How do I make the phone ring?
Why do I even care?
How are you all around me when you're not really there?
When you're not really there?
How do I feel you on me when you're not on my skin?
Why do you say you want me, then tell me "I'm not coming in"?
Baby, just come on in
I was currently at the party at the boys house. They’re parties were usually filled with their friends and people who they were cool with. Me and Nick had been feeling weird tension between each other. I did like him but I was unsure of his feelings. I was wearing a white corset top paired with a small black prada bag and along with whitewashed baggy denim trousers.
The party had flashy lights and loud music that he house moved when the bass dropped. The large property rarely had noise complaints and usually fuelled their love for parties more than occasionally. They enjoyed throwing parties because one, they all enjoyed the same type of music, two, they had killer dance battles and three, they could connect with people to make friends or find a possible date at some point.
I had just entered the doors of the party and immediately greeted from zions loud “heyyyyy” with a large smile. I smile and giggle as Edwin adds “hey y/n” and stops the comment to check out the outfit and starts “ayyy, the fit tho” and does a stance where his arms are crossed. Brandon smiles and starts “hey y/n” as nick does the same as I say to both “hey guys, how are ya?”.
'Cause every time I'm with you, I go into a zone
And I remember all the places you wanna go
Take me all the way
Ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it
'Cause every time I see you, I don't wanna behave
I'm tired of being patient, so let's pick up the pace
Take me all the way
Ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it
The party had entered the late hours of the night as more people had attended and the boys all changed their dynamic from before. Zion was now dancing on the kitchen island, Edwin was instagram story-ing several people and commenting on their outfits, Brandon was in a corner with Maggie and some friends and Nick was with his friends as Austin was here with ansley and some close friends days before announcing their newborn, Hudson.
I knew at this moment I had to get ahold of nick just to clear the smoke between our friendship or relationship, whatever you wanna call it. The boys were comfortable with their places as I notice that nick was currently mixing a drink for himself alone in the kitchen, no crowds and no wingman by his side. I walk up to the kitchen thinking of what I’m going to say to say I’m meant to be there and the real reason why I’m there.
The sound of my heels made some turn heads as I reach the destination of the kitchen. I see the bottles of soda to I grab it and reach up at the cabinet to retrieve a glass to hopefully place ice in there if there was any left. Nick turns to me and says “hey y/n, how you feelin tonight?”. I smile at him while multitasking my attention thirds him and my beverage. “Yeah, Good, what about yourself?”. He nods and answers “yeah, I’m pretty good”. I then think fast and say “can I talk to you somewhere where it isn’t as busy?”. He looks a little puzzled and nods with a paired “sure” in high tone, agreeing to my request.
How do you know I'm breathing, when I'm holding my breath?
Why don't we face the danger just for the night and forget?
Baby, let's just forget
Remind me why we're taking a break
It's obviously insane
'Cause we both know what we want
So why don't we fall in love?
Baby, let's fall in love
We now find ourselves in a bedroom upstairs in the boys house, which was nicely furnished and neatly organised. Nick finds a comfortable place for us to talk as we both sit down on a bed type seat. When seated, we are now comfortable as nick looks at me innocently and intrigued to hear what I have to say. I take a deep breath in as what I was about to say was going to be vunrable.
I start “so, I know we’re friends and we’re close it from what I’ve taken, there’s things that hint to maybe liking each other. I don’t wanna make you uncomfortable or be weird after but I like you but whenever it’s like the next move it’s like you need a refresher or scared to go forward”. He looks down as he takes in what I just said as I can tell he is working up a response.
Nick continues the conversation “I know how you feel y/n. I will admit, I do like you but I just feel like if I even try to be normal, all the fans go crazy go stupid-“ as we both silently laugh. “You know, but I don’t mean to hurt you, I really don’t. Just other stuff comes into it but I’m starting to think I should do what I wanna do” as he gives a half smile.
Oh, ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it
Baby, ain't nobody gonna touch it, touch it, touch it
I didn’t wanna come off too foward as I say “so, does this mean we’re gonna try something?” As I accompany this with a smile. He grows a gentle smile as he responds “yeah, let’s do this” as slowly and gently intertwines his fingers and hand with mine and I felt my heart almost skip a beat and butterflies entering my stomach.
While looking at each other, nick then says “people are probably gonna think I’m kidnapped or sumn” as I silently giggle. We stand up and walk towards the main area of the party as some people look to see who it was but when they seen me and nicks face, they just looked away. I was thankful for this as no assumptions were being made.
I smile and make myself known to the environment again as I seperate myself from nick and find some people I know. From time to time, me and nick would casually look at each other and when our pupils caught the others attention, we’d smile as if no one was there. The automatic connection that we felt was new yet comforting, and I couldn’t wait to get used to it from now on.
