Lost In The Moment

Chapter Twenty Six

Nate woke me up around 8:30am when he got up and I rolled over and felt his side of the bed. I moaned slightly and he kissed my head.
I listened to him walk away and close the bathroom door before falling onto my back and sighing, thinking over the events of last night.
First, I left in the middle of the night to see my semi abusive boyfriend.
Second, I had sex with the very same semi abusive boyfriend
Third, it was amazing
Fourth, I kept having flashbacks throughout the whole 'lovemaking'
A tear slid down the side of my face and I wiped it away before it fell into my ear which was the most annoying thing ever.
"You ok?" I heard Nate ask and I sniffled a little.
"Yea," I said before clearing my throat, "yea, I'm fine," I said and he sat down on my side of the bed and stroked my hair.
"What's wrong?" He asked and I smiled, my eyes still closed.
"Nothing love," I said and he sighed.
"Last night?" He asked hesitantly and I gasped and sook my head, sitting up and looking into his beautiful blue eyes.
"No! No you were amazing last night, personally I don't think that was your first time but whatever," I said, adding the last part mostly for myself, and he nodded.
"Well then what is it?" He asked and I sighed, reaching out and caressing his cheek.
"I'm just tired," I said after a second and he nodded.
"I gotta go to the studio," he said and I nodded.
"Ok, have a good day," I said and he smiled, kissing my forehead.
"Think about what I said Kelsey," he said before getting up and walking away. "Love you!" He called before leaving.
"Love you too," I whispered to an empty apartment. I face planted into the blanket between my legs and screamed, hitting the bed on either side of my legs. I stopped when my phone rang and got up and walked over to my bag and grabbed it. Margaret. Fan-fucking- tastic. I answered it and barely got out 'hello' before she started on me.
"How dare you?!! You're back for barely a month before you run off to some guys bed?! You have a fucking son! How do you sleep at night knowing he misses you?! Knowing he's gonna wake up without a mother?!" She shouted and I sighed.
"Ok I'mna stop you there," I said and she gasped.
"Who the hell do you think you are?! I took you in when your family died! I fed you and clothed you and raised your child!" She shouted and I nodded, playing with the edge of the blanket.
"However," I said and she went quiet. "However, Charlie will not be waking up without a mother he will be waking up without an aunt and I am a grown ass women who can go about her life as she fucking pleases!" I said as calmly as possible.
"Where even are you? When are you coming back?" She asked, clearly still pissed.
"I don't know," I sighed, running my hand through my hair and flopping back on the bed.
"Well let me know when you know, whenever that'll be," she said and I nodded, tossing one of the pillows down the bed and onto the floor.
"You got it," I said and she sighed before hanging up.
I tossed my phone away from me and face planted into the bed again.
After letting a few tears fall I took a deep breath and got up, collecting my clothes from around the apartment. I tossed them on the floor by the closet and sighed as I put my bag on the bed and unzipped it.
I slipped a long sleeve shirt over my head and tugged on some skinny jeans before walking into the kitchen. I washed the dishes and swept the floor before making the bed and setting up my laptop on the little round table by the kitchen.

After a couple hours I made a couple sandwiches and salads, slipped on my jacket, scarf, and hat before leaving, locking the door with a spare key under the mat.
I drove into town and parked in front of the studio Nate went to the last time I was here.
I went inside and was about to go to the front desk when I saw Nate walking away from me. I started toward him when I saw he was walking with someone. A tall well dressed man with short brown hair was walking with Nate, obviously very into the conversation.
I slowed my pace and followed them to the tracking room when Nate turned and saw me. He smiled that gorgeous smile that made his eyes sparkle and said something to the guy he was talking to before jogging down the hall and, grabbing me around the waist, pulled me into a tight hug. I let out a laugh and hugged him back before pulling away and kissing him quickly.
"What're you doing here?" He asked, "that came out wrong," he said quietly, stepping back, rubbing the back of his neck, and chuckling.
"I brought you lunch," I said and he gave me that beautiful smile that melts my heart.
He took my hand and we walked down the hall into the tracking room.

I hung out with Nate and recorded some vocals for one of his songs before we went out for dinner and headed back to his apartment.
We both sat at the table and played footsies while working for a couple hours before Nate got up and started doing something in the kitchen.
After a minute he put a mug of tea on the table beside my laptop along with a sandwich.
"Wha-what's this for?" I asked and he kissed my forehead, rubbing my back.
"You didn't have a lot to eat at dinner," he said simply, running his hand through my hair as he walked away. He's at down on the bed and took off his shirt, tossing it in a pile of dirty clothes.
"Oh well now your just torturing me," I said sarcastically as I stood up and rested my arms on the island. He smirked and stood up, rubbing the back of his neck.
"And why is that?" He asked and I sighed, tucking my hair behind my ears.
"I need to get this done and sent tonight," I said and he nodded, walking over and kissing my neck. I moaned quietly as he pulled my shirt over my head and tossed it onto the island.
He took my face in his hands and stroked my cheeks with his thumbs before kissing me, his tongue dancing with mine in my mouth.
He sighed and kissed me again as I stepped out from behind the counter and he put his hands on my waist, holding me against him.
I ran my hand into his hair, keeping one on the side of his neck, as he picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He walked over to the bed and laid me down, kissing his way down to my waistline. He undid my jeans and tugged them off before crawling back on top of me and kissing me.
