The Billionares Son

is it any of your business?

"So your saying you think you already have a feeling towards nate?", jules says.

I invited her and lexi over to talk about how I feel about Nate.

"Yes, I know I've only know him for 3 weeks, but I can't help how he makes me feel", I say.

I've selectively decided to leave out the things that happened the other night in Nate's bedroom.

"If im being completely honest...Im not for sure if Nate likes you back.", lexi says.

"What the hell Lexi!", glares jules.

"no its okay...", I say quietly.

"lord dont overreact, what I meant was that nate has only ever had 1 real girlfriend.", lexi explains.

"What?", I say shocked.

"Yeah...", jules says.

Jules and Lexi both look at eachother.

"Nate's girlfriend cheated on him. So he's only ever kissed or made out with anyone else.", lexi says.

"Damn.", I say.

"I also heard, that he's good at having sex", jules says nudging me.

I gasp in shock. "Oh-...I did not know that."

"Well im gonna go home now.", jules yawns through a laugh.

"Yeah. I agree. I'll call this a night.", lexi says.

Jules and Lexi leave, leaving my stunned about everything that has just been said.

I go to Nate's bedroom.

I knock once.

Nothing.

"Nate open up!!", I say knocking again.

I open his door to see he's not in there, but his phone was and it was unlocked on the bed.

"Do not look. Its none of your business Astrid."

I couldn't help myself. I looked at his phone to see he was messaging someone.

Zack?

There messages were dated back all the  way to the day I saw Zack at the party.
(N: for nate. Z: for Zack.

I had to stop reading the messages, my eyes were filled with tears.

"Astrid?", Nate voice fills the room as he walks in.

Thank God I had already set the phone down.

"Are you okay?"

Shit. He must've saw my eyes.

"To think I fucking liked either of you.", I say storming out of his room.

"Wait Astrid whats going on!?", nate says following me.

"Is it any of your business!", I say, hot tears rolling down my cheeks. "I think you already know."

I slam the door in his face, not wanting to see it another second.

NATE'S POV:

I was stunned, what could I have possibly done?

She seemed crushed. I haven't done anything to her. I was on my phone upstairs, then went downstairs to eat.

I come back and she's upset

Oh fuck.

I run into my room to check my phone, my heart drops when I see its still on the screenshots of the fake messages someone had sent to me that zack had photoshopped.

No she thinks its real.

I go to her room and knock.

"Astrid please let me in, I can explain!"

"I dont want your damn explanation Nate!!!"

"But you need my explanation Astrid!", I plead.

Finally she opens the door.

"What actually happened w-"

We hear the butler coming down the hall.

"Quick to the hottub!", I say quickly.

"If were gonna go I want a bathing suit", says Astrid.

I groan and grab her one before going outside through the window.

Once Astrid got changed in the outside and we got in the hottub.

I then explained everything. I showed her the real messages and everything that Zack had said about her.

"im really sorry for being nosy about it nate..", she says quietly.

"its all good, at least you know the truth. "

"yeah...but I have a question for you..", she says.

"shoot it.", I say.

ASTRID'S POV:

I got so nervous to ask about his ex. I figured he didn't want to talk about it.

"Astrid?", nate says.

"What?"

"What were you gonna ask me?"

I blurted out the next thing that I could think of. "Can we go play video games in your room?."

"Sure let's go.", he says getting out of the hottub.
