It Started With A Friendship #Wattys2016

Chapter 23-Take it all

I look over to him as he is driving me back to my place, I shake my head then look out of the view of my mirror.

"There was no need to drive me home" I scoffed at him.

"Well I'm not allowing you to wait for a taxi my place is on the way"

"I can easily look after myself you know that" I folded my arms then just looking out of the car window not allowing him to make eye contact with me, what did he actually think he was doing we had broken up weeks ago & I would much prefer him to continue us not to be friends it just made things worse.

I do wish I was still in Vegas right now but of course I was not my job was in Boston so I always had to come home well it was my home town my friends are here as well as my family I would never leave them alone my phone pinged in my pocket, I caught Nick looking at me I unlocked my phone.

"Nice for you to leave without saying goodbye"-Zak

I did not even reply to it I felt the urge to cry but I was not going to not in front of Nick he would ask what the matter was & I did not want to speak about them to him. But of course I fount tears falling from my eyes I felt Nick put his hand onto mine he knew I would not take his but I guess the thought was there.

We quickly got to my place & he helped me to get my suitcase into my place before standing at the door us both looking at each other no idea what to even say. He slowly walked towards me then putting his arms tightly around me as my face went into his chest I did not put my arms around him, I did not want him to think that we had a chance again I had no idea what to do right now.

"I'm stopping will make you some dinner & coffee" I nodded not saying yes or no & allowing him to go into my kitchen as I sat in my front room with the fire switched on straight away then switching on the TV to the news channel then pulling the spare fleece of the sofa putting my feet on the small coffee table then wrapping myself up in the fleece then taking all my distractions to the TV.

Nick walked in with a tray full of food & coffee.

"Hope you don't mind I just raided the cupboards" he placed the tray on the table taking everything of it & putting it all on the table then setting the tray on one of the empty chairs then joining me on the sofa grabbing the glass of water he had gotten himself.

"So I know you probably don't want to speak about it but do you?"

"No I don't!" I gave him an angry look.

"Change of subject then.......hows work going its been a while since we worked out together or anything"

"Its good of course that is why I was in Vegas" he nodded & sat forward grabbing a bowl of snacks then sitting back beginning to eat we could cut the atmosphere with a knife it was that intense, I just hope he goes home soon or it could end badly.

I Finished watching the news then headed into the kitchen to make myself some more coffee I was watching the machine when I turned around & Nick was sat there looking at me he winked at me & smiled as he took a short look away from his phone then back to it.

I guess he was hinting at something as much as I did not want to end up with us in bed again or even kissing I was beginning to warm to him again, you know what they say "You never miss anything until its gone" & of course I felt that way him being in my house made it more difficult then to just not have in the kitchen right now but I had no idea if that is what he wanted again.

But since I had my own place I could do what the hell I liked & no Sophia to tell me what to do I turned on my Ipod Dock before sitting down next to Nick & drinking my coffee as he continued on his phone checking hit twitter & Facebook I took a deep breathe placing my mug of coffee down onto the counter then placing my palm flat on his leg at first he did not notice it until he looked down & he saw me using the other arm to look at him with my elbow on the island I saw his Adam's apple go down his throat a little as he gulped.

Both our eyes met & we just sat there not saying a word his hand eventually met mine as our fingers locked with each others, we both smiled at each other in away I knew Nick would always be here with Zak this is not what he wanted but I wanted it I wanted them both in my life would I actually come to the decision to give one up or have them both just for "Friends with Benefits" Only time would tell I guess...........

Hey Guys What Do You Think Should Happen ????
