Chapter 10

Demi's POV

Nick and I got into his hotel room, sitting down on the sofa that was next to the TV.

What just happened felt like a blur.

I feel like I've just woken from a dream, it's so strange.

I can't believe that Nick kissed me. I mean, I was hoping he would... but I didn't expect him to straight away. I'm pretty happy he did though because that means he still feels something like I do. We could be finally together one day!

But right now, I would prefer if we were friends with benefits, and I told him honestly because I wouldn't want to leave him hanging, not knowing what to do. So right now the occasional kiss is fine, but only alone. But thank god we're still as close as we were.

I turned to face him, probably with a smile that made me look like a total idiot.

He smiled back with his humble and gentle smile, his eyes full of safety and perhaps... love?

Oh my god let it be love. My eyes are definitely looking at him like that.

He reached out his hand and started to play with my hair, still staring right at me. He then started caressing my cheek, carefully sliding his thumb over it.

I took my hand and placed it on top of his, letting him secure my cheek and let him feel my face.

It felt so soft and blissful. He was so tender with me, making sure he didn't hurt me in the slightest. I know he cared because he couldn't stop looking at me right in the eyes. I looked right back, making sure I didn't close my eyes otherwise I would have let him touch me in other places that I knew was too close for us to just be friends with benefits.

I don't know if we were ever going to be involved like that, but I knew I wanted it. I wanted to be with him, but I knew that getting better was more important at the moment.

But jeez, the temptation was so difficult.

And wait....

Delta.

Did he still have feelings for her? I mean he had a good relationship with her and I did hear they broke up, but that could have been a rumour?

I had to ask.

I gradually took his hand away from my cheek, and placed my hand in his.

He looked down at our hands, looking slightly confused.

He looked back up at me and said, "Did I do something wrong?"

I shook my head, "No of course not. I just need to ask you something..."

His smile faded, and he looked at me seriously.

"Do you still have feelings for Delta?"

I noticed a glitch in his eyes. Did that hurt him when I asked him that?

"Why do you ask?"

"Well... I don't want to be in the way if you're still getting over her."

"Demi it's been 2 months..."

"I know, but you were together nearly a year no?"

"Yes but that doesn't matter anymore."

"Honestly? I mean, I don't want to intrude but..."

He shushed me with his finger, placing it on my lips.

"Delta's in the past. I promise you. We mutually decided to no longer be. She told me she still has feelings for her ex-husband. She also noticed I still have feelings for you."
