I was standing by the kitchen counter, making Nathan and myself some dinner when I heard footsteps my way.
It was Nath and he didn't say a word to me! He got a cup from one of the cupboards and started making himself some Tea. While the kettle was boiling I felt his eyes on me. When I looked up he immediately turned away and pretended to be in deep thoughts. I couldn't help but smile.
His water had boiled in a few minutes and he walked out with his Tea. I was a little sad at his behavior. He was acting like a very moody teenager and I wasn't digging it too much!
I walked out with our food and set it on the table. I put Nath's food on his plate and then served for myself! Gracie's food was already in her bowl but she kept scratching my leg like something was annoying her!
"Gracie! Your foods there!" I said as I pointed to her spot. She let out a little cat's grump and slowly walked away.
Soon Nathan got into the room and sat down at his place. He looked at me for a second before digging into his food. We both ate in silence and it was so awkward. Normally we would chat about our day or something funny. Today was a whole new thing.
My phone started ringing by the side. The caller ID flashed my mom's face on the screen. I saw Nathan give me an angry glare but then I ignored him and answered the call anyway.
"Hello"
"Eve? Is nathan there? Could I talk to him sweetie?" She asked nicely.
"Erm... mum, Nath's not here!" I said down the line. Nathan gave me a confused expression.
"Oh. Ok then. I'll talk to you later. Bye." She replied and hung up. I was confused about why my mother wanted to talk to Nathan all of a sudden!
"What was all that about??" Nathan interrupted my thought.
"She wanted to talk to you, and I know you don't want to talk to her. So I lied!" I shrugged my shoulders.
"Oh..." He let out and continued eating. I had finished so I got up and started getting the dishes into the dish washer.
Nathan came in shortly with his plate. He put it in the sink and stayed there.
"I can do it on my own." I said.
"I know." He replied.
"Then why are you still standing in here?" I asked confused.
"I wanted to tell you that I am sorry" he whispered loud enough for me to hear.
"What for?" I asked
"For being a horrible person to you. Look Eve, I don't know how to say this, but I have a bad feeling about your mother. I am not staying this because she tried to kill me. But because I feel something different about her." He explained. He was saying the truth. I trusted him. And I have been having a weird feeling around my mother as well.
"I know Nathan. But there's nothing I can do now right? And I am sure she's not going to cause us any harm. She's my mother and I know she wouldn't hurt me." I comforted him. He looked disappointed again. He nodded and walked off. Everybody around me was acting awkward now.
My mother was acting like a whole new person after I turned her. Anna avoids talking to me as much as she can. Nathan acts like he wants to tell me something very important but then ends up just walking away.
As soon as I finished all the work in the kitchen, I walked out to see Nathan watching a soccer match on the Telly. I sat down next to him. He didn't move nor look at me. To be honest I was a little offended. I don't see how anything of what was happening was actually my fault.
"Nath, is there something you want to tell me?" I broke the silence between us.
"No." He said bluntly, not taking his eyes off the television.
"If you want to tell me something, then just say it sweetie! I trust you no matter what! You're the only person I truly trust!" I said taking his hand in mine.
He pulled it out immediately and a little harshly. "I don't have anything to say Eve. If you would just leave me alone." He shouted at me. I was a little taken aback. I slowly got up and left.
I got into our bed and pushed my head into the pillow. Everything was such a disaster. Nathan was simply fuming at me for no reason whatsoever. It was a little painful. And his little outburst broke my heart.
"I'm sorry!" I heard someone whisper by the door. I turned around to see a very guilty looking Nathan. "I didn't mean to shout. It just happened." He said softly.
I ignored him and continued to my old position. I felt him climb onto the bed and his arms slowly snaked around my waist. I put my hand over his and intertwined our fingers.
"You mean the whole world to me, and if I ever lose you.." He began but I cut him off.
"You will never lose me. My mother, even if she tried, couldn't break us apart. So don't be scared." I replied as I turned to look at him.
He rubbed my cheek with his thumb and gave me a little smile. I leaned in and pecked his lips before returning to my old position and falling asleep.
