Thief (n.g.)

Chapter 31

Babe's POV

Nash said to dress comfortably so I throw on a sweater Brenna gave to me. It is absolutely too big but that's how Brennan said its supposed to be. I add some leggings and the Vans I got when Brent and I went shopping. I put my hair in a neat bun and I am sure to be very careful with my make-up, I'm sure I look enough like a hobo.

When I was out the bathroom Brenna scans me.

“How is it one night you wear a fancy tight dress and you look amazing, the next day you wear a loose casual sweater and you still look awesome?" She ask.

“Really? I look okay?" I ask scanning myself.

“Of course you do! Like a model for clothes!" She beams.

I smile. “Thank you, Brenna."

“Your welcome."

Nash was pretty quiet the car ride. I didn't talk much either. It was kind of awkward, so I just stared out the window most of the time. I wonder where we're going.

It's a lot warmer than it has been for a while, it's warmer than fall today actually, the weather has been easier for the past few days.

We ended up at this huge park. I'm so confused why are we here? He led me over to this drop off area of the park.

“Hold on." He instructs has he jumps down the drop off.

It made me jump a little I wasn't expecting him to jump off. 

He extends his arms out to help me down.

“Are you sure about this?" I ask. “This seems dangerous."

“Well then I'll protect you. Just trust me." He says.

“If I die I'm going to be really mad at you." I warn him as I bend down for him to pull me towards him.

“Woah!" He acts like he was about to drop me.

I playfully hit his arm has he lets my feet touch the the dark dirt ground.

“How could you be mad at me if you dead any way?" He chuckles.

“I don't know." I smile.

I soon find out that this walk was the date. I prefer this date over going out to eat actually. This date could last forever if we wanted it to. It actually does, we've been out here just walking for almost eight hours and not one of them is spent silent. It really is fun too.

Eventually we find ourselves on a bench. At this point both of us are pretty hyper. All of the sudden Nash kisses me.

“Sorry I've been dying to do that all day!" He laughs.

I decide even with as awkward it made me feel inside, to laugh along.

He seems to calm down.

“I know this isn't what you want me to ask, but I'm going to ask you something." He tells me.

My heart races, what does he mean? I nod.

“Who's it gonna be? I know that you've already decided. Just tell me how you feel." He folds his hands together.

“Honestly?" I say.

  “Honestly." He answers.

“Honestly, I deserve someone better than you. And I think Cameron has earned me more than you. I'm sorry Nash but It would be stupid to choose you. Cameron is obviously the better choice."

He nods and looks at the ground. His face is worth a million sad songs.

“But for some odd reason, I choose you." I finally add.

“What?" He ask quickly looking at me.

“I don't know why but-" he cuts me off by kissing me again.

“I can finally do that when ever I want to." He smiles.

I nod and smile back.

Nash's POV

Call me lame and all that shit, because I know I am. I don't even care though, I was happy. To be honest, the last time I was this happy was with Beth. She was a damn good actress, I remember the first time I met her.

Flashback

“You don't even drink coffee Brenna why are we here?" I huff.

“They have more than coffee here, and you promised me Starbucks!" She beams poking my cheek.

I push her hand away while rolling my eyes and opening the door for her.

“What do you want?" I ask her pulling out my wallet.

“No no, I'll pay, I just needed a ride."

“Whatever, you need to get your license. Lately Cameron has been pawning you all off to me to take you places and I'm sick of doing that shit."

“Hey! There's kids in here lower your voice." She says as her cheeks glow red of embarrassment. “I'm trying bub, but I've been so busy with all the stuff going on lately."

She was referring to the new gang that hates us so much because I called their leader a bitch, after I found out he was cheating on his girl with some chick.

“I know you are sis-" Then all the sudden the girl in front of us in line turns around running into me and all sorts of drinks go down me.

  I take a deep breath thanking God it wasn't scolding hot coffee.

  “Oh my goodness!" The girl panics. “I'm so sorry." She grabs some napkins and begins wiping my chest.

“No, no, you're fine." I was a lot nicer then.

“No I really am sorr-"

“Hey," I say grabbing her wrist lightly. “Its okay."

She looks at me and I finally get a glimpse at her beautiful features that her blonde hair hid so well. A feeling suddenly hits me, and from the look on this strangers face, it hit her just as hard too.

“Hi, I'm Nash." I smile.

“Bethany," she smiles. “But when you call me tonight you can call me tonight, you can call me Beth."

And I did.

End of Flashback

“Nash!" Babe says a bit loudly, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“What? Are you okay?" I ask.

“I'm pretty sure that's what I should be asking you, I've said your name like three times."

“Sorry." I apologize.

“What's on your mind?" She ask curiously, tilting her head to the side.

“Nothing." I lie.

She raises her eyebrow, “You'll tell me sometime." she says confidently standing to her feet.

I grab her hand. “Yeah, we'll see."
