Nikes - A Blake Richardson (New Hope Club) FanFiction

The question

"You've waited for me?" I asked confused. What did he mean? I stopped in the middle of his room.

He put his laptop away, stood up and came towards me. When he arrived at me he whispered "Yes. Like every day. I've missed you." Then he gave me a kiss on my forehead.

Oh.

"Hey." Blake asked worried. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, I guess." I answered, still a bit nervous about his closeness. He didn't quite believe that.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked even more worried.

"I don't know." I answered because it was the truth.

"What's going on?" He asked now shocked and took my hand to lead me onto his bed. I let him lead me.

As we sat on his bed and he looked into my eyes I started asking the simple question which could change everything.

"Did you post something about us?"

For a moment he looked confused at me as if he didn't quite understand the question or what I meant.

Then he seemed to be sure that he hadn't gotten me wrong and said a bit in relief "No, of course not. Why are you asking?"

"I don't know, the girls at school seemed like today..." I said.

"What?" He said, still confused why I had asked him this absurd question. "You know you can trust me. We agreed that we keep it away from the public. And I keep promises. You know that." He said gently and stroke my hand.

His moves and touch on my hand made it hard to think but I had gotten better in that. Step by step my brain actually worked.

But Blake was faster. "What did the girls say today?" He asked as if he had realized only now my explanation.

My brain felt like a sponge and worked slowly so that my answer came lately but Blake didn't care. "I don't know actually. They just seemed really excited... To be honest I don't even know why exactly. It just seemed like they knew in that moment and I -"

I understood only now that I might had overreacted... Of course! I didn't even ask the girls what was going on! I felt so bad now. I just blamed Blake for something he would never do! Braking his promise. Because I didn't trust him enough.

Blake must have seen my face because he quickly pulled me into a hug. Stroking my head he said "It's alright. You can trust me, you know that. I would never do something you don't want to. And Reece and George hold their tongue as well." He tried to calm me down.

"No," I said, "This isn't the problem right now. It's me. I didn't trust you and before I even knew what was actually going on I blamed you. I'm such a bad girlf-" I interrupted myself.

"... such a bad friend." I finished the sentence correctly.

Blake let go of me to look into my eyes again. I was so disappointed about myself and was afraid how Blake would react right now. I didn't want whatever this was between the two of us to end. The fact that he still held my hand gave me security that he wouldn't end it.

"Don't worry." He said and my heard jumped once. "This is alright. It's normal. You have to earn your trust." He smiled silently.

"But normally I do trust you!" I said, still disappointed about myself.

"Don't blame yourself. I understand you. It's a difficult situation. It's alright, okay? I'm not mad at you and nothing happened." He said and gave me an encouraging smile. That helped a lot. I got always weak when Blake smiled like that. Immediately I had to smile back even if my smile was a bit sad.

"Good." He said and squeezed my hand with another smile. "And now... talking about girlfriend." He bit his lip and looked at me with a sparkle in his eyes.

Suddenly all of my sadness was gone and I looked at him with big eyes. I knew what he was going to ask now. My heart beat faster.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He directly spitted it out. Of course he could have spoken a huge speech to introduce this question but to be honest I was glad he didn't, that would have made the situation just awkward... It was common that we just spitted out what was going on in our minds. And so did he now.

A thousand thoughts would have raced along in the head of the old Selena. But I was a new Selena. Blake had made me to a quite confident girl. Without inhibitions in front of boys and the best feeling you could ever have: love.

Therefore, I spoke out the word which would change our relationship.

"Yes, of course!" I said.

He bit his lip while grinning again and said "Then I guess we are together now, aren't we?"

I grinned as well and my heart felt like it ran a marathon right now. Blake pulled my head towards him and we kissed each other. It was a long kiss and it was just like the others we had already had. Nevertheless it felt different. Now it was official. We were a couple. I was a girlfriend and he was a boyfriend. My boyfriend. I was his and he was mine.

I still couldn't believe my luck. Who had sent him to me? How did I earn this wonderful person? This person who made my days and nights better. Who is a fire in my darkness. Who made my heart beat faster only when I saw him. Or thought of him.

I smiled while kissing. I guess he noticed. I thanked god and the fate and whoever was responsible for my luck once again. Now we were actually together.

Author's note

Yey! He finally asked her! They are cute, aren't they? 😁

Selena's thoughts remind me on the currently trending song "Him & I".

I am his and he is mine, in the end it's him and I, him and I.

Do you know that song? And do you like it? :)
