Chapter 52 - Dorky British Boy

Chapter fifty two

Sawyer,

~

"So, what's up with you, Mister 'I'm Not Stressed but I Sure As Hell Look Flipping Stressed'?" I nudged him in the shoulder, "If it's about the distance, Nathan.."

"No, no that's not it" his gaze diverted from the TV screen to me. "I'm just overthinking things, y'know?" he sighs.

"Anything I could do to help?" he shakes his head yet lets out a half-smile a little later, "Well, about the distance thing.." I shifted from my previous position on the couch, my face now faced with his, "I believe in us. I know everybody says that distance never works and there's always miscommunication and just.." I sigh. "I know we can do it, I genuinely think we can, because I'm insanely in love with you and I can't imagine feeling the same way towards any guy that isn't you, Nathan."

"I love you, so much" his fingers lace with mine, "You're the first person I've ever loved like this, Sawyer Lea Scott, and I'll do anything in my power to make sure that you're the last, believe me"

"One thing though, I still love Nate Archibald more than you," I grin.

"Way too ruin the moment, Sawyer"

"Ew, don't call me that, Nathaniel" I say, shoving a pillow in his face or, attempting to. I swear this boy claimed he didn't work out but crap, he's strong. 

Of course, I'd never say that to his face.

"It's your name, you munchkin! Unlike Nathaniel which isn't my name" 

"Po-ta-toe, po-ta-to, Sykes" I retort before reaching out to grab the popcorn from his lap. We'd been sat her watching movies for an unreasonable amount of time and we were barely even paying attention for half of it. 

It was a quarter to three and I couldn't possibly feel more shitty. I suppose all the healthy eating was starting to catch up to me. For once, I knew I wasn't going to survive with pizza or some sort of fast food for dinner. Shocker, Lea.

"Hey, dork face!"  I pinch him in the arm, catching his attention, "What'd you want for dinner?"

"Actually," Oh no, not this. What was this dorky British boy planning to do to me.. "I was thinking we could go somewhere y'know, fancy,"

"Fancy?" I snort, "Wait, is that English people talk for 'a date?'"

"Yes, munchkin. Now, would you like to go on a date with me, Sawyer Lea Scott, or shall I just ask one of your friends instead?"

I jab him in the side with my elbow, "That's for what you just said," I do it once again, "and that's for uttering my oh-so-not-embarrassing full name twice in the past 5 minutes"

"Harsh." he rolls his adorable green eyes, "but is that a yes or.."

"Well, I'm kind of very sick of fast food so I shall take you up on the opportunity to get some fancy food"

"Right, the food. Not because you adore me and love me to bits or anything.."

"Watch out, Sykes. Your heads starting to go far up your ass.."

Nathan,

It's been almost an hour into this movie and I couldn't possibly be more bored. Lea decided on going shopping with Hannah before our date tonight and practically forced me to stay in. I'm not kidding, she actually pushed me away from the front door. I figured a few movies would help kill the time but everything's just going so slowly without her here. Was this how it was going to be once I went back? God, I hope not.

I decide to pick up my phone and text Lea since I wasn't sure if she'd be able to actually talk. Knowing her, she's probably uninterested in all the things Hannah suggests. I mean, shopping wasn't even Lea's idea. Her best friend--Hannah insisted on going out since Lea's quote-on-quote worn everything a bazillion and three times.

Me: Hi, munchkin. How's shopping?

Girlfriend: oh my god

Girlfriend: i hate dresses
