CHAPTER 8

~edited version~

I sat in his car, folding my legs underneath me. I was about halfway done from completing  the process, when nicks voice interrupted me. 

“Hey, no feet on my baby please,”  he said, with wide eyes full of alarm. 

“How can you be in love with your car?” I muttered.

I stopped midway, and slowly put my feet down, keeping my eyes on him the whole time. 

His gaze seemed to be locked into mine as I sat there, holding my breath for what seemed like an eternity. After what felt like hours, but what really must have been seconds, my gaze flitted away from his, unnerved by the electricity in the air. I let out a gust or air, which seemed to snap  him out of it too. He cleared his throat and turned the key in the ignition.

  As the car rumbled to life, its soft purr vibrating beneath me, massaging me, I realized just how tired I was. I laid my head on the headrest, closing my eyes.

“Brooke? Brooke, wake up, your home,”

I heard a gentle voice try to revive me. 

“5 more minutes, mom,”

I groaned. 

I heard a faint chuckle as a rock hard plane pressed against me and a pair of strong hands wrapped around me, lifting me up from the seat. 

I was semi conscious when I heard a door click close, and someone softly padding up the carpet steps and lay me on a fluffy bed. I kept my eyes closed, waiting for whoever it was to leave so I could go back to sleep. 

Instead, I felt the bed dip by my pillow, and someone stroking my forehead.

"If only you knew how I felt " a deep velvety voice whispered. 

It was about then that I felt a pair of soft lips press down on mine. 

I gasped, opening my eyes instantaneously and freezing on the spot because of the cold shiver that were running down my spine, and to recover from the sudden dizziness. 

The pair of lips immediately retracted, leaving me to search the room for the intruder. 

I sat up, propping myself up on one elbow, to see Nick sitting there, stiff as a board, waiting for my reaction.

"I-I-I'm so-I'm so sorry--I did--I didn't- know what--I was-I was-doing" 

He stammered. 

He was looking for forgiveness. Or was he? Was this just a ploy to see if he could make me go weak at the knees? No way in he'll was that ever going to happen. Ever. 

Right? 

Yes. Absolutely. 

I was furious. 

“WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!” I yelled, practically jumping up on the bed and kicking the hell out of him. 

He seemed taken aback at my-- well, repulsion--- , for his electric blue eyes were wide and gaping at me. 

“YOU THINK YOU CAN BARGE IN HERE AND TRY SMOOCHING ME WHILE IM ASLEEP?!!?? ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR MIND???  GET OUT!!!”

I pointed a finger at the door. 

“But—“

“OOOOUUUUTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!”

I screamed. I tried to stand up on the bed to be more intimidating, but my stupid klutziness had struck yet again. I wobbled on the bed on my knees for about a second, and then my body leaned over. I shut my eyes, waiting for me to land on the ground, but it never came. Instead, I landed straight into Nicks extended arms. 

Thank you, fate, how original. 

“OUCH!! “

I cried as my shoulder landed against his rock hard abs. 

“Hey, easy there, babe”. he laughed.

How could he laugh at a time like this?

I just looked up at him, giving him the death glare. I had been doing that a lot lately.

“Why do I always end up saving your life?”

He smiled. 

i scoffed. “Yeah right,”. 

“And don’t think this changes anything, get out”

I said. 

He sighed in defeat, walking over to my door. 

What hurt me more, my shoulder or the hurt look that crossed his face when he looked back at me? 

Definitely his face. 

No, NO, Brooke, snap out of it!! It's just a plan to see how and when he could make me go weak at the knees. It's just a plan!!  You can’t think like this, he hurt you! You and he were friends since the 1st grade and he betrayed you!
