Something New

Chapter 4

As soon as I walked into my house, my mother practically jumped on me asking about Nathan.

"Oh my goodness gracious!" she yelled "Who was that beautiful boy who walked you home?" "Was he the person who bought the pie that's in the kitchen?" she whispered like it was some scandalous secret.

"Um. Yeah mom that was Nathan he lives next door. He showed me around the city and we went to his friend Mason's house who also lives next door."

"Well, isn't he something. Did he ask you on a date yet? I mean you are wearing that slutty outfit and I hear the boys like that now-a-days."

"Mom! First of all, my outfit is NOT slutty and second of all I only met him like three hours ago! But, they did invite me to go with them to the mid-summer bash this weekend and I was just gonna go pack..." I trailed off.

"What?! Mid-summer bash? Sounds fun. And plus you could get you some some so you can get over Alex," she added with an eye roll.

She never did like Alex for some reason.

"Anyway honey, you need to go pack. How long will you be gone? Your brother is also gonna be gone so I can have some time alone! Thank God."

"I'm guessing it will only be for the weekend. I should be back by like Sunday night or Monday morning," I shrugged ignoring the last part of her sentence

"Okay...

As soon as I made it to my room. my phone buzzed. Looking down with a goofy smile thinking it was Nathan, I oped the message.

It was my best friend Amber. I was so sad to leave her in Minnesota because she wanted to leave our town more than anyone that I knew.

'hey babe! I miss you SOOOOO much already! How's New Orleans? Have you met any hot boys yet? Call me boo! xoxoxoxo,' it read.

Smiling at her message, I responded, 'Girl, I have some news ALREADY! Answer your phone and get ready!'

After getting comfy on my bed I got my phone out and called my best friend.

"JASMINE!!!! I miss you so much! How are you!!!!" she squealed into the phone.

"AMBERRRR!!" I mocked her in the same high pitched voice. "I miss you too girl! I'm really good and New Orleans isn't bad actually. And girlllllll I met someone or someones rather."

"What the hell! Already? Damn girl you work fast! Now tell me about these boys," she said excitedly.

I took a deep breath and began to tell her about the two guys.

After I finished, she said, "That Mason dude sounds like a dick!"

"Yeah he actually is. But Nathan...."

"Yeah I know! He sounds so sweet! Did he text you yet?"

I frowned thinking about the fact that he hasn't yet.

"I'm sure he will. It's still pretty early. But I have to go. My mom has people over and I have to go socialize with them."

I can practically see the huge crease in the middle of her forehead as she pouted.

"Okay, Am. I'll talk to you later! Love you boo!"

"Love you too hun! Text me about the trip!"

"I will! Bye!" I hung up the phone.

Halfway through packing my phone vibrated.

I looked down at my phone. I gasped and then giggled when I read the screen.

Mr.SexyboyNathan

'How do you like the name? I think it's quite fitting ;)'

Giggling like a little school girl, I responded, 'HaHa very funny Nathan. It's about to get changed "Mr.Sexyboy"'

'So you agree that I'm a sexy beast? I knew it!

'Oh no! don't tell me your turning into Mason! I can't deal with two of y'all!'

'Lol! of course not! I'm the good one remember? I was just joking with you Jas.'

Jas, I could get used to that. 'Very funny Nathan. Anyways I have to finish packing so I don't scramble in the morning.'

'Yeah sure :( We'll be picking you up at about 10 tomorrow morning. Sweet dreams beautiful :)'

Did Nathan call me beautiful? Great now I'll never sleep tonight.

After I finished packing, I showered and laid in bed reading and rereading our conversation.

I could just picture his beautifully sculpted lips uttering his parting words.

'Sweet dreams beautiful.'

Yeah more like dirty dreams.

At exactly 10 o'clock the next morning Nathan called me the same moment a horn beeped outside my house.

"Hey Nathan. I'm coming down right now. Would you mind coming in and grabbing my bags from the foyer. Please?"

"Yeah sure. I'll be right in," he hung up.

By the time I got in the car, fastened my seatbelt, and got comfortable, we were on the road.

"Cupcake, you look really nice today," Mason said while making eye contact with me through the rear view mirror.

"Thanks?" I said. That's was very odd of him to say. I mean I've only known him for two days, but I think I know enough to know that he wouldn't just throw out a compliment like that.

"Anytime cupcake," he winked at me. There's the Mason I met yesterday.

"So since you are riding with us today, I'm just gonna let you know right now that we stop for food like every 15 minutes. Actually we should be stopping right about now. Come on Mas. To McDonald's we go!" Nathan shouted.

"Wait. You do eat meat right?" Nathan asked.

Mason just snickered to himself while getting off the interstate and pulling into the drive-thru at McDonald's.

"Yeah of course I do. Can I have two hot and spices, a medium fry, and a sprite?" the boys just looked at me.

"Please?" I offered. "I have my own money if that's any constellation. "

"Damn cupcake, you sure can eat huh?" Mason inquired.

"Um. I guess so. So how much do I owe?"

"What? No! You can't pay for your own food when there are two guys in the front seat! What's wrong with you woman?!" Nathan scolded me.

"Okay. Fine." I sat back into the seat and started playing on my phone.

After getting our food, Nathan yells, "Let's play the license plate game!"

It was going to be a long ride.
