Miley’s p.o.v

Nick’s arms were wrapped tightly around my small body. I loved every feeling and emotion that jolted through my body. I was in love with this feeling, I was obsessed. I wanted nothing but this feel for the rest of my life. After a little while I drifted asleep. I felt my body being lift up and placed under the covers of my soft bed.

After Nick left, I fell into a deeper sleep. I dreamed of him and I loved it. I awoke the next day and got up. I put something decent on and walked down stairs. Nick and Joe were sitting on the couch playing x-box.

Having Nick in the house put butterflies in my stomach. I felt uneasy when he was around me. I made myself some coffee then sat down on the chair and watched as the boys played their video game. My eyes were greedy and full of lust once I noticed the Nick was shirtless.

Liam was nothing compared to Nick. It hurt to think the Oilvia cheated on him. Did she loose her mind? Nick’s body was something out of a movie and I am surprised that she let him go. If Nick was my man, I wouldn’t even need to look at any other man. He would be enough, in fact, more than enough for me. I felt my stomach grow hot as I continued to let my dirty thoughts run wild. I cleared my throat before walking out of the room.

“Hey,” Nick spoke softly grabbing my attention. I looked up at him then back down at the fruit I was preparing for myself.

“Hey,” I returned.

“Did you sleep well?” He asked. I could sense that he was unsure of what to say. I don’t think I have ever fallen asleep in his arms before, which must have made him feel uncomfortable and awkward.

“Yeah” I nodded. I couldn’t look at him. Those dirty thoughts would just feel my head again and I couldn’t let that happen.

“Thanks for talking with me last night, it was nice.” He said walking around the counter he stood next to me.

“You know I am always here for you.” I glanced at him and flashed a quick smile.

“Can we go for a walk once you are done eating?” He asked stepping a bit closer to me.

“Sure,” I nodded. I wanted to, I just hoped he would wear a shirt so I wouldn’t be distracted.

“Good morning Miley!” Joe beamed walking into the kitchen.

“Morning” I said looking up at him.

“I will be upstairs.” Nick said before walking out of the room. After he left Joe turned to me with an odd expression.

“Is it just me or is he acting awkward around us?” He asked walking closer.

“He seems to be acting strange whenever we are all in the same room.” I admitted.

“I don’t understand why.” Joe shook his head grabbing some coffee for himself.

“I don’t either.” I said placing the fruit I had cut up on a plate before sitting down at the kitchen high-top.

“Maybe he feels uncomfortable around us…” Joe wandered. “I just don’t understand why.” He said looking up at me.

“Should once of us talk to him about it?” I asked. “I mean, I don’t want him to feel uncomfortable. I also don’t understand why he would feel that way.” I said clearing my throat.

“I guess.” Joe said shrugging his shoulders.

“I am going to play more x-box.” He said before walking out of the room.

After I finished eating my breakfast, I cleaned up some. I went up to my room and grabbed my flip flops before walking to Nick’s door. I knocked and waited.

“Hey,” He said opening the door.

“You still want to go for a walk?” I asked.

“Sure” He nodded. He grabbed his jacket and flip flops before following my down stairs and out the back door.

We walked around the beach for a while before sitting on a rock.

“Can I ask you something?” I asked looking up at him. He nodded and looked at me.

“Why do you get uncomfortable and awkward when Joe, You and me are in the same room?” I asked not breaking the eye contact.

“I don’t know…” He shook his head and let out a sigh.

“I guess, I just get uncomfortable when I am talking to you and when Joe comes in the room, I get shy and I stop talking.” He said before looking away. “I get embarrassed around him…”

“Why? Your brother doesn’t care, he loves you.” I said moving myself closer to him.

“I know…you just make me nervous, and when we are all together, I freak out.” He said grabbing my hand.

“Why do I make you nervous?” I asked.

“Because, I care about you.” He blurted out. I could tell there was something more that he was holding on to.

“Nick, what’s going on?” I asked holding his hand in mine.

“I don’t know…it’s just that being with you makes all those feelings come back. It’s different than before, these feelings are way stronger now and I am having a hard time handling them.” He admitted.

“Nick, I care about you…a lot. I just think we need to slow down. We can’t just jump into our feelings again. We need time to heal. You just got out of a relationship, and I am still healing from my broken relationship.” I said looking at him. I could tell my words were hurting him, but I couldn’t do anything about it.

“I need some time to heal. I need to work through my feelings, I need to be single for a while. I need to find myself.” I said shaking my head. There was so much that was going on in my life that I couldn’t handle jumping right into a relationship.

“I know” he sighed. “I’m sorry” He shook his head.

“It’s not your fault.” I said grabbing both of his hands.

“Look, I want us to be friends. I don’t want to lose you, not again.” I sighed.

“One of these days, we will be together. We will date, and I will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. We will go all in, 110%, both of us. Until that day, we should try and keep our distance through certain situations.” He said looking deep into my eyes.

“Promise me, that you won’t forget about me and my feelings for you.” He begged.

“I promise.” I nodded my head. “After we get through this, we will be able to go all in.” I nodded looking deep into his eyes. He meant more to me then he knew. My feelings were stronger than I expected they would become.
