Unexpected yet Meant to be

Chapter 10

Nikki's POV

"Because I dont love her. I love you, Nicks. We broke up because I wasnt inlove with her. It was you all along Nikki. No one esle" he said after what seemed like forever.

Did I hear that right? Was I hallucinating? Why. Why of all this time I was trying to forget you and give someone else a chance, you'd come to me saying you love me. Is this serious? What do I do. 

If Racielle was here, what would she say? Im sure she'd be surprised as I am. 

"Im totally unprepared for this." I managed to say to him cause I think he was waiting for awhile now.. Niks. What are you feeling right now. Are you liking Jason? Or are you just fooling yourself? You know you liked him. He was the only one how's been there for you when you felt all alone. He was the one who listened to you when you were whining like a baby. I thought at first I had to stop, but he listened patiently. He'd comfort me at times when I push everyone away. He was always there. Who am I fooling. I love him. Not Jason.

"I know. Im surprise myself.. Im sorry. Please dont be bothered by my sudden confession.." Alex said

"The thing is, I like you too." I said it as quickly as possible but he still got what I said.

"Are you serious?"

"No. Im kidding" I said with a dead flat tone. He knows when Im being sarcastic. He tried to laugh awkwardly and I smiled at his foolishness.

"Uhm you dont mind the age gap?" he asked

"Not really. The thing was, you were there when I pushed everyone away. You were the one who stayed."

"Cause"

"Cause?"

"I just didnt want to leave you alone. You'll never be alone when you're with me. I promise you I'll take care for you and I'll never leave your side."

I couldn't stop tears from falling. I coudln't believe it. I've always cried because of Alex. But before it was all heart ache, I can't believe right know I'm crying because I'm so happy. 

"Hey are you okay?" he asked

"Yeah *hic* Im fine."

"You're crying again."

"Yeah I know. But this one's a good one. Dont worry."

"Can I come over? I want to see you."

"It's too late Alex, we'll see eachother on Sunday.. okay?"

"Guess so. You have plans tomorrow? Saturday?"

"Mmmm. Yeah.. I do."

"Really? Where to?"

"Not sure. Think we're going to the mall? Joseph will pick me up and we'll meet up with the rest."

"Sounds many"

"Yep. Class. We're having a farewell party for Marie since she's leaving for Canada"

"Oh I see.. well have fun then.."

"Yep I will. Goodnight Alex"

"Goodnight Niks. I love you."

I almost gasped. I was blushing hard my face was burning. But I had to respond.

"I L..Loo..ve yo.you too." I swear I heard him chuckle.

"Goodnight" he said finally and I hanged up. I couldn't breathe. My heart was beating really fast. Seriously? Alex just said he loves me. Is this true or am I just dreaming?
