|FIX ME| Nate Maloley

Chapter 1

I don’t like leaving my comfort zone, and for me that’s in my room. It’s 10am at the moment; I am still covered with my blankets, as always thinking about life. I take a look at my phone and I have one message, Nate. I smile when I see his name on the screen.

“You promised me that you will go and help me find present for Valentine’s Day, for Leigh. Are you still up for that, kitten?” it said. Oh, did I forget to say that he has a girlfriend, 3 months long relationship and that I act my ass off to prove that I am happy because he is happy.

“I am up; pick me up in 30 min?” I sent.

“I will be there, don’t eat, we’ll eat outside.” Okay. He better take me to Pancake House or I am going to kill him.

I open the door of my closet, simple clothes, may I add. I throw a pair of leggings, baggy sweatshirt and pair of all star shoes. I remember when I was obsessed with makeup and looking perfect, and I still am but around Nate, it’s different, I want to surprise him but he know real me, so there is no need for going thru hell to look beautiful.

I hear knocking on my door, so I storm downstairs to open the door, he doesn’t say anything, he just makes his way to my couch and throws himself on it.

“Good morning to you to, I am fine, someone woke me up but you know I still wanted to greet that douche. “ I teased him, sitting next to him. He looks at me and says
“I am tired and I am not for this sappy love shit, yes I like her but I don’t want to get her presents for this stupid ass holiday and it’s driving me crazy, ok?” He tensed, and he cradled his head back in the pillow. I knew that he hated this.

“Nate, common, let’s go get that done and then you can take me Pancake house and make me the happiest, because all I can think now is about pancakes and Nutella, with strawberries and I am craving it, okay?” I said, calmly but I wasn’t calm.

“Are you on your period or something, because if you are, I can’t move from your way before you kill me?” he teased and I laughed at this kid in front of me.

After 15 minutes of begging him to stand up , I finally got him to move his ass.

We are currently in the mall, trying to find a present for his girlfriend, and I am glad that I am not his girlfriend because this guy is clueless when it comes to this stuff, he isn’t creative, and he is not helping. Okay, I wouldn’t mind having him as my boyfriend even if he forgets about Valentine ’s Day but…yeah.

“Nate, she is not my girlfriend, I don’t know what she likes, please help me. “ I shoot at him while is looking into the male section trying to find sweatshirt for himself. Do you see what I am dealing with here?

“You are girl, you know that stuff. “ He said not even looking at me.

“I never had a boyfriend, so, no, I don’t. Come here.” Annoying, am I right? He looks at me, he looks so bored, boys.

“You can get her big teddy bear, I see girl mocking about wanting one, relationships goals.” And I wink knowing that he will be annoyed with me.

“ I am not going to spend money on some teddy bear so she can just take a picture of it and post it and give it to some cousin for birthday, and I am not going to spend that much money on her anyways. “

”I don’t even want to find her present Nate, for God sake, you are the one that should be excited about surprising you girlfriend and I am the one that should eat pancakes, that are your treat, so..  Please, let’s go eat and we can talk about it and come back.” I said, exiting the store. And I hear steps behind me.

“I am sorry, okay? I am just not in the mood.” He says..

“It’s fine Nate, I am hungry. Let’s go..”

We are currently in Pancake house. As always I got pancakes with strawberries and Nutella with the glass of milk, while he got pancakes with bananas and Nutella too, but he got the coffee. As I ate, I think about what it would be like to actually have someone to spend Valentine’s Day with, so I guess I will just sit alone in my room tomorrow, as always, order pizza and watch some cheesy romance movie, crying about every single detail.

“What are you thinking about?” Nate asks taking a sip of his coffee.

“Making plans for tomorrow, getting laid and stuff, you know.” I joked.

“You are really sassy today, what’s got into you?” he smirked.

“I am just in the good mood but knowing myself I will be disaster tomorrow, so it’s good that you will not be around. “ I said. “And, you should actually decide on what you want to buy Leigh, don’t be asshole.” I say eating the last bite of my pancake.

“I don’t know, I will just buy her some underwear, so she can please me tomorrow night.” He winked.

“Oh my God Nate, don’t you ever bring that up, I will never erase this image from my head.” I said, covering my eyes with my hands.  

“I know you would love me to demonstrate it to you.” He winks again. I moved hands from my head to give him a look but he started laughing and I didn’t even have time to give him a look. What’s so funny?

“What so funny? “ I asked, keeping my face straight.

“You are so clumsy, oh my God.. “ he says. “You have Nutella on the side of your mouth, move closer so I can clean it..” So I do move closer, so he can clean it with his thumbnail. Why would I even consider moving closer, I could have cleaned it myself? He brings his thumbnail  to his lips, licking the Nutella off it. 

“It does taste way better from your lips than from the jar..” He winks at me.
