"Nick come on we're gonna be late"
"Aye aye okay babe settle"
A few weeks after me and Jake had broke up, nick finally came forward and told me his feelings he had for me.
"Mila?"
"I just want to say something and I know you might not be awake but I think you're the most beautiful girl, and Jake did not deserve someone as good as you. I know I'm not the most amazing guy, and I know I'm pure and frigit, I've only kissed one girl. But I just wanted to ask if you would give me a chance to prove that I will treat you like a princess, more than Jake ever did"
I had originally had feelings for Nick before Jake even liked me, nicks not that guy you would think of as boyfriend material but I was falling for him, hard.
It was now the second week of me and him having "a thing"
People in my area had a thing called "tuning". I thought it was kinda stupid, but it comes before dating. It's like a version of dating but without the commitment, kind of pathetic. I remember telling Jake my thoughts on tuning, so he asked me out a week later, I guess he understood me back then.
Nick didn't lie, he treated me like a damn princess. For my birthday he bought me a ring, one I told him about a year ago that I had always wanted since a little girl. I was so happy, I was in a place where I had never been. But it was hard, because I knew that it wouldn't last forever, but I was going to enjoy it while it lasted.
"Mila get up off that phone and get ready for the first day of school!"
"Yes mum one second"
iMessage 8:24am
Nick:
Good morning x
Mila:
Hello x
Nick:
Let me guess, another wild dream last night?
Mila:
You know it ;) hahaha
Nick:
Haha. Well tell me about it tonight after footy training, I'll text you okay?
Mila:
Yeah of course x
Nick:
Have a good day x
Mila:
*logged off*
It was weird not being able to see Nick as much as I saw Jake. Even though I know how sporty Nick is, but I just get so lonely. Jake was only a call away, usually sitting in his room getting high or something.
I could read our texts from the top of my head.
iMessage 10:43pm
Mila:
You up?
Jake:
As usual.
Mila:
I'm really lonely, and cold.
Jake:
Weeelll, I mean.
I can ride over and sneak in?
Mila:
Ooo alright
Jake:
See you there then
Jake would sneak in sometimes and we'd lie without clothes under the warm sheets, with my head on his beating chest. We'd lie there for hours sometimes, usually listening to the rain on my skylight. He'd say weird things sometimes out of the blue, like "Mila I just want you to know that I will never stop loving you" or "I just want to say, I will always need you in my life" and he'd always finish the sentence with a kiss on my scalp.
