Will I Ever Get It Right?

Will I Ever Get It Right? - Chapter 19

Nate’s POV

While she finished her last point of Science study, I looked through the English notification. Or rather, I tried to look through the notification while I watched her write her last point. She did this really cute thing when she’s concentrating when she half sticks her tongue out of her mouth and tilts her head slightly…

Jesus I actually can’t remember the last time I noticed the little things like that about a girl…

I quickly snapped my eyes back to the notification and actually started reading it, only because she looked like she was finishing up. Are you serious, the exam is on Romeo and Juliet! I suck at Shakespeare! I cleared my throat. “So it says here our exam is gonna be on a bit of Romeo and Juliet… geez I dunno if thats a good thing or a bad thing! Shakespeare’s so confusing sometimes..” 

She scooted closer to me, I could feel the heat radiating off her body as she spoke. “Hey it’s not that hard, boy likes girl, girl likes boy, they love each other but there is a dramatic twist! Ha! But it’s fine we’ll get into that by Friday…”

Dramatic twist hmm? Obviously I knew what it was, I think I just found her talking about Shakespeare a bit of a turn on… I turned to her, causing her to stop what she was saying, her voice trailing off into the silence that filled the room. I murmured “And what would that dramatic twist be hmm?”, my voice hoarse and breath blowing across her face.

She waited a moment before murmuring back “The twist was, they couldn’t be together because of all the crap around them.” Oh God her voice was so sexy when it was filled with the lust that it had right now!

I vowed I wouldn’t let myself do this because I didn’t want to ruin our friendship, but I leaned in anyways, just the smallest bit, but only so the tips of our noses were touching and allowing her to push it further, if she wanted. Our lips were only a breath apart and I subconsciously felt my breath catch in my throat. We both seemed to lean in at the same time, closer and closer, I could feel her arm bring it’s way around to my neck. I was about to press my lips to hers when suddenly her phone went off and we both jumped. 

She sighed almost apologetically before glancing at the phone, and then back at me. She said, “Sorry I- I gotta take this..” and she picked up the phone, tapped answer and slowly walked around speaking to what sounded like her boss. What sh!t timing she has… this could’ve been my chance! 

She sounded like she was finishing the call.  “Should be fine, I’ll see you Saturday then! Thank you!”… “Bye!”.

She clicked the end button, putting her phone back into her bag and walked back over to where I was still sitting. She took in a deep breath and sighed, almost looking about as frustrated as me for a second, almost.

She hesitated before speaking. “So umm… I-I’ll see you tomorrow then? I’ve really gotta go…”

The sexual tension that we were probably both mistaking for awkwardness was so thick I swear you could’ve cut it with a knife. I realized I should probably answer her so I cleared my throat and nodded, stuttering about as much as she was. “Y-yeah I’ll see you then. I’ll just come and see you out…”

She seemed to almost want to keep her distance from me which, I’ll admit did sting a bit. She shook her head ever so slightly and said “No! No it’s fine just go about whatever you are gonna do now I’ll be right.” She shot me a half smile that pretty much confirmed my thoughts and quickly kissed my cheek, making no other moves to touch me as I watched her longingly leave my house. 

I wish I’d asked her what that all was.
