I shut the door, behind Howie and hesitantly turned around. Nick stood up and ran his fingers through his hair. Not knowing what to do, I walked over to the bed and sat down.
"Um... I... god I can't do this... sorry" he sighed, and quickly began walking towards the door.
"Nick... please don't go. We work together, we can't be like this with each other" I stopped him. He let out a deep sigh and slowly turned back around.
"It just hurts so bad Mich. " he stammered. I looked up at him.
"I know..." I sadly murmured. He hesitantly walked over to the bed and sat down beside me. We both stared at the ground.
"I always thought, that you and me would be together for always" he sadly laughed.
"I guess I was wrong..."
I placed my hand over his understanding all he was saying.
"You'll get over me pretty soon. I assure you" I cajoled. He smiled.
"Yeah, I have to get back into the dating game, wonder if Britney Spears is still going out with Prince William... I should give her a call."
"Nick... were you unhappy when you were with me" I suddenly said. He looked at me startled at my sudden change in tone.
"No... it's just... ... we were barely together and alone, we were drifting apart... I felt as if I didn't know you anymore... but I still loved you and that mattered to me."
I nodded feeling a very familiar lump in my throat beginning to grow.
"You know... that's what I said to Sarah" I softly admitted.
He looked at me, his eyes glistening. We were greeted by silence as my body moved in with his, our faces moving closer, our lips meeting. His arms wrapped around me pulling me close as we slowly fell back on the bed. Nick's hands began to wonder, suddenly snapping back into reality.
"Nick no... we can't do this" I said moving away from him, his face going bright red.
"Shit... I'm sorry" he mumbled.
"No... don't be, I'm sorry. I should have stopped it as soon as it started. I guess I just wanted just one last kiss..." I muttered back.
"Our last kiss" he barely whispered. Nick's face fell.
"So it really is over, isn't it" he then asked, knowing the answer. I nodded. He looked down before standing up and making his way to the door.
"I guess I'd better go... I'll see you later" he said before walking out.
