Almost Is Never Enough

Chapter 72

Nathan was downstairs, fixing up the living room. You walked over to where he was. "Hey Nath, something wrong in here?" You asked.

"No, just figured I'd fix it up," he said.

"Alright, well I'm gonna make breakfast. You want some?" You asked.

"Yes please!" Nathan said.

You looked at him oddly. Normally he'd hug you or kiss your cheek if you offered him food. "You okay Nath? You're acting a bit...different," you said.

"Yeah I'm fine," he said.

"Okay, breakfast in twenty," you said, walking into the kitchen. "Nath's acting weird," You said to Jay.

"Nath's always acting weird," Jay said, helping you with breakfast.

"Yeah...but why is he cleaning?" You said.

"Pardon? You're saying Nathan's cleaning?" Jay asked incredulously.

"Yes!" You said.

"Alright I'm gonna talk to him," Jay said, leaving the kitchen. "Nath, what's up?" He said, casually.

"Not much, just straightening out the living room," Nathan said.

"Alright so what happened?" Jay asked.

"Pardon?" Nathan asked.

"What happened that made you clean? Who's coming over?" Jay asked.

"Annie..." Nathan said awkwardly.

"NATH'S GETTING IT IN!" Jay yelled.

"I am not!" Nathan said in defense.

"Yeah you are!" Jay said.

"Hang on. So just because Annie's coming over you think I'm getting it?" Nathan asked.

"Yes I do. You better go clean up your bedroom, Nath. " Jay said, laughing.

"My room is clean," Nathan said.

"Planning ahead?" Jay winked.

"Oh shut it Jay," Nathan said.

"Use protection," Jay said.

"Stop it!" Nathan said, blushing.

"Are you sure you don't want me to be there to show you how it's done? You're a bit rusty...we could make it a four way!" Jay laughed.

"I'm done!" Nathan said, throwing his hands up and leaving the room. Nathan couldn't help but think that if that did happen, he wouldn't be spending too much time with Annie. He walked into the kitchen. "Breakfast smells great," he said.

"Thanks," you said, "so what's all this about you getting it in?"

"I invited Annie over today. Jay's just being ridiculous is all," Nathan said.

"Ooooohhh Nathan and Annie! Isn't Ariana going to be jealous?" You asked.

"Why would she? It's not like we're dating or anything." Nathan said.

"Well you did kiss," you said.

"So? It's not like it meant anything to her, it looked as though she regretted it," Nathan said.

"That may be just because she's famous and it gets complicated. Didn't she want to talk about it?" You asked.

"Yeah. I figured I'd talk to her later," Nathan said.
