Jordan's POV
"The view is amazing, Princess". I nodded in agreement as I felt Nates arms snake around my waist. I was eight am and neither of us could sleep.
"It is beautiful out here". I turned to face Nate. His hair was long and his beard scruffy. "By the way, how are we even going to afford this place. The money from the house will only go so far". He shook his head and sat down in a chair, pulling me into his lap. We were on the balcony. The sun was shining and I couldn't ask for anything more perfect.
"Don't worry baby girl, I've already paid 6 months in advance". I smiled down at him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Thank you Nate, for everything". He smiled and nodded looking back and forth from my eyes to my lips.
"No problem princess. You deserve it. But I need to go". He stood up and I jumped off of his lap. "I'm meeting up with some old friends. Don't worry though, I'll be home around 6 so me you and Isabelle can all go to dinner". He walked inside, leaving me on the patio confused as to why he didn't kiss me.
I suddenly jumped as I heard the sound of a screen door opening. I looked over to a balcony similar to ours. Must be the neighbors.
A tall and muscular guys then stepped out. He was in pajama pants and a big shirt but you could tell he was really built. He rubbed his eyes and yawned as I began to study his features. He had a string jaw line and pale skin with fluffy brown hair that matched his sift brown eyes and pink lips. I caught myself staring soon realizing he was looking back.
"Hey". His voice was deep and raspy, it reminded me of Nate in the morning. "You must be the new neighbor". I blushed looking down at my feet, reminding myself that I can not fuck a total stranger even if they're hot as fuck.
"Uh, yeah. I'm Jordyn". He flashed me a pearly white smile, perfect.
"I'm Shawn, if you didn't know". I shook my head and scrunched my eyebrows together. Why would I know him?
"No. I didn't". Shawn looked at me as if I was surprising.
"Oh. Well, now you know, I guess". I nodded as I heard the screen door open again, but this time it was mine. Nate stepped out, looking around the balcony for something.
"Hey Nate, what are you looking for?" He reached over on the table and grabbed his red lighter.
"Just this, no biggie". He smiled and kissed my cheek, heading back inside not even noticing Shawn. Once the door closed, I looked back at Shawn. His smile was gone and he had a look of anger in his eyes.
"Are you okay, Shawn?" Snapping out if his daze, he flashed me a forced smile.
"Yea, fine". I chuckled, looking at the tattoo on his arm. "So, Jordyn. Is that your boyfriend?"
"Um. It's complicated". I heard the door slam, letting me know that Nate had left.
"How complicated". Shawn eyed me down, hard.
"I don't know. But he is not my boyfriend". He smirked, looking to his feet and licking his capped lips. "Anyway. I have to go. So you later Shawn.."
"Mendes! I'm, uh, Shawn Mendes". I nodded and giggled walking inside.
"See you later, Shawn Mendes".
****************
"You guys are taking forever. In gonna go wait in the car". I heard Isabelle yell up the stairs as I finished tying my combat boots. As I heard the door slam, I stood up to face Nate who was leaning against the dresser.
"You look beautiful, Jordyn". I blushed and wrapped my arms around my body as he stared me up and down.
"Thanks Nate". Smiling, he walked over to me and pulled my hands to my sides.
"Don't cover up yourself baby, your beautiful. But you do need to pull this short as skirt down". I laughed loudly and he pulled my black maxi skirt down revealing my belly button hidden by my crop top.
"Okay, lets go". Nate grabbed my hand and led me down the stairs. I didn't pulled away.
As we walked down to the lobby, I heard a familiar voice as I immediately pulled my hand away from Nate's.
"Hey, what was that for-"
"Jordyn, hey". Shawn walked up to me and Nate looked at me confused.
"Hey Shawn". Awkward tension was set between us, Nate still confused as fuck.
"Shawn, this is Nate. Nate, this is our next door neighbor, Shawn Mendes. He has the apartment next to ours". They shook hands, neither saying anything to eachother.
"It's nice to meet you man, you seem pretty chill. We should all get together some time and hang out". Shawn tried to break the tension but Nate just stood quiet.
"That sounds like fun, Shawn. But we have to go, we're going to dinner and my little sister is in the car waiting on us". Shawn nodded and moved to the side as we walked away. I could feel him watching us.
Dinner was long and quiet. Nate spoke not one word to me while Isabelle was deep in some conversation on her phone.
Driving back was just as quiet too. The Radio played as rain began to fall. Looking out the window, my eyes followed the individual rain drops as they slid down the window, engulfing the smaller ones.
But I jolted forwards as the car came to a stop. Immediately, Isabelle hopped out a raced into the building, trying not to get caught by the rain.
"Jordyn, we nodded to talk".
"I know", I whispered as I lowered my head and unbuckled my seat belt. "Let's talk inside".
Talking off my boots, I sat on me and Nate's bed. He was leaning against the door frame.
"Jordyn", I looked at him, his eyes teary.
"Yes Nate".
"Did I do something?" I shook my head looking up at him. His hands were shoved in his pockets and a feeling of shame washed over me.
"No Nate. You did nothing wrong".
"Then why don't you want me?" I stayed quiet not sure of the answer. We tried this before. I figure we weren't supposed to be together. So I shrugged my shoulders. "You don't want me and I don't know why Jordyn. I moved away from all my friends and family just to start over with you. I've set you up in this amazing apartment and have given you everything you wanted. I want to be with you Jordyn but you obviously don't feel the same. How come when you heard Shawn's voice you yanked your hand from mine? Do you want him? If so just tell me not because I'm in it for the long run".
"I know I have Fucked up in the past but I'm trying to change and make this work for you Jordyn. You are the girl I want to be with for the rest of my life and nobodies gonna change how I feel. I love you Jordyn. So if you don't want me, just say it. Don't lead me on because it will just end the same. Me getting drunk and fucking some bimbo trying to forget you. And be honest. Do now fucking lie to me. Do you want me, the same way I want you?"
Tears poured down Nate's face as be began to sob. I've never seen him crying before, I know he sees it as a sign of weakness. Damn.
Standing up, I walked over to Nate as he refused to make eye contact with me.
"Nate, I love you too. So much actually". As I whispered those words Nate looked at me in a moment of silence before quickly throwing me on the bed. He climbed on top of me and began to kiss me roughly and passionately. He ripped off my shirt as I began to gasp for air quickly stopping him. Me and Nate have never had sex. He was telling the truth. He was in it for the long run. But that wasn't why I stopped him. I wanted to, my body ached for his tough but we really couldnt.
"Nate". I giggled as he looked down at me in confusion
"I'm sorry Jordyn, did I do something wrong?" I shook my head cupping his face in my hands.
"No baby, you're perfect. But my sister's in the other room". I laughed as Nate gave me that 'really bitch' look before suddenly standing up. "Hey, where are you going?" Nate walked out of the room appearing back a few minutes later.
"I gave Isabelle my credit card and sent her out shopping with Connor, that should give us a few hours". I laughed as he was quick to get rid of my sister.
"It does not take a few hours to fuck".
"I know Princess. I'm not going to fuck you", Nate attached our lips again as I felt his hard member rub against me. "I'm going to make love to you".
