The Torturous Life of a High Schooler

Chapter 19

*I stood up before he started to walk away, connecting my lips with his.*

*Nevaeh's POV*

Our lips molded and moved together perfectly. Once they touched, I could feel something I couldn't when I kissed Ansel. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his around my waist.

It's something I know we had been waiting for for a while. Though I was with/was crushing on Ansel for 4-ish years, I have had feelings for Nathan for like 6.

It didn't get heated or anything, we just stood there cherishing it. He pulled away and disconnected the contact we had.

"I told you I'd make you pay." I smirked at him.

"Well, I'll be willing to pay that price as often as I can." He pecked my nose.

I heard an 'aww' from behind us and turned to find the source. I saw Sophia and Liam looking at us and I saw my dad's face on Liam's phone. I guess they were Skyping. Dad looked gobsmacked. I hope he isn't mad at me.

"I thought it'd never happen." Dad smiled. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"What the hell? What do you mean?" Nathan was confused.Dad cussed under his breath. We looked at them expectantly.

"Well, we were like playing with your minds, trying to set you up."Liam said. Nathan and I laughed.

"We didn't need your help, but thanks." I pointed out.

"Sorry, but we need to be excused, BurgerFi is calling me." Nathan said and tugged my hand.

Our parents let us be excused and we walked to the restaurant. It's a really casual burger place near our school. Once we sat down and our food was delivered it was about 6:45 in the evening. We just talked about meaningless stuff the whole time.

When we left we walked by this unmarked white van. I'm a very cautious person, so I thought we should walk a fair distance away from it, but Nathan assured me he'd protect me if anything happened and grabbed my hand.

While we walked by, we could hear Rock Me by One Direction playing in the car and we started cracking up. As we kept moving, the vehicle followed us. We waited at a crosswalk for the little go signal and some creepy guy came out of the van that had parked right next to us on the curb. He started asking weird questions and tried to touch me a couple times. He reached out to us again and caught my arm, pulling us closer to him.

In year 5, we learned about stranger danger and stuff and the lady told us to not scream 'Help' or 'Fire' or something, she said scream something really random and stupid so people turn their heads to look at you.

"Help!" Nathan screamed. I made eye contact with him and shook my head. The guy was carrying us to the van.

"Holy mama llama with chocolate fudge sauce and sprinkles! It's One Direction!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I gotta thank Kat for that one, she was saying something on a group text and it somehow included the mama llama thing. I just added One Direction because like, who wouldn't look for that?

"What? Really? Where?" The guy dropped us and started looking around.

"Nowhere idiot." I mumbled and we ran towards the police station, he started following us, but then stopped when he realized where we were headed. We got a cab and went back to the Payne house, since it'd take a while to walk.

In the car Nathan decided to set his hand on my thigh. I pushed it off, but I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't enjoy it a bit. On the ride back, Dad texted me and said once I got there we had to go straight home. I answered him and gave my attention back to Nathan.

"My dad says he'll pick me up from your house when we get there since we have school tomorrow." I told him, looking into his beautiful chocolate brown eyes.

"Okay, but we have one thing to do when we get there." I nodded my head.

The guy stopped in front of Nathan's driveway. We payed and went inside. I texted Dad telling him we're here and he said he'd be here soon.

"Okay, my dad will be here in like 5-10 minutes, whatever shall we do in that amount of time?" I asked innocently.

"I don't know, whatever do couples our age do after first dates normally?" He attempted to sound endearing, and it worked.

"I have an idea. You might need to give me payback for." I smirked.

"Okay! A proper snog it is!" He had a goofy smile.

"How do you know I didn't mean this?" I pushed him off of the couch and fell on top of him causing him to groan. When I heard Theo's voice coming near the living room I leaned down and kissed him. It got a bit heated by the time I heard a shriek. There's Theo!

That ended in Theo getting really creeped out and us explaining what happened. I then went home with Dad and I was giddy all night long.
