Day 5
Today I get to hang out with Nick. I wake up smiling about it. I get dressed in pants large sweater and boots. I grab a coat, a beanie and some gloves. I curl my hair put on light make up. I walk out. I sit in my car and buckle up. Just then I get a text.
'Hey' It read. It's from an unknown number.
'Who is this?' I ask
'It's Noah'
'How did you get mu number!?'
'Your friend Becka' I stare at the screen is he like stalking my now? I didn't answer him back after that. I start my car and drive to central park. I park and get out. Then I get a phone call.
(On the Phone)
'Hey! It's Becka did that Noah text you yet?'
'Yes. Why did you give him my number?'
'He said he was an old friend'
'And you believed him?'
'Well yeah. I remember him. He used always hang out by himself until we started to be his friend.'
'You mean lonely Noah?'
'Yep'
'Wow. Okay well now I feel bad.' She laughs
'If fine I have to go bye!'
'Yeah bye'
(End of call)
I put my phone away and find Nick. "Hey! Nick!" He turns and looks at me and smiles. "Hey Zoe you ready to go?" I nod. He keeps his distance. Weird. He likes me right? I mean I was his love. I think I'm being obsessive. What's wrong with me. Do I really need a guy to have my Christmas spirit back? I think it was always there I just want the love. I love Nick of course I do but does he still feel the same? I hope so. I think so.
"Hey Zoe!"
"What?" I com back to reality.
"I asked if you wanted to buy toys for the foster homes." I smile. "Yeah sure." We walk in the store and buy different things. "I was gonna ask someone else but she would be tired that is because she pregnant" I look at him. "Really?" He nods. "Well that's good for the father."
"Thanks." I furrow my eyebrows. Why did he say thanks? I dismiss the thought it probably meant nothing. After we're done we go to the foster or orphanage home after wrapping up the presents. We knock. "Oh hello Nick!" He gives her a hug. "Hey Elizabeth."
"Come in. Their all eating lunch in their rooms." She whispers we walk in and go to the not so big Christmas tree. "Why such a small tree?" I ask sad.
"Oh well we didn't have the money to get a bigger one so." I nod. I frown. That's sad. Everybody should have a big Christmas tree for the holidays but sadly not everyone does. Not everyone has the love you need to have that Christmas spirit. After putting the presents under the tree we talk with her a little bit and then we leave. That's was fun. I feel like I did something that will forever make me smile.
We hang out looking at the lights and stuff. I wanted to hold his hand but he always pushed that away and when I get close he steps away. Is there something wrong? I give a mental sigh and hang out with him the rest of the night. He gets a phone call and walks away. He talks and talks smiling and laughing. Something pains inside of me.
He walks back. "Hey I have to go. I'll see you later" He give me a friendly hug and then leaves. I back up and was about to turn but trip and fall into a boys arms. I look up and she blue eyes. "Oh hi Noah." I say. "Hey Zoe." We look into each others eyes but to me it's like he's staring right into my soul. His gaze travels to my heart and it skips a beat. Whoa.
I stand up straight still close to him. "Um, uh" I stutter. I can't do this I love Nick even is he's not mine. I just hope one day he will be. "Zoe?" He says. "Um. I need to go." I really didn't want to step away but I know I wanted to and had to. But my body isn't paying attention to what I want. My feet are practically frozen to the ground not wanting to move. I force my self with all my strength to move.
"Hey do you want to hang out tomorrow?" He ask with a toothy beautiful smile. I beautiful toothy smile. I notice his face features are perfect. His jaw line is perfect. His eyes are beautiful and his lips are so kissable- STOP ZOE! No way this is happening. "Yeah sure." He smiles. "Okay text me your address later. I nod. Why did I say yes? I don't like him maybe as a friend but I'm 100% sure that's all he i mean I see me I mean him or us as. You get the point.
I get in my car and drive to my house. I text him my address and then start to take a shower and go to bed. Well at least today was interesting.
