Chapter 27

When I woke up next to Brett, he was looking at me.

"Good morning," he smiled, the smile reaching his eyes. I felt pained.

"I'm sorry, Brett," I could barely hold in my tears.

"What are you sorry about?"

"I'm so sorry." I got up as one tear slipped from my eyes. Worry, then curiosity was on his face. He looked around, eventually figuring it out.

"It's about Ben, isn't it?"

"Yes, but we didn't do anything!"

"Don't take this the wrong way, but you're being stupid right now Nikki," Brett said, raising his voice a little. "You don't think I've talked to Ben or Chris or that I've even thought about us? Nikki, I knew that you were going to break up with me and then move right onto Ben. I enjoyed our relationship even though I knew that; If I didn't, I'd have broken up with you and thrown all of my knowledge at you with hate." I was shocked at what Brett knew.

"Come here." I didn't move, so Brett got up and came to me. He passionately kissed my lips, I couldn't help but respond. He pecked my lips and pulled away. "I'm going to miss you and us. You because you can be a person, an enjoyable person. Us because, well, last night. I'm going to miss hanging out with you, as a friend and as your boyfriend. Anyway, go ahead and see Ben. I won't care if you Monday you guys are together or not. You guys belong with each other and anybody would be crazy not to realize that. So go, hopefully you can see me as a friend now."

I pulled on the rest of my clothes and left the Sterling house. I was thankful that I didn't see Mr. Sterling on the way out. I made my way to Ben's house. I'd only been there once, but I still knew where it was located.

My mind was blank. It was completely blank.

When I got to Ben's large house, I noticed that weren't any vehicles parked on the driveway. I knocked on the front door anyway.

"Nikki? What are you doing here?" Ben asked, after he opened the door.

"Is anyone else here?"

"No, my parents are helping my sister plan her wedding," Ben answered. "Why are you here, Nikki?"

"Brett broke up with me."

"Are you doing okay?"

"He told me to come to you."

"Why?" I rushed up to Ben and pressed my lips against his. Ben pushed me away. He shook his head and grabbed my arm, pulling me inside. He shut the door and locked it. Ben pressed me against the door, aggressively kissing me. "You don't know how long I've waited for this." Ben pulled me upstairs into his black room. He backed me into his bed and pulled off his shirt.

"Wait."

"Is there something wrong?" Ben asked. "I can back off if you want me to." He sounded worried.

"I don't know, I just feel bad. Brett and I just broke up... Yet Brett said that he didn't mind if you and me were together." I sat on his bed.

"That's because he cares about you." Ben sat down next to me.

"You're saying that Brett told me come to you because he cares about me?"

"Yeah. He wants you to be where you want to be the most."

"And right now I want to be with you." I pressed myself and lips against Ben. I got on top of him and straddled him. He responded by flipping me onto his bed so that he was on top of me.
