We sat across from each other, silently avoiding any eye contact. I can't bring myself to look at him. Gosh, why does he have to be so cute right now? It was awkward, I must say.
"Why were you ignoring me?" He said, looking at me disappointed. I bit my lip and looked away from him. Does he expect me to tell him that his twin came to my room, warning me to stay the hell away from him? I don't think so.
"I wasn't." I lied and he just stayed silent. "What happened last night? Did something happen?" He was worried I can't help but smile at the fact that he cares. "Nothing. It's just my dad." I fake laugh. I knew he wouldn't believe me, but I just can't tell him right now.
"I don't like this." He closes his eyes using his palm and sighs frustratedly. I was beginning to feel guilty and worried. I can't lose him, please. "I'm sorry." I went near him, hoping that he would calm down. He looked up at me since I was standing and he was seated on the chair.
"Then tell me why did you ignore me? Don't you know it f*cking hurts me seeing you close to Martin?" He was frustrated. "I was just scared of losing you." I whispered, silently hoping that he didn't hear me. "What you're doing now doesn't seem like you are afraid of losing me." he said sarcastically.
"You won't understand." I sigh.
He rolled his eyes before standing up, looking directly at me in the eye.
"Try me." His eyes were dark and I could sense that he was angry. "Roxy," I breathe out, and I seriously hope I can take it back. He stared at me in confusion and anger. "What are you trying to tell me, Rose?" He said dangerously close to me.
He didn't call me Rosa.
I said, breathing heavily. "Nolan came to my house last night and warned me to stay away from you because he doesn't want you to get hurt again, and so I'm doing him a favour because I don't want to see you hurt." He just stared at me, shocked.
"He f*cking what?" And I regretted that I told him that, oh my God, he's going to hate me! I was startled. "What the f*ck is that supposed to mean? I chose to be with you and he has no right to make you stay the hell away from me." he said in anger.
"I'm sorry Nicolas. Please don't hate me."
"Why did you listen to him anyway?" He said, softly cupping my cheeks. "Because he said you'd hate me if you found out Roxy was related to me, and he said it'd be better if I and him were together, and it'd be a lot easier for you to forget about me, and I don't know, but I can't see you hurting because of me, even though I can't lose you. I'm sorry. I am really sorry." I cried. I can't hold it anymore. I covered my face with my palm and cried. It feels good to tell him the truth.
He was silent. I did not expect him to hug me, but he did. He could even chuckle at this moment! Seriously?
"You don't have to do that, Rosa. I won't hate you. You're my everything and I don't want you away from me." he said, smiling.
I don't understand.
"What? You're not angry with me?" I wiped my tears as I stared at him, shocked. "I don't know..." He smiled weakly, "but right now, it doesn't matter and please don't you dare ignore me again." he said, getting closer to my face as our nose touched.
I can't help but feel relieved.
"I won't." I said, getting close to him. He sneakily put his hand around my waist and pulled me close to him. "And you deserve to be punished." he whispered. He was about to kiss me, but we were stopped by someone coughing on the door.
"What do you think you're doing?" The security guard glared at both of us. Ohmygod! I backed away from Nicolas, but he still had his arm around me. "Uh.. nothing. We're just... uh... chatting?" I said, feeling embarrassed that he saw us in this situation. Nicolas sighs and glares at the security guard. Gosh, he is so weird.
"Out now!" He growled, and Nicolas pulled us away from the man and we started running like maniacs down the hallways. As we reached the school gate, we couldn't stop laughing. That was so embarrassing. And I noticed Nicolas was still holding my hand, and I couldn't be happier.
"Come on, let's go."
Nicolas said as he pulled my hand. It was like a dream come true
