Speechless; Episode 2

[Cont'd from episode 1]

Miley: Problem, Selena?

-I came out of my daze of staring at Miley & Nick kiss. I was so sure that my heart would ache from seeing him kiss a girl that wasn't me, but really, I wasn't angry at all. My heart actually had a feeling that something good would happen.-
-Intermission ended, and all attention focused on the rest of the KCA's. Blah, blah, blah. I really didn't care. I just wanted to get to the after party, to talk to Nick, to...make him mine. I must've blanked out, because before I knew it, Nick was tapping me on the shoulder.-

Nick: Hello! Earth to Selena!
-I looked up into his warm, inviting eyes. "And away to the after party we go?" I asked, nervous yet excited. -

Nick: You bet. [He looked around, ran his hand through his curly hair, then kneeled down in front of me.] You know, we're kind of lucky. [Laughs] Miley had to catch an early flight home...Noah's got the flu and her parents' can use all the help they can get.

-I stared at him. "Lucky?" I breathed, my heart beating wildly. Was he happy Miley wasn't going to be at the after party? Because I was, but I certainly wasn't showing him that unless he was happy she left, too.-

Nick: I feel something...special with you. You're a very pretty girl & you've got a lovely personality. I'd love to get to know you better. [He took my hand] After party?

-I blushed, nodded, and we ventured into the busy party, full of music, celebrities, and non-alcoholic beverages. We grabbed a small table, and in the next hour, we had talked about life, careers, dating, and love. Somehow, we always lingered on the last subject...-

{3 hours later; backroom}

-We kissed for what seemed like hours. Over & over, again & again. Atleast we had snuck into a backroom, so no one could see us. I knew it was wrong, and so did Nick, but on we went. Actually, I quite liked making out with Miley's boyfriend. It would be something she'd never know about. He stopped kissing me all of a sudden, and I stared at him. "What's wrong?" I asked nervously. Please, don't reject me, I prayed in my head.-

Nick: I-I don't know how to describe it, and...I know it's not right, but...Selena, do you want to go out with me?

-My heart filled with happiness and joy, filled to the top, threatening to spill and topple over. "Your girlfriend!" I squealed, wrapping my arms around his neck. "My boyfriend." A question popped into my head. "How are you going to tell Miley?" I urged, my stomach uneasy. Now, Miley could feel what it's like to have such a broken heart. She'd be losing such a great guy, but I'd gain so much: the love of that amazing guy. It wasn't a win-win situation, but I was ever so happy. Hey, love hurts...-

Nick: That's the hard part, Sel. I have this torn love, almost, for the both of you. I feel this love for Miley, and then I know why I'm with her & why I love her. But then I'm with you, and...it's a whole different way. I feel love for you, but in a different sense than how I feel it with Miley. I know it sounds terrible, but I'm being honest...I love both of you. And I can't choose just one.
-What was Nick asking from me? What was he saying? I thought love was your commitment to one person, not 2 or more. Before I agreed or disagreed to anything, I had to understand what he was asking from me.
"So...you want me to date you...while you still date Miley? Like I'm your secret girlfriend?" I asked.-

Nick: That's exactly what I'm asking. I want to date Miley, but I want to date you, too. We'd never tell anyone. I can't believe I'm asking you that, but I need you. I want you to be my girlfriend...even if our love has to secret.

-I can't believe I accepted. My heart was so beat up by David's quick, rude break up that when a new guy came around, who promised me love and happiness, I would take it. I found trust in Nick's words, that he actually cared for me. That he loved me. And he did. I knew it was wrong, but I needed him. I needed love. I needed to be loved. I took a deep breath and looked up at him. "Okay," I replied. "I will be your secret girlfriend." The look on Nick's face could light up the darkest of nights. He swooped me up and hugged me, kissed me, and I felt the love. It was there. "Nick, I love you," I whispered to him as we kissed. And my heart was whole. It had found that guy Demi talked about. "I love you, too," Nick murmured. And on we went in our joyous moment.
