"That's a dangerous game you're playing" Nathan says as he tries to focus on the game he's playing. I've put on one of his shirts knowing that he likes when I wear his shirts. 

"Come on" I say as I sit next to him on the couch. I leave no space between us causing our thighs to touch. "Ailee's at a sleepover. We're all alone" I whisper in his ear as I my grab onto his arm. 

Nathan moves to the side creating a little space between us. "Stop Lark" he says calmly while playing his video game. 

I sit there with my hands on my lap in disappointment. Nathan and I rarely get to spend time together due to school, dad and Kayla trying to spend time together as a family, and Nathan taking care of Ailee. 

"Fuck it" is all Nathan says before his lips crash into mine. 

The kiss is full of lust...need. In a swift motion Nathan brings me onto his lap and pulls me closers towards him. He kisses my neck leaving a tingling sensation after each one. 

"I love you" I say against his lips. 

As if I added fuel to the fire Nathan deepens the kiss even more. His hands make their way under my shirt. His touch alone makes me lose any sense of control. As he begins to lift up my shirt my phone begins to vibrate like crazy. Message after message causes my phone screen to light up. Soon Nathan's phone begins to vibrate as well and we both pull apart from each other. 

I get off of his lap and go to check my phone only to see message after message Vivian. Apparently there is a huge party going on and she says that I HAVE to go. 

"If only you knew what you do to me" Nathan says as he rubs his face with his hands. 

I go over to him and sit on his lap again. "Well why don't you show me" 

I lean forward but my phone vibrates again ruining the moment. 

"What's up?" Nathan asks as he tries to hold his laughter in. 

I get off of his lap and sit next to him on the couch instead. 

"Vivian wants me to go to a party but I would rather stay here with you and-" 

"Let's go to the party" Nathan says interrupting me. He gets up from the couch and begins to head towards the stairs. 

"You're joking right?" I say in disbelief at his desire to go to the party. "What about- But- Ugh!" I yell in frustration. By now Nathan is already in his room getting ready while I'm still on the couch. "Fine." I say to myself before I get up from the couch and head upstairs to get ready. 

After having that huge fight with Dean, I've been spending more time at Nathan's house which is why my clothes are here as well. Nathan doesn't even notice me as I pick out my clothes which only makes the reveal more exciting. If he wants to tease me then I'll do the same. After all, a game is no fun when only one person is playing. 

Nathan waits for me in the car. I quickly put on a sweater and run our and into his car. We went to go pick up Vivi on the way to the party and before we knew it, we were outside of a huge house. I'm talking almost mason huge. 

"Who's house is this?" I ask Vivi who's busy texting on her phone. 

"Huh? Oh it's Tyler's house." The way she said was so casual yet it left me with wide eyes. 

"Wow..." I whisper to myself as I look out of the car window. 

"Let's go!" Vivian yells as we opens the car door. 

Once inside the house looks even bigger. There are people everywhere drinking. There is a huge beer pong game set up and people walking around,  dancing, talking, and a lot of yelling. I take off my sweater and hang it up on one of the hangers. 

I wore a pink pencil high waisted short skirt with a sheer long sleeve top matched with a plain black bra and black heels. 

"Woah!" Vivian says as she looks at my outfit with wide eyes and a shocked expression. Her reaction makes me a little nervous of how everyone else will react or whether or not this even looks good on me. The attention I'm attracting is more than I was expecting. I didn't think I would stand out. 

Nathan turns around at Vivian's reaction and his eyes go wide in shock. He takes long strides in my direction and stands between me and everyone else. 

"What do you think you're doing?" he asks as he looks around to see if anyone was staring. 

"I'm going to go party but I can't since you won't let me move"

Nathan scoffs at my explanation. "I didn't even know you owned clothes like that." Nathan looks at me up and down making me feel way more nervous than I thought was possible. 

After a few seconds I cover up my nervousness. I can't lose this game. He won't win. 

"There's a lot you don't know about me. Now if you can just move" I say as I push past him. "I wanna go have fun" 

I walk past Nathan but he grabs my arm to stop from taking another step. 

"If someone says something I won't hold back." His voice is firm and I know he's not bluffing. Nathan won't just threaten someone this time, but my pride gets in the way. I break free from his hold and walk towards Vivian. 

Throughout the whole party I can feel Nathan's eyes on me. After a while I go up to him and hand him a drink. 

"Hey" I say softly as we both lean our backs against the kitchen counter. 

"Hey." We both stand there in silence as everyone laughs and moves around us. "Fine. You win. Don't get me wrong. You look amazing in that outfit, but I can't say I enjoy all of the stares you're getting from every guy that walks by you." 

"I don't care about them." I wrap my arms around his neck. My eyes are fixated on his lips. "They don't matter to me" is all I say before I close the gap between us and kiss him. 

Nathan wraps his arms around my waist and lifts me up onto the counter. Normally I would be embarrassed to do anything like this in public but right now I don't care. Quite frankly I don't think anyone else seems to care because no one pays attention to us except for two girls that kept following Nathan hoping to grab his attention. 

"I knew I'd find you here." A guy's voice can be hear behind Nathan. We stop and I look up to see a guy with blonde hair wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. He seems unfamiliar which means he must know-

"Good to see you again Nathan."
