Saviour - Nathan Sykes

Am I dreaming?

*1 month later*

It's been around a month since I last saw the boys but, Tom's asked me to go down to London whilst I have time off from uni. At first, dad wouldn't let me go but Tom was able to persuade him as usual. I've spoke to Nathan a lot in this month on the phone and Skype when my parents weren't in; we've become really close. Currently, I'm the car with mum and dad on the way to London. I'm really excited to see the boys again, especially Nathan. He doesn't actually know I'm going down there yet so hopefully, he'll be happy to see me.

"You better behave Adira," dad told me as we drove into the city of London. "I will dad, don't worry." I reassured him, not that a 20 year old woman should need to but whatever. "If you're lying to me, I swear I'll-" he started before I cut him off. "You'll what dad? Beat me? Go ahead, you're going to do it no matter what happens because you can't do anything else! What did I ever do to you? Please enlighten me; I have no idea what goes through that head of yours but whatever it is need sorted! You are quite frankly the most disgusting human being I have ever met in my entire life." I told him, raising my voice slightly and instantly regretting it. I don't even know where all the courage came from. He pulled the car over and turned around in his seat before grabbing my hand, pulling me closer and smacking my across the face. The windows are tinted in the car so no one can see in which is lucky for him. "Don't you ever speak to me like that again." He spat at me, emphasizing every word. I quietly sat back in my seat and held back the tears I was wanting to release. He started the car and carried on the drive to Tom's where all the boys were.

When we got there, I text Tom telling him we were outside before I was dragged out of the car. Dad got my suitcase out the back of the car then drove off instantly. Great, don't even say bye to me or hello to your son. "Adi!" I heard the familiar voice call before I was lifted off the ground and brought into someone's chest. "Tommy," I sighed contently, happy to be away from the torture. "Where's mum and dad?" He asked confused. "Oh, urm, they had stuff they needed to do at work. They said to tell you they'll speak to you soon and they love you," I lied, he smiled sadly but took my suitcase and led me into the house. "The boys still don't know you're coming so I'll take you upstairs to your room then you can come down," he told me quietly. I smiled then nodded and followed him upstairs. He opened the door to one of the most beautiful rooms I have ever seen. It had a large white piano in one corner which I'm really excited about because I haven't played for years. Against another wall there was a table with loads of paper and a few pencils and pens for my fashion designing. "Tom, this is amazing. Thank you!" I said and hugged him. "You're welcome kiddo," he replied then kissed my head. "Now, put your clothes away then come surprise the boys," he told me excitedly. I laughed and nodded before starting to put all my stuff away.

After about half an hour, I had put all of my clothes into the wardrobe and shoved my suitcase under my bed. I changed out of my comfortable clothes and put on some dark skinny jeans with a crop top, a blazer and frilly socks. I added a bit of make up and took my hair down then straightened it before walking downstairs. I took a deep breath then walked into the living room where everyone turned to look at me. "Ads!" Nathan shouted excitedly. "Nath!" I replied, mocking him as he picked me up and spun me round. He wrapped his arms around my waist as mine went around his neck, in a friendly way, then he hugged me tightly. "Struggling to breathe here," I mumbled into his shoulder causing him to chuckle and let go. "Sorry," he smiled sheepishly making me laugh. "It's fine Sykes," I replied pushing his arm slightly. He moved out of the way so I could say hi to the rest of the boys who seemed to be just as excited.

"How long are you here for?" Nathan asked as we all sat down to watch a film. "I have a couple of months before I need to go back to uni so it all depends on how long Tom can put up with me in his house." I laughed. He joined in before replying, "you can always come and stay at mine if he gets sick of you," he told me. "I'll make sure to do that even if he doesn't," I answered, making him smirk. I shivered and wrapped my arms around myself as I suddenly got really cold. "Need warmth?" Nathan asked, I nodded as he pulled me closer and wrapped his arms around whilst my head rested on his shoulder. I could feel Tom watching us but he has no reason to be worried, we're just friends.

"I have a question for you Parker's," Jay blurted out. "Shoot mate," Tom told him; Jay looked between us both for several minutes, confusing everyone. "How is the younger one of you so much more attractive? Shoudln't you look a little bit similar," he said making us all laugh. "She inherited the looks from mum's side, as you can tell." Tom replied, still laughing at the question. "And that means?" Jay asked. "Our mum used to be a model along with many other members of our family from that side where as dad's side, they weren't as lucky with the looks," I explained making Jay laugh. "Although, I do think Tom is much better than dad or anyone from his side," I added truthfully. "Have you ever been offered modelling contracts?" Max asked me, seeming interested. "I get asked all the time but, I never feel the need to accept any offers. I don't think I'm confident enough to put myself out there; I prefer designing for the models instead of actually being one." I answered making them smile.

After we watched the film, they boys said they wanted to go for a drink but I was too tired so stayed at home. Nathan decided he would stay with me so I didn't spend my first night here by myself which Tom agreed to. "Ads, can I talk to you?" Nathan asked me nervously. I nodded, smiling at him to ease his nerves. "Urm, I was wondering if you'd like to, ur, maybe go on a d-date with me tomorrow?" He asked looking away. "Is this real?" I questioned making him chuckle. "It's definitely real babe," he answered; my heart skipped when he called me 'babe'. I swear I'm dreaming. "I-I'd love to but Tom wouldn't-" I started before he cut me off. "Stop worrying about Tom, he can't stop us from doing this. Look Ads, I really like you and I'm not willing to let the most beautiful, kind, caring, inspirational, talented, gorgeous woman I've ever met slip through my fingers." He told me looking into my eyes and moving closer to me slightly. "Nath," I sighed, looking back at him. "Just answer my question. Yes or no?" He asked wrapping his arms around me. "Yes," I answered making him smile and move even closer. He placed his forehead on mine and looked down at my lips. In one swift movement, he placed his lips over mine. I slid my hands up his chest and around his neck as I brought him closer to me.

A minute or so later, we pulled away for breath and looked at each other. I smiled slightly causing him to before he pecked my lips again. "That was amazing," he said breathlessly making me giggle but nod in agreement. "I'll pick you up tomorrow at 6," he whispered in my ear before pecking my lips and quickly letting go of me as we heard the front door. I smiled and sat on the sofa as he walked into the kitchen.

I definitely feel like I'm dreaming right now.
