Nate’s POV
Once Jared and Brett got out of the car, I just kept my gaze on Sam, watching her every move. She was so beautif—I mean ugly!
I caught her dancing though, and I knew that she was a dancer. I knew it . . . and you know what that means?
“Can I just leave my bag in here, so I don’t have to carry it around with me all day?” she asked me sweetly. Well, she was always sweet, but still, ya know.
I nodded slowly, and she looked at me weirdly before continuing.
“Um, are you gonna give me a ride to work after school?”she asked me curiously.
Again, I nodded slowly and carefully, not wanting to shake the thought of her dancing from my head.
Suddenly, she asked, “What?!”
I smirked to myself and then replied, “I caught you dancing. I caught you dancing well. I caught you dancing, Sam. I believe that you owe me one favor, anything I want, redeemable anytime I want.”
I saw her eyes grow wider with every single thing I said. It was kinda funny actually.
Then she let out a, “Dammit,” and got out of the car.
I was way ahead of her.
I jumped out and raced over to her side, and softly pinned her small, sexy body against my own.
“Okay, fine. What do you want? You do remember anything but my virginity, right?” she said looking straight in my eyes.
I sighed, but still smirked, “Sadly, yes, I remember. It was actually very good that you said that though.”
“So? What do you want?” she asked, as if regretting the deal. I mean, I would regret it too.
I was laughing inside at her urgentness. “Ah-ah-ah, don’t be so demanding. I don’t wanna waste my favor, or use it right away, I wanna save for a rainy day, or a lonely day,” I said smirking suggestively.
She rolled her eyes and I felt her try and wriggle her way from inbetween me and the car, so I just put my hand up and prevented it. I leaned down close to her and asked, “Where are you going in a hurry?”
I felt her tense and smiled to myself and then whispered as seductively as I could, “Did you miss this? Me, being this close to you?”
I felt her shiver against me and it drove me crazy. I put my hands on her waist drawer her nearer. I felt her shiver again and I bent down towards her neck, breathing and getting closer to putting my lips upon her flesh.
My fingers barely slipped under her shirt and I felt her gasp slightly as they touched her soft, silky skin. Touching her so softly, only made me want to rub her whole body.
My breathing matched her own. It was short and quick and anticipating breath.
My lips barely grazed her ear and I felt her hands press against my quickly rising chest. She pushed me away and then moaned, “Nate.”
Oh my GOD!! HER MOAN!!
It drove me crazy. The way she moaned, and then the fact that she moaned my name! I wanted her, badly. I tensed and that’s when I felt the tightness of my jeans and I knew that she could feel it too. Crap.
I knew the only way to get myself away from her was to do it quickly. I jerked away from her abruptly. I knew I had this pained look on my face, but I couldn’t hide it. I didn’t even try.
I could only stare at her a moment, I wanted so badly to go further. I wanted to kiss her, not like before where she didn’t even kiss me back in my kitchen. I wanted to feel her soft lips upon my own.
She stared back at me with the same expression upon her beautiful face. Wait, what?! No! Bad Nate, we do not think those thoughts! Never! Don’t ever let those thoughts ever cross your mind again!
Guilt flashed across her face and she looked like she was struggling with herself.
Then, suddenly, she covered her face with her hands and ran away. From me. Because I was so close to her.
That hurt.
Sam’s POV
Once school ended, I met Nate by his car and saw Jared and Brett already in the back seat. Well, Brett was in the back seat, Jared stole my front seat. Bastard. Still I climbed in and began talking with Brett.
I heard a song very faintly come on the radio, and I swear to god I screeched.
“OH MY GOD!!! TURN IT UP, TURN IT UP, TURN IT UP!!!”
Nate glanced back at me weirdly along with the guys, but nonetheless turned it up. I haven’t heard Luv Addict by Family Force Five in such a long long time. I stared jumping in my seat as I sang along to the second half of the song, since it was almost over.
(Hey!) Can't kick the habit
(Yeah!) I got to have it
(Yeah!) I'm what they call a love addict, love addict
(Hey!) Can't live without it
(Yeah!) Wanna shout about it
(Hey!) I'm a symptomatic love addict, love addict
I must, I must confess,
My heart is pounding in my chest
'Cause this love's the best
I'm just a love addict
Coming down with something outrageous
Look out now cause it's so contagious
This feeling's got me weightless
All whammed up that I hit the ceiling
Can't clear my throat (Huh, huh!)
Now I gotta have some more
hold up wait a minute put a little LOVE in it
Hold up, wait a minute,
Put a little love in it.
(Hey!) Can't kick the habit
(Yeah!) I got to have it
(Yeah!) I'm what they call a love addict, love addict
(Hey!) Can't live without it
(Yeah!) Wanna shout about it
(Hey!) I'm a symptomatic love addict, love addict
(Hey!) Can't kick the habit
(Yeah!) I got to have it
(Yeah!) I'm what they call a love addict, love addict
(Hey!) Can't live without it
(Yeah!) Wanna shout about it
(Hey!) I'm a symptomatic love addict, love addict
I was disappointed when the song ended, but on the bright side, Jared and Brett had already been dropped off.
Then, on the dimmer side, I was starving.
As we were headed back into town, Nate and I, I pleaded, “Nate! Can we please, please, PLEASE, go to like In and Out Burger, or McDonalds or something?! I starving!!”
Nate grinned and then replied, “Sure. I’m kinda starving myself.”
I smiled and then pu tmy fists into the air, “Whoo!”
Wow, I guess the awkwardness of earlier today wore off.
Well, it better have. You had all day.
Who invited you into my head?
Well, um besides the fact that I’m your CONSCIOUS!! Nobody.
Yea, that’s right, so leave.
You know what I just noticed? You are sweet, and nice and caring towards everyone but ME! You’re conscious!
Okay, fine, I’m sorry. Will you please, with a cherry ontop, leave me alone right now?
Better. And yes, I will.
Wow, I should try that more often.
We pulled up to Mc Donalds, since In and Out Burger was packed and would’ve made me late to my second day on the job.
Nate pulled up alongside the intercom and I heard the staticy voice on the other end say, “Welcome to McDonalds, are you ready to order?”
Nate leaned out slightly and replied, “Yes. I’ll have a medium #5 with a Dr.Pepper.”
“Okay, anything else?” I heard the guy on the other side say.
He looked towards me and asked, “What do you want?”
I rolled my eyes and groaned, “Let me order.”
Nate looked at me questionably for a moment before I unclipped my seatbelt and then leaned over Nate’s lap and stuck my head out the window. My stomach, I felt, was touching Nate’s um body part. I couldn’t exactly tell if it was his knee or his croch.
“Okay. I’ll have a meduim Big Mac meal, with a Dr. Pepper and make the fries large, please. And then I’ll have a 10 piece chicken McNugget, not the meal. Didja get all that?”
First there was silence, and then I heard the voice say, “Yes, your total will be $18.89.”
I smiled at the intercom and was about to lean back in when I heard his voice again, “And let me tell you, you have a nice rack chick.”
I gapped and I was so disgusted that I flipped off the intercom, even though that’s probably not even where the camera was.
I leaned back in, halfway and saw Nate staring at my ass.
“Nate!” I groaned.
His eyes shot to mine and then his lips curved into a smile, “Yes?”
I wriggled off him and then pointed forward, “Keep your eyes on the road and not on my ass!”
He chuckled and then pulled forward to the pay window. I saw the lanky looking guy with red hair and almost died of shock. “Matt?!”
He chuckled, “Hey Sam.”
“Matt! Thank God it was you!I was ready to cuss you out! Don’t do that!” I scolded.
Matt looked at me past Nate and then apologized. “But, uh, that’ll be $18.89.”
Nate gave Matt a weird look but pulled out his wallet. Crap! I was gonna pay for this.
I quickly dug out a twenty dollar bill and handed it to Nate, “Here you go.”
Nate glanced at it and then shook his head with a chuckle, “Now what kinda guy would I be if I let you pay for this?”
I was shocked for a moment, “Uh, well, you’d be Nate.”
He flashed me a hurt glance but then quickly turned it into a smirk, “Sorry, Sam, but I guess you don’t know me as well as you think you do.”
“Likewise,” I said as he gave Matt a twenty and got $1.11 back.
We picked up our food and then he drove to Big O Tires while I munched on my large fries. Seriously, their fries are the greatest fries on this planet! In and Out Burger is next, but McDonalds wins hands down.
Nate pulled in the back and we grabbed the bags of food and sat in the back.
I went for a swivel chair infront of a desk, but as soon as I was about to sit down, a saw a black thing move swiftly past me.
I stopped abruptly and saw Nate sitting in the chair.
“Nate!” I whined.
He smirked and then patted his lap.
I shook my head and looked around the room for another chair. Nothing. Damn.
I groaned and then sat atop the desk with my feet propped up in the desk also. I dug in the bag and opened my Nuggets and put a sweet&sour packet next to it and then dug into my Big Mac. Yumm.
Nate stared at me like I was a pig.
Eh, so what. I munched on my buger and fries.
Then when I was almost done with my burger, Nate stole one of my nuggets.
“Hey!” I scolded. “What was that?”
He looked at me wierdly, “Um, I’m pretty sure that I just stole one of your nuggets. Just like . . . this!” And he snatched another nugget.
“Nate!” I tried to scold between my laughter. It was mean, but still funny.
I finished my burger and licked my fingers and took a big gulp of my Dr. Pepper.
I went for my nugget and dipped it in the sauce and just before it reached my lips, I heard a voice from somewhere inside the garage shout, “Is that Chicken McNuggets I smell?”
I groaned and then quickly stuffed the nugget in my mouth. I glanced back down at the box of nuggets and saw that there were seven left.
Okay fine. He can have one. ONE!!
Jordan waltz through the door and his eyes immediately flew to the nugget box. His eyes sparkled and then he stuttered out, “C-C-Can I have one of those? P-Please?”
I laughed and then tossed one to him. He caught it midair and then inhaled that nugget.
“Mmmm, good!! Ba-Da-Ba-Ba-Ba I’m Lovin’ It!” Jordan said smiling.
I burst into laughter as Jordan just simply walked out and left us there.
Once we finished everything, I threw the stuff away and told Nate to hold while I go change.
“Aww, couldn’t I come with?” Nate asked.
I grimaced and then shook my head, “Nope!”
I pranced back into the bathroom and then slipped on my uniform on and left my hair down.
I walked back into the garage and found Nate talking with Brian.
It didn’t look like a good conversation because Nate was shaking and his fists were clenched my his side. I thought he was going to hit Brian so I ran over, hoping to stop it.
“Hey!” I called out running over to them. “What’s going on?”
Nate had a pissed expression on his face and Brian look concerned. “Brian! What did you do to Nate? You made him all pissed! He looks like he wants to hit you!”
Brian smirked slightly and then replied, “Not me, that creep from yesterday that tried to take you home.”
My mouth fell open in embarrassment.
“Oh.”
“Yeah, I was telling him about this Lamborghini Murcielago and then the story kinda slipped out. Sorry.”
I nodded slowly and then turned around to face Nate.
“Why didn’t you tell me that happened?!” he roared.
“I-what-w-w-well . . . you didn’t ask . . .” I stumbled over my words a bit.
“So?! Sam! What’s the real reason you didn’t tell me!” he asked grabbing my shoulders slightly. His stupid touch sent stupid sparks flowing through my stupid body.
Stupid sparks.
“Well, sorry! I didn’t that you would care! I didn’t think that you would wanna hear about me bitch about my day at work and was almost molested by a customer!” I shot back.
Nate was clenching his fists tighter and he was kinda shaking. It made wonder what the hell was wrong with him.
“Why would you think I wouldn’t care?!”
“Well, for starters, you left me after Kale almost raped me and then you bring Kelly into my house after you know how much she is a bitch to me!”
He looked really pissed now.
“Nate, what is wrong with you? Are you okay?” I asked in a softer voice now. I put hand on his bicep and squeezed slightly.
This seemed to amazingly calm him down, but he didn’t stop staring at me.
“Kelly’s not a bitch to you. She apologized for calling you fat and she said that she wouldn’t do it again.”
I sighed deeply. There was no getting this across to him! “I’m sorry Nate. I will tell you next time something like that happens at work okay?”
He nodded and then as a customer pulled in; a tall man in a business suit stepped out of Honda Civic and looked me up and down.
I could somehow feel Nate tense up next to me. I shot a worried glance at him and then he looked down and me with a hard expression.
“What is the matter with you? Why do you keep acting like this?” I asked getting kinda worried that there was something seriously wrong with him.
He glanced down at me and then shook his head with a smirk, “You wouldn't believe me if I told you.”
I growled at him before turning to help the man.
How dare he use my own line against me!
It turns out, Nate stayed the whole time I was working. He got along really well with Jordan, something about liking the same club and knowing the bouncer there. Whatever.
I looked at the clock and it said 7:03, it was time to leave, and Nate said that he would park in his driveway, but walk me inside.
I started to panic. What if Jim was home? I didn’t want him to find out about Jim, he would go ballistic. What if Jim tried to hurt Nate? Not likely succeeding, but what if he tried?
Plus, what would Nate think of me? A little weak girl, not able to stand up for herself against her drunken father? Yes, that’s probably spot on.
I had to quickly say something before he started to go to my house.
We stepped out of the car and as soon as he walked around to my side, I started to tell him not to walk me, but I was interrupted by Jared and Brett poking their heads out the door and saying very loudly, “We have a present for Sam! Come on Sam!”
They ushered us inside Nate’s house and as soon as I stepped inside, I saw a small woven basket with a red bow on it, sitting on the table in the living room.
I walked closer, my heart racing, and when I looked inside, I crumbled.
Inside, was a small white, Siberian husky curled up in a ball, sleeping. I couldn’t help a smile that crept up to my lips.
“Aww! Oh my God!” I whispered but loudly. “He’s so cute! Is he mine?”
Jared looked at me seriously and said, “She. No, it’s for Nate. We said we have a present for you because it’s really for Nate.”
I stared at him a moment before I got it and shot him a glare, “You a meanie!”
Nate, who I failed to notice was by my side the whole time, asked me, “What are you gonna call her?”
“I dunno, maybe Miki. Or Yuki. What do you guys think?” I asked.
“I like Miki,” replied Brett.
“I like Miki too,” said Jared after a moment.
I turned to Nate who still had a thoughtful look on his face, “I like Yuki, cause it means ‘snow’ in Japanese.”
My eyes widened at the fact that he actually knew that and then I smiled lovingly down at the small pup and said softly, “Yuki it is then.”
