Hey, I apologize now for all the mistakes in this chapter. I think it still needs enhancement so if you see anything that can be improved or anything, please, tell me ;)
The long-legged boy doesn't wait and leaves me stunned in the parking lot. I roll my eyes before following him with a new headache to the unlocked door of my room where he enters in before I can prevent him to do. I can't help but roll my eyes again before getting in right after him. Georgia is already blushing in her bed, a book on her tight and her glance travel on the both of us.
Nate goes to lay on my bed, projecting his gaze toward the ceiling and totally ignores us as he crosses one hand under his head and put the other one on his stomach. He really starts to get on my nerves.
"I need to take a shower," I mumble.
I don't like letting Georgia with Nate, but I need this shower. "You don't have to wait for my return to leave," I grumble to Nate before I get out.
I don't spend a long time under the warm water, but it is enough to ease the pain on my sore muscles and the pill I took starts to be effective. I cuss against Nate who obliged me to bring my clothes with me, I don't want to come back half-naked in the room with him in it.
The little time I have on my own is enough to let me think about yesterday. I undeniably feel an attraction for him. I don't understand exactly where this is from, but when our bodies were to an inch to each other, the electricity I felt was intense. I hate this. I hate it because I don't understand why I'm suddently feeling this for him, and it frustrates me. Maybe it is only a reaction due to the alcohol and his provocation.
On my way back, I hear laughs coming from my room and it crushes all the hopes I had that Nate would be gone. When I get in, I find him sits on my bed, a smile on his lips, Georgia is smiling as well, her cheeks redder than ever. Their laughs slowly fade away. I realize it's the first time I hear him laughing. I wonder what they were talking about.
I stack my belongings in my chair when I hear Georgia informing me she has to go to the library. She stands up, showing the book she wants to give back before leaving me alone with Nate. I hope for him he hasn't done anything to make her run away. On the other hand, Nate doesn't seem interested in leaving.
He lies back on my bed without a word, back to ignore me. I watch him crossing his hands under his head which stretch the muscles of his arms and his tattoos at the same time while I place my towel in the chair to make it dry. His shirt lifts enough to let me see a hint of the bottom of his toned stomach. I wonder if he has more tattoos on his body. He doesn't even look at me when I dry my hair.
Nate occupies my bed so, I have no other choice than going on Georgia's. I don't feel comfortable with that and I hope she will not mind. I bring my laptop with me and I start to look for something to watch when my phone buzzes. I felt around to grab it before mindlessly reading the message I received, keeping an eye on the screen of my laptop.
"Victoria is wondering where you are," I inform Nate with a detached voice as I free my hand by putting the phone down. I don't know what he has done, nor why Victoria is looking for him, the message doesn't say it, but a part of me is curious to know.
"What have you answered?" he asks not that casually, which raises an invisible smirk on my lip. Touché.
"Nothing yet." I hear an hmm coming from him.
"Are you going to answer?" He asks after few seconds of silence.
"I don't know. You want me to not answer?" I continue to look at what I can possibly watch, but I actually don't pay a lot of attention to it. I'm way more interested in him now. I can feel his eyes on me, but I fight to not turn my head even if it's burning me to do.
"I actually would like, yes." His admissions raise a satisfying smile on the corner of my lips.
"You're enjoying it, aren't you?" he taunts me.
"I actually do," I admit, struggling more and more to conceal my smile.
"What are you hiding for?" I fight my curiosity as much as I could, but my desire to know is too strong and I know he will not reveal it by himself.
"A girl" The straightforwardness of his answer surprise as much as it amuses me.
I'm not surprised, I would have been stupid too, but his confession squeezed something in me, in a distributing and quite painful way. I hurry to dismiss the sensation, I'm good at not taking into account my feelings.
"I see. So, you didn't come here to escape the cleaning duty, but rather to escape a girl in your room. I understand better your zeal."
Nate chuckles. I watch him on the corner of my eyes and see his eyes are still on me.
"You don't defend her?"
"If she was stupid enough to end up in your bed, is her fault," I reply, looking back at the screen.
"So heartless." He states, but I can hear playfulness in his tone.
I chuckle.
"Can I watch it with you?" His question surprised me, again. Until now, he was like decided to ignore me for a reason I am unaware of and now he wants to share time with me? Or is it only the boredom and Silence that are too much for me?!
My lack of answer though makes him react. Before I can realize it, he stands up and takes my laptop from my lap before going back on my bed. I sit up, looking at him with wide open eyes, but he doesn't pay attention to me. I can't believe it. He is so obnoxious.
"You can come if you want," he says from my bed scrolling down Netflix "or are you too afraid to be in a bed with me." I can see a smirk raising the corner of his lips.
I roll my eyes. I'm not.
"We can place the laptop on the desk an both being able to see the screen," I state, but he doesn't reply.
"You could make an effort, I covered you," I groan but stand up.
He shifts to let me enough place on the bed. I lay on my side, my back touching the wall behind me while he picks a movie to watch. Once he has, he places the laptop on the bottom of the bed and lowers the screen before laying back next to me.
I stay as far from him as I can, not by modesty, but because I don't trust him, or me. It's been a while since I haven't ended up with someone, before moving here actually and I can't chase off my mind the desire I felt for him yesterday. I know the alcohol has intensifying theses feeling but still.
I smile when I see the first seconds of Will Hunting appearing. I like this movie, and I haven't watched it in a while.
After few minutes of watching, I feel Nate's arm wrapping around me and bringing me closer to him. I raise my head and see the smug grin he his giving me. I roll my eyes, quite amused though. His hand his strong around me.
Having no real chose to where to run away, I put my cheek on his shoulder and his scent immediately dives in me, and it is intoxicating. I place my hand close to my head, our bodies pressed against each other. I try to not pay too much attention to it and I focus on the movie, but after barely a couple of minutes, rock by the voices of the actors and his chest moving in a slow rhythm I drift into a deep sleep.
