You know those weird high school girl moments you have where you tear your closet apart trying to find the right outfit for a guy who is probably only taking you to McDonald's? Well I'm having one of those rare moments! Why? I have no fucking idea! I hardly even know the guy, I mean yeah he brought me an amazing lasagne which I devoured within minutes and yeah he got my suitcase for me so why am I feeling so, so, Argg? It must have been the food and the pregnancy, I was reading a pregnancy book last week saying intense sexual attractions and needs is a common thing. Well I guess he is like super hot and has adorable sexy chocolate eyes. Omfg stop! You are a pregnant woman who just asked a man who is attractive, very attractive! To help you. Deep breathes.

Eventually giving up and not caring what I look like I flung on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a reasonably baggy black hoodie with my favourite pair of ankle boots. My hair was previously in a messy bun so Fuck it!

Dashing down the stairs reality set in. Holy shit, I'm going to be getting into a car by myself with Nathan Beauchamp! I've heard some pretty raunchy stuff about him from Kate since he's her nephew and he's the son of a wealthy lawyer also know as a player. Oh Lord! Standing in the hallway my mind was racing.

Should I wait outside or let him come to the door? I don't know how to live like a normal human being, I spent the past 2 weeks obsessing over Harry Potter Fanfics!

The low growl of a car approaching the house sent goose bumps over my skin. He's here! I can do this! Grabbing my handbag I wait patiently for any sign of movement. A door closing and foot steps coming to the door made me want to hide myself in the cupboard under the stairs. Seriously? Far to much Harry Potter.

A light knock in the door startled me until my feet moved, opening it wide, he stood casually, his hands in the pockets of his dark jeans.
"Good evening Isabelle!" Oh Lord that voice. Clearing my throat I managed to speak.
"H-hi, I hope I'm not bothering you but thank you for giving me a ride!" I slipped out the door locking it behind me. Nathan had already moved to his car.
"Jaguar F-Type, V8 sport! I'm sorry but this car is gorgeous!" I blushed, why did I have to talk about the car? Idiot! Nathan looked shocked, I've blown it. I think there might be some ice cream in the fridge calling my name!
"Wow, I've never known a woman to know the model of my car" He opened the passenger door for me, don't blush! Crap, why does my body betray me so?
"Sorry, I may have binged watched Top Gear on YouTube! I don't do much." Sliding into the passenger seat, the interior was red leather and wood trimmings with the traditional Jag logo on the gear lever. I could almost cry.
"So you like the car?" He questioned hopping in and starting the car up. The V8 engine rumbled to life. An unexpected shiver shook me. I hope he didn't see that!
"It's honestly the most beautiful car I have ever see!" I gushed running my hands over the seat in awe. Omg stop, your probably creeping him out!
"Finally I've found someone with a passion for cars!" He joked as we took off down the drive way.

"So, we're going to the grocery store then pizza and movie at your place?" He questioned. Wow he's fast. Should I say yes? Uh dah!
"Uh yeah sure but your buying!" He cocked an eyebrow before I gave him my best smirk. His laughter filled the car as we drove down the winding streets.

Pulling into the parking lot of the store I jumped out and grabbed a trolley.
"Here let me take that!" He took the trolley off me not leaving me much of a choice.
"So tell me about you Miss Crane?" Cut to the chase much.
"It's a very long story are you sure you have the time?" I asked, my eyes scanned the aisle, cans, cans and more cans of baked beans well you don't have to ask me twice. Grabbing 3 cans I place it onto the trolley.
"I have all the time in the world, I'll buy the ice cream as well if you tell me! Could you grab me a couple please." He gestured to the beans. Placing them in the trolley I separate the trolley in half. Half his, half mine.
"Why do you want to know?"
"Curiosity killed the man!" He laughed heartedly earning a death glare from a passing soccer mum. As she turned the corner Nathan clicked his fingers and waved his hand in the air.
"What was that?" I chocked on my laughter. I continued walking down collecting random products off the shelves.
"It's a new thing the kids do these days! It's called being 'sassy'." Wiggling his eyebrows seductively.
"WOW!"

Turning into the chocolate and cookie aisle I almost screamed with delight. Cravings were a bitch!
"So how's the pregnancy?" He asked hurrying behind me. I turned around my arms full of kinder chocolate and ginger nut cookies.
"It okay! I'm just constantly hungry, tired, have weird dreams and need to pee a lot." His eyes were wide as he pushed the trolley over to me.
"Ginger nut biscuits?" His raised his eyebrows making me let out a cringe worthy snort. Oh no, i did not just snort? It was like an intense stare off. I was frozen in embarrassment and he was frozen in trying not to laugh making him look slightly constipated.
Dumping my arms full into the trolley I ran. Why? Because that was the most embarrassing experience in my whole life. I needed to hide! I felt so free around him, it's hard to explain but snorting in front of him is an absolute no-no!

How the hell was I supposed to explain myself? Distracting my embarrassment with the ice cream selection I see Nathan out of the corner of my eye. He looked frantic! Aww adorable, he's worried. No stop! He was about to laugh at you. Remember straight face and silent treatment. The sound of running footsteps approach me as two hands grab my arms twirling me around. I had a tub of cookie dough ice cream in one hand and a tub of vanilla in the other.
"Don't ever do that again!" His voice was raspy as he attempted to catch his breath. Those beautiful golden eyes staring painfully into my dull green ones.
"You don't need to be embarrassed around me, anyway I thought it was kinda cute!" His nose crinkled slightly as he gave me a reassuring smile.
"Really? That was the most embarrassing moment in my entire life." I whispered, the feeling of his hands on my arms searing into my flesh.
"It was cute but just don't run away, now come on I'm starving!" He moved away, with me following like a lost puppy. We finished the shopping with casual jokes and constant bickering. It was like I had known him for years. I expected him to be more uptight. What if he's only being like this because he found out I was loaded? How would he know though? Kate hasn't told anyone, I haven't told anyone! Maybe he generally like me?
