💭ALEXIA POV 💭
I sat down staring at the place Nick just stood up from
Knowing that he is going to meet Stella makes me sad
Sighing sadly,I stood and took the tray to the counter and left the cafeteria angrily unknown to me. Dave was watching my every move because he was following me silently
I was about to go to the class when I saw Nick by the garden talking to Stella
Just by looking at him,I knew he was already besotted with her
Who wouldn't? Stella is very beautiful, much more beautiful than an ugly girl like me
I walked on, and instead of going to class,I headed to the rooftop
I was enjoying the peace and quiet when I heard his voice behind me
"I told you this place is only for my use."I turned and found Dave behind me
"I will leave then,"I said, walking past him only for him to pull me back
"I didn't ask you to leave,"he said, staring at me
"Look, Am sorry, I had totally forgot that this place belongs to you but next time,I will surely remember that,now please let go of my hand"I said starring at him and he let go of it
"If your going to look for Nick,I saw him going to through the music room with Stella and if you know your best friend as I do then you must know what he went there to do with her"He taunted softly
Without bothering to give him a reply,I went back to class
What he said kept on bothering me, and Nick made matters worse by not coming back to class with Stella.
As soon as class was over,I received a message from him
"I will be at the school entrance waiting for you,As soon as you are through,Come meet me there,"
I smiled seeing his message,At least he didn't forget that I was still around
Taking my bag pack,I headed to the school entrance and saw him there waiting by the car that brought us
There were times that he tends to be a real jerk, but just looking at him and the way he is,I always find my heart softening towards him
"I thought you had forgotten about me,Since you have been so occupied with your new conquest,"I said
"She is not my new conquest Alexia,Stella is......she is some how different from the rest and you are someone I will never forget,Want to know why"He asked and I nodded gently
"Because you are my best friend,the first girl that has ever been in my life and no matter what,You won't be second best to me,"he said, and that made my heart melt
I gave him a smile, which he returned, and then we both got into the car, and it took us back home.
While I prepared for my part-time work,I kept on remembering his words
"You won't be second best to me." Would he stick to his words
Just knowing that I won't ever be second best in his life made me so very happy.
"Mom,I will be leaving soon,"I said to my mom, who was in the kitchen
"Okay child,May God be with you,"she said quickly, doing a sign of cross on me
I went through the back gate only to see Nick getting into a car,I was about to call him, but it was too late because the car drove off
I went off to work,still feeling happy about what he told me earlier
All through work, I was in a good mood, smiling brightly and being polite to them,Some I even joke around with them
I was still in a good mood when I saw Dave walking into the restaurant
I was still looking at him when he saw me, and I noticed the shocked expression on his face on seeing me
He smiled and walked over to the counter
"Hello sir,what would you like to have?"I asked, being professional
"You wouldn't be bad to have, right?"he asked, giving me a smile
"Pardon?"I asked, pretending not to hear what he just said
"I said I would like to a cup of ice tea,"he replied, changing what he had just said
"If you would just take a seat over there,I will bring it to you,"I said, and he gave me a smile before walking off
DAVE POV
I sat at by the window watching Alexia doing her thing
If she had had nothing with Nick,I would have made her my girl
She might not be beautiful cause of her lack of makeup and all
But deep down, I know that with just a touch of makeup, she will be very beautiful
Some things that that foolish Nick of a guy has failed to notice
Well, it will be a benefit for me because I will get close to Alexia and will be able to help Stella with her revenge while she does with mine
She was the one who had called me and told me to come here and I was surprised when I walked in to see Alexia
I smiled gently,If Stella is planning something, then I think it must be a perfect plan
"Your iced tea,"Alexia voice beside me brought me back to reality
I looked up at her, and I smiled and unwillingly. I found myself staring at her stony, and I wondered what it would be if she smiled, how her stony face would be if she smiled a bit
"Thank you,"I said, and she was about to leave when I pulled her hand
"Why don't you sit with me?"I asked
"As you can see,I am working,"I said
"I will buy your time,Tell me how much it is,"i asked, still holding unto her hand
"It......."
"Wow,it's so good to see you here, Dave."Stella voice stopped her from completing her sentence
We both starred at Stella, who had her arm clutched to Nick
Unwillingly, I found myself staring at Alexia, who was staring at their clutched hand
I starred at Nick, and I saw him staring at our hands
Was he jealous? I thought, and just then, Alexia pulled off her hand, looking guilty
And it was then that I realised that Alexia was in love with Nick
NICK POV
If someone had told me that when I decided to come to this restaurant that I would meet my best friend holding hands with my enemy,I would never have believed
Wanting to help Alexia with publicity in her place of work,I decided to use this restaurant
Only to see her holding hands with the bastard I told her to stay away from
Why is he even here?I thought
"Why don't we just join Dave Nick "Stella said, pulling me to sit down
"You can join us too, Alexia."Dave urged
"Sorry, but I have got to work,"she replied
"Join us, Alexia. It's been so long since we have chatted, Remember how we were best of friends in the middle of which?"Stella said suddenly
I looked at Alexia and saw her staring back,Did these two know each other?........
