Falling For Your Eyes

The Start

Nikki's Pov

I slowly opened my eyelids. My dark brown eyes were met by the rainy Florida weather. Looking over towards Devon's bed I noticed she wasn't there. One of my feet was resting on the floor. Putting the other one down I got up . Walking toward the coffee pot I noticed a small pink sticky note. With purple ink it read: Went to the gym be back in 1 hour -Devon x. I let out a small sigh of relief because I was asleep before she came home. Pouring a cup of tea I walked over to the bathroom. Adjusting the water I soaked my long dark brown spiral curl hair in water. After pondering over life I got out. My purple aussie hair gel was on the counter. I picked it up and applied a quarter sized amount on my palm. After spreading it all over I threw a headband in my hair and got dressed. My outfit consisted of a white v neck , denim shorts and red vans. As I was getting my shoes on Devon walked through the door.

Walking in our hotel room I noticed Nikki was fully dressed. Waving to her I went into the bathroom. Today was an intense workout. I made sure to scrub my body extra well. Getting out of the shower I toweled dried my hair. I was going to straighten it but I saw no point as it was humid and rainy. It would just curl up anyway. Finally I decided to braid my hair again. Spritzing some hairspray in I got dressed. Quickly I threw together an outfit because Nikki was ready for breakfast. Pawing through my suitcase I pulled out a casual button up shirt that tied in the front, red shorts and navy blue Toms.

“Ready to go?”I directed towards Nikki.

“Yup,” She replied hopping of the bed.

We decided to eat in our hotel's restaurant for breakfast because it was pouring and we didn't want to walk anywhere. Both of us ended up ordering Nutella Belgium waffles with eggs. I was starving. When our food finally came out I couldn't wait to eat it. Four Belgium waffles stacked with Nutella in the middle and on top of the last one. Powered sugar was powered on the top of the last waffle. The eggs were perfectly scrambled.

“ So..Devon can I tell you something?” Nikki asked swallowing a piece of waffle.

“ Yeah sure what's up?” I responded taking a sip of skim milk

“ You know how JC walked me home last night?”

I nodded because I had egg in my mouth.

“ Well when he walked me to our room..when he said goodbye he kissed me.”

“That's fantastic, Nikki aw I'm so happy for you.”

“Thanks,” her cheeks turning crimson.

“So now what I have to tell you.....last night Connor kissed me.”

“Holy shit that's incredible.” The table next to us looked over and gave us a disapproving glance.

“Yeah and he asked me to lunch.”

“ You better choke down your waffles so you can get ready.”

JC's Pov

Connor had been going on about him kissing Devon. He's not sure if it would work. If the age difference would be weird? If she liked him back?If the distance would be bad? Finally I got tired of hearing about it.

“I kissed Nikki,” I spit out finally.

“Oh cool bro!” Connor responded looking at me

“How was it?”

“ Pretty solid if you ask me.”

“Does the age difference between you guys bother you?”

“ Nah, the way I look at it Connor why pass up an amazing girl just because she's not in your age requirements. She could be the love of your life and you would let her pass by. When you find someone you make a connection don't ever let them go . Some people spend their whole life finding that person but never do. We Connor are the lucky ones. You may not know it now but we are. Don't let the age gap deter you. I swear you'll regret it. If you feel the same way about Devon that I do about Nikki then don't let her go.

Connor's POV

JC was right, why should the age difference bother me. I'll figure it all out over lunch. Speaking off that it's 1:00 pm I gotta go pick up Devon. Taking a deep breath I knocked on Devon's hotel room. After about 10 seconds I heard the lock click. The door opening I was greeted by Devon's smiling face. I gave her a hug as she said a quick “goodbye” to Nikki.

Like yesterday I took her hand in mine. It was so small compared to my big man hands.

“ Here we are,” I declared gesturing towards the restaurant. I picked out. I had high hopes that this day was going to be perfect.
