Chapter 37: Never Been Better

I Was Enchanted to Meet YouWords: 6914

Nika POV

We rushed into the hotel room, my hands meeting her waist, pushing her against the door. My lips instinctively go to her sweet spot, soft whines leaving her lips. This only pushed me over the edge, increasing my need for her.

"Mmmm, bebo, you're so beautiful," She shuddered under my lips, a smile etched on my face.

"God, Nika," She took a couple deep breaths, her breathing not necessarily going back to normal.

I traveled my kiss up her jaw and to her lips, my hands messing with the hem of her shirt. Slipping under the piece of fabric, my hands roamed around on her skin. Our lips melting together, her hands pulling my hair out of my ponytail. Her hands raking through my hair, a moan slipping through me.

"Tate, I love you so much," mumbling between kisses, her grip on in my hair tightens, "I need you, bebo. I need you so much."

She pulls back a bit, her gaze burning through me as her eyes made their rounds over my body. "Off."

That's all she said, pointing to the shirt covering my chest. A smirk etched its way onto my face. My fingers messed with the light fabric, "This, is this what you want me to take off?" She nods, I chuckle, "Words, baby. I need you tell me what you want."

Tate's face flushed pink, "Yes, please, take it off."

"Good girl," The words flowed off my tongue as if I said them all the time, "Lay down, Tate." Without hesitation, she made her way to our shared bed. I slowly walked my way to her, no godly thoughts running through my mind.

"Nika..." She was at a loss of words, speechless, "I...I need you."

I nod, crawling over top of her. My necklace hanging from neck, barely touching her body. Once my lips were equal to hers, they collided. My hands working on removing everything that blocked her body from my view. Tate's hands messed with the hairs on my neck.

"I'm gonna make you feel good, Tate."

"You always do, Nika."

Tate POV

"We need to keep you winning," I mumbled into her chest, she chuckled. Her hands combing through my hair. My finger tracing small shapes on her skin.

This, this is what I lived for. The small moments where we'd just hold each other, no words, just comfort. Her breathing became a soft melody to calm me. Her soft touches became the feeling I craved throughout the day. Her presence was enough to make me whole day, year, lifetime even.

"Maybe," She let out a deep sigh, a content sigh, "Do you think my parents will ever come around on the idea of us?" The question shocked me, it was so out of the blue.

I sat up to look her in the eye, a soft but heartbroken expression on her face. A moved a hair behind her ear, settling the hand on her cheek, "Niks, I-I don't know." Her eyes closed, holding something back within her. "I wish I could give you a better answer...but just know I'll be here with you through everything."

A small, weak, but small smile formed on her lips. A tear slipped along her face, stilling at her chin. "I was hoping that they wouldn't be the way they are. Th-they just never seemed like it."

"I know."

"It...it just surprised me how they could just...I don't know." She was frustrated, rightfully so, but I wanted her to tell me everything. Even if it's not good, or if it's breaking someone's heart.

"You can tell me anything, Nika."

"I just can't put it into words..."

"Try."

She inhaled deeply, releasing before speaking, "I'm just so mad, angry, furious. They could so easily just turn me down for loving someone. Loving someone who has made my life better within a couple of weeks. Tate, I don't think I can lose you. I would choose you over my family anytime if it meant spending my time with you." Her eyes swelled with tears, my own forming.

"Nik-" "Don't 'Nika' me, I mean it. They obviously don't care about my happiness enough to at least be in love with you."

"That's your family..."

"Not if they can't treat me like I'm theirs, no I'm not."

I pulled her into a hug, tears sliding down my face, hers falling on my shoulder. She nuzzled her head into my neck, sobs coming out quietly. I just held her, let her get out whatever she needed. I whispered, 'it's okay' and 'I love you' more than ever. She just needed me, and I was going to be there for her. I slowly rubbed her back, placing kisses on her head.

"I love you, Tate."

"I love you more, Nika."

Nika POV

After a night of many events, we eventually fell asleep. My head resting on her chest, her breathing slowing as she drifted into the world in her dreaming state. I couldn't help but snicker at her. The way you knew she was comfortable, how she so quickly she could just pass out.

I took a moment to soak it in, soak her in. I needed her more than I could ever imagine being the case. I was utterly in love with Tate Davis.

I raised my head, looking at her, placing a kiss on her forehead before cuddling into her sleeping body. I let sleep take me easily that night, I had her, that's all I needed.

Waking up in the morning, I felt refreshed, ready. We had the day to just hangout before we took a plane back home tonight. I went to the bathroom, took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, just taking care of myself. I walked out to grab something, but Tate stole my attention.

"You're finally up!" I rushed over to her, jumping onto the bed. Giggles rang throughout the room.

"Stoppp," She hid under the cover, "You wore me out last night." She sat up, quickly saying something else, "I mean, not the crying and stuff, like the other stuff, you know, like the ho-" I started laughing, placing my hand over her mouth.

"I know what you meant, babes," I felt her smile against my hand. I replaced it with my lips. Kissing her lovingly, not the urgent and needy kisses from last night.

I pulled away, Tate smiling softly, "Hey..."

A breathy laugh escapes my lips, "Hey, baby. You good?"

"Never been better."

A/N: did you guys miss me? Cause I'm like highkey sorry that I haven't updated this one in awhile...a long time...too long.

I do wanna start updating more, I'm even trying to come up with some sort of updating schedule maybe. Maybe twice a week for this fic and once or twice a week for the other. I don't know what days tho.

Work, school, and just everything is kicking my ass lately. So, I've finally kinda had a breather, (also it's like Hoco week for my school so most teachers aren't doing much) so I might be able to post more this week.

I hope y'all are doing good...like really. Let me know how things are going in the comments, love y'all too much to not ask how you guy are doing.

(Also liam payne passing today was not something I expected...)

Listening to music while writing has to be something I love to do, like, LOVE it.

Also, does anyone have any fic recommendations for Nika? I need some to read for myself...like actually...

Anyways...

Peace y'all, til the next chapter
