Nico

I had just come back from practice. My mind kept looping back to what Damian had told me earlier as I slumped into the cushions of the couch. I felt deeply hurt, I wasn't going to lie.

I pulled out my phone and texted Isabella, hoping she was online to answer me right away.

~~Where exactly is the shoot going to take place~~

I paced around the living room for a few minutes to kill time while waiting for a reply. Just then, the phone buzzed in my palm. I stared at the screen as if whatever w

  • The Captain Doesn't Know I'm A Girl    Chapter 52

    Third Person pov: Nico walked into his house, a faint sense of relief settling in his chest. Isabella had finally pointed out the one detail everyone else had ignored, which lifted a huge weight off him.He had instructed Jace to tell Jade not to come tutor his sister today, not out of anger, but simply because his sister had gone on vacation with their parents.Deep down, he was still furious with Jade, yet the sharp edge of his anger had started to soften. He spent the entire evening pacing around, unable to sit still as thoughts of how harshly he had yelled at her ran through his mind. Even if he felt completely justified in what he did, an uneasy urge to see her and apologize kept tugging at him.After hours of tossing and turning on the couch, he finally snapped. He grabbed his car keys off the table, headed straight out the front door, and drove over to Jade’s house.When he arrived, Jace was just pulling the front door open, preparing to step out. Spotting Nico on the porch ma

    JADE:Practice was exhausting, but I managed to get the team through it. They were fast learners, though they’d still need endless repetition to get everything down perfectly.Coach Timothy couldn't stop praising me, practically treating me like a prize trophy. That didn't sit well with Nico at all. I caught the way his eyes hardened, and I knew right then he was starting to view me as a threat.Later, I noticed him sitting by himself on the bench, swiping through his phone while taking a big gulp from his water bottle. I crept up behind him, leaning in to see what had his attention.He was scrolling through Isabella's profile. Squinting at the tiny text on his screen, I realized she had written a massive post defending him on her page.A heavy wave of guilt hit me in the chest. That was my job. I should have cleared his name, but I’d been too much of a coward to do it, and now Isabella was stepping up in my place. I decided I would film a proper video the second I got home to fix it.

    JADE:As we got out of the elevator, I couldn't figure out why I told him I didn't like him, even when my heart skipped a beat any time he got close to me.I took a stool at the bar, though every instinct urged me to follow him. To make it worse, he sat on a couch not far from me and he didn't glance my way, not once. I couldn't stop myself from stealing looks every minute.Should I just walk over and sit beside him? I thought. My neck throbbed from constantly checking over my shoulder. Just as I mustered the courage to stand, a girl smoothly glided over and sat right next to him.I sank straight back down. The easy way they talked, the shared laughter, it set off a hot, suffocating burn in my chest. I hated seeing it, especially the soft way he smiled at her.This time, I stopped hiding it. I locked my glare onto them, eyes practically burning with raw fury. Desperate to drown out the sight, I ordered drink after drink, downing the bitter wine in heavy gulps. I let the sting scrape

    NICO:I stood up almost immediately and pushed through the crowd, my pulse hammering in my ears. The moment Jade caught my eye, relief washed over her face, though she tried to hide it behind a sharp glare."Stop, just leave me alone," she fumed, her voice trembling with frustration as I reached them."I believe she made it clear when she told you to leave her alone," my deep tone cut through the air, leaving no room for argument.Damian stared back at me, a lazy, mocking smirk spreading across his lips. I could see right through him. He was deliberately pulling this stunt just to push my buttons and get under my skin.By this time, the whole crowd had quieted down to watch us, and even the DJ turned off the music. Phones instantly popped up around us, cameras glowing as people recorded the scene."It is okay Nico, I am fine," Jade muttered, her voice shaking as she attempted to play it cool. The panicked look in her eyes betrayed her completely. She was terrified.I took two steps fo

    NICOI signed the papers, feeling a heavy weight lift off my chest, and my dad took them from me."Nice doing business with you, son," he offered his hand with a proud, warm grin. "Hopefully one day I get to work with you in my office. When that time comes, you are always welcome.""Thanks, dad," I muttered, feeling a rare moment of genuine gratitude.As soon as he let go, he headed upstairs to join my mom. I leaned back against the couch, a faint, longing smile touching my lips. Deep down, I really wished this could be me and Jade when we get older. She is the only girl I have ever pictured a real future with.I used to ask my mom how she knew she wanted to marry my father for who he was, and not just his wealth. Her answer confused me at first. She spoke about how your heart beats fast around them, how your chest feels light, and how you simply cannot imagine your life without them. Ever since then, I had not met a single girl who fit that criteria. When I was with Isabella, I rea

    NICOA day ago.After dropping her off, I drove straight home. That was when it hit me: I totally forgot to ask her the question I intended to. My mind had been so scrambled I completely spaced on it.The next day, Coco arrived, practically bouncing with excitement when she saw me. I scooped her up into my arms while Boba wiggled around my feet."Hey buddy, good to see you," I murmured, leaning down to pat the dog's head."I need a long, hot bath," my mom muttered. She dragged a hand over her forehead, looking completely wiped out from the trip."I told you to take some time off, even if it's for a full year," my dad urged softly. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes. Anyone watching would think they hadn't just gotten back from the exact same journey together.She leaned into him, her face lighting up with affection. "I’d die of boredom without you."They have been like this for as long as I can remember. Honestly, it is one of the things
