The Boy Next Door (On Hold)

Chapter 5

*Not Edited* Will edit sometime this week!

I woke up to the smell of bacon. I jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen. Nathan and Nicholai were there cooking breakfast. I saw Nathan cooking eggs while Nicholai fried the bacon.
"Hey boys" I said resting my hand on Nathan shoulder. Being around them and Noah brings a familiar feeling but at the same time I just can't quite catch were the familiar memories are from. It's like I've known them for a while, but I haven't. It scares me that Me being with them feels so comfortable and familiar.
"Hey Nat! You don't mind if I call you Nat right? I mean if you do I guess I can stop calling you that." Nathan said all rushed, towards the last statement he started scratching the back of his neck.
"Do you want eggs and bacon?" Nicholai asked.
"Sure"
"There is a party today, since winter break ends today and school starts tomorrow. Do you um maybe want to go?" Nathan said.
"Sure"
"Ok before the party, do you want to go to the mall to get some new clothes?" Nathan asked.
"Alright I'll get dressed after breakfast"
"Ok cool"
I grabbed a plate and filled it with eggs and bacon. I sat in the bar stool and immediately started eating. I heard Nicholai asking Nathan to talk. Then they both left

(Nathan P.O.V)

Nicholai led me up the stairs towards Noah's room. He shook Noah awake and told him to leave Cleo for a second and come talk to us. All three of us went to Nicholai's room.
"What happened Nico?" Noah asked.
"Do you guys recognize Natasha?" He asked us. Noah and I looked at each other and back at Nico before shaking our heads.
"That's what I thought" he muttered to himself.
"I do feel oddly comfortable and being around her feels familiar. Who is she?" I said.
"Same with me, Being with her is comfortable" Noah said.
"You guys need to protect her and take care of her. You guys are comfortable with her because..." Natasha's voice cut Nicholai off.
"Nathan I'm done eating!" She screamed, probably not realizing we were on the same floor.
"Don't mention anything to her. We will continue talking some other time" Nicholai said before kicking us out of his room."

(Natasha's P.O.V.)

I changed into the same clothes I came with and grabbed the credit card my mom had once given me.
"Hey are you ready?" Nathan asked me while walking to my room.
"Yeah let's go" he turned around and I followed him downstairs. We got inside his car and began the drive towards the mall.
"Can I ask you a personal question?" I asked
"You can ask but it doesn't mean I'll answer."
"Where is your dad?" I saw him visibly stiffen and his knuckles turn white and he gripped to the steering wheel harder.
"Never mind, forget I asked." He gave a slight nod and we didn't talk for the rest of the ride. I am so stupid how can I have asked such a stupid question. His dad might be dead and I'm just here asking about his dead dad.

We parked in front of a mall and quickly got out. Since I didn't know my way around, Nathan pretty much dragged me to every store he classified as 'girly'. I told him about my love for skirts and he took me to this cool store that had a ton of skirts. Let's just say I was in wonderland. Four hours after arriving I already had seven skirts, 5 graphic tees, 3 plain shirts, and 3 blouses.
"Are you hungry?" Nathan asked.
"Yeah" I answered. He took me to the food place and we ordered at subway. After finishing our food, we continued shopping for a while. Two hours later, I had 5 shorts, 11 skirts, 7 graphic tees, 2 jeans, 4 plain shirts, 3 blouses, and 3 crop tops. Nathan was carrying half my bags while I carried the other half.

"Do you want to watch a movie?"
"Ok" I said smiling. I may have a tiny crush on Nathan. Which is really weird because I'm not used to developing crushes after only knowing the person for a day. Strangely, Nathan gives off a warm comforting feeling. We dropped off the bags at the car and proceeded to the theater. Nathan and I argued in who would pay for my ticket, He won by the way. We got two tickets for Horrible Bosses.

We had lifted the arm comforter in between the seats and I was pressed up against him. A little after the movie started, Nathan slung his arm over my shoulders. I was in Heaven.

As always, thank you for reading.
