Soooo sorry that it has been so since my first chapter "/ I'm horrible…School just has been on my back lately, and I got sick. So I hope you enjoy the chapter!
Nina's POV
"So Fabian, how are we getting there exactly?" I inquired.
"We are walking" he replied with a twinkle in his eye. He began walking away, but I was still rooted in my spot. "It's not that far"he added, continuing to walk away, not noticing that I was no longer next to him. He looked great as I admired his walking form, I quickly snapped out of it.
"Are you crazy?" I yelled. "It's not that far" I mimicked him in my best Fabian voice. He laughed. I guess I still haven't dominated my British accent yet. Oh well! He was cute when he laughed so I let it slide.
"Nina, Nina, Nina! It was a joke" he said walking back towards me. He grabbed my arm and started pulling me away.
"oh...I knew that" I said with a nervous laugh.
"Sure ya did Nina, but back to what we are talking about. We can take the bus or a taxi"
"Well…a taxi costs more money than the bus, so let's take the bus" I said.
"We can take a taxi; I'm the one who wanted to take you out tonight so everything is on me. No buts." I opened my mouth to protest but before any words came out he spoke. "I said no buts!" he smiled hugely. "So taxi?"
"No, let's take the bus; we will have to wait longer for the taxi." We both started walking to where we would go to get on the bus. "You think the bus will be packed?" I wouldn't mind being stuffed close to Fabian. I began smiling at that prospect.
"Naw, not until later at least" he said. He looked so adorable. I could feel the warmth of his body next to me. While walking to the bus stop I turned to him.
"Want to play a game to pass the time until the bus arrives?" I asked.
"Sure" He looked at me with question.
"You know how to play 20 questions right?" he nodded in response. "Well since the bus is scheduled to be here in about 15 minutes, let's play a kind of speed round? 10 questions, sound good?"
"Okay, sounds fun. You go first, ask me anything" I tilted my head and thought what to ask.
"I'm going to be really boring with my first question, what's your favorite color?"
"Blue, you?" his response short and to the point.
"What a creative question" I laughed at him. He put his hand up as if in defense. "Hey! That's not a crime, plus I'm putting this information away for future reference" he said with a smirk.
"Future reference?" what was that supposed to mean. He gave me a wink, and I felt my blush rise to my cheeks. "Now answer my question, I'm absolutely dying with suspense!" he said overdramatically.
"Haha, calm down. My favorite color is purple and blue. Picking just one is too hard!"
"Okay so now I need to ask you another question…hmmm…what to ask, what to ask…" I began to walk back in forth as if it was such a dilemma. "Oh I know! I saw that you had a guitar. How long have you been playing?"
Rubbing the back of his neck, "umm for about 5years or so…he he…I'm not great or anything though" looking down. I put my hand on his shoulder, "I'll be the judge of that, you'll have to play for me sometime." i told him with a smile.
Quickly changing the subject, he asked me "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"I've always wanted to be a writer, I love books. My mom taught me the joys of reading at a very young age." I smiled; I loved looking back on my memories with mom.
"Have you written anything?" he asked. "Heyyyyy! It's my turn!" I smacked his arm lightly.
"Ouch Nina, you're so violent!" he said feigning pain.
"What can I do to make it better?" I asked in mock concern. "That counts as your question by the way" he said with a grin.
With a gasp, "No it doesn't!" "Yes it does, and to answer your question, I think you need to kiss it and make it better"
My face must have looked like a tomato, "umm…uhhh…ssuusuureee thing" I stuttered out. I bent down and kissed his arm. "Why thank you Nurse Martin, my arm feels so much better" I shoved him.
"Your abuse is making me believe you want to keep kissing my injuries" he said wiggling his eye brows.
"Haha Fabian, be quiet!" At that point, I knew that the color on my face could put any tomato to shame. There was a brief awkward silence before he spoke again.
"Favorite food?" he asked. "Mac n Cheese"
"Favorite subject in school?" I asked, "Science of course, when Amber made me burn one of my books I wanted to cry" he said. "You can always buy a new one! Don't worry." I said trying to cheer him up.
"Where did you live in America?" he asked, now that I think of it…No one has asked me that. Strange… "I'm a California girl, beaches and what not"
"How about you, where do you live when you're not here at school" "Cumbria" he said as if it was obvious.
"Yeaaa…don't know where that is." I said dragging out the "yea" for emphasis.
"Maybe over break you can come and see my family's estate" he said.
"Estate, that sounds fancy" I replied. Duh Nina! He goes to a boarding school, obviously he is wealthy, I mean look at Amber! Shaking my head.
"So would you like to come one time?" he asked, his eyes looking hopeful. "I mean you've met my uncle so my family obviously isn't horrible…" he started going off on a tangent…and to him his shoes seemed to become really interesting all of a sudden.
"Haha, yea I would love to. As long as your there it'll be fun" I smiled at him.
"So what is your family like?" I asked. I didn't know much about his family…besides that he has an uncle.
"I have an older brother, his name is Brad. He is currently at Cambridge. My dad works in Parliament. My mum has her own charity. We come from old money so she doesn't really have to work or anything. That's about my family in a nutshell, what about you? But you don't have to answer if you don't want to." He quickly reassured me.
"No, it's fine. My dad was a Real estate agent, exciting I know. My mom was an English teacher, but then became a stay at home mom when I was born. My parents died in a car accident a couple years ago and I went to live with my Gran." He took me in his arms and gave me a big hug. After 5 seconds, I wrapped my arms around him.
"I'm sorry Nina." He said with sympathy.
"Its fine" I said not wanting to hit that land mine at the moment. After a minute or so, although it felt like ages, we broke apart and i asked, "Favorite sport?"
"I like football, I'm not that good…But I do enjoy watching it. Do you have a favorite sport?"
"Is shopping a sport?" I asked impersonating Amber. "haha Nina be serious!"
"Oh fine…I play tennis, and it's also really intense to watch" I said as if trying to convince him it was the best sport ever.
"So going back to what you asked me before…what is your favorite food?" Maybe I could cook for him. The fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach! I smiled internally.
"I'd have to say Fish and Chips…My mum makes the best Fish and Chips, she bakes them instead of frying them, so it is much healthier" I, myself, wasn't very fond of seafood…Bad childhood experience
"Do you like scary movies?" he asked. My face broke into a huge smile. "I absolutely love them! I totally freak out and get scared so easily, but I get such a rush from it all, we should watch one together…unless you're a scaredy cat?" I asked mischievously.
"Ah Nina, there you go again wasting your questions…to answer your question, I do like them. We can rent a movie and watch it sometime"
"I'd like that, very much…When's your birthday?" Maybe it was soon, I could get him a present!
"It's March 14th, and you? I need to know when I should start to find you a present!" Wow, creepy…we were thinking the same thing.
"Mine is April 5th, Darn you're older than me" I began to pout jokingly.
"Haha, oh Nina" he said with a sigh.
"So what are we going to be doing once we get into town?" I said hopefully, maybe he will tell me now…
"It is a surprise, oh look you used all your questions up" he said.
"That's right, you have the last question…make it a good one!" challenging him a little.
"Well we've know-" he was cut off by the arrival of the bus. "well let's go!" I said forgetting about the game. Like a gentleman he helped me onto the bus. He got on right after, and somehow was able to pay for both of our bus fares before I could even move my hand to my bag. The bus was crowded with people. I only could see one seat open.
"Not going to be packed, eh?" I said nudging him. "I'm not a psychic!" he retorted. He placed his hand on my back as he led me to the only open seat. I always felt tingles when he touched me. He motioned me to sit down, but I felt bad that he would have to stand. After a quick dispute, he finally convinced me to sit down. He turned around, and without warning I pulled him into my lap. He landed with an "oomph" sound.
"Whoa!" I hugged him tightly from behind, holding him in my lap. Ignoring the fact that my legs were crushed.
Fabians POV
I can't believe the bus had to come at that exact moment. I helped Nina onto the bus, a very crowded bus that is.
I heard Nina next to me say "Not going to be packed, eh?" she then nudged me.
I replied saying "I'm not a psychic!" I quickly placed my hand on her back moving her towards the only empty seat I could see. Good thing she wasn't looking, it would have been quite embarrassing for her to see my blush. Finally getting Nina to sit in the chair, after much struggle, I turned to look at the other people in the bus. My thoughts were suddenly startled when I felt two arms from behind me pull me down. I let out a "Whoa!" I was stunned.
I felt Nina hugging me, I loved being in an embrace with her. I realized that I was probably killing her legs and stood up. Nina was still attached to me, and I quickly spun her around. She began to protest, but I quickly sat down in the seat and pulled her down onto my own lap.
"Hey! I'm too heavy to sit on you" she said trying to stand up. She began to wiggle on my lap. Nina on my lap caused many around us to send us awkward looks. I held her tighter, trying to get her to stop moving. She finally gave up saying, "You win!"
"Your light as a featha, don't worry about it" I said. I felt like I was on cloud nine. This is the closest we have ever been, and I didn't want to let her go. The bus ride was about 20 minutes, we enjoyed it in silence. Not wanting to disrupt and draw attention to ourselves.
I tangled my fingers with hers, as we began to play almost. I breathed in her scent. She smelt smashing, a mixture of cinnamon and vanilla. Much to my dismay the bus finally stopped at our destination and I reluctantly let Nina stand up. I still had my arms around her as I led her off the bus and onto the streets.
Nina looked up at me, still in my arms. "So where to?"
