DESTINY

Chapter Four

Control yourself tory,control yourself...I took one deep breath and voíla my senses were on again.
"Hi...uumm...Nate...sorry I mean Nathan",...ground I command you to open up and swallow me right now
"No it's okay you can just call me Nate",He flashed a gorgeous smile at me and I could feel the fluttering of the butterflies in my stomach increase that I almost thought I could hear them.I immediately looked down to prevent nate from seeing my blush but then I heard him gasp.
"What's wrong??"
"Your head,it has a huge wound.It could be something serious and you might even get an infection",
I could feel the sincere concern he had for me in his voice,my nerves tingled.
"No,don't worry about that it's nothing serious it's not even painful anymore",
It was like I was talking to myself,Nate was busy looking around probably trying to figure out what he could do to my wound.Toby walked into the room licking his finger."You are really a great cook Mr,I enjoyed the breakfast you made for us but I don't think tory loved it because she only ate a little",...aarrgh children
Nate looked at me and I could see an emotion flash in his eyes for a second and then it was gone.I think he was hurt.He knelt down to match toby's height.
"Hhmm guess i'll have to continue cooking for you guys until tory loves it"
'Yaay please do mr I'm sure she'll soon give in'toby grinned.
'Aye aye captain,by the way can you please bring a basin with water and a clean piece of cloth'
'okay mr'.Toby had started walking towards the kitchen when nate stopped him.
'One more thing, call me nate.I sure feel old when you call me mr'.Toby nodded and chuckled then skipped outside the room.Nate had won over toby's heart.I realised that since he entered I had not got a good look at him.Now was my chance,he was still looking away from my direction.He was wearing a chocolate coloured v neck which showed off a really masculine portion of his chest I'd die to see the rest of it and blended nicely with his skin,a black rugged skinny jeans which he had folded at the bottom and black sneakers.He looked like some male model from a fashion magazine.A male model from a fashion magazine standing in front of me.Nate looked towards my direction and caught me staring right at him.I froze for a moment and our eyes locked.I wanted to stop looking but I couldn't get myself to.Suddenly he walked towards me and stopped just a few inches from me.Most people would consider it not polite but I loved it.His strawberry flavoured cologne filled my lungs and for a moment there, all I could think of was nate and strawberries and nate.
"I love your afro tory it really brings out your eyes",That did it,my pulse fastened and I felt like I could walk on air.I quickly looked down to hide my blush once again but this time he raised my head back up to look at him.I noticed that he was looking at my lips.why was he looking at my lips maybe I had bruised them too or smeared some blood on them.I acted on impulse and tried rubbing my lips with my forearm but nate stopped me.
"What are you doing tory...they're...they're perfect",He rubbed my lips with his thumb and my body reacted by shivering.Why was I fucking shivering and the temperatures outside were unreal.Why did he have this effect on me.
"Here you go mr..Sorry I mean nate,"
Toby walked in holding a basin of water which I assumed was hot from the smoke it was emitting and a white piece of cloth."Nate,why are you touching tory's lips is she hurt there too",.Toby asked so innocently and I could see a blush on nate's cheeks.
"Come on little man lets clean your sister's wound now so that she wouldn't get any infections right"
Nate took the basin and cloth toby was holding then raised one eyebrow at me.
"Oh, i'll get that ",
I tried reaching for the basin but he pulled away.
"No,am doing it and I'm not asking"
A nod is all I could manage since fireworks were going off inside my body just at the thought of him cleaning my wound.Sounds kinda gross but what matters is that nate was the one doing it.I sat at the door steps and nate sat beside me while toby stood facing us.The moment nate placed the cloth on my wound I moved back startled and almost screamed out.The water was steaming hot and I wondered how nate managed to touch it with such ease.
"It's okay tory I won't hurt u trust me", with such dreamy eyes and gorgeous body I will follow you to the ends of the earth blindfolded
I just nodded.
Nate smiled at me.His smile seemed to hold a promise of always being there for me.loving me.Deepdown I knew me and nate was impossible and I was just making up my own things but for a moment there I let myself believe in it.I smiled back.
"Hey..hey... earth to tory"Toby interrupted, "Let's go get lunch tory I'm hungry"
"Where you going to get lunch",nate asked getting up.
"At the farm,a small distance from here.we grow potatoes",toby answered enthusiastically.I looked down embarrassed,I knew nate was probably wondering which century we were actually living in.
"Let's go",I heard him say equally enthusiastic"Av never been to a farm before and I would really like to see how the potatoes look while still at the farm,"
"Cool I bet I'm way faster than you",toby said before taking off.Nate looked at me with that mysterious smile of his which held untold promises then took off after toby.
I had a feeling today was the start of something really awesome between me and nate.Most people would say I'm speaking too soon but I don't care.What mattered is I loved the feeling...alot.I smiled to myself and took off after them.
