SECRET LOVERS
Chapter 9: Out of the blue, can this be true?
NO ONE'S POV
It was a rainy day. Miley and Nick were snuggled to each other on the couch. The site of her stitch wasn't that hurt anymore, but she still had to make sure that it won't get cut open, infected, or anything else.
He was by her side, keeping her company, holding her, kissing her occasionally, and caressing her hair, while watching a marathon of a drama show.
"I killed my baby," she whispered out of the blue.
He felt his heart break at her words. He gently moved and made her look into his eyes. "You didn't, Mi. Your pregnancy wasn't normal. You could have died with your baby!"
She started crying and he was quick to comfort her. Few minutes later, she wiped her eyes and sighed. "I know. I just feel sorry for him. He was just little, and even though I hate his dad, he's still mine," she explained.
He didn't stop her from ranting; he let her express her emotions, her thoughts, and her devastation. He knew that it's the only way that she'll feel better. "I know, baby. Let's just pray that he'll be in a happy place, okay?" he said as he rubbed her arm gently to calm her.
She smiled when she felt his warm lips on her cheek. "He's going to be my baby angel," she said as she smiled in realization.
"He is, and if it makes you feel better, even if you are still pregnant now, I would still take you back, and I'll treat your baby like my own," he said, trying to cheer her up. He didn't do that just to make her feel better, but also because he really meant it.
Miley silently sighed as she fell in the comfort of his arms. "You're too sweet."
"But it's true."
"I love you. I really do," she said as she looked up to him.
Nick placed a sweet kiss on her lips and murmured, "I love you too."
Miley woke up and didn't find Nick by her side. She slowly sat up and looked around the room, and then she heard Nick's low voice from the bathroom which was slightly opened. She didn't mean to do it, but she listened out of curiosity.
Nick sighed as he thought of an alibi. He was inside the bathroom, talking to Delta in his phone.
"Nick?" Delta called out, making sure he's still on the line.
"I know, I'm sorry, but Miley needs her friends right now. If it's okay with you, I would like to help her get through this. She's really a mess right now," he explained. Well, it's not basically a lie.
They talked for a while and tried to convince her, and he won. "Oh, thank you. Ok, I'll call you later," he said happily before he hung up. Delta was okay with it, so it's all good.
Miley heard the things Nick told Delta, but she had decided to let it pass for now. The last thing she wanted is to have a fight with Nick.
"Nick?" she called out.
He instantly heard her, so he went towards her in a heartbeat, thinking she might be hurt or something. He found her sitting on top of the bed, and he walked towards her and took her in his arms. "Mi? Are you okay?" he said as he caressed her hair tenderly.
She leaned onto his touch and sighed in glee. "I'm just kinda sore and I'm hungry. Do you think you could cook me some food?" she asked with a sweet smile.
Of course, how can he reject that adorable smile of hers? "Of course, baby! What do you want?" he asked while holding her hand softly.
"Anything you cook would be great," she said as she placed a kiss on his lips.
He grinned and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Ok, are you going to be fine here? Do you want me to take you downstairs?"
"Yeah, please take me with you," she softly requested as she snuggled to his chest.
"Okay, baby." He picked her up and carried her out of the bed, and brought her towards the living room.
"Oh my God, it's delicious," Miley said with her mouth full. Nick had cooked them dinner, and Miley loved it.
"Really?" he said as he tasted his own cooked meal.
"You're such a good cook. I could marry you," she teased.
He pouted at her. "You're only going to marry me because you like my cooking skills?" he asked dramatically.
She chuckled adorably and she felt so comfortable talking to him about marriage. "Oh don't be dramatic, Nick," she said before giving him a smirk. She would marry him in a heartbeat.
Miley and Nick were sitting next to each other on her bed with his arms wrapped around her as they watched Titanic. Nick's phone rang, and Miley saw him ignore the call. She was about to ask who that was, but his movements were quick; he immediately brought his hand to the side of her face and kissed her passionately, using his charm to silence her.
Nick's phone rang again and Miley noticed it. She was able to resist his kisses this time."Baby, your phone is ringing," she said when she pulled away from the kiss.
"Oh." He sighed and grabbed his phone to ignore the call and put it to silent mode. He placed his phone back on top of the side table and went back to making out with Miley hungrily.
She gave in quickly, but pulled away from the kiss after a moment. "Why didn't you answer her?" she asked. She knew it was Delta; she could feel it.
He sighed tiredly and kept her close to him. "I just don't want to talk to her right now and lie. It's better to avoid her than to add some more lies in my pile of lies."
"Is she mad?"
"No, she's in Australia right now, but I know she's seen the pictures of me and you outside the hospital, and I admitted that I am helping you, but she isn't mad."
"So what's the problem?" she asked confusedly.
He shrugged and shook his head. "She's too good. It's okay that I'm here helping you, as long as I tell her."
She moved away from him and held his hand instead. "She seems like a nice person."
"She is."
"I love you, Nick. I really do," she said as she looked up to his chocolate brown eyes.
He looked back in her blue eyes and caressed her cheek gently. "I know that, and I love you too."
She took a deep breath and she placed her other hand on top of their joined ones. "But I think we should stop being in this relationship," she said with a low voice, unsure of her words.
His eyes got wide and he got real confused than ever. "What? Why?" He couldn't believe that she's giving up; that she's breaking up with him after all they have been through.
She tried her best to gather her thoughts and explain her sudden decision. "I don't want anyone to get hurt. It's not right, Nick. She's nice, and we can't just betray her. I know that your career is important to you, but I really don't want to get other people get involved with this mess. I know what it felt to be cheated on, and even though I never loved Liam the way I loved you, it still hurt when I saw him with that girl," she explained, trying to make him understand her thoughts.
He couldn't agree. He loves her so much that he can't bear to lose her again and let her fall in the wrong hands. He couldn't let that happen. "Mi... Don't do this," he said, trying to convince her to stop whatever she's doing that might tear them apart forever.
She sighed. It's the only way she could think of. She doesn't want anyone to get hurt. She loves him so much, but she just wanted what's best and right. "Nick, we have to. Until then, we're going to be friends only."
"No..." he protested, not believing what was happening.
"Just go, Nick," she whispered. She couldn't yell at him; she doesn't have the heart to do that to him.
"Mi..." he begged as he held her hand dearly and kissed it.
"Please?" She asked with wide puppy dog eyes and serious facial expression.
He sighed when he noticed her serious expression that meant she had really decided and she's going to keep it. "But I can't leave you here alone. You can barely walk," he argued.
"I'll call mom to come pick me up," she argued.
He shook his head in disappointment. He couldn't understand why she was acting like that. They both know what happened when he left her, and he doesn't want anything bad happen to her ever again. "I can't leave you. I know you need me."
She gave him the most sympathetic look she could ever give. "I do, but we can't be together yet. Just fix things first, Nick. It's okay if you choose her. I know how important your career is to you," she said sincerely.
He sighed and wrapped his arms around her. She leaned on him lovingly and he kissed her lips softly.
"Let me drive you to your parents' house," he said in defeat.
She, in return, smiled at him sweetly and kissed his cheek. "That's fine."
He looked in her eyes deeply and caressed the side of her face. "I promise, ill fix everything and we're going to be together."
She just nodded and let him bring her upstairs to her room so they could pack some of her necessities. That was the most hard break-up they have ever done, knowing how much they love each other, and how much trouble they would go through, just to prove it.
Miley was feeling lonely in her own wing at her parent's house. Nick had driven her there a few hours ago, and he left swiftly without even saying goodbye. It was too hard for him to say goodbye. While she was busy occupied with her deep thoughts, her phone rang and she answered it; it was Demi.
"Miles! I'm here outside your house; could you open the gate for me?" Demi asked.
"Demz, I'm here at my parents' house," Miley answered.
"Oh, I thought you're alone, so I wanted to keep you company. I'll drive there, then."
Miley smiled. She really needed her best friend right now. "Kay," she muttered before Demi hung up.
"So, Nick told you?" Miley asked as she opened the door to her room, and Demi walked in. Demi just got there. She got a call from Nick earlier; he asked her to keep Miley in company because he had to settle some business.
"Yeah. Actually, he sent me here," Demi said as she plopped down on the bed.
"Is he okay?" Miley asked with the worried tone in her voice.
"Yeah, he's going to Australia, though. Delta's there."
"Oh." Miley bit her lip and tried to hold back her tears. She should have seen that coming. She was the one who broke up with him, so it's partly her fault why he's going to Australia.
"He really loves you, Mi."
"I know, but his career is top priority. We'll be together again someday, if it's meant to be. Now is not the right time."
"Absolutely, so... What movie are we gonna watch? I got some cupcakes, by the way," Demi said, trying to cheer her best friend up.
Miley smiled and shook her head in fascination. "You so get me."
Demi spent the night with Miley and they had a sleep over. The best friends watched movies and YouTube videos together. They treated themselves with their traditional beauty ministrations before going to bed.
Demi had to leave around two in the afternoon on the next day, so Miley was left alone again. She would occasionally come out of her room to hang out with her mom in the main house, but Tish had to work too, so Miley was still left alone during day hours, with only their maids to assist her whenever she needed something. She spent the night cuddling with her mother, though. They had a nice mother-daughter night, and Miley opened up to her mom and told her about her relationship with Nick. Tish understood her and told her that what she did was the best for them.
Miley tried to entertain herself the next day, so she tried to write songs and play guitar the whole day; that kept her sane, so it's cool. Her mom offered to hang out with her that night, but she knew that her dad was coming home that night, and she didn't want to take away the time that her parents could bond, so she slept alone in her room. Her cell phone rang around two in the morning. She grumpily reached for it on her side table, and read the caller ID; it was Nick. Not thinking straight, she answered it right away.
"Nick? What's wrong? It's two in the morning," she said softly. She was too sleepy to argue with him.
He chuckled and breathed out soundly. "Look out your window."
Miley was confused, but she slowly got up and wore her robe around her body, before walking over to where her windows were. She opened the curtain and her heart soared when she saw Nick outside, holding a bouquet of beautiful pink carnations and a banner that says, "Forgive me?"
She happily walked towards her door and opened it, revealing her prince charming. She was really confused, but she let him wrap his arms around her tightly. He missed her so much. "Oh my God. What are you doing here? I thought you're in Australia," she said.
Nick pulled back and took in her appearance. She looked really sleepy and beautiful at the same time. "Well, not anymore," he said with a beautiful smirk. He then grabbed her by the waist again, and pressed his lips on hers. His tongue swiped softly on her lower lip, and she granted him entrance. She was feeling too thrilled to even question him and protest. She gave into his charms quickly, and responded to his kisses until their tongues mingled in delight.
"Nick, stop," she said with all the energy in her; it was hard to stop but she used all her might to do so. She pushed him away lightly, but he still kept his arms wrapped around her waist. "I told you that I won't get back with you. You're with Delta," she reminded.
"I broke up with her. It went well; she told me that you and I are meant to be together. She had realized it when she saw us at our family dinner," she said as he caressed the side of her face with his hand. "I didn't admit that I was dating you when I was with her, but she knew all along that were still in love. She wants us to be happy," he said sincerely.
It was overwhelming. She didn't expect that it would happen soon, but she was thankful. She believed him, but she was still confused. "Really? What about your career?" she finally asked when she got the courage to speak.
He smiled sweetly at her, as she cupped her cheeks with both of his hands. "You're my number one priority, Mi. My career will be fine," he said before giving her a peck on the lips. "Delta and I are still friends. Is that okay with you?" he asked sincerely.
She nodded and smiled in fascination. She still couldn't believe everything that just happened. "Of course! Now where were we?" she asked teasingly, touching the collar of his shirt with her fingers.
He smirked in return. "Are you sure we still can't…" he trailed off as he placed his hand over the covered scar she got from her miscarriage.
"Yeah, but we could fool around a bit," she teased and bit her lip in excitement.
His eye brows furrowed and he gave her his best sad look. "Only a bit?"
Miley chuckled at his adorableness. "Ok, stop it, let's get started."
Nick swept her off the ground and into his arms, and he linked his lips on hers as he made his way to the bed.
