Spade (MxM)

Chapter 80

"What are you doing here"? Nate asked the shock evident in his voice and his face, as he looked Spade over

Leaning his back away from the car, Spade's eyes were fixated on Nate's whole appearance, he was back to wearing suits, it made him look older and less scared and lost, but he still looked just as handsome, with pink pouty lips, that were parted in the middle

"Matteo told me about your car problem this morning" Spade said taking a step close to him "since I was partly the cause of it, I decided to come pick you up from work"

Nate's face quickly morphed into more confusion, and unanswered questions, uncertainty and curiosity swirling in his eyes.
His cheeks quickly coated red as he suddenly got flustered, not meeting Spade's gaze
"Where are you headed"? Spade asked

"Home"

"Come on, let me take you"

Nate quickly shook his head, flustered with his cheeks puffing out and the pale skin there turning completely red
"No, no uhhh.. I don't wanna impose, I can just take a cab"

"I'm not asking" his voice grew lower and more commanding, leaving no room for Nate to oppose as he swallowed hard, meekly looking up at Spade, seeing the same commanding look in his eyes, something told Nate that he wouldn't give up easily "just take it as an apology for not telling you about your car" he muttered more gently and softly

He lowered his head, before letting out a deep breath, looking up at Spade again, the man looked really sincere and honest.
"Okay" he muttered

Spade opened the door on his side and watched as Nate gingerly walked over to the other side of the car, opening the door and stepping inside.
Spade entered the car and shut the door, he looked over at Nate, he'd already buckled up, Spade did the same

He started the car and drove away from the building, into the busy roads, heading downtown towards Nate's apartment building
He shifted his attention from the road again and faced Nate, he was seated on the edge of the seat, his eyes moving back and forth the dashboard.

"About the car issue..." Spade drawled out, Nate's eyes sharply moved to rest on him "apparently the police had already gotten to it before Matteo" he watched as Nate's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets

"You mean the police have my car in custody" he asked almost as if he didn't believe it, he could feel his body start heating up, anxiety was slowly clawing through his whole body, his veins, his chest was caving in

This was bad, he can't be on the police radar, if his father got wind of it, he would kill him
He was beginning to take in shallow breaths.

Spade noticed the way he suddenly moved from calm to nervous, he looked at Nate's hands and they were shaking, he was sweating, suddenly his face had broken into a cold sweat, as he was struggling to breath

Spade quickly slowed down the car, he couldn't stop because he was in the middle of the road but he just reduced the speed at which he was moving before.
"Hey hey, look at me, it's okay, it's nothing" he tried to reassure him, to distract him from his obvious break down
"Nate focus on my voice and breath, nothing is going to happen, I got it covered okay" he rushed out momentarily moving his gaze from the road to Nate

Who was trying to keep his breathing steady as he took in huge gulps of air, it's not like he was having a panic attack, it's just what he heard was freaking him out
"You're okay, it's okay" Spade cooed gently as his eyes found Nate's hands and they were no longer shaking, he held them both together as his breathing slowed down too.

He swallowed hard and looked up at Spade.
"You good"?

He nodded his head, seeing the calm in Spade's eyes, it only made him more relaxed, as he took in a deep breath and let it out again, the sweat in his palms had almost dried up
