Chapter 5

Chapter 5 (Tatum's POV)

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME?

I picked up the clothes on my floor and brought them into the laundry room. I took out the load of clothes in the washer and moved them into the dryer. I walked back into my room and put on my pajamas. It was around 10:30 and I was cleaning up my room before I go to bed. 

"Night, mom!" I said as I walked into the kitchen quickly to grab a sip of water. 

She hummed in response .

I set my cup down on my nightstand and was about to get into my bed there was a weird noise.

'TAP TAP TAP'

I whipped my head around my room trying to find what the noise was.

'TAP TAP TAP'

I looked around room until my eyes landed on my window and I saw a familiar face waiting at the window. My eyes widened and I rushed over to open the window that sat right above my bed. 

"Steve Harrington! What the hell are you doing here?" I whisper.

He cracks a smile and tries to push himself into my window, "I'm here to see the girl I love most." 

A loud thud followed him as he fell onto my bed. Even though I just got back to Hawkins it was almost as if we were dating, but we weren't. Am I the only one who is confused?

"Well you can't be here." I scold quietly. Although I still let him in. 

Steve picked up a teddy bear and frowned, "Bad Steve." He said holding up the bear. 

I roll my eyes but a huge grin my face still showed, "You are an idiot, Steve Harrington." 

"Yeah, but I'm your idiot." He says.

Steve grabs my hand and leaves a small kiss just above my knuckles. 

"I broke up with Nancy today, like officially." Steve admits. 

"Good, but bad. I mean I fell awful for her, but she deserves to be with the person she wants." I speak.  Steve grabs my hand again and holds it tight. 

"Tatum! Who you talking to?" My mother yells from outside my door. 

I hop off my bed and shove Steve into my closet with a panic. I open my bedroom door,                 "I'm not talking to anyone." I lie. 

My mom opens my door wider and glares at me, then closes the door with another goodnight. I sigh as I open my closet door. 

"Close one." Steve teases as he opens my closet door.

I punch his arm playfully. I sit back down on my bed and Steve sits down as well. We sat in silence for a little, but Steve quickly leaned in to kiss me. I place my hands in the back of his hair and he slowly pushed me down on the bed. 

"Are you crazy..? My mom is here." I said slighly out of breathe.

Steve looked around the room, "Thats weird I dont see her.."

Steve continued to kiss me, but I pulled away.

"Ok, well, listen.. as much as I love this.. it won't work." I say. 

"What? Wait, what.do you mean?" Steve asks.

I sigh, "I don't know, I just feel bad. I mean, we already discussed that Nancy likes Jonathan, but I mean this seems a little fucked up. Like I just jumped straight into a relationship as soon as ypu and Nancy broke up." 

"Well, screw Nancy! I..  I wanna be with you." Steve says.

"Ok, but we have to take this slow. We can't just jump into something, and no labels." I suggest

Steve nods sadly, "I'll just go. We can figure this out another day or something." 

I nod as well, "Can you apologize to Nancy too? Sorry, I just feel bad for her. I mean you like kinda cheated on her with me." 

"You have no idea what Nancy has put me through. I get that you 2 are bestfriends but that gives her no excuse to play with my heart." Steve whisper shouts. He opens the window a little wider and crawls planning on the grass harshly.

"Holy shit, are you ok Steven?" I giggle.

He smiles, "Yes I am, and I am still mad at Nancy, but I love you!" 

"Sure.. and exactly how much do you love me?" I joke.

"To the moon and back." Steve says, shuffling back onto his feet. 

I scoff at the remark and close my window as Steve blows me a kiss.

I plop down on my bed, staring up at the ceiling, wondering how a boy could love me so much. People are kinda weird that way. I started to doze off as my thoughts began to slow down.

 "Goodnight." I said to the picture frame of my father. 

A/N: Sorry that it took me so long to post this chapter, but with Thanksgiving and all that stuff I was just a little busy.
