I'm in Love With My Best Friend

by Fearless Pinoy

  Mom prepared the food and we talked a lot, after the dinner seeing that it was already night and the rain suddenly occurs, they stay the night in our house. As I was sitting inside the theater room to just watch movie, I notice that someone is staring at me I looked at the starting area of the person’s eyes and I saw my little sister staring blankly at me “Hey! I didn’t saw you in the dinner table, where were you?” I smile. She just gazes at me with an angry look. “Is there any problem?” “{I just miss you but you didn’t approach me in my room” she sobs. I ran towards her and give her a hug; she’s still my baby sister. “Stop crying, I’m sorry I was just shock about the happenings lately. Want to watch movie with me?” I try to change the subject. A knock from the door occurs and there Clint, Nick and Myka standing. “Hey, why is there a drama movie here?” Myka snap! “Why don’t you shut your mouth?” I hissed. I’m so bloody mad at her! “Nin?” Clint asked. “CLINT!” Nin jump happily and hug him, does she know her? When? Why didn’t I know him? Sounds unfair! “You visit? Why didn’t you let us know?” Nin punched his arms. “Easy little girl, I just came to visit my old friend that doesn’t remember me anymore” he pouted. I can’t hide my laughter and all of us laugh.

  We pick a movie to watch and Nin sleep beside me, I cuddle her and lay her head on my lap. “I can carry her to her room if you want” Clint said. “Don’t worry about it Clint, it’s fine though!” I replied, I can feel some eyes staring at us then I look at the location of that blazing eyes and I gasps in horror! Bloody hell! Nick is madly staring at us, I just smile sweetly at him but he looks furious. What is his problem? Clint jerk away from me but I grab his arms he frowns. “Don’t if you don’t mind I need you by my side, you know to help me from Nin” I smiled. “Okay! But I think there’s a blazing furious eyes staring at us don’t you feel anything?” he whisper. I giggle, he too can feel the angry look of Nick, and well who cares he has his girlfriend all around his bloody body! “Don’t worry, I don’t give a shit!” I smirk. “You’re so…” “charming and I know that” I teased. “HAHA! Funny” he replied. The movie is so romantic with action and drama 3 in 1 in short summary. I’m sleepy which lead me to let my head sleep on Clint’s hard chest! I felt warm and then darkness claims me.

  CHAPTER TEN

  NICK’S P.O.V

  I keep looking at Nikki and Clint! Did I just felt Jelly? Fuck! I remember the day when Nikki and Clint a wedding show when we were kids. I really don’t like that game, it’s like losing my best friend because of another man! As the movie is in the climax part, I again glaze at them. Nikki is now sleeping on Clint’s chest, Clint notice me and smile. “She’s beautiful don’t you think?” he said “I know that already” I replied “I mean your girl” he nod at Myka whose sleeping beside me “You like her?” I asked. “What? Bloody NO! I just want to let you know that you can’t have two girls at once” what is he talking about? I just smile and focused on the movie. About a minute or so Nikki is awake “Hey Clint!” she stated. “Hey Nikki” he replied. “Am I that heavy?” “No! You know what I can look at you every day” fuck! Did he really just say that? “Nikki, your mom told me that you will come with me in New York?” I change the subject “Yeah! I just need to pack up my things so that we can go tonight!” “Tonight?” I asked. I check my Iphone and shit! It’s already morning. “Yeah! Tonight!” I correct! “Well, I better get going don’t you think?” Clint interrupts. “Why don’t you come with us in New York?” Nikki asked. What the fuck is she thinking? If she think that I will agree then she’s wrong! “Well, maybe I just visit you there. I have some things to do, you know family business” he replied. “Family Business?” I asked. “Yeah! If only Nikki just go in Hawaii maybe we saw each other there but she didn’t…” “So you’re in Hawaii?” Nikki snaps! “Yeah! Actually I’m waiting for you there because your parents told me that you will be my date but unfortunately you didn’t come” he pouted. “Oh! That’s unfortunate” I snap. They both turn at me with a confuse look on their face! What did I just say? I’m sounding like a girl! For me to hide my unforgivable jealousy I give them a wicked smile. “You’re so pathetic don’t you know?” Nikki hissed. “What? I just give some sympathy to Clint! That must be so bloody boring not having a date…” “Actually I do have a date and it was Nin” Clint snaps. “Oh? So you like Nin? I think you’re so older than her” I snap back “Well, just a friendly date dude and hey! I ‘m serious that I’ll marry the girl even though I was just a kid” I give him a wicked grin but a blazing I-will-kill-you look. “Is that so?” I smile “Well? Maybe someday Clint! But for now can you just two stop arguing okay? Don’t you feel that you two are already shouting?” Nikki interrupts. I really am angry right now! Pretty much mad of him! I don’t like this feeling! I have my girl! I love her! I don’t know!

  Myka woke up after the floorshow “Hey! I really sleep deeply” she lean down and kissed me on the lips. I was shock but kissed her back. “Get some room you bloody insane” Nikki shouts. “Why don’t we leave them here and go upstairs” I heard Clint whisper to Nikki. After they can escape in the theater room I pushed Myka to gasps some hair. “Stay! I just missed my girl and Nikki? You must be okay with it now because you’re coming with us to New York” I said. “Whatever!” she rolled her eyes on me “Myka you really have the best guy” Nikki smirk “I know right?” Myka replied. “Well, Clint can you lend me a hand? You know, Nin?” Nikki points Nin’s body lying in her side. “Sure…” “I’ll do that” I muttered. “Don’t worry, I can do it and besides your girl needs you here” Clint smiled. “Yeah! And I want to talk to Clint so we better get going? See you guys later” Nikki said and then there gone.

  Myka and I were left in the theater room “You’re jealous of them, are you?” Myka asked which makes me frowns. It’s not obvious is it? “Huh? What? Why should I?” I replied innocently. “Don’t lie to me Nick, I know you; I know that you just take me back because you don’t want to ruin your relationship with Nikki but hey! I’m not stupid to just neglect the fact that you’re just hurting yourself and worst Nikki” she smiled. “No! I will learn to love you, I will forget her…” “How Nick? She’s coming with us; she will be your business partner. Yeah! I can fool her that I’m still madly deeply in love with you but you can’t hide the truth that no matter what we do, she already stole your heart!” I sigh and lean down on the couch, actually Myka’s right! Nikki stole my heart since the time that we have sex! I was just too afraid to tell her because maybe, just maybe she doesn’t love me like the way I do and the fact that I hurt her so much. “Hey! Here’s the deal, why don’t we play this game ‘til we find out if she’s in love with you but you know Nick I bet she’s in love with you but just afraid to show it because I’m here” Myka snaps. “What? No! I don’t know But Myka I don’t want to hurt you anymore and I don’t want to play games with her, she’s different. She’s not just my best friend anymore! I love her” there I said it loud and clear which makes both Myka and I jump off the couch. “Aha! I told you that you love her” Crap! Clint? “Are you spying on us?” Myka asks. “Well, let’s just say YES!” Clint smirks. “Here’s the deal, I will win her heart Nick!” Clint warned. “Are you threatening me Clint?”

  “No I’m not; I’m serious now that I know that you love her it’s like the most interesting competition I will be facing”

  “Well, you better be ready Clint! I will fight” I hissed. But how? How will I tell Nikki that I love her? I will talk to her! Now is the time!

  “Okay! Let’s see” Clint smirked. I didn’t respond to his words and ran off towards Nikki’s room! I must tell her! I must tell her. I knock at the door of Nikki waiting for the response “Come in” she said. I burst in to her room and I saw her packing up. “Where are you going?” I asked confusingly. “Duh! New York!” Bang! I nearly forgot that but whatever I need to talk to her. “Do you like Clint?” I asked. What’s the matter with me, direct to the point you bastard stupid Nick. “Why did you asked?” she gave me a what’s-up-with-you
look. “Nothing, you know I just want to…” “maybe” she snap. My whole world just falls down! “What?” I asked but now I want a clear answer. “Maybe? Well, he’s single and so as I. You know, maybe we can work things out and besides I don’t have a boyfriend ever since because of you damned protective stunts” she smirk. “Are you smirking on me?” I smile. “Well, it’s up to you. Now cards on the table, why did you just ask?”

  “Nothing, I just want to know what my best friend feels when she met her childhood crush! You know, I can still remember the day you keep on talking about him that’s sound annoying actually” I grin. “Well, I’m sorry but you know seeing him again makes me like well…” “I know but best I’m here for you” I snap. I was hurt, I was numb, I was stupid now it’s too late and clearly too late. “Hey! I’m sleepy” she said. “Well, I guess I have to go no” I replied. “Where are you going?” she asks. “Downstairs! You’re sleepy right, so I want to give you more privacy. After all, you’re still mad at me” I pouted. I heard her giggle and without a doubt she hugged me “What?” I frown. “Best I’m sorry for what I did! Yeah I was mad at you but you know big head! I missed you so much! I forgive you” she said. I sigh in relief, but still I’m hurt! I hug her tight and if only time will stop ticking for just a day! “Would you like to sleep beside me?” she asks. “What?” “why? Are you afraid? About the sex part, well let’s just forget it okay? We are both drunk and you know when alcohol runs through your veins…” “Yeah, yeah, yeah! Let’s sleep I’m also tired” I snap!

  We both climb on the bed and I embrace her. I really missed this girl, though I know that It’s hard to win her love again, but why so sudden Nikki? Now that I’m ready to tell you how I feel, why? Is this what they called karma or it’s too late? I will win you back! I will. “Nick! What if Myka will look after you tonight?” she muttered. “We broke up already” I admitted. “What? Why?” she raised her head so now I were face to face. “Well, we just realize that we couldn’t work things out anymore” “Then what did she say?” I glanced at her and sigh. “Well, she agreed to it! You know, it’s complicated, you will know but maybe someday” I smiled. “So does this means that you need to date another girl to accompany you?” she grins. “Well, maybe I need to face the world on my own for now. You know works and things” “But…” “Nikki, we need to take a rest, we have a flight later on I don’t want to be exhausted okay?” I snap. “Is Myka coming with us?” “Yeah! She lived there” I replied. “I want to sleep so mornight” I snap.

  CHAPTER ELEVEN

  NIKKI’S P.O.V

  I felt the heat burning on my arms and my legs are surrounded by long legs, as I open my lazy eyes I saw my best friend embracing me tight. Last night was fun, I got my best friend back though he reveals that Myka and him are done and I well… I met my first crush or love or whatsoever again! But the most confusing part was why the hell Nick asked me about my feelings! Why now? I’m totally confused about this but I need to be fair. Clint taught me to forget my feelings about Nick and well actually not totally but I do really need to forget my feelings for him?

  I unwrapped myself from his embrace put unfortunately he hugged me tighter. “Hey! Are you trying to kill me?” I snap. “Hmmm… I just miss the olden days where you and I used to do this” he mumbled. “GET UP! I’m hungry” I muttered. He slowly releases me and cocooned to my side, I was again able to see his perfect face. “Amuse by my face best?” he snaps. “Amuse yourself! Get up now; we need to be ready for tonight!” I shouted. He quickly gets up and pouted, why he’s so cute while doing that kind of face dance. “What’s the time?” he asks. I look at my clock on my bedside table and holy shit! It’s already 6 in the afternoon! We only got 3 hours to prepare. “We over slept!” I mouth. He frowns and gazes to my clock, and then I giggle looking his pale face. “Why so pale Nick?” I tease. “Shut up you shorty! We really do overslept! I must go home and prepare my stuff, see you this evening” before I could response, his nowhere in sight! That really was fast.

  I decided to walk to my bathroom and take a quick shower and by means of quick just 10 minutes shower. As the water sooths in my body I snap back about the revelation last night about Nick and Myka. Why so sudden? Why now? Now, that I already ugh! How frustrating, maybe this is the sign that Nick and I are just best friends and no more!

  I finished my bath and quickly put on my black jeans and white shirt. I looked at the mirror and I saw the innocent happy girl back then. People do change, especially me. I put some lip gloss and eye liner then I’m done. I wear a pair of high-cut black converse shoes. Now It’s perfect, I’m like a rock-star that so afraid to sing in front of people. I heard a knock on my door. “Come in” I mutter. The door open and Clint is standing there. “Good morning” he says shyly. “Good morning” I turned around to look at him and give him a bear hug. “How’s your sleep?”

  “Well, I have this weird dream though” he raises his hand towards his check. “What kind of weird dream?” I look at him quizzically. “Well, in my dream you told me that you love me. It’s just a dream right?” he pouted. Oh! Now, he’s playing games with me. I roll my eyes and giggle. He’s really crazy! “Is my dream amuses you my bride?”

  “A little bit my groom” I giggle. We stare at each other and then burst out laughing. “You know, you better eat your let me think ahh! Breakfast, lunch and dinner; All in one” he smirk. “I know right, I really overslept!” “Is it just you or?”

  My mouth drops open. “Don’t be shocked about it Nikki, I know Nick slept with you” he sighs. “Well, yeah! I missed him and besides he ask me something weird last night about my feelings for you” “Your feelings for me?”
