Warzone *Nathan Sykes love story*

Chapter 3

*Tessa's POV*
        
        I woke up the next morning around 7:30. The first thing that came to mind was last night with Nathan. Even though nothing happened it still felt special. He was actually being nice to me and the way he sang was incredible! I also cant believe he heard me singing and thought I was actually good. I slowly sat up still thinking about everything. I heard my stomach rumble and knew I had to get something to eat. I grabbed my phone that was laying right next to me and got up and headed down stairs. When I got downstairs I looked around to see if anybody was up. No one. I set my phone down on the counter and grabbed my waffles out of the freezer and popped them in the toaster. As I was waiting my phone buzzed. I looked at the screen and saw that I had a text from my friend, Harry Styles. Yes I am friends with him. Ive been friends with him for about a year now and we are really close. I then opened the message.

"Hey Tessa :) Are you busy today?"

"Hey :) Not that I know of"

"Oh because I was wondering if you would like to go to the park with me"

I smiled. Me and Harry use to always go to the park together and just hang out. How could I say no?

"Sure :) What time do you wanna go?"

"Maybe around 11:00?"

"Sounds great! :)"

"Cool :) See yah then bye!"

"Bye :)"

I then set my phone down. I was going to see Harry for the first time in forever! I smiled to myself as I fixed my waffles. My mind was still fixed on last night but my thoughts were suddenly interrupted when I heard footsteps coming down stairs. I looked over to see Max, looking tired but still had a smile on his face.
        "Goodmorning sleepy head! Why are you all smiley today?" I said as I grabbed my plate and took it with me to the table.
        "Because I love that room! The bed is so comfy I didnt want to get up" He said while pouring himself some orange juice, still smileing. I laughed a little.
        "Glad you like it!" He nodded with a big grin on his face as he sat down across from me.
        "So do you know if anyone else is up?" I asked. He shook his head still smileing because of that room. I thought maybe he would be used to those kind of rooms because he is famous and all. But I nodded slowly understanding. Then he spoke up.
        "Well atleast I dont know. They could be up admiring their room like I was for awhile when I woke up." I laughed alittle.
        "I thought maybe those rooms wouldnt be a big deal to you guys since you are famous. You should be used to getting nice rooms like those" I said as he looked up at me.
        "Yeah we do get nice room but not as nice as those. Are you like rich?" He finally asked. I smiled and rolled my eyes playfully.
        "Well I wouldnt say rich but we have alot of money. Plus with Tom being in the band and him being my cousin is a bonus." He nodded. 
        "So when do you think the other boys are gonna get up?" I said as I took a bite of my waffles. Just as I asked that our focus was now on the footsteps we could hear coming downstairs.
        "I guess now" Still looking we first saw Siva come down with a smile on his face. Then right behind him....was Nathan.
        "Goodmorning!" I said. My eyes felt glued to him as the thoughts from last night came flooding into my head. I tried not to smile. Then I saw his eyes flicker towards me and I quickly looked down at my plate. Siva came over to sit next to me and Nathan went and sat on the couch, turning on the TV, ignoring my goodmorning. Max noticed and gave me a look. I then gave him a look that said to forget it. And he did.
        "Goodmorning sleep well?" Siva said nicely. I admired how polite he was. 
        "Yes thank you and I can tell you slept well with that smile on your face?" I asked kinda assuming that was the reason. He looked up at me with a bigger smile and nodded. I let out a small giggle. 
        "Im gonna go sit on the couch. You two wanna join?" Max asked getting up about to head over where Nathan was. We both nodded. I got up and cleaned my plate of then took a seat next to Siva on one couch and Max sat next to Nathan on the other. There was an awkward silence so I decided to say something.
        "Sooo the others are still sleeping?" I asked. I obviously knew the answer I just wanted to make things less awkward.
        "Well no one else is down here is there?" Nathan said harshly, looking at me with his eyebrows raised. Wasnt expecting that. He seemed annoyed with me. Siva noticed how he said it and Max seemed to of noticed it too.
        "Oh please dont fight again!" Max yelled out in complaint. We both looked at him. 
        "Well I dont wanna fight. I was just trying to make simple conversation and then he started being an asshole!" Nathan looked over at me. I swear if looks could kill.... I'd die instantly. He was about to say something but then got interrupted when we saw Jay come down. 
        "Hey Jay sleep well?" I yelled out so he could hear me. He came over and sat down on the other side of Nathan and gave me a thumbs up. No smile. I turned to Siva and he brought his mouth to my ear.
        "Hes not a morning person." He whispered. I nodded while making an O with my mouth. I looked back at Jay and he was awkwardly sitting there not looking happy at all. There was an awkward silence again for a moment then Max spoke up.
        "So Tessa you got any plans for today?" Im happy he asked that. I instantly smiled.
        "Yes I do actually Im going out with Harry at 11" Just as I said Harry's name Nathan's head shot towards me. I could see the anger and jealously in his eyes. Why would he be jealous?
        "Harry Styles?" He asked through his teeth.
        "Yeah thats the only Harry I know." He then turned his attention back to the TV. I gave a confused look then I turned my attention to Jay when he started talking.
        "So is it like a date?" He asked. I shook my head.
        "Nah we are just going to the park. He texted me this morning asking me if I was doing anything today and he asked if we could go to the park together at 11. But were just friends" They all nodded except for Nathan who seemed to try and ignore us and what we were talking about. 
        "Thats what they all say" I heard Nathan mumble. I think he said it for no one could hear him but I did. It stayed quiet for awhile while we watched a bunch of shows. And before I knew it, it hit 10:00. 
        "Well I gotta go get ready." I got up and headed upstairs. I went to my bathroom to get ready. I quickly undressed and hopped into the shower. I felt the warm water run down me. I felt instantly relaxed. While I was shampooing my hair, thoughts came to my head. They were about Nathan. First he was a jerk to me. Then, he was so sweet and nice last night and now it seems like he is really annoyed with me. When I was done I got out and dried and straightened my hair, did my makeup, brush my teeth and got dressed. I decided to wear another one of my favorite outfits. Very casual. I had on a white racerback tank top with a black cami underneath, black skinny jeans and to finish my look off, some black flats. I added a necklace and some bracelets.....for many reasons. I took a look in the mirror. I thought I looked pretty good. I grabbed my phone and then headed out of the bathroom and into my room. I checked the time 10:45. Good timing. I was making my way down the hallway when I bumped into something someone. At first I thought I was the one who caught myself but then I noticed there were a pair of arms wrapped around me. I looked up and saw the guy I didnt want and wanted to see. Nathan. I went to go say something but I was speechless as I got lost in his eyes. Then, luckily, he spoke up.
        "Uhh sorry.." He was still looking into my eyes. He just said sorry? Either way I couldnt resist his Gloucester accent. I swear I felt my heart skip a beat.
        "Its fine" We were still looking into eachothers eyes. I managed to keep myself back from leaning in to kiss him. I then noticed his arms were still around me and I still had my hands rest on his shoulders. I didnt want to let go of this moment but I knew I had too. I pulled my hands away while looking down at his arms. He soon got the sign and let go quickly, itching the back of his neck.
        "Umm.... bye" He then walked off quickly. I turned around to see him walk away but then turned my head the other way when he took a second glance back also. Then I made my way downstairs. When I got down there I saw Jay, Siva and Max in the same spots as they were when I left. 
        "Hey is Harry here yet?" I asked. As soon as I asked the doorbell rang. 
        "Yes!" Siva yelled out. I laughed alittle and went to door. Opening it, I saw those brown, lucious curls and green eyes. When he saw me he grinned. 
        "Hi Harry" I said opening the door alittle more so that he can come in. 
        "Hi" He looked me up and down. "You look nice" He said still smileing. 
        "Thanks you too!" Harry looked over at Jay, Siva and Max and waved. They waved back.
        "So Harry are you using that straightener that I bought you?" Jay asked. We all laughed.
        "No cause I know im rockin the curls better then you are" The room filled with O's and everyone laughed, even Jay. 
        "You ready to go?" I asked. He nodded. Then Nathan came down again.
        "Hey Nathan!" Harry said. He stopped and looked over at us. He glared at Harry then went to the kitchen. "Okay then.." He said.
        "Umm.... Guys make sure when Tom and mom wake up... haha that rhymed... make sure you tell them where I went okay?" I said and they all gave thumbs up. 
        "Okay leggo!" Harry grabbed my hand and led me out of the house. For awhile it was quiet between us but then I spoke up...like I always do in an awkward situation.
        "Soo what do you got planned to do at the park? He looked at me with a smirk.
        "Trying to make this situation less awkward?" He asked. I smiled.
        "You know me to well.." I looked down at the ground then I felt Harry's hand on my cheek and pulled me back up to look at him.
        " I also know when somethings wrong...how are those boys treating you?" He asked. This is what I love about Harry. He knows when something wrong. But I cant tell him that Nathans being a total jerk to me.
        "They're treating me fine." When I said the word fine, I noticed my voice starting to crack. Harry noticed and gave me a worried look.
        "Watch out for that Nathan kid. He seems like a real jerk even though in his best bits he is nice and funny." I looked at Harry with a weird look.
        "You watched his best bits?" At this point I was laughing so hard. He still had a serious face.
        "The only reason I did was to see how they act and for I can watch out for you." His voice sounded so sweet and careing. I stopped laughing. I sighed.
        "Nathan is a jerk to me. But hes only a jerk when someone else is around. Cause last night I was in the basement playing piano and singing and he was down there and then we talked and he said I had an amazing voice and then he sang Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars and there was something in his eyes that was trying to tell me something....but im not sure" I explained. Harry nodded.
        "Well if you ever get sick of them you are always welcomed to stay at my place" He said with a smile and a wink. I giggled alittle and looked down at the ground to hide my blushing. 
        We soon arrived at the park. This park is amazing. But the only weird thing about it is that its a cemetary park. There was a park at the entrance and then theres a bunch of roads and hills with graves. It was about the size of a football field, if not bigger. We were heading over to the swings and I had an idea. I stopped in my track and Harry noticed. He turned around and gave me a weird look. I then put my head in my hands and pretended to cry. Must have worked because Harry came right over.
        "Oh my god Tessa are you okay?!" He put his hand on my shoulder and tried to look at my face but I had it covered with my hands. I then looked up at him slowly with an evil grin. 
        "Race you to the swings!!" I yelled and then started sprinting as fast as I could. I for one am not a good runner. I looked behind me and see Harry running after me, quickly catching up and before I knew it I felt arms wrap around me and tackle me to the ground. I looked up to see Harry laying on top of me looking into my eyes. 
        "Revenge time!" He said then he started tickling my stomach.
        "No!! Harry.......stop........tickling.... me!!!" I said through my laughs. I tried squirming away but I couldnt. He then stopped and looked at me. Remembering that he was ticklish too, I went to go tickle him but he caught my arms and held them down before I could and came closer to my face.
        "You thought you could tickle me huh?" He said in sort of a seductive whisper. I stuck my tongue out at him. "Do that again and see what happens." Me being me I stuck my tongue out again but thinking he was gonna grab it I quickly stopped. He smirked. I then felt him lean closer to me. His lips were inches away from mine. "Shouldnt have done that again." He said glancing down at my lips.
        "And whys that?" Right after I said that he instantly closed the gap between us, smashing his lips into mine. Something sparked and made me kiss back. I felt him smile underneath the kiss which made me smile too. Our lips moved in sync together. He licked my lip begging for entrance, but I teased him and wouldnt let him in. He stopped kissing me for a second.
        "Really? Not gonna let me in?" His lips were still hovering over mine. I shook my head, smileing. "Fine be that way." Then he leaned down to kiss me again. But quickly moved my head to side so he kisses my cheek. Suddenly my smile faded and my heart beated faster as I saw someone watching us.....
