Opposites Attract

Chapter 4~Nick's Apartment

~Nick's POV~

Work was almost unbearable. After me and Judy finally calmed down, we went back to the paperwork and pretended that our little 'moment' never happened.

It was hard.

I couldn't concentrate at all, since all it did was replay over and over in my mind. It scattered mixed emotions all over my train of thought, making me confused and curious as to why I had melted all over her like that. I mean I never actually thought I had feelings for the bunny. Do I have feelings for her? I always push my feelings away. I'm used to it. It's easier. But these feelings don't seem to budge, and it's unsettling me...

"So...are we still up for tonight?" Judy questions, uncertainly looking up at me.

We were walking back from work together as always. Me and Judy live close and it was nice to have company on the way home. It was a humid night with a clear sky. The streetlights reflecting on Judy's eyes made a purple glow, adding to the glow at the tips of her fur too... Was she always this beautiful?

I try to think of an answer. I've completely forgotten about our plan for tonight. It felt about fifteen minutes and none of us had said a word to each other. Well, until now.

"Why of course we are, Carrots." I replied, smiling down at her. She returned the look and looked down at the ground.

I gave in. We had planned to hang out at my new apartment for weeks now, and since that I've started working, I've managed to scrap up some cash-with help from Judy, to buy my very own place. It's not that impressive but, it's home. I would be lying if I said I wasn't dreading tonight's events. However, I could see the hope in her eyes when she asked, so I couldn't let her down.
Looks like I'm gonna have to try and manage all this a little while longer...

~.~.~

We finally arrive after walking down the narrow corridor. It's always a good thing that I live on the ground floor-no stairs to climb. I watch Judy look around the living room while slowly shutting the door behind me. I start to feel insecure.

"I...I know it's not much. But-"

"I don't need much." She gives a sweet smile. I tilted my head and beamed at her. She always knew how to reassure me when I needed it.

"Uh," she clears her throat. "So...what were you planning for us to do?" Judy asks, clutching her arms and blinking at me.

"Well the thing is..." I chuckled quietly. "I didn't quite think about that part yet." I sheepishly rub the back of my neck.

I hear her giggle and she lightly shakes her head at me. I could breathe easier now that the awkwardness had started to thin out a little. Maybe we can enjoy ourselves tonight.

"That's alright. We can just go with the flow of things! Shall we watch a movie or something?" She shrugs, gesturing towards the couch.

My ears perk up from the idea. "Sure!" I walk over to my cupboard where I store all the DVDs that I had recently bought. "What are you in the mood for?"

"Hmm..." She leaps onto the couch and makes herself at home; making me smile. "You choose!"

"Alright, lets see what we've got here." I go through all the different genres in my mind. Romance is definitely a bad idea. Comedy...could contain romance. Action could contain that too. I try to rank my brains to find the only genre with the least amount of romantic awkwardness in. Horror seems the best option.
