Chapter 17

Addison’s POV

“Do you have to study?” Nathan breathed on the side of my neck and kissed the spot. I giggled softly and I turned around to face him.

“What do you think?” I raised my eyebrows at him playfully.

“No…?” He pretended to think about my question for a minute and I lightly punched where his abs are.

“Come on, Nath, entertain yourself for another half an hour; I need to be prepared to explain the history of this art piece,” I told him, turning back around on my wheelie-chair to face my desk.

“I’d rather you entertain me,” he laughed and I half scoffed, half laughed.

Spinning once again, I got up from my chair and kissed him on the lips, tugging on his bottom lip slightly. It got a little heated and we ended up on the bed with him on top of me. I flipped us over, trailing kisses above his shirt, teasing him. Just as I was about to kiss closer to where the zip of his pants are, I stopped and laughed. Nathan’s eyes shot open. As you can tell, I've grown very comfortable with the act of kissing one's lips...I laughed internally.

“I don’t like you,” he pouted and drew his eyebrows together, just staring at the ceiling breathlessly.

“I’m sorry, but I must study.” I got off the bed, smiling, leaving him frustrated.  

“I have to tell you something,” Nathan suddenly said and I heard him sit up on the bed. For what seemed like the hundredth time, I spun back around on my chair.

I just looked him, waiting for him to continue.

“We’re going back to the US in three days…” he looked down and I found myself internally being carefully about what I’d say next. I shouldn’t just say “Oh,” or yell. Was there an in between to this?

“For tour?” I really was unaware of the band’s agenda. Like I’ve been saying, I grew out of my obsession with them two years ago. I didn’t stalk their Twitter accounts like I used to every morning, I chuckled to myself quietly and Nathan looked at me curiously. I shook my head at him to tell him it’s nothing.

“It’s for other things, as well. Scooter wants us back to mainly promote our next album…and he wants me to promote a song with Ariana Grande…” he seemed to be choosing his words carefully and I was becoming confused as to why he was.

“That’s great. I love Ariana Grande,” I mused.

“It means I’d have to hang around with her for most of the time…” Nathan pressed on and I scrutinized him for a split second. I realized where he was going with this.

“I trust you,” I said simply, getting up from the chair and sitting next to him on the edge of my bed.

“Thank you,” he said, sounding a little surprised with my response. He placed a lingering kiss on my lips, and moved his mouth slowly across my cheek, leaving a kiss there as well. Nathan inhaled the scent of my hair and I blushed.

“I’m giving up on homework for tonight,” I said genuinely. “You’re a bad influence,” I stuck my tongue out at him and he laughed.

“So, what do you want to do, then?” He smiled at me.

“Movie?” I suggested and he pulled me up and led me to the living area. I got down on my knees and began browsing through the 50-some DVD’s Sarah and I agreed upon to bring with us all the way from Asia to London, as we were limited on the amount of items to bring. We even immaturely argued on which chick-flicks and Disney to pack.

I brought out a handful and saw “Bambi” and giggled with delight. I looked at Nathan over my shoulder and his face feigned mortification and I burst out laughing for a few seconds.

“Can we watch this?” I held up the DVD and he rolled his eyes playfully.

“Anything for you, my love,” he said and my heart fluttered at his words. He couldn’t have meant it…it’s too early, isn’t it? Stop over thinking, things, Addi….

Nathan’s POV

Dammit, why did I say that? I’ve probably made things awkward now. I watched Addi’s reaction and all I saw was the reddening on her high cheekbones.

“Would you like snacks or a drink?” She asked, sounding a little nervous. Ah, shit. There it is.

“Oh, no I’m fine, thanks,” I replied and she nodded, taking a seat on the floor next to me. “Bambi” began to play and I’ll admit, I was watching Addi for half the time so far. Her eyes glinted with contentment, like she was five years old again. She’s so cute.

“I wish I could make someone feel that way….” Addi said. I looked at the screen and saw Bambi all red and flustered. The scene in which Feline kisses, or rather licked Bambi, had just passed. I brought my attention back to Addi and I looked at her incredulously. In my own disbelief, I grabbed the remote and paused the film.

“Wha-“ she began but I silenced her by pinning her to the ground. In all honestly, I was shocked at my own actions.

“You don’t get it do you?” I said quietly against her mouth.

“Nathan, what-“ I cut her off again.

“Do you feel that?” I brought her hand above my heart. “You do make someone feel sappy and weak. I’m that someone. I’m being sappy right now…” I chuckled and continued, “I really hope my affection for you gets through your oblivious skull.” I stopped there and kissed her forehead. I heard her sniffle and when I looked down at her and she snickered in embarrassment and covered her face with her hands.

“Don’t do that; it’s okay,” I said in between quiet laughs, trying to pry her hands off of her face.

“I hate you. And your eyebrows. And your cheesy words.” She said as she laughed behind her hands. I couldn’t help but laugh as well, and we ended up just laying on the ground enjoying each other’s company, letting the DVD player turn off by itself.

A/N: HELP, I've been watching too many chick flicks! I'll admit, though, I think I melted myself by writing the last, mushy part there. Anyway, drama ensues.... Chapter 18 should be up verrrryyyyyy soon :) xx
