His Assistant | David Dobrik x Natalie

Chapter 15

It took a couple of days for David to feel more like himself. Ilya and I did all we could to distract him from thinking about the breakup, and we've been pretty successful I must say so myself.

Last night, I hung out with Dylan again, and I had a lot of fun.

We've hung out a couple of times since David's breakup, and I feel like we've gotten pretty close. As friends.
We went and grabbed sushi and went and watched a movie last night. It was a random movie that neither of us had heard of, but it was funny enough, so I didn't mind.
Now that it's been about 2 months since David's breakup, he's definitely come back to being more like himself, which I missed.
I've also realized more about my feelings for him.
I know I've kind of had feelings for him since high school, but I never really thought anything of it, and thought it was just a stupid little crush that I'd get over with faster than it came.
But it never went away.

And now that we live in the same house, it just keeps digging me deeper and deeper into a hole, and I'm almost about to hit rock bottom.
In other words, I think I'm falling in love with him.

I know I need to talk to someone about it, but I'm not sure who.
Obviously Liza is out of the question.

Corinna I could talk to, but I know she'd accidentally tell someone, so she's also out of the question.

I guess I could talk to Kristen.

Kristen and I have hung out a couple of times and we have pretty similar personalities, so we became close right away.

I text her asking if I could come over, and she replies shortly after, saying to come anytime.

Before I leave, I head out to the living room and see David laying on the couch having a conversation with Jason.
"Hey guys," I greet as I enter the room.

"Oh hey Natalie," Jason smiles at me.
"Where are you off to?" David asks grabbing his computer.

"Going to hang out with Kristen," I say and they nod saying bye as I head out the door.
I got my car from home shipped here, so I now have a car which is so helpful, even though it's practically falling apart.

Once I get to Kristen's house, Scott answers the door.

"Hey Natalie, here for Kristen?" He asks and I nod. It felt like I was 8 again going to a friends house.

I knock on her door and hear her yell 'come in.'

"Hey what's up?" She asked, knowing right away I needed to talk to her about something.
For some reason, I feel nervous. Probably because I've never voiced it to anyone, or even said it out loud. I think David's mom kind of knows, but she practically knows everything about me so I'm not surprised.

"I need to talk to you about something," I sigh as I sit down on the bed with her crossing my legs before continuing.

"I think I may have feelings for David," I tell her, and she immediately squeals which confuses me.

"What?" I ask her.

"It's about time! I've been shipping you guys together since I met you," She admits which makes me chuckle.

"Shouldn't you be upset since you're so close to Liza?" I ask and she shakes her head.
"Liza broke up with David. Plus if I'm being honest, I think he's practically over her so I don't see the big deal," She shrugs and I feel relieved.

"I don't know what to do though," I admit.
"You need to tell him, duh," She says.

We discuss over the next few minutes whether I should tell David and when, and I just feel more nervous about doing it.
I mean, we've been best friends since forever, and I don't want to ruin it because I developed feelings.

We hang out for a little bit before I head back to the house to find David there alone.

There. Perfect time to do it.

"Hey Natalie," He says before I can get any words out, and I immediately chicken out.

I sit down next to him and sigh.
"What's up?" He asks and I so badly want to tell him that it's him, but I can't.

"Just life," I admit and he nods.

We start watching a movie, and I feel myself falling asleep, and lightly fall onto his shoulder.

"Sorry," I mutter now that I've woken up slightly and he chuckles.
"Why are you being so awkward?" He asks and I feel embarrassed.

"I'm just tired," I lie, even though I know he can see right through it.

"Bull shit. You always play with your shirt when you lie. Tell me what's going on," He says. Knowing he pays attention to the little things makes my heart swell for him even more.

"It's seriously nothing, David. Let's just watch the movie, I love this movie," I lie again, which I know he knows.

He pauses the movie and I groan. I start feeling nervous, and try to think of how I could get out of this.

"Tell me and I'll turn the movie back on," He demands.

"No," I say crossing my arms.
"Tell me," He tries again.
"Nope," I don't take my eyes off the screen.
"Natalie,"
"Nope,"
"Natalie Noel,"
"Okay fine David. Do you really want to know?" I stand up facing him, beyond frustrated.

"I do," He says standing up as well.
"I'm fucking in love with you. Are you happy now?" I say, and when he doesn't respond, I regret it.
But as I go to say something else, I feel his lips connect with mine.
