I'm Tutoring The Jerk Of The School...Oh Joy(ON HOLD)

Chapter Nine

Chapter Nine

Amanda’s P.O.V

As I hugged Nate, I realized how much I missed him. But what was he doing here? He left and told us he was never coming back. So, why is he here now, sitting on our couch, his cat in the carrier, a big bag next to it? But it doesn’t matter, I just know I missed him so much!

I breathed in his cologne, so happy to be able to smell it again. He left and I couldn’t smell it anymore. In couldn’t hear his voice. I couldn’t see his face. I couldn’t joke around with him. I couldn’t talk to him about mom and dad I missed my beloved Nathaniel Richard Blake. Yeah, he’s my brother. No, I’m not an only child. Well, I kind of am because he left because he was sick of mom and dad ignoring us.

“How’ve you been?” he asked into my hair.

“Better, now.” I whispered back. I squeezed him around his waist, and closed my eyes. It’s been six years since I’ve seen him, and I really did miss him. I tried to just forget about him, which is why Bekah is the only one who knew I even had a brother. But she’s the only one. But I told her to forget him too. It made things easier.

“Mom and dad aren’t smothering you by leaving you alone anymore?” he asked, stepping back to look me in the eyes after I opened them.

“No. Actually, starting last week, they came home early instead of late. They were worried about me because I’m tutoring him. And that I kept it from them for two weeks without telling them.” I said, gesturing to Dylan, who was standing awkwardly behind me.

“You sound just like him.” He whispered, ruffling my hair.

I grinned. “Yeah. We’re a bit a like. But, not in a partying aspect. More attitude. Keeping things secret. You know.”

“Yeah. I was that way too. When you have parents who pay little attention to you, you tend to do that.” he said, finally looking at Dylan. “So…you and my sister, huh?”

“Sister?!” Dylan blurted. His gaze snapped to me then back to Nate again.

Nate grinned. “So you don’t talk about your beloved brother?”

“Are you kidding? Why would I talk about you? But all joking aside, no, I don’t. I was heart broken when you left, Nate. Never do it again!”

He gave me a sheepish look. “Sorry, A. But, I’m here to stay for a while. So don’t worry. I can also look out for you with guys. Like this kid who reminds me of Finn.”

I rolled my eyes, but then smiled. “Yeah, he is a bit like Finn. But Dylan swears. Badly.”

“What’s wrong with swearing?”

“Nate!” I gasped.

“Oh no. They brain washed you.” he took my shoulders in his hands and shook me. “Leave, you evil being! Leave my sister! I banish you!”

“She actually said Hell last week.” Dylan managed to pipe in during my brother’s yelling and shaking. He looked at me like I was from another planet. Probably wondering how me and my brother were related if we were so different.

“Really? A, you have to let loose!” Nate turned to Dylan, and pointed at him, “You, are going to take my sister out to a party sometime. Comprende?”

“Why do I have to?” Dylan almost shouted. I could hear his voice rising. Even going up a pitch.

“She’s too held back. Just do it. She’ll be more fun after.” Nate winked at him. “But anyway, I have to take Jinx here and go to my new apartment. I just wanted to stop by and talk to mom and dad, but obviously they aren’t here. I even had to break out my old key that I buried in the lawn out front. Do you know how hard it was to find that thing?”

“I can guess. Well, get going. And your cat is cute. I want to see it up close sometime, okay? Oh, and are you stopping by later?”

“Yeah. I’ll see you later, A.” Nate said before picking up his stuff and leaving. Well, I gave him a hug first.

Then, I turned to a very confused Dylan. “Confused?”

“Very. So…that was your…brother? How come you don’t talk about him?”

I shrugged. “It was hard when he left. I vowed to just forget about him since I thought he was never coming back. But obviously, I was wrong. He’s back, and I feel horrible for not talking about him, or even thinking about him for five years.”

“It’s okay, I guess. I mean, it’s not like he can blame you. You had to get through life somehow.” Dylan said. I could tell he was uncomfortable. He probably felt weird comforting me, but it was okay. “Well, let’s just forget about it for a little while. You still have to tutor me. I did not wake up this early just to have you mope around.”

I laughed and sat on the couch, pulling my text book on my lap. Dylan sat next to me, his back pack on the ground, getting his books from it. “How about math today?”

“Oh, so you’re tutoring me today, huh? But I guess. We might as well get it over with.” he groaned, pulling the book onto his lap too, and flipping it open.

I opened my eyes and saw denim in front of me. Wait, denim? I sat up, stretching. I noticed I was laying on someone. I looked at the person and almost fell off my couch I was so shocked. Dylan was sitting there, his head hanging to the side, small snores coming from his open mouth. His eyes were closed. We were sleeping…together?! Oh no! No! Was that a sin?! I slept with a guy I barely knew, even though I didn’t do the deed with him, it was still bad, right?

Yeah, it had to be bad. No one just sleeps on another…wait. I slept on his lap! So close to right there. Why? How did that even happen? All I remember is doing math problems and showing him how to distribute again because he was doing it wrong. So how did I end up falling asleep on his lap, so close to…No, don’t even think about that area again.

I blushed, and hid my face with my hands. A minute later I took my hands away, and looked at him. He looked so peaceful. How could he sleep like that though, and still look so extremely hot and peaceful at the same time? I reached out and moved a piece of hair from his forehead. He just groaned and shifted lower on the couch, spreading his legs out further and tilting his head away from me. There was some part of me that just wanting to crawl on his lap and fall asleep in his arms. But another wanted me to get off the couch completely. I think that was my religious side.

Why was I feeling this way? Just looking at him, my heart beat hard, and I wanted to be closer. I remembered when he was shirtless that day in his room. When he stepped forward, I only fell back because I was scared of my feelings. I’m not supposed to be feeling this way. Why was I? I didn’t ask for these feelings. Especially for a person who would never feel the same way. I sighed. What did I get myself into?
