Guilty As Sin? (Nathan Prescott x reader)

39

Y/n's pov

The week went by quickly and before I knew it it was Friday and I was at the football game waiting for my parents to show up. I was sitting in the bleachers and the game hadn't started yet and it would still be about 20 minutes till it did. I was speaking to Dana, who was finally getting a break from practicing for cheer.

"So you had dinner with the Prescott's now he gets to have dinner with the y/l/n's. Though tonight will play out a lot better than theirs" Dana says. "Yeah, I just hope my mom doesn't cause anything" I tell her. I hear the cheer  coach yell something and Dana says, "ugh I gotta go good luck y/n let me know how it goes"

She then walks away and my phone dings.

Dad: in parking lot
Dad: kind of lost

Me: I'll come find you

I walk to the parking lot looking around for my dad's car. When I finally spot him I run over to him and hug him. "Hey honey" he says. "Hi dad, I can't wait for you and mom to watch the game. People here take football surprisingly seriously considering this is an art school" I tell him and he laughs but then his face changes into a sad look. "Mom won't be coming..." he tells me. "Oh..." I say looking down at the ground. "That's okay it's probably better that way anyway."

We walk back to the football field and find a good seat on the bleachers. A couple of people like Juliet, Hayden, and even Evan come up to us and say hi to me and my dad. Dad and I talked about a lot like school, theater, and he even asked about Drew. Funny how he just randomly came back into my life.

The game ended and we actually won! I could tell my dad was proud of Nathan and that made me really happy, because that's what Nathan needs. When the football players were allowed to leave the field Nathan immediately found us and he kissed me and the shook my dads hand. "It's good to see you again kid" my dad says to Nathan. "You too sir" he replies and I chuckle.

We then get into my dad's car and drive to two whales. "That throw you did sure was impressive" my dad says to Nathan. The smile on Nathan's face reminded me of a little kid. For most of the car ride they talked about football and for the first time I think Nathan was actually happy to talk about it. Though I dreaded the conversation I was happy they were having it.

We walk inside and sit in our usual booth. Nathan sits beside me and my dad across from us. "So Nathan, will you be in the play this year?" My dad asks. "Yeah, my dad makes me." Nathan says. "Ah, well what's the play?" My dad asks. "Dear Jack, dear Louise it's about two people who meet by writing letters during World War Two. Mr Keaton talked to me the other day and asked me if I wanted to audition and be both an actor and a prop manager." I tell them.

"You didn't tell me that" Nathan says. "Well I'm still thinking about it..." I shrug. Just in time Joyce comes over and takes our order. "Yknow I really like this town, it's not like back home at all" my dad says. "I agree it's very beautiful but...it has its downsides" I tell him. Nathan remains silent, probably because he has nothing good to say about this place.

The rest of the dinner was good. We all talked a lot and I loved how well Nathan and my dad got along. When we were all done Nathan offered to pay but my dad wouldn't let that happen. We all go to the car and my dad drives us back to Blackwell. "I'd love to see some of your photos Nathan." My dad says which surprised me, he's never been into photography. "Uh sure I can show you my portfolio sometime" Nathan replies.

When we get to Blackwell my dad parks. We all get out and I hug my dad bye, and my dad even hugs Nathan bye. Which I know Nathan appreciated. We watched as my dad drove away. "Sooo?" I say to Nathan. He grabs my hand and we begin walking hand in hand to his dorm. "That was... really nice. I thought your mom was coming?" He says. "She changed her mind...again."  I reply.

"I'm sorry" he says. "It's okay, probably better that way anyway." "Hey, the photos from the beach are done wanna see?" He asks.

"Yes please!" I tell him. He leads me to his dorm and we go inside his room. When we get inside he goes over to his desks and grabs the printed picture. He walks back over to me and hands them to me. "Woah Nathan...these are beautiful" I say as I trace my finger on them. He pulls me into a kiss and say, "I think that's all you"
