I climbed in quickly and slid up to the passenger seat, rolling down the window and pulling myself up to sit on the open window, placing my arm on the roof of the car with the gun pointed right at the girl.
The adrenaline rush combined with the Mission Impossible soundtrack playing in my head really brought out this bad-assery I never knew I had.
I watched and guarded Nathan as he slowly climbed in next, then lowered myself back into the car.
Step on it ! I yelled as I craned my neck to see that they had all made a run to their guns.
Nathan wasted no time and floored it, the car whizzing through the soft snow.
Wait ! I yelled, causing him to slow down the slightest bit and turn to me. We forgot Dustin and Max. I reminded him.
He quickly groaned, before turning the car around and going a different route to the tree area, avoiding where my near death experience had just taken place.
What if they’re waiting for us there ? I asked in panic now.
They wouldn’t appear in a public place. Too many witnesses. He reassured me.
We pulled up into the parking lot and found a parking space near the front where the booth was.
Max and Dustin were probably still picking a tree, considering how long the line up had been before we left.
Nathan turned the engine off and silence filled the car. The only sound was my shallow breathing.
Did I really just do all that ?
Hey. Nathan said, causing me to turn towards him. Come here. He said, grabbing my waist and pulling me onto his lap before I could protest.
Are you alright ? He asked, his eyes filled with concern.
Once my breathing had finally returned to normal, I nodded.
You did good. He smiled at me, placing his hands on my thighs, the action heating up my legs and cheeks slightly.
I’m not exactly proud of holding someone at gunpoint. I looked down at his hands on me.
It was self defense princess. He said softly, his lips brushing my neck as he spoke.
I couldn’t help but shudder.
Before I could form a sentence, a loud tap on the window startled us.
I turned to find a disappointed Max shaking his head at us, next to Dustin who’s eyes were shielded by Max’s hand.
I chuckled and started to get up from Nathan’s lap, but he pulled me back into him suddenly.
I’d rather you stay here for the rest of the ride. His lips brushed my neck.
And get us a ticket ? I asked, rolling my eyes.
It would be worth it. Nathan shrugged, his hands moving up and down my thighs now.
My breathing hitched.
He went from being a jerk, to being a sexy bad-ass, to being an intense flirt.
I didn’t understand.
Max tapped the window again, only this time harder and I gave him a look, pulling Nathan’s hands off me.
Nathan groaned and finally let me climb to the passenger seat, before unlocking the car.
We leave you for one hour and come back to see you five seconds away from impregnating her. Max scoffed, picking up Dustin and buckling him into his car seat.
Oh, if only he knew that I had just handled a gun and pissed off a dangerous chick with guns and bodyguards…
Did you guys pick a tree ? Nathan asked, choosing to ignore Max.
Yeah, it’s at the back. He explained.
Nathan nodded.
I could use some help. He added, rolling his eyes.
Nathan just grunted before opening the door and walking to the back of the car.
What were you both doing ? Dustin asked from behind me.
I turned to look at him. What ? I asked.
Max made me cover my eyes, he said you two were doing something bad. Dustin explained.
I laughed nervously. Oh, I was hurting him. I lied.
His eyes widened. Is he okay ? He asked, concern in his eyes.
Oh no, don’t worry, I didn’t hurt him physically. I just hurt his ego. I covered up.
Before he could further question me, the two brothers came back inside and Nathan started the car.
How’s your ego ? Dustin asked Nathan, causing me to burst out laughing.
Nathan shot me a glare, before turning to face his younger brother. It’s really hurting. He said with an adorably sad expression, causing me to stare at him curiously.
But you know what would make it better ? Nathan asked, glancing at me with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
What ? Dustin asked instantly, so much concern shining in his innocent little eyes.
If Skylar just told me that I’m the most amazing person she’s ever met. He answered, not dropping his sad expression.
I scoffed as Dustin turned to me with wide eyes. LS. He started, causing my heart to melt at the nickname. Will you please say that ? He asked politely.
What ? No ! He’s lying ! I huffed.
He’s hurting. Dustin said with a puppy dog face. Please ? He pleaded me.
I tried to resist it, I really did, but I ended up giving in. Fine. I muttered.
Nathan is the most amazing person I have ever met. I muttered, glaring out the window.
I saw Nathan shoot me a wide grin out of the corner of my eye.
Oh he was so going to regret that… So for the rest of the ride, I was silently plotting my next move, which was going to be brilliant.
