Our Love {Nina Dobrev And Ian Somerhalder Fanfiction}

Chapter 42 - Can't Stop

I felt so happy hearing those word specifically from him. I grinned so widely that I knew my cheeks would hurt in a few, "You do?"

He laughed nervously, scratching the back of his neck, "Yeah. I hate this, we don't have to date. I'm trying to move on and go on with life, but I feel like I can't without having you as a friend at least. I don't like having the proffessional co-workers relationship. I want us as friends only, not more nor less."

Did I just honestly get friend zoned, as what they call it these day?

I nodded as my smile began to fade slowly, "Me too."

"That's great!" He smiled, "so what were you about to say?"

"Nothing. Nothing important, just exactly what you said, but in a different way." Very different way.

"Well I'm glad things are cleared between us now." He said getting up and offering me his hand, "Let's go."

I refused to take it. Here I was, thinking of telling him how much I need him, how much I love him and how much I want to be with him. But he only wants me a friend.

Can I blame him though? No. I did this to us.

I stood up by myself pretending that I didn't see him hand and opened the door for the both of us. We both got out and saw the boys skateboarding and playing soccer. It was pretty funny to watch because Kevin and Richard were trying to catch a hold of them and calm them down but that didn't help at all.

"Ian catch!" Paul threw the ball at Ian but Ian sadly failed at catching it, in result Kevin grabbed the ball and stopped them. "That's a soccer ball you idiot!" Ian mocked. Paul flipped him off and grabbed his phone from the table texting someone as he smiled. Phoebe I assumed. It's adorable how they're like this together. I love the way they look at each other, it makes me very happy to see my good friends happy.

I winked at him and he blushed and went back to texting. "Hey fuckers!" I was surprised to see Claire there.

"Claire!" I hugged her but she rolled her eyes, "Fuck off Dobrev I still didn't forget yesterday." I laughed and punched her arm playfully.

"I said I'm sorry." I fake pouted.

"Still not forgiven. Okay fine." She rolled her eyes once again.

"Yesterday? What happened yesterday?" Ian questioned with a confused look.

"At the dinner last night. She went straight to hug Caleb before me. And I introduced them, those two assholes."

"Oh." Ian said awkwardly eyeing me.

"Anyways where's Caleb?" She asked.

I shrugged, "I don't really know. He was here just few minutes ago."

Just as I said that I felt his strong arm around my waist and his other arm around Claire's shoulder, "my dear cousin." He looked at me then winked, "My gorgeous woman." His woman? The fuck? We only kissed last night and he's calling me his woman. I pretended I didn't hear him and tucked a strand of hair behind my ears.

"Come on Cae let's go." Claire told him.

"Sure. Bye guys!" He waved at them before turning and kissed my cheek, "Goodbye beautiful."

And the two Australians turned to leave, "Oh and Nina I'm staying at your house too tonight!" She yelled before leaving.

"Yesss Sleep over!!" I yelled enough for her to hear me. She turned to face me and laughed before running into Candice.

Kat pulled me on the side suddenly causing me to curse out loud.

"Nina." She glared. "What?" I raised my arms in surrender.
