The Boy Next Door

ch.9

I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I rubbed my eyes and got out of bed, the sun was streaming through my curtains. I walked to my bathroom and washed my face then headed downstairs.

"Well look who is up!" my mom cheerfully says to me and kisses my cheek softly. To my surprise Nate and his family were sitting at the table. I feel so embarrassed, because I am only wearing my faded blue comfy shorts and a black tank top, but I noticed Nate starring at me out of the corner of my eye, and I blush slightly.

After breakfast Nate and I cleaned up while everyone either talked in the living room or went to their rooms.

"would you like to go on a date with me?" Nate asked out of the blue while we were cleaning dishes. He looked at me, and I looked in his eyes and smiled,

"I would love to." he smiled and went back to cleaning the dishes. He stepped closer, and before I knew it my back was against the fridge. He leaned in, but before he could kiss me I had already grabbed his face in my hands and pushed my lips against his. He wrapped his arms around me waist, and I moved my hands to go around the back of hus neck. But my mom had to ruin the moment by yelling from the living room,

"Jules why dont you show Nate around the house!" Nate looked at me and smirked, and I grabbed his hand and showed him around the house. We finally got upstairs,  and I showed him my sibling's rooms,

"and here is my room." the door was already open so I walked in, and he walked behind me. Nate then grabbed me from behind and threw me on the bed him hovering over me. I laughed,  but then he started tickling me so I laughed even harder to where it hurts to breathe.

"Nate!" I yell tryung to get his hands off. He was laughing at me when he finally stopped. I pouted,

"stop laughing at me." he smiled,

"I can wipe that pout right off of your mouth. " I smirked,

"Try me." he then kissed me. It wasnt a sweet gentle kiss we usually have this one was rough, and it was like if we stopped we would die. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he ran hid hands down my hips which caused me to shiver. He soon slid his tongue along my bottom lip, and it wad the messiest kiss I have ever had. Well it's not like I've had that many kisses anyways. I cant believe I am kissing him. Just last wee I was saying he wasnt my type, and now look where we are. He is just so perfect. We were soon both gaspinh for air, staring deeply into each other's eyes. I didnt know what was going to happen next I have always guarded my heart I never let any guy close to me, I was always afraid of getting hurt. That they were just going to leave me once they found someone better or prettier. I wish I knew what he was thinking, because honestly I was afraid, of well, everything,  but especially of getting my heart broken again. From this guy lying infront of me looking intently into my eyes like he was trying to figure me out, but I never expected him to say what he told me next,

"Jules, I have never felt like this before about anyone. When I kiss you I know that your kiss can fix anything. When I see your smile butterflies erupt in my stomach. When I touch you this warm feeling spreads through me, but when I look in your eyes I feel complete. I know what it's like to get hurt, and I can see that you have been, and I want to fix you. I want to show you not all guys are the same, but most importantly I want you to know how much I love yoi, because im in love with you, and I know I sound like an idiot,  but it's true." I was so shocked to hear him say that. No one has ever said that to me, and with so much sincerity. I leaned my forehead against his and smiled,

"No, you're perfect Nate. No one has ever said that to me before. I love you so much." yeah, I know what you're thinking. We are too young to be in love, and I would have believed you, and even agreed with you a while ago, but there is something about Nate that's...different. I know we technically only just met, but I have never felt this much compassion for someone. I closed my eyes feeling his warm breath fan out on my face. I felt his fingers touch my cheek softly, and he whispered,

"You're so beautiful. " my eyes fluttered open. I never really believed anyone when they called me pretty or anything like that. My gaze fell from his, ans I whispered,

"no im not..." I sit up and let my legs hang off of the bed. Nate came over to me, and knelt down on the floor between my legs. Even there he was still a few inches above my head. He took my face in his large hands and made me look at him.

"Jules you are beautiful, my heart skips a beat every time I look in your eyes,  and when you smile I just cant help but think you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. You are a beautiful person inside and out." I looked at him, he is so sweet I couldn't speak. I smiled at him and then my phone rang. I grab my phone from the bedside table and answer,

"hello?", it was Kat.

"Oh my gosh Jules you will never believe what Zayn just gave me!"  she said through the receiver. I smiled even though she couldn't see me, because I already knew what it was. A few weeks ago Zayn asked me to meet him at the mall. I met him there not knowing why. He needed help picking out a promise ring for Kat. I knew exactly which one she had been eyeing for weeks. It was a small ring that had a pretty little diamond on it. I acted surprised and asked,

"What?!"

"He got me a promise ring! And it was the one I wanted really badly! oh, isnt he sweet?!" I giggled.

"that is amazing Kat! I am so happy for you!" I coule just see Kat with this huge smile on her face,

"Well I have to go I am about to go to lunch with him." I smiled and we said our goodbyes. Zayn and Kat have always been "the couple" of our school everyone already knows they are going to get married. I was always a little jealous of them, because they were so perfect.  Nate smiled at me, and wrapped his arms around my waist. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Do you want to go get ice cream with me?" Nate asked. I nodded.

"Let me get dresses first."
