Getting Played

23. Nightmares in Florida

1 week later
Nathan and Kali just got to their hotel room in Florida.

"What do you want to do first Kal?" He asked.

"Maybe just unpack first?" I suggested. "Sure, you can have the top two drawers of the dresser and I'll have the bottom two." Nathan smiled.

I nodded my head and began to unpack my clothes.

30 minutes later we had everything unpacked and we were both laying on the ground trying to decide what to do.

Nathan brought his wrist up to his face, looked at the Michael Kors watch that I had gotten him for Christmas to check the time.

"It's 5:45." Nathan said. "We should go to the arcade." I said half joking.

Nathan jumped up. "Yeah!" He yelled. "I'm was just joking Nathan." I laughed.

"I'm not, lets go!" He smiled widely. He offered his hand, I reluctantly took it and he helped me up.

"I need to change." I said. "Why? You look fine." He rolled his eyes. "I wore this to bed last night, I feel gross." I opened up my drawer and picked out an outfit.

I walked into the bathroom and slipped on a pair of black leggings, a black tank top and a white, grey and black windbreaker.

I'm getting good with only being able to live my every day life with only one hand. I get my cast off in one week and I couldn't be happier.

I walked out of the bathroom and put my clothes in the suitcase. "You ready now?" He asked.

I nodded my head and smiled.

We grabbed out stuff, walked out of the hotel room and made our way downstairs towards the arcade.

"Come on Kali, it's 10:45 we have to go now. They were suppose to close the arcade up 15 minutes ago." Nathan grabbed me by my waist and tried pulling me away from the arcade machine.

"No, I almost had it that time." I gripped onto the handle bar and made sure Nathan couldn't pull me away from the game.

Sadly Nathan is stronger than me, by a lot.

He threw me over his shoulder and made his way out of the arcade room.

"You little motherfucker." I scowled. "You'll get over it." He shrugged.

"We have to get to bed Kali, we have a long day tomorrow." Nathan said.

"Fine." I crossed my arms and patiently waited till we arrived at our room.

Nathan walked in the hotel room and laid me down onto the bed. "Would you like some company tonight?" He asked.

"Sure," I shrugged.

He seemed hesitant, but then laid down on the bed. I kicked him in his back making him fall in the ground. "I wasn't talking about you!" I laughed.

He popped up from the ground with a frown on his face. His perfectly gelled hair was now falling in his face, coving his eyes. "You're rude." He pouted.

"You'll be fine." I shrugged.

I got up off the bed and grabbed my stuff that was needed for a shower. "I would ask if you want company in your shower but I'm pretty sure you'd give me a rude answer." Nathan sighed. "So what I'm gonna do instead..." He trailed off.

I turned around and saw him smirking at me. "What?" I asked. He ran over towards me, pushed me down onto the bed and ran into the bathroom.

"Nate!" I yelled. I rolled off of the bed, ran towards the bathroom and ended up running into the door and falling down.

Nathan opened the bathroom door, looked down at me and started laughing.

"Nathan it's not funny, it really hurt." I whined.

"Shit, I'm sorry Kali." Nathan bent down on his knees and helped me up.

"Where does it hurt?" He asked. "Everywhere." I frowned.

"Maybe I could kiss it better," he smirked. "First can I have some water?" I asked.

"Of course." He smiled and went to go grab a bottle of water from the fridge.

This was the moment.

I grabbed my stuff off of the bed and ran into the bathroom...locking the door behind me.

Nathan pounded his fist against the door. "Kali, you shitface open the door." He chuckled.

"I have to take a shower!" I yelled as I turned the shower on.

"I'll get you back Kal." He yelled back.

***

I stepped out of he shower and wrapped a towel around myself. I checked my phone and saw I was in there for about an hour.

I got dressed, hung my towel up and exited the bathroom.

I set used clothes in the suitcase and looked over and saw Nathan passed out on his bed.

I walked over to his bed and put a blanket over him.

I guess we're sleeping now.

I plugged my phone in and crawled into bed.

***

I jumped out of my bed and looked around the room. Nathan was on his stomach breathing heavily into his pillow.

"Nathan?" I asked.

Nothing.

I got up and made my way over to his bed. "Nathan? You okay?" I asked.

He let out a groan, as if he was in pain.

I sat down on the bed and shook his shoulders a bit.

Nathan jumped up and looked over at me. Tears were rolling down his face.

"Nathan? You're crying." I asked more as a statement.

He wiped his face and looked over at me.

"Go back to bed Kal." He whispered. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing, go back to bed." He said. I shook my head. "No. What's the matter?" I asked.

"Just a bad dream. I'm fine." He reassured.

"Fine, I'll go back to bed." I got under Nathan's covers and laid down next to him.

"In your own bed Kal." He said.

"No."

"Fine." He laid back down and moved away from me.

I scooted closer to him and closed my eyes.

Once again he moved away from me.

"Fine, be that way." I huffed and scooted back to the side of the bed.

Minutes later Nathan sighed and moved back closer to me and pulled me towards his chest.

"I'm okay Kal, I promise." He whispered.
