you're real - a nicholas chavez story

06 rumours

"EMILY" cooper shouted from downstairs

i groan, dragging myself downstairs
"what"

"have you checked out phone?" he asked

"no, you yelling woke me up"

"shit sorry" he stifled a laugh, "what's going on?" i asked plunking myself down on the couch.

"here"

i look at his phone,
breaking celebrity news!
Emily Argent and Nicholas Alexander Chavez seen together dancing, pressed up close, sharing drinks, looks like a date!
are the couple dating!?

"oh my god" i groan, slapping my hand over my face, Coop smilied at me, "now obviously i know it isn't true.. but like, you like him?" he questioned

i looked over at him and shit him a glare, "i think he is gorgoues, but uh, no, no crush"

"Hmm whatever you say" he smiled, picking up his bag, "i'm heading out for the day, got a big audition! i'll be home later on tonight"

"bye, good luck!!" i yelled out.

i plunked myself down on the sofa, reading further into the article, it wasn't long until fans started posting about it, soon edits of us started popping up and a ship name Nicily

- - -

About 30 minutes later, i was still engrossed with all the edits and posts, i didn't even realize the door opening.

"uh Em?" i jumped and looked up to see Nick, "oh hey"

there was a tension in the air, it was thick and consuming, really bring the feeling to an elephant in the room.

"so i'm assuming you saw?" he said walking to kitchen making us a coffee as on instinct.

i walked over and joined him on the bench. "yeah, Coop woke me up and showed me it."

"this is weird" i said looking down, he turned to face me, raising an eyebrow
"what do you mean?" he asked

"i don't know, like, is this awkward now?"

he smiled at me, "Em, people are gonna speculate, your a beautiful woman.."
he heart smiled at his sweetness"

"and i'm super sexy, how could they not ship us"
anddd the moments gone, but i couldn't help but giggled, "yeah i suppose so"

"anyways" he started as he handed me his coffee, leaning against the other side of the bench infront of me, "Coop's addition, he already got it, he just doesn't know, soo im throwing a surprise party"

"oh my god" my smile grew to the side of my face, i was filled with an huge sense of pride. "let me help, what can i do?"

he smiled at me, looking right into my eyes, a glint of something i can't recognise. "your amazing you know that?"

my cheeks rose with blush, looking at the ground, "i'm about to head out to the location, wanna come with and help set up? i can drop you off while you get ready and pick you back up?"

i smiled back at him, "sounds great, just let me get out of my pyjamas"

i quickly ran up stairs to get changed, what i didn't realise the way Nick was feeling, also unaware of the short pajamas i was wearing. Nicks breath hitched as he took in my look, not realising the stare and look he had in his eyes the whole time, was more than just friendship. Even being oblivious to sweet old Nick.

Nick and I got to the event, we spent most of the time setting up tables and chairs, i even arranged centre pieces, knowing they probably won't be standing by the end.

As nick went to talk to the bar staff, paying a bar tab, i was standing on the worlds tiniest step ladder trying to hang up a "CONGRATULATIONS" sign, i lent up on my tippy toes, trying to keep my balance.

i groan wishing i wasn't so damn short. just as i lost my balance, i felt two warm hands on the side of my hips keeping me up straight, i turn my head to smile down at him. "thanks" i said, barley as a whisper.

Nick lifted me effortlessly, just enough for me to pin the top half up. he settled me down on the ground, our bodies extremely close, i realise how heavy my breaths are

looking into his eyes, the same gleam i noticed before shimmered through again, what is that?
