unconsciously falling in love.

Chapter 9

*at Nathan's house*

He finally gets into the shower. It was so awkward the whole time. He only needed help starting the shower and somewhat getting in.

As he was getting in he has a towel wrapped around him. But I could see his back as he was getting in. I could see every line of muscle. Every indent, every dimple, every crease. It was very attractive but hank god this whole time I haven't seen any 'exposed' areas. I honestly think I would kill myself if I did.

He shuts the curtain and throws me his black towel. Who gets black towels? Why not colorful like pink? I don't blame him. I would go for the color black over any other color.

He starts humming and it gives me this feeling of 'awh'. He's so adorab- no! Melody! Stop, you can't be in love. You have to at least finish high school, maybe even college.

He starts laughing in the shower and at first I thought he was crying.

I ask "are you okay?" Making a really curios face then realizing he can't see me. So now I look like an idiot.

Catching his breathe he said " it's just so funny. I mean your fucking helping me take a shower. I just met you last week over god damn pizza. Is this a love story or what?"

For seconds the sentence "is this a love story or what?" ran through my head over and over.

I hear the water dripping down his back and then hitting the shower floor. It's a very soothing sound.

"For it to be a love story one of us has to be in love but yeah, what are the odds hah?" I say

It's pure silence, I couldn't even hear my own breathing.

"oh, right. Anyway, I'm almost done in here. You can fold the towel and put it on the counter. I think I have enough energy to get out on my own."

I fold the towel and leave the bathroom. While he's in the shower I decide to snoop around. I mean why not?

I go to the right there is a hallway it has black walls with built in lights. It's like half of a bowl in the wall and the light is in there. Hm, never seen those before. As I'm walking down I start thinking. Is he actually in love? I think he's trying to get some and then leave. I know he doesn't want me.

I take the first door that's open. It's a room with pink painted walls, it has a crib, a ton of toys, and a board that says "Alexis" over the top of the crib.

I see Nathan walking down the hall towards me. Once he gets close to me I say "I didn't know you had a baby sister. That's so exciting!" He glanced at me pretending he didn't hear me then said "I don't have one." I was completely confused. So I said "by the looks of it, it looks like you do. You can't deny it even though she may be annoying."

He stops and then turns around and is facing me. I see sadness in his eyes. Why do I see that? He says
"I told you I don't have one, she died exactly 3 years ago in a couple of days. My dad just doesn't have the courage to take down her stuff."

I look at him regretting everything I start to say "I'm so-"  until he cuts me off "don't be, it's okay."

"Come on, let's go to my room. So you can help me get comfortable in bed."

I walk into his room and it honestly looks like a teenage boys room. No different. Except this one does not smell. It smells like mint, I love mint sooo much!

He sits down on his bed and gets under the covers. I'm not even helping him. I don't think he even needed help today. He just wanted company because he was lonely.

as he's done slowly tossing himself he pats on the bed signaling me to sit next to him. I hesitate but go anyway.

I slowly sit he looks at me and it looks like his eyes are shining.

He whispers "lay down and tell me a story after I fall asleep you can go in the living room and at 4:30 my dad can take you home."

I was somewhat okay with that plan. I don't even know what his dad looks like but oh well....

But I am NOT laying down. So I say "no, I'll sit." I glance at him and he's giving me the saddest puppy eyes. Now I understand why Alicia always fell for this... I lay down. And we are about 10 feet apart. Thank god he has a huge bed. I start telling him stories about my childhood. I was basically ranting.

After probably 20 minutes of my annoying ranting I turn over and see he's passed out. I'm just silently staring at him, he's so beautiful. He has bright red soft cheeks and his dimples just form ever so carefully. His hair is messy but still adorable. His eyes are so gently closed. One move and it could awake him.

I check the time and it's 4:21 I might as well get up if his dad is going to take me home...

I slowly get out of the bed. As i'm lifting my leg of the bed I feel his hand touch my thigh. It send electricity through out my whole body giving me the chills.
I stop moving and he doesn't even open his eyes he just says two simple words.

"Please stay."

Without any second thoughts. I got out and got right back in except covering myself in his cold minty sheets. I start humming to waste the time. I look over at his beautiful face and slowly lean in to where I'm right next to him. Probably about two inches away.

I feel my eyes start to get heavy. I don't want to fall asleep otherwise I'll be out for awhile... But it's too late. I'm already gone...
