Capítulo 6: you are in love?
SIX
He looked around for her.
James felt stranded just like the prince was when Cinderella left the ball party. Only, Cinderella left him her shoe while his didn't.
He got annoyed realizing he didn't even get her contact number.
He looked for Nick and decided to call when he couldn't find him.
"Where are you?" He asked as Nick answered his phone.
"At the party off course...where would I be..in your arms ... bedroom?" Nick sounded drunk as he stammered.
"Just tell me where the hell you are!" James yelled from the other end.
"Chill man. I'm not the one who ran off without saying goodbye. I'm close to the car." Nick replied.
James's heart skipped a bit. 'Had Nick been watching all these while?' relaxed, he continued, "Did you see her?"
"Who?"
"The one I danced with"
"Did you dance? ... With a girl?..who?" Nick asked with an annoying chuckle.
James gave up. Nick must have been so caught up with fun that he failed to notice his Cinderella.
Damnit!
He cut the call angrily.
:::::::::
Due to Nick's drunken state, he ended up sleeping in James' room. James couldn't afford to let his dear friend make a death wish by going home alone. He could have called for his driver though but he just felt it was safer to keep him close at the moment.
James barely got any sleep as his mind thought of Merlin while his eyes sketched her in his head.
To make matters worse, Nick kept on rolling on the bed and making annoying statements. James felt like grilling him.
He let out a painful scoff while glancing at Nick (who was probably having the sweetest dream), "he should be in the guest room. Damn it!" He pushed him to the other side of the bed.
Next morning....
The morning was cold and bright sun rays reflected through the windows. Nick felt it. He felt himself on top of a warm naked body.
"Aww" he yawned, stretching his hands with his eyes shut. He felt a slight pain on his head which was as a result of too much alcohol, "babe have you got any painkillers? I feel like my head would blow" he asked sleepily, shaking his girlfriend.
Something was different, very different. 'aren't girls' figures meant to be soft and curvy?' but definitely the skin he touched was firm and rigid, with muscles and all....
He slowly opened his eyes and almost freaked out.
"Holy moly!" He snapped, pushing James away from him in a turd.
James woke up with a confused look on his face. He looked at Nick while speaking in an agitated tone, "Can't I even get sleep in my own room? I couldn't sleep at night because of you and now that you're awake, you won't also let me sleep?"
"You," Nick pointed at him with raised brows, "what are you talking about? What did you do to me?" Nick had a serious expression on his face. He was scared.
"More like what did you, Nick do to me?" James smirked getting off the bed, a towel around his waist.
"What do you mean?" Nick's brows relaxed. 'what could I have done to the almighty James?... nothing serious'
"You took advantage of my weakness"
At the mention of weakness and advantage, Nick's eyes popped out and his knees turned weak but he wouldn't show his fears. 'I hope we didn't do anything nasty last night....' he gulped.
James laughed, "You wouldn't let me sleep until I touched you." James smirked, remembering pushing him to the end of the bed.
He put his shirt on and walked towards a small wooden desk. He collected a remote from it and clicked a red button, afterwards he typed in a short text and sent the message to Joy.
The word 'touched' tortured Nick. 'I really have to go for cleansing...did he really touch me? Oh no! I quit alcohol'
Nick's eye balls almost fell off its sockets. He gasped for breath.
James noticed his uneasiness and didn't mind. He should at least punish Nick for adding to his insomnia.
"And yes while touching you, you kept on saying things. What was it again?" James scratched his head in pretense as though he was trying to recover a memory. He did push him to the edge of the bed, "Ahhha....yes. It was...hmmm....suck it more babe.....hmmm harder.... that's why I like you, you make the most out of me....."
James's lips curved to a noticeable smirk which gave him away. At once Nick knew he was lying.
"You jerk!" He yelled, throwing a pillow forcefully at him.
James caught it, "well, you did utter those words. You're lucky, I'm not gay else you wouldn't have survived last night," He laughed.
"Whatever!" He felt relieved that it was just a joke. 'what an expensive joke. But how could I have thought something did happen? Weird'
Getting off the bed, he zipped his trouser, "I just need some pills, my head aches." He replied, looking around the room.
Just then the door opened for Joy to come in. She bowed at the two men and turned to leave when she noticed James was on a towel and Nick shirtless.
"Are you just going to leave after I sent the text?" James stopped her from leaving with a question.
"No...I think you guys aren't ready so I was just...." she stuttered avoiding contact with the two handsome men.
"It's fine" Nick assured her, "Just give me the tea already" He stretched his hand to receive the liquid.
"Herbal tea." she announced, "to help subdue the alcohol you took. It was way too much." She said again looking directly at Nick this time.
Nick felt embarrassed as he collected the drink from her, "Was I that drunk?"
"Yes. You almost kissed her." James replied, getting paracetamol from the first aid kit.
Joy's cheek turned red. Nick flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm really sorry." He apologized, face down, "I wonder what else I did?"
"Well, you also..." James stopped and then laughed. He enjoyed toiling with Nick. He knew Nick couldn't stand being embarrassed in front of people, girls especially.
Joy chuckled. "It's fine. I don't mind. What would you like for breakfast?"
"Anything." James replied.
"You." Nick replied.
All eyes fell on him. Joy excused herself, hiding her burning face as she left the room with a racing heart. 'Nick's a flirt.'
"If you like her, go for her. I don't like you flirting around her," James warned him with a not so serious face.
"Mind your business," Nick mimicked his voice.
James shook his head at him and entered the bathroom. He can never get enough of Nick's troubles.
Soon he heard loud music from inside,
"Nick!!!"
"Fuck y'ass. This place is too calm." Nick shouted back.
"VIDA, deactivate music," James commanded.
"VIDA, Don't!" Nick countered.
::::::::::
Since it was the weekend, the duo stayed home. Nick got bored and suggested they go out.
They did try out some games but James seemed distracted and that made him lose focus. Nick got fed up.
"We can't just sit like this all day with you in that mood. I don't even know the girl in question." Nick blurted out angrily.
"Her name is Merlin," he repeated for like the 20th time but Nick didn't give a damn.
"Like I care. Seriously? One night and all these?" Nick asked in a disappointed tone.
"I just miss her. I want her." James replied back.
"This is serious. You said you won't date for the next 4 years and now you are craving for a girl you met once. Unbelievable!" Nick pondered around the sitting room.
"There's something about her. Since last night I just can't forget her face. She keeps appearing. I know she's the one." James said as he slumped on the couch.
"This is obsession. I just think you're sexually frustrated. One night with her and all this is over." Nick advised him.
"Obsession or not, I want her. Just meet her and -"
"Says the one who didn't like the idea of clubbing. I know I flirt with girls but falling in love in one day is bad. Bad for you." Nick assured him, returning to his seat with a sharp gesture.
"Who says I'm in love?" James queried, surprised.
"If not love, then what? Just be careful." Nick answered eyes on his phone.
James leaned forward, a gesture he used whenever he wanted to say something important, "Can we visit the club house?"
Nick lifted his face with his furrowed eyes leaving his phone to look at James. He wanted to be sure he heard him well, James must be under a spell, "Club house? Don't you hate clubs?"
"I can do anything for her. Let's go there." James replied. Nick was astonished.
"My man is in love." He smiled, "When?"
"Tonight. I have a feeling I would see her,"
'Is he that desperate?' their eyes locked and Nick nodded.
"Too bad you didn't get her number. But all these are really sudden, I hope she doesn't create a scandal like your ex."
