Edge Of Seventeen Nick x Nadine

Chapter 8

Nadine (P.O.V)

I had a hard time believing all of my wildest dreams were finally coming true.

I was kissing Nick Mossman, my crush who now is my boyfriend.

I guess me eavesdropping was for the better because otherwise, I would not be here at this moment. The kiss was soft and heartfelt. Unlike the one time, I saw him and Becca making out. They looked like they were going at it hard. I personally favor the little moments and taking it slow. That is the best way to build a relationship is it not?

Trust and steadiness.

After god knows how long, I finally very slowly part with his lips. I licked my lips savoring the taste. He tasted like mint. Fresh mint.

"We should... Probably head back to the others..." He reminded me we were not alone on our expedition, by this time we had ditched the entire day and it was around 5:32 PM so we all would be heading home now. "After one more kiss.." I asked he brought me a little more close a second time and still savoring the taste I felt my heart thump like a happy beat on a drum. My stomach was turning all in knots but it did not hurt at all or make me sick. It made me feel good oddly enough. Once we parted again, he helped me up and wiped off my tears. "No more crying. I am here..." he whispered, he left a kiss on my head and we proceeded to walk where we knew our friends had probably left by now. Nick took out his phone but did not look at it. 

"Mind if I?"

"you do not have to ask me... you know" I respond with a smile.

"I know but I do not want to think that I have no care for you by getting lost in my pho-"

Before he could keep talking I gave him a kiss. To intend that he has obtained the right to shut up.

"I get it. We need to know if your friends left anyways..." I told him. He looked and a few seconds later we got our answer.

"They left, but that is fine... We get more alone time," he responds. I playfully shoulder bumped him.

"you are such a dork," I say with a giggle. 

"Am I now?" he jokes.

"totally!" I said

"I will always be your dork," he tells me with a kiss on the cheek I laughed at how cute and dorky Nick can be. I guess my personality is rubbing off on him.

Nick walks me up to the door of my house. I wish he did not have to go.

"I'll see you at school tomorrow?" he asks with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Of course... Now I have no reason to fake being sick..." I say as I rest my hand on his cheek. He smiles. I stand on my tiptoes and give him one last kiss before heading inside. I made sure I really savored his taste. I pulled away. "I love you" I whispered. 

"I love you too...' he returned. One last kiss and we attempted to part fully. As he walked away I did not let go of his hand. He looked back and I let go. "I will call you tonight doll" he promised. "And I will be counting down the seconds until it happens!" I said as he walked away.

I entered my house and I have never been happier. I decided to make amends with Krista and Darian. I skip up the stairs and open the door to Darian's room, I see them making out but stop when I enter. 

"do you mind?" Darian asks. 

"Hey, I just wanted to say I am so sorry for being harsh these past few weeks... I think you and Krista make a great couple! And Krista I am sorry for being cross for you liking my brother. Friends again?"

They looked shocked that I was apologizing.

"Uh... Y-Yeah... Reset button pressed." Krista told me. 

"okay thanks for that, but like can you go?" Darian was trying to not be rude I could tell.

"Of course!" I said delightfully as I shut the door and skipped to my room.

Is it me or did this get even messier since I last looked at it?

I guess I was going through my depressed phase.

Time to clean up a little...

Nick (P.O.V)

Around 7:30 PM after finishing dumb homework I finally have some free time to facetime my new and better girlfriend.

I changed how her name looked and everything. We even took a cute picture together.

Her title on my phone was this: "Nadine 💞💗💓"

I pressed the call button and got an answer immediately as if she was waiting for the call.

"heyyyy there," she said with a sweet smile. Her hair was up in a bun and she was already in a different set of clothes which I guess is what she wears to bed. They were simple, white silk spaghetti strap tank top and matching shorts. She looked so darling.

"Hey there hot stuff, getting ready for bed this early?"

I saw her laugh and look away.

"stop..." she laughed. 

"what? You are hot with or without makeup. Getting ready for school or on a lazy Sunday" I remind her just how much I care.

"Aww... this is one out of many reasons I started having a crush on you in the first place... You are so sweet!" she smiles and rests her cheek on her hand making her chubby cheek rise. I screenshotted it because she looked hella adorable. 

"not as much as you" I complimented with a small smile. 

After about two hours of talking I decide it might be best to hang up and get ready for bed. 

"Aww... Do you have to leave? I wish we could just talk forever and ever and ever" she told me giving me sad puppy eyes. I laughed at how fucking adorable she was. "Hey... I will see you at school tomorrow, okay?" I promised her. She looked at me with big hopeful eyes.

"Okay... Nick?" she asked.

"Yes?"

"I love you. Get a good sleep" she said with a cute smile. "I love you too. Goodnight cutie" I told her before I hung up.

I could not wait to see her tomorrow, so to make the time go by faster I decided to go to sleep early. I drifted into sleep and dreamed about her all night long.
