Denial [ n.s] EDITING

Chapter 53 - "Wifey Material"

Sawyer,

"Does this look alright?" I turn to face Nathan as his eyes divert to the piece of clothing covering my skin. It was a peplum black dress that was over the knees, and was a low V cut. I wouldn't usually opt for dresses but it wouldn't be a little odd to be wearing skinny jeans for a date - for me at least.

His eyes find their way back to mine before he lets out a sigh.

"What? Does it look that bad?" I say, consciously looking at myself once again in the mirror when I felt his arms wrap around me from behind, "damn" he murmured before I faced him.

"Why couldn't you have taken up Hannah's offer on you getting ready at her's? That way, I could've been even more amazed when I picked you up" he says, puckering his pink plump lips.

I swatted his hand, "We're not getting married, duffus! You're allowed to see me, and what i'm wearing"

He sighs before singing, "why you gotta be so ro-od" I only laugh until I hear him whisper something under his breath, "God, I can't wait for that day though"

As I put on a little makeup in the bathroom, my cheeks get red at the thought of Nathan even remotely thinking that I was "wifey-material" cringe. What I meant to say is, I'd never assumed that he would've thought of us getting married someday. Guess I don't need any blusher then!

I walk back into the room to be faced with Nathan, trying oh-so hard to button up the cuffs of his black shirt. I watch him for a few moments, thinking of how I actually got this person and the things I'd do for a dork like him. Ew, cliche.

"Let me help you, you little monkey" i say, fingers slowly brushing his as I button up the sleeves, "All done! That didn't take so long now, did it?" His gaze stays locked at me as his head slowly dips in, our lips inches away from each other before my hand swats his face away, "Save it for the date, Nathaniel"

"You make my life so hard" he groans dramatically.

"Mhmm, sure. That's why you've been staring at my bottom for the past five minutes,"

"Hey," he protests, "it's not my fault that dress helps make your bottom even more fine"

"Looks so fine, you can't just wine and dine"

"Mhmm, that's 'cause we'll be having dessert, in bed" he smirks before my hands cover my face in mortification. Well, he is hella fine and it's about time you let him have a piece of this. I swear I've hit on myself more than I have on guys in my entire life.

We both look down at the menus, eyes darting from each section about twenty three million times. You could say they had a wide array of variety. I mean, it was all in Italian and I could not understand shit.

"Nathan," I whisper, paranoid that somebody sat around us might hear, "what are we doing here?" He places his menu down and cracks a smile, "we're on a date, silly. Don't tell me you're dumping me, oh no." He looks around, "shit, I need to tell the waiter to cancel the cheesecakes with the ring in it!" My eyes are wide. What?

"Babe, i'm kidding. Your face was priceless though!"

"Don't get me wrong, I can't see myself marrying anyone else I just-I mean it's just-"

"Chillax, I get it" his left hand reaches for mine.

"But seriously though, couldn't you have just let me use yelp and we could've gone to some perfecto Mexican place and gotten tacos"

"Lea, this is a d a t e"

"But I do love Italian food so eh, one point papí"

"Aw, sweet cheeks, you didn't have to use another language if you wanted to call me 'daddy'. You could've just said so,"

"If I was your girlfriend, I'd sure as hell let you go," I say, his lips pouting.

"You and Jay are such a great fit, honestly" he laughs before taking a sip out of his glass of wine. I know, having wine makes me feel old too ?? Like, where the beers at, yo??? Jesus, Lea.

"I'm sure I'd love him,"

"Not as much as me though, right?" He asks, consciously, causing me to erupt in a laugh, "whatever helps you sleep at night, dork face"

"Damn, from daddy to dork face"

"You bet that escalated quickly, Nathaniel"
