Like I'm Right Beside You (BEING EDITED SLOWLY)

Chapter 13

NATHAN'S POV

Our lips touched. At first neither one of us began to really kiss. It took awhile before she kissed me back.

As I was kissing her it felt right. Even though we hardly knew each other something about her made me want her.

I cupped my hands around her cheeks and began to kiss her more. Maybe she liked that I kissed her.

She kissed me as if she really meant it. Her lips were soft and at that moment I knew.

I knew I felt something. Maybe she did feel something for me too.

Her hands went on my chest and she pushed me away. "I'm-I'm sorry I didn't mean to.."  she panicked.

"No no I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..done that.." I said quickly turning off the tv before she saw.

Ana got up and rushed to the kitchen.

I followed after her, "If you want me to leave then I should."

She said softly,"I think that's best for both of us."

"Right..ok then I'll uh see you at school," I said before making things even worse. 

"Yes you will. You can just let yourself out.." she explained. 

"Bye," I waved and left.

As I headed back home, I replayed the kiss. I touched my lips and still felt her kiss.

Now more than ever I didn't want her to know the real me. I was afraid. I knew that at any moment I would be discovered.

This new look wasn't really working for me. I felt like I hadn't changed at all. I was being paranoid as I passed people.

I got home and took off my new look. It didn't feel like me.

When I entered Ana's house I knew my look was too much. She was probably being modest when she said she liked it.

I didn't want to change my look. All I wanted was for her to know who I was. But how would I tell her?

Especially now more than ever I wanted to be with her.

I decided to text her to break the tension.

Me: I hope we can forget about what happened..

Ana 💓: already forgotten 👍

Did she really mean that? Or was she covering it up?

If she was covering it up maybe she also had a past. Maybe she had a broken heart and I was the one who needed to fix it.

Her kiss felt vulnerable and passionate when she kissed me back. I knew I was lying to myself when I thought she wanted to me.

Ana could been trying to forget another just as I was trying to live a normal life.

BRIAN'S POV

"How is the man of the hour?" Nick and the rest of the guys returned.

I gave them a thumbs up, "I'm better."
