I could her the clank of her shoes on the hardwood floor. I didn't want to look up. I couldn't face her after what I just did. God, I can't believe Nick and I let it get that far. I closed my eyes as she walked past my desk and straight into Nick's office. I did not want to see that engagement ring on her finger. On her perfect little finger. I look down at my hands to see guitar calloused fingers. Of course Nick was going to marry her. Why on earth would he pick me over her? I stared at his office door desperately hoping he would break off his engagement and turn to me to confess his undying love. Demi pounded her fists on her desk to get my attention.
"Hmmm?" I answered her desperate call for my attention.
"Selena is trying to hook Joe up with a friend of hers," she whispered across the room.
"How do you know that?" pretending to be involved in this conversation. I know Demi is going through a lot, but I just helped Nick cheat on his fiancé. And not just cheat, I mean REALLY cheat. Demi mouthed "Nick" as Nick's office door opened. Selena pranced into the room and bobbed her head up and down as though she was weighing two choices in her head.
"You," she said as she pointed her delicate fingers at me, flashing her engagement ring in my direction. "You, will help me shop for my wedding dress," she continued. Nick was staring at his interesting shoes at the moment. It was clear that he was trying to avoid eye contact.
"That's not in my job description," I replied. I really did not want to shop for her wedding dress. Maybe if I didn't just have sex with her fiancé, I might have been open to that idea.
"Well, it is now," she said sharply as she turned to give Nick a goodbye kiss. This day could not get any worse. I got up as I followed Selena. I didn't even dare to look at Nick as he awkwardly stood in front of his door watching the two of us exit the office. We got into her car as it pulled up to the curb.
It was mostly a silent ride as I looked out the window of the car. The passing scenery was more interesting then talking about Selena's upcoming wedding.
"I think I want to go classic white," she babbled. She was currently splotching on some lip gloss as she was looking into her compact mirror. She was bundled up in a white coat with a matching hat. Yup, she was perfection all bottled up. "What do you think?" her tone was a little friendlier than before as she turned towards me.
"White sounds good," I replied back. There was an awkward silence before the car halted at a wedding dress boutique.
"Come on, I don't have many friends. Except Nick. Could you just be my friend for today?" she murmured. She looked so vulnerable for a second. All that perfection with a gaping whole of insecurities. I silently nodded.
"Maybe you should try some off white to you know, mix it up a bit." She clapped her hands to let out a squeal, showing her appreciation for my suggestion, and dragged me out of the car. There was already a line of workers waiting for Selena's arrival as she told them exactly what she was picturing for the wedding. As soon as the first material landed in Selena's hands, she darted into the fitting room to try it on.
"Milly, give me the next one!" I heard Selena call from the dressing room. I sat there looking at my surroundings until I realized she was calling me.
"Uh, its Miley. And yeah, just give me a second."
"Whatever, just do it quickly," she snapped. I couldn't believe this was the same person that begged me to be her friend just a few moments ago. I tossed her the next dress. I could hear her zip it up as she gushed out "awws" of approval. She slammed the door open and glided out. "Isn't this just darling?" she exclaimed. She stood in front of the mirrors that were set up around the boutique and started to twirl around. She bounced up and down as she gushed with excitement. "This is the one. Right, Milly?" I rolled my eyes as she made the same mistake twice.
"Yeah, it is," I said, not bothering to correct her this time. She obviously didn't have enough brain space to memorize a simple name. She looked at herself in the mirror obviously enjoying her beauty. She cupped her face and let out a screech of excitement.
"I can't wait till Nick tears this off of me," she exclaimed. All of a sudden her face fell. It was as if she said something wrong. She took a seat next to me and let out a dramatic sigh. "You can't tell this to anyone," she said. I could tell whatever she was thinking about was weighing her down. Does she know that Nick cheated on her? She couldn't have know- she didn't seem angry. What if she knew it was me the whole time? "I'm a virgin," Oh my god, she knows. Wait, what did she just say? She noticed the surprised on my face because she repeated what she had previously said.
"I heard you. Is Nick a virgin too?"I asked. She nodded.
"Yeah. We've been together since we were thirteen," she replied. "He's just never really wanted to do it." Oh my god, that means...I just took away Nick Jonas' virginity. That couldn't have been his first time. "He's always wanted to wait for that special moment, I guess. I don't know, we've never talked about it." She kept thinking for a couple of seconds as I tried to soak in this newly acquired information. I tried to rehash everything that happened last night. I remembered the look in his eyes as he took off my bra. All of sudden I realized that everything we did last night was all new to him. Selena got up as she proceeded to pay for her wedding dress. I buried my head in my hands as I started to get a headache from all the realizations that were hitting me at lightening speed. Selena shook me when she was finished with the payments and dragged me back into the car. I didn't say a word as we got back into the office. Nick came out of his office right as we were walking in. For the first time that day, we made eye contact.
A/N So, I've read the reviews. Most of the concerns were that this might turn into a pregnancy story- its not going to. I never had a pregnancy planned. It would definatley mess up the rest of the story I have planned. So, hopefully this chapter was like a - OMG type of moment. I wanted to give you guys a taste of what Nick is exactly feeling without changing point of views just yet. So obviously, that night between Miley and him means a lot to him. I think for what I have planned this story is going to end in five chapters or so and then I'll take a vote whether or not I should continue it on a different road.
