Chapter 5

...End of flashback

You can call it fate, coincidence, destiny.. whatever really, all I know is that I'm hella lucky to be with her right now.

She's been so sweet to me that it's actually heartwarming, I don't know if she normally treats people like this or not, but yet, I feel so special.

Zoey's POV

"See ya" I greeted my friend, Austin, as we stopped infront of my car.
You obviously never heard of Austin before.
Mm, he's smart, nice and completely gorgeous. He has short curly brown hair with a streak of blue -that he dyes basically twice a week, and he's my age, even though he looks like a uni student.
He's an artist as well, the first time I've ever met him was in the Art Room, it was my first class when I started attending at Westlake, so he showed me around the school and we've been really close ever since.
I do have to mention that I used to have a crush on him, a strong one, and we flirted.. a lot, but my feelings suddenly faded away.

I turned on the car, when I heard a cry, out of nowhere, shouting, followed by a knocking on my front window. I smiled when I recognized who it was.

" I missed the bus, gimme a ride?" Nick said, with his cute American accent, as he removed the sweat that was dropping from his face with a tissue. I giggled at how drained he looked, and nodded.
" So who's that guy?" Nick said, raising an eyebrow.
"Which guy?"
" The one you were standing with"
" Uhm, yeah, this is Austin, my best friend." I replied with a little smirk, why was he so curious to know who I was standing with?
"Oh, great! I was just curious." He answered back, as if reading my mind.
I let out another chuckle, and turned the radio on to listen​ to some Halsey.
~~~~~~

We got back home, I didn't have any assignments due tomorrow so I decided to go annoy Nick for a bit.
" Hey there" He whispered, in a deep voice that frightened me.
" How did you see me? I was hiding"
" You're not very good at it"
" Meh... What are you up to?" I asked, taking a seat beside him.
" Nothing much, I'm really bored."
" It's 6:00 pm! I'll go watch the sunset, wanna join?" I offered.
" I'd love to" He answered, as we made our way to the small garden at the back of our house.
The time was perfect, and the place where we sat was even more perfect. Everything around us was too gorgeous to be real, the crimson red roses filled the garden, and the sky was painted flawlessly, all pink and purple, as the golden glow of the sun began to set.

Nick and I didn't utter a word, we sat there for a few seconds, admiring the beauty of nature.
Even though we remained silent, this was too unreal, being this close to him.

I layed my head on his shoulder, making him shift in his place so he can take more control of my loose body.
I felt Nick's hands tracing my arms up and down, making me shiver in response​, and I couldn't stop the smile from crossing my lips.

" I like this" Nick broke the awkward silence with those three words that made my heart skip a beat in excitement. " I like us"
~~~~~~~~~~
Two hours later, whenever Nick meets my gaze, he gives me a shy smirk, and looks away. The situation was awkward, yet so special.
I had to visit Lauren, she was feeling much better and said it's okay if I met her, so I got ready and decided to visit her.
" Erm, Nick" I made the first move.
"Yeah" Still avoiding my gaze, he shaked his head.
" I'm visiting Lauren, my best friend who's sick, wanna give me a ride? I'm so exhausted." My voice was so low, it was nearly a whisper. But I was really so stressed, school was so tiring lately and I couldn't get my mind off things
" Sure! Are you okay?" Nick asked, with concern and care in his eyes, that almost made me melt.
" Yeah, just school stress" I replied, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. His face turned tomato red, and I chuckled at his reaction.

NICK'S POV

This afternoon, man. I just can't put into words, this girl is making me feel like a softie.
Is this what love feels like? True love?
I have no idea, for I have never felt this way before.

Our drive to Lauren's home was silent, only giving each other smirks whenever we made eye contact. It was our kind of humour.

Zoey kept giving me directions, drive here, drive there, go right, go left.

Until we reached the house, and I wish we never did.
