All The Love He Does Not Know

Chapter 14: Aliyah

My mum had taken Nyla and Cameron to the movies and my dad was still at work when I heard a knock on the door. Nate. I invited him inside and the two of us stood awkwardly in my room until Nate pulled me close and kissed me.
"Why did you want me to come over?"
"I don't know I just didn't want to be home alone again."
"Did you wanna watch a movie or something? I could make some popcorn."
"Yeah sure."
Nate and I sat on my bed and I cuddled up to him as we watched the movie but I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
"What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking that I really like you."
"Only really?"
"Maybe really really if your lucky."
"I was thinking that too."
Nate pulled me closer to him while running his fingers through my hair.
"I wish we didn't have to be so secretive."
I paused for a second.
"Me neither but this is how it has to be for now."
I stared into Nates dreamy green eyes as I whisked of his shirt revealing his flat chest, perfect muscles and abs which I slid my hand down.
"Sorry," I hesitated for a moment.
"I've always wanted to do that." I continued.
I took off my jacket and threw it across the room as he climbed onto the bed and began kissing me again before pulling himself away.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes as long as you have.. You know."
"Yeah."
"Ok then."
He slid his hands up my sides as he reached for the bottom of my shirt which he slowly lifted above my head. I ran my fingers through his soft hair and then he pushed me back down onto the bed. I felt his strong arms as I gripped onto them and pulled him closer. ~~~
I laid half dressed next to Nate staring into his eyes as he smiled back to me.
"What is it?"
"You just look so beautiful."
I started to blush as he began to stroke my face.
"Really? Me?"
"Well there's nobody else here I hope."
"True."
"What should we do now?"
"I just wanna lay here this is nice."
"Ok."
I moved myself closer to Nate and he wrapped his arms around me.
"I love you."
The words came out of Nates mouth so fast that I was stuck with how I should reply so I just laid still hoping he wouldn't say it again. Why couldn't I say it? I knew that I felt the same way but I was too scared to say it. Maybe there was something wrong with me.
