Adopted by Omaha boys (a Nate Maloley story)

Part 43

Richie went to the restroom so I decided to try to find my mom and ask what Nate's car was doing here.
"Hey mom." I said walking up to her.
"Hey sweetie, havin fun?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"Yeah. One question."
"Yes?"
"What is Nate's car doing here?"
"I don't..." My mom said getting interrupted.
"Hey um, Liv, can I talk to you for a moment?" I looked at my mom who looked at me, then Nate, then back to be and have me a go for it look.

"Liv, I just wanna say I'm sorry." Nate says giving me a serious face, but I just look at him. I can't say it's alright, cause it's not.
"Look I know you're mad but..." He started saying before I interrupted him.
"But what?! But you didn't mean it? You weren't into it? You weren't thinking? Lies, lies,lies." I say a bit angry.
"I'm not asking for another chance because I know you clearly won't accept it." "I'm asking we at least be friends, Liv I can't lose you in my life, I can't. I can lose other people but you I can't."
"Nate... I just don't think it would be the best choice."
"Please. I'll be the bestest friend you could ever have. It won't be awkward and it won't turn into anything other than just friends."
"Fine, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a try." I say and Nate goes in for a hug. A hug I haven't felt in what it feels like ages, just not the same hug. I hug back, only lightly while he's squeezing tight, but not as tight as he used to.
"I should get back to Richie." I say as Nate looks down then nods.

It was time for the egg hunt, we got out baskets ready and out destinations ready. The whistle blows and we're off! It feels like a race, who can find the most and best Easter eggs. Me and Richie were sharing so we went separate ways so we can get more.
At the end we went inside my room to open all the eggs. We got about $80 and lots of candy.

"I saw you talking to Nate, What was that about?" Richie says as we're cuddling in the living room couch now.
"Oh. You saw that. Yeah. He just apologized for the 100th time and we agreed to be friends, nothing more." I say.
"Oh okay, if he's ever bothering you, let me know."
"I will." I say as someone walks in through the back door.

Today ended up fun, we all had a great time. We ended the night pretty early. We fell asleep around 11:30 so we can do something tomorrow .
