"What do you wanna do today?" Nate asked and I shrugged.
"I don't know, is it too late to go to church?" I asked and he shook his head.
"No, we've got about an hour?" He asked checking his phone. "Yea, we've got an hour till it starts," he said and I nodded. "Do you wanna go?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Why not?" I asked and he sat up making me fall off his chest.
"Sorry," he said, chuckling, and I shook my head as I sat up. "You really wanna go?" He asked and I nodded.
"Sure, I was never apposed to the idea," I said and he kissed me quickly.
"You need a shower?" He asked, smirking, and I shook my head and rolled my eyes.
"No, I'll put my hair up," I said and he nodded before kissing me again and getting up.
While he was having a shower I got dressed and made some breakfast sandwiches.
We switched spots when he got out of the shower and I went into the bathroom and did my makeup.
"Why do you do that?" Nate asked, walking in as I applied mascara to my eyelashes.
"Because I don't wanna look like a homeless person," I said and he gently moved my hair off my shoulder and kissed my neck a couple times.
"You never look like a homeless person," he whispered into my ear and I smiled as I closed the mascara bottle.
"Not when I have someone taking such good care of me all the time," I said as I slid my arms around his neck. He shrugged and kissed me quickly.
"You gonna do something with your hair or are you ready to go?" He asked and I shrugged.
"I'll braid it on the way over," I said and he nodded, taking my hand in his and I followed him out of the bathroom into his bedroom.
The apartment was a very open concept place, there was no wall or door separating the kitchen from the bedroom and there wasn't really a living area it was more like you walked into the dining area and straight into the kitchen which you can see his bed from. At that point you take a left and there's the bathroom. It's a nice simple apartment and I wouldn't really mind living here.

"Build your kingdom here, let the darkness fear; show your mighty hand, heal our streets and land; set your church on fire, win this nation back; change the atmosphere, build your kingdom here; we pray."
"Lets pray," the worship leader said and everyone bowed their heads. "Father, you are good," he started and I closed my eyes, "thank you for providing everything we need and getting us here safely, I pray you would fill this place with your spirit and that everyone who has any doubts of your presence would feel you here and believe."

You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hands
You spoke all life into motion
My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure
And carried the cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to standSo what can I say
And what could I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You

"What'd you think?" Nate asked when the service was over and I sighed, grabbing my jacket and purse.
"I liked it," I said and he smiled, putting his arm around my shoulders and kissing my cheek.
"Nathan!" I heard Ruth call and Nate looked around before spotting her.
"Grandma," he said smiling as he kissed her cheek.
"Decided to come I see," his grandfather said and I nodded, suddenly feeling very self conscious about the skinny jeans and grey long sleeve shirt I was wearing.
"yea, we got up early and figured why not," Nate said, taking his arm off my shoulders and slipping his hand into mine, squeezing my hand gently.
"How'd you like it?" his grandfather asked me and I smiled.
"I liked it just fine," I said and he nodded.
"What do you kids have planned for the rest of the day?" Ruth asked and Nate shrugged, looking at me and smiling.
"We'll probably go out for lunch and then head back to my place and hang out," Nate said and I nodded.
"I have to head back tonight," I said and he nodded before kissing my head.
"Where do you live?" Nate's grandfather asked and I glanced up at Nate.
"Chicago," I said and he nodded.
"Well, we better let you kids get on with your day," Ruth said, sighing, and Nate nodded.
"I'll call you," Nate said as he let go of my hand and hugged Ruth. she then gave me a quick hug and, after, Nate slid his arm around my waist.
"It was nice to meet you both," I said and Ruth nodded and Nates grandfather grunted.

"I'm gonna run inside," Nate said as he put the car in park in front of the drug store.
"Nate," I sighed and he kissed me quickly before getting out.
"You aren't gonna talk me out of this," he said before closing his door and going inside. I sighed, sitting back and going on my phone.
11:30am; doctors appointment for ribs; DO NOT CANCEL
I sighed again and plugged my phone in and played some music.
"I got a lot to say to you
Yeah I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies,"
"Okay, you ready to go?" Nate asked as he closed his door and put the bag in the back seat. I turned down the music and nodded as he leaned over and kissed my cheek.

We went to subway for lunch before heading back to his place. I packed and got ready to go as Nate made me a sandwich for the road.

"You packed?" he asked and I nodded, turning and tucking my hair behind my ear.
"I'll run this downstairs," I said and he shook his head, walking over and kissing me roughly.
I slid my arms around his neck and kissed him again as he pulled my shirt over my head  and tossed it to the floor. He smiled, kissing my neck, and I moaned softly. I undid his jeans, tugging them down and he pushed me onto the bed as he stepped out of them. He crawled on top of me and kissed me, running his hands into my hair.
He undid my jeans and tugged them off, running his hand along my inner thigh as he kissed my neck gently. I pulled his shirt off and tossed it on the floor before pulling him down and kissing him.
"You sure you wanna do this?" I asked as he thumbed with my underwear. He got up and walked out into the kitchen, coming back a second later with the bag from the drug store.
