Something More Than Roommates? -Nate Parker (The Tide)

part 9

*Jasmines pov*

For the rest of the night we sat watching chick flicks to cheer me up.
It didn't really work but they tried.

"Im going to head off bed. Night" I say as I get off the couch, moving Nates arm from around me.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Nate asks, looking concerned.

"Um, sure." I say.

I do like Nate. He is really caring. I could see that he was genuinely upset earlier.

"Are you okay Jas?" He asks following me to my room.

"I could be better. But im sure I'll be alright tomorrow." I say, putting on a fake smile, hoping he won't notice.

"Jas, I know that's not a genuine smile. Your eyes aren't sparkling." he says bringing a piece of my hair to behind my ear.

"Im sorry" I say sighing.

"It's Okay, maybe we should get some rest. Today was a busy day for both of us"

"Thanks for helping me Nate." I say to him.

"Its okay. If you need anything just call. Night."

"Night Nate"

*next morning*

There's a faint knock at my door.

"Come in" I say.

Nate pushes the door open, slowly.

"Hey." He says.

I smile.

"How are you today?" He asks, sitting down beside me.

"I feel a bit better."

"Aw good. Oh and get ready, im taking you out today." He says as he leaves.

What?
He's taking me out?
Do I wear casual clothes or do I go fancy?
Great help Nate.

"Naaaate" I shout.

"Yess" I hear him say as he pops his head around the door.

"What do I wear?"

"Go casual. But cover up, it's quite cold."

"Thank you. Oh are the boys coming?"

"Nope" He says as he leaves.

Oh.
Alone with Nate.
I kinda want to kiss him again.
No Jas stop.

I pick out my high-waisted skinny jeans, my grey knitted jumper, my combat boots, my parka and my checked scarf.
I don't put on much make up, just a light layer of foundation and mascara.
I do my hair up in a bun. I should leave it down to keep my ears warm but it's windy outside so it wouldn't make much difference.

I walk into the kitchen to see four boys staring at me.

"Wow" Nate says.

"Could say the same about you" I say laughing at his black ripped jeans and superdry jacket.

"You ready to go?"

"Yeah, hold on, let me grab something to eat on the way."

"Oh don't bother, we'll get food when we get there."

Ooh where are them two going?
