Bad Boys Need Love Too

Chapter 26: Who isn't?

Nate told me to not tell anyone about our conversation or if any sort gets out, he'll publish one photo at the school website. I couldn't tell Sebastian about it, for all I know he'll march toward Nate and punch him as he said. I didn't get much sleep last night just trying to figure out what I should do to not let those pictures come out. Nina is precious to me and those photos will surely ruin her if it gets out.

Nina was still not talking to me, Sebastian said she either stays in her room or comes home late. I couldn't figure what Nate wants. He is now sitting next to Nina, talking to some other group of students with his arms on her shoulder.

"That guy is such a dick." Sebastian commenting as he also looks at Nate. "Say the word and I will punch him."

"No, Sebastian. You're not going to do anything to him." I told him.

"Why can't I? It could have already solved our problem." He whines sitting down.

"It's just not the right time." I said to myself.

"Dude, John just got into a fight with Daniel. Oooh, and John's face got the beating he deserves." Chris sat on the table telling his story. "I hate that guy."

Just by the name Daniel, I recalled Nate as an older brother. Maybe he knows what his brother is up to. I stood up from the chair, Sebastian caught my arm.

"Where are you going?" He asks.

"I remembered I forgot my notes for my next class in my locker, I'll just get it." I lied.

"Okay." He nodded.

"Dude, you act like your Abby's boyfriend." Chris mocking a punch on Sebastian's shoulder.

"Shut up!" he pushes him off the table.

"I'll get going." He nodded and I went on my way. I'm sorry Sebastian for lying, I need to do this for Nina's sake, and I know you'll understand.

****

I was waiting by the coffee shop where Nina and I saw Nate's brother usually hang out to talk to his maybe girlfriend. I was anxiously sitting by the table for a good hour and he still hasn't come yet. Sebastian was blowing up my phone, asking me where I was. I had to lie to him again that I head home early to pick up Mikaela from daycare.

The bell chimes, indicating that someone entered the shop, and, in my surprise, it was Dan and Nate walking towards a seat just 2 tables away from me. I can see Nate's smirking in my direction like he knew I'd be here. I grab my things and quickly left the shop.

Just when I was outside Nate caught my wrist. I immediately yank his hold on me. He smiles.

"I told you, you can't say anything about it to anyone. You just made a wrong move Abby." He tries to touch my face but I back away.

"What are you talking about?" I said trying to act like I didn't know anything.

"Don't play dumb beautiful. Nina already told me that you once stalk my brother and when I saw you hop on a bus to go here; I already knew what you were about to do." He smirks doesn't leave his face. "You're smart, I give you that but not quite enough."

"I don't know what you are saying and If you don't want to believe me, I don't care." I said, still not wanting his words to affect me.

"Okay, I'll let this one slip because I love you that much." He leans to my side. "But next time, I will not be nice. Is it clear?" He smiles again and lastly winks at me before entering the café again. Just when I saw him disappear inside, I let out a sigh.

I should think about other things to get to him.

***

Sebastian went to our house; he didn't ask me about what happened earlier but he just told me to text him earlier so he wouldn't have to worry about me.

"Have you already read all of these?" He says as he scans over the spine of my displayed books.

"I did." I nodded. "Those that are by my table are the ones that I still haven't read." I pointed at the pile of books on my table.

"That many?" His eyes widen just looking at the number of my unread books.

"I still have eBooks downloaded on my phone and laptop, so that isn't all of it." I told him.

"Does your eyes even hurt from reading so many books." He sat down next to me on my bed.

"I use reading glasses." Opening my bedside drawer to take the glasses and put them on. "I think it helps when my eyes become teary from too much reading."

"Didn't know you look hot even with glasses on." He pecks my cheek.

"So, you're a dork and I'm a nerd. We are really meant to be." I giggle.

"We certainly are." He pulls me down, so we'd lay on the bed. He was about to kiss me when someone knocks on the door. He rushes to sit on the chair by my desk, I laugh from his action.

"Come in." I shouted. Dad opens the door with hands covering his eyes. "Dad, what are you doing?" I ask him.

"Are you two decent?" He asks.

"Seriously dad, we were just talking." I told him. Sometimes I didn't know what to think about him, he lectures you about being safe and all, but he thinks we'll do it while they are in the house.

"Thank God." He let out a sigh of relief, Sebastian smiling as he looks at me. "Is Chinese okay for dinner?"

"Yeah, it's fine dad." I agreed.

"Dumplings are one of my favorites." Sebastian giving dad a thumbs up.

"It's settled then, I'll just call when it arrives." He says, when he was about to close the door, I spoke.

"What about we have movie night? We can eat takeout's while watching." I suggested. I don't want dad to think of us doing anything more than talking when he leaves. "Right Sebastian?" I turn to him sitting.

"Sure." He nodded.

"Okay." Dad said.

"I know there's an Iron Man DVD downstairs." I smile at Sebastian teasingly. "It's one of Sebastian's favorite movie. He's actually in love with Tony Stark."

"Like who isn't?" Sebastian with his hands on his hips and we all laugh at his reaction. It was nice to let your worries behind even just for tonight.
