Multi-Fandom One-Shots Part 2

accidentally perfect - Rini (HSMTMTS)

Nini collapsed on the couch in her apartment after a rather rough day. Her morning was dreadful, she woke up late which resulted in her missing her first class, and she had forgotten her lunch leaving her starving throughout her whole shift at the art gallery. Finally getting through the day she quickly made it back to her apartment with a half-eaten subway sandwich in hand, just to realize that her boyfriend - ex-boyfriend, was coming by to pick up the box of his things that she packed the other night. It was the reason she got up so late that morning, having slept at 4 crying after everything that had happened between them.

The brunette leaned against the back of the couch tipping her head back staring at the freckles on the ceiling. The past week had just been awful, and she just wanted life to stop moving just for a second. She felt like she couldn't catch her breath with everything going on. Sometimes she thinks she shouldn't have moved all the way to New York, maybe life would've been easier if she just stayed back in Salt Lake.

She closes her eyes briefly, trying to push everything to the back of her mind, to think of anything that just didn't suck. Nini was brought out of her train of thought when her phone started ringing in her hand, with her eyes still closed she answered it assuming it was Alex coming to pick up his stuff. Before she could even utter a word the voice on the other side of the phone started speaking rapidly causing Nini to sit up right taken aback but the strange voice.

"Look I know what I said, and I just couldn't say it but I'll work on myself and work through my issues. I think I can learn and grow to love you if you just give me a chance, please, please, Monica. I don't-"

"Hello?" Nini says interrupting the man on the other end of the line, realizing he had called the wrong number and she was most definitely not Monica.

The voice stopped immediately pausing for a few moments, "I'm going to assume you're not Monica."

Nini chuckles, toying with the blanket that was laid neatly across her lap, "Afraid not. But if it makes you feel any better, that was the best thing that's happened to me today." The man on the other end started laughing at her comment not realizing how crappy of a day she's had and that she wasn't joking, "I'm sorry to bother you, I'm glad my embarrassing begging spiel made you laugh."

"It wasn't embarrassing at all!" Nini assures him.

"You're lying." He teases.

"Okay, maybe just a little bit. Do you want my advice?" She asks daringly, she was in no place to be giving relationship advice to him. For one, she had no idea who this man was, or the girl he was talking about, and two, she had just gotten out of a messy relationship. Nevertheless, the man on the other line chuckles, "Give me your best, not Monica."

Nini laughs at the nickname, "You can call me Nini," she introduces, "This Monica you're talking about doesn't seem like she's worth it, if she didn't want to wait and help you to figure out what love is. I know it's not my place, I'm just speaking from experience." She adds rapidly, realizing she was probably overstepping with what she said being too caught up in her own personal at the moment.

Over the other end she hears him take in a sharp breath, "Thanks Nini, I just don't know if I can let her go yet." He admits shyly.

"You might not be ready, but she might be." She says in a sad voice, looking over to the box that was sitting on the coffee table waiting to be picked up. As if he knew that she was thinking about him, she feels her phone vibrate bringing her to look at the incoming text, Alex letting her know that he's just parked the car and will be up in a few minutes, "Look, I got to go, my ex-boyfriend's coming over to pick up his things." She informs him, "I wish you the best, stranger."

"It's Ricky." He says quickly, "I'm sorry to hear about your ex-boyfriend. It was really nice talking to you Nini. Hopefully one day, we can talk again."
