FINALE ~ Chapter 26
Selena and Nick stood awkwardly looking at each other in silence for a moment.
“So, how you’ve been?” Nick asked.
“Good.” Selena smiled shyly not really giving Nick any eye contact.
“That’s good.” Nick replied with a slight smile as he stared at her. “Well you look amazing.” Nick added. “Thanks.” Selena blushed. “So do you.” she added finally making eye contact with him.
“Thanks. Are you surprised to see me?”
Selena held up her hand and gestured with her index finger and thumb leaving little space between them indicating she was shocked a little.
Nick chuckled. “Just a little?”
Selena smiled and nodded.
“Well it’s good to see you.” Nick replied.
“Likewise. Did you come alone?”
“Yep.”
“How’s Michelle?”
“She’s good. She’s doing really good actually. Doctor’s said she would never walk, but she ‘s been taking a step here and there, so that is great progress.” Nick smiled.
“That’s awesome.” Selena smiled. She continued, “So I see Jaylen is still crazy about you, huh?”
Nick laughed. “Yeah, Well…I'm still crazy about him.”
Silence fell between them as they looked into each others eyes.
Nick finally broke the ice. “Why do we always do this?”
“Do what?”
“Not know what to say to each other.”
Selena looked down. “I don’t know.”
“I miss you.” Nick blurted out.
Selena quickly looked back up at him in shock. “Really?”
Nick nodded yes.
“Then why haven’t I heard from you? I thought you hated me.”
“Perhaps the same reason why I didn’t hear from you over 3 years ago.”
Selena chuckled as she folded her arms across her chest. “What, you were pregnant for 6 months?”
Nick laughed at Selena’s sarcasm. “No, but seriously, I just needed time, you know?”
Selena’s smile slowly faded.
“I needed to be there for Michelle. She deserved it. I wish her nothing but the best in life. But at the same time…I thought of you every day and every night. It’s like no matter how many times you hurt me or whatever obstacle we go thru…I just seem to fall more and more in love with you. Selena, I’ve loved you since I met you when we were like 11-12 years old. I also realized that... I love Jaylen like he is my own flesh and blood... no matter what.” Nick paused to take a deep breath.
A tear dropped down Selena’s face without warning.
“I don’t want you to feel like you can’t tell me anything. We were friends before…before we were lovers. As friends, we should be able to tell each other any and everything. So…I don’t know if you’re seeing someone right now or not, but... all I know is that... I can’t live without you in my life. Even if we just have to be friends only.” Nick said as he moved a little closer to wipe her tears.
Selena exhaled when he gently touched her face as her tears slowly streamed down her face.
“I never want to see you hurt. I just want you to be happy.” Nick added softly.
Selena touched his hand and pressed her face against his hand closing her eyes. “You have no idea how long I’ve waited to hear those words from you.” She opened her eyes and gazed into his eyes. “Nick, Im sorry about ever hurting you. I never meant to hurt you. I love you. And...I told you I would wait for you. I need you in my life…I want you in my life. I want you…that’s all. Just you.” Selena said as she started to cry.
Nick placed his other hand on the other side of her face and pulled her face into his and tenderly kissed her lips. Their lips softly pressed against each other as if grasping the moment to last for eternity. They ended the long kiss by sealing it with another soft peck on the lips. He then pressed his forehead against hers. With his eyes closed, he whispered, “I love you so much.”
Selena smiled and chuckled. “I love you too.”
Nick continued to press his forehead against hers. He then whispered, “Marry me.”
Selena quietly gasped. She pulled away forcing Nick to open his eyes to see her reaction. She looked into his eyes. “What?” she said softly in disbelief.
“Marry me.” Nick repeated with a smile.
Selena’s eyes danced between Nick’s eyes not sure if she was registering what he was saying.
Nick backed away from her and dug into his pocket and got down on bended knee as he held Selena’s hand.
Selena gasped as she brought her free hand up to her lips in shock. “Nick what are you doing?” she whispered as her heart raced.
Nick opened the box to show Selena a beautiful 14K White Gold 1/2 Carat Leo Diamond engagement ring.
Selena gasped once again. She thought the ring was gorgeous. She looked down at the ring and back into Nick’s eyes repeatedly as more tears streamed down her face.
“I can’t live without you in my life. I don’t want to live without you in my life.... Selena Marie Garcia, will you please marry me?”
“I can’t believe you’re doing this. Are you sure?” She nervously laughed, “I mean, really? Are you serious?” Selena said in shock.
Nick looked down at himself on bended knee and then looked at the ring in his hand that he was presenting to her. He then smiled saying, “Yea, I think Im pretty sure.” He said sarcastically and chuckled. “Is that a yes?”
Selena tearfully laughed with joy. “Oh my God, Yes! YES! Yes, I will marry you!”
Nick smiled extensively as he placed the ring around her finger. Nick stood up and hungrily kissed her lips as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close to him.
He then picked her up off her feet and spun her around.
“I love you, I love you, I love you.” Selena said excitedly as she kissed him multiple times.
Nick smiled. “I love you more.”
“So, how you’ve been?” Nick asked.
“Good.” Selena smiled shyly not really giving Nick any eye contact.
“That’s good.” Nick replied with a slight smile as he stared at her. “Well you look amazing.” Nick added. “Thanks.” Selena blushed. “So do you.” she added finally making eye contact with him.
“Thanks. Are you surprised to see me?”
Selena held up her hand and gestured with her index finger and thumb leaving little space between them indicating she was shocked a little.
