Ricky POV - Christmas Day

I was having a really good dream about me and Nini. We were...

"Merry Christmas!" I shot up out of bed and the noise.

"Nini? What are you doing here? It's," I looked at the clock. "6 o'clock in the morning."

"I wanted to spend Christmas morning with my boyfriend. Don't get up, we are gonna cuddle until your parents realize we are together, okay?"

"Okay, come here." I scooted over for her. She came and laid down. I just noticed she was still in her pajamas. We snuggled together, her head on my chest. We fell asleep.

5 hours later (11:00) - Nini POV

I woke up to singing. I opened my eyes and saw Ricky in his chair with his guitar. I don't think he knows I'm awake.

The world melts away when I'm with youAnd I know you're afraid to jump too soon, ohBut I promise if you wouldI'd love you better than he ever couldGirl, we'd have it good, we'd have it good

How'm I supposed to think about anyone else?
How am I to go on keeping this to myself?
I am done pretending I want anyone else
Anyone else, anyone else 

I keep hoping it'll only be a matter of time'Til the memory fades and the feelings subsideTime won't help, I can't settle for anyone elseAnyone else, anyone else

After he finished, he turned around. He saw me awake and put his guitar down.

"That was amazing Ricky."

"Oh uh, thank you. You weren't supposed to hear that."

"What, why?"

"Because it's about you." He muttered something I couldn't hear.

"What? I didn't hear you."

"It's about you."

"What do you mean it's about me?"

"I wrote it when you were with Ethan."

"But when I was with Ethan, you were with-"

"Abby, I know. But I really loved you the whole time. I got really jealous when I found out you were dating Ethan."

I was really shocked. I had no clue he felt that way. I mean, he did kind of show it. He seemed jealous when he asked me out.

"That kind of makes sense. I mean you seemed jealous when I told everyone he asked me out. You left the lunchroom, not even kissing Abby goodbye."

"What? No I didn't."

"Let's see, shall we?"

Flashback

"Oh, I'm not." They all looked at me. "I'll still sit here but it's not permanent, and that's because..." they all looked worried. "Ethan asked me out!"

All the girls (plus Seb and Carlos but minus Abby) started screaming, but not super loud where everyone could hear us.

"I'm happy for you Nini. Glad you got over your other crush." Abby said.

"Who was your other crush?" Ricky asked.

"Oh she didn't tell you? It was y-"

"It doesn't matter. That's over. I don't like them now." I looked at Abby but she didn't looked like she believed it. "I'm just so happy he asked me on a date. It feels so surreal."
