Nini's POV
Everyone hovered over Ricky's ankle while still in our circle to see who his soulmate was.
"3... 2... 1..." We all said.
"IT SAYS GINA!" Carlos screamed, happily "Sorry, I'm extremely excited and happy"
"Yay!" We all said.
"Guys..." Ashlyn said still looking at the fancy letters on Ricky's ankle "It says Gina Salzar-Roberts..."
"What?" I asked, confused. I looked at his ankle. "No, that's Nina. Not Gina"
"Who's Nina?" EJ asked.
"My real name" I told them embarrassed "Ricky couldn't say his vowels in kindergarten so called my Nini and it stuck. I never like Nina"
"Guys" Seb interrupted "Not the point"
"You're right" Kourtney said "Why does it say your name Nini?"
"I... I don't know" everyone looked at me. Ricky and I locked eyes "I... Need some air" I said as I broke off eye contact again with Ricky.
I walked out of the fort and Ricky and the gang followed me. Gina looked at me with hatred in her eyes.
"I'm... I'm sorry. I'm gonna go" I said getting up from the chair I was sitting at, lifting my bag and about to leave.
"I love you" Ricky blurted out. I span my head around and looked at him, looked at Gina who was angrily looking at Ricky with question in her eyes "I've loved you since the first time you picked up your ukulele and wrote a song about clouds. A silly little sing about clouds. And that night in your room, all those years ago, when you told me that you loved me, I meant to say it, I meant to say it and I've kicked myself every day since then because I didn't say it. But I do. I love you" my eyes started tearing up a while ago by now "I've loved you since seventh grade when I made you ride in the front row seats of Demon's Destiny at Six Flags and you told me you sometimes get a little seasick on rollercoasters and I said 'come on, live a little.'"
"I remember" I told him, I had completely forgot we had an audience and I think he did too, one of those people in the audience being his girlfriend, but at this rate not for long I bet.
"Yeah. And then I puked all over your shoes and you didn't even make me feel bad about it. No, you just said um..."
"No worries. I've been wanting to get rid of these shoes for awhile" I finished for him, but he continued.
"Yeah, because you outgrew them. The thing is, I never outgrew you. And I don't know what happens tomorrow, or in two minutes when we walk out that door. All I know is... I want this feeling to keep going. Because this whole experience... I'm just... I'm not ready for it to be over. For us to be, I mean. And if that means doing a musical then fine"
"I get to pick the musical" I said.
"Fine! That's fine! It's all fine. But I won't want this to be a showmance. Really, I'll want it to be the real thing. I mean it feels like it is the real thing I just... I want a chance to prove it. I do. I mean... I..."
"Ricky" I started "You know in musicals when you break out in song when you've ran out of things to say?"
"Yeah?" he said smiling.
"Sometimes it's easier to just kiss" I said walking towards him.
"Yeah" he repeated, only this time smiling bigger as we kissed.
"I guess we are over then Ricky?" Gina asked with her voice full of hatred.
"Uhh, yeah..." Ricky answered awkwardly scratching the back of his neck "Can we still stay friends though?"
