Nick’s p.o.v
As I walked into the house, the aroma of food filled my nose. My stomach instantly growled showing that I was hungry.
“Something smells good” Joe said as he set his bag down in the living room next to mine.
“Hey boys!” Miley yelled from the kitchen. Her body emerged from the room. She had a soft smile on her face. Joe walked to her and hugged her before placing a kiss on her cheek.
“What did you cook?” He asked stepping back.
“Meatloaf, mash potatoes and gravy, and sweet corn.” She smiled. Joe was in awe of everything she had cooked.
“Hey Nick” She smiled at me.
“Hey” I said. I walked towards her and gave her a quick hug.
“You guys hungry?” She asked walking back into the kitchen. I followed behind Joe.
“Starved.” Joe said with a laugh.
“I figured.” She said as she pulled something out of the oven.
“Let’s eat, shall we?” She placed the food at the table and sat down. I sat down across from her and Joe sat next to her.
“This looks amazing! Where did you learn to cook?” Joe asked preparing his plate.
“I hired someone to teach me. I was bored and had nothing else to do. It was nice, she came to my home and taught me everything.” She laughed lowly.
“Nice, I guess those cooking lessons came in handy.” He said looking at her.
“Yeah, I guess so.” She said once she had finished preparing her plate. “You guys are the only people I have cooked for besides Liam.” She spoke. She seemed to be handling everything much better.
She was smiling more, and her smile was much brighter. She was actually glowing. I could tell that she was relaxed and happy.
“Lucky us” I smiled over at her. She smiled softly and looked back down at her plate.
The rest of the dinner was quiet and sort of awkward. Her and Joe spoke on and off with each other, but I said nothing. I didn’t know what to say. She must be wondering why I am here. Unless Joe told her. Maybe she pity’s me. I could tell that something was off with the way she was acting towards me and I hated it.
I missed the relationship we use to have together. We used to talk about anything, and everything. I miss those old times. I hate the fact that we grew up. It was weird, we grew a part, but we didn’t change. We still have a lot of things in common. She still gets me, and I still get her. I just miss how things used to be.
“Well, I am going to take a shower and crash.” Joe said after he had finished helping Miley with the dishes.
“Thanks for everything, Miley.” He said before walking away.
“Anytime, thank you” she shouted back.
“Need anything else, Nick” She asked once she walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.
“No, I think I am good. Thanks.” I nodded. I grabbed a book from my bag and sat down to start reading.
“Are you okay?” She asked sitting down next to me.
“I’m fine” I said looking at her then back at my book.
“Are you sure? You have been acting strange since you got here.” She said sharply.
“I’m okay, just distracted.” I said. I know I was laying, but I didn’t want to talk about it. Not with her. I was too shy and embarrassed.
“Okay.” She said standing to her feet. “If you want to talk, I am just right upstairs.” She said before walking away.
I didn’t feel comfortable talking about something so embarrassing with her. I mean, my girlfriend cheated on me…I obviously couldn’t satisfy her needs. I couldn’t talk about something as personal as that with Miley. She wouldn’t understand.
She is an amazing women. The only reason Liam cheated on her is because they were thousands of miles away and he couldn’t keep it in his pants. Pig. If Miley was my girl, I would have waited. Anticipation would have been enough for me. I mean looking at her body was enough to put me on edge.
Oh god, here I am sitting her talking about Miley like she was a piece of meat. I knew she wasn’t, in fact, she was gorgeous. Why wasn’t she mine? I would treat her right, I would always support her and be there for her. Why were things so complicated?
I sighed in defeat before standing up. I needed to talk to her. I walked upstairs and found Miley’s room. I knocked and walked inside. She was sitting at the window with her knees to her chest.
“Hey, sorry to bother you.” I said shutting the door behind me.
“You’re fine” She smiled. “Come sit down.” She said gesturing me to sit next to her. I walked over and sat down.
“What’s up?” She asked facing me.
“This is embarrassing.” I sighed running my fingers threw my hair.
“Who am I to judge?” She asked with a smile.
“Oilvia cheated on me.” I blurted out. “I walked in on her in bed with another guy. We broke up.” I said looking away. I couldn’t face her, I just couldn’t.
“Hey, it’s okay.” She said grabbing my face in her hands. She kissed my forehead before hugging me.
“She was in my house, in my bed.” I said. “I couldn’t keep her satisfied.” I spoke. I hated myself because of that.
“No, don’t think about it like that. You will only hurt yourself if you do. You are an amazing guy and she doesn’t deserve you.” Miley reasoned. The way she looked into my eyes, meant something deeper to me. It wasn’t that she felt bad for me, she understood me.
“I know this might hurt to hear, but she was probably only dating you for the attention, and the fame.” She shrugged. “I mean that was the reason Liam started dating me. He admitted that to me before he purposed.” She said looking away.
“I’m sorry” I said grabbing her hands.
“No, I’m sorry.” She shook her head.
“It’s not your fault.” I said pulling her into my lap. She wrapped her arms around me and rested her head on my chest. It looked like something out of a movie. The feeling, it was unique. My stomach felt like it was on fire, she made me feel this way.
