Sweet Pretender - Nathan Sykes Love Story

Chapter 6 - Change of heart

The next morning when I woke up, Nathan's strong pair of arms were still holding me securely. I turned around to see him smiling at me.

"Morning." I said as I rolled his arms off of me. I didn't want him getting any more close to me. I think the last few days, I've let him do enough and more. It was high time he learnt his place.

"You sleep like a baby." He commented.

"Well thanks. Babies are cute!" I shrugged as I got up from bed.

"Whatever." He said as he got up as well. I walked into the bathroom to do my everyday morning activities. He went into another one, as this house was massive. Literally, it was massive.

Once I was done with the bathroom, I walked into the kitchen. I wasn't really expecting any food there, but then as I looked through the cupboards, it was stacked with my favourite items. I knew who did this, and how much I wanted to hug him at that moment.

I grabbed my phone and decided to text him to send my warm regards.

"Love you for the food Jay! Thank you!! x - Kiara"

"No problem Kiara! - Jay" He replied almost instantly.

I heard Nathan's footsteps and I immediately hid my phone. He couldn't doubt me or the lads in anyway. He rubbed his head and walked to the kettle to flick it on. I sat by the counter, with my fresh waffles and strawberry jam. They were so yummy! Nathan sat next to me shortly with his cup of tea.

"Did you have a good sleep?" He asked.

"Yes." I nodded. "you?" I asked.

"Yeah it was ok. Other than the fact that you kept kicking me in the night." He chuckled.

"Well, I never asked you to sleep next to me." I shrugged.

"You're so different this morning." He narrowed his eyes at me.

"I know Nathan. I know."

"Are you mad at me?" He asked sadly.

"Well maybe I am a little sad that I'm not at home right now." I lied. Hell, I was enjoying this place so much! Except for the fact that Nathan was there. I wasn't the biggest fan of his.

"I'll get you out of here as soon as I can, I promise." He said as his voice got low.

"I don't want you here alone." I replied. He smiled softly as he leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to mine. It was weird, that I didn't want to pull away this time. It was all weird, that Nathan wasn't the same guy I met in the beginning. He was far more nicer, and far more loving.

Something about him, made my heart beat faster. I quickly pushed him off me and jumped off the stool. I ran into the living room and started crying. I didn't know why I was crying! But I was crying. I didn't want Nathan anymore closer to me. He was starting to really piss me off. But at the same time, my feelings about him were changing. Changing in a not wanted way. I've never felt this way around anyone before.

"Kiara I'm sorry." Nathan said as he tried getting closer.

"Please go." I cried.

"I didn't mean to upset you. I'm so sorry." He said trying to rub my back but I hit his hand away.

"You have a girlfriend? How could you?" I screeched, trying to make up a false tale for why I'm upset. Obviously, I had ignored the fact that Nathan had kissed me multiple times before.

"She's not my girlfriend." He said angrily.

"Just go Nathan." I cried more. He got up silently and headed upstairs to his room. I knew at that point, that it was going to be hard to face Nathan ever again. My whole mission was going to be such a success! Note the sarcasm!

Hours passed and I was sat in the living room reading a book I found in the house. It wasn't very interesting but I needed something to kill time. Nathan came down and we had a little eye contact. He gave me a weak smile which I returned nicely. Even though I hated him from the bottom of my heart, something about him was making me change my thoughts on him. His gentleness and his subtleness was making me rethink all the bad things I think of him to be. At first I thought he was a proper player, but then now, it doesn't seem that way.

He grabbed food from the kitchen and was about to head upstairs. I stopped him in his tracks as I called his name.

"I just wanted you to forget about everything that happened this morning." I began talking.

"Got it." He nodded.

"I'm sorry if I was rude.." I said.

"No. I'm sorry for kissing you.. I shouldn't have. I'm sorry." He whispered.

"It's ok. But don't do this to your girlfriend Nathan. She deserves much better." I told him.

"She's not my girlfriend!" He said angrily. I remembered him saying that earlier in the morning as well.

"Why do you say she's your girlfriend then?" I asked.

"Because she is so annoying and irritating and clingy! Kiara trust me! I don't want to have a girlfriend who sleeps around with other people. She still wants me around only when her other buddies are not available for her pleasure. I don't like her.." He said his voice getting low. I patted the spot next me, encouraging him to sit.

"She meant the whole world to me. You have no idea. She was the first girl I had learnt to love. But she turned into my worst nightmare. She would sleep with guys even when I was home. And every time I ended the relationship, she would come back crying without giving me piece of mine." He spoke sadly.

"I know, I sound stupid. I know I should have left her long back. But it's not easy as people think it is. That girl is not normal." He said almost tearing up. I placed my hand on his back and gently rubbed it for comfort.

"You're not stupid Nathan. I know what you feel like." I said.

"Have you been cheated on before?" He asked.

"No. I've never felt 'love' before" I replied.

He gave me a confused expression and then let it go. What Nathan had told me, proved that all I had thought about him was wrong. He may not be nicest lad in the bunch, but he definitely is a genuine lad. That was for sure. But I couldn't get too close to him either, considering the face that he is a part of my mission.

"Kiara.." He began.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I don't want to get too personal, but how did those marks form on your body?" He asked. I froze for a second. He still remembered that I had scars on my body. That showed that he truly cared about them or me.

"I just.. erm.. fell." I lied! It was evident in my tone of speech.

"I know you're lying, but if you don't want to tell me, that is ok!" He smiled.

"I will tell you someday Nathan.. Just not today." I spoke.

 Do you think Kiara will ever tell him??? Ooo and Kiara's feelings for Nath are changing! Go NATH!

Yes, and I'm very happy for Nathan and Dionne. They looked extremely happy in each other's company and we should take a moment to appreciate that.

Anyway, back to the chapter! Please comment on how you thought this was. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I need feedback!
