Don't Forget to Take A Breath (Nick & Demi) (Nemi)

Nine

Demi

We ended up just writing songs.. He had the little book and we both were together pouring our souls into the song

It was really amazing how well we clicked with it.. it was overwhelming actually

I stopped writing the lyrics and laid down my head on the bed

- You tired?

I nodded and he stopped playing the guitar for a while

- If you want to, there's a spare bedroom next to mine.. since you live alone, you can sleep here..

- It's okay.. I can still walk.. besides, it's not your obligation to take care of me

He chuckled - I see it more as a friend help

I stood up and smiled - I'll pass.. I'm going home.. it's pretty dark too

He accompanied me downstairs and took my backpack for me.. we both crossed the street and stopped by my front porch

- Is it weird that it didn't felt like a first date at all? - he smiled once I opened my door

- Well.. it is weird.. but it it didn't felt like that to me too..

He leaned on the door a little - I had fun hanging out with you.. you should knock on my door tomorrow.. - he smiled pointing backwards

I laughed and put my backpack inside - Maybe I will.. I mean.. it's not like I have something stopping me

He nodded and bit his lip - Yeah.. huh.. remember the bet?

I smiled and chuckled - You lost

- Nah nah.. it isn't over yet

He pulled my jaw up and put his other hand on my waist.. I felt like the world stopped..

I've never done this in my entire life.. I was about to get my first kiss.. What if he hates it?

I was suddenly so nervous..

- You alright there?

I gulped loudly and pushed him back - Hum.. you shouldn't..

He leaned down and stopped just a few inches apart - Just relax and let yourself go..

Oh shit.. did he noticed?

He finally closed the gap and kissed me softly moving his lips with mine.. I was still so nervous.. I couldn't breathe.. my hands instantly came to his arms and his hand that was in my jaw went down to my waist

He pulled away the and opened his eyes - I like you Demi..

My heart was beating so loudly.. but then I remembered the past

I looked down and pulled myself from him - No.. I did not went through all of that just so you can come and screw everything up again

He frowned - What?

- Goodbye Nick

I slammed the door shut and slid down. Why did I had to remember the heart break?? Why did I had to give in so easily too?

Put up the mask Demi.. before it's to late!!

I ran upstairs and took off my shoes.. after a while of just staring out the window, I got closer to it and looked down seeing Nick at my porch steps.. he had his head in his hands and it made me feel bad

It's the first boy that gave you a chance and you just fuck up Demetria

I took a deep breath and got a paper and pen.. I wrote "I'm sorry" in it and then got closer to the window again

He was no longer there..

~•~

I woke up the next day with my doorbell ringing.. I felt so sleepy..

I slowly got up and it rang again - I AM COMING!! - I shouted loudly

I walked down the stairs and yawned opening the door

I felt a dog coming to my legs so I opened my eyes to see Elvis jumping up and down

Nick passed by me saying "Goodmorning" with a smile

Elvis got in and I closed the door - What are you doing here?

I looked around and heard noises in the kitchen - I'm here to make you breakfast.. you told me you hated cooking last night

Last night.. yeah..

I watched him run around with Elvis behind him..

- Ok STOP!! - I shouted making him turn to me

- I.. I don't want anything okay? You can't just invade my house.. we are friends for a day and you kiss me.. I.. Please understand when I say I don't want any relationship whatsoever.. Stop being nice because, I ain't gonna give you want you want

He bit his lip and came closer to the counter leaning on it - Is that why you ran away? You left me confused as hell.. You think it's going to fast?

- No Nick.. I just.. I can't be in a relationship.. - I said feeling really upset

- Why? You hate me? - he leaned back crossing his arms

I shook my head - No.. it's not that.. I..

- What is it?

I felt the tears rolling down my cheeks.. This was it.. I was going to start crying.. there was no going back

I started crying with my hands in my face and that's when he came to hug me

- What's wrong?

- Me.. - I sobbed

He took a deep breath and kissed the top of my head caressing my back

- Calm down.. it's okay. I didn't want to make you cry.. I'm sorry..

- Don't apologize.. - I sniffed and sobbed - It's not your fault..
