Friends And More Than Friends

Twenty Eight

I awoke to Natalie going into my bathroom. So I got out of bed and put some warmer pants on. It had gotten cooler over night.

I went back under the covers and cuddled with the sheets until she came out wrapped in a towel.

"Mother called to see if we were awake, so we better get up."

"Awe okay. . ." I say then she began to turn to go back to her own room. "Wait." I got out of my bed and ran up to her.

I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and just hugged her. She put her head against my chest and I felt her skin still very warm. "I love you." I whispered against her.

She use one arm to hold me and her other grasping her towel, "and I love you, Bubba."

I pushed my head back abruptly, "what time is it?"

"Past nine." We stood in the door way.

"Fine, let gets ready then," I let her go, "I'll take you out for breakfast, alright." I kissed her forehead.

"Nice, alright." She says before she leaves my room and closes the door between us. I stare at the door for a second before turning back to my room.

I take a quick shower then get ready. After that I pack up the rest of my stuff because we are probably leaving today.

I checked my phone for a bit. Still having notifications rolling in from our promposal. Multiple people on multiple social media outlets. I'm thankful to have my notifications sound off.

I put it up and walk in the main door to her room from the hallway, "you ready?"

"Yeah."

"Okay we'll just leave our bags here I'll get them after breakfast."

"Okay let's go." She walked out following me after she closed the door. We go down to the kitchen and find her family and other guest in the livingroom.

"Goodmorning, you two." A guy from the party last night says when we walk in.

"Morning uncle Ian, and everyone else. We're going out to the cafe for breakfast." Natalie replys to them.

"When will you guys be back?" Her mom asks.

"Right after," Natalie says while checking the time on her phone.

"Okay well text me when your on your way back." She says and we stand by the door.

"Hey, J." Derek says sitting back in his chair.

"What." I say grabbing the door handle.

"My room's upstairs too. And nothing's quite sound proof anymore, up there." He says with a smile.

Natalie gave him a smile, "thanks hope I torchured you."

"Okay, let's go." I say and Nat opens the door for us to leave. I'm use to our friends knowing we fuck but I don't really know about Nat's brother.

Natalie drives, while I put my phone on the aux, to play my playlists. Since Christmas music is still all over the radio, in january.

Later that day after breakfast and returning to her parents house to get our bags, we had to go to Natalie's appointment that she won't tell me about.

She drove there and made me wait in the car so I didn't know which floor she'd be going to.

She came back after the appointment with a small envelope. That I also couldn't be told about. I was kinda salty.

We went home. And by home I mean Natalie's house. I consider her house my house.

I follow her inside. She takes our bags into our room then comes out, on her phone.
