Love on London

Chapter 33: Nathan's Got UnWanted feelings

++++++++++++ Perry’s POV ++++++++++++

…..

Siva was like a god, I mean, can you hear his voice? Yes! Of cause that’s the sound of an Irish lord; just let me the princess who needed rescuing.

“What about you?” he asked and I had to snap out of my dreamy state to answer him back.

“Ahhh…” I say opening my mouth and left it open for a bit. “Restate the question please?” He laughed. God, sexiest laugh ever.

“Your hobbies? What do you do in your spare time?” he repeated.

“Oh, well… I… I ah,” I stammer caught in his smile. Please someone help me.

“Dance?” Rachel said walking by.

“Yes I do dance,” There is a lord!

“She also plays the harp and speaks Japanese,” Kim said walking in the other direction as Rachel and put a cup of coffee in front of me.

“I don’t drink coff…”

“You’ll need it,” Kim shouted out and came to a stop in front of the ladder where Tom was writing something down.I nodded and looked down to the thick brown liquid.

“Blurgg,” I say pulling a face and realised I just did it aloud.

“Not a coffee lover?”

“Never, it’s like drinking liquefied dog doo,” I say pushing it away. He laughed and I felt myself blush a little. “Tell me about Ireland, please I’ve always wanted to go,” I insist watching while his eyes sparkled a little.

“No Jay, DON’T!” I heard Arria call out from a cubby and a lot of thumping and rolling happen before she slipped out of the cubby head first. “Dear lord,” she said sounding shocked while she hung upside down by her foot.

“Oh I’m so sorry Arria!” Jay called out half laughing, half nervous. I watched while Nathan jumped up and went to get her foot out of where it was stuck.

“This is a rather awkward position,” she said when Nathan had to reach up and lean in closer to get it. He jumped back suddenly and went,

“Sorry!” and blushed like a teenager. No, wait, he was. 19 to be exact, or would be soon enough.

“Maybe you should make sure I don’t fall on my head and Jay gets the foot undone?” she suggested holding onto the railings.

“Yeah, good idea…” Nathan said taking hold of her shoulders gently. You could tell he had a crush on her; just the way he acted around her gave it away. It was a good thing that Rachel wasn’t crushing on him, she had her dreams about Max, but well he’s getting married isn’t he. Rachel knows that, she’s accepted that fact that she’ll never get a dreamy date with the guy who in theory thinks of her perfectly.

Kim wasn’t so lucky either, I wasn’t sure I liked her approach to it. ‘Well there’s no ring, they’ve only just admitted it to the public!’ she’d said before they got on the bus. Jay and Arria better be close or not close at all if things were going to go smoothly. Unfortunately they looked like if anything happened between the two their universe would crash and burn.

>>>>>>>>>> Nathan’s POV<<<<<<<<<

Dam! I’d started to think like that again about Arria! What was wrong with me! What’s with her, Tom loved her, he still was slightly that way with her and she was, as always, oblivious or very good at ignoring it.

I thought of her in ways that weren’t what friends should have, I would still lay awake at night and think of that kiss, when for a moment she’d kissed me back. But Jay had her. Jay loves her. Or he really loved the sex; it wasn’t like they were that un-obvious. They did keep it down, but let’s just say they weren’t the quietest of couples.

And here I was, sticking my crouch in her face while she hung upside down. I could feel the watch from Jay, he wasn’t going to make a fuss about it, but he didn’t agree with it either. I shifted my hands down to her shoulders gently.

“Ready?” Jay asked and I saw Arria groan.

“Please don’t drop me Nath,” she said opening her eyes and watched me. I felt my breath go away for a moment, but nodded. Jay loves her remember, and she loves Jay. I had to remind myself that from time to time. “At least you had the guts to kiss her!” I could hear Tom shout.

“Ooooo,” I heard Arria say and suddenly her feet slipped out to the left of her. “Thanks Nathan, JAY!” she said her voice changing from sweet to dramatically angry. I laughed with Siva and Perry. Tom and the other girl Kim were off in another cubby talking and writing songs. “YOU’RE GETTING IT!” she said standing and pointed to him.

“Oh Jay, here that. You’re ‘getting it!’” Max shouted out and she blushed dropping her finger.

“Shut it Max!” Jay said but his playful gaze was still on Arria. She thought for a moment before leaning on my shoulder.

“Well I guess you’re just going to have to crash someone else’s party,” she said turning to look at me. “I’m going to do a YouTube video with just Nath,” she finished and poked her tongue out before dragging me into our, the guy’s, room and picked up her camera along the way.

“Tough luck mate!” I shout out as she closed the door on him.

…

We watched the video back on YouTube and looked at the fans comments.

“We’re exploring the darkest corners of The Wanted’s room on the TWAT’s Tour bus,” Arria said impersonating David Attenborough’s voice really well. A light came on in the corner and I stood smiling like a mad chucky character. She giggled next to me as we went through some of Tom’s stuff and then I put Siva’s underwear on my head to wear it as a mask.

“Have you considered where that’s been Nathan?” she asked in the video and I threw it off my head in a hurry before going,

“Eww,” and shook all over.

I put my finger on the pad and scrolled down to where a fan had written.

‘I tot’s think they’d b datin, look at the Famous mag phot and u can tot’s c what I mean!’

There was a link to the photo so I clicked on it and a small box popped up on the screen showing me and Arria with our faces inches from one another, we were both smiling and I had my arm around her shoulder. It was from when we ran through the fans and paparazzi. I saw that while I was watching her eyes, she was looking at my lips. I clicked out of it and scrolled down the screen feeling how awkward she felt about it.

“It’s just a photo,” I remind her and she pointed to another comment. It was a reply to the one before,

‘LOL! She’s tot checking him out!’

“Seems like they’ve got great timing with that stuff and all,” she said. I looked to another comment and pointed it out for her,

“At least we’d be a cute couple,” I read out as it was dramatically voted upwards. She laughed and nudged my shoulder.

“DINNER!” someone shouted. I sighed and closed the computer before emerging into the light of the bus.

“Seev, come on!” Perry said loudly while she blushed heavily. He was smiling at her with his arm holding her tightly to his larger frame.

“Talking about cute couples,” I say whispering into Arria’s ear. She nodded and grinned,

“They’d be adorable,” she agreed and looked me in the eyes before her eyes darted to my lips again.
