Chapter 9
*Nat*
Why did Nick just get up and leave? I mean he didn’t really leave he just walked into another room and said he couldn’t do it. I don’t understand. I thought he wanted me to tell him the truth, so I did now he’s mad at me again. I hate my life.
I waited for awhile. I wanted him to relax. Or do something.
A little while later I walked into the guest room, I knocked and without waiting for a response I went in. Nick was on the couch up but staring at something.
“Nick?” I said.
He looked at me and turned his head back to where he was staring. “You hate me don’t you?”
“Why would I hate you?” I said.
“Because you were trying to apologize and stuff like that and then I really messed things up even more.”
“No, I did.”
He looked at me and just gave a confusing look, “How could you of done it?”
“I came on to strong? I was like just holding on to you and I guess you don’t want that, Well not yet.”
“You didn’t. I mean..I liked it...But I just didn’t know what to do.”
“Oh, so you ran?”
“I had to there was nothing else that would go threw my mind for me to do. I really wanted to tell you that I was sorry too but I just couldn’t.”
“Do you forgive me Nick?” I said looking at him. Trying to get his eyes to meet mine.
He turned over and looked at me, avoiding my eyes completely. I could figure that he didn’t know. Threw what we were talking about the past few days.
“You don’t know do you Nick?” I asked.
He sighed and looked at me. “I do know, its just that I don’t know if it’s me being stubborn, or its me just saying I don’t think I can. But I know I can. Always I mean there’s only going to be one or two ways. I mean kissing a guy....my best friend...is something big, and I know that I can forgive you. I can forgive both of you, just because you are willing to talk. About anything. We sat there yesterday and today talking about it and then we go off and talk about other things. I know that deep down you are sorry. I sat in this room and started, I decided yeah, I’m going to forgive her. And Brian. But it’s going to have to go into stages. I mean first we have to be friends and then we can go from there. Just don’t go out with any guys during this.”
“Like I would.” I said laughing.
“Nat, I’m serious.”
“I know you are. I just won’t go after any guys. There’s only one guy that I want.”
“Who’s that?” He said smiling.
“You really want to know this?”
“Yeah, if you want you can come up to me and whisper it to me.”
“Are you sure about that? I mean this guy doesn’t know if he could forgive me for something.”
“If you tell me I’ll show you something.”
“What’s that?” I asked getting up.
“I dunno.”
I sat down next to him and started to nibble at his ear. “So am I forgive?” I said.
I stopped kissing him and looked at him. He looked right into my eyes and then smiled.
“Yeah. I’m sorry, just for making you talk so much about this.”
“I’m glad.” I said yawning.
“You tired?”
“Sort of.”
“Then sleep, we can talk or do something later.”
“Are you sure Nick?”
“Yeah. Go to sleep. I’ll wake you up soon.”
“Thanks.” I said putting my head on his shoulder and fell asleep.
~~*~~*~~*~~*
The phone started to ring and I started to look for it. I knew that it was somewhere on the couch,
I was touching Nick and I really didn’t notice it.
“Nat, that’s my head, please stop.”
“Where’s the phone?” I asked.
“Hold on.” He said. I felt him move his hand and put it on the side.
“Here.”
“Thanks.” I said.
“Sure.”
I picked up the phone and said.
“Hello?”
“Nat?” The voice said.
“That is I.” I said.
“How are you doing?” It was Brian so don’t get any ideas.
“Okay, a little bit better.”
“Cool, just checking why you were not here. What about Nick?”
“I got sick, he was with me and then I fainted. So he stayed here and we talked.”
“Oh, would you want to go to a restaurant and talk about it? I mean if you both want to come.”
“Yeah, we’ll be there. I gotta drag him somewhere.” Brian told me where we were going to meet and I told Nick.
We laid there for awhile when Nick said.
“So, Nat is there a bump on my head?”
“Let me check. Ahh.. Yeah a small one.” I said going threw his hair.
“Owe it hurts.”
“Where did you get it from?” I asked rubbing it.
“Phone. You.” he said taking my hand away from it and rubbing it.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” I said rubbing it again.
“You wanna make me feel real better?”
“How would I do that?” I said smiling.
“If you were a good girlfriend you’d kiss it and make it ALL better.” He said smiling at me.
“Gee Nick, if I was your girlfriend I could do that...”
Nick picked me up and put me on his lap.
“Now what did you say?” He said. He looked as if he was going to tickle me.
“Nick....Please... Don’t. I said why don’t I make it all better.”
“No.. You said. If I was your girlfriend I could do that.”
“I.... I... Swear I didn’t.” I said as he started to move his hands towards me.
“No, you did. So I think you should be punished cuz when did you not ever be my girlfriend?”
“I don’t know Nick don’t...” He started to tickle me.
“So are you my girlfriend or not?” He said.
“I....I yes Nick! I am. Please...Stop!” I said between laughs.
“Are you sure?”
“YES! Please STOP!”
“Alright, but I get to do something else to you.”
“What’s that?” I said as he laid me down on the couch and got on top of me.
“This.” He said as he pulled me into a kiss.
After we were done kiss, I looked up at him and started to play with his hair.
“I thought we were going to take it slow?”I said giggling.
“We are. I mean its been what? An hour?” He smiled at me.
“We better go see Brian now.”
“Yup. We should.”
“Nick. Were going.”
“I know. Lets go.” He said getting off of me and pulling me up.
