Coming Home

Chapter 8, Understanding the Term Us

"Nathan. I hate surprises. Just tell me where we are going, please? You know about my past. This kind of stuff just doesn't make me feel well." I look up at him from looking through my dresser to find an outfit.
"Oh alright sorry. I thought it'd be fun but that doesn't come at the cost of you feeling afraid. So I'm having this party, at my parents beach house. Everybody is going to be there."
Crap. Now I definitely have to find something comfy but sexy. "Alrighty, I need 15 minutes to straighten my hair and another 10 for make up and getting dressed." With that he didn't look very pleased.
"Wait. Is there anything that I could do to speed up this process?"
I chuckled and thought for a moment. "Uhh well you could help me straighten my hair while I do my make up. And when I'm done with that I can finish it."
He had a slight smirk but that faded with his reply, "how would I do that?"
"Nathan. Let me get dressed and I'll show you." I then plug in the straightener, grab my clothes and go to the bathroom.

2 minutes later

I walk out of the bathroom. "Kierston Rae, you look really good in that romper."
"Nathan, my hair is messy and I don't even have make up on yet." I turn to face the mirror and grab the straightener. I see him walking up behind me and then feel his arm snake around my waist. Then he moves the hair off my neck and behind my ear and whispers, "that's the point." I feel his warm breath against my neck. I bite my lip and close my eyes for a few seconds. I then look at him through the mirror. He's staring back at me. Right now I could just turn around and- his arm is taken off of my waste and he moves back a little.
"Show me how to straighten your hair." He says tauntingly.

"Damn it Nathan, you're such a tease." I say laughing and give him a playful death glare. I take a piece of my hair and show him. "That's it?"
"Yeah, Scott. That's all you have to do."
"Easy enough for me."

I finish my make up. "Okay I can do the rest."
"There is only a little bit left. Can I just finish it for you?"
"Um if you really want," I say questioningly. "However, I'm doing the front."
"Deal."

With that he finishes the back of my hair, I do my bangs an we leave. He opens the door for me, "thank you sir."
"You're welcome madam." He says back getting into the car. He starts the car. I run my fingers through his hair, down his neck and shoulder. "Nathan you shouldn't call me madam, it turns me on."
His face goes a bit pale and I burst out laughing. "NATHAN, IM KIDDING!" I say in-between laughs. All he says is a disappointed "oh."

We get to the party and it is packed! There are so many people here. Nathan and I hang for a little bit, have a couple drinks and then we walk outside. I look at Nathan and he looks at me, yes I'm a little tipsy but this gives me the balls I wouldn't ever have. I pull him into a kiss. First it was passionate and sweet. Then it became rough and sloppy, and it turned into a make out session by the water and in the sand.

We take off our clothes except our undergarments to swim. It's very flirtatious, we splash each other, kiss, and just mess around to have a good time. So much for straightening my hair. After a bit we lay out to dry before putting our clothes back on. The wind and towels got us dry really fast so we went back inside to drink a little more. We dance for a bit.
"Hey, I see Peyton!" I scream over the music.
"Alright I'm gonna go say hi to the team."
"Okay have fun," I wink at him and walk over to Peyton.

"Hiya sister."
"Peyton. I'm super drunk."
"I can tell."
"Yeah, but I've had-" I almost fall over. "A pretty good night," I finish with after Peyton helps me stand up.
"With Nate?"
"Ohh you guys are on a nickname basis?"
"Kierston. That's my ex boyfriend."
"Oh shit." I start laughing. "I guess we've got the same taste."
"Yeah okay. Well I'm all partied out and I think that you need to be. Let's get you home," Peyton says as she puts her arm around me.
We begin to walk out the door. By we I mean mostly her and me being dragged along. "Hey Nathan I'm going to take Kiers-"
She stops and I look up to feel the worst feeling. Nothing like being sobered up by the guy I'm falling for, all over another girl. They were making out. I stand up and say a very cold "Bye Nathan Scott."

Peyton runs after me and I feel the tears form. That was so horrible. Here I'd thought he was a good guy. I felt safe with him, and he hurt me. I look up and she just pulls me into a hug. I hug her back and feel a few tears fall. "I'm sorry he hurt you sis. I warned you because I didn't want you to get hurt. I've always got your back."
"Thank you Peyton. I don't mean to be rude but is there an extra room at your place I can spend the night? I just don't want to be alone."
"Oh, yeah that's fine."

With that she drove me home, we went up to her room. She comes in with a water and I drink it and lay down. With that I fall asleep.
