Troubled Life

Chapter 7: Problem's Problem

*Nathan's POV*

I carried Mariah all the way up to my room still wrapped around me.

"Now get off me" I chuckled.

"No" she said with her face buried in my neck. I sighed then I sat down.

"Come on don't be a baby I was only gone for three weeks" she lifted her head.

"No you were gone for six years and three weeks so shut up" she put her head down again.

"When will you get off of me then?"

"When you hug me back and I feel satisfied" I sighed and hugged her back. After what felt like forever she let go.

"Okay I'm satisfied"

"Okay you satisfied but now I comfortable"

"My titties are comfortable aren't they?" She chuckled.

"What were you guys up to anyway?"

"We were playing Truth or dare but Jonah didn't want to do the dare so we had to strip." She explained "But if Tyrell walks in here he's gonna think something's up. He's already skeptical as it is and you guys are close, I don't want to be the reason why that stops"

"Bu--" she cut me off.

"No buts we are not having this conversation about 'you came first before him' again, because although that is true he doesn't care, he's going to act as a boyfriend." I groaned and moved. "I'm sorry" she apologized getting off of me completely and I waved her off before flopping down on the bed and she layed on the side of me on her stomach. "So tell me about the trip. Was it Bora Bora, Bali or The Bahamas?"

"Bali" I paused. "It was nice and relaxing, beautiful resorts, beautiful beaches, but it was hot tho" she chuckled. "What's so funny?" I looked at her.

"Those dimples" I smiled. "Stop they're so cute I can never get enough of them"

"Wait so I'm not cute only my dimples, nice to know"

"No! No. That's not what I meant. I mean..." I started to laugh and she hit me with a pillow. "I hate you" she pouted.

"No you don't" I was still laughing.

"Yes I do" she sat down folded her arms over her chest then huffed.

"No you don't" she didn't answer this time so I went to extreme measures. I tickled her. She started laughing hard and she toppled over.

"Stop! Stop! Nate! Stop!" She laughed then I stopped. She folded her arms and huffed again.

"You know you love me" I smiled down at her and she sat up.

"Not you your dimples" she hugged me and I hugged her back.

"Yeah keep lying to yourself" we laughed.

"Ty!" she sounded surprised. I turned around to see him leaning on the door frame. "How long were you standing there?" She asked nervously. Why the hell does she sound so scared?!

"From, he was tickling you" Ty answered.

"Hey bro" I spoke.

"Hey, thought you weren't coming til next week" he said.

"Yeah we only said that because we wanted to surprise you guys"

"Oh okay" I nodded slowly. That was the most awkward talk we had ever had.

"Mariah can I talk to you?" He asked but I stopped her from going.

"Can I talk to her for minute first?" He nodded and left closing the door. "What's up with you?" I asked her as soon as the door clicked indicating it was shut.
