--Esmerelda's POV--

"Hey," I smile as Nick walks into my practice room. I turn the keyboard off as I turn around on the bench.

"Don't stop on my account," he says.

"I was finishing up anyways. Are you leaving too?" I ask as I start packing my bag.

"Yeah, I wish I knew you were here," he says making me smile, "I um," he says rubbing the back of his neck. I look up at him and give him a worried look, "I told Harry about my mum," he tells me.

I stand up and he puts his hands on my hips, "I'm proud of you," I tell him as he rolls his eyes.

"Let's go get ramen," he says picking up my guitar case for me. I follow after him when he leaves the room, doing a quick check to make sure I didn't leave anything behind.

We walk into the apartment  after eating and see Kylie pacing the living room on the phone. She throws her head back and runs a stressed hand through her hair as we put our stuff down. After about five minutes of us moving around in silence she hands up, throwing her phone on the couch, "I hate people," she says before walking off to her bedroom.

"Is she alright?" He asks as I shrug my shoulders.

"She will come into my room later to rant. Don't worry about it," I tell him. He nods his head and starts walking to my bedroom. I slide in my socks into my bedroom almost hitting his back. I look at my computer and debate if I should potentially ruin the happy mood he's in. I lay down with my back against the headboard, "I have something to show you...please tell me if I'm overstepping," I tell him. He gives me a scared look as he moves beside me. I open my laptop and go into my bookmarked tabs.

"Please tell me you're not into some weird shit," he says making me laugh as I shake my head.

"After what you told me the other night I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I was looking at flights to London and I found a really cheap one that would fly out Thursday night and comes back Monday night. You would only miss your Monday classes but you're a good student...ya know you could just make up what you miss. I'd help you of course," I ramble as he stares as my computer screen. The hand he had resting on my thigh slowly stopped moving as he takes in everything, "Seriously. If I'm overstepping tell me. I just....I know you don't want to see her but imagine how she feels. You're her son...she needs you," I tell him.

"When...um...why," he says stumbling over his own words, "I should..." he whispers. I sit up a little and look at him as he brings his hand to the back of my neck. He pulls me closer locking his lips with mine. I gasp against him as his hand grips onto my side. I pull away whispering his name as he softens the kiss.

"I'm guessing that's a yes?" I ask with a breathy laugh. He pushes hair out of my face making me melt inside.

"Go on a date with me," he whispers as I lean in giving him another kiss, "I'm guessing that's a yes?" He asks.

"I guess I can make time for you before you leave," I tell him as he pulls me back in with a smirk.

It's almost midnight when we turn off Supernatural to go to bed, "You're seriously surprising," he says kissing the back of my head as I lean on his bicep.

"In a good way?" I question.

"You're just surprising," he says as I get up from the bed. He sits back and watches as I go into the living room. I'm shocked Harry isn't here, he's probably stuck studying for a test. I walk back into my bedroom with two water bottles before laying down.

"Now who is obsessed with who?" I tease as he rolls over. He puts his arm behind his head and looks at the tv. It doesn't take long before he's pulling me into his side for me to lay down, "And clingy? Oh brother," I whisper as he laughs.

"Do you ever shut up?" He asks.

"Never"

"Oh brother," he teases faking an American accent.
