Chapter 9: What You Do To Me

***Nat's POV***

"-well I better go pick up Savannah,"Mikey began."See you kids later. Ang, Jason you coming?"

"Yeah,"Angelina agreed."You kids behave. And watch Calum and Lauren."

"Fine,"Marley huffed.

We said our goodbye's as they left.

"Hey, Nat, can you go check if my siblings are stable?"Sammyjo asked me as she sat on the couch with her legs sprawled over it.

"Sure, but you owe me,"I teased.

"I don't owe you shit!"She rolled her eyes as she kept on helping the other girls write lyrics for Chances.

I went up the stairs as I felt bad for Tessa. I mean Cole obviously has a crush on her but he completely fucked up by mentioning Melanie. Melanie's nice, sweet, kind-hearted, and smart. But she's too average. I mean she is a cheerleader as well, but I don't know she's nothing new. I mean her personality is too plain, not saying being nice is a bad thing she's just nothing special or different. Unlike Tessa who's a total badass and a firehead.

No, I do not like Tessa that way. I um, actually like someone else in the group. But I don't wanna tell her because believe it or not I use to have a crush on Marley, but when I told her and I found out she didn't like me back it was quite awkward. We didn't talk to each other for 2 weeks and then finally we were back on normal terms. Everyone in the group knows who I like, I mean it's quite obvious: Sammyjo.

Yes I am being cliche and cheesy right now, but I fell for my best friend. Stupid right? But it's not like she's ever gonna feel the same way. She said herself that she thought love was quite childish. So why should I risk ruining our 11 year friendship because I have feelings for my best friend. So I might as well just suck it up and try to let these feelings go.

When I got to the living room I realized something: it was too quiet especially for a 2 year old boy and an 8 year old girl.

"Cal? Lauren?"I asked loudly.

"Who is it?"I heard Lauren ask.

"It's me, Nat. Lauren, where are you?"

"In my room."

I went up the stairs to where all the bedrooms were. I passed by Austin and Calum's, Sam's which is across the hall from the boys, and left of the boys' room was Lauren.

I knocked on the door,"Laur, you in here?"

"Yup,"she said peeking out of the door."How may I help you?"

I sighed as I smiled,"well help me find Calum. Your dad said you two have to hang with us."

"Ok!"

As she left her room I turned to her,"do you know where Calum is?"

"In the kitchen eating ice cream,"she replied as we went down the stairs, her dainty little hands holding the rail as if she was scared that she might fall dwon the stairs. If that happened I don't think Savannah will be all too pleased about it.

And she was right. When we got to the kitchen sitting on the tiled floor was Calum. His legs spread on the floor with a tub of Chocolate ice cream on the ground. A fork in the ice cream and melted ice cream on his chubby hands, face, hair, and the floor.

"God you're sister will not be happy,"I muttered.

"I am happy though!"Lauren giggled.

I chuckled as I ruffled her brown hair,"I meant your other sister, Laure. Though no one will ever replace you."

See we have a joke, which includes the others. See when Lauren was 6 at a party the Fusco's were having she admits that she had a tiny crush on me. So jokingly we call her my 'girlfriend' and from then on this joke is still on. Not that I mind, Lauren is such a sweet little girl.

"-did you find them?"Lorena's voice filled the living room.

I met her brown eyes and nervously scratched the back of my neck,"yeah..um, we have a problem."

She arched her eyebrows,"Nathaniel Danielson what did you do."

"Don't start with full names Lorena Alice Smith."I raised my voice but she didn't seem intimidated at all.

"What happened?"

"Mind washing a toddler?"

She made her way towards me and when she saw the mess she threw her head back and groaned,"god dang it. Look, you bathe him because I'm innocent and I'd like to stay that way. And Lauren and I will clean the mess up."

"Should I ask Sam to or should I just clean his face and hands and then give me spare clothes,"I offered.

"Option 2. C'mon Lauren, might as well start now before your parents come home."Lorena steered the child to the cupboards while I lifted the boy up and went up the stairs to his room.

He sat on the carpet next to him and Austin's bunkbed. As he played with his Spiderman action figure I was digging through his drawers looking for some suitable clothes for him to wear. I decided on some shorts and a plain red tee.

"Here Cal, hurry up and changed while I wait outside,"I instructed him before I left his room.

I tapped my foot on the floor as I hummed 'Snow White' as I checked my texts. Nothing new. Though I did get one from Tess.

Tessa: R u done yet?! everyone is doing their own thing and I don't really wanna chat with Cole rn

Me: don't worry almost done. And u can't avoid him forever

Tessa: I am that stubborn.

I laughed at her sassy self as Calum came trotting out of his room.

"Thanks for listening little man,"I said as I picked him up once more and headed to the bathroom.

I got a bath cloth and soaked it before cleaning the dried up chocolate stains on it. He was very obediant and he mostly played with the soap bar as I cleaned him up.

"Nat can you sing for me?"he questioned softly as he looked at me.

"Sure bud, any songs?"

"No. You choose."

I remember my Aunt Maryse play a bunch of songs she did when she was a teenager. So I sang 'Story Of My Life' by One Direction. I remember that my Mom was a major Directioner always saying how she'd marry some guy name Niall Horan? I don't know. 

"You two seem like you're ok,"I heard Sammyjo said. I can literally picture the smirk on her face.

I turned around and I was right. Leaning against the doorway I saw her checking her nails but her eyes gazing into mine as well as vice versa. 

"Yeah, um, sorry about Calum,"I apologized as she stepped in kissing her brother's head.

"It's fine. Thanks for cleaning him. Lori told me you'd be here,"she informed as she carried her brother. His head laid on her shoulder and his eyes started drooping signaling that he must've been tired.

"No problem."

"Actually no I have to thank you. I mean I just told you to get Lauren and Calum. Instead you decided to help out, thanks Nat."She smiled at me as she stood a little on her tippy toes and slowly lanted her lips on my cheek. As the contact happened I felt my cheek heat up immediately and my breathing was uneven. I tried to hide it but I couldn't help it. It was one of the many effects she had on me. And I loved the feeling of it. The thrill that she brings no matter the situation.

I love Sammyjo Ann Fusco. And I can't help it.

@SaphireG12 I know I know no Labby or Marley but hey dont blame me! Anyway hoped you guys like this chapter. And yes, Nat did had a crush on Marley but it's all over. I am not gunna do any love triangles cos in real life it sucks like hell even though this book isn't real.
