More than Friends

Chapter 3

"I love you."

------------
Noa's POV

The next morning I wake up and check my phone. I look over at Nate who is peacefully sleeping while a small smile is on his face. I smile and walk to my bathroom. I put my iPod in the speaker and start to play my shower playlist. I hop in the shower and the first song that comes on is California by Jack and Jack. I let out a small laugh. I start to sing along.
"Dreaming California. One way ticket cause I had to show ya. Flow so sick make you catch pneumonia."

"Cute." I hear someone say. I drop my razor. I peak out the curtain and see a very amused Nate. "Fuck you." I say laughing. "When?" He says smirking. "In your dreams skathan. Leave." I say seriously but my face shows a small smirk. He nods and leaves. I finish up my shower and wrap a towel on my body. I stare at myself in the mirror. I look at my face, then I look up at my hair. I notice a small bruise on my cheek. 'Nate will flip!' I think. I frown and walk out of the bathroom with my head low. Nate notices and immediately speaks up. "Noa what's wrong?" He says worriedly. I look up at him shocked. He never calls me Noa. It's usually princess or something along the lines of that. He must be really worried. A tear slips from my eye and I spill everything. Explaining ever detail. How Aidan hit me, how I heard Nate tell me he loves me. I finish and I take a deep breath. He looks at me with the saddest look I have ever seen him have. "I will kill that bastard." Nate says while standing up. My eyes go wide and I pull his arm down. "Nate no!" I say. He looks down at me and frowns. His anger turns to nervousness. "You heard me last night." He says quietly while looking down. "Yes Nate." I felt bad. But I never took the time to realize my feelings towards him. "I'm sorry Noa. It's always been there. I have always loved you. I knew you'd never feel the same so that's why I never brought it up. I'm sorry." He says. He starts to cry and I immediately feel guilty. "Nate no it's okay. I promise." He continues to look down. I sigh and raise his chin so he's looking at me. We look into each others eyes and I felt something. Something I have never felt before. I saw the lust in his eyes and I'm pretty sure I had the same look in my eye. I did something I never thought I'd do. I leaned in and started to kiss him. The feeling was indescribable. Fireworks and butterfly's exploded inside my body. He pulled away and a small smile appeared on his face. The same happened to me. It wasn't awkward after. It was wonderful. I knew my feelings now. I had major feelings for Nate. Something I've always known I had but tried to push them down expecting him not to feel the same. We cuddled and watched Netflix. It was a great day.

Somewhere around lunch time
Nate's POV

The kiss was great. I never expected anything like that to happen. I was happy the rest of the day. Around lunch time I decided to make lunch. I looked over at Noa who was focused on a book. I smiled and walked downstairs. I decided on her favorite sandwich. I made two and brought them back upstairs. She looked up at me when I walked through the door and smiled and when she looked down at my hands her smile grew wider. "YES NATE I LOVE YOU!" She said and then frowned. Realizing it has a different meaning to me. I put the plates down and walked over to her. She stood up and hugged me. I was shocked not expecting that but I hugged back. Embracing this amazing human being. She pulled away and said something I never expected.

"I love you Nathan."
