Darling Muhl,

Noticed - part four

Nika's eyebrows furrowed,
she gripped the edge of the table, trying to regain her thoughts. she couldn't be feeling this way, they hated each other.
she should feel nothing but hate for the brunette sitting less than two feet from her.

but as she watched her, she realised that she felt no hate for her whatsoever. she couldn't even muster up any negative feelings, the only thing she felt was a feeling of need,

and butterflies in her stomach, as she pushed away the chipotle, half eaten, that was almost staring back at her.

she couldn't help but keep stealing glances to darla and watch her as she talked.
she hated the way she was watching her so intently, she hated the way she wanted to pull her into a hug, and possibly more.
she hated the way her stomach was being overrun with butterflies as she watched her,

but most of all, she hated herself, for hating darla.

everyone has stopped eating by now, either finished, or full.

Darla leaned back in the booth yawning, her leg resting against nikas who sat across from her, sending heat to her face.

" is that our que to leave ? " paige asked looking Darla up and down.

everyone gathered into Azzis car, Darla thankful azzi let her sit in the front causing Paige, Kk and Nika too be squished in the back. She looked back and laughed at the three girls before directing her attention back to azzi.

as the drive continued, kk noticed how nika had quickly pushed herself against the door, leaving a huge gap between them.

she snickered at the reaction and leaned over too Nika,

" why'd you move so fast ? you don't want me to touch you ? girl boo do i have a disease? "
she said smiling.

a look of annoyance instantly took over nika's facial features.
" i just don't like being crowded, that's all. "
she responded dryly staring at kk,

" sure did when darla sat here " kk said in a whisper so only nika heard her teasing.

nika felt the blood drain from her face as kk's words registered in her head.
" sh- shut up-" she stammered, her cheeks turning a light pink tone as she cursed in Croatian under her breathe.

kk chuckled at her reaction, noticing the pink tint on nika's cheeks.
" aw, is that pink tint on your face because me bringing up.. " she teased motioning her head towards the direction of darla who sat in the front seat.

nika wanted nothing more than to strangle the girl right now. she clenched her jaw tightly as she tried to control herself.
" no, it's the lighting. " she lied slouching into the car seat.

kk didn't believe her for a second, she could see right through her lie.
" i don't believe you. " kk said between laughs, which made paige curious and she looked over at the two.

" what's going on ? " paige asked curiously while looking from kk to nika.

" nika's lying. " kk said, snickering before looking at nika and giving her a smirk before that smirk quickly turned into a frown as nika forcefully elbowed kk.

" hey! " kk exclaimed, rubbing the spot where nika had elbowed her, which made paige laugh a little.

" stop being so violent " kk complained jokingly.

nika felt the need to roll her eyes.
" then stop being so annoying. " she said, her patience wearing thin as the car ride was silent for the rest of the drive,

besides for paige's playlist, of course.

Darla felt calm, she didn't feel angry like how she usually did 70% of the time, or upset, or sad.
