"oh shut it Nicole!"

[<3]

I haven't left Noah's side since he's been back, nor have I really left the other boys either.

"dude you're so annoying! get your own popcorn!" Nick groans as he fights me with popcorn.

"listen here you little fucker, I bought that shit and YOU ate it all so share." I finally snatch the bowl from him and he just pouts as I smile in victory.

the other boys watch with amusement, clearly more interested in our banter rather than the boring movie.

"I'm going to look at an apartment tomorrow." I announce to the boys.

"finally!" Nicholas groans and I throw a fist full of popcorn at him causing him to laugh. Ozzi immediately going after the few pieces on the ground.

"oh shut it Nicole!" I scowl at him.

"did you just call me Nicole?" he asked.

"sure did, now watch the movie before I beat your ass again."

the day the boys got back I made it my duty to finally beat Nicks ass which resulted in a broken vase and a talk down from Jolly. I didn't hit him with the vase, his dumb ass just ran into it and knocked it over.

the look on Jolly's face that day had me in tears, clutching my stomach from laughter. he was going on and on about how we were acting like children.

——

"nick look what you did!"

"that was your fault."

"no sir it was not! you ran into it."

"you chased me!"

"and? you still broke it. your fault, not mine."

I turn around and am immediately met with jolly's hard stare.

"he did it!"

"she did it!"

——

I didn't see anything wrong with it other than Nick claiming it was my fault even though he ran into it. I didn't do anything wrong.

I still apologized though. I mean it was his favorite vase after all.

as soon as jolly turned around to walk away, I grabbed a pillow and hit the shit out of Nick with it, which resulted in a pillow fight and another look from Jolly.

like I said, not my fault Nick broke his vase.

I did win the pillow fight though and the best sneak attack award presented to me by folio when I first scared the shit out of Nick by jumping on his back, trying to put him in a headlock.

——

it's now late at night, nothing but silence is heard throughout the house. Ozzi lays in my bed fast asleep while I'm in the bathroom.

getting ready for bed was a process. half the time I just stood in front of the mirror, not exactly looking at myself but just thinking. I'm in the process of brushing my teeth when arms slip around my waist.

"penny for your thoughts?" his head rests on my shoulder.

he loosens his grip on me when I have to spit the toothpaste, but then pulls me back almost instantly afterwards.

we meet eyes in the mirror and I can't help but smile. "I love you."

he kisses my cheek, "I love you too baby."

"come on, let's go to bed." he whispers and I follow after him.

sleep came easy that night. the beat of his heart, his soft breathing and the way his hands would play with my hair lulled me to sleep.
