Temptation: Nate Maloley Fanfiction

Chapter 27

"Uhm, Jack?" I ask. He looked up in response. "Who's the other bed for?"

He looked to the ground. "Oh, uhm... I didn't wanna tell you this right away" he rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "but I'll be staying here as well." When he finished, he looked up to see my reaction.
"What?" I asked in disbelief. I was honestly relieved because he would take some of the awkward tension out of this whole situation.
"They knew California wouldnt be good for me, so they had me come back here to keep an eye on you while going to college" he explained.
I had nothing to say. It was cool that he'd be staying with me, but in the same room? Was it necessary? And what if he tries to get it... I'm with Nate now... its different... does he know that?
"I'm with Nate now, you know that right? So we can't..." i avoided saying the last part as flashbacks ran through my mind.
"In my parents house? Couldn't imagine it" he laughed. What a relief. "Now go to sleep, we have a big day tomorrow."
"Why? What are we doing?" I asked curiously.
"Catching up on your..." he looked me up and down, "wardrobe." He smiled. I couldn't help but laugh realizing I've been wearing the same clothes for weeks now.
"Okay but let me shower first" I said. "Can I wear something of yours? Like a t shirt or something?" He nodded and went to his suitcase already on the ground and pulled out a black t shirt. He tossed it to me and I thanked him, then went into the bathroom to shower.
As I was undressing Gilinsky comes in. I nervously covered my body and he laughs.
"You act like I haven't already seen every inch of you" he said and I blushed.
"It's different now" i say sheepishly.
"Haha okay whatever" he says tossing me a towel. "You'll need this" he said. I felt stupid knowing that's why he came in.
"Oh, thanks" I said as he left. I showered then put on his t shirt. The familiar smell reminded me of his infamous parties. It's crazy how far I've come from them. But if it weren't for them I'd never have met Nate and wouldn't be in this mess anyways. So for that I'm thankful.
I slowly opened the door and crept into my bed. Only thing was, it wasnt my bed i curled up into.
"I'm right here" Gilinsky mumbled.
"Oh my god! I'm sorry!" I exclaimed as I got up, but his hands grabbed my waist and pulled me back down.
"No, stay. You should have company on your first night" he said. I was feeling lonely, but decided to make this as innocent as possible.
"K G, night" I said.
"Good night Katie. Sweet dreams" he replied.

"Hey lil mama where are you going?" Nate asked. I looked ahead of me and saw gilinsky leading me by the hand in a different direction but I didnt know where he was taking me.
"I- I dont know" i said desperately trying to escape Gilinskys grip. I knew i couldn't though. He led me into a big house and chained me to the kitchen.
"Stay here" he told me. I didn't have much of a choice did I?

I woke from mydream with a shudder. I had to get out; tonight. I slowly lifted his arm from around me and tried getting off ths bed as quitely as possible. After successfully getting off, I slipped my shoes on and tiptoed to the door.
How would I open it without waking him up? I slowly put my hand on the handle and turned it as slow as i could manage. When it was opened I tiptoed out and past the Gilinskys' bedroom before heading toward the front door. I opened it and quickly escaped.
I was free. I didn't know what to do so I ran. I ran as long as I could until I was out of breath.
What was i doing? I had no plan. Where would I go? Michigan was too far to run. I had nowhere. I looked around at all the unfamiliarity with such uncertainty. I turned to head back to Gilinsky's house.
I snuck back into the house and curled up to Gilinsky again, depressed but glad I had somewhere to sleep.
