Chapter 12
" Cause every time I get too close, I just go mess it up
I keep thinking maybe if you let me back in
We can make it better, breaking every habit
Pull myself together, you could watch it happen
Let it happen, let it happen" Mess it up
(Gracie abrams)
I looked away from him, trying to gather my thoughts and not focus on Nick that who I was sitting on his lap in a car seat
the more his hands held me, the more I was about to melt away from his touch
I decided to get up
" Oh, watch out"
I slipped and knocked something off
a cup that was under Nick's seat
When the cup dropped, I heard something
" Nick, what was that?"
Nick looked scared, and then he said " Nothing, you properly imaging"
I DEFINITELY HEARD A KEYCHAIN SOUND !
I tried to look down, but Nick pulled me back
" Let me go, Nick Larsen"
" Lily No , wait" I kicked him in the stomach
and picked the keys under the seat
it was a keychain that had a Mercedes logo on it with a car key
I really lost count of how many times I said I hate Nick Larsen!
" What is that, Nick ?!"
I shouted at him
" I don't know" He acted as if he had just turned blind
" You Trash!!"
I started hitting Nick,
He just accepted my punches
" Why did you keep us here?"
" Why do you want to go back in?" He asked me
" I don't want to go back in Nick. Staying here was so much better but-"
" Then let's continue what we didn't finish"
Nick said that and took the key from my hand and threw it in the backseat
" Yaaaa"
" Come here" Nick held me and didn't let me move
Why is he so stronggggg?!
His arms were like metal chains
I couldn't escape, but also they were very careful
I wasn't slightly pained by him holding me tightly
" Nick, let me go, or I will killlll you!"
" Oh, to be killed by Lily, i would love that"
" I hate you!"
we were facing each other
I took the chance
my sudden movement towards Nick made him flinch , I bit his neck , and he was surprised
Then I jumped to the back seat
I grabbed the key, and as I was about to unlock the car, Nick was already behind me sitting on the back seat
he pushed me down to the seat
he was on the top of me
The teeth mark of on his neck
We stared at each other ,It was like he wanted me to act to do anything to curse or push him away
He was in deep thoughts
from how we both were lying on the backseat, I was worried that the car would be damaged
I felt his hand sliding on my waist and him coming closer
I am totally capable of pushing him away
but I don't know
Why i am not doing that now?
" You did it first, remember that" Nick whispered that in my ears and pulled the strap of my dress down, revealing my neck
he was going to bite it like how I did
Before he could bite me, I tickled him
He jumped
I didn't know he would actually be tickled
oh boy, I found a new weakness
" Lily be a good gir-"
I tickled him again
he started laughing
why is he so cute
I kept tickling him until he caught my hands and cornered me between the door and the seat
" It's your time"
Nooo
I couldn't even breathe
I was laughing so hard
" You torturer!!!" I screamed between laughters
" I learn quickly" He smirked and kept tickling me
" Nick, please stop it"
" No , I will keep doing that all night" He laughed
" You evil !"
" I prefer to be called devil"
He kept going on till I reached to his neck and pulled myself to him,
I was like a koala hanging into him
my legs were wrapped around him, and I wrapped my hands to his neck
" Stop it"
" What are you planning to do?" He asked
" Nothing, I'm sorry Nick"
" Weird"
"Look what is that?!"
Nick looked at the window
I reached my hand to tickle him, but he grabbed both my hands with one hand of his, and with the other, he wrapped it around my waist
"Ahhh" how did he catch on?
" My Lily is such a bad actor, by the way"
He started to tickle me again
then he suddenly stopped
I took my breath
" What did you suddenly have a heart ?" I sulked
" No , sadly, you fell into the hands of someone that doesn't have a heart"
I pouted at him
" I just realized that I was about to forget what the actual target was" He smirked like he was going to put me in a boiling water so he could have me for dinner
" Nick, I'm your Lily" I said with a teary eye
"And my Lily's Neck seems to look very tasty" He is having me for dinner tonight
he removed the hand that held my waist and moved my chin with it
he opened his mouth
Nooo
Please
Someone save me from this wolfff
"It must be juicy" Nick said that
" You Wolfff"
Tick
the sound of the car door
" What are you guys doing ?"
"LANDONNNNN"
I pushed Nick away and ran out of the car, hiding behind Landon, my only one
" What was happening?!"
Nick got off the car and leaned on the car door that he closed
Nick's shirt was out of his pants, and most of the buttons were undone
me too
my dress straps BOTH were down from my shoulder, and my hair was a mess
" What a great timing Landon" Nick glared at Landon
" Oh, sorry, I should have left you till you ate the poor girl"
"Who?? Lilyy" Nick exclaimed at POOR GIRL
" Look what you have done to her!"
We both looked like we were fighting in the car
" Landon, that stranger was going to eat me alive"
"Oh my Nick, i didn't know you were a can-"
Landon stopped mid-talking
" Nick, you have a bite mark on your Nick"
" I know that POOR GIRL did it" He smirked
Landon took a look at me and then moved away
"Noo wait-" Nick's hand was already on my waist before I could explain myself
" Caught you"
His smile
His eyes
I couldn't even push him away
" Thank you, Landon, for nothing. Come back tomorrow" Nick said as he opened the car door again
" I'm really craving Lily right now, so if you could let me have a taste" Nick moved to kiss me, but I put my hands on his mouth
" Landon, this psycho locked me inside the car"
" What?" Landon was so confused
" It's like i tied you to the car , Lily, you slept on me" He said that and pulled me to him
" Say that you hated what happened, and I will never come close to you again"
Did I hate it?
Staying with my family that didn't want me with them
Or staying with Nick, who I fitted perfectly in his arms
He even made the coldest nights warm
I should push him away
I knew that ! No good will ever come from Nick
but I couldn't decide now
I tried to get out of Nick's embrace
he opened his arms and let me out
" I will go inside" Nick reached to grab my hand before going, but I left
" Why is it so cold here?" Isn't this an indoor event
how can it be soooo cold
I tried to fix my dress in the washing room
I remembered everything that happened today was Saturday
Nick said that we would binge the Jurassic series on our couch
I found myself smiling as I remembered everything
"Nick Larsen" I said, his name in a loving way that I was surprised
I walked out of the washing room
it was 10:45
Why is the event still going?
I kept walking, trying to find my family seat
then some guy approached me
" Hi , I just think you are very beautiful . Would you like to go for coff-"
The guy stopped talking. He looked like he saw the grim reaper
" Is there something wr-" I felt like I touched someone's chest
I knew who it was the same chest I was drooling on hours ago
" Nick ?" I looked up at him, who was standing behind me
He was looking at the guy
almost killing him with a stare
Nick looked very terrifying
he wasn't the same guy that was tickling me
" Who is that Lily?" Nick asked in a cold voice
" No one , I don't know him"
" Why are you approaching a girl you don't know"
Nick said that and reached to grab the guy's collar
the guy ran away
" Give me a second" Nick went after the guy
" Will he kill him?" I asked Landon, who was standing next to me
" No , but the guy deserves it . You don't know how the guy was looking at you and taking pictures of you , Nick was quite calm because you were standing"
Taking pictures?
I wish Nick wouldn't put himself in trouble
" Let's go have some dessert" Landon told me
we walked to the buffet, and Landon got carrot cake
I got tiramisu
I kept thinking about what I could get for Nick
I saw a mouth dropping strawberry cheesecake
I got one for Nick
" Here you go miss"
" Thank you ver-"
OH
I was surprised by Nick, who was holding my waist
" When did you come?!"
" Just now"
"you should have seen him walking slowly so that he could surprise you" Landon said as he was eating his carrot cake
"Take this" I give Nick his cheesecake
" You got this for me?" He asked
why does he look like a puppy?
" Just eat" I walked and took Landon, and we started walking
Nick was walking behind us with a big smile on his face , eating
" My family are right there , I will go"
" You will leave me ?"
" Stop acting like I'm abandoning you , Landon is here"
" I don't want Landon, I want you"
" That sounds like a you problem"
" By the why , why aren't your parents looking for you ?, you stayed with Nick in the car for about 3 hours" Landon asked
" I bet they even noticed I was missing" I laughed as I looked at the 4 of them
laughing and smiling on the table
My chair was empty
but nobody cared
maybe I'm at fault for not staying with them, that's why they don't care that I left
Would they still be that happy if I never came back
"Lily"
Nick's voice made me snap out of it
" Is something wrong?" He asked
".....No Nick , why would there be something wrong?" I faked a smile as I stared at Nick's dark blue eyes
The twitch in his eyes made me know that he figured me out
I started walking away towards my family
A happy family of 4
I had no place, even if there was an empty seat
" Mom, hi!"
" Lily, your sister got a job !"
" What, that's such good news!"
I hugged Sunny, who was smiling very happily,
" But who gave her the job?" I asked
" Someone I knew give her a job with him"
…..isn't that just a job based on connections?
"Without even an interview ?" i asked
" What do you mean by that Lily !" Sunny shouted at me
"When will you ever be happy for your sisters! I didn't know that you would be jealous of your sisters !"
" I don't mean that it's just wrong. There is someone out there who would work hard for an interview, and you guys"
" Shut up before I slap the words out of you!"
Dad threatened me
" Let's go to eat , you stay here"
I was left at the table seat, and I was comfortable
I liked it
also, the golden colour suited the place
I love it
I
I
Why am I alone?
I feel suffocated
I hate it
I hate it
I felt a drip of water falling on my cheek
I'm crying
in the middle of the event
I should pull myself together and go and apologize
I was wrong
I shoul-
" Sweetheart"
Nick
Nick
"Come" He pulled me, and we ran to the second floor that was empty due to everyone being at the buffet
I was still crying, but he acted like he didn't see me
he took my to The Painting
The Lily Painting
" I saw it"
" I wanted to show it to you again"
I tried wiping the tears off my face, hoping he didn't notice
but I felt his warm hand wiping them for me
I looked away, but he held my chin and pulled me back to him
" Don't turn away from me, please. I'm begging you"
" Nick, I need to go"
" Lily waitt! I….want to be with you….stay with me…..I don't know what happened there but I just know that if you are planning to go back after them….I know I don't deserve someone like you but at least i deserve you more than they will ever will"
He said that, and I don't know what his words had in them. Maybe he made Landon cut onions near us, but I started crying like a hungry baby
Nick held me in his arms and kept patting me
" Lily, please stop, please. I'm begging you, I can't take this"
" Nick, why do I keep messing things up ? Eventually, my parents couldn't handle me anymore"
" Mess me up if you want Lily , It's heaven to be messed up by you"
