I woke up to the delicious smell of bacon. It's been so long since I've had a decent breakfast. I stretched out my arms and legs then turned to the side. I saw Nick's favourite shirt next to me. I admit, I took it from the closet and went to sleep with it. What? I need to cuddle something. I inhaled Nick's scent from the shirt then realized that I'm doing some pretty creepy-stalker-fan girl thing. I quickly threw the shirt next to the hamper.
I was startled when I heard a knock on the door. A voice said "Mona may I come in?". It's Nick. I'm sure of it. I yelled out "Sure." but he hesitated to come in because he thought I sleep naked. Well, I probably would've slept naked if it weren't for his mom. Nick's mom had been kind enough to lend me some of her clothes and it's a good thing we're almost the same size.
Nick came in and was relieved to see me in clothes but there was something else in his eyes that I couldn't quite tell. I patted the spot next to me gesturing him to sit down. As Nick sat down beside me, I suddenly felt uneasy and tense. I don't know what this feeling is but it sure is weird and I don't like it.
"Good thing you're awake. Mom's been cooking breakfast and asked me to fetch you. So wanna come down now?", he asked me but I felt like there was something else he wants to tell me but just tries to hide it anyways.
"Nick, is there something bothering you?", I asked him clearly ignoring his question. As I said that Nick's eyes began to dart all around the room and he blushed and began sweating. (which I thought was funny. I know. I'm a bad friend *pouts*)
"W-well..there is s-something I want t-to say to y-you.", he stammered and began fiddling with his fingers. I put a hand on his knee and told him he can tell me anything. A mega blush grew on his face. What the fudge is going on?
"Mona, I like you okay. Not like you, but "like you" like you. I want to protect you. I don't want to see you sad and I want to keep you happy. Like always. I liked you since the day I saw you and it kept on going on and on. I never felt this way to any of the girls at school. Just you.", he finished. Then started looking at me. He stared into my grey eyes. His blue-grey ones now filling with longing and sadness.
I was speechless at what my bestfriend, my only friend, said. He likes me? I mean what is there to like about me. I'm short(like 5"4 or something and to some that's average but I feel short), my hair is always a mess, I dress up like a boy, I don't do girly stuff like make up and the whole shizass and I am loud. Annoyingly loud. Plus, I'm weird. Real weird.
"Why?", I asked Nick because I don't really know what else to say.
"Why what?", asked Nick, clearly confused.
"Why do you like me?", I asked.
"I like you because it's just the way I feel about you. ", Nick smiled. "How about you? Do like me as well?" A slight tinge of hurt in his voice makes it clear that he will break down if I told him I don't like him.
I took a deep breath and said " I like you too Nick. Heck I might even love you." I grinned at him like an idiot and his face clearly states that he was the happiest he can be.
He dived forward and crushed me on the bed and I squeaked at what he did. He laughed and kissed me on the lips.
I was just hating the thought of him being my boyfriend but now, he's crashing his lips against mine. Maybe I do love Nick from way back then but I was just to shy to say it.
I pushed Nick away from my lips and said "Let's go get some breakfast first kay? I'm not food so don't eat me."
He chuckled at what I said then stood up to help me get up . As I got up, he pulled me into a bone crushing hug and gave me a quick peck on the lips. We both smiled at each other then intertwined our fingers as we make our way down the stairs to get some breakfast.
