Love Me Like You Do// n.g.

love is in the air

Naya's POV

It was around 7pm when I got a text from Natalie that read "Nash and I have a date on Friday." I'm happy for her but I don't want her to get hurt again. I mean sure Nash seemed like a nice guy and I've known him since 9th grade but he might mess up like Cameron did. I asked Sam how he felt about it since he was in the same room as me.

It isn't irregular for Sam and I to be at eachother's houses this late. We've been best friends since the third grade but recently I've had some feelings for him that were more than friendly. No not sexual ones YA NASTY but I've started viewing him as more than a friend. Anyways, back to the situation with Nash and Natalie.

Sam told me he would question Nash about the date, and see if he likes her for the right reasons. Which reassured me but that didn't mean I was going to let my guard down. After a while, my mom said that it was getting late and Sam had to go home. We used to be able to have sleepovers but our moms decided that after we turned 13 it was considered inapropriate.

I walked him to the door and told him to text me when he got home. He told me he would and we hugged goodbye. I closed my front door and went downstairs to my room. It was kinda of cool to have my room in the basement because it was huge and I practically had a whole floor to myself. I walked into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. Having braces when I was 13 really did pay off because as snobby as it sounds my teeth were beautiful.

Anyways, I changed into my fuzzy batman pajama bottoms and a black tank top. I put my hair in a messy bun put then went onto tumblr. When I hit the reblogging limit I closed the app and saw that Sam texted me a few minutes ago. I told him goodnight before I plugged my phone in, locked it and went to sleep.

Sam's POV

While I was over at Naya's house, Natalie sent us both a text saying "Nash and I have a date on Friday." Naya seemed a little on edge about the whole thing. She told me that she didn't want Natalie to get her heartbroken again, so I told her I would question Nash tomorrow. Naya was my best friend and I would do anything for her but I've had the biggest crush on her since 10th grade.

She was so down to earth, funny, kind, courageous, spontaneous, (don't even get me started on how beautiful she was I could go on for years.). Since 10th grade I saw that she was the perfect girl for me and I really wanted to tell her. Soon her mom told me I had to leave which kind of made me sad because I just wanted to cuddle with her and watch Netflix all night.

Naya walked me to the door and told me to text her when I got home. We hugged goodbye and I started my walk home. The whole way there, Naya was on my mind. I want to plan an original way to ask her out but I don't know how. I'm pretty sure Natalie would know so I'll have to talk to her this week. In a few minutes I arrived at my house and went to my room. I texted Naya and told her I was home and waited for her response that said "Naya😍: Okay goodnight" . She was most likely asleep by now so I decided not to respond. I fell asleep with the girl of my dreams on my mind.

Natalie's POV

Today was Thursday which meant that tomorrow was my date with Nash. I was currently at cheer tryouts after school with Naya but she wasn't trying out, she was hosting them. The requirements were simple, well for me. You had to be able to do a back handspring, kartwheel, splits, round-off, foward tuck and a toe-touch. These tasks were pretty easy since I've done gymnastics and cheering most of my life.

The new cheer team would be posted tomorrow when homeroom ended. It didn't bother me if I made it or not because I could always join other sports and clubs. We went back into the locker rooms so we could change and go home. But this one girl, I think her name was Nicole and she kept giving me these dirty looks like I ate the last french fry. I don't know what her deal was but she was making me uncomfortable.

Naya came into the locker room just when I was ready to go. We walked out and I drove us home, I didn't really like to drive but I could. I stopped at Chick Fil A and got some food because I forgot how much cheering worked up an appetite. Eventually, we pulled up to Naya's house and I got out and gave her the keys. It was her car but she didn't feel like driving (lazyy). 

I walked next door to my house and I got a facetime call from Sam. After accepting it, the first thing I heard was "How do I ask out Naya". At first I thought he was joking but when I saw the look on his face I knew this was serious. "Well you should definitely take her somewhere outdoors and quiet," I started. "Then tell her how you feel about her and why, then you ask her," I say but then add "But say 'will you be my girlfriend' not 'will you go out with me', it makes it more special." I explained. "Okay thank you for the tips Nat," He said "You're welcome, I have to go bye," I said "Bye," he waved. Then we hung up.

I was so glad that Sam and Naya would potentially be dating. It was so adorable and cliche because they're best friends that may fall in love. Soon after that call, Nash texted me telling me to wear something comfortable and to not eat dinner before our date tomorrow. I replied with a simple okay before going upstairs and showering. After that, I changed into my white Nike pros and an oversized t-shirt. I did my homework and fell asleep with Nash on my mind.

Sam's POV

School was over for the day and I had to go question Nash like I told Naya I would. When I got to Nash's house I texted him and asked him if he could come outside. He said okay so I sat down on his front porch. I was only sitting there for a few seconds before I heard his front door open.

"Hey what did you wanna talk about?" he asked me. "I wanted to make sure you don't break Natalie's heart too," I said calmly. "I won't man I swear." he said but that wasn't enough. "Why do like her so much?" I told him. This better be good or I'm leaving.

 "Well when I'm around her I feel like I can do anything and I feel like I have to be the best me I can be. Her smile is the brightest and most beautiful smile in this universe. Her laugh gives me chills, but the good kind. She is absolutely stunning and she genuinely cares for everyone. I love how strong she is considering her past. Oh and wh-" I cut him off with a laugh, "Well it's obvious that you're feelings are strong for Natalie, so I trust you." I said. "Oh, thanks bro." he said with a smile. "I'll see you later," I said before turning around and walking home. I was too tired to tell Naya what he said so it would have to wait until tomorrow, when I claim my love for her.
