Nikki Shay & Co.

Chapter 15

Chapter 15

 

I jolted up from another nightmare. This time Papi from Beverly Hills Chihuahua was walking down an alley and a raccoon jumped him. Papi was brutally murdered and Chloe (or whatever his wife's name is) came out of the shadows, licked the raccoon, and laughed at the dead Papi. I think my mind is a little sadistic.

 

My head hurt like crazy, but I couldn't really remember why. Then I remembered that there was a party and I probably got drunk. There was a breeze on my body, which was weird. Looking down I saw that I just had on underclothing. To my left, Ben was sprawled out under the covers shirtless. We had to of done the deed.

 

I kicked him and waited for him to get up. He crinkled his face, stretched and yawned. Slowly he opened his eyes. It was taking to long, so I kicked his abdominal area again.

 

"What the heck, Nikki?" He yelled. I cringed a bit, since his voice hurt my ears. However, despite my headache, I yelled at him.

 

"How dare you take advantage of me like that? I was drunk! You just decided 'hey, Nikki is quite vulnerable, so let me take her to bed. She won't mind what we did together in the morning.' Idiot, I do mind that I did it with you!" When I was done -that was not the end of my rant- I held my head from the massive headache I caused.

 

"Nikki, I didn't do anything with you, except kiss you," Ben told me in a soft voice. He cared enough about my headache not to yell back, how sweet.

 

"If that's all, why do I just have this on?" I asked.

 

"We almost did something, but I refused. You were drunk. Nothing we were going to do was going to mean anything to you. I mean, you have no feelings for me, so why take the chance to have my heart broken." Ben answered. That was the most mature and emotion filled thing I had ever heard Ben say.

 

"Wait. Are you trying to say that you actually like me?" I asked. I had always thought that Ben was a player, who didn't have feelings for any girl.

 

"After yesterday, I think so. You're girlfriend material," Ben said slowly. It seemed like he was embarrassed to say all of that. It was very cute, especially how his face was turning just a little red. I think I was starting to blush a little, too, from the compliment.

"Sorry, Nikki! I shouldn't have said that! Just forget what I said," Ben said quickly. Out of nowhere he just scurried out of the room. Me, on the other hand, stayed there open mouth wondering what just happened. Slowly I found my clothes and wobbled out of the room.

 

I didn't expect the cabin to be in the process of being cleaned by everyone who came to the house. Roy was standing on the table looking very grumpy. Those upperclassmen who I remembered Ashley was dancing for we're cleaning as well as the hipsters and a lot of other people, where all cleaning.

 

"Nikki!" Roy screamed. I cringed and walked over to him. He gave my appearance a disappointed look. "Get to cleaning." I nodded my head and walked over to help Nick clean.

 

"Why's he so mad?" I whispered. I grabbed some bottles and put them in a recycled bin being passed around.
