The tutor - Nash fanfic

Part 27

His hands were still wrapped around me, my head nuzzled in his neck, as there was a knock on the door. It felt so wrong, yet so right and I didn't want to let go. I pushed myself slowly off of him and made my way to the door. As I brushed the tears off my face, there was another knock. I opened the door only to find Cameron there with a teddy bear.

“We are going out to eat now, you coming?” I nodded and looked at the teddy bear.

“Oh yeah, a girl wanted me to give you this.” He said as he gave the bear to me, with a huge smile on his face. I gave him a confused look as I grabbed the bear from his hands.

“Emm, why?”

“Well we were all hungry and craving Mexican food.”

“I meant, why did a girl want me to have this?”

“Maybe she is a fan.” He said after hesitating for a few seconds.

“Nobody knows me here..” His eyes widened. “None of your fans have asked who I am, and nobody has told them that I am with you guys.”

“So maybe I won it and wanted to give it to you!” Now it was my eyes that widened. I opened my mouth about to say something, but he cut me off.

“Okay, I might have bought it for you.” He said placing a hand on his neck. I looked at him before looking down at the bear. It was brown and was holding a read heart with 'Hug me' written on it.

“Why?” One thing was if he had won it and just didn't know what to do with it, but to go and buy me one, why would he do that? He shrugged.

“I guess, I figured that Nash isn't really happy about you staying here, and I felt like you might feel unwelcome. I don't know, I just wanted to show you that you really are welcome.” His face began to redden as he looked down. All I wanted to do was hug him and say thank you and that it really helped. But I knew I had to pretend like me and Nash were friends.

“Oh, I don't think Nash has got any problem with me staying here really. Do you Nash?” I yelled the last part at Nash, who was standing in the living room, making it impossible for Cameron to see him.

“No, not at all, why would you think that?” Nash said, walking closer to me, leaning his hand on my shoulder.

“I – I just thought, since you said that thing in the park tod-”

“No we were just messing around, right (Y/N)?” I looked up at Nash, impressed at how well his acting skills were. I just nodded. Nash removed his hand from my shoulder, and placed it around my waist instead. As soon as he did, I saw Cameron's eyes following his hand.

“Oh my god, I am so sorry, I didn't know you guys were a – a thing!” Cameron said, obviously embarrassed. My eyes widened again. Seemed like that was the only thing they did now a days.

“No, no, we are not a couple!” I said, removing Nash's hand, but he quickly placed it around my shoulder.

“Yet.” Nash said, looking down at me. Our eyes met, and all he did was wiggle his eyebrows.

“Well we are leaving in ten, so hurry up and get ready.” Cameron closed the door behind him, leaving me and Nash alone.

“What the hell was that?” I said pushing him off me.

“What?” He moved closer to me, smirking.

“Why did you say that?”

“Say what?” I moved backwards as he kept coming closer to me.

“That we weren't a couple, yet?!” I crashed into the wall, making it impossible for me to move further back.

“You said we were going to pretend like we were friends.” He leaned his body on me. His forehead touching mine.

“Yeah, friends, not more than that.” It came out like a whisper.

“What if I want more than that?” I put my hands on his stomach and pushed him slightly off of me.

“You don't.”

“But what if I do?” He grabbed my hands and placed them above my head. His face brushing my neck.

“I know you don't.” I didn't know what was going on and I knew I was supposed to hate this. But deep inside me, I kinda liked him being so close to me. I got a butterfly-ish feeling, and in a way, it made me feel weak.

“What if want more? What if I want to kiss your lips, hold you in my arms, intertwine out fingers and say that you're mine? What if that's what I want?”
