Love Me Like You Do// n.g.

i think so

Natalie's POV

It's 2:37am, on a school night, and I'm still trying to figure out three things. One, why the hell did my sister text me. Two, who the fuck gave her my number. Three, what does she want from me. Obviously, I was not going to respond until I figure this all out. I was fighting the urge to call Nash but it was pretty clear that I wasn't going to get a goodnight's sleep until I talked to someone. As bad as I felt about it, I found myself dialing Nash's number. Hopefully he would calm me down enough for me to go to sleep. After two rings, he picked up. N=Nash, N=Natalie.

N: Hello?

N: Hey Nash, did I wake you?

N: Oh no, you didn't. What's up Natalie?

N: Well I can't really sleep because I received a text from my sister..

N: Oh, did she tell you why she texted you?

N: No, and I think that's what's bugging me the most.

N: Well do you want me to come over or maybe we can hang out tomorrow and talk about it.

N: No, I don't wanna get you in trouble, so we can just hang out at Sweet Frog tomorrow.

N: Okay, goodnight beautiful get some sleep.

N: Goodnight, you too.

I hung up and was 10 times calmer than I was earlier, which meant I was definitely able to sleep now. Nash called me beautiful, I don't think I'll ever stop replaying that in my head. I crawled back under my covers and laid down. I closed my eyes and fell asleep with a smile on my face because I realized something. And that something was that

I think I like Nash.

Nash's POV

I woke up this morning feeling really happy and excited. Happy because I kind of flirted with Natalie last night, and excited because we pretty much have a date this afternoon. Before I got out of bed I checked the time and saw it was 6:45. So I sent Natalie a text telling her to be ready by 7:45 because I wanted to get us breakfast at Starbucks.

She responded instantly by saying
Natalie👑: okay :)

After finally getting out of bed, I went into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. Then I turned on my shower and took off my boxers that I slept in. I washed my hair and body while thinking about the situation with Natalie. No, not the thing with her sister, but my feelings for her. She made me feel like I had to be the best person ever which I guess was good. I couldn't tell Cam about these feelings because he might just kill me.

I think I like her but I don't know. I've only known her for a few days but we've talked so much and I've learned so much about her. While I was thinking about her it never occurred to me that I needed to end my shower and get dressed. So there I was almost jumping out of the shower, drying my hair, and throwing on some random Adidas joggers and a MAGCON t-shirt.

I put on my black and white vans then I grabbed my phone to check the time. It was 7:32 so I needed to hurry, I silently praised myself for packing my backpack the night before. I checked myself one last time in the mirror before grabbing my keys and walking out of the door.

When I pulled up to Natalie's house, I took a couple minutes to figure out how I was going to greet her. It sounds stupid but she made really nervous. Once I was ready, I texted her and told her I was outside.

Natalie's POV

I woke up this morning with the same smile on my face because I still couldn't believe Nash called me beautiful. A few minutes after I woke up I got a text from Nash that said;
Nash☺: be ready by 7:45 because I want to get us breakfast at Starbucks :)
