Chapter 19 - Pizza Night

Abigail's POV 

After the kiss we shared last week, Nathan and I has gotten a lot closer. He came over to my place more often, and we became more open towards each other. He told his family about us dating, and every time we hang out at his place, his mom seems very happy to see me, she seems to like me being her son's girlfriend.

I am laying on my bed, looking at the ceiling, smiling to myself, thinking about how perfect my life is.

I have two loving parents who's willing to do anything for their children. I have a beautiful little sister who's now turning 15 and I feel like now I can really talk to her. I have a big brother that I would never asked for, yet I'm so grateful for, because he is such a bright light in our family. He is ridiculous, stupid, annoying, yet so caring for his family.

And because of him, I got to meet 4 other dorks that are just like him. I'm also grateful that I had the opportunity to be close to them. Imagine how many people would die to be in my place, being close to the biggest boyband on earth..

And I have the perfect boyfriend. The handsome, smart, funny, caring, gentle, respectful, and loving boyfriend. Everything I could have ever asked for.

My life is just so beautiful, it's even too beautiful if I might say..

.

My thoughts are interrupted by the knocking sound on my bedroom door.

"Come in!" I yelled, to lazy to get up. It's probably Lou or Lottie..

"Hey,.. I brought you pizza."

I sat up immediately as I hear the familiar voice.

"Nathan! What are you doing here? It's- 10 pm! And you brought pizza?!" I said in shock and excitement as I took 2 boxes of pizza off of his hands.

What a perfect boyfriend I have here..

"Tomorrow is Graduation day.. I thought you could need some of these, just to cheer you up a bit.. You have been so sad about it." He shrugged.

"Jeeze, you're right.."

Graduation day is so painful for me. I know I'm supposed to be happy cuz I graduated but that just doesn't work for me. I think it's really sad to leave everything behind. Friends, teachers, school, cafeteria, the vibes, just everything..

And he is right.

I do need some pizza.

"By the way, how'd you got in? It's frickin' late!" I gently opened the box and hummed at the goodness in front of me.

"Your brother.."

"What?! Louis?" I stopped immediately.

Louis has been here since yesterday because my parents decided that the whole family should attend my graduation tomorrow..

"Yeah.." He slid his hands down his sweatpants pockets awkwardly; not knowing what to do.

I sighed, "Nathan what are you doing? Come here you silly, sit down. Don't be a stranger." I patted the empty spot next to me.

"And, he said I could only be here to drop those "goodies"  then I should "get the hell out'ta here." He air quoted as he walked towards me to the bed.

I giggled, "ruude.."

I slid my hand under a slice of pizza and attempted to bring them to my mouth, but his hand stopped my pizza mid-air.

"Heeyy.." I said in protest.

"Since I won't be able to stay here for long, let me just.."

He put my pizza back to it's box and put them aside.

He is now hovering over me. He cups my cheeks with his hands and kissed me softly. He pushed me gently with his own weight and now I'm laying on my back. He put one of his arms beside me to support himself.

We smiled and giggled through the kiss, knowing how cheesy we're being.

As we enjoy our moment, someone suddenly busted through the door that is not fully closed and made us both awkwardly parted.

"Ehmm,.."

And there you go..

"Thought I told ya to only drop those goodies!" Louis exclaimed with high pitch.

He then opens the door fully, signaling Nathan to exit the room without literally saying a it.

"Rigghtt.." Nathan slowly nods after a quite long pause.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" He nod to me and backed away slowly.

"Yea yea yea.." Louis interrupted, rolling his eyes.

"Okay.. Good night, Abigail." He sweetly smiled.

"Night.." I half-whispered, my words caught up on my throat. Chills ran through my body by his tone and his voice.

I figured that he's been calling me Abigail every time we had our moments and I think that's just very sweet and special of him.

That side of him is what I crave for every second.

He starts walking towards the exit as Louis eyed him and I watched him walking very uncomfortably.

As I can no longer see him, Louis closed the door slowly while shaking his head with raised eyebrows.

I can feel the heat starts raising up my cheeks, as I smiled at myself.

I re-opened the pizza box and again, I hummed at the deliciousness in front of me, again. I enjoy the pizza while re-playing what happened earlier in my head..
