The Secrets That Bring Us Together

Chapter 25

By the time we get back from my parents house I am exhausted, it's been one hell of a day. As we walk through the apartment building I notice a bunch of roses sitting outside my front door. I lean forward and pick them up, Nate is so close to me right now I can feel his breath on my neck, "who they from?" he asks.

I pull out the card that reads I'm sorry - Alex x Nate snorts and walks into the apartment. He looks pissed. I throw the roses straight into the bin along with the card, "what's wrong with you?" I ask.
"nothing" but his tone is short and clipped.
"sounds like nothing." I say, just as snarky.
"what the fuck is he playing at? Sending you a shitty bunch of fucking roses as if that's going to fix what he's done the fucking tosser."

Is it bad that I love it when Nate’s angry because his accent shines through so much more especially with the lingo he uses.

"roses aren't going to fix anything" I simply tell him. At that moment my phone starts ringing, I check it and see its Alex's new number, apparently blocking his old one just encouraged him to get a new one and try again. I end the call and block his new number too.

"I can't fucking believe what he did though, you know?" Nate is still talking to himself. "would you ever go back to him?" he asks and I hear the vulnerability in his voice.

"what? Fuck no. What he did.. Its damaged me. He broke the relationship we had and basically took a shit all over it." I say honestly.
"what was your relationship like?" Nate asks as he joins me on the sofa where I have settled.
I think about it for a moment and then answer, "it was shit in all honesty. It was good for the first few months but then he would do things that annoyed the shit out of me. He's all about his image and how we should seem rather than who we are. The sex got boring and it was like trying to schedule a doctors appointment, it was never spontaneous. By the end if I'm honest it was fizzling out anyway"
He thinks this over for a moment before saying in a low voice, "if you were mine I would never let you feel like you had to act a certain way. And sex would definitely not be an issue, you bent down to pick those flowers up and I got a fucking semi" his words make me smile.
"you said he.. Damaged you, in what way?" he asks.
"I don't know, I guess I feel like if I had have been enough he wouldn't have been cheating on me majority of the relationship. And work and school are basically all I do, maybe I just didn't hold his interest." I say thoughtfully.
Nate looks pissed again," see, this. This is what I mean. I hate that he's made you doubt yourself. Mia you're fucking amazing. It's not your job to hold his interest he's supposed to be a man not a fucking toddler, it's not your responsibility to keep him entertaind long enough so he doesn't fall and trip into another girls fucking vagina. You are more than enough and you are certainly too fucking good for that dickhead."

The way he's looking at me with so much sincerity and want is too much, I want to squirm away from his heated gaze. He moves closer and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. "you are so beautiful Mia, so captivating, so strong and funny and beautiful. And you are so unbelievably fucking sexy. I wish you knew.."
"Knew what?" I ask in a breath.
"The way I've always felt about you" he says with his eyes boaring into mine, "I've always liked you as more than a friend Mia, ever since I started noticing you were a girl really." he let's out a laugh, "I fucking hated it when you decided not to come to college with me and Joey. I missed you so much and then you started dating Alex, I hated that fucker ever since I met him. I know it's shitty of me, but a small part of me was happy when you guys broke up. That part of me held hope that maybe now it's my turn to show you how you should be loved." loved? He's not saying he loves me though, right?

I don't have the words to tell him how I feel right now so I press my lips to his. And I pour every emotion I feel towards this wonderful boy in front of me into our kiss.

He responds by wrapping his large hand around my neck and deepening our kiss further. I move across the sofa to straddle him and I rub myself against him to create the friction I so desperately need right now. He let's out a low groan and grabs my ass cheeks in his hands over my jeans. "off. Now." he says as he moves hands and starts unbuttoning them. I stand up off him and slowly pull my jeans down my legs as he watches me with a heat filled gaze.

Once I'm down to my underwear he pulls his shirt and jeans off too, leaving him only in his Calvin klien boxers that are doing nothing to hide his errection. He pulls me towards him and unclasps my bra. "no foreplay, I need to be inside of you now" his dirty, demanding words spur me on and it's not long before he's buried inside me and I'm screaming in pleasure.
