her cries at night, Enzo's apology and today's ignorance. However, she refused to tell me that she met him.

As much as I want to know now about what happened between them, I want her to shut up.

"I met him that night". She says, scratching the back of her neck.

"Tonight is pretty cold, don't you think?". I cut her off looking at the window. Talking about the weather seems to be the best subject that can interrupt any conversation perfectly. 

"I'm trying to talk about something important here, but you're not giving a fuck!". She growls.

I have two options about how I'm gonna end this night: Whether I keep on changing the subject till I piss Lydia off and she leaves, which will take from me 2 to 3 days to make her forgive me or let her speak and Steve will hear everything going on between her and Enzo.

"Sorry, I'm all ears!". I apologize as I chose the second choice.

What's the worst thing that can ever happen if Steve knows, he won't tell anyone anyway.

"I confessed". She says and I see tears in the corner of her eyes that she's hardly trying to hold, it must have been a painful confession.

I just don't get it. If she confessed then why everything went upside down? When they had to be a couple they started to ignore each other. I'm still receiving the same vibe from Enzo, especially when he was asking me about Lydia last week, every day and every hour. He's still interested in her, I'm sure. However, Lydia is the one who changed.

"We were wrong about his feelings". She wipes her tears before they could even reach her cheeks. "He said he can't date me". She adds making a fake chuckle.

"Did he reject you after what happened between you two?". I censure him. 

"It's okay Nancy, he has his own reasons I get him". She defends him.

Lydia must be serious about him. It's her first time defending a guy who broke her heart. She didn't even speak with this tone when she told me about Mason's dalliance while they were dating for 2 years.

Despite her broken heart Lydia is trying to find a pretext for Enzo's rejection. She's trying hard to not make him the bad guy. I stand up and sit next to her. I wrap my arms around her shoulders and hug her tightly.

"I'm ready to give him a good telling-off whenever you want". I say. "No one can ever hurt my girl". I let her know that I'm always by her side.  

"Thank you". She giggles and kisses me on the cheeks. 

For a moment I forgot about Steve, so I cut off our best friend's moment by pulling myself away from Lydia nervously and I ask her to bring me my purse that I forgot in the library.

"Why don't you go and bring it?". She inquires.

"I heard Steve will be hanging around at this time". I lie, I couldn't think of any other reason.

"I thought you two are okay now!". She says and stands up to wear her heels, then she gives me a kiss on the cheek and leaves to bring me the purse.

As soon as she closes the door, I hurry up to take Steve out from under the bed. I take his hand and lead him off to the door, but he pulls me back. I'm sure he'll argue with me about what I said to Lydia about him a few seconds ago.

"There's something between Enzo and Lydia!". His eyes widen in surprise. "I felt a special connection between them, but I didn't expect it to be love!". He adds. 

I'm not sure if the thing between them is love anymore. However, I need to do something about them. Lydia is crazy in love with Enzo that's certain, but I'm still unsure about him. 

"We need to do something about them, Steve". I say. 

"Something like what?". He asks. 

"I'll figure it out soon, any way you'll handle Enzo and I will have Lydia". I reply. 

Before saying goodnight to him, I make sure first that he won't tell anyone about what he heard and our plan. He nods, and then he lives after giving me a kiss on my forehead. A blush begins to spread across my cheeks.

 Good thing that he didn't see my red face.
