As soon as his lips touched mine I pulled away and placed my hands on his chest shaking my head, "Nathan.." I mumbled blushing.

He took my hands and I looked up at him, "what?" He asked looked at me with a small smirk.

"Like you said... Your reputation and you only have flings," I stuttered under his piercing gaze.

He chuckled before looking around then leaning his forehead against mine, "like I said before, I don't care about them," he said softly.

"You don't care about me," I blurted out.

He frowned slightly, "what makes you say that?"

I not my lip, "erm it's just with all the arguing we do and everything. And it's every time you say you hate me like you did when you stayed over at the dorm," I said quickly.

His frown deepened and he pulled away slightly, "you were awake?" He questioned. Oh shit, "how much did you hear?" He demanded.

I gulped, "oh err nothing, I heard nothing! It's just you always say you hate me so I presume that you do." I stuttered.

Nathan looked at me before his frown disappeared, "let's either go to my house or we can go back into the party," Nathan said.

I looked up at the house as drunk students came out. Austin was in there and Brooke would ask me loads of questions.

"Your house," I said quietly.

He chuckled before kissing my forehead and laced his fingers with mine. He pulled me over to his car and opened the passenger seat. I got in whike he went to the driver's seat. When he got in he started driving back to his house.

"So what is seriously happening about... Us?" I asked, confused.

Nathan looked at me, and I saw something like guilt flicker through his eyes before he looked back at the road, "depends how well you are of a kisser," he winked, "from what I've experienced so far I would give you a high 9."

I rolled my eyes at him while he laughed, "you are an ass." I said.

"You are an ass," he mimicked in a high-pithced American accent

"Stop it," I complained.

He smirked, "stop it," he repeated in an even higher pitched American accent.

I glared at him, "ohm hi I'm Nathan and I like to be a bad boy when in reality I'm just a dick with anger issues," I said with a deep English accent.

He frowned at me, "I seriously don't talk like that!" He whined.

"I seriously don't talk like that!" I mimicked with the same voice. I burst out laughing.

Nathan joined in with my laughter before pulling over by his house. We got out his car before walking up the steps. Nathan looked at me as he unlocked the door and I rolled my eyes, knowing what he was going to say, "we're not breaking in," he teased.

"I was drunk! Leave me alone," I mumbled, pouting as we walked in. Nathan smirked before smacking my bum while I squealed and looked at him shocked, "Lexi!" Jess yelled coming out the living room and into the hallway.

I smiled at her while Nathan rolled his eyes, "hey Jess," I replied and elbowed Nathan.

He chuckled, "you guys are back from the party early. It's only 8pm! Mum is doing dinner. I'll tell her you two are eating. Do you want to finish watching season one of The Vampire Diaries with me?" Jess asked.

I nodded while Nathan banged his head against the wall, "yeah sure. Tell me when you want to watch them, I need to change," I said looking down at the short dress that exposed, in my opinion, too much skin.

Jess smiled, "it's such a cute dress! You have to let me borrow it some time," Jess grinned.

"No," Nathan snapped before standing beside me.

Jess rolled her eyes and ignored her brother, "it's Brooke's but I'm sure she'll let you borrow it," I said after giving Nathan a look.

He glared at me and ran a hand through his hair before chewing his lip ring.

"Alright! I'll tell you when we are watching The Vampire Diaries," Jess said before going into the kitchen.

Nathan carried on glaring at me and I gave him an innocent smile, "I barely like you wearing it! No way will my sister be wearing the dress," Nathan said lowly and backed me into a wall.

I stared at his lip ring before looking back up at him, "she's 16, and I can wear what I want," I said smirking a little.

He gripped my waist, "no you can't. And she's too young to even get boys looking at her. When you walked in all the boys heads turned and I don't like that because you are mine," he muttered deeply.

My breathing hitched, "no, I'm not yours," I stumbled.

He smirked before leaning forward, his lips grazed mine slightly, "Nathan, who's your guest?" A man's voice said.

Nathan groaned before pulling away slightly and kept looking at me. The man who spoke seemed to be in his early forties. He gave me a dirty look before looking at Nathan. What did I do? Was it the dress? I think it was dress. What does he have against my dress? Was it too short? It probably was...

"None of your business," Nathan snapped and traced circles on my hips.

I looked at the man who glared at me slightly. I decided to try and give myself a better impression, "hi, I'm Nathan's friend," I tried offering a smile. The smile soon faded when I saw he did not return it. 

He frowned, "don't you mean his new whore?" He said.

Nathan tensed up and looked at the man before glaring at him, "Lexi is not a whore," Nathan snapped defensively.

The man looked at me before recognition dawned on him, "Lexi? As in Alexis Ryan? Is your father Rodger Ryan by any chance?" He asked with a hint of a smile on his face. 

I nodded my head slowly, "yeah..."

"I work with him, he's a nice guy. Sorry for being rude earlier, Karen has told me about you. I'm Paul," he was smiling properly. 

I gave a small smile back while Nathan glared at the wall, "ok... Erm, come on Nath! We have that piece of History homework to do," I said quickly and started pulling him up the steps.

Nathan gave me a tiny smile before we walked upstairs and went straight into his room. Nathan slammed his door shut before picking up some paper off his desk and throwing it to the floor. He kicked the wall with his boot, leaving a dirty smudge on the wall. He threw his pillow at the wall and ripped the covers away from the desk. 

I stood back and watched him silently, waiting for him to finish. When he finally finished, he stood in the centre of the room, breathing heavily. His tense muscles made his arms look bigger and his shirt clung to him. I walked behind him and wrapped my arms around his torso and leaned my head against his back, feeling him breathe in and out deeply.

"You alright now?" I asked softly.

He stiffly nodded his head before I pulled away and picked up his cover. I sat down on the floor carefully because of the dress. I tugged at the hem of the dress to preserve some of the modesty that I still had with this dress. Nathan raised an eyebrow and sat down next to me after moving some things away. He got under the cover as well and wrapped an arm around my shoulders pulling me into his chest.

"I'm not tidying your room up for you," I teased.

He rolled his eyes before kissing the top of my head, "yeah, you will," he murmured.

I smirked slightly and looked up at him, "no way! You made the mess so you tidy it," I replied.

He gave a small smile, "You're a woman and women are meant to do the tidying and that crap It's practically a law." He said smugly.

"What law you idiot? And that's a bit sexist, you clean up your own mess!" I answered.

He groaned before looking at me, "you need to change," he said stiffly

I frowned and looked down at the dress, "you seriously need to change. Now." Nathan muttered and looked away from me.

I thought about it before blushing. I stood up carefully before stepping over some of his stuff and then grabbed his sweatpants and one of his t-shirts. No point in wearing my own clothes when I'll be asleep in a few hours.

Nathan was already looking away and I tried unzipping the dress but couldn't, "Nathan can you unzip me?" I asked.

He stood up before walking over to me and unzipping the dress, "thanks," I mumbled before he nodded his head and turned away again. I quickly changed into his clothes. When I was done, I folded up the dress and looked back at Nathan. He still had his back to me.

I walked up behind him and touched his shoulder, he turned around slowly and I smiled at him slightly, "what was that all about anyway? You know, basically trashing your own room," I said softly.

He frowned, "nothing," he snapped coldly.

I pulled away, "I just asked... sorry for asking," I muttered.

Nathan rolled his eyes and shrugged me off before walking over to his bed and sat down on it. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I realised that I was still wearing my make-up so I grabbed some make-up wipes and cleaned my face. I threw the dirty wipes away.

I started picking up his things and putting them back onto the shelves and his desk. I picked up his covers and threw them at his head making him groan. Quick to follow were his pillows which hit his face with a satisfying thud. I went downstairs and into the living room where I saw Jess on her phone.

"Let me guess Austin?" I asked her as I sat down.

She looked at me before nodding her head with a big smile on her face. He was meant to be leaving her alone. I got my phone out before sending Austin a text.

'Leave Jess alone, you promised -Lexi'

'Alright just make sure you do what you're told -Austin'

I put my phone away and ignored the guilt I felt inside me as I sat down on the couch next to Jess.

"So new episode?" I asked giving a small smile.

Jess nodded her head and stood up before setting up Netflix. When she had loaded it she sat back down again.

"So you and my brother..." Jess smirked.

I rolled my eyes, "oh not you as well. Look nothing is between us," I answered blushing.

Jess hummed, "course not. Hey you two are good for each other, Vicky was alright but not for my brother. Have you two talked about her yet?"

I shook my head frowning slightly, "nope. I'm not going to say anything because when I do he shouts at me so I've learned not to say anything," I mumbled watching the television.

Jess sighed, "yeah he does that... but come on he does like you, otherwise you wouldn't have met me or my mum."

I thought about it before shrugging when Nathan walked in. He was changed into a pair of sweats as well as a t-shirt, he came and sat down right beside me and said nothing. Jess gave me a small smirk and I rolled my eyes slightly.

Jess stood up, "I actually have err homework to do," she lied.

"It's Friday night," I said frowning.

She rubbed the back of her neck, "erm yeah I just... Homework is important so bye," Jess said quickly and then left.

I rolled my eyes while Nathan said, "subtle, so are you just going to ignore me?" Nathan asked.

I ignored him and carried on watching the television. Nathan groaned before poking my cheek, "baby come on don't ignore me," Nathan mumbled.

He leaned his head on my shoulder, I bit my lip to keep from laughing at his pout before he sat up and sighed dramatically, "you have left me with no other choice babe," he said and stood up before running a hand through his hair.

He stood in front of me before smirking and then grabbed my arms before lifting me over his shoulder, I squealed, "Nathan! Let go of me!" I yelled annoyed.

Nathan laughed before walking up the stairs and headed into his bedroom, he kicked the door behind him before throwing me onto his bed and he climbed above me. He looked down at me with a smirk while I pouted, "ass," I mumbled.

He smirked before leaning down and gently kissed my forehead, "are you still angry at me?" He murmured.

I nodded my head, "yes."

He chucked and kissed my jaw, "liar." He teased before looking at me straight in the eye, "I know when you are angry at me but right now you aren't." He said smirking.

I looked at him before rolling my eyes, "right. Because you know me just that well," I said sarcastically and placed my hands against chest.

Nathan shrugged slightly before leaning down and pressing his lips against mine. My eyes widened slightly before I closed them as Nathan placed his hands on my waist. My arms automatically went around his neck and gripped his hair. Nathan smirked against my mouth and his lip ring dug into my lip. He lifted me up slightly and I wrapped my legs around his waist before he moved further up his bed. One of his hands moved from my waist and touched the end of my top.

I pulled away breathlessly and stared at Nathan who was grinning, "well that was nice," he winked.

I blushed and looked at his t-shirt before looking back up at him, "hmm," I hummed.

"We should do this more often," he smirked before someone knocked on his door.

"Lexi? Nathan? Dinner is ready," we heard Karen say.

Nathan groaned, "fine!" He replied.

I rolled my eyes and pushed him off before standing up. I ran a hand through my messy hair before sorting my clothes out and opened Nathan's door. Karen smiled at me and I returned it before Nathan joined me at my side running a hand through his hair. We walked downstairs and headed into the dining room. I saw Jess and Paul already there and Jess seemed relieved when we walked in. I smiled at her slightly, still trying to cool my face down, before I sat opposite her and Nathan sat next to me.

Karen sat down next to Paul and smiled at us. I smiled back before eating the chicken salad. Nathan looked at Jess and made a funny face when Paul started talking making her laugh, I smiled as well.

"So Lexi, what are you taking at Oxford?" Paul asked.

I choked slightly on my salad making Nathan laugh before he covered it up with a cough, "oh history and literature." I answered and tensed when Nathan's hand touched my thigh.

Nathan smirked at me and carried on eating, "geek," Nathan winked.

I rolled my eyes, "really? That's amazing. Your father also told me that you are interested in music right?" Paul asked, I nodded my head, "so is Jess and Nathan. We actually have a music room maybe Nathan can show you it one time. Oh Karen we must invite all the Ryan's over for dinner, how about tomorrow? Lexi are you staying tonight?" Paul asked.

I choked again slightly as Nathan rubbed my thigh, what a dick, "yes," I said my voice going higher.

Nathan bit his lip ring to keep from laughing while Jess gave us a confused look.

Paul nodded his head smiling, "perfect. Your mother and father also younger brother will join us for dinner tomorrow!"

I tensed instantly before relaxing at Nathan's soothing circles and then blushed, my mum was going to find out that I stayed with Nathan a whole week. In his bed. Oh brilliant. Can't wait for the dinner now.
