A/N: I love Daft Punk so I thought I would include the vid. The little robot in the video is the robot that played Chucky, except he doesn't have skin!
Anyways, I hope that you enjoy this chapter. I'm amazed that I actually wrote two chapters in one week!
Tell me what you would like to happen. [:

Fear coursed through my body as I realized who it was.
"Wh-What are y-you doing here?" All this time I thought I would be able to stand up to him if he came back. But I'm sad to say that all of my gained strength quickly disappeared. I heard him take a few steps towards me and my body tensed. The sound of his ruffling shirt startled me. I cringed thinking he was going to hit me for leaving him. Instead, I felt his soft hand stroke my cheek.
"Charles told me you haven't been home for a few days. I was worried." I doubted that. He probably thought I was with another guy. But at least he's being nice. For now. "Were you alone?" A possessive tone taking over his voice. I was too afraid of him to talk. I tensed when he lifted his hand, expecting a slap for my silence.
"You didn't answer my question..." My voice was soft, I wondered if he even heard me. I could feel his energy change from calm to angry. Fuck... I should've have talked. Like I expected, he slapped me across the face. I fell to the carpeted floor, cupping my cheek. Adriel was punching the wall.
"Why the fuck do you have to be so aggravating?!" He yelled and punched the wall again. This was my chance. He was distracted. He didn't notice when I crawled to the door. Or when I unlocked the closet door. Knowing he still didn't notice me move in the darkness, I shoved the door open and ran out to the balcony.
"NATHAN!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Adriel ran out to grab me as Nathan was climbing up the ivy. "Nathan! Help me!" I screamed again, thrashing about in Adriel's arms. My mind was racing. I was trying to remember my self defense lessons. Fuck! Please something come back to me. SING! Yay for the Miss Congeniality movie! Quickly with all my strength, I elbowed Adriel in the stomach, then the nose, I stomped on his foot, then punched him in the groin. I ran and got my bag out of the closet. Grabbing Nathan's hand, I dragged him down the stairs and out the front door. He took my keys from me and started the car as the two of us piled in.
"Who the hell was that?!" Nathan prodded, his breathing heavy like my own. I kept silent. I didn't want him to know about Adriel. I didn't want him to know about that part of my life. What if I told him and he thinks I'm damaged like so many other guys that found out? I can't do that. Not again, not ever. I never want anyone else to know about that part of me. "Delilah." Nathan's voice was stern but gentle. "Please tell me." He laid his hand gently on my thigh. I began crying. I can't tell him. I can't. I shook my head and turned to look out the window, shrugging off his hand.
"I'll tell you when I'm ready..." I sighed, looking back at him, a small smile on my lips. My smile faded when Nathan's eyes widened. I quickly looked in the side view mirror seeing the purple-ish bruise developing on my cheek.
"What else did he do to you?" Nathan's hands tightened on the wheel and his eyes narrowed. I was surprised, he was so protective of me already.
"Nothing. He only slapped me." I thought a bit. I was lucky this time. He didn't hurt me like last time. He didn't hurt me like Charles has. Only a slap. Only a slap... I had to admit, for a few moments, he was the Adriel I loved. I almost wanted him back. But like I said. Almost. He hadn't changed, even though he seemed like the old him for just a minute.
"Hey." Nathan nudged my arm. "We're back. Come on. So Ms. 'I-Don't-Like-New-Clothes' can have a shower." His voice teasing. I smiled and threw my arms around him. I kissed his cheek as I pulled away.
"You're great, you know that?" I smiled, looking into his eyes. I knew if I looked long enough, I would get lost in those beautiful green eyes.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've heard that I'm great before. Oh, and don't forget I'm sexy." He laughed. I loved his laugh, it was husky and smooth. His lips, they were perfectly shaped. They looked so soft. I wonder... How.. They... Feel... My eyes felt droopy as our lips inched closer. I could feel my heart beating faster in my chest the closer Nathan got. It seemed like an eternity before our lips met. When they finally did, the same spark of electricity coursed through my lips and flowed to the rest of my body.
I lost myself in that kiss. All the anguish from the last several days just seemed to disappear the more intense our kiss got. His lips moved in perfect sync with mine. I smiled during our kiss and gently bit his lower lip causing him to gasp. I took my opportunity and quickly licked his upper lip with my tongue which lured his tongue out.

I parted from Nathan groaning. Damnit Lindsay. "Sorry... Hold on." I pressed the "Answer" icon on my iPhone. "Hey, hun. What's up?"
"Delilah! Are you okay?! I saw Adriel going to your house this morning!" I sighed.. I'm so going to yell at her later.
"Uh.. Yeah... I saw him. I'll tell you about it later, kay? I'm kinda busy." I smiled at Nathan, giving him a little wink. I'm so amazed how he makes me forget about everything bad around me. "I'll call you later tonight.. Or tomorrow... Hehe." I hung up quickly, tossing my phone into my bag. I turned back to Nathan. "So where were-" Nathan cut me off when his lips met mine. I think I'm hooked.
I was looking through Nathan's fridge after my shower when he wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my bruised cheek.
"I've been wanting to kiss you since I met you. How are you so irresistible?" I smiled and turned in his arms.
"I'm not sure." I quirked my eyebrow with a puzzled look on my face. I gasped as if I made a discovery. "Maybe I am just too hot to resist. Careful, hun, you might burn yourself." He pretended his fingertips got burned and moved them for me to fan them with my hands. We both laughed and I returned to my search as he wrapped his arms around me again.
"Do you like boxing by any chance?" Well that was random.
"Boxing? I didn't take you as the boxing type. Anyways. Yeah! I love it. I was actually in a little league thing when I was younger. Why? You wanna take me to a match?" I'm full of surprises I know. I smiled at him as what I said registered with him.
"Really?!" I nodded, smiling even wider seeing his giant grin. "Well, something like that. I'm actually in a league. And I uhm... Heh." Aww! He's shy! "Would you come watch me? If you don't want to I understand."
"Of course I'll go silly!!!" I kissed him. "You better kick his ass since I'll be watching. You haven't fully wooed me yet, loverboy." The look of joy on Nathan's face made my heart flutter.
"Okay. We're leaving in an hour."
A/N: They kissed! Wooo!
