See if this was "How I Met Your Mother" I would start this story and tell you about a mistake I did and tell you not to repeat it. But in How I Met Your Mother, the dad never actually tells the kids the bad stuff. Like smoking weed. Eating a sandwich? Seriously? Are you fucking kidding me? Kids need to hear things as they are, so therefore I am not sugar coating this one.
If you attend a wedding and meet your ex-boyfriend there, I suggest to not to take him to another room and have sex with them, because someone might see you. That someone might not let you know that they were there, but the next day when you see a picture of yourself gasping for air while your ex-boyfriend thrusts into you, you most certainly do know that that someone was there. And let me tell you something, that feeling of being betrayed and humiliated is not fun. You do not want to experience that feeling.
Nick's dad called me first. Not that it made things any easier. Can you imagine having that conversation with your ex-boyfriends dad? "Hi there's a picture of you and my son having sex, so now we need to come up with something that will make all of this better." That's actually pretty much what he did say. I'm not even sure if he had asked Nick before he called me. Me and Kevin Senior both knew that I was the expert when it came to handling that kind of crises.
First when I got the call I was confused, I had no idea what was going on. He told me to go online and see the latest news on me. My heart literally skipped a few beats when I saw the picture and tried to come up with something to say, when all I wanted to do was to go to my room and cry my eyes out.
Nothing you go trough your life really prepares you for that moment. And even though most of me just wanted to give up, I knew that something needed to be done. So I packed my stuff and took my car keys and drove first thing to Nick's apartment.
"What are you doing here?" He asked confused as I stood in front his door 20 minutes after ending the call with Kevin Senior.
"Haven't you heard? We're madly in love again, so let's make this convincing." I smiled and pulled him into a deep kiss. I know my kiss came out of blue, but I also knew that paparazzi where everywhere and I knew that there was no way they missed that kiss.
As I pulled away Nick just stared at me with a goofy face for a while, like he was wondering what the kiss was fore. I playfully smacked his chest and walked inside of the house. "Wipe that smile off your face honey, we're in a big mess." I whispered to his ear right when I passed him.
The boy followed me like a small puppy trough the house as I located his kitchen to make me some breakfast. At that moment I felt like I was 15 again, having all that power over Nick felt good, but I knew it wasn't going to last. As soon as Nick knew what this was about he would want to kill me.
I threw my back on the kitchen island and took an apple from the basket on it and sat down.
"So..." I said awkwardly as he eyes me from the other side of the island.
"What's going on Miley?" He asked still confused.
"You haven't been online today?" I asked and looked at the time, almost 1 pm.
"No, I just woke up and all I've done is showered, why?" He asked and I got my phone from my purse and looked for the picture. As I found it I gave my phone to Nick who looked at the picture irritated.
"Why would I need to see a picture of some... wait is that us?" His voice changed from annoyed to confused again as he looked at me with frightened eyes.
"Yup." I nodded and took a bite of my apple.
"This.. this is from last night? This... I can't.. how?" He asked stuttering and I gave a fake smile.
"Well jeez Nick, if I knew I'd be cutting a bitch, not here chitchatting with you." I laughed dryly. And for the last hour Nick would look at the picture every ten minutes and then ask something as stupid. For one hour I let him stay confused, hurt and scared, then I needed to slap some sense to him.
"Nick. Get over it. There's a picture, so what? There's millions alike online. Okay, this was not the career move I was planning for myself, but we need to make the best of this." Nick looked at me like I was crazy and I shook my head. "Of course people are going to look into this, but we were doing it in pretty public place, so its more our own fault than anything." I tried to reason. To this day I still have no idea how I was so calm. Maybe cause I knew it was me and Nick together and for once I wasn't in it alone.
"So what do we do?" Nick asked and I shrugged. "Just act we're in love? Do you think they'll care?" I remember wanting to punch Nick at that moment. What would you think you loved someone who needed to act to be in love with you.
"Act we're in love. I'm spending few days here and then few dates and then we'll wait for it to blow over." I took another bite and let him deal with the fact that he was now stuck with me and once his face looked somewhat normal again. "But I think there's two people we need to explain something first." I gave an actual smile, a sad one, but a smile and got up from my seat. "Ready to go lover?" I offered my hand which he took after debating over it for a few seconds.
That video chat with Justin, Selena, Nick and could be described as one of the most hilarious 10 minutes of my life, or the the most awkward 10 minutes of mu life, I haven't exactly decided that yet.
Nick was glaring at Justin, who was cracking up on the other side of the screen. I tried not to laugh, looking at Nick, who's facial expression was beyond hilarious. Selena on the other hand looked like she might have a stroke. She was looking blankly in front of her and trying to breath steadily.
"You did it, in my wedding." She whispered and I felt bad again.
"Selena.." I sighed and crossed my arms. "It's not like we were planning for it to get out. I never ever though someone took a picture." I said as the horrible idea of someone taking more than a picture entered my mind, but I quickly wiped it away.
"I know, I know.." She said and looked at her hands. "I just never ever thought that the day after my wedding the only pictures on the cover of magazines would be you two getting it in." She winced and looked at Justin, who had calmed down and was now holding his arm around Selena.
"Hey, baby, it's alright." He kissed Selena's cheek and turned to camera. "You two on the other hand need to take it easy on the public display of affection, at least if it's going to be r rated." He shook his finger to us fatherly and I laughed.
"Yeah." Nick said suddenly and took my hand. "We just couldn't stay away from each other anymore, keeping the two of us a secret has been so hard for the past few months." He sighed and I gave him a glare. Lying to our friends was never part of our agreement.
I heard Justin and Selena starting with their surprised comments and I turned to the tv and faked a smile. "I'm so sorry, I'd love to stay here and chat, but obviously me and Nick have a lot to do today." I smiled and said goodbye, turning off the camera and then turning back to Nick.
"What the hell was that?" I glared at him.
"It was me being believable, if they believe us than everyone is going to. Look, I can't let this picture destroy me.." He said steadily and I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever." I muttered and left out the part of this picture being much worse for me than it was for him.
And let's get real, the picture WAS a lot worse for me than for him, but even know, years later, Nick has hard time admitting it. Guess he figured out he was acting like an ass though. I could be ashamed of the fact that there's a picture of and Nick banging, but on the other hand, that's what pushed us back together, so I guess I should just be grateful about it.
Oh wow, look who's updating again. Shitty chapter and I feel like I'm stealing Bec's idea for having this picture, but then again, it's just a small part of this story so Bec don't hate me. Actually Bec you should pretty much love me cause I'm updating stupid chapters and oneshots just because I want to be nice to you and wish you GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINALS :) I luuuv ya.
