I Will Be Strong For You (A Nathan Sykes Fanfic)

55) If We're Alright

"Should we head out tonight? How about shopping?" I called downstairs.

"Sounds great. We'll go in an hour!" Nina called back.

I nodded as I headed into my closet. I changed into the peach skirt the girls made me buy and a black sweatshirt that I paired with black ankled converse.

I called Nathan up right away as he picked up quickly.

"Hey love. Can't talk. Really busy." He said.

I sighed. "Okay Nathan."

"Are you wearing a skirt?" He looked down at me.

"Yeah. I mean, why look like a guy out in public?" I asked 

He sighed, "You saw that, love?"

"Saw what?" I raised an eye brow.

He sighed again as he nodded his head no.

"I am so sorry." 

"Look, Sykes. I shouldn't keep you. You said you were busy so I'll let you go. I'll talk to you tonight."

"Tonight?" He asked.

"Don't we always?" 

"I am sorry I have a concert tonight and a late performance at a club." He apologized.

"I'll see you later, Sykes." 

"I'm so sorry." He said again before I hung up.

I guess this is what comes with dating a popstar.

I sighed as I hid my face into my hands groaning.

"Dani? Are you okay?" I heard someone's voice.

I looked up to see Ariana on my computer screen.

I looked at her curiously.

"You picked up the call. Probably with your elbow or something when you hid your face." She explained.

I shrugged and nodded.

"So are you okay?" She asked concerned.

I shook my head no, "I don't know. I miss my sloth." I pouted.

"Aw Dan. I am sorry." She popped a lip.

I lifted my shoulders before dropping down again. 

"It's not your fault. So what are they doing right now?" I asked.

"Chilling. But Nathan is taking me out for the night before they go to their concert and all." 

I nodded. "He said he was too busy to talk to me."

She popped her lip again. 

"If he saw how sad you are he would talk to you for sure."

"Thanks, but I would rather have him talk to me because he wants to. Not because I'm upset and lonely."

"I understand. So do you want to help me choose a dress for tonight? Maybe to bring a smile to your face?"

I gave her a small fake smile. "Sure. What are your choices?"

She squealed as she held up two dresses that I would only put to shame.

"Which one?" She asked.

I pointed to a red dress with long sleeves and shoulder cut outs that went to mid knee.

"Thank you, Dani." She smiled as she set both dresses down.

I nodded.

"Hey baby. Who are you talking to?" I heard his familiar voice.
