Will I Ever Get It Right?

Will I Ever Get It Right? - Chapter 20

I woke the next morning with the feel of Nate’s breath silently blowing across the back of my neck. I was curled into him, and he was spooning me from behind. He really has a habit of doing this! Not that I’m complaining…

I smiled contently and stayed in his arms for a few more minutes, until I felt his arms tighten slightly around me. He pressed his lips to my neck, kissing it and mumbling “Good morning Al.”

I smiled and turned my head so that our lips brushed. I pecked him on the lips and smiled again “Mmm, good morning you. Sleep well?”

“Mmhm I think I did, you?”

I twisted my body around so I faced him and curled into him slightly. “Yeah I did.” I answered, my voice still filled with sleep. He half smiled, at me, his face amused “What? Why are you smiling hmm?”

He laughed “You, you're so funny when you’ve just woken up.”

I giggled and lightly slapped his chest. “No I am not! After all you're Mr.Bedhair.”

He half smiled and pressed our foreheads together. “But you love it.” 

I rolled my eyes. He caught me. “Maybe I do maybe I don't.” As I said that I reached up my hand and started to play with his hair. I pecked his lips and moved my head back to look at him but before I knew it he had crashed his lips back onto mine and we were kissing, both content. I smiled as he slipped his tongue into my mouth, messaging against mine. We continued like this for a couple minutes until I heard noise and stirring next door. We pulled apart and he kissed my neck, sighing and leaving his head in the crook of my neck, resting it there. “Mmm, Tay’s up. That’s our cue.” I said, amused. He groaned and flopped back onto my bed, pulling me on top of him. “Do we have to get up? Can’t we just sit here all day long doing nothing?”

I sat up, straddling him and sighed, running my hands up his toned chest. “As amazing as that sounds, we can’t. I got work at 12… and we haven’t talked about anything like you said we would so nup I’m not gonna give you what you want anyways.” I said, triumphantly.

He ran his hands up my thighs. I felt the fabric move where his hands were trailing. He sighed and tapped my thighs. “Fine I guess that makes sense.” He sat up and kissed my forehead. “We can talk after work okay? Just drop by or something.”

I half smiled and nodded. “Okay, I will. That’ll be around 3:30 I think.”

He nodded and got up off the bed, reaching out a hand for me. I took it and tangled my fingers with his without a second thought. We were about to walk out of the room for breakfast but I stopped him, tugging on his arm. “Nate, we gotta mess up where you slept, to make it look like you actually slept there.” I said, biting my lip and looking up at him. He chuckled and nodded, letting go of my hand and nodding slightly. “Go.” Was all he said before I found myself running and starting to jump on the bed for about 5 minutes or so.

Once I was done I looked at it, pleased with myself and then said “Now we go eat. That’s convincing enough.” He laughed as we walked down for breakfast.

While we had breakfast Mum and Dad just made small talk, Tay joining us halfway through and once we finished we moved back upstairs with an hour to spare before he had to go and I had to leave for work. In that time we tidied everything up, packed his stuff and then watched a couple episodes of Jersey Shore together. Before I knew it, it was time for me to say goodbye to him. I gave him a massive hug at the door and he pecked my lips before turning and walking down the road towards his house.

I went back inside and got changed for work. It’s my first shift in a while so I decided to make a splash with a cream shirt, a pair of aqua coloured denim jeans and a pair of white converse (outfit on the side--->). I brushed my hair out and skipped downstairs, grabbing my brown bag and going to get Taylor so she could drive me there.
