"Babe" nick finished his sentence" did he just say that or am I imagining things.

"Don't call me that" I say not even knowing if he actually said it out loud.

"Why not, babe" he repeated the word.

"Huh babe" I thought out loud as he took the man away in his cuffs.

Thats all I've been able to think of for a while. Him calling me babe. I dont even know why he would its not like ke likes me or something.

I could ask him it would be easy.

But what if he rejects me and work changes we can't be near each other and one of us gets fired cos we can't work properly. Probably me because I know I wouldn't be able to think straight. Nick is my best friend I love him so much. I love him more than a friend if I ruined us I wouldn't be able to work.

But what if he says yes. I take another drink from my bottle of vodka. I sit on the curb on a random street just thinking to myself whats the worst that could happen. He could say no. Our relationship could be ruined.

I decide to call him but he doesn't answer. So I call him again and this time he does. Its nearly 4am the first call probably woke him up.

"Heeeeyyy Nickkk" I say. I'm absolutely mortal. Nothing could sober me up right now.

"Hey Ellie why you calling at 4am? Are you alright?" He questions.

He always seems so worried and protective of me its really sweet

"I'm fine how about you" I reply. He can probably tell im drunk now.

"El are you drunk? Where are you?"

"Yea but its ok I'm on some street like right next to that park near you" I said. I don't even know if that's true I think I'm there.

"OK im coming to pick you up are you sure you're alright?" He's so nice. But I don't want to be picked up not until I know what to do.

"No don't gooooo i want to talk to you nick" I feel like I'm going to regret this in the morning or just not remember any of this at all.

"I'll stay on the phone but I'm still coming to get you El."

"Alrughht" and thats as far as I can remember.

Now I know im waking up in a bed that isn't mine. I think its Nicks. 'OMG WE DIDN'T DID WE" i think to myself. We couldn't though. He wouldn't not when I'm drunk. I get up and he's left me water and aspirin for my head. Still he can only be nice to me.

I walk out of the bedroom and down the stairs. There he is asleep on the sofa. I realise I'm wearing clothes he isn't even sleeping in his bed nothing could have happened. But what if I told him how I felt.

It's still early I the morning and I'm still tired. Without thinking I fall back asleep hugging him.

"Hey babe" I hear just after the alarm on his phone goes off.

I wake up worried. What on earth happened last night.

Seeing the worry on my face he says "you said you love me and I said I live you back but to talk in the morning v because you were drunk"

Tears threaten to fall from my eyes. " you love me too" I say as a single tear falls from my eye.

"Of course I do Ellie i always have"

A/N there is probably so many tylos i this but I'm absolutely fyckibg hammered so just ignore them. HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE.
