Meeting Skies

Chapter 12

I arrived to Nicole's house around 12:36 midnight.
I don't get out of the car. We're just talking, and I'm enjoying the conversation, even though it was not interesting.
"So when will we go out again?"
He asked me as I reach for the handle to open the door.
I turn to him with a confused look on my face.
"You want to do this again?"
I ask him.
"Sure why not, I had fun. You're really cool to be around with."
"You think so?"
"Yeah."
He replies biting his lip, making him look like a bad boy.
"I'll let you know."
I respond opening the door.
"Oh wait!."
He yells as I step out. I turn to him and and see him reach to his back seat. He pulls out two white roses and hands them to me. How did he know, I love white roses. They're my favorite flower, I know it sounds basic but I just like their beauty especially the white ones because they are so pure and clean.

"You didn't have to get me flowers."
I tell him.
"But thank you."
I grab the two roses and smell them. The scent is my favorite part. They smelled so fresh, as if they were freshly picked.
"You don't know why I got you roses do you?"
He asked me with a grin spread across his face.
"I don't, am I supposed to?"
I respond to his question.
He leans towards me and reaches to grab one rose.
"Well a little birdie told me you like roses, especially white ones. This ones purpose is our first date. Do you remember, the picnic."
He hands me the flower and takes away the one on my left hand.
"And this one is for tonight."
He assures me.
"Now as long as I take you out, you will be serenaded with your favorite flower, in order to remind you that you are special."
He gives me the rose. He gets out of the car and comes my way, he leans in for a hug, I could smell his cologne on his neck.
"Thank you."
I tell him, I step away from the car and watch him drive off.
"I'll see you later."
I tell him as I softly touch the roses.
I head to the front door and press the doorbell of the house and the door quickly pops open.
There was standing Nicole with a bright smile spread across her face.

"HE GOT YOU FLOWERS!"
She squeals.
"Oh my god, come in tell me everything. Did you two kiss?Did he hold your hand? Did he ask you to be his boyfriend? How do you feel about him? Are you guys going to see each other again?."
She excitedly asks me.
"No, yes , no, I don't know and I don't know."
I respond still mesmerized by the two gifts.
She grabs my wrist and drags me to the living room.
She sits me down and asks me how it went.
"So what did you two do?"
She ask getting comfortable on the leather couch.

"Well we went out to eat, and we just talked about ourselves and we got to know each other more."
"How was the drive?, was it crazy."
"Well not until we got there, only because there was a lot of paparazzi."
"Oh my god, did they ask you questions?"
"Well they did I just couldn't really catch them because they were talking over each other."

We talked about the date for over 40 minutes. Until we started getting tired.
"So you're spending the night."
" I don't know."
I quietly respond to her question.
"Well you are."
She tells me.
"Fine, not like anyone is waiting for me at home so why not?"
I chuckle.
"You know you could always live here with me."
Nicole expresses as we head towards the stairs.

We head up to her room, and change into something more comfortable, I changed into the joggers and white t shirt I left here from last time I spent the night. We sit in front of the big plasma. Nicole starts to search through her apps on the tv and she clicks on the one with the big bright red letters "Netflix" it reads.

"Netflix and chill?" Nicole ask me with a chuckle in her voice.
I start giggling and pick up a pillow and throw it in her direction.
"Trust me sweetheart, you're barking up the wrong tree."
I tell her.
She burst out in laughter.
"So what are we watching."
I ask taking the remote control from her.
I start to press the arrows that signal the direction you want the movies to go in.
She picks the curse of chucky, I hate that fucking doll. I know it's only like two feet tall and its plastic but something about dolls creeps me the hell out.
I make Nicole keep the lights on.
Forty minutes have gone by and I have not been paying attention to the movie at all, the whole time I was thinking about how I did not tell Alex the whole story about Dylan. Alex's face of rage was buried into my head. His curiosity of wanting to know what had happened.
I pick up the remote and mute the tv.
"Why would you do that, it's at the good part!"
Nicole tells me.
" I need your advice with something."
I face her in order to get her attention from the screen.
"Ok well can it wait till the end of the movie?"
She picks up the remote and I slam it back down to the comforter.
"No I need it now."
I fiercely demand.
I can see she's starting to worry.
"Ok well talk to me."
I breath deeply.
"Well today when I was with Alex, he umm"
I pause.
"What did he do?"
Nicole asked me with her worried face getting deeper.
" He didn't do anything he just asked me about my past dating life."
Nicole becomes curious and sits up straight.
"And what did you say?"
"I talked about Dylan."
I tell her.
"Oh my god what did he say!"
"The thing is, I didn't tell him everything."
"Ok so why do you need my advice?"
"Because I don't know if I should tell Alex that Dylan."
I stop myself and stay quiet. The words could not even come out of my mouth, because just saying the word makes me feel guilty, makes me feel like trash.
Nicole places her hand on my shoulder and starts caressing me , I was thinking about how to say the word so hard that I didn't even realize the tear halfway down my cheek.
"It's ok."
Nicole whispers. She pulls me in and gives me a strong hug as she were to never let go. I start whimpering like a wounded child.
"What did I do, I told him no, but he-he didn't care."
Nicole starts to grip her hug, I could feel her crying too, I could feel her tears hitting the top of my head.
"It was not your fault."
She gently whispers.
