Chapter Six

✎Nathan

Okay, so I might've freaked out. I can't believe I pretty much ran away from Sarah the other day at the café but my mind was all over the place. I had to get out of there!

I couldn't shake the feeling that she might have been a little right. I haven't been with anyone other than her and I was 24 years old. At this point, she had been my only experience ~ ever. 

And that same person was sitting there telling me they didn't want me anymore. Hell yeah, I panicked!

The truth is, I feel so lost. Without Sarah, what am I? I was nothing before her...will I be nothing after her, as well? 

"Hey, Nathan. Everything okay?" My boss slinks in behind me at my desk. 

"Hey, James." I breathed out. "I guess I'm not feeling too well." I rubbed my temples with my fingers in circular motions to try and ease something. I feel pain and stress everywhere.

"Oh no, that's no good." James crept closer in behind me and started massaging my back. I immediately tensed under his touch. Is that even legal for him to be doing that?

His hard touch felt amazing on my shoulder blades but I'd rather die than let out a moan.

"Uh- thanks, James." I shifted in my seat. James wasn't a bad-looking guy but he was my boss. 

I'm also not gay.

Even if I was, I can honestly say I would prefer my boss to not be so open about hitting on me. This is 100% awkward. 

"How about you take today off, hm? It's Thursday so it's the perfect time for you to take tomorrow and the weekend to feel better." He said rolling his knuckles up and down my back. 

"Seriously?" I breathed a little too moan-like in my opinion. 

"Yeah, of course. We've got this handled here." He moved his hands back to my shoulders and gave them both a tight squeeze. "We want you back here feeling healthy and strong." 

I gave him a curt smile. "Yeah, okay. I'll do that." He walked away and I immediately felt better. I'm going to have to figure that whole situation out at some point...but not right now.

Packing up my things and heading out from my desk, I got a notification on my phone. I forgot I had set up my notifications on Instagram to ping me whenever Sarah had posted a new photo. 

This one was just posted in Toronto. 

My heart dropped. She's gone like that, already? 

It's a cute photo of herself on a bicycle riding downtown in the city. She looks so happy. 

I feel my heart drop as I take in the fact that she's really gone. 

Without thinking too hard on it, I immediately search up flights to Toronto.

Sarah says she wants me to live more. Well, I want to live with her. 

Toronto is only a 2 hour flight from here. I'm never spontaneous and this could be exactly what she needs in order to feel just how good of an option I am for her. 

I want her to finally take me seriously. 

So, I book the flight. Looks like I've got the afternoon to go home and pack.
