Closeted

Chapter 10

   I wake up realizing I was sleeping till one in the afternoon. I let a moan and then turn my face to the other side of the bed. I never wanted to leave the comfort of my bed.

I pick up my phone and see that Nick has texted.

“Now can we hang out now? :)” it read

“Of course! Pick me up around 2ish?” I respond

“Okay, can’t wait to see you. :)”

“You too :)” I text back

I smile at my phone then put it down and go downstairs to the laundry room to see if I have any clothes I forgot to hang up.

I end up settling for a T shirt that had the band ‘The Police’, white skinny jeans to contrast off the solid black tee and black converse. I walk back up stairs to brush my teeth and put on cologne then back down stairs to wait for Nick.

My mom notices me and smiles, “How are you today?”

“I’m okay.” I said smiling back

“Any plans for today?” She responds

“I am going to hang out with Julia” I lied

“anyone else?”

“McKenzie, Emily and Nick” I half lie

“Well have fun! I am going to take a shower.” She said smiling

I notice Nick pull into the driveway.

I told my mom bye and then walked outside toward his car.

I had no idea where we were planning on going but as long as I am with Nick I am sure it will be great.

I see Nick and smile but then reality hits me… reminding me of the night before.

My smile turns into a guilty smile and then quickly fades away. I look out the window to avoid eye contact as he pulls out of the driveway.

“Where are we going?” I said turning back to look at him.

“You’ll see.” He smirks

“Can you just tell me.”

He ignores me and answering by giving me a smile and then turns back to look at the road.

“Whatever” I said rolling my eyes but in a playful way.

My phone vibrates and I read a text from Logan… He must have gotten my number from Emily.

“Hey, what’s up?” It read.

I put my phone down and ignore it even though part of me wants to respond.

I don’t like Logan but I can’t deny that attractive was an understatement for his gorgeous looks and his smile reels me in like a fishing rod but I also can’t contradict the butterflies when I am with Nick and the comfort I feel having Nick’s hand link into mine so perfectly. Nick and I… felt right. I felt whole.

(Not to mention that Nick also posses the same qualities I just described about Logan)

I look at Nick and smile.

“There’s no where special you can go in Seattle besides downtown really.”

“You don’t know that.” He smirks

I read a sign that says Washington Park Arboretum.

He’s taking me to a park?

“We’re here!” He says turning to me to smile.
