A Nian Story

chapter 4

Ah so sorry its been like kinda a while since I updated the story lol but..... hope you guys like it. 

CHAPTER 4:

*IAN POV*

"How dare you disrespect me like that. We have been married for 5 years! I trusted you enough to go get coffee with her and now this! God Ian you just made a big fool of me in front of the whole world!"

"Nikki Nikki Nikki please listen to me baby."

"Don't call me baby!"

"Fine but please it was just coffee nothing happened I swear to you. I would never hurt you ever! The media took it out of context like they do with everything. I love you Nikki and I wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize our marriage!" I could see that Nikki was trying not to start crying in front of me, she wanted to make it seem like this didn't bother her that much, but I knew her too well. This news article was her worst nightmare come to life and even though she has said multiple times she isn't worried that I will run off and leave her for Nina I still think that deep down she worries about that constantly.

I pulled her toward me, wrapping her in my arms trying to comfort her. "I promise that I will never do anything to hurt you. You, our daughter, our perfect little family, that is my life and I would do nothing to ruin that." I felt her arms wrap around me and her head bury a little deeper in my chest. At that moment I knew that things would be better.

That day we spent playing in the yard as a family and baking cookies. We ended the night with a family dinner, homemade pasta and all, and a disney movie. The thoughts of Nina and the article didn't come back to me till later when Nikki went to go put our daughter down for bed and I was left alone in the living room with my thoughts.

My thoughts wondered what Nina might be going through right now. I know she had a boyfriend but I honestly didn't know how serious they were. Paul also was probably confused, I didn't tell him that Nina and I were going to get coffee so the news article was going to be a shock to him too. But all that mattered was that Nikki knew that nothing happened between us.

*NINA POV*

Shit, was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the TMZ article about Ian and I. I immediately thought of what Shaun was thinking. Would he assume the media, or would he trust me when I told him that nothing happened? Right on cue Shaun called me.

"Hey Shaun, whats up?"

"Is it true?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't pull that crap with me, you know what I'm talking about."

"You mean the article" there was a slight pause while I was thinking of a good way to phrase what I am about to say. "It was just coffee, nothing happened. It was just two old friends catching up while getting coffee."

"Two old friends who just happened to be ex lovers in the past."

"Shaun you know I would never do that to you."

"Do what, cheat on me! Cause the media sure thinks you did!"

"Shaun are you really going to believe TMZ over me, i'll say it again if you want me to. I DIDN'T CHEAT!"

"Fine."

"Fine what. Fine in a sarcastic way or Fine you believe you me."

"Fine I believe you. Im sorry Nina that I lost it, it's just... you know what nevermind. I got to go Nina, talk to you later!"

"Ok bye" but he hung up before I could finish all that I wanted to say. I could tell that he was upset. He normally didn't act that way when he was just "fine." Ugh why did TMZ have to take everything out of context. We were literally just getting coffee as two friends catching up after years of no communication. Well that was it, I was done wasting time on pointless arguments with a somewhat jealous boyfriend. I decided I'd watch a movie and eat pints of ice cream to distract from my somewhat horrible day but just as I was getting settled Paul called.

"Hey Wesley, whats up?"

"Ah nothing much, just reading articles about you and Ian getting coffee just the usual."

"So you saw"

"Yea I think the whole entire world has seen the article about how you and Ian are allegedly back together" he paused "So are you guys?"

"NO NO NO PAUL! I would never do that. First off im in a relationship, second he is MARRIED and has a child, and third if we were getting back together, which we are not, you would probably know since I tell you basically everything and Ian also tells you everything. So to recap, no we are not getting back together and we won't ever get back together. I have moved on and so has he."

"Wow, nice speech. If I didn't know your acting style I may actually have believed you."

"Paul stop, it's not funny."

"What's not funny? You still being in love with Ian? Cuz I find it amusing how you keep lying to yourself about your true feelings." An awkward silence filled as I searched for a comment to fill the void of silence between our two phones. "So is this silence confirming your love for him."

"No it's not. Paul stop I can't think about Ian that way anymore. It's been 7 years, I have moved on from him years ago. God I had to if I was going to be professional with him on set. So me and Ian going to get coffee is strictly just two friends catching up after YEARS of awkward tension due to the presence of the media. So stop, stop trying to bring up old feelings that I spent months burying because if they start to resurface I don't know if I would ever be ok." I could tell Paul was stunned. He didn't know what to respond to that, hell I didn't know what to say about me somewhat confessing to loving Ian.
"Hey, sorry Neens I didn't mean to upset you."

"No its ok, I shouldn't have gone off at you at that."

"Your fine, but Nina..."

"Yea"

"You should tell him. I don't know for sure, but he definitely still feels something for you. You're not completely erased from his heart you know and I honestly don't think he ever would."
