Chapter 15 You Can Find A Way

Kevin

Nick was busy writing his song and asking me if it was good every minute while I was trying to talk to Macy. She came over a few minutes, mostly to tell Nick how sorry she felt for him. Okay, I'll admit it, I was a little jealous. Come on, who wouldn't be after that bomb Macy had dropped on our date last night. Wow. She hugged him when she first walked in and I felt like I'd explode. Gosh, jealousy sucks. Well, it helped a bit that Nick definitely wasn't interested.

"Kevin, does that sound good?"

"Nick, it always does. Can you please stop bothering me?"

He looked at me evilly:

"Fine. But don't expect me to help you ever again."

I rolled my eyes and sighed :

"Ugh, alright. The other part was better, okay? Can I talk to Macy now? "

"Fine."

I turned around again.

"Hey there, Macy." I smiled.

"Hey, Kevin. Want some coffee? Well you should because I bought you some."

"I guess I do then."

She laughed. The sound of her laughter was like a choir of angels for my ears. Wow, that sounded cheesy. But I preferred it to animal-shaped clouds. I just wanted to ask Macy what her favorite color is when Stella opened the door and shouted: "Oh my God, Nick! I've found a way how you and Delilah don't have to hide your feelings anymore!"

Nick jumped out of the couch:

"Are you serious, Stella?! Oh my God, how?!"

"You guys just have to record a love song together! If you're dating in real life that would be awesome publicity for the song, so I'm pretty sure that her management would love it!"

Nick didn't even reply, all he did was hug Stella so tight that I was actually worried about her. She could hardly breathe anymore. Joe was still joking around:

"Err, Nick? I'd really appreciate if you stopped strangling my girlfriend, okay?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Stella, I'm just so happy and excited! Seriously, I've never felt that way before. I think she could be the one."

Okay, that was enough for me.

"Nick, no offense but... you haven't even been dating her for a whole week so far! Don't you think it's a bit too early to scream from the rooftops that she's the love of your life?"

Okay, I really pissed him off with that.

"I never said anything about screaming from the rooftops, Kevin. Thanks for all your support lately." And bam, he was out the door. Well, I was stupid enough to follow him.

"Nick, is there anything you don't understand about 'no offense'?"

He just kept on walking.

"Nick?"

"I'm not interested in having any kind of conversation with you at the moment."

"Oh come on, that's childish."

He finally stopped walking.

"Fine, maybe I am childish. But you're the perfect adult who needs to save me from myself, huh? I always thought I'm being blamed for being to serious but when I'm trying to be more carefree I'm 'childish' and unrealistic. You know want? Maybe I just don't want to care." He sat down on the stairs.

"Kevin, it's just... she means so much to me. I'm madly in love I suppose."

I sat down next to him and put one hand on his back.

"I know, brother, I know."

"Do you think we're taking it a bit too fast?"

"Oh well...a tiny little bit, to be honest. Why are you wondering about that now?"

He actually looked a bit ashamed when he said: "I told her that I love her yesterday."

Okay, now that was a.... surprise. But a huge one, aha.

"Oh no, you didn't!"

"Oh yeah, I so did. More than my own life, to be exact. And I said that it's impossible for me to get over her."

"Oh, Nick, you really should slow down a bit. Did she say did she loves you, too?"

"Nope, she said that I'd only make it harder for her. Well, that wasn't the best for a situation for an 'I love you, too', you know."

Aww Nick, I'm so hoping that he'll follow my advise.
