I'll never be the same (Dork Diaries Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Nikki's POV

Me, Chloe, Zoey, Macus, Theo and Brandon arrived to the beach and put or towels on the burning sand.
"So, how have you been?" Brandon asked me.
"I've been fine. You know, now that vacation started I really don't know what I'll be doing all summer" I said, my voice a little shy.
"Then we can hang out sometimes. O-only if you want, of course."
I smiled, "Of course Brandon! I'd love that"
He smiled back at me and we just kind of stood there staring into each other's eyes until Marcus suggested we should go all to the water.
"We should go with them" Brandon said, looking kind of hesitant. I stood there, not sure of what to do.
"Aren't you going to take off your clothes?" He asked, taking his shirt off.
Suddenly, I just stopped breathing. Okay, not literally.
It's just...he looked so hot without a shirt, goodness...
"Um, yeah, of course I'm going to" I said, a little too nervous.
Hey, don't judge me. I had the right to be nervous. I was just about to wear a freakin' bikini in front of my crush.
I slowly took off my clothes, leaving me in only my bikini, and tried to avoid eye contact with Brandon.
I finally had the courage to look at him, and his eyes were wide as he looked at my body.
Great. Now I don't know if it's a good or bad thing.
"Um...so...let's go take a swim with the rest of them?" I asked, trying to break the ice.
"Uh...sure! Let's go" He said a little caught off guard.

Brandon's POV

Damn it! She's hot!
Oh, come on, Brandon. Don't be a pervert.
Try not to look at her flawless body, you might make her feel uncofortable.
Man, Nikki's perfect. Every single thing about her is perfect. She's gorgeous.
And don't get me wrong. What made me fall in love with her was her personality, the way she sees things, how she always sees the bright side of things, her kindness, her smile (which, by the way, is the cutest thing ever). But damn! She looks extremely good in that bikini.
As we were going towards the sea, I couldn't help but stare at her, the wind beautifully blowing in her hair. How can she be so pretty? If I had the courage to, I'd say to her how much I lo-
"Brandon! Think fast!" I heard Nikki say.
Before I could think fast like she just said, I felt myself getting pushed to the freezing water.
I looked at Nikki, and she was laughing her butt of.
"Oh no, this means war", I thought playfully.
I stood up and before she could react, I picked her up bridal style, and tried to push her into the water, but she kept screaming and laughing and grabbing my neck, which caused me to fall into the water with her.
Both of us started laughing until we realized the position we were in: Nikki's legs wrapped around my waist, and one of my hands holding her left thigh, and the other one her waist.
"Hey! Looks like Brandon and Nikki are busy" Theo said smirking.
"No!" Nikki said, letting go of me. We were just-"
"Yeah, okay. Save the excuses for other time, now let's go to our towels, I'm freezing!" Zoey said.
Nikki looked one last time at me before she started heading towards where our stuff was.
I felt like I had to do something. So I did. I checked if any of our friends were looking and they weren't, so I thought it was the perfect moment.
I ran after Nikki and grabbed her hand, pulling her to me and kissing her soft lips.
She was surprised at first, but then slowly put her arms around my neck, and I put mine around her waist.
We just stood there kissing, as I slowly put my tongue in her mouth, and I felt her smile through the kiss. It seemed like we were the only ones in that beach, and I didn't want this moment to end.
She broke the kiss, and looked in my eyes, a shy look on her face. She bit her lip and whispered in my ear: "We better tell our friends to to home. It's getting late".
I seriously was hoping she would whisper another thing in my ear, but hey, a guy can dream.
I nodded and grabbed her hand as we walked towards our friends who were already packing our things, ready to go home.
"What took you guys so long to get here?" Chloe asked.
"Oh, nothing" I said, as Nikki looked at me and smiled, rolling her eyes.

Nikki's POV

Wow. I can't believe we kissed. For the second time! Finally!
As we were all walking home, I thought I couldn't be happier, but then, when they were going to drop me at my house, Brandon slightly leaned toward me and whispered: "Meet me at the park at 5am. I've got something to ask you"
I smiled and nodded to him, and kissed him on the cheek, making him blush and smile shyly.
"Bye guys" I say waving at my friends and giving Brandon one more glance before entering my house.
