Chapter 3 Can't Have the Best of Both Worlds
Fabian's P.O.V.
"Who's Nina?" Joy asked. God, it still rings in my ears. The minute Patricia explained it to her, Joy was stunned. Who could blame her? She thought her and I were going to get together. I thought we were going to get together too.
But then she disappeared, and I had no idea what happened to her. Then Nina came, and she... she was special. It wasn't just her accent or the way she acted, but something about her made me want to be with her constantly. At first I thought it was just because she was interested in finding Joy, but now I know.
It was because I had fallen for Nina Martin.
And this was different from Joy, I felt connected to her. More than any other person in the solar system let alone the planet. I was planning on kissing her, I was going to do something romantic with her, but nothing ever happened. There was always some pathetic reason why, too many people around, always another clue, or I just got to shy or something stupid like that.
There was a knock at the door. "Oi, Fabian!" Mick shouted through the door, "You ready yet mate? The party's started already."
"Yeah," I replied, "just a second." I finished buttoning up my shirt and stepped outside my room. There were a few people wandering around the kitchen. The sound of music was all about me, but not loud enough that I couldn't hear people next to me.
Mick had already wondering off somewhere with Amber and I decided to go find Joy. 'NO! I mean Nina!" a part of me said, "She probably doesn't want to talk to me right now, better go find Joy." Another part said. I tried to block them out and decided to just look for both of them. The kitchen and living room didn't have that many people in them; the majority of the party was focused outside. Jerome was there hitting on girls. It looked like he wasn't doing so well. I went outside and saw both Nina and Joy. They were on opposite sides of the lawn. Nina was getting a drink, while Joy was talking with some old friends, but every now and then I noticed that she would look up and stare at Nina, as if examining her in a petri dish.
I sensed someone come up next to me. "So, which one do you fancy?" Patricia said, leaning against the open doorway.
"Not now, Patricia." I said back to her. Patricia gave a look of disgust at me and turned to survey the party. Things got awkward in the ensuing silence and I'm pretty sure Patricia caused it on purpose.
"So," I started, laughing uneasily, "I bet that it's kind of weird for people here to think that we're having a party for Victor leaving. Though... nobody like him I suppose so I guess they're alright with-"
"Oh save it Fabian!" Patricia interrupted. "Listen, I know that you may have liked Joy. But right now, your future is with Nina, and I think that you should go out with her."
I laughed softly, "I didn't know that you were such a fan of Nina, Patricia."
"Her and I are buds now!" Patricia said, "Best buds even! But I'm a bester-er buds with Joy, and I know that what you might have had with her will not last as long as with what you have with, Nina."
I sighed. this was going to be a weird night, I could tell. "You don't know that Patricia."
"Hmm, trust me.." she said getting close to be ear before whispering, "I know."
"Look I could make due without your love advice Patricia. Maybe you ought to give it to Mara." I said, pointing to our fellow housemate. Mara was looking sad, watching Mick and Amber dance to the music. "Or hey! Maybe even Alfie could do with some!" Alfie was also looking at Mick and Amber dance, but was only interested in Amber, completely ignoring the other girls around him. Why girls were attracted to his ridiculous party outfits, I have never been able to figure out.
Patricia stared at me again, "You can't have the best of both world Fabian, you'll need to decide whose world you want to live in. I've given you my advice, but really, it's up to you. Everybody in Anubis House has an opinion, some want you and Joy and some want you and Nina. Decide tonight. Or else." She smiled at me and walked away. I have to admit, I was concerned about that last sentence.
"Or else what?" I asked as Patricia laughed and smiled. "Or else what?" I asked again, bounding down the front door steps into the party after her.
