Roommates

Chapter Eight

Nate's POV
Kate and I get on so well it's crazy. For our first date two days ago I brought her to the cinema just to prevent any awkwardness because well let's face it I was nervous as fuck. But me being the most organised person in the world (note my sarcasm) forgot to bring my wallet so despite her insisting that she would pay we ended up in a playground where we talked about our childhood memories.
As it turns out her mom used to take her here every Saturday after visiting her grandmother who only lived down the road but after she died they stopped coming back.
We played twenty questions and I pushed her on the swings for a while. she asked if I wanted a go but trying to seem very manly I used the excuse that men don't swing on swings but she wasn't convinced and laughed. I feel so bad that I it all didn't go to plan because she was probably bored as fuck. Thankfully she has agreed to go on another date with me soon.
Hopefully I won't fuck it up again.
The apartment is alive with the sound of music as Drew, Austin, Levi and I are doing writing session and Bree's in the kitchen making lasagna. Unfortunately though i think writers block has hit us hard. We're all sitting on the floor, Austin and Drew have their guitars and are currently trying out random cords and Levi is flipping through pages in his notebook with a look of concentration on his face. Fed up with trying to write something myself I check in with Levi.
"Have you still got nothing?" The look on his face tells me he's hiding something.
"You do don't ya? Well let me see." I try to get the notebook but he pulls it out of my reach.
"Why won't you show me?" This catches the attention of the others and they put down their guitars.
"It's personal and I don't know if I want you guys to hear it yet."
"Just tell us what the songs about."
He leaves out a sigh of defeat.
"The song is about Bree." WOW, now that's something I didn't expect! He likes her!
"So you like her?" Drew asks but it's pretty obvious that's the case.
"And she obviously doesn't know since she's going on a date with Brad-" Austin begins but Drew punches him hard in the arm to shut him up.
"i don't want her to know, she seems to really like him and I don't want this to ruin our friendship. Promise me that you won't tell her."
After we promise he lets us have a look at the lyrics and it's pretty clear that it's not just some schoolboy crush, the poor guy. If only she just knew.
"This is great work Levi, hopefully she'll get to hear it sometime. She'll love it." I say, trying to give him some positivity and hope.
"I really don't think she will..."
Before we could say anything we hear a knock on the door. Levi quickly grabs his notebook and hides it before Bree walks in. She has her long hair in a ponytail and a 'Kiss the chef' apron, which is covered in sauce over a Guns n' Roses tank top and a black pencil skirt.
"What are you guys up to? How are you guys getting on with the song writing?" She questions with a smile on her face. If only she knew...
"Nothing, the writing session's a failure...Is dinner ready?" It's amazing how he can just turn a switch and act so differently to the lovesick teenage boy the boys and I got to see just seconds ago.
She nods and he quickly jumps up and walks behind her to the kitchen to get some food leaving Drew, Austin and I looking on in amazement and shock.
