The Boss (boyxman)

Chapter 8

Chapter 8

As soon as Nathan got back to his room that he shares with his sister, he was bombed with Natalie's many questions. God, he is too tired for that. She's not worried. She was just curious about how his 'night' was since she knows he's not just hanging out last night. And to his credit, Nathan answered honestly. Just leaving the part whom he was hooking up with.

Nathan takes a quick shower before joining her sister to go having breakfast. He's so hungry. So, that offered was the best at the time. They nearly miss a table since the place is so crowded. People keep coming and barely left. After a few bites on his omelette, a voice can be heard beside him.

"Can we sit here? There's no table available anymore."

Nathan freeze up. The voice is never leaving his head ringing. He looks up slowly, only to meet the eyes that he was always drawn to. But a woman is standing with him, making Nathan frown a little.

"Of course!" Natalie shot a bright smile at them.

Nadeem sits exactly beside the boy. At the same time, the lady sits in front of him, right beside Natalie. Now, they're in the position of a double date.

"Is this your brother, Natalie?" The lady holds her hands out for Nathan. "I'm Laura."

"Nathan." He mumbles, almost couldn't say it out loud.

"You didn't say you've got a hottie as a brother, Natalie." Laura smirks.

They can't tell if she was really flirting or just teasing. And Nathan swears he could hear Nadeem clears his throats in a very audible tone. More likely just enough for Nathan alone to hear it.

"Well, what can I say..." Natalie shrugs. "He's gay. I don't see any difference in telling my office mates about it."

"Damn!" Laura eyes the boy while sipping on her tea. "Why did all hotties are gay? Thank God this hot one in front of me is not."

Nathan couldn't control his reaction when he heard that making him spills his coffee on his plate. "Fuck!" His face is turning red. He's not sure if it's because he's embarrassed or furious. "Please. Excuse me."

Nathan stands up immediately try to stop the drink from getting on his shirt too.

"Nate... Are you okay?" His sister asks with concern. Genuine concern. She knows Nathan is not one like that. She knows her brother could never embarrass himself on silly things.

"I'm fine." Nathan clears his throat. He is cursing in his head for how he sounds so stupid. "I'm going to go to the room. I'm... I'm still feeling tired, actually."

"What about your breakfast? You're hungry, right?" Natalie knows how his brother was complaining about that.

"I'm full now." Nathan smile fakely.

"Are you sure?" Natalie asks, still with the same expression. "I mean... We should go to a mall after this too."

"I'm sorry, sis." Nathan looks at her, feeling a little guilty. Shopping sounds good since this is a trip for a reward, but sitting here already makes him sick enough, and he sees this lady flirting with the man who seems to play with his emotions enough to make him want to throw up. "I can't. I'm really not feeling good."

Natalie let out a small sigh. He knows she has no one to go with.

"I want to go with you, Natalie, but Nadeem and I already have plans." Laura shows her a sad face which, for Nathan, it's annoying.

"It's fine. I'll go with the others." Natalie put a smile.

And Nathan takes the chance to walk away from the table. He does not want to deal with anything any more. He just needs to be away and get some rest. He wishes he could forget everything. He wishes he could never agree to this trip.
