Love Will Find a Way

Love Will Find a Way (3)

Chapter 3

Brent's P.O.V.

I hate that guy more than anything in this world. Natalie is now scared for life and I can't touch her until she eventually gets over it. I know that she says she's fine but I know that whenever I touch her she will just think about that guy and then she will never want to see me again and it will ruin all my chances with her. I mean I know there are 'other fish in the sea' but for some reason I just can't stop thinking about her. I've liked her since I was 21 which was 2 years ago. But then I was forced to stop when she started dating Rick a year later. But since they're not together anymore, I can have her. I know it sounds kind of selfish but it's not my fault that it didn't work out between them. I just hope that Natalie thinks the same way about me.

Natalie's P.O.V.

We were walking out of the mall and to Ethan's car. I was thinking about the past 5 minutes. How come I didn't run? I knew better than that! And then when his slimy hands were all over my body. Even just thinking about it now makes me want to puke. And then I remembered Brent coming to the rescue. I know it sounds cheesy but it's true, he's my hero. I would have probably died if it wasn't for him. And then remembering the scariest look on Brent's face. He had so much anger and when he punched the guy, I heard cracks and other noises so I knew that he had a lot of broken bones. But why did he look so angry? I mean what that guy did was completely sick and he deserved that but why did he look like that? Maybe he felt the need to protect me. But why? Maybe he feels like I'm a little sister to him since we grew up together. I don't know.

My thoughts were interrupted when Brent whispered in my ear, "Are you sure you are okay?" He was so close and his breath tickled my ear. Forcing me to move a little away from him. When I looked at him, he was angry. Why was he angry? Maybe he thought I was sensitive to what that guy did so that's why I scooted away from him. But why would he care?

I hated seeing him mad so I moved closer to him. Then I did something that surprised me a lot. I faked a yawn and rested my head on his chest and nodded my head in agreement to his question. After I did that, I felt retarded. Why did I just do that? What was I thinking? I'm invading his space!

I was about to move when he put his hand on my back comforting me. Telling me that he was perfectly fine with that. I couldn't help but smile. Why did I smile? Do I like him? Oh shut up conscience! Enjoy the moment! And with that, I drifted off to sleep taking in his delicious aroma of a woodsy smell. Maybe I hadn't faked the yawn after all.

Brent's P.O.V.

 "Are you sure you are okay?" I whispered into her ear. I was really close to her so it didn't surprise me that she scooted away.

I haven't hated that guy more. Now I can't even get close to her! I guess I thought wrong because she moved closer and put her head on my chest and nodded, answering my question. I was so shocked at first but then I came back to reality and put my arm on her back. Eventually falling asleep.

"Hey, Ethan, I think your sister likes Brent!" Jackson said. He was sitting on the other side of Natalie so he probably saw the whole thing.

"How do you know?" He asked turning around from driving. "Oh yeah she totally does!?" He said smiling at me.

Really? She liked me? Oh he's probably just saying that. But I still had hope that it was true.

"ETHAN! WATCH THE ROAD!" Alex yelled from the passenger seat. Ethan looked back just in time before he went to the other side of the road.

"Whoa! What's going on?" Natalie asked. She must have woken up from Ethan swerving.

"Sorry." He called back.

Then she turned to look at me. She still hadn't moved her head. "And how did I end up here?" She smirked then got up. I couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Awww! I liked it when you were there." I smirked back.

She stuck her tongue out at me like a little kid. If only she knew I wasn't lying.

The car came to a stop and I looked out to see Natalie's house again. "Are we staying here again?" I asked.

"If it's okay with Natalie." Ethan replied.

"Yeah no problem. I need some company anyway." She smiled.

We got inside the house and Natalie went and got 3 sleeping bags and then told us that one of us had to sleep in the guest bed upstairs. I called it and ran upstairs.Natalie came up after me.

"Here I need to clean this room up for you." She said starting to clean stuff up.

I've never been up her before out of all the times I came over here. I started helping her clean up then I asked with a smirk. "Where are you sleeping so, you know, if I get lonely at night." I added a little wink.

Natalie's P.O.V.

"Where are you sleeping so, you know, if I get lonely at night." He smirked and gave me a wink. It made my heart flutter in my chest.

But then I started to mess with him. I said with my most serious face I could manage, "I'm sleeping in here with you. Didn't you know that?"

He choked a little. "Oh well then this is going to be one heck of a night." He smirked which made my heart flip.

I smacked his arm. "I was joking! Unless you really wanted me to." I added with a flirty smile.

"Oh trust me I really want you to but I wouldn't want to break your innocent little heart." he said sarcastically.

"Oh please." I scoffed and finished picking stuff up. Then he started pressing his body against mine. Normally I would have flipped out just because I was almost raped today but I knew I was safe with him.

I backed away though. He kept getting closer and closer for every step I took back. Then I hit the wall with no escape left. He put his arms on either side of my shoulders. Now his crystal blue eyes were only inches away from mine. Then I saw his eyes look down to my lips. He was going to kiss me! Wait what if I still taste like that old guy? Ew that would be disgusting. Oh shut up and just kiss him! I leaned in now our lips were barely apart. I closed my eyes. So ready for this.

"What is taking you guys so long? We've been-" Alex stopped once he saw what we were doing. It was pretty obvious. "Oh sorry you guys can... umm... finish... I didn't mean to..."

"No it's fine we weren't doing anything." I said nudging Brent away so I could move. "I was just finishing up so we could join you guys." I said with a smile.

"Okay." Alex said then quickly left.

I looked back at Brent who looked so disappointed like he had screwed things up. So I added,

"We will finish where we left off later." Then I left the room with no other words.
