DARK PARADISE.

Chapter 27.

" I have something to confess." Anna spoke up.

" Hmm?" Kate looked at her, giving her full attention.

" I still can't believe that you and Nick, are at that stage of your lives."

" Do you think it's too soon?"

" With how much you two adore each other, I'm surprised you didn't do it the first year ." Anna said, making them both smile.

" That's a bit dramatic." Kate playfully rolled her eyes.

"Hey, take it from one of your witnesses, it was game over the minute you both admitted you liked each other."

" I did think he was too good for me." Kate admitted.

" And he thought the same."

Kate shook her head, " no way."

"Girl, you were in your own little world to notice how nervous he got, whenever you showed up. You are just that girl."

" I can't imagine it." Kate said as she continued walking, with Anna following suit.

They had been walking for a while now. Kate could admit that this was totally a need because she now felt calmer. After what happened, her emotions had been at an awful high, and her desire to leave, grew more.

" Honestly, it hasn't sunk in yet, it's too unreal, you know." Kate admitted once again.

" Believe it sister!" Anna playfully nudged Kate's shoulder," you guys love each other, it's pretty obvious to anyone."

" Are you sure about that?" Kate said with a certain look, that made Anna to sigh. " Forget about her."

" Hard to do that when she has every intention to be around him."

" She's delusional enough to think there is still a chance for her and Nick." Anna complained. " That won't happen."

" You've got to admit, her feelings never wavered."

Anna shook her head, " no, don't start giving Stacey credit for all the nonsense, we've had to tolerate this whole time."

Kate chuckled, seeing Anna's facial expression. Her friend never shied away from expressing how she felt.

" I mean Nick is one of the most irresistible guys at our school."

" And what about you?"

Kate only shrugged her shoulders.

" Let me tell you my unbiased opinion, you are one of the most beautiful girls at our school, you might not hear it because many are low-key jealous."

" Are you sure it's not biased?" Kate teased her friend.

" Yes, yes and you know what? The fact that you and Nick are together, is too perfect."

Kate chuckled, shaking her head slightly.

" So forget about what others think, especially miss delulu."

" Well, while she still lives in delulu land, she's not making it easy to be around her." Kate frowned.

" And you don't have to tolerate her nonsense, not that Nick will be able to, for much longer after today."

This peaked Kate's curiosity, " What do you mean?"

" Lets just say he wasn't really impressed by what she did earlier , and he made sure that she knew."

" Hopefully he'll set things straight with her and maybe, she will finally understand boundaries if it comes from him."
