A small ticking sound woke me. My eyes opened slightly adjusting to the morning sun gleaming through the windows. The clock on the wall, that's what woke me up! The soft ticking sound being the only noise in the room. Snuggling closer into the cozy warmth. A small movement startled me. What the? Flinging my eyes open once again I turn my body around. Oh god I fell asleep on Nathan! Why didn't he move? Why didn't he go home? He was still fast asleep, the morning glow dancing along his features like some kind of torturing show. His high cheek bones and messed up brown hair that was sticking up in every direction made my mind tumble. God he was so adorable.
His arm was lightly wrapped around my waist. My little bubble of a stomach was pressed against the side of his leg. The thought of waking up to him made my heart flutter in anticipation. I could definitely get used to this. My way of thinking has changed completely since I came here. I've been thinking positively and accepting people into my life. I'm sick of being alone! I know what Chris did to me and I would never let that happen again but that doesn't mean I couldnt try to be happy with somebody else.
I could have lay here forever watching his chest rise and fall and sometimes his arm would tighten around my waist slightly before relaxing again. Honestly it felt fucking amazing to be held again.
"You know it's rude to stare!" Nathan's gravely morning voice startled me making me sit up right.
"U-uh sorry, I didn't realise you were awake!" I chocked out, nerves bundled in my stomach as his beautiful golden eyes snapped open. His laugh filled the room as he sat up stretching his arms in the air. His shirt rose a little showing the visible V line. I swallowed thickly before pulling my hair out of its messy bun. Combing my fingers through my curls I could feel his eyes on me. Focusing on my hair I tried to ignore his burning eyes.
"You know you don't need to be nervous around me!" He slid closer to me. I looked at him with wide eyes.
"Who said I was nervous?" I questioned feeling vulnerable. His eyes searched mine with slight determination.
"I can tell! You won't make eye contact, you blush and distract yourself with, as an example your hair. Promise me! Promise me you won't feel insecure around me?" I was generally shocked. Who is this man and where has he been all my life? Okay that was cheesy but still.
"I promise!" I whispered. This is so intense!
"Good now let's get some breakfast I'm starving!" He chuckled standing up and offering me a hand. Okay so Kate's assumption of Nathan was completely wrong!
Being with Nathan felt so right. My hormones were driving me crazy but I wasn't exactly going to be jumping his bones.
We stood by the door my hands were stuffed in my hoodie pocket thing.
"Well I better go unpack the food before it really goes off!" He laughed as he pulled his jacket on.
"That would suck!" I giggled slightly, no more snorting!
"Well I enjoyed last night and this morning! We should hang out more often." Did I just get friend zoned? 'Hang out'?
"Yeah it was fun." I tried not let the dissapointment show through my voice. The minute he leaves I'm going to be alone again.
"Well look after yourself and remember I'm always here to help with anything." He opened his arms for a hug. Well I'm not going to say no. Sliding into his arms I wrapped my arms around his waist savouring the feeling.
"Bye!" Was pretty much the only word I could muster. Pulling away. Nathan gave me a slight pained look before turning to his car. I walked inside closing the door behind me. Well that was awkward! Glancing down the hallway the house was a little messy.
Walking into the kitchen I picked up our breakfast plates and put them in the dishwasher. Grabbing a cloth I wiped the bench. Finally it struck me. I haven't heard his car start yet. Making my way back to the door I was just about to open it before It opened for me. Nathan stood their looking rattled. His eye's were ablaze and his hair sticking up from running his hand through it.
"Are you okay?" I asked, he reached forward cupping my chin with his large hand. Oh Lord!
"Ever since the first time I saw you I couldn't get you out of my bloody head! I don't know what it was about you but..." I placed my finger against his lips stopping him.
"You speak to much! Kiss Me!" Did I seriously just say that? What if he wasn't even intending to do it? I waited before my words finally sunk in to his thick skull. His eyes seemed to come a flame as they stared hungrily into mine. He leant down moving my chin up with his hand until our lips met. It was one of those moments where you don't know what the hell is happening but in all honesty you don't actually give a fuck. How can you describe this feeling? It was something out of this world. My fingers tangled into his hair and his hands pulled my waist into his. He didn't seem to care about my little baby bump which I was thankful for.
I was running out of oxygen but I didn't care I wanted this so much. Nathan pulled away leaning his head against mine.
"God I've wanted to do that even since I bumped into you on the plane!" He ground out.
"Tell me about it!" I giggled lightly letting go of his hair and placing my hands on his shoulders.
"I need to ask you something!" I whispered staring into those golden eyes that I sill come to love.
"Go ahead!" He whispered back making me smile.
"If we are going to, you know. Do this! Do you care that in 6 months I'm going to be huge and that well I'm actually pregnant?" I chocked out. I mean I wanted to do this but not if he's going to run away. I looked at the ground feeling ashamed, why did I have to be pregnant? His fingers lifted my chin up.
"Isabelle listen to me! I don't care that your pregnant, I don't care that your going to be as round as a house and I probably won't even be able to hug you properly. But I do care about you and this baby. I know that it's really soon to care so much but something tells me it's worth it!" I could feel the tears prickling behind my eyes.
"Thank you!" I pulled him back in smashing my lips against his. This is what I need!
"Anytime darling!" He chuckled before pulling away.
"I'll pick you up at 7 tomorrow night!" He pulled away walking back down towards his car.
"Why?"
"I'm taking you our for dinner!" He slipped into his car rolling down the window.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" I teased raising an eyebrow.
"Because if I don't I won't!" He shot back grinning wildly.
"See you later darling!" My breath caught does he have to leave? He rolled the window back up before driving down my drive way.
I closed the door behind me leaving against it. The feeling if his lips still freshly plastered in my brain.
"Oh my god!" I half yelled half laughed. I felt like a little girl opening her first present on Christmas morning. Except I've never properly experienced that but I've seen plenty of movies to know the feeling. Well I'm not going to be so alone after all!
