Nothing Left To Fear (Book 1 of 2)

"Are you single?" "Sorta"

I am terribly sorry for the SUPER later update. School started a week and a half ago and I haven't had time to write since I manage my school's football team. I really hope that this chapter makes up for the ultra late update. Tell me what you think:)

Nathan’s POV:

Thursday continued

“Let’s play hide and seek.” Chelsea said. Everybody looked at her quizzically because that’s really random to play hide and seek in a restaurant. “Are you serious?” I asked unsure if she was being serious or not. She nodded. I looked around the table and noticed that everybody else had the same expression as me. “Alright. Since we’re all done eating, why not?” “Really Nath?” Tom asked me. “Yeah, we have two hours and an empty restaurant. Let’s just enjoy this.” We all agreed to play and that Cameron would be ‘it’ first since he’s new. He had to go outside and count to sixty before he came to find us.

Once he was outside, I was the first one to leave the table. I was looking for a good hiding spot so that nobody would find me. Luckily, this Ruby Tuesday has two floors. I ran up onto the second floor and looked around to find somewhere to hide. Then my eyes landed on the perfect spot: a secret door behind some chairs. It was a nice spot because the door was the same color as the walls and the only way to spot it is if you look really closely. I ran to the door and then stepped in. I know what you’re thinking: Isn’t it small in there? Actually, it was the opposite; it looked like it was an old supply closet. Luckily, I closed the door all the way and put the chairs back in front of it.

I got comfortable in the couch that we inside the room. I don’t know why there was a couch in here but I wasn’t complaining. It was actually nice in here because there was nobody else here. Or so I thought. About a minute after I got situated, the door knob turned. Did he seriously find me already? I guess I wasn’t as good at this game as I thought. I door slowly opened to reveal, the one person I would love to be alone in a room with, Brianna. “Shut the door!” That was the only thing I could think of. Not only did I not want to be found but I wanted some alone time with her. She placed the chairs in front of the door and quietly shut it behind her. She walked towards me and sat down on the couch. I pulled her closer and she rested her head on my shoulder. We didn’t talk much because we didn’t wanna be found; plus, we were just enjoying each other’s company for the time being. After about ten minutes, I began rub her arm causing her to get goosebumps. She suddenly shivered. “Are you cold?” “No, you rubbing my arm just gives me chills.” She looked back down to hide her blush but I pull her chin back up so she could look at me. “Why do you do that?” I asked. “Do what?” There she goes again with trying to hide her blush. “Hide your blush. I think it’s cute that I make you nervous.” I had to say that with a smirk. “You don’t make me blush.” I knew she was lying but I had to prove my point. I pulled her onto my lap and then looked up at her. She had nervous written all over face and I loved it.

My instincts took over and I wrapped my arms around her waist. She then wrapped her arms around my neck and held her lips over mine. “Who’s nervous now?” I could tell she had a smirk on her face, but she was right, I was nervous but so was she. Our lips were so close that our breath mixed together. I couldn’t take it anymore; I needed her lips on mine. I quickly leaned up and captured her lips with mine. She quickly pulled away causing complete confusion to swim through my eyes. “You never answered me.” Her lips were still really close that I could feel them graze my lips. My breath got caught in the back of my throat. “Um, me.” That barely came out as a whisper but I knew she heard it. She reconnected our lips before breaking apart and saying, “Me too.” I couldn’t take the quick kisses anymore, so when she reconnected our lips, I deepened the kiss. There was so much passion in this kiss.
