Nothing Left To Fear (Book 1 of 2)

Michigan, Here We Come

Brianna’s POV:

You know how in movies whenever the main actor/ actress fly first class and everything is spacious and so clean and comfy? Well I can definitely say that first class is all that and more. There are here rows of seats and they’re split by extremely wide aisles. The seats are like big, fluffy pillows and the greatest part is that you either sit next to the window or the aisle. That’s right, no middle person. Just two comfortable pillow chairs next to each other. I think I’m in love with this chair. Plus, I’m seated next to my lovely sloth boyfriend.

The only uncomfortable part is the dress. I just want to wear jeans and a sweater. What? It’s cold in Michigan. Luckily for me, I packed an outfit into my carry-on. I stood up from my chair but was pulled down. “Where are you going?” You know how I said Nathan’s morning voice was sexy? Well his voice after he wakes up is just as sexy. “To the bathroom. I need to get outta this dress. It’s too uncomfortable when sitting in this heavenly chair.” By the end, I sounded like a whining 5-year-old. “You know…I could help you outta your dress.” I’m quite sure he’s trying to seduce me but who does that on a plane? I’m not having sex on a plane. “It’s ok Nathan. I can handle it.” I shot up from my seat, grabbed my bag, and speed walked to the bathroom.

Surprisingly, the bathroom could fit like six people in it. I locked the door then began to undress. I had to make sure that I didn’t ruin the dress because 1) I wasn’t sure if I could keep it and 2) it was too pretty to ruin. Once the dress was off and neatly folded, I placed it on the counter and then opened my bag. I pulled out my ‘Run DMC’ sweater, pale blue skinny jeans, and my nerd glasses. Don’t judge. I make this look good.

My first mission…is getting my skinny jeans on. It’s not that I’m fat; it’s just that I have big hips and a ‘peachy butt’, according to most guys I’ve met. Normally, it takes me about five minutes and a few jumps to get my jeans on; but this one pair requires about ten minutes, a lot of jumps, and a little stress.

~7 minutes later~

“Why the hell did I buy these jeans?” The things I do for fashion. Luckily, these jeans show off my dancer legs or they so wouldn’t be worth it. I quickly reapplied deodorant, threw on my shoes back on, pulled on my sweater, and grabbed my glasses before nicely placing the dress into my bag. I zipped up my bag, and then headed back to my seat. My bag went into the overhead compartment before I sat back down in the pillow chair. “That took longer than I thought.” I thought he went back to sleep. “Let’s just say that my jeans required more attention.”

At that moment, Nathan’s eyes raked over my body and filled with love and lust. “I’m one lucky guy.” Less than a second later, I’m straddling Nathan. “How are you lucky?” I began playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. “I’m lucky because I get to call you my girlfriend. You have no idea how great you are. Do you know that almost every guy we walk by stares at you?” I shook my head. “Do you know that everything about you is unique?” I shook my head again. “Ok. Do you know that I don’t love you for your body but for your personality?” I get the feeling that I’m gonna be shaking my head more than usual. “Do you know that your eyes are what drew me in?” I raised an eyebrow because that’s not what normally draws guys to me. I’m not being cocky. I’m simply stating a fact.

Unfortunately, my body is always what draws them in but I never fell for it. Many people don’t know this but I’ve only had three boyfriends and the last one took my virginity and then cheated on me with the school’s slut. But I didn’t really care seeing as how she got pregnant and ruined both of their lives. OH! And the best part, her parents sent her away to Texas to live with her aunt and he had to go with her. What can I say? Karma’s a bitch.

Anyway, back to Nathan. “Your eyes are the perfect mix of blue and green. Whenever you’re out in the sun or really happy, they become sea blue with green flecks. Or when it’s dark or you’re angry or determine, they turn sea foam green with a bluish outline around the pupil. Or when you’re mad, they turn a blue so dark that they’re almost black. And finally, when you look at something or someone you love, they become the perfect mix of blue and green, but they have this sparkle to them. So…um…yeah. That’s what got my attention. Aww, he’s so damn cute.

“You wanna know what drew me in Nathan?” He quickly nodded. “Well, if I say your eyes then that would be a lie.” He looked slightly hurt but didn’t let that stop me. “What drew me in were your cheeks.” I know what you’re thinking. ‘That’s so weird Bri.’ but to me, it’s not. “My cheeks?” “Yeah, your cheeks. When we first ran into each other, your cheeks tinted pink and I thought it was the cutest thing. Plus, your pink cheeks plus your cute eyes just made me want to have you. Oh, and when you’re really embarrassed or mad, they turn cherry red. So that’s what drew me in.”

Honestly, this is the first time, since I was six, that I told a guy how I really feel about him. I’m not including my last relationship since it no longer matters to me.

Strangely enough, I told this kid, Alex, that I liked him and then he kissed me. He said that his mommy told him that’s what you do when you like someone. I went home and told my mom what happened and she thought it was cute. But Joe told me that Alex just kissed me because he felt bad for me. That was the first time I cried myself to sleep. The next day, I went to school and avoided Alex but he found me at snack time and was upset that I would talk to him. I kept thinking about what Joe said but forgot about it when Alex shared his cookies with me and then kissed me. From that point on, me and Alex were inseparable. We became best friends and stayed best friends until we went to different colleges. Me in New York and he in California. I don’t know why I told you that but I thought it necessary.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Wait! What were we talking about? Oh yeah! Drawing people in. That sounds sorta creepy but I know you know what I mean. Anywho, yeah, Nathan’s the only guy besides Alex (and he who shall remain nameless) that I told my real feelings to. And honestly, I don’t regret it because in the end I got a best friend and a loving boyfriend. Now all I need is a loving dad and all the important male spots in my life will be filled. Let’s hope my dad’s still in Michigan.

Nathan’s POV:

She spaced out on me. Luckily I’m used to it or this would be awkward. I know that she’s been thinking about her dad a lot but I have a huge surprise for her.
