^^^Dana Harris' POV
"I think you should stay in the car" I tell Nicolás.
He looks at me as if I've lost the plot.
"Doesn't that seem a little dangerous?" He asks.
I nod.
"It is. But if you come with me, it will make everything a lot more suspicious." I remind him.
He sighs and then nods, turning to face me properly.
"Please be careful..." he says dolefully.
I smile at him gently.
"I will, Nic. I promise" I say.
Without warning, he leans forwards and kisses me gently, his hand cupping my face.
I react by letting him kiss me, before I pull away.
"Nic, I- -" I start to say, but he cuts me off.
"You don't have to say anything. I know you still have feelings for the Santiago boy" he says looking at the steering wheel.
I stay silent, knowing that he is far from lying.
"I- - I just want you to know how I feel" he responds.
I put my hand on his and he takes it, planting a soft kiss on my knuckles.
"I have something to do, so just call me if you're coming back to my place tonight.
I nod.
"I will." I respond.
I lean towards him and kiss his cheek.
He smiles weakly and then lets me out of the car.
I grab the baking tray and walk towards the front of the house, my heart starting to beating extremely quickly.
It feels like it's been a while since I was last here.
I approach the door and I knock twice, before I can change my mind.
The door opens and there stands Ade.
She looks at me and then blinks a couple of times.
"What are you doing here?" She asks, eyeing the tray suspiciously.
"I- - we need to talk" I say, feeling tongue tied.
"Bout?" She asks, hand rubbing her largely pregnant stomach.
"Come in" She says, stepping back inside and letting me in.
"Close the door behind you" she demands.
I do as she asks and then turn to face her.
Before I can react, she grabs my arms and pulls me into a huge hug.
I stay still for a moment in complete shock.
Hot tears spring to my eyes and I start crying.
I don't even deserve her kindness.
"Come to the kitchen and I'll make you a cup of tea" she says, once she pulls away.
"You look like you need it" She remarks.
When we walk to the kitchen, I hand her the tray and she offers me a tissue.
I take it and dab at my eyes, still sniffing.
