New Girl

Chapter 7

Nicole woke up with Peter's arm over her and he was still sleeping. Nicole pulled out her phone and messaged Megan.

Nicole: So I was almost mugged yesterday.

Megan: Wait what?! Are you okay?

Nicole: Yes I'm okay. Peter saved me but I was cut, my arm hurts so bad.

Megan: Oh man I hope your arm gets better.

Nicole: Thanks.

Peter woke up. "Good morning." he smiled.

"Good morning." Nicole leaned on Peter's shoulder. "My arm stings." Nicole frowned.

"Aw it's time to clean it." Peter said wrapping his arm around Nicole to comfort her.

"Okay well we better do that." Nicole shook Peter's arm off. She knew how much it hurt them both they can't be together yet.

Peter sighed. "Right."

Nicole went into the kitchen and Peter followed. "Aunt May could you help with her arm?" Peter asked his aunt as he gently took off the blood stained bandage.

Aunt May cleaned Nicole's cut with peroxide and wrapped it back up with clean bandages. "Thank you May." Nicole smiled.

"You're welcome." May smiled back.

There was a knock at the door and Peter being iffy after what happened last night he opened it. "Mr Stark!" Peter gasped in surprise.

"Hello Peter." Tony spoke. "I heard you saved a girl from getting mugged yesterday." Tony looked around the room.

"I did and she's my girl- my friend." Peter looked down. "She's over there." Peter pointed.

Tony looked. "Good job Peter." Tony smiled. "My aren't you lovely." Tony complimented Nicole.

"Oh, thank you." Nicole smiled.

"Are you Daryl's sister?" Tony wondered.

"Yes." Nicole looked confused.

"Take good care of her Peter. Daryl will be away for a while but he will be with me so he'll be just fine." Tony said.

"Of course Mr. Stark." Peter nodded.

Tony left after that.

"Peter, what's going on?" Nicole was worried

"We'll talk about it more when you feel better." Peter said.

"Well I need to talk to you about something else." Nicole said as she grabbed Peter's hand and pulled him to his room.

"Sure what's up?" Peter wondered.

"It's really bothering be that we can't be together yet." Nicole frowned.

Peter hugged Nicole. "I know. Me too." He pressed his forehead to hers for a second then backed away.

"I know it hurts." Nicole looked down. "Just a little while longer." Nicole tried not to cry.

"I tried to hold your hand while we were walking in the park." Peter confessed looking down.

"Oh Peter."Nicole hugged Peter and didn't let go."

Peter looked at Nicole, "I've had thoughts of kissing you too." Peter started crying on Nicole's shoulder.

Nicole rubbed Peter's back. "It's okay Peter we can't keep letting it hurt us like this." Nicole said.

Peter dried his eyes. "I know. I just wish it didn't have to be this way." he sighed.

"I know." Nicole sighed as she sat down on Peter's bed. Peter sat down beside her and leaned on her shoulder.

Aunt May popped her head in Peter's room, "Peter are you hungry?" "No not really." Peter shook his head. Aunt May motioned Peter to come talk to her.

"Yeah?" Peter wondered.

"What's the matter Peter??" Aunt May was worried.

"I want to be with her so bad Aunt May." Peter frowned. "I've been crying for days over her."

"And why can't you?" Aunt May asked.

"I'm sorry Aunt May but it hurts to talk about it." Peter hugged his aunt and came back to his room and saw Nicole laying there so he came and laid with her.

Nicole rolled over to face Peter and sunk herself into his chest. "Comfy?" Peter blushed.

"Yes." Nicole laughed. Nicole grabbed Peter's hand and threw it over her waist and fell asleep.

Peter smiled. "Good night beautiful." he whispered. Peter went to sleep after that thinking of Nicole the whole night.
