Falling for my father's best friend - BWWM

It's just a white lie, right?

I wake up two hours later from my mothers usual loud colombian music. I get up and go into the toilet and see my hair all messed up. I get into my shower and do my usual routine. Once I get out I hear my phone get a message. I pick it up and see it was from Nicholas.

How are you Scarlett? I hope this morning wasn't too much for you. Haven't been able to stop thinking about you all day

I instantly grow a big smile on my face. He's been thinking about me? God how can it be possible to feel this gidish over a text message?

Neither have I.... Oh and no don't think that way, I was actually having an early class

Ok I might have lied on that last part but I really didn't wanna hurt his feelings.

I have to be in New York this week. There's some things I have to take care of. I would really like it if you could come for the weekend? I know you always wanted to come, I could show you around?

Woah did he just ask me to spend the weekend with him, alone... IN NEW YORK?

I would love to... :)

Great I'll send a car for you on friday at 4'clock.

Im not going to lie to you, this week has gone by extremely slow. All I wanted to do was see his face again, hear his voice. But he's been so busy and we text here and there but I try not to bother him. He double checked with me yesterday if I was still coming and I undoubtedly said yes, but I was starting to think maybe he was regretting asking me. I wouldn't blame him. I mean the whole idea was crazy. I had to ask my girls to lie to my parents and say I was staying at their place. 

*Flashback*

''Are you sure you wanna go through with this babes?'' Emma asked with a hint of worry in her voice. 

''Yes I swear. And no he isn't forcing me and it isn't a sexual thing. He knows I always wanted to see New York, plus it is the city of my dreams'' I say hoping to calm their nerves. 

''We know that he isn't the pressuring kind of guy. But the fact that you never lie to your parents kind of worries us. Even when we were younger you could never keep your mouth shut'' Melissa lets out a giggle but I could still hear the slight hint of worry hidden in that giggle. 

''Yes it's true I don't like lying to them but what am I gonna say? Hey mom and dad Im going to New York that one city you guys don't want me to go to, oh and Im also going to be staying with Nicholas?'' I say with much sarcasm in my voice to prove my point. 

''Ok I see what you mean now'' Mel chimes in once again. ''But just so i get this straight, the plan is that we're all staying over at Emma's place?'' She asks.

I nod. 

''Honestly it's kind of great timing since mom is going with Riley and Tom on Friday to nana's in Florida and they won't be back till like Sunday evening?'' Emma says. 

''Kind of like destiny?'' Mel says with a cheeky smile. We all start to laugh but inside I was still a bit worried. I didn't like that I was lying to my family, it wasn't like me, but somehow the thought of ditching was worse. I knew I would regret it if I didn't have at least one damn adventure in my boring life. 

*End of flashback*  

It was my last lesson of the day and I was trying my best to pay attention knowing Mrs.Darling was having a close eye on me after last time. Time flew for the first time today and before I knew it the class was over, the bell rang and I went out with Ryan beside me as we waited for the girls to come out as well.
