Dark Passion - Nathan Sykes Love Story

Chapter 1 - 1 year

The sun was shining brightly in the beautiful blue sky. I was sat in my balcony reading a book, but I couldn't help admire the natural beauty of the world. I loved it when the sun shined. It just spread more happiness amongst people. Unlike gloomy weather. It always brought nothing but depression to me. Although I was soon pulled out of my trance by my annoying boyfriend, Nathan. He wasn't really that annoying, I loved him. But sometimes he could really be a pain in the neck.

"EVE!" Nathan called from our bedroom. His voice sounded like that of an old man. Sometimes Nathan did sound like that in the mornings.

I jogged to our room to not keep him waiting for too long.

"What is it Nath?" I asked in an irritated tone.

"I was cold. I want a cuddle." He muttered.

"Well you're obviously not getting one." I smiled in a mean way.

"What? Why not?" He asked with a sad face.

"Because Nathan it's time for you to wake up. It's 12 in the noon and I think bedtime's over sweetie."

"Just a few minutes! Please?" He begged with a puppy face. Now you see, nobody could resist that face. So I had to sadly give in. I slowly crawled into the bed and under the sheets. Nathan smiled like a very happy child and spread his arms open for me to get into. I wrapped mine gently around his waist and snuggled up to him.

"Happy 1 year Anniversary Nathan!" I mumbled into his chest. I bet he had forgotten about it. But I decided to forgive him for once.

"I can't believe I've lasted a year around such a creep." He giggled.

"Oh I could same the same for you mud head." I said back,

"Why would you call me that? That's just mean." He said as he looked down at me.

"Oh Yeah! And you calling me a creep is so sweet Nathan. I love you too." I said sarcastically and pecked his lips.

He just chuckled.

"It was the best year of my life." He whispered as he squeezed me tighter.

"I love you." I smiled and kissed his soft lips. We were kissing for a few minutes until we were disturbed by our new family member.

In the past year, a lot of things had changed for us. Nathan and I moved in to our own house in London. And we also have a cat. Cats are my favorite pet animals, and therefore Nathan decided to get me a cat for my 19th birthday. I loved the name Gracie, so that's what we named her. She was called Gracie Evelyn Sykes. Nathan I thought I was completely crazy while naming her, but I thought a cat also deserved a middle and last name. Call me crazy, I don't care.

The sad part is that, Gracie loves Nathan, more than she loves me. It hurt me a little at first, but now I'm just use to it. When she's with Nathan and I interrupt, she conveys her message of 'leave us alone' by forcing her paws harshly into my hands. But I still love that cat. There are sometimes when she truly expresses her love towards me when Nathan's not around.

Gracie crawled into the bed and got in between me and Nathan. He just chuckled and winked at me.

"Here's my second girlfriend." He announced and I gave him a funny look. "Please still marry me!" He said with a concerned expression. Everything was too cute around us.

"I'll think about it." I sighed and got off the bed.

"Now get your lazy bottom off the bed and get a shower. I'll keep your clothes ready and make you some food." I said.

"You're such a babe. Thank you sweetie." He replied. I picked up Gracie from his arms and took her away. She didn't seem very content, but I had to feed her. 

I placed her next to her food bowl which was full of her favorite type of cat food. She seemed content and really into her lunch. I then rushed to our bedroom to get Nathan his clothes. I picked out a plain white t-shirt and a pair of gray pants. It was the first thing I saw so I just picked it. I didn't have much time to spare.

I headed to the kitchen to prepare Nathan's favorite dish which was Spaghetti Bolognese. I was quite used to making it for him now that I never took too long. But I had a lot of time for myself considering the fact that Nathan was in the shower. He would like a million decades to come out.

In about 20 minutes, I was done making the food. It was the fastest I have ever been. I placed the lid over the pasta and the sauce and decided to take a TV break. Gracie was happily asleep on her bed. I knew why Nathan was her favorite. They were both so alike. All they liked doing was eat and sleep.

Nathan was out of the shower soon, which was a good thing. He looked extremely sexy with his wet hair and I just kept staring. Even in 1 year I hadn't had enough of this lad.

"Stop staring." Nathan giggled.

I quickly looked away and pretended like that never happened.

When I was setting the table ready I felt Nathan wrap his arms around my waist from behind and pull me into him. He started leaving a trail of kisses down my neck and I felt myself going weak at the knees.

"Nathan.." I whispered and freed myself from his tight hold. It took me sometime to catch onto my breath. I turned to look at him and he had a sly smirk playing on his face.

"Jerk." I mumbled as I walked into the kitchen.

"Thanks love." He called.

I brought in the food and served it to Nathan. Gladly he liked it. In the beginning he told me that my spagbol was never good enough. But then I guess I learned how to make it.

"Thank you babe. You're the best." He said as he stuffed his mouth with food. I flashed him a smile in return.

"I still have to give you your present." I said as I walked to get his box of presents. I brought him a few things I thought he would like.

The first thing was a box of the finest tea collection. Nathan was a tea-addict and I thought it would be a good present. He seemed pretty happy with it. The second thing was a scrapbook filled with pictures of us from our first time together till today. And then I got him a watch because he loved them as well.

"aww Thank you Eve. You're the best girlfriend ever." He said as he kissed my cheek."Are you excited for your presents now?" He asked.

"But.. I thought you forgot." I replied.

"I could never forget babe." He said calmly as he brought out a small rectangular box. I opened it to reveal the most beautiful necklace. It had a pendant in the shape of a heart and 'Nath & Eve Forever' was engraved in tiny characters on the back.

"Thank you Nathan!" I grinned as I placed a kiss on his lips. He hugged me tight.

Suddenly my phone started ringing in my pocket. The caller ID revealed it to be Charlotte.

"Hey Char. What's up?" I answered

"It's mum." Her voice quivered.

"Mum? What happened to mum?" I asked concerned.

"She..... She had an accident! She is really hurt Eve." She cried down the line.

"WHAT? NO." I screamed. Nathan noticed the tension and held on to me. My eyes had started their waterworks already.

"Where are you guys?" I asked. She told me the hospital that she was in and I hung up immediately. I needed to tend to my mom.

"Nathan I'm sorry I have to go. Mom's had an accident." I cried.

"Calm down babe. I'm coming with you." He said as he held me tight.

We both hurried into the car and drove off immediately.
