Nate aka arsehole's POV

*i know I do hate my characters too! I'm that weird... (awkward silence) okay much awaited POV for me! forever alone...

--------------------------------------------------

Cara's been very distant lately. It's not like I care about her, I don't. Well... not anymore. I continued staring at her with her not knowing. I want to know what she's thinking about, If she's okay. I don't want her to keep secrets from me.

Hypocrite.

Whatever. But no matter how I tell myself that I don't care about her, I know deep inside me I do and I think that will never change.

She's the same Cara, who helped when I fell to depression when Jade cheated on me. She helped me pass through it. I really thought life had no meaning during that time but she opened my eyes and made me realize that everything happens for a reason. I really enjoyed our time together, sometimes when our professor in college is busy discussing, I would find myself dreaming about my future and it always has Cara in it. And when I finally asked her hand in marriage in front of our family. I became the happiest man in the world. I still remember my parents and her parents reaction they had tears in their eyes. And it was the first time I saw The Sam Doncaster, my father smile at me proudly. He always loved Cara. He never liked Jade. Dad's usually cold to people. But he would always smile when he's with Cara, he always treat her like his own daughter and I was okay with that.

Every night before I go to sleep I always find myself, daydreaming about Cara and I's future. As sappy as it sounds but sometimes I do think about making my own family with Cara. That's the reason why I bought a house for Cara and I after graduating in college. To start our family in that two-story house. Cara was the one who decorated the house, she thinks that I hate it because I act as if I do. But secretly I love it very much. I do love Cara, she's perfect every guy envy me and I do know Anton, likes or even loves her but obviously she's too oblivious about it and that's just adds up to why she's perfect.

Then why cheat on her? Why go back to Jade when she cheated on you with your ex bestfriend! You know what they say Nate, "Don't lose the love of your life to the whore of the night." You'll regret this and for christ's sake you are marrying her tomorrow! Fix it while you can Nate or you'll regret it. I promise.

I frowned at my subconscious and thought about it. I really am stupid.

Everything's too damn confusing!

"Honey, is everything alright?" My mom asked her, she always liked her and even scold me when I don't offer her a seat and all. I hope she'll forgive me if she finds out that I've been cheating on Cara. I mentally cringe at that. I was brought out of my thinking when I notice Cara spacing out. She looked around and saw that everybody in the table were looking at her worriedly and she blushed.

"I-I-I'm sorry. I was just thinking...about things. I'm really sorry, please continue with your conversation. Excuse me, I'm just gonna go to the restroom." She smiled and stood up to head to the restroom.

She was halfway through the restroom when my grandma said, "Nate is she pregnant?" I knew the answer right away, she couldn't be because we haven't done anything and I respect her decision that she'll only do it after marriage. "She isn't going to be pregnant anytime soon, grandma." My grandma raised her eyebrow and it seemed like she was thinking. I didn't pay much attention to it and followed Cara.

Before she even got to go inside I touched her shoulder in which she jumped a little. Even when going to the cr she's spacing out.

"You've been spacing out a lot lately, Car. Is everything alright?" I chuckled lightly.

"Yeah. I'm okay, Nate." she smiled and began turning around but not before stopping her. I don't know why but I feel uneasy, it's like something's about to happen. And to be honest, it's scaring me.

"Car, you've been very distant lately. Are you sure you're okay?"I said frowning not bothering to show how bothered I am.

"Yes. I told you. I'm okay, Nate. It's just that there are a lot of things on my mind right now. But, I'm fine. You know I'm always fine." The thought of her knowing my affair with Jade crossed my mind but I dismissed it, it's impossible. Cara trusts me too much that I wouldn't cheat on her.

You're an idiot. Really now? Yes, for letting go of a girl who's been with you through everything. Who saw you at your worst and actually stayed. Who has been loyal to you even when you weren't. Who actually loves you for you and not because of your riches. You're an idiot.

Well shit. I felt guilty. Very guilty. But I shook it off.

"Car-" She didn't let me finish and that's when I saw how tired she looked. Has she been getting sleep? It's our wedding day tomorrow for pete's sake. Who would get sleep when she knows her fiance's go homes later than 12?

"Nate, please. I'm tired. I've been distant because... I'm obviously busy planning our honeymoon... yeah our honeymoon. So, please excuse me and I'll be going inside the restroom and go home afterwards. You obviously, are going to your Bachelor party. and I'm not in the mood to go to my bridal shower. I'll go outside shortly, okay?" I didn't believe her but I brushed it off.

She removed my hand from her shoulder and smiled at me. Oh, how lovely she looked when she smiles. She gave me a small kiss on my cheek and finally pushed her way inside the restroom not bothering giving me a glance. I touched the spot where her soft lips kissed me and touched it. I felt tingly. Oh shit, I sound like a love sick fool. That's cause you are. I shook my head to clear of my mind and went back to the table.

"Car, are you okay now?" My dad asked her gently. I didn't eve notice her approaching until dad popped the question of the century.

"Yeah, Unc-Dad" Cara quickly corrected herself when my dad gave her a glare which I know was fake since he couldn't stop laughing after hearing her reply. "I'm fine. But, I'm just gonna call it a night. I'm pretty tired but please continue this dinner. I'm really sorry for ruining it-"

"Oh, Honey it's fine. I know you're tired or excited for the wedding tomorrow! You need your beauty sleep, right? Wouldn't want you to look like a zombie on your wedding day." My mom said and Cara laughed and it wasn't fake, I can see it when her eyes twinkle. Never have I ever realized how beautiful she really is until now. Wow, I really am an idiot.

"Of course, Mom." my mom stuck her tongue out at her and she laughed again.

"Yeah, well goodnight guys. I'm gonna head home. See you guys." She kissed them all goodbye and was about to head to the door when I got up.

"Car, I'll just bring you-" I offered quicky, I didn't know what came in me. She quickly shook her head. "No. Nate, please I can manage. Bye, see you I guess."

"No. Car, I insist-" She held her hand to stop me and gave me a small smile. She looked very tired.

"Nate, please I can manage and I don't want you to go back again to go to your bachelor party. After dinner you can head straight to you bachelor party. Okay?" She raised her eyebrow at me and I started to protest until she kissed me.

HOLY CRAP. How I missed kissing her. I can hear our family giggling and laughing but Cara didn't seem to realize it. And Well that shut me up. That mind blowing kiss made my body tingly.

"There, that shut you up. I told you I can manage. Okay? Bye, Nate. See you!" She laughed, she pinched my cheek which I blinked at and looked at her. She gave me a cheeky smile and kissed my cheek. She turned around and opened the door stepped out but not before looking at me. She stuck her tongue out, smiled at me and said, "Bye Nate, I love you." before heading outside.

She went inside her car and when I couldn't see her car anymore I whispered to the night, "See you Car, I love you too."
