Only You ✔️

5- The Day After

"You'll what?" I ask stunned

"I said I'll help you get your girl" Laura repeats

"Um how? I don't even know where to begin"

Laura chuckles at me.

"That's what I'm for silly."

My cheeks heat up. This was so embarrassing.

"Okay" I mumble.

"Step one. Relax. You're not going to get anywhere being as wound up as a toy train."

I close my eyes and take deep breaths, as I release I feel the tension leaving my body.

"Step two. Buy her flowers. Go to her house and surprise her with flowers. Even better would be her favorite flowers."

I could do that. It was simple enough. I just needed to find some white roses.

"Okay, What do I say to her when I give her the flowers?"

"Just say 'Nova, I know I haven't said it before but you deserve to know this. I love you'"

I blink a few times at her. She was fucking insane.

"Um no. I can't do that"

"Yes you can. And you will if you want the girl."

"But I-"

"Do you want her?"

I sigh

"Yes"

"Do you love her?"

"More than anything"

"Then tell her. It's not that hard Spencer"

I take a deep breath, because despite my internal battle with myself, I knew Laura was right. I needed to tell her, but I needed to wait for the right time. And right now definitely wasn't it.

"Okay. I'll tell her"

Laura smiles at me as she finishes her pancakes.

I thank her and head into my room to change. I wanted to look presentable when I went to see Nova. Not like it mattered at this point.

I settle on jeans and a plan navy blue t-shirt. I slicked my hair back with some gel, not a lot, just enough to keep it in place.

I wanted to back out but I knew I shouldn't. I needed this. I needed to get it off my chest how I felt. And if she didn't feel the same way, which I know she doesn't. Then at least she'll be back in my life.

I walk out of my bedroom to see Laura lounging on the couch.

"Hey, you look nice."

I smile meekly at her.

"I was waiting to get my clothes. Just give me a second" she says walking into my bedroom.

She reappears a few minutes later in the same clothes from last night and she had tied her hair in a ponytail.

"You ready for this?"

I take another deep breath and nod my head.

"I left my number on the island if you need any help after this, just text me Okay?"

I slowly nod my head as she makes her way to the door.

"Thank you Laura. And I'm sorry again"

She smiles sweetly at me before responding.

"Make it up to me by getting the girl"

And with that she walks out, shutting the door behind her.
