Midnight love {Nika Muhl}

Part 31

Violet Montgomery

After me nika and Azzi finished our movie nika asked if I wanted to stay the night an offer I can never decline. As me and nika walked to her room Azzi gave her a telling look. Based of there conversation I overheard earlier nika should be telling me something important here soon.

Once we made it to her room I walked over and sat on the bed whilst nika stood close to the after shutting it. She looked at me and let out a deep sigh before slowly begging to make her way over to me. Taking a seat next to me on the bed.

"Violet. I have something to tell you." She said her voice obviously laced with unease. She let out yet another deep sigh when I simply nodded in response. "I just wanted to say that. I'm sorry for how things happened with your family. I feel guilty. Like it's my fault." Nika said.

This was what she was keeping from me. I expected it to be ten times worse than this. "It's not your fault. They kind of already knew." I said shrugging my shoulders. She nodded signaling me to keep talking. "When I was 15 I kissed a girl from church. Her dad found out and went to my dad. I've just never openly told them I don't intend to change. My whole life I have been trying to covert. My parents thought it was as easy as flipping a switch." I said letting out a deep sigh.

"I'm just glad it was you. You know. That you are the girl I finally told them about." I said smiling looking up at her. She looked at me her face stalling for a moment. A very very quick moment that I took notice of. She pulled me closer to her enclosing me in a tight hug.

She leant back into the pillows cuddling me closer to her body as she gently stroked my hair. She pulled the duvet up and over us. And before we knew it we were both fast asleep.

But I definitely did not go to sleep without over analyzing why she was keeping that from me. Why she felt the need to tell Paige and Azzi before she told me. Why she looked at me the way she did after I reassured her. I have a feeling that was the least of her worries.

...........

The next morning I woke up early. Earlier than nika at least. But thats not that hard of a thing to do that girl loves her sleep. I laid there for a while absorbing all the tender love and attention. I love the feeling of her arms wrapped around me. And the way her hair smells. I can tell when she uses her coconut hair mask because it smells more fresh more like a vacation.

Her dark hair is so thick. Sometimes I braid it for fun or when I'm bored. Something I used to do with my own hair. But now I much prefer hers as it's softer and thicker and doesn't fray as easily compared to my baby thin hair.

I decided to finally get out of bed when I could smell the soft aroma of fresh coffee from the kitchen. Azzi much like me loves to start her mornings off with a fresh cup of coffee. Before I made my way out the door I threw on one of nikas basketball hoodies that happened to have a large number 10 plaster on the back along with her last name.

I was sure to shut the door extra quietly as to not wake my sleeping beauty. When I entered the kitchen I saw Azzi standing there sipping a cup of coffee steam billowing from the rim. "Good morning. There's enough if you want a cup." She said nudging her head towards the coffee machine.

"Just for me." I said pressing a hand to my chest faking surprise. "Well I wasn't ever sure of you were still gonna be here this morning but sure." She said her words catching me off guard. "Why wouldn't I be here?" I said sounding confused. "Well nika told you right." She said her voice noticeably dropping to a quieter tone.

"Yes she told me but why would I leave." I said still very confuse as what nika told me was not something that would ever make me so upset to the point of leaving. "I don't I just thought you would be a little more upset about the whole situation." Azzi said her words till to vague for me to understand what she was talking about.

"What situation." I said staring to get upset. "The whole Nahiem situation." She said making me even more confuse. "Who?" I said slightly rasing my voice.

"Her boyfriend." Azzi's words hit me like a ton of bricks. Her what. Her who. Since when did she have one of those. When she was spending Thanksgiving with my family. When she was taking me on a weekend getaway. When she was getting into my bed at night. When she was taking my virginity.

"Azzi." I heard her voice coming from behind me but I did not turn around. I was still in complete shock when Azzi suddenly feld the kitchen leaving the two of us alone. "Vi please let me explain." She said clearing her throat as I turned around to face her.

I nodded my head not looking up from the floor as the tears began to well in my eyes. "I when I went to that party that night we had broken up. Well gone on a break. We've been on a break. We've been off and on for two years. I didn't expect to meet you and feel the way I felt about you. And when I did I knew I needed to end things with him first. So that's when I told you I regretted sleeping with you. I went to him that night and told him we couldn't be together. We haven't been since then but we were when me and you first met." She said looking so guilty and ashamed.

"So you took my virginity when you had a boyfriend." I said letting out a bitter scoff without even realizing it. "We were on a break." She said trying to convince me and herself that her actions were okay. "Oh bullshit. Were you still texting him." I said feeling hot tears begin to roll down my face.

"Yes but he was the one texting me I just felt bad leaving him on opened." She said her head hanging low. "You are ridiculous you know that. I take back what I said last night. I'm so not glad that you were the girl I finally told my parent about. And after everything. After I showed told you how insecure I was about the way Austin treated me. How her fucked everything that moved. You were doing the same thing. But I was the pawn. I was the trampy little side whore who you used when you wanted. Fuck you." I said my voice raising as I turned away from her heading to the front door to leave.

"Wait vi please I'm sorry." She said her voice pleading and making me want to scoop her up into one big hug.

"I don't give a shit if you're sorry or not. Don't call me don't text me. Don't come by my dorm. Whatever this was. It's over." I said turning away and walking out the door. Never turning back.
