Until You Tell Me To (NIAN fanfic)

Chapter 3

Ian POV

Three weeks after Nina and I announced to the public that we're not together anymore filming started again. And guess what they started filming first?

Delena scenes.

Yay! Sarcasm intended.

I know Nina and I agreed to not be awkward at work but I can't help it. I don't really mind the typical make out scenes, I expected that already. The sincere moments take a lot from me. It makes me remember. Remember my moments with Nina. The ones that will always be with me. For example, our first Christmas together.

*flashback*

I knock on her door and someone shouts from inside.

"Comin'!"

I wait and when she opens the door she's wearing her red coat over her turtle neck and some jeans and her maroon beanie in place.

"You ready?" I ask her.

"Yeah. Let's go." She says after giving me a peck on the lips.

"Okay."

"I didn't expect media here. How'd they even know we were here?" She asks in a annoyed tone.

"I don't know but let's just try to not mind them okay? We're about to get our first christmas tree together. Let's try to make a good memory out of it." I say while smiling at her.

"Okay." She pouts.

"Nina, which one do you want?"

"The tallest one over there." She says as she points to the tallest out of all the trees here.

"Okay then. It might be too big to fit in my house but I'll make it work." I say with a smile.

"Ready?" I ask.

"Yeah!" She shouts like a six year old.

I plug the lights and the christmas tree brightens.

"It's beautiful." She says in awe.

"Yeah, 'coz you helped me decorate it." I smile at her.

I stand up as I hear someone knock on the door.

I open the door and it's the pizza we ordered. I pay the delivery guy and I give him a huge tip 'coz it's christmas.

"Nina it's the pizza!"

"Hurry now. I'm hungry." She whines.

I put the pizza on the table and we start to eat.

"Nina, are you really okay with having just us for this christmas?" I ask her.

"Of course. It's Christmas now and I'm enjoying it with you. Even though we're just on the couch watching tv and eating pizza."

"Good. Because I'm happy right now too." I smile then I hug her.

"I love you." I tell her.

"I love you too." She answers back.

*flashback end*

"Earth to Ian." Someone says and I do wake up from my day dream.

"He's drooling." Steven says.

"He is. Isn't he? This is weird. Who drools while daydreaming?" Paul says.

"Shut up." I say playfully.

"What were you daydreaming about? You were smiling like an idiot." Steven asks.

"Rainbows and unicorns." I say with fake happiness.

"You're sounding gay right now." Steven says while backing away.

"Steven. I have a confession." I touch his cheek while acting gay. "You're my long time celebrity crush. I love you." I say while stepping close to him. Trying my very best to hold in my laugh.

He backs off.

"What's wrong Steven? You don't like me back?" I say while faking hurt.

"You're hurting my gaydar." I say still holding in my laugh.

"You're weird." He says before walking away.

Paul and I end up laughing so loud.

Candice notices us then approaches.

"What are you guys laughing about?" She asks.

"Just a joke that worked so well on Steven." I say while laughing a little bit.

She looks at us.

"I don't even wanna know." She says with a slight giggle.

"Why so happy today?" Paul asks.

"Nothin'." She says innocently.

"Come on. You just made me curious." Paul says.

"Fine. But promise not to tell anyone yet?" She says while pointing to both Paul and I.

"Promise." Paul says.

"Ian?" She asks.

"Okay. Okay." I say.

She holds up her left hand and it explains it all.

"JK proposed to me!" She says with a slight squeal.

"Congratulations." Paul says.

"I'm happy for you. Especially for JK. He's lucky." I say.

"Thanks you guys." She says while holding our hands.

What is wrong with my life?

I was happy three months ago. Three months ago I was a really happy guy. I had everything, great family, friends and I had the girl.

THE GIRL.

But in a day I lost her, by a decision made by strong emotions.

If you asked me months ago where I'd see my life go, I would never picture this.

But I have to live with this.

Because right now, THIS is my LIFE.

For some reason I got led here.

In this situation.

So I guess I'd just have to find a way to figure things out. Because right now I'm confused as hell. And I can't be like this. I need to go back to being ME.

The ME that can care less about feelings. The Me that has a chance of moving on.
