Nina's P.O.V
"Who's Fabian?" He asked again.
I wasn't really sure what to answer. I had him on the mind and he wouldn't budge. It feels like I'm falling in love all over again. I stared at Brad blankly.
"I didn't call you Fabian." I tried to worm my way out of it.
"Yes, you did. Nina, who is he?" I sighed, not able to answer.
"Are you cheating on me? Is that it? Oh my god, I can't believe it. I didn't think you were like this."
"I'm not cheating on you! Fabian is my ex, we've been through a lot together and you look exactly like him."
He scoffed. "So, you got with me because I look like him? Wow, that's low."
"That's not the reason! Look, I really like you but I love him…" I paused for a moment before smiling to myself. "I thought I was over him but I'm not. I still love him."
"Well, I won't be second best. This is it, we're over." He walked away from me and I sighed. I felt so guilty. Brad didn't ask for this. On a positive note, I couldn't wait for my shift to end. I wanted to run home and tell Patricia exactly how I felt. She'd be over the moon. Then again, she'd probably slap me and tell me I took my time finding out. Although, tipping jugs of liquid over people is more her thing. Unfortunately, I would know. I still cringe at the thought.
As soon as my shift was over, I called Fabian again. If I was gonna walk home, I'd need the company. Besides, all I wanted to do was talk to him.
"Hello, you've reached the voicemail of Fabian Rutter." I sighed and muttered a few curse words, only to hear a laugh down the phone.
"Wait, are you serious? Fabian!" I laughed.
"How was work?" He asked, making me smile.
"It was pretty good, I had a small argument with a colleague but other than that, it was great."
"I dread to think what it was about." He chuckled. I laughed awkwardly.
"I rejected him, that's all." I lied.
"That's my girl." My smile grew and I shivered.
"Only 5 more days until you're back. Excited?"
"I'm beyond excited! I can't wait to see you all."
"We can't wait to see you either! I feel like it'll be better than before." I stated.
"I hope so! How's every thing going?"
"Good! I've realised a lot. I've realised what I want in life and how I feel. I realised how lucky I am to have you all. Everything we've been through, the Cup of Ankh, Senkhara, almost dying, being cursed, saving the world and eachother. I wouldn't change it for the world. It's made us who we are today. I know you and I haven't seen eye to eye lately but we're getting there. I know eventually we will sort things, I'll make sure of it. We need eachother more than we know. I'm glad to have you in my life. I'm glad you're my friend."
"You know what amazes me?" He asked.
"What?"
"You've helped save the world more than once, yet you still can't drive." He mocked.
"Hey! I told you, I'm impossible!" I laughed.
"You're my impossible girl. You need to learn how to drive."
"I will!" I laughed. The house was in sight and Patricia's car was in the drive.
"I'm gonna have to go, I'll talk later!" I ended the call quickly and rushed inside.
"Patricia, there's something I need to tell you!" I yelled. The sound of footsteps echoed throughout the house and she appeared.
"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" She asked, looking concerned.
"I think you need to sit down…" I decided to go along.
She sat on the sofa and looked me over. "What is it? You're scaring me."
"I found out some dreadful news today. I haven't told anybody, you can't tell the others."
"Nina?" She took my hand and I held back a smile.
"Today, I discovered that I, Nina Martin… am still in love with Fabian."
"NINA!" She jumped up, startling me. "I can't believe it, you scared me!" She paused momentarily before continuing.
"Wait, you still love him? Oh my god, I can't believe it! It's about time. Does he know? What about Brad?" She spat out.
"Brad and I are no longer together. I accidentally called him Fabian. I realised, I wasn't over him." I admitted.
"You're the last one to realise!" She laughed.
"I guess I am. I can't wait to see him. You can't tell him though, you can't tell him I like him still. Things have only started improving with us."
"I won't tell him. Hopefully, you'll mend things. In the mean time, I think we should sort a room out for when he's back?"
"I think that's a great idea." I smile.
I wake up to Patricia's iPad ringing. I glance at the time. 3:26am. I answer and Fabian's face appears on screen. "Is everything okay?" I mumbled, sleepily.
"Did I wake you? Sorry, I forgot about the time difference." He apologised.
"It's okay, I'm sorry I look a mess." He chuckled at my comment.
"You look adorable. How has your night been?"
"It's been good, Patricia and I spent some time together."
"That sounds cool. How's Eddie?"
"Good. Completely forgotten about the whole 'baby' thing." I laughed.
"That's a relief."
Fabian's P.O.V
"That's a relief." I joke.
"It's crazy how things have been the past few weeks. I'm glad it's becoming better now."
"Me too."
My eyes studied her. God, she looked so beautiful. Why did I ever let her go? Nobody could ever compare to her. We were made for eachother. She's my chosen one and I know we were put together and destined to meet for a reason. I'm in love with her. Always have been, always will be.
"What're you thinking about?" She asked.
"How did you know I was thinking?"
"Because you have your thinking face on."
"I have a thinking face?" I asked.
She yawned and nodded in response. I didn't reply immediately, only because I was mustering up the courage to admit my feelings to her.
"Nina, I've been thinking a lot lately. Mostly about you. I miss you, I really do. I miss you being in my arms, I miss your smile, your laugh, I miss your beautiful face. I hate the way things have been between us. We haven't been 'Fabina' as Amber would say. Everything has changed and I hate it. We've been through so much together and all this time being apart, it's helped me realise how much I need you and how stupid I was to break up with you. You're my life, my soulmate, my chosen one. You're all I need. Truth is, I'm madly in love with you. Nothing will ever change that. Maybe we can try things one last time? Give this whole 'relationship thing' another shot?"
I looked up, awaiting an answer only to discover her sleeping. Typical. I run my finger over the screen and whisper. "Goodnight, my beautiful chosen one."
I end the call and get comfortable before drifting off into a deep sleep.
