Chapter 16: Angel

tw: mentions underage drug use

Nini: H-he just wanted- I-I'm so stupid *I start crying*
Ricky: I am so sorry
Nini: Don't apologize, you're not the dumb one
Ricky: You're not dumb, you just fell for one of Ej's tricks
Nini: I fell for the biggest jerk, I can't believe how naive I was *I breakdown and I keep crying while I hold onto you*
Ricky: Listen to me, you are so strong, Ej never deserved you.
Nini: It's not that I even liked him that much, I just feel so stupid. How could I think it was a good idea to go out with the school's biggest player?
Ricky: I don't know, Nini
Nini: *I pull away and sniffle* Do you still think this is cute? *I point to myself*
Ricky: absolutely
Nini: Even with all the blotchy red bits on my face and the tears?
Ricky: for sure. especially with that black spot on your neck
Nini: *laughs a little* The one that you put there
Ricky: which I still feel awful about
Nini: Don't, I love it
Ricky: what?
Nini: It's a symbol from the one boy that actually cares about me *smiles*
Ricky: *smiles* then I love it too, but will still try my hardest not to do it again *laughs little*
Nini: If you do, just make sure you hide it a little better
Ricky: will do *laughs*
Nini: C-can we watch new girl?
Ricky: are we gonna actually watch it this time? *laughs*
Nini: Mhm, I promise *laughs a little*
Ricky: then I'd love to. oh and Kourt's gonna be here within the hour just to drop off the oil
Nini: Okay, do you wanna go downstairs to watch it and eat breakfast?
Ricky: sure
Nini: *we get up and walk downstairs. I pull out a tray of frozen croissants* I'm not really in the mood to make from scratch today, so we'll use up the rest of the batch from a week ago. Is that okay?
Ricky: im sure they'll still be amazing
Nini: *laughs* I hope I meet your expectations *I preheat the oven* Do you want anything to drink?
Ricky: just water is fine
Nini: No vodka or anything? *laughs a little*
Ricky: not this early in th- wait, are you making fun of me? *laughs a little*
Nini: Maybe...
Ricky: wowwww
Nini: I'm sorry, that wasn't very nice
Ricky: it's okay
Nini: *My eyes start to water again* No I feel bad, I'm really sorry
Ricky: woah no no no, hey its fine. I was just messing with you
Nini: But now I feel awful, I'm such a jerk *I start crying again and I walk into the living room*
Ricky: *I follow you* you are not a jerk, its really not a big deal. Come here *I hug you* what's wrong?
Nini: Sorry, I'm just really emotional about everything that happened this morning. And I'm on my period and I just wanna scream and yell and cry and eat ice cream and cry a little more while hitting a punching bag but I also just want to cuddle someone and maybe eat some more ice cream
Ricky: Then ice cream and cuddles it is. and if you ever feel the need to punch something, pillows always help *laughs a little*
Nini: *I grab a pillow and start punching it and I eventually chuck it on the ground* I feel a lot better now
Ricky: seee i told you *laughs* *a few minutes later* *the door bell rings* that must be Kourtney. Would you like to meet her?
Nini: Do you think she's gonna like me?
Ricky: for sure *I walk over to the front and open the door* hey Kourt
Kourtney: Hey loser, where's Nini?
Ricky: living room, follow me *we walk inside* Kourt, this is Nini
Kourtney: Oh honey, what's wrong *I come over and sit by you*
Nini: I found out Ricky's step brother was only with me just to get into my cheer skirt and check my name off the hookup list *sniffles*
Kourtney: God, boys are so stupid aren't they?
Ricky: um, hi?
Kourtney: stupid
Ricky: mK
Kourtney: Well, I brought with the oil for your hicky from ricky-
Ricky: *laughs*
Kourtney: Shut your mouth Bowen, I'm trying to have a conversation. Sorry about him, he can be a ass sometimes, but you just have to learn to do with it
Nini: *laughs*
Kourtney: Anyways, I'll leave the oil here for you and if you need anything else, let me know *I hand you a bag* My number is in the if you need it and some special brownies my girlfriend and I made last night *winks*
Nini: I don't get it, why are they special?
Ricky: Nini doesn't do those kind of things
Kourtney: You've never had any sort of edible before?
Nini: *I shake my head*
Kourtney: Then just give em to Ricky, he'll eat them *laughs*
Ricky: *laughs* I will
Nini: You've done drugs before?
Ricky: like I said, a fucked up step brother *laughs*
Nini: You're not fucked up *I hit your arm* So stop saying that otherwise you'll get no more kisses today
Ricky: I haven't even had one kiss today
Nini: Then you better stop saying those things about yourself, do I make myself clear?
Ricky: very
Kourtney: you tell him *laughs*
Nini: *laughs* Thanks again Kourtney, I really appreciate it
Kourtney: of course. anyway, I should head home. Give me a call if you need anything and let me know how the oil works for you.
Nini: Will do
Kourtney: Or give me a call if this one starts pissing you off *laughs*
Ricky: I swear to god-
Kourtney: Bye loser! Oh, and bye Nini!
Nini: Bye Kourtney!
Kourtney: *walks out*
Nini: Okay, she's amazing
Ricky: I swear she loves me *laughs*
Nini: I can tell, you guys treat each other like siblings *laughs*
Ricky: I mean we basically are
Nini: Well you're lucky to have someone like her. She's so nice
Ricky: yeah, she's the best
Nini: *the oven dings* Do you wanna go put in the croissants for me please?
Ricky: sure *I walk over and put them in the oven then come back to you* but you really don't think I'm fucked up? I mean now you know I've done drugs, I drink, have slept with multiple people... like why are you still here?
Nini: Because I care about you, and you obviously somewhat care for me too. I know you do stupid things, but I also know that you know the effects of the stupid things that you do. I know you'd never force me into anything and I know that you're an amazing person when you're just you. So maybe you're not the captain of the basketball team and maybe you don't have the perfect grades or track record. But all I know, is that you've somehow gotten the head cheerleader, the goody too shoes, the perfect little girl, to fall for you
Ricky: I fell for you too, Nini. I don't know how and I don't know when but I know that every minute with you is like a stupid match made in heaven. You're so beautiful inside and out and I can't stop thinking about you.
Nini: *smiles* Really?!
Ricky: really
Nini: *I hug you and kiss your cheek* you don't know how happy this makes me
Ricky: me too, and I feel so relieved
Nini: We're you scared too?
Ricky: terrified
Nini: *laughs* Well now you've got it off your chest
Ricky: I just wish my step brother wasn't such an asshole
Nini: Me too, but I don't wanna think about him. It's just you an me right now
Ricky: *smiles* yeah, you and me
Nini: But now I feel obligated to bring it up, what are we going to do now?
Ricky: Do we tell him? Or just have you break up with him and wait it out for awhile?
Nini: Now I kinda wanna see what he has planned for this week. Not that I'm gonna let him touch me or anything, but I just wanna see his face when I tell him no
Ricky: please keep me updated *laughs a little* but like you said, let's not worry about it right now
Nini: Well then what do you wanna do?
Ricky: well I still wanna watch new girl *laughs*
Nini: Then turn it on *I hand you the remote* Turn on whatever episode you want
Ricky: *I turn on some random episode* you still want that ice cream?
Nini: Can we have it with the croissants?
Ricky: do you have ice cream here?
Nini: Mhm, we have lots of options *laughs*
Ricky: then what would you like, I can grab it for us
Nini: Hmmm... Oh! There's this one in there that's caramel ice cream with a bunch of different candies in it
Ricky: sounds funn *I walk to the kitchen and come back with the tub and 2 spoons* it's almost empty anyway *I hand you a spoon*
Nini: Mmm yummy! *I grab the container from you and take a bite* That's absolutely delicious
Ricky: can I try some?
Nini: Sure *I scoop up a bite and give it to you* Good right?
Ricky: mmm it's okay *laughs* doesn't top cookie dough thoug
Nini: I would have to agree, that would have been my first choice but I ate all of that last week
Ricky: Damnit *laughs*
Nini: Whoops *laughs*
Ricky: it's alright
Nini: Well theres other flavors in there if you want them
Ricky: no this is fine. Besides, I need to save room for those croissants
Nini: They should be done any min- *the oven dings* Perfect timing *laughs*
Ricky: *I get up* well come on! I wanna seeee
Nini: Mmmm carry me?
Ricky: what? *laughs*
Nini: The kitchen... it's too far of a walk for me
Ricky: oh god *I bend in front of you* well hop on
Nini: *I jump on and kiss your cheek* Thanks Ricky
Ricky: *I walk us to the kitchen and grab some oven kits and open the oven.* mmm they smell so good *I pull them out and set them on the stove on the cooling rack*
Nini: Hey Ricky?
Ricky: yeah?
Nini: Why did you call me princess yesterday?
Ricky: I guess I thought it'd be cute
Nini: Well just in case you were wondering, I really liked it
Ricky: yeah?
Nini: Yeah, I thought it was sweet
Ricky: then would you mind if I made that like a nick name or something cliche and dumb like that *laughs a little*
Nini: Not at all, you can call me whatever you want
Ricky: Princess, I love it
Nini: What do you want me to call you?
Ricky: whatever you'd like. Just not Richard *laughs*
Nini: What about... angel
Ricky: If you really want to *laughs*
Nini: Angel, I love it
Ricky: I'm just not sure I fit the title *laughs*
Nini: Oh shush *laughs* I could have picked devil instead
Ricky: angels good *laughs*
Nini: *laughs*
Ricky: you know what I wouldn't mind right about now?
Nini: What?
Ricky: *I touch my lips*
Nini: What are you doing?
Ricky: asking you to kiss me
Nini: Then how about you go take us over to the couch
Ricky: *I walk us back to the living room and sit down*
Nini: *I flip around to straddle you and I kiss you*
Ricky: *I kiss back*
Nini:*I hear a knock on the door* What the hell- *I look out the window* Shit! He's here!
Ricky: who?
Nini: Ej!
