Nina's POV
I woke up pretty early in the morning. The room was completely black but I could see dim light coming through the windows. I felt really uncomfortable. My bed felt heavy.
I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I turned my head and I could barely see the face of the person next to me. And then I remembered what happened last night.
I moved Eddie's arm off of me and sat up. I looked over at Fabians side of the room to see if I could see his clock. 5:42. I crawled over Eddie and went up to my room. I changed out of the dress and put my pajamas on.
Eddie's POV
I woke up at 7 o' clock and didnt see Nina next to me. I guess it was just a dream? A really good dream.
It was Saturday morning and for some reason these Brits are never awake at this time on the weekend. Back home in America I would sleep until 2pm.
I tried to go back to sleep but after a few minutes I gave up. I went to the kitchen to get the pancakes I never got. When I walked into the dining room I was surprised to Nina sitting at the table.
"Hey? What are you doing up so early?"
She quickly looked up at me.
"Couldnt sleep."
"Me either."
"...Listen,Eddie,about last night,-"
Last night? So it wasnt a dream? "Nina, if you want to pretend it never happened im okay with it."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
She smiled and looked down.
Nina's POV
Eddie had just said we could forget about last night. But I didnt want to forget? I wanted to remember and I dont know why? Before yesterday I barely talked to him.
Twenty minutes passed and Eddie and I havent said anything else to each other. If there was a record for longest awkward silence, I think we just broke it? I didnt like all this silence so I started talking.
"I know I said I would forget about it but theres one thing I want to know."
"What?"
"Why did you stop? You pulled away but you looked upset when you did?"
"I could feel you trying to pull away. But for some reason you didnt? So I did it for you. I didnt want you to do something you didnt want to do."
Wow? He sounded honest? And like he cared? It was sweet. I stood up and walked to the other side of the table and sat next to him. "If I didnt want to kiss you, I would've pulled away like I did the first time."
"So you wanted to kiss me?"
"No. But when you kissed me and I pulled away, thats when I did. It felt like you put me under some spell."
"And are you still?"
I shook my head. "No."
Eddie's POV
No? She comes over here and makes me think she likes me and that she's gonna kiss me again, and then she says no? Boy is she great at leading someone on. She walked back to her seat and another awkward silence filled the air. Until we heard a scream. I looked towards the door and saw standing there covering her mouth. "Nina!"
She ran up to Nina, quickly sat next to her, and hugged her. By the way Nina's eyes widened I could tell it was a tight hug.
"I was so scared! I thought our dream came true and you fell down the you know what?" It was hard to hear what she was saying because she was crying. I forgot to ask Nina what they were talking about last night?
"Im fine Amber! But please let go! I cant breathe!"
"Sorry!"
Nina breathed in as if she died and came back to life and it was her first breath. But it didnt even look like Amber moved?
"Thank you."
"I was so scared!"
"You just said that?"
"Only because it was true! So where were you last night? Fabian and I looked everywhere?"
"I was, busy." She quickly glanced at me. Fast enough so that Amber couldnt see.
I didnt want to be around Nina right now. Not when I think I might be in love with her.
