Painful

A little present

I felt something touch my hand, but I was too tired to open my eyes. I heard a door shut and it was silent for a moment... I was slowly breathing in and out when I felt I was lifted up. I put my arms around the person's neck and my head on his chest. After a moment I was placed in the middle of something really soft. "Nate?" I whispered "sssst" someone replied. I fell in a even deeper sleep...

The sound of birds whistles woke me up and I yawned. I looked outside and it was a beautiful morning... wait! What?! Morning?! I gasped and jumped up. I was still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I can't remember I walked to my room, wait that means it wasn't a dream. I blushed and slapped myself in the face. I grabbed my phone and locked the screen, because I decided to call Nate. "Hello?" I heard a sleepy Nate say at the other side of the phone. It was kind of adorable. "Hey, did I wake you?" I asked gently. "What? No. What's going on?" he said with husky voice. "Nothing. I just wanted to thank you for yesterday. I'm so sorry you had to carry me" I said, while feeling ashamed. Nate chuckled "don't worry about it you were as easy to carry as a feather and by the way you've thanked me enough" I smiled wide. "But as I said I'm not ready, I have a little present for you. Can you come by and take your swim clothes with you so we can go for a swim. What do you think?" My heart raised and I smiled so wide that my cheeks began to hurt. "Sure, sounds fun" I replied "alright I'll send you the address. See you later" he said happy. I hung up and fell backwards on my bed. I tried to control myself, but my heart kept raising up. The reason I hate love is because you can't control your emotions.

I was jogging with my earphones in when my phone went off. I stopped and checked who it was. "Hello?" I asked "hey pumpkin. What are you doing?" I heard Jason say. I smiled a little "I'm jogging, why?" "I just wanted to know that's all. By the way you have the week off so you can do something fun". I sighed "that's not necessary, Jason" "I know it isn't and you wouldn't even bother to ask, but I insist on it. End of story " I chuckled. "Fine. If you say so, boss" I heard him sigh in relieve. "I've to go" "Alright, see you later pumpkin" "bye!" I ended the call and started running back to my house.

When I finally arrived I putted on a bikini and some clothes. I drove to the address Nate send me and parked. I knocked on the door, unsure if it was the right house. I waited impatiently when the door swung open. A shirtless Nate opened the door. I couldn't stop looking at his six pack. I heard him chuckle and blushed a little. "Hey Emma. I'm happy you came" he said smiling. He opened the door wider for me to enter. I entered the apartment and couldn't believe what I saw. It was a beautiful house with big glasses. He does have good taste in decorating too. "You have a beautiful house" I said, while I was still adoring it. "Thank you, you too" I turned around to face him. "Thanks for yesterday, it was amazing" Nate rolled his eyes amusingly. "Stop thanking me. It's not a big deal" I put my hands in the air as if I was surrendering myself "alright, alright". I smiled and he did too he walked to his garden and sat down on a couch and I followed his lead. "What was the surprise?" I asked impatiently. Nate chuckled "damn, you're so impatient" "just don't let me wait any longer!" I moaned. "Alright, Alright" he said while heading back inside.

I waited and waited. what could he possibly have for me? I taught of things like a bracelet or a card or something little. "Close your eyes!" He yelled from inside the house. I closed my eyes and waited I heard him walk towards me. When he was right in front of me he stopped. "Alright, open your eyes" I opened them. When I saw what was in front of me I was shocked, I gasped. "Aww, who is this little guy?" I asked as I looked at the little puppy. He was so cute. His eyes were staring at mine and he tilted his head questioning to the right. Nate handed him over to me. "He's yours" he said. I looked at him in disbelief "what? I can't... I cant keep him. And if I did who's going to watch over him, I have to go in few days" I said while I looked at the puppy. He was playing with my hand. "I know. He's yours, but I'm willing to look out for him till you come back" he said staring at me deadly serious. "But I may not make it back" I said sad. "You have to. You can't keep him waiting for nothing". I smiled thankfully. "Thank you" I sighed as I hugged him. For the first time I could feel his strong arms protectively around me. His shoulder lowered visibly. "So what's his name?" I asked excited "I don't know, that's up to you" he said while he shrug his shoulders. "I don't know too" I said "what would you call him?" Nate began to think "uh... how about Joey?" I started laughing "he doesn't look like a Joey" "he does, just look at him!" He said.
