Nicole: Chapter Three

“Good god man! How can you stand to be around that freak?? She’s disgusting! Just watch she is gonna get us sick and it’ll be all your fault!”

“Shut up! Just shut up right now! I will kill you, I swear!” I screamed at Hyde.

“You wouldn’t dare try.” He smirked. “You know you can’t kill me without killing yourself.”

“You don’t think I’ll do it? I’ve tried before! What makes you think I won’t try again!?” I was seriously considering it at that moment. With me gone Hyde can’t mess anything up.

“You wouldn’t do it because you like the abomination. You want to see her again, but god I can’t stomach the thought.”

“Shut up right now! She is perfect just the way she is and there is nothing wrong with her! Absolutely nothing!” I was so infuriated with him, but he was right, I won’t do it. She is the one thing keeping both me and him on this earth. Wait, I do like her. I like Nicole.

I began to smile but it fell short as Hyde interjected, “I told you, idiot. I’m in your head. I know everything you think about.”

“Just sh-”

“Yeah yeah yeah, I know, shut up.”

With that statement I was terrified because he was absolutely silent after that, and that is never a good thing.

“Hey Nicole, how are you?”

“I’m well, how about you?” She replied enthusiastically.

“I’m good, it’s a Tuesday so no classes for me.”

“Wow, nice. Gonna have a lazy day then?”

“Yep yep yep. What about you, any classes today?” I inquired.

“Yeah, sadly but its Journalism so I’m happy.”

“Cool.” There was a short silence. “Last night was fun, I had a great time.”

“Yeah so did I.” She replied.

“Hey, I was wondering,”

“Yes, Jasper?”

“Do you wanna hang out again tonight? We could stay in and watch movies.”

“That sounds nice. What time should I come over?”

“What time would best suit you?” I asked.

“Would seven be good?”

“That’s perfect.”

“Well I have to go to class now. See you later!”

“Bye.” I replied before she hung up the phone. “Hyde, please don’t interrupt us tonight.” Still no reply from him, and since when did I start calling him Hyde. Whatever, I need to clean up some before she gets here tonight.

“Hey Jas! Open up!” Nicole called out through the door, not even knocking.

“Jas?” I questioned as I opened the door.

“Yeah, just trying it out. Do you not like it?”

“No it’s fine. Just caught me off guard.” I smiled at her. “So what movie do you want to watch first?”

She just stood there and laughed at me. “Sweetie, its Tuesday night.” She walked over to my small couch and sat down. “Supernatural always comes first.”

“Oh crap! I completely forgot that it was on tonight!”

She stood up completely distraught. “How could you forget about Supernatural?”

I found something more important. That’s what I wanted to say, but I just shrugged and said, “I don’t know.”

“Well that’s no answer.” She stuck her tongue out at me. “But we do have an hour before it starts, so what are we gonna do till then?”

“We can talk and get to know each other.” I suggested.

“Alrighty then.” She smiled. “You first.” She insisted as she sat back down and patted the cushion next to her.

“Okay, to start,” Sitting down, “Do you like Chinese food?” Her eyes widened and a smile began to creep up on her face. “Should I take that as a yes?”

After blinking a few times repetitively she finally replied. “Yes, yes you should. Lo Mein, Kung Pao, Fried Rice, I’ll eat anything Chinese.”

“Would you like me to order some? Or did you already eat?” The smile on her face grew even larger. “Alright then. What would you like?”

“Surprise me.”

I picked up my phone and called the Chinese place that was right off campus. “Challenge accepted.” I said with a smirk while the phone rang. When the owner picked up, I proceeded to give him my order while speaking in Chinese. Her jaw dropped and I had a hard time not bursting out in laughter.

After I hung up the phone I turned to her and just said, “It’ll be here in about twenty minutes.” She sat there blinking with her gaping jaw trying to reach the floor.

A few seconds passed before she spoke. “You speak Chinese?” Her mouth was still agape slightly.

“Yeah, I also know Japanese. Why is that so surprising?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well that’s no answer.” I grinned at her while she stuck her tongue back out.

“I was just surprised.” She tried to explain.

“Why surprised?”

“Well you are more out of your shell than when we first met, and I’m just learning more about you.”

“I feel more comfortable around you than other people.”

“Awww thank you.” She said as I smiled at her. “Hey, I have a question for you.”

“Okay, I have an answer.”

“Do you consider last night and tonight to be a date?”

“Well,” I sat there and thought about that for a few seconds. “I’m not sure. I don’t know if you wanted it to be date or just friends hanging out. Was it a date?”

She licked her lips before blushing softly and looked away. “Well, I kinda intended it to be a date,” She started slowly. “But it doesn't have to if you don’t want.” She rushed through that second part.

Holy freaking crap! She actually likes me! No, this can’t be happening, not to be. This has to be Hyde screwing with me. But it can’t be, her presence is so much more wonderful than his.

“I want it to count Nicole.” She looked up from the floor then tackled me with a hug, (which I would later find out that she called it a glomp.)

After a few seconds she let go and looking up at me she asked, “So where does this leave us?” She paused. “Are we together, or are we still just friends?”

“To be honest, I am hoping the first option.” I laughed softly. “Because I do like you Nicole.”

“Really?”

“Really really.” We both smiled at each other shortly before Nicole glomped me again.

She held on to me tight until we were interrupted by a knock at the door. Our food was here. We sat back down and continued to talk about stuff like our favourite music, movies, books, our hobbies, interests, and other stuff like that. About half an hour later I just so happened to randomly glace at the clock on the wall and it was two minutes till eight.

“Oh crap! Supernatural is about to start!” I jumped up and grabbed the remote to turn the TV on.

“You forgot again?” She joked at me.

“Oh shush, like you didn't forget too.”

“Shut up.” She stuck her tongue out again.”

“I don’t shut up I grow up and when I look at you I throw up.”

“Oh god, I haven’t seen that movie in years.”

“Well I have it so we can watch it after Supernatural.” I suggested.

“Sounds like a plan.” She smiled.

The rest of the night was nice and peaceful. We watched a few movies after Supernatural ended, cuddling the whole time. Neither of us said anything about cuddling, but it just happened. It was nice and relaxing. I had never felt that calm in my life. Hyde was always there to ruin things. I’ve never felt that comfortable around anyone also. I could be myself and not worry about being judged. For the first time in my life, I felt at home.
