It Could Be More

Chapter 10

Nick had stayed at my house for the past week and things have been amazing. We went to the movies together, he took me on dates, and every night I got to fall asleep next to him. Scott hadn't texted or called since our last talk and I didn't see him at all at school. I felt bad, but I know in the end I'll be happier than I would've been if I had took him back.

"Morning babe." Nick said sleepily as he looked over at me, because I was standing by my drawer. "Good morning." I walked over to the bed and I crawled on top of him. I was straddling him and I looked down at him. "How did you sleep?" I ask and he put his hands on my thighs. "Pretty good, I got to sleep by you so I've been sleeping pretty good." I leaned down and kissed his forehead. "Do you want something to eat?" I asked and he smirked "Yeah, you." He winked and I playfully slapped his chest "Nick!" He laughed "I'm only messing with you." I stand up and give him a smirk. "Sure you are." I grab his hand, "Come on I'll make some eggs or something." I began to descend the staircase and I turn on the stove. "What are you in the mood for?" I ask him and he sits down and shrugs. "Scrambled eggs and some bacon?" He asked and I nodded, smiling. I pulled the bacon out of the fridge and I started the other stove. "Here, you can make the bacon, you make it better than I do somehow." He began to put bacon in the pan and I puts the eggs in the other one. The food was quickly prepared and I got out some plates. I had to get on my tippy toes to grab the plates and he came up behind me and he held my hips from behind. "You're so short babe." He said and tickled my side. "AHH stop!" I giggled and he grabbed the plates for me. I got some eggs and put them on both the plates, I set some bacon beside them and grabbed a couple forks from the drawer. I went to the fridge and I grabbed some shredded cheese putting them on my eggs, they quickly melted and Nick took some cheese and put them on his eggs too. I sat down at the counter and began to eat. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I began to eat. Nick was only halfway finished by the time I was entirely done. I put my dishes in the sink and I waited until he was done. He put his dish in the sink and and came up to me and hugged me tightly.

I hugged back and I looked up at him. I had something perfect planned for him. I was going to make tonight the best night of his life. He made me happy and I was ready to take the next step in our relationship. He pushed the hair out of my hair "So what do you wanna do today?" He asked and I shrugged. "I'm not sure, we could go to the ice cream shop down the street?" I asked and he nodded. "Lets go." I smile I pulled on my shoes and I walked outside. He followed and we began to walk down the sidewalk. I looked over at Scott's house and I saw him upstairs. He was with some girl, he was shirtless and his tongue was down her throat. I knew he hadn't changed, he's a piece of shit and always will be. He turned his head and saw me, the look on his face showed that he knew he had been caught, his curtain quickly shut and I looked at Nick. We got to the ice cream shop. I looked over the menu and just decided on a chocolate malt. He got a hot fudge and caramel sundae. We sat down on a table with an umbrella over and I drank my malt. There was a cherry on his sundae and he gave me it. I loved cherries. After we finished it I was completely stuffed from the malt, bacon and eggs. "I do NOT wanna walk back." I laughed "Im too stuffed." I pat my belly. "I'll carry you if I want." I shake my head "I'm stuffed, not helpless." I laugh "Come on let's go cuddle." He quickly stood up and we started to walk back to my house. I walked inside. "Wait here." I say and I ran downstairs. There were flower petals scattered on the floor, there was a dim lighting, there was a movie in the DVD player. Tonight had better be perfect. I ran back upstairs. "Sorry just had to check something." He shrugged it off and ran upstairs, I followed and laid on the bed beside him. "I need to talk to you about something." My stomach cramped. Oh god. "What is it?" I asked, nervous for the answer. "This last week has been amazing, I've felt things I've never felt before, I've seen things I haven't seen before, and I just I want you to know how much I care about you." I felt a blush creep upon my cheeks and he obviously saw because of the smirk on his face. "That makes me so happy. You make me so happy." I felt my heart flutter and he grabbed my hand and gently squeezed.

A few hours later it got dark out. We went out for another thing of ice cream for lunch and then we went to the park for a few hours. It was finally time to surprise him. "Nicholas..?" He turned and looked at me "Close your eyes." His eyes shut and I grabbed his hand and pulled him downstairs. "Open." He opened his eyes, the lights were still low, there was soft music playing, and there were flower petals still perfectly spread out on the ground. "Maddie what is this?" A smile spread across his face. "Just because I wanted to show how much I cared about you." He walked closer to me and his hand held my cheek and he leaned down and kissed me "It's perfect.." He whispered into the kiss and I smiled while he kissed me. He pulled away, but his face was still super close to me. I pulled him to the couch and he sat down on it. I crawled into his lap and I was sitting, facing him. He wiggles his eyebrows and I gently hit his shoulder "You're so nasty!" He laughed and held my hips. "Oh whatever you love me." Love. I did love him, but what if he hurts me? "I have to ask you something." He grabbed my hand "Yeah?" I stood up and I smiled. "I really really like you and you were right, this week has been amazing and I'm so happy I got to spend the entire week with you, so..will you go out with me?" I asked him and he started to pout. "Hey! I was supposed to ask you!" I smiled and he pulled me close.

"But yes, of course I will go out with you." My mind and my heart raced. He said yes. I thought he would, but now it was official. He was mine and I was his. This was absolutely perfect.
