Last To Know

Part 26

    "Y/N, wake up. It's time to get off the plane." Nath gently woke you up.

    "We're in England?" You ask, still sleepy.

     "Yeah, we are. You slept through most of the plane ride." He laughed.

     "I did? Wow." You laugh.

     Over the intercom you hear the flight attendant announce that the plane has landed and was going over the instructions to follow off the plane. Nathan stood up and took your hand. The others were too busy goofing off to make any comments.

      Everyone finds their luggage and says their good-byes. They all give you hugs and joke around with you one last time. Jay hugs you and says that he'll call you later and see how you're doing in a new place. He was the hardest to say bye to, since he's been around you so much.

     You, Nathan, and Maggie take a rental car to his house. When you saw it, you got excited. It wasn't big, but it was perfect for a couple and their pet.

     "Like it?" He asked, looking at you and smiling.

     "Yeah!" You say.

      "Good. Now we have a lot of unpacking to do." He winked, got out of the car, and went around to the trunk. You put Maggie on her leash and got out to join Nathan. "You know I would've helped you this morning. You just had to wake me up."

      "I know. But I wanted to let you sleep. Plus, you looked so cute!" You laugh.

      "Why thank you! I try." He laughed.

       He grabbed some of his bags and you grabbed some of yours. He unlocked his door and let you go in first. You looked around the downstairs before going upstairs.

       "Right in here." Nathan says, leading you to his bedroom. He set his bags down on his bed and you did the same. "Think you're gonna like it here?" He asks.

      "Yeah! Especially since I'm here with you." You say, hugging Nathan and looking around the room. "Now let's get the other bags."

      He races you back to the car. After a couple of trips, you were done emptying the trunk. Maggie seemed to like her new house. She ran back and forth from the kitchen, to the dining room, to the living room, back to the kitchen. You laugh while watching her.

      You go back upstairs to the bedroom you share with Nathan.

      "You can put your clothes in that dresser." He said pointing to a dresser on the right side of the room.

      "Okay. Thanks." You say.

      "You're welcome. But this is your room, too."

      "I know. It's gonna take some getting used to." You laugh and he smiles.

      After about two hours, you were finally done unpacking your things. You go downstairs and sit on the couch. You decide to call Jay, since you told him you would.

     "Y/N! How do you like Nath's place?" He answered.

     "I love it. It's perfect!" You say. You hear him laugh.

     "Good."

     "How does it feel to be home?"

    "I've missed it. But now I miss America."

    "Because of Alex?" You guessed.

    "Yeah."

    "You'll see her again soon, hopefully."

    "I know. But I still miss her."

     "Yeah. Me too."

         You guys talked for a little while longer until he hung up to go to sleep since he was really tired. You said your good-byes and you went back upstairs.

        "Hey. Were you talking to Jay?" He asked.

        "Yeah. He wanted to know how I was doing." You said. 

        "Ah."

        "Have you checked on the other lads?"

        "Yeah. They're doing good. Happy to be back home."

       "That's good."

        "Yeah."

        "Hey, Nath?"

        "Yeah?"

        "Do you remember when I was in the hospital and you gave me this necklace?" You ask, pulling the necklace out of your jewelry box.

        "Yeah. What about it?"

         "When you were about to give it to me, you started to say 'Which one'. Does that have to do with this secret going on between you and the guys?" You ask, remembering that day.

      "Maybe." He says and laughs. "That's all I'm gonna say."

     "Okay." You say and sit down on the bed.

     "Tomorrow, let's go out to dinner. It will be your first time out to eat in another country."

      "Sounds good." You smile.

      He walks over and bends down to kiss you. "I don't know what I would've done if you hadn't come." He said.

      "Me neither." You say.

       "We're supposed to go to L.A. in about three weeks and we'll be there for a month. We could go to the beach."

      "That would be fun. But no throwing me in the ocean." You say and he laughs.

       "No promises." He smiles.
