Chapter 6
Friday, June 22nd, 2012
Nina sat in the house, happy that she got the night off of work tonight. She could relax, and catch up on her sleep.
She went onto the couch, and laid down, drifting into a peaceful sleep.
Nina woke up about an hour later, hearing a loud banging noise outside. She quickly got up, and looked out the small crack in the window to investigate. She noticed that two teenagers were in the front of the house, both of them holding up spray-paint cans. They were going to vandalize the place! Nina got scared, and quickly ran to the backdoor.
She opened it quietly, and raced over to Fabian's house. She knew it was late, but she was extremely scared of them. She didn't know who they were. She knocked on his door, not even caring if his Mum opened the door. She could make up a story.
But luckily, Fabian opened the door, wearing his pajamas.
"Nina, what's wrong? It's late…" Fabian whispered.
"People are in the front of my house. They had spray cans but what if they're trying to get in?" Nina asked, panic in her voice. Fabian stepped out of his house, closing the door behind him.
"Why would they be doing that? And they aren't going to hurt you Neens, I won't let that." Fabian whispered, starting to walk to the house. "Stay here, go inside. I'll get them away."
Nina didn't go in, she stayed on the porch. She watched as Fabian stormed over to the two boys in front of the house.
"Excuse me, what are you guys doing?" Fabian said, when he reached the house. The boys turned to face him, dropping their spray cans. "Unless you guys would like me to call the police, I recommend you leave. Now."
The boys exchanged glances, and ran off, grabbing their spray cans before they do. Fabian walked back over to his house, and went back next to Nina.
"They're gone. They were just being dumb. Are you alright?" Fabian asked her.
Nina didn't respond, so Fabian hugged her. She hugged back tightly, not wanting to let go.
"Do you want to stay over again?" Fabian whispered, still hugging her. Nina shook her head, not wanting to intrude. "Would you like me to stay with you?" Nina nodded.
"Okay, let me just tell my Mum that I'm staying at a friend's house. Be back Nina." Fabian said, letting go of her, and went into the house. Nina stayed on the patio, and looked at the sky.
Fabian grabbed a few things, told his Mum he was staying at his neighbor Rodney's house, and went back outside. He smiled at Nina, who smiled slightly back.
"Shall we go?" Fabian asked, and Nina nodded, and they both walked to the house, quietly going in through the back door.
Nina's house was freezing, but Fabian didn't say anything. He was tired, and he was sure Nina was too. And he had brought a sleeping bag, and a few snacks. He knew it would be cold, since it was chilly outside.
"Thanks for staying with me Fabian…" Nina whispered, going into the kitchen to grab a cereal bar, which she had bought with Fabian.
"No problem Nina. But I'm really tired, so I think I'm going to sleep. Unless you want me awake." Fabian replied.
"No, you can sleep. I just didn't want to be alone." Nina said, picking the cereal bar up, but putting it back down. "I'm going to go to sleep too."
Fabian nodded, and put his sleeping bag on the floor, and went into it. Nina got on the couch, and laid down.
"Aren't you cold?" Fabian asked, noticing she didn't have any blankets on.
"No… Maybe…" Nina whispered, already half-asleep.
"Don't you have any blankets?" Fabian asked, trying his best to be polite.
"No, haven't had the money for it yet…" Nina whispered.
Fabian noticed she was shivering, and thought for a second. His sleeping bag was big enough for two… But was it right to ask her that? Though it didn't mean anything. He figured it was better than letting her freeze.
"Neens, why don't you sleep next to me? The sleeping bag will fit us both, and you're obviously cold…" Fabian asked quietly, blushing. He was lucky it was pitch-dark.
"No, it's your sleeping bag…" Nina mumbled, not even commenting on the sleeping together part.
"Nina, please…"
Nina sat up, and went over to where Fabian was lying. He opened up his sleeping bag, and let her get in. She quickly fell asleep, subconsciously snuggling into him. Fabian smiled, still slightly awake, and cautiously put his arm around her. Nina smiled in her sleep, and soon, Fabian was asleep as well.
Nina woke up to the sun shining through the cracked window. She noticed she was snuggled up against Fabian, and his arm was around her. She smiled to herself, but quickly got up. She didn't remember herself doing that. Or Fabian putting his arm around her. She must had done it subconsciously.
Fabian mumbled something, and sat up. He stretched, hitting Nina lightly with his hand.
"Oh! Sorry Nina, forget where I was for a second!" Fabian said, moving his hand from her face. Nina giggled, and blushed a bit, looking down.
Fabian figured Nina woke up, and that she noticed how close they had been. But really, he enjoyed it, he loved being around Nina.
He was pretty sure he was falling for her. Yet he only met her six days ago. But anything could happen.
"So, um, would you like to go to the diner up the road, get some breakfast?" Fabian asked, trying to clear the air of the awkwardness.
"Sure, I did get paid yesterday. Let me change." Nina said, getting up and heading into the bedroom.
Nina didn't have many clothes, she washed them constantly at the laundry mat in town. She didn't have money for new clothes.
She changed into a light cami, and a pair of shorts, and went back to Fabian. He had brought a change of clothes, and he had already changed. He smiled at her, and they both walked out.
"So, do you want to walk, or would you like to take my car?" Fabian asked, as they walked down the driveway, making sure nobody was watching before they did.
"I'd walk, but it's so hot…" Nina said, cracking a smile.
"Okay, let's take my car then."
They both walked over to Fabian's driveway, and got into his car. As soon as she fastened their seatbelts, Fabian started driving.
"Hey Nina?"
"Yeah?"
"About last night…" Fabian blushed slightly at the thought.
"That? Oh, that was just our subconscious minds at work. It was nothing…" Nina said, a bit saddened it was nothing.
"Okay, I was just making sure…"
Nina could have kissed him right then. But he was driving, and it would just be awkward. Only a slight chance that it wouldn't be.
Fabian pulled into the diner parking lot, and parked in a space right next to the diner.
"Great parking." Fabian said, taking off his seat belt and stepping out of the car. Nina got out as well, closing the car door. She had been to this diner before. She loved it, it was such a quaint little place.
They walked into the diner, and sat at one of the booths, both of them on different sides of the table. A waitress handed them both a menu, and walked back towards where the kitchen was.
"So, what are you going to get?" Fabian asked Nina, who was looking through the menu.
"Food. Most defiantly." Nina said, smiling at him.
Fabian laughed, and smiled.
"Okay, what kind of food specifically?"
"Eatable food." Nina said, smiling still, nodding her head.
"What food isn't eatable?"
"I don't know! But whatever. I'm getting the fruit bowl thing." Nina replied, laughing.
Fabian rolled his eyes playfully, and said "I'm going to get bacon, I think."
Nina had never had bacon. Gran had said it was really unhealthy, so she refused to let Nina eat, or even try it. But it seemed like everybody enjoyed it. She sighed.
"Why the sigh?" Fabian questioned.
"My Gran never let me try bacon. She said it was really unhealthy, so I wasn't allowed to have it. Is it any good?"
"It's pretty good, you can have some of mine if you want Nina. They give you a lot here, so I'll have extra."
Nina nodded, and the waitress came over. They ordered their drinks and food, and she went away again. Nina stayed quiet, unsure of what to say.
"So, what's that boarding school you go to like?" Nina asked Fabian, after a long period of awkward silence.
"Oh, I really like it. My friends all go there, it's really nice. But the guy who watches over us is really strange. And old. We think he's a zombie, or a vampire." Fabian said.
"A vampire? Why is he strange?"
"Yeah, since he's really old. And he just is. He makes us go to bed right at ten o'clock. And he has a speech too! 'It's ten o'clock! You have five minutes, until I want to hear a pin drop!'" Fabian said, imitating Victor for his speech.
Nina giggled.
"Nice imitation there. Real nice. So, what kind of friends do you have?" Nina asked.
"I have a few friends there, like Joy, Patricia, and Mick."
"Who are they?" Nina asked curiously.
"Joy is my best friend, well, one of them, we hang out a lot. Patricia is Joy's best friend. And Mick's my best guy friend." Fabian responded, and then thanked the waitress when she dropped their food off.
Nina nodded, and ate a strawberry. She wished they had whip cream. But they might, so Nina decided to call the waitress over. But before she could, Fabian had already called her over.
"Do you have any whip cream?" He asked her, and the waitress nodded politely, and brought a dish of whip cream over, and Fabian handed it to Nina.
"Thanks, how did you know I wanted whip cream?" Nina asked wondrously.
"Well, at the store, you were staring at the strawberries and whip cream for ages, I assumed you liked it." Fabian said, smiling, and eating a piece of his bacon.
Nina nodded, and dipped a strawberry into the whip cream. She popped it into her mouth, and smiled. It was so good.
"So, do you want to try it?" Fabian asked, holding a piece of bacon up. Nina looked up.
"Sure, I guess."
Fabian handed her the bacon, and she took it, thanking him in the process. She took a bite, made a face, and put it down.
"Eww! That's nasty!" Nina said, sipping her drink to get the taste out of her mouth. It was terrible! She thought Fabian said it was good!
Fabian faked gasp, and responded "How do you think this is bad? Bacon is the best food ever!"
Nina rolled her eyes, and bit into a piece of watermelon.
"That's an opinion." Nina remarked, smiling at him.
"Well, an opinion most of the world agrees with."
After eating, Nina and Fabian went over to the park, leaving his car in the parking lot. The park was really close to the diner, so there was no need to drive over. They sat over on a bench, but Nina quickly got bored.
"Can we do something fun? Sitting is quite boring." Nina commented, looking at everybody else there having some sort of fun.
"Like?" Fabian asked, unsure of what they could do.
"Chase me."
Fabian gave her a questionable look, and Nina stood up, and repeated herself.
"Chase me."
Nina ran away, and Fabian chased after her. People were staring, which made Nina laugh. She swiftly moved out of the way of things, while Fabian was behind her, lacking the swiftness.
Nina stopped to take a breath, and screamed when Fabian hugged her from behind. She turned around quickly, and smiled at him.
Just like before, their eyes locked. But this time, it was different.
Fabian kissed her.
Nina didn't expect Fabian to kiss her, but she kissed back, feeling sparks go off just like fireworks. It just seemed right. The kiss was amazing.
Fabian pulled away, and Nina blushed. She looked down at her feet, trying her best to hide it.
"S-Sorry…" Fabian said, unsure if that was the right move. Yes, she kissed back, but he wasn't sure if he should have done that. Did he just mess their relationship up? He liked being friends with Nina.
Nina looked up, and tilted her head.
"Why are you sorry?"
"Because, I just kissed you, and…"
"We could just forget about it maybe?" Nina cut him off. She didn't mean to say that.
"Yeah, sure…" Fabian mumbled, looking at his feet, completely embarrassed of his actions. He should have waited, they didn't know each other enough.
So, Fabian finally kissed Nina, we all knew it would happen. But Nina wants to forget about it apparently. Or does she? Does she have feelings for Fabian? And does Fabian have feelings for Nina? I'm pretty sure it's obvious. You'll have to find out in the next chapter! The next chapter will be dedicated to my 6th reviewer, for the 6th chapter!
