My Fake Boyfriend

Chapter 18

Two Years Later:

Blair's POV:

"I'll meet you in ten minutes. Okay, bye." I hang up on the phone and walk out of my dorm room.

Walking down the streets of England, I spot the Starbucks where I am supposed to be meeting up with Nick.

When I got to Oxford two years ago, Nick and I met in one of our classes and instantly became good friends. He was also super cute and had a hot accent.

Ever since last year, we have been becoming closer and closer. I guess you could call us boyfriend and girlfriend, but we haven't made it official yet.

The thought of Asher floated in the back of my mind. Asher and I haven't talked in a while. At first, he called everyday asking how I was doing and stuff.

He got admitted into UCLA and is studying there right now. It became harder for us to call each other with the time difference and the busy schedules.

Eventually, the phone calls and texts just died down. I haven't heard from him in months and I have realized that I must move on.

I've been trying to admit my feelings for Nick but every time I try to, I think of Asher. I can't get him out of my head but I need to realize that its over.

I open the door to Starbucks and let the coffee aroma fill me. I love the smell of coffee. I spot Nick and he brightens up as he sees me too.

"Hey there." I say, pulling him in for a hug.

"Hey gorgeous. You look amazing." He compliments.

"Thank you. If you call a messy bun and just some t-shirt, amazing." I say.

"I already ordered for us. A grande vanilla latte, extra hot for you and a grande cinnamon dolce latte for me." He says.

"Aw you remembered." I say.

"How could I forget?"

"So lets get to studying for that quiz tomorrow, shall we?"

Asher's POV:

Its been months since I've last heard from Blair. I have been driving myself crazy.

Should I call her? Would I be disturbing her? Maybe thats why she hasn't called me in a while.

Blair has her whole life planned out while I'm just sitting here in my dorm room, having absolutely nothing to do but mope.

My roommate, Kevin, has tried to convince me to come to the frat parties with him but I decline every time. I make up some dumb excuse like, "I'm tired", or "I'm feeling sick."

I haven't seen anyone since Blair. I can't get over her. No one will ever be like Blair. I could never replace her. She was my one and only true love.

"Dude, you need to stop moping. Come to the party with me! Just once, I promise and I will leave you alone afterwards. You'll get to meet some hot chicks and have a beer and most importantly, get your mind off of this Blair chick." Kevin snaps me back to reality.

"I don't think thats a good idea. I love Blair and she's the only girl I want to be with. I'm not a player, Kevin." I protest.

"Okay fine. Then go just to have fun and to drink a beer with me."

"I think i'll pass."

"Come on! It'll be fun!" He says.

"Fine. But just this once. And you have to leave me alone and never beg me to come to another one of your stupid parties again. Got it?"

"Got it." He answers. He drives us to the frat house where the party is being held.

Once we get there, I immediately spot kegs and a bunch of crazy college students dancing their asses off.

"Let's go have some fun." Kevin says and we walk into the house.

Right when we step in, a guy hands us beers and we drink up. I don't plan on drinking much. I have to stay focused.

I can't ruin myself just because I want to forget about Blair. I'm sure she still loves me. I'm sure that she wishes that she could see me too. And I'm sure that she isnt dating anyone else because she knows what we have, is something that can't be broken.

Blair's POV:

After Nick and I finished studying, he took me for a walk around the streets of Oxford.

"Are you cold?" He asks me, noticing the goosebumps on my arms.

"Here, take this." Nick says, handing me his jacket.

"Oh no, please. You don't have to." I say.

"No please, take it. I don't need it."

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Yes I'm sure. You need it more than I do." He insists.

"Thank you." I say.

"Your welcome." He smiles and intertwines his fingers with mine.

"I've been thinking about us for a while now. And I've been wanting to ask you something since we still haven't made it official yet. Will you be my girlfriend Blair?" He asks me, stopping and turning towards me. I turn to face him and my heart begins to race.

This is what I have been waiting to hear, yet why do I feel sadness? I feel tears fill my eyes.

"I'm sorry Nick. Y-you're amazing and you're e-everything any g-g-girl would want in a g-guy but I still c-can't get over my l-last boyfriend. I'm s-so s-sorry." I stutter while crying.

"Hey, its okay. I understand what it feels like. I just hope he's worth it." Nick says, wiping away my tears.

"We can still be friends right?" He asks.

"Definitely." I say, sniffing and wiping away the last of my tears. I give him a tight hug and we pull away.

"I guess I better get going now." Nick says.

"Yeah. I guess I will see you at school. Bye!" I say.

"Bye. Oh and one more thing. Blair, tell that guy how you feel about him or else you will regret it for the rest of your life. Believe me, I know." He says.

"I will. Thank you Nick." I say and we go our separate ways.

I pull out my phone and go to my contacts. I scroll down to Asher's name and click on his contact name. My finger hovers over the call button, itching to touch the screen.

All I have to do is call.
