I knew Nick loved me in skinny jeans so I picked these out. I tied my hair in a double bun and grab my backpack and dash out the door to where Nick picks me up. I enter and sit in his car. He whistles and looks at my outfit impressed. 

"damn darling. If it was not impossible for you to get even more adorable." he compliments and gives me a kiss as our natural routine. He was wearing something new too.

"If anything I should be telling you that," I tell him

"If anything I should be telling you that," I tell him. He takes my hand and kisses the back of it. I always loved it when he did that. We drove to school and greeted our friends as usual. Before school, we always hang out in the exact same place. "YO. Nad... I hate to say this but we miss hanging out with the bro so... Before you go on your date with him we are gonna need to borrow him for a few hours" Clarence told me politely. Nick and I always spent after school alone together but I had absolutely no problem with them hanging out.

They are his friends anyways.

Just as long Nick does not get all handsy with Alyssa.

 "You do not mind, right?" Nick asked.

"Of course not, you have been friends longer with them then you have been with me." I make a point.

"That's for damn sure" Nathan rolls his eyes because we have only been dating for a mere week. Nick shoos him and we all laugh.

After school, I sit on my bed and do homework with Krista silently. We both had Lecture Hall assignments but they were totally different so if we needed help we could ask each other.

"Nadine I have a general question for you"

"yes?"

Krista takes a deep breath.

"You do realize Nick Mossman is not the one to respect boundaries right?"

"Krista--"

"Nadine. Seriously. You guys are moving a little too fast. You have been moving too fast and--"

Krista paused and takes another deep breath.

"Look-- You are my best friend. And... I hate to see you get hurt. You know what happens to people when they date him! The girls either get heartbroken or.... pregnant..." Krista lowers her voice when saying pregnant.

"Krista, we have not even done anything like that yet."

"I know! I know... But if anything were to happen. Promise me you will tell me first." Krista asks.

"Of course, and if I were to get pregnant you would be the nanny" I joke.

"oh, Shut up!" she shoulder bumps me and we both burst out laughing.

Wow, I have not had a good time with Krista like this in ages. 

Feels like just yesterday we were in second grade meeting each other.

Crazy how time flies, right?

After about two hours of having some fun quality brother-sister, best friend time I hear the doorbell ring. I widen my eyes and realize I have not even gotten ready. I panic and run upstairs. I get dressed in my favorite outfit I got for trading in one of my sundresses.

Krista helped with my hair, it was done into a double braid since she was the queen of hairstyles and knew exactly what hairstyle for what outing, and also because I can not do my hair myself unless I enjoy scalping myself

Krista helped with my hair, it was done into a double braid since she was the queen of hairstyles and knew exactly what hairstyle for what outing, and also because I can not do my hair myself unless I enjoy scalping myself. I borrowed moms heels, they were white strappy ones which she never wears anymore. So I guess they are mine now. I put on my favorite silver medium-sized hoop earrings and my acrylic black nails with the nail glue have finished drying. I walk down the stairs gracefully and see he is in the same outfit as earlier. Only this time he has flowers in his hand. Krista takes them and puts them in a vase for my room. By the time we walk to his car where no one bothers to watch us, he takes me by the waist spins me once and dips me. My braids hanging down. He gives me a passionate kiss. Before we left, Krista took a picture of us and sent it to us. So we were ready for our date. 

"You look fucking gorgeous" he complimented me keeping a tight hold of my upper waist. He opens the car door. "Ready for our first official date?" he asks with his infectious smile. I smiled too, "I was waiting for you to ask that." I say with a smile.

After dinner (which was amazing by the way) I was sitting in his car waiting for him to come back from an old friend talking to him. I was scrolling through my phone and saw 5 unread messages from an unknown number

DIE

DIE

DIE

I HOPE YOU DIE

YOU DESERVE TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Death threats? 

What. The. Fuck.

Why can't I just have a normal life??

I decide to block the number. Nick parked in an almost empty parking lot adjacent to the restaurant we ate at. I get a little unnerved. I did not even hear the car door open because I was focused on staring out my window to see if anyone was watching me.

"Nadine"

"OH. my. GOD! Nick don't scare me like that!!" I say as I put my hand to my heart trying to slow the sudden adrenaline rush I got. He got in and closed the door. His hand had set on my wrist.

"I did not try to scare you..." he says with a reassuring smile. He gets closer, one of his knees is on my seat. His hand on my cheek, I gaze into his eyes. He kisses me. My hand holds his on my face. He gets on top of me and pushes some button that makes my seat go all the way back in an instant. The kiss gets deeper, but why do I feel like someone is watching us?

He kisses down my neck but I keep getting progressively worried about someone watching us, I try my best to let it go.

The feeling goes away eventually.

I guess I was just being paranoid.
