My Only Love

Chapter 27

Nate woke up with a splitting headache as he tried to get out of bed as he slumped into the floor. Events of the past night flashed through his mind arriving home almost 3am getting drunk himself and walking away from the greatest temptation in his life in the form Sheila Whitman who was every guy's dream. But he knew himself he was still the straight laced guy who believed in doing what was proper. He was not the type to use Sheila just to satisfy his libido.

His focus now was on Kate. How much he missed her and how he looked forward to their Sunday's together. The only time left he could spend with her. No matter the attractive girl's that came his way it was always Kate he wanted to go back to. He was crazy he knew. He still refused to see the reality of things that Kate had someone else now but he still didn't want to admit defeat. The plan was working and this time he hoped it would bring Kate back to him.

It was almost 10am as he hurriedly showered trying to ignore the throbbing in his head. It would take some time before he would learn to adjust to drinking binges again but it was an escape for him away from the grind and pressures of his work and studies. It felt like a released to him somehow. Also from thoughts of Kate.

Nate was excited as he always was when he would see Kate. He could not understand himself as he dressed casually in a baby blue round neck t-shirt that framed his built and emphasized his muscled arms and fitted faded jeans together with his light weight navy blue jacket completed his attire. It was a sunny day and he just felt exceptionally light and happy.

He had also come bringing little gifts for Kate. The Swiss chocolate hazelnut chocolates she loved and the little Belgian ones that were made to order. Nate knew they weren't much not the lavish gifts Ryan gave her but he knew Kate appreciated his thoughtfulness. He was even going to pick up the carrot cake he ordered for Kate's mom. These were the little things that made him happy as he quickly fixed his damp hair seeing how he looked wanting to look good for Kate.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Kate was excited as she French braided her hair applying a slight tinge of gloss on her lips knowing Nate would be arriving any minute now. She was a brightly sunny day and it just felt good to be in a shorty shorts with a yellow sleeveless that complimented her hair. Some part of her missed Nate. It was only Sunday's she saw him now and it seemed to short even for her. Missing his regular visits from school where they would talk about everything under the sun.

The doorbell rang as she checked herself seeing her face flushed, her green eyes bright and expectant. She knew it would be Nate. There he was as good looking as ever with his hair slightly damp his ocean blue eyes appreciatively taking in the sight of her as he grinned boyishly.

You look like a little girl with that French braid on. He grinned as he playfully brush at her bangs.

She smiled then and made a face. Only you would say that Nate.

My little Katie he mused looking at her with deep love in his eyes. His eyes penetrating through hers making her blush at his intense gaze.

They felt lazy as they sat by the porch steps seeming quiet for a few moments but very aware of each other.

For Nate he just felt happiness seeing her. In her French braid with the sun shining on her blond hair there was always an innocence to Kate. One Nate never saw in other girls which made her always special to him. He guessed Kate would always be like a little girl to him. Being with her was always refreshing making him always happy.

Kate was looking at Nate always feeling aware of how leanly muscled he was.She missed seeing him noting the dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep.Events of the past night flashing through her mind seeing Natelocked in the arms of that beautiful girl.When she had texted him she had observed how late he had arrived home. Could he had spent the night with that flirty girl? Jealousy overcoming her.
