Nicholas never trusted women, not since his mother left. He was never looking for a serious relationship, deep down he didn't want to feel what his father felt after their mother's betrayal. That's why he didn't want to get attached, ever, he used them as his playthings and threw them away once he was done, he didn't see the point of relationships, they never lasted anyway.
That's what he thought before he met May, she changed him completely. Of course he didn't want to admit he was catching feelings, he ignored them and pushed away any thought of being official with her. She was a woman, she'd break his heart..right?
But he couldn't do that forever, he ended up getting into a relationship with her, she was oblivious to his situation before that, she didn't know about all the hook ups and kisses he gave away to strangers like candy on Halloween.
The word spread out, about Nicholas not hooking up and going to parties anymore, before he even had time to process it all everyone found out about May. He didn't think it would lead to anything bad, little did he know the girls he used to hook up with followed May on social media and told her everything about him.
They were sitting in his car, arguing like there was no tomorrow, she was mad, she probably thought she was just another hook up to him. No matter how many times he tried to tell her he changed she wouldn't believe him. He didn't want to tell her about his mother, but on the other hand, he didn't want her to break up with him. It was an understatement to say he regretted every single hook up in his life. He was about to lose the only woman he ever trusted in his life, the only woman who didn't remind him of his mother..
