Chapter 28
The confession
*Jacob's POV*
I was heading downstairs as I spotted Nikolai sitting down.
I decided to talk to him and I don't know I'll just try.
"Nikolai?" I said
"W-what?" he said looking away from my eyes.
"Can we talk?" I said to him as he widen his eyes.
"What's there to talk about?" he says as he tried to get up.
"Wait" I said grabbing his hands.
"What do you want Jacob?" he said looking at me with confusion.
"I- um" I stutter
"Let go" he said trying to get out of my grip.
"I like you Nikolai" I said as I stared at him.
"Y-You what?" he question
"I've been liking you since we were in high school, the first time I saw you at the library you were reading peacefully, and I've been attracted to you since then, I was happy the moment we became friends it was enough for me at least I can see you in a closer view, but I haven't had the courage to confess cuz you're my best friend and maybe it'll ruin our friendship" I said looking at him
"I- um I can't understand you liked me?" he said not believing what I just said.
"Yeah until now" I said as he widen his eyes and he laugh.
"Stop joking Jacob you're scaring me" he said as he punched my shoulder and laugh.
"It's not a joke Nikolai I'm serious" I said holding his hand.
"O-kay wait just let me calm down first" he said as he covers his face as he thinks.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Y-yeah I just can't believe that you also have feelings for me " he says making my eyes widen.
"You like me too?" I asked not sure about what he just said.
"I-um yeah for a long time too" he says while looking down
"Then why are you avoiding me?" I asked
"I tried to give up on you cuz I think that I don't stand a chance with you and maybe you'll reject me" he said looking away.
"So that means we liked each other?" I said trying not to awkward.
"Um I- guess so yeah" he said looking embarrassed.
"It's awkward right?" I said as I laugh
"It really is" he said as he smiled.
"So um I don't want to rush you or anything it's too sudden and I-um" I stutter not knowing what to say anymore.
"I know but still we can give it a try and see if it'll work out" he said making my heart beat fast.
"S-sure I'm willing to so why not? I said to him and we just smiled at each other looking like fools.
Yeah I did it, I just can't explain how much I love him or how I've longed enough to say this to him.
I guess this is it there's no turning back after all I can't control this feelings of mine, Ugh this is awkward we're best friends yet I fall in love with him,
there's nothing wrong with that right? I mean come on we're free to love whom we want right.
I didn't regret confessing my feelings to Nikolai if I hadn't I wouldn't have known that we felt the same way.
So I guess we'll start slowly and try to work it out. It's a new day for the both of us.
