A/N: This is just a thing that I wrote just for pure fun. It’s hard to explain really because I don’t know whether to class it as a short story or something…For a few years I have contemplating on how would it feel if a guy knows this girl for a few years and both of them are with different people. What happens if the guy develops feelings for his girl friend and can never find it in his heart to admit that he loves her? And within three days all of this can change, turning their world upside down Well that is what is going on in this – enjoy!
It was an exceptional lovely day in the Evan’s household in Los Angeles, America. The sun was shining and there was a light breeze in the air. Everything seemed perfect and serene. Jay and his nine year old son Adrian were watching their all time favourite show Desmonds on TV in the comfort of their large, attractive living room. Meanwhile Jay’s wife Helene was in the kitchen, preparing the most delicious ham and tomato rolls, humming a tune gently under her breath. Both their daughters were elsewhere in the house, just relaxing. Sixteen year old Leona was soaking up the sun in her bikini, reading gossip and celeb magazines while listening to R Kelly on her iPod, Upstairs in her room eighteen year old Nicola started to get change. Ten minutes ago she had just arrived home from her fencing class. Nicola pulled a T-shirt over her head and as she was putting on her jeans, the phone starting ringing from downstairs.
“Hey, is someone going to get that?” she shouted down, trying to attract their attention.
Silence only answered her. Nicola sighed loudly while she managed to do the button on her jeans. Her family was too engrossed in what ever the hell they were doing not to notice the phone ringing. Either that or they were just plain dumb.
Nicola stormed out of her room, walking down the stairs while muttering, “Fuck! I suppose I have to answer the phone…”
In less than a few seconds she reached the foot of the stairs. Nicola reached out a hand, grabbing the still ringing cordless phone and answered it.
“Hello.”
The voice at the other end of the line started to speak. “Heya Nic! It’s me…”
Suddenly Nicola sat down on the bottom step, smiling happily to herself. Ryan! She could feel her heart skipping loudly in her ears as she recognised the warmth in his deep voice. Ryan Quinn was the hottest boy that ever walked into her life. He was two years older than her and he was working at his uncle’s law firm as a junior barrister. They had met each other through Ryan’s older sister Natasha at a party two years ago and ever since that moment she developed such a huge crush on him.
“Oh hi Ryan!” There was no doubt that Nicola was pleased to hear from him. The last time they spoke to one another was three or four days ago. “God, I haven’t heard from you since we bumped in each other in the mall the other day.”
“Yeah, it’s been way too long!” Ryan chuckled heartedly; the noise sounding very dark and tempting. Her toes curled up just listening to it. “So how have you been?”
“Fine, thanks,” Nicola replied while playing with a strand of her chestnut hair between her thumb and index finger. “You?”
“Great, just great.”
“Been up to anything lately?”
Ryan laughed. “Nothing much. Just been going to the bar with a few mates and making the most of my week off from work. Fucking hell! The amount of court cases I had in the past few months really has killed me!”
“I would have imagined so,” Nicola said jokingly. “I’ve been busy with work too. You know, it’s hard being in the fashion industry these days…But on Monday I went out with Skye to a club.” She broke off, laughing at the memories of that night. “We ended up dancing the whole night away and Skye got herself this hottie’s phone number.”
“Lucky her then,” he playfully teased her. “At least she will be on a date with him in no time. She is a real man eater, that cousin of yours.”
She couldn’t help but agree with him on that one as Skye did have a certain charm for the men. Nicola had her fair share of men but it was nothing compared to Skye’s endless list of guys!
“Yeah, right!” Nicola drawled, bursting into a fit of giggles“You’re just jealous that you haven’t gone out with her yet. With your reputation you’d most likely to get her into bed when the night is over!”
“Hmm…maybe, maybe not.” Nicola imagined him having a wide grin stuck on his face at the other end of the line. “Anyway are you doing anything tonight?”
“Well, actually I am,” she admitted, casually saying the words. “I’m going to the cinema with Jess to see that Unadulterated Passion movie.”
-X-X-X-X-
Upon hearing those words Ryan sank further down into the loveseat and released quite a deep sigh into the phone. He shook his head sadly then ran his fingers through his already ruffled dark hair. Shit! Ryan inwardly cursed harshly. He was hoping that Nicola would be free so they can spend the night on the town. Ryan hadn’t seen her for so long and as he was unwilling to admit it, he was beginning to get withdrawal symptoms from her. From the moment he had first met her he wanted to sex her senseless and that feeling hadn’t changed throughout the course of two years.
Even though he has been with his girlfriend Francesca for two years, Ryan still lusted after Nicola and he wanted more than nothing than to have a relationship with her. Unfortunately that dream hadn’t come true for him yet. More than once he was tempted to have a heated affair with her however he wouldn’t act on his feelings, for he knew that Francesca would have his balls on a silver platter.
He could hear Nicola repeating his name a few times before he was brought back to reality. Ryan cleared his throat before speaking once again.
“That’s a shame,” he grumbled, turning on the TV with the flick of a button of the remote control. A football game appeared on the screen but Ryan wasn’t interested in it. The only thing he that held his interest was the woman he was on the phone to.
“How comes?” she asked curiously.
“I was thinking you and I could go out somewhere tonight and have a fun time,” Ryan explained. “All my mates have their own thing going on tonight while I just have to sit at home doing jack shit. That sucks!”
At least Nicola found it rather funny. “Well, what about Fran? Maybe she would like to spend a quiet night in with you.”
“Nope!” Ryan said with a grunt. “She’s going out somewhere with one of her friends. Hell, she wouldn’t say who though! Usually she tells me these kind of things without me not having to ask her.”
To be honest Ryan had suspicions about Francesca. She had been seeing this so-called mystery friend at night time during the past three weeks. Ryan couldn’t quite put his finger on it but he bet her friend was a man. Of course, he recognised the signs of when a person is cheating. One of them was which when they meet up with someone privately without letting their partner know who it is exactly. Ryan knew from experience as he been there and done it before.
“Well,” Nicola started to say. “I could go out with you tomorrow night if that’s alright with you?”
At that Ryan instantly perked up. “Yeah, that would be lovely Nic!”
He could have sworn that he heard Nicola purring down the end of the phone. Ryan knew that she preferred to be called Nic for short and that’s why he call her that every time.
“I just got home from my fencing class. Fuck, my body is aching all over…”
“Hmm, maybe I can help you out there,” Ryan said suggestively. “I can give you an all over massage as I’m pretty good with my hands.”
Nicola giggled girlishly and Ryan knew that she couldn’t resist his flirting. “Oh, really? And why is that then?”
“Because I have a touch that blows a woman away,” he drawled. Who would have thought that exchanging innuendos with Nicola could make him so hard and horny? All of a sudden he felt like a lustful teenager again, driven by his hormones. Ryan looked down to see there was indeed a tent in his trousers.
“Ha, I don’t think Francesca would like to hear those words coming from your mouth. What would she say to that?”
Unfortunately just then the intimate moment was ruined due to her words. Ryan’s smile faded instantly into a frown and he didn’t feel all that aroused now. Why did she have to say that? His eyes flew to the doorway when a nineteen year old petite blonde woman entered the room with a small pink bag slung over her shoulder. Obviously Francesca was planning to go out. Ryan couldn’t care less where she was going, just as long as she wasn’t going to borrow money from him yet again.
“Listen, I have to go now as Francesca is here and I think she wants to talk to me or something,” he patiently told Nicola while Francesca was staring at him through emerald eyes. “I guess I see you tomorrow night.”
“Looking forward to it Ryan,” she exclaimed. “Anyway what time shall we meet up?”
“About eight, outside Time and Envy.” Ryan had been to there quite a few times before and he could say it was one of the best nightclubs he has ever been to.
“Alright,” Nicola remarked. “See you later then.”
“Bye. Take care Nic.”
With that Ryan hung up and put the phone back down on the coffee table in front of him. He met his girlfriend’s glance and in response she grinned at him.
“I’m going shopping now to buy some new clothes,” Francesca informed. Ryan rolled his eyes up to the ceiling. Francesca didn’t look too impressed when he done that.
“Now what?” she snapped, planting both hands on her hips, slightly getting pissed off.
“Haven’t you got enough clothes as it is, babe?”
“I know! But Amber’s party is coming up soon and I want to buy an outfit today.” Her whining eventually got to him and he just sighed in defeat.
“Okay,” Ryan muttered. “Do you want me to drive you to the mall?”
“No, you don’t have to do that for me!” Francesca insisted.
With a naughty glint in her eyes she planted herself on his lap and straddled him. Francesca laughed huskily then lowered her head down, taking his mouth in a fiery, sensual kiss. Naturally the male side of him awakened as he had a woman in his arms, kissing him passionately. Without any warning whatsoever she broke the kiss and Ryan groaned, silently protesting. He wondered if he could convince her out of going shopping and spending a few hours naked in bed with him.
“I could buy some sexy lingerie there,” she purred. “If I get home early then maybe later on I can model privately for you…”
Ryan smiled and stroked her hair. “I wouldn’t object to that.”
“I thought you wouldn’t say no!” Francesca said in triumph as she scooted off his lap while Ryan chuckled lovingly. “Ciao sweetie”
“Catch you later baby.”
Ryan watched as she left the room then within a few seconds, he heard the front door being closed with a bang. He turned his attention to the game but then suddenly he realised something. Amber’s birthday party was not until next month. So why was Francesca buying her outfit today for the party? Something was definitely not right Ryan concluded.
