My Officer

Chapter 15: The Sister

Dany's POV

Of course, today was not the day I would have my first kiss. Especially since an idiot decided to interrupt it.

"Oh sorry" Nick said and slowly stepped outside the house.

"Get back in here Nicholas" Nathaniel said irritation evident in his tone.

Nick popped his head in and gave him a cautious look.

"Finish helping her cook. I have to go buy some things." Nathaniel avoided my gaze and left.

I got up and went toward the kitchen to finish cooking.

Nick came into the kitchen. He leaned on the refrigerator and smirked, "so you and my brother huh?"

I glared at him and he stopped smirking. He then took a step forward. He squinted his eyes while looking at my face.

"Was my brother that bad of a kisser to make you cry?" He blurted out earning himself another glare from me. "I'm kidding, my brother would never attempt to kiss a vulnerable girl. It's not very gentlemenish." He then straightened up and came closer. "All joking aside, are you okay?"

"I am, thanks for asking Nick."

He smiled and proceeded to cut what Nathaniel had been cutting before.

"Did you notice something off with your brother?" I asked. "He acted kind of strange when he left."

Nick sighed, "You know, I can tell my brother cares for you. He is probably beating himself up right now though."

"Why would he?" I questioned confused. He didn't do anything wrong.

"He almost kissed you" he said giving me a look. "My brother is pretty old fashioned. He wouldn't forgive himself if he kissed you without being anything to you."

But he is something to me, I thought. But what is he to me?

"On a completely different subject, how is Mia doing?" Nick changed the subject and I silently thanked him for it.

"She is good, grounded, but good."

"Why grounded?"

"She failed her chemistry exam. I thought she had told you?" She had gone on and on about how Nick would make fun of her once she told him. I guess she still hasn't talked to him.

"Mia, Mia, Mia, I told her I would help her study but she refused my help." He shook his head.

"She is going to ask for your help, I already know she will."

We continued with small talk as we finished cooking.
Nathaniel came back with some flowers and other essentials.

"Daenerys, can I talk with you please?" He asked.

I nodded and followed him to a different room.

"I'm sorry what I did was out of line. I shouldn't have gotten so close to you." He immediately said.

For some reason my head felt a warmth at his words. It was the first time a guy had apologized for being too close. It was different.

"It's okay Nathaniel. I forgive you." I said although there wasn't really anything to forgive.

"There is something else I want to say."

"Tell me" my heart begun to beat insanely.

"I like you. I think you're a very beautiful girl and I want to get to know you. I just want to make my intentions clear first. I don't want to pressure you into anything. I want to get to know you at the pace you are comfortable with."
