Recap

My eyes softly close.

If it wasn't for my big mouth none of this would've happened, and the ride back wouldn't have been so vexed.

I can't help but want to scream in frustration at how South everything went. So much for a great first date.

| Nessa's p.o.v |

The way back up was filled with occasional glances and silence. I wanted to speak, but I knew it that was the last thing to do.

Once were outside their door Nick let's out a sigh. "I'm not mad." He starts. "But I'm not okay with it either. I thought we were good no complications, but they were there the whole time."

My mouth opens, but he cuts me off. "I just feel stupid." Nick ends.

I finally look up from staring at my feet. "Nick you're not stupid. It's my fault for confusing you in the first place, but we were good there wasn't any complications until Zion confessed he liked me."

He lets out a hum. "So you're telling me you feel nothing for him." I shake my head quickly. "No not at all." I say going to reach for his hand, he lets me hold it for a few seconds before pulling back. "You should listen to what you say more often."

I look at him confused. "What?" I ask. Nick let's out a humorless laugh. "You said it yourself, there weren't any complications until Zion admitted he felt some way with you. Did you ever stop and wonder why?"

With a shake of his head he opens the door key card in hand. I step in behind him knowing what he said was right, but why was I trying to convince myself otherwise.

A voice startled me from my thoughts. "Y'all back early? I see you Mara trying to get some brownie points from me." Edwin laughs, the boys behind him.

I look at the expressionless look on Nick's face knowing mine matched. They would definitely sense something happened.

I clear my throat. "I'm going to head to my room I'm pretty tired." I say pointing to the direction of my door.

Edwin raises his brow. "But it's so early?" I nod with a grin smile. "Yeah I know, but it's why we came back so soon." I say looking to Nick for help to which he nods.

"Okay? Well come here Dominican." He says opening his arms for out goodnight hug. I sniff in his scent my eyes closing almost automatically. "Night egg."

I continue to do the same with Brandon and Austin until I reach Zion. I give him a quick side hug moving back to Nick.

"You know where I'll be." I whisper making sure he could only hear me.

With that I walk away towards the direction of my room. Once my door shuts I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding.

Before I can even get into my bed there's a knock upon my door. I open it to reveal Zion.

"You okay?" He asks softly, and I try my best not to cry. "Yeah, I'm good." I smile.

Zion gives me a look. "Can I come in?" Moving aside he steps into the room before taking a seat. "What happened Nes?" He asks, his tone laced with concern.
