Chapter 12 A Short Romance

Nicole was waiting anxiously in her room for Brandon to come, every few seconds she would look at the clock and prayed that time would move faster.

Nicole was staring out of her window hoping to catch a glimpse of Brandon walking towards her home, but instead she saw something else, a girl with long bluish blackish hair was staring at her from the garden path, Nicole nervously looked down at her she was scaring her, the girl gave Stella an evil smile and then as if by magic she disappeared.

Nicole was so freaked out by the girl she didn't realize that the doorbell had been ringing for a few seconds now.

"Oh God" Nicole gasped as she raced down the stairs, when she reached the bottom she ran her fingers through her hair just to make sure that it was perfect and she answered the door, there stood Brandon giving Nicole a smile that made her legs weak.

'Oh I forgot how cute he is' Nicole thought giving Brandon a smile back.

"Hey Nicole, so are you ready to go?" Brandon asked.

"Sure" Nicole said closing the door behind her.

They both walked down the road and they both had thoughts flying through their minds, Brandon really wanted to tell Nicole who she really was and Nicole wanted this date to be her first kiss with Brandon, with him it made her feel as if she could remember who she was.

But her mind kept drifting back to the girl who was watching her, she made Nicole feel a bit cold and as if she knew her but not from a pleasant memory.

"You ok Nicole, You're not saying much" Brandon said stirring Nicole out of her thoughts.

"Wha…Oh yeah I'm fine" She said giving Brandon a sweet smile, "Just thinking".

"Really, what about" Brandon asked.

Nicole bit her lip, "No don't worry" She said quickly.

"Ok" Brandon muttered, he took Nicole back to the café they went yesterday but she didn't seem herself.

"Are you sure you're ok" Brandon asked, "You're not the same person as yesterday".

"You're right, I'm not" Nicole muttered staring at the floor.

Brandon froze at her last words, she's not the same person, maybe she figured out who she was, "What do you mean?" Brandon said.

"Well…"Nicole hesitated, "Ok you're going to think that I'm really weird but today before you came, their was this girl outside and she looked at me and it felt like I knew her, but not as a friend more like an enemy" She said.

Brandon listened to this, "What did she look like?" he asked.

"She had these ice cold eyes and long dark bluish, blackish hair" Nicole explained.

'Chimera' Brandon thought, he clenched his fists every time he thought about her.

"Anyway I she just gave me this feeling and I thought maybe she was linked to my past" Nicole continued, "Maybe I should find her and ask her if she knows me".

"NO" Brandon quickly said making Nicole jump, she looked at him with a worried expression on her face.

"What I mean is" Brandon said trying to cover up what he just said, "Maybe you should leave her, she could be anyone".

"Um…ok" Nicole said a little worried, "Do you know the girl I'm talking about?"

Brandon gave a slight nod, "Yeah, she's bad news. I've heard that she hurts people that didn't do anything to her and when I man hurt I mean physically" He told Nicole.

Nicole bit her lip, "Do you think she'll come for me"? Nicole asked.

"No of course not, and if she does you have me now" Brandon said, "I'll protect you".

Nicole blushed crimson, Brandon spotted Nicole's hand lying quite close to his, he reached his own hand out and held it, this made Nicole blush even more.

Brandon looked up into Nicole's eyes, he forgot how much he loved Stella and now that she was Nicole it was as if he was falling in love with her all over again.

Nicole looked at Brandon's hand on top her hers and this made her feel warm, for once in her empty life she felt as if she was finally with someone she loved, hang on. Love?

'Love' Nicole thought, yes she could admit that she had a crush on Brandon but she never would of guessed that it would turn to love, he was only here for a few weeks and soon he would be back to school and she would never see him again, this was a short romance nothing more, but she wanted it to be the first and best relationship of her life.

"What do you say about leaving here and going someplace else" Brandon said, Nicole gave a small nod and they both left.

Brandon checked his watch, the afternoon was slowly becoming evening, "Come on" he said leading Nicole away.

"Where are we going?" Nicole asked as Brandon took her hand.

"You'll see" Was his only answer.

Brandon led Nicole to a small garden that looked out onto a river, close by the edge was a small bench, Brandon took Nicole over to the bench and they both sat down on it.

"They say tat this is the best place to watch the sunset" Brandon said softly.

"Really says who?" Asked Nicole.

"People" Brandon answered.

Nicole gave a small giggle as she looked out towards the sun.

"Wow" She whispered as she watched the sun slowly go down.

"Its amazing isn't it" Brandon said slowly placing his hand on top of Nicole's again.

"Breathtaking".

Nicole nervously shifted in her seat, she could tell that Brandon wanted to move on with her but she was quite nervous about it.

"Take it slowly" She told herself as she slowly leaned her head on his shoulder, now she felt a bit more comfortable.

Brandon smiled as he felt Nicole's head on his shoulder, it felt just like old times when she knew who she was, maybe with a little bit of patience they could do this again only Nicole would be Stella.

"Brandon have you ever fallen in love with anyone?" Nicole whispered, shifting a bit closer to his body.

"Not until I met you" Brandon replied.

"And what do you mean by that?"

"I mean that you, Nicole, have to be the most amazing girl I have ever met" Brandon murmured.

"You're the only guy I know, well I only know you but you have to be the sweetest man alive" Nicole said moving her face close to his.

Brandon brought up his other hand and caressed Nicole's cheek, "Well then I guess its ok to say that I love you Nicole and I always will" He said as he leaned in and kissed her lips, at that moment the sun had finally gone down and the moon was now shining in the dark sky.

Nicole's eyes widened, Brandon just said that he loved her, this seemed all too fast but still it felt great, they had only known each other for a few days but still it felt like they had known each other for eternity.

They slowly pulled away, "I guess its ok to say that I love you too" Nicole whispered leaning up and kissing Brandon's cheek.

"Wow" Nicole muttered, "times gone really fast, Jenny's expecting me back now" She said.

"Come on" Brandon said, "I'll take you back".

Nicole nodded as she got up from the bench and still holding hands they walked back to Nicole's home.

"Well I guess it's goodbye now" Brandon said as they reached the house, "I'll see you again sometime".

"Defiantly" Nicole said as Brandon gave her one last kiss before walking down the road back to Bloom's home.

Nicole slowly walked into her house with a huge smile plastered on her face, as soon as she closed the door she leant on it and sunk down into the ground giggling to herself.

Jenny walked out of the kitchen to see the giggling girl, "Date went well I take it" She said.

"Brilliantly" Nicole replied.

Well that went quite well, anyway review and i promise iw ill update sooner then i have been.
