Jessie
576Please respect copyright.PENANAkNZiKM8mwd
We finished having dinner by the beautiful beach, it has gotten completely dark now. It has also gotten cold.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAiGb9Q3uqxi
Me and Nathan left the table and started walking by the beach, the fresh air and the sound of the waves hitting each other felt very relaxing. Nathan was staring at the distance as if waiting for a ship or something to arrive.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA0JqzRgesS0
The cold wind hit my bare arms and legs. I couldn't help but shiver, and wrap my arms around myself. I stared down at my clothes and mentally slapped myself for not thinking about brining a coat, or a jacket or something.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAdAPNwEmIo7
It's freaking January, and I'm wearing a sleeveless dress. With no jacket on, great! Just great! Way to go Jessie.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAVo69hiuc1B
My shivering and scowling was of course not unnoticed by Nathan. He stared at my clothes and frowned.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAxcwVQ9a5dH
Okay. I think I don't need a jacket. It's already hot.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAV64pDp3CoE
But of course Nathan didn't notice that I was sweating, under his gaze. He bit his lips and smiled sheepishly at me.
576Please respect copyright.PENANALBN2UdSHVt
"Wait a minute, okay?" He said and jogged to the far end of the beach before I utter a word, to where his car was parked.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAof0KIuwwt0
Now that Nathan was gone, I felt cold again. I shivered once again, and wrapped my arms around myself tighter. I could feel every single hair on my body stand out from cold.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA2cNLEvRuEu
Stupid Jessie. Stupid stupid Jessie. Why did I not wear warm clothes at least?
576Please respect copyright.PENANAVYx1YTV4Di
Why?
576Please respect copyright.PENANAdDvC4MXZkY
Nathan jogged back to where I was, holding a jacket in his hands. He handed me the jacket, smiling politely at me.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA2YWUbjyVUL
"Umm..." I mumbled stupidly. My arms still around myself. Not being able to reach out to the jacket.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAJCBSSGSjEy
Nathan's smile dropped, as he took in my appearance. And how my teeth were grinding from cold. He sighed and put his jacket around me gently, he grabbed my wrist to detangle me from my own body and put it in the right sleeve, then he grabbed my other wrist and did the same.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA8Yso6vopWg
I felt heat rush into my cheeks, and I knew I was blushing, from embarrassment. Although I wasn't sure if I was embarrassed because someone was putting clothes on me like a child. Or the person who put clothes on me was none other than Nathan!
576Please respect copyright.PENANAjdcGcemAz0
I felt myself warm up immediately, and smiled at Nathan.
576Please respect copyright.PENANACUWpEILhsz
"Thank you." I mumbled and snuffled.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA0ePLXxY2yL
"You're welcome" Nathan replied and handed me a Kleenex he just found in his pocket. I took it from his hand shyly and quietly blew my nose. Making Nathan chuckle.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA6vmv3NFKHQ
Why the hell am I so embarrassed of my own childhood friend? We have done many embarrassing things together and in front of each other.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA5ooevbMV5H
We were only six I think when Rachel was very ill and accidentally farted in me and Nathan's presence. She cried from embarrassment so me and Nathan started creating farts to make her feel better, it actually worked and we were soon laughing very hard, and well... filling the room with a nasty smell, but you know what my point is.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAa28cNRRbLa
And now I'm embarrassed of a runny nose. Seriously?!
576Please respect copyright.PENANA5aTlOF1Ols
"I think you'll get cold, you're already cold. We should probably get back home" Nathan said and slowly walked away from me to where his car was parked. I nodded despite the fact that he couldn't see me, and followed him close behind.
576Please respect copyright.PENANALH4biVRyfk
He stopped walking abruptly, making me bump right into his solid back.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAr9RQB4w2Uv
"Ouch!" I said and rubbed my forehead with my hand which was covered completely by the long sleeves of Nathan's jacket, which was too big for me.
576Please respect copyright.PENANALn6HlGTlzt
Nathan turned around and made a face, which was a little bit scary. Making me gulp.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAshvaVh6SuB
"Can you please not walk behind me? Walk right beside me" He said, making me flinch.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAL7DBrKtYb4
"Sorry" he added quickly when he saw me shiver and flinch at his high tone. "But don't follow me like a lost puppy, walk beside me please"
576Please respect copyright.PENANAAsCPygDSYy
I nodded furiously and followed him again, then I frowned and remembered what he just said so I jogged so that I was right beside him and we both walked in silence to where Nathan's Mercedes Benz was.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAM66nXglZxb
He quickly opened the door for me to get in after unlocking it, and got in too.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAigv4Fuzo7U
We were soon on our way home, I glanced at the clock and nearly gasped when I saw the time, it was 10:46 PM. I'm usually asleep at this time.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA5cxlgal6Tj
"I'm sorry, Jessie." Nathan said, staring at me for a few seconds, then he stared back at the road quickly. " I have planned to take you somewhere else too, but it's already too late. I didn't realize it would take us this much"
576Please respect copyright.PENANAv5p10VX6dH
"It's alright" I said genuinely and smiled at him. "I had fun"
576Please respect copyright.PENANAax2NlcVxx3
He stared at me from the corner of his eyes and smiled back. "And I have plans with Dave. That's why I'm taking you home early, I don't want you to get sick by the way, so make sure you have some warm soup or something"
576Please respect copyright.PENANAMiLmJ6LT8I
"Yeah I will" I mumbled. Slightly disappointed that he was taking me home because he has other plans. But isn't going to stick to his original plan which was to take me elsewhere.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA4QAS4kfbIT
It didn't take more than fifteen minutes to arrive home. And true to his words, Dave was standing right in front of the apartment. Waiting for Nathan.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA21imIo2Ip4
"Goodnight, Jessie." Nathan mumbled. I stared at him for a few seconds, and tried to force a smile.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ8cFNhSJk
"Good night" I said, and reached for the door handle, but then I frowned and remembered something. I think... Nathan doesn't know much about dating after all. Maybe I'm better than him, even though I'm inexperienced.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA18Wi95Qfls
"Nathan?" I called his name, feeling my chest tighten. And my palms sweaty.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA6ca5mUKnv2
"Yes, Jessie." He said and stared at me expectantly. I looked away from him and my eyes landed on Dave, who was waiting patiently for me to get out. He kicked a stone and pouted.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAEHSEpnJFEd
"Umm... are we...a thing now?" I asked, biting my lower lip.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAAIRa12jSxF
Nathan's eyebrows furrowed as he heard what I said, he sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Of course we are, Jessie. We had our first date, didn't we?"
576Please respect copyright.PENANAvQISDbYxsZ
"We did." I replied, my voice surprisingly strong. "But we didn't talk about anything. It was like... we were hanging out as friends"
576Please respect copyright.PENANAusae9MlvNP
I quickly put my hand over my mouth, and mentally face palmed for blurting out and saying anything which comes to my mind straight away.
576Please respect copyright.PENANArWY6oLilGW
"Sorry." I mumbled.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAJaluPHvTsx
"It's alright." Nathan said, chuckling. He looked quite amused. "One doesn't have to say everything to make their loved ones understand what they mean, Jessie."
576Please respect copyright.PENANAksIIl4nOze
Loved ones.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAIe8NXLv5mM
"I think you're smart enough to know we are a thing now" he continued, frowning a little. "As in: you're my girlfriend, and I'm your boyfriend."
576Please respect copyright.PENANAgA6w8kyNun
Oh.My.God. He's my boyfriend? And I'm his girlfriend?
576Please respect copyright.PENANAI8KFJ23WLF
I'm a girlfriend?
576Please respect copyright.PENANAqQhokEgtZi
"You are." Nathan said. Grinning.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAk9JPkbufEG
Oh lord. I didn't realize I thought out loud. Here I go again.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAQsXhYMAHgd
"Umm... well... Good night." I mumbled and quickly got out of the car, without waiting for Nathan's reply.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAmWvsNiYgYe
"Hello, Jessie." Dave said as he passed by me and got in Nathan's car.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q3fhMOU26
"Hello, Dave." I replied and ran into the building. I quickly pressed on the number of my flat in the elevator.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAnE2HhkIWWX
As soon as Rachel opened the door, I threw myself at her and nearly crashed her bones from hugging her too tight.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA1XhPEhiV7r
"Ouch.... Jessie.... Wait..... I can't"
576Please respect copyright.PENANAogQWnB2Nhp
I screamed at the top of my lungs after letting my best friend go and beamed at her.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAIxi6FbvoOG
"Calm the sugar candies down girl." Rachel said, I nodded eagerly still grinning like a crazy maniac. "Now spill!"
576Please respect copyright.PENANAtjKlS514Hx
I told her everything, from the moment Nathan appeared with all the red roses, to when we arrived at the beach and had dinner and watched the sunset together, to when I was feeling cold and Nathan gave me his own jacket. Which I was still wearing.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA0pnRTMQa6B
"Your brother is very romantic." I said and beamed at Rachel. Whose mouth had formed and o shape.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAf4j01JVXWy
"Are you sure you're talking about my brother? As in Nathaniel Evans? The cold hearted bastard?" She asked.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAcdHiDH1CxV
I nodded my head and giggled at Rachel's reaction.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAJf0ksU98vv
Nathan must be in love with me very much, that's why even Rachel doesn't believe what her brother has done for my sake. For the sake of his love.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAL2hRidEkFc
"Well... He's my brother after all." Rachel said as she flipped her hair, as if to say Nathan has got his romantic side from her.
576Please respect copyright.PENANAj6NTFSpmph
I was very tired that I couldn't sleep all night, I was tossing and turning in bed. And it didn't help when I was hearing Nathan calling my name, but when I looked around my room he was nowhere to be found.
576Please respect copyright.PENANA9cSSJ0Fqxt
I finally feel asleep, but had a restless sleep, I dreamt of Nathan kidnapping me from my own husband in church and forcing me to be his wife.
