My life, Her life, Their lives.

Chpt 20: Cheetah Bras and Cheap Motels. (Pov Ana)

Nate waited for me to walk back into the motel room, I closed the door behind me and looked at him with a slight smile "Twist of events huh?" I tightened the robe around my waist and laughed. "I really dont know what just happened" he started "But i did it. it was hard but i did it." He said as if he still couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth when he yelled at Taylor. It was harsh, very harsh but I couldn't blame him really. He hurt about that situation as much as she did. "You definitely did say some strong words to Taylor, Not my first choice but ...." I breathed deeply and smiled "I'm glad you did something." I said hugging him. "Yeah strong words" He smirked. I, suddenly in the middle of the embrace became very aware I was in my underwear and that this little robe covered nothing so I let go and jumped back scaring Nate. " what the. What's wrong?" He looked at me startled "I'm sorry I just , I ran out to see Taylor And I wasn't dressed. I'm I'm ah kinda in my underwear and the realization hit me kinda hard." I couldn't hide the fact I was blushing so I looked at the floor "Sorry" I smiled "Well it wouldn't be the first time i have seen a girl half dressed" he laughed "or half naked.. Depends how you look at life" he nudged me gently and laughed "Nate..." I blushed even more embarassed "This. This. is kinda new for me" I confessed and looked to him "Even Me and cam...We never..He's never.. Um" I didn't know how to explain why I was so uncomfortable. All I could do was blush and stumble on my words. "Wait wait wait wait" He interrupted " So like?..Nothing. At. All? A little you know.." He says with doing weird faces and dancing oddly "No... Nothing." I laughed "Wow. Cam ? Really dude" He laughed to himself "Never even seen me in my underwear... so.. Um..this um this is" I blushed harder and stepped away a bit.

I could feel the heat of my face. "Nah its fine" he said and backed away from me with his hands up smiling, My cheeks were burning. He picked a shirt up off the floor "Here" He tossed it to me "Wear this" I caught it, I looked at the shirt with wide eyes and dropped it on the floor as if it was poisonous. It was cams shirt. "I...I'd rather not" I looked to him apologetically, Nate took the shirt back and realized "oh... My bad" "It's um... His" I begun "uh yeah I'm sorry" he said tossing it to the floor behind him; Nate took off his shirt in one swift movement. "here uhh take mine then ? I really dont know why i did that " he smiled and handed the shirt to me. "I.. I.. can just sleep in my jeans it's ok.. I don't think..." I stared at him with wide eyes and paralyzed. "i guess ill just... Put this back on" He mumbled quickly putting his shirt back.

I laughed awkwardly and looked to the floor. I think I had seen enough. "Jeans to bed it is!" I smiled trying to lighten the mood and began to walk to the bathroom trying to find my jeans. "There was no point of me doing that huh?" he smirked "No.. No it was sweet" I smiled "Just caught me off guard." I tried to laugh but I couldn't help but still feel awkward. he smiled again, I think he was enjoying this way to much. Nate went to the bed tucking himself in and closing his eyes to sleep. I walked over to the bathroom as he hit the lights of his side of the room off. This robe was killing me, me and Taylor always struggled because of our curvy figures and this robe was barley covering anything and was squishing me "I think he's asleep" I thought to myself and slipped it off so I could breathe. I peeked my head out of the open bathroom door and looked towards the bed. His eyes were closed. I sighed relief. Nate tossed and turned in the bed. "Damn it. I'm gonna wake him up." I mumbled to myself shutting off the bathroom light leaving the room pitch black. I struggled around in the dark trying to find my clothes, I crawled around to avoid making too much noise and waking him. "Yes found something! No damn it" I said pickin up a small object "Sock... What good will that do! Shoe...." I say mumbling to myself as I kept crawling around the floor. "On the chair " he mumbled "Huh?" I said startled jumping up against the wall "What... What?" "Your clothes .. They are on the chair" he explained. I knew he was smirking, I could feel it. I squinted trying to make out his silhouette in the dark. He put one hand up pointing to the chair nearby "Seeeee chair" he said as he laughed to himself. "Can... Can you see me?" I asked crawling towards the chair "No im not looking but i can hear you swearing at a sock" He laughed turning to his side, I giggled and keep crawling.

Nate went silent he was probably trying to sleep again. "Ouch! Damn chair!" I bumped into the chair with my head. I felt around the chair and used it to up myself I grabbed my jeans began trying to jump Into them but of course that's always a struggle and I fell over onto the floor with a thud "Shit! Are you alright?" I heard Nate jump out of bed And run towards me. "Shit... Uh yeah. I'm sorry" He helped me up and held me for a second. "It's .it's.dark and jeans are a struggle to get on and um" I said trying to break the silence "Thanks for uh ..helping me" I said holding the edge of the blanket in front of me. "Why wear jeans" He laughed "Well I don't have any clothes here and I.. You... And.. Umm" I was too nervous to speak I felt chocked up and confused. "Just wear my shirt Its big enough to cover you. And besides i've known you long enough" He insisted "I...um... Are you sure?" I didn't have much of an option so I accepted.

I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks as he took his shirt off and handed it to me, I prayed and hoped in my mind that he didn't see the pink cheetah bra and underwear. "This couldn't be more embarrassing" I mumbled , Nate turned and walked away for me seconds later "Oh by the way" he stopped "Love the cheetah" He laughed as I pulled the shirt over my head immediately falling over. The shirt blinded me and I couldn't get up "Damn it Taylor had to buy me this joke gift for Christmas" I complained to myself. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die. strong arms helped me back up again "Nate... Uh..." I tried to stand up by myself I couldn't get my head though the shirt It was still stuck to my hair. Gently Nate pulled the shirt down "There thats how you wear it" He smiled and stared at me. "Could... Could you maybe not stare at me when I can barely see." I laughed and straightened up my hair "thanks by the way" I laughed. Nate placed his hand on my cheek his hand warm and gentle "Shirt looks good" He said looking me in the eyes the distance between us was so close I could hear his steady breath. A shiver went down my spine as I looked into his eyes. I quickly looked away and begun to get a blanket and a spare pillow too to make a small bed on the floor I lay my jeans down for me to lie on top of  "At least you serve a purpose now" I say to them." i thought you were sleeping on the bed" Nate asked looking to me confused my cheeks felt like they were on fire "I... I told you to sleep there" "Oh come on , you sleep on the bed ok ill sleep on the floor" He said trying to pick me up. "No no It's ok" I said stepping down "You had a rough day and you're hurt. you sleep on the bed It's the least I could do after.. after Cameron." I finished.

"Please you sleep on the bed. I can sleep on my useless jeans that way they won't be so useless" I smiled trying to make a joke. "You're a girl you need a bed, besides iv already gotten some sleep when i was at my house." He insisted "Hey no not fair! I'm a tough girl!" I said putting my hands on my hips looking up to him with the best scowl I could manage "Yeah tough girl, I can deal with the floor." He teased "besides If you're so tough, try and hit me. Give me your best shot." He laughed, he stood there waiting I just stared at him. "If you do and manage to hurt me i'll let you be" He snickered and waited "deal" I laughed and made a small fist. I started to take a swing when he grabs my hand stoping me while he swiftly picked me up so that he was holding me in his arms "Not tough" he laughed letting go of my hand "Ahh!! Nate the shirt it's lifting!" said laughing and struggling. suddenly he let go and held me by my waist. I looked into his blue eyes, god they were beautiful my eyes were just adjusted enough that I could see them glow in the darkness like two stars. I smiled at him still lost in his eyes. Suddenly the distance between us became close and he kisses me softly before i realized and broke free "....Nathan...." I said arms outstretched holding myself from him "Im..Im so sorry.." He said speechless. I've never seen him speechless. I stared at him shocked. "I.. I." He let go of me walking to the other end of the room "I.. I think we better go to sleep.. " I said walking to the other side of the bed "Look Ana im sorry.." He started "No Nate... It's. It's. Ok." I muttered "Let's just sleep" "Ill just sleep on the chair dont worry im not tired" he offered "You can have the half of the bed ...It's big enough to share" I mumbled but he Didnt take my offer so I let him sit down and I lay in the bed speechless. Minutes later he got up and walked to the bed he got in and laid next to me. but giving that I had plenty of enough space I couldn't blame him. He barley fit in the chair. "Goodnight ?" It sounds like more of a question then a Statement . I turned away from him and trace my lips. "Goodnight Nate" I inhaled deeply "Goodnight" Silence filled the room and we tried to sleep.
