Chapter 17
Nick walked out of the bathroom in his boxer and went on the bed. Nat went on the bed ad laid her head on Nick’s chest. She started to play with the tiny hairs on his chest. Nick in the mean time played with her hair.
He let out a loud yawn Nat looked at him and smiled. “Tired?”
He laughed and said. “Sort of.”
“Me too.” She went back down to his chest and continued to play with the hairs.
“Nat?” Nic said.
“Yeah Nick?
“You okay? You seem well...tense.”
“I’m just thinking.”
“About?”
“Us.”
“What about us?”
“About it I get well pregnant or something.”
“Whatever happens I will be by your side.”
“You promise?”
“Yeah, I promise.”
“Thanks.”
“Nat, I told you this before, but I guess you were...well you were sleeping and I didn’t want to do anything cause I was scared but I have these really strong feelings for you and well, I love you.”
“Nick, I heard you that day and I do too. I’ve always had them. I just got scared so I love you too.”
“Good for a minute there I thought...” Nat cut him off.
“Nick shut up.”
“Okay, Okay. You tired?”
“Very.”
Nick picked her off his chest and brought her head up to his and pulled the covers over them.”
“You know that I like a lots of covers.” he said.
“I know.”
“I love you.” Nick said giving her a kiss on the head.
“I love you too.”
“Something wrong?”
“No, just thinking.”
“It better not be about you getting pregnant and I stand by my word staying with you.”
“I know Nick I believe you too. It’s something else.”
“What?”
“I’m tired we can talk about it tomorrow.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, Nite Nick.”
“Nite.”
Nat turned off the lamp next to them and went back to bed. Nick wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer to him. He kissed the back of her head and them whispered into Nat’s ear.
“You know you can tell me anything.”
Nat sighed and closed her eyes for the night. Nick did too.
