She didn't know what went wrong with them. It didn't even pass her mind to care when she answered his call. And even now, as she was standing outside her Texan home, waiting on him, the bubbling excitement was the only thing she was thinking about. Her stomach was in absolute knots.
His car pulled up onto her driveway. He got out, being the perfect gentlemen that he was.
"Hey," his voice sounded warm. It tugged her in the way it used to. She bit her lip and closed her eyes. She had promised herself not to dive back in. She promised herself she would take it slow. "You okay?" She felt him near her. She opened her eyes to find his chocolate orbs staring straight back at her. And within a glimpse of a moment, all her promises were thrown out the window.
"Nick," she breathed. Her old smile fought its way onto her face. She felt her back straighten a little more. Her fingers ran through her hair to make sure her bangs were perfectly placed. Her subconscious was working overtime.
"You ready?" he grinned. He showed his teeth.
"Yeah," she responded eagerly. She took his awaiting hand as they headed towards his car.
He politely opened her door. And she slid in. He made sure he shut the car door carefully and headed toward the driver's seat.
"So, I'm glad we got to do this," he said as he fastened his seatbelt. He smiled at her. She saw him blush. And she swore that things would be different this time around. He was serious about her this time.
"Yeah," her voice sounded soft. She was floating on cloud nine. She knew she lent out forgiveness too easily, but she couldn't help it. He would always be her weakness.
"Its really good seeing you again," he placed his hand delicately on her fingers. The car was moving swiftly through town, but Selena swore that the world had stopped spinning and it was just the two of them.
"It really is," she agreed. He tilted his head and gave her a charming smile. And it surprised even her, how quickly she could fall in love again.
A/N Hopefully this shows how much of a habit Nick was for her.
