Get out ! I yelled, causing Tyler and Landon to jump, before turning and speed walking out.
I was surprised Nathan was still here. I also remembered Dustin was there too, but I knew the kid wasn’t afraid of me.
Hey, you ok- Nathan started to ask, before I glared at him.
Go away. I said stubbornly. Just let me cook in peace.
Nathan started towards me and I backed away, holding my hands up. Nathan just leave, I’m not in the mood, just- I was cut off as he grabbed my waist and pushed me into the pantry, shutting the door behind him.
I gulped.
What did I do ? Nathan asked softly, taking another step closer until our bodies were touching.
What ? I asked, clueless.
You just snapped back there, I’m sorry if I said anything. He explained.
I sighed and couldn’t help but smile at him. It wasn’t you. I corrected.
Then what ? He asked.
I don’t know. I said quietly, shrugging. I guess stress, I just had to let out everything and I didn’t mean to take it all out on you. I looked down shyly.
It’s okay, I think you just need a break. Nathan gently slid his hands down my arms.
There’s no time for a break. I have to make Dustin and everyone else eggnog, and then I have to talk to Dustin about what happened and then I have to tell everyone my plan- I started rushing out but was suddenly cut off by a pleasant surprise.
My eyes fluttered closed as I felt Nathan’s soft lips meet mine and all the pent up tension melted away from my body, leaving me embracing the beauty of the present.
I pulled away as Nathan looked down at me, his hands loosely grasping my wrists.
Now, I’ll tell you what. Why don’t you go in my room and get some sleep, I’ll take care of Dustin. When you wake up, you could make your amazing eggnog and then tell us all about your genius plan. Nathan explained, smiling down at me.
My heart melted at how caring he was. And I’d never expect any less from him.
I smiled up at him in admiration. Nathan, I’m fine. I spoke.
Skylar, you need some rest. You’ve been doing nothing but trying to fix everything for the past few days. I think you deserve a break. Nathan pulled me into his chest, kissing the crown of my head.
I smiled into his shirt. He was right, like always. I could really spend some time relaxing. I suddenly got an idea.
Fine. But I have one condition. I said, tilting my head up to look at him.
And what’s that ? He asked with a smirk, tightening his grip on me.
You watch a movie with me. I grinned at him.
He chuckled, his chest vibrating. Whatever you say princess. He smiled down at me, before pulling away and taking my hand, leading us back into the now empty kitchen.
We passed by the living room to see Tyler and Dustin in an intense match of Battlefield, and the rest of the boys watching the screen like it was their all time favorite movie. I was glad to see Dustin with a big smile on his face.
Come on. If we sneak past them now, they won’t follow us. Nathan whispered to me, tugging my hand.
I laughed at that and let him drag me to his room.
After snuggling up in the blankets with Nathan and his arms wrapped around me with my head on his chest, we hit the play button.
What movie did you pick ? I asked as the screen lit up.
You’ll see. Nathan smirked down at me, before returning his gaze back to his laptop which was set in front of us.
I let out a small laugh as the intro to White Chicks came on.
We watched the first fifteen minutes of the movie in silence, letting out a few laughs here and there. I was glad Nathan wasn’t one of those people. The ones that always talked during a film. I hated those kind of people. No offense, Landon…
After fifteen minutes, the door to the bedroom creaked open, before Dustin slowly walked in. I smiled down at the kid.
What are you guys watching ? He asked as he walked up to the bed and tried to peer at the screen.
A movie. Nathan answered simply. I don’t think it’d be appropriate to say the name to him out loud.
Oh. He said. Can I watch it too ? He asked quietly.
Can he ? I asked, turning to Nathan. I wasn’t sure on the rating.
If you make sure to cover his eyes at the bad parts. Nathan answered with a smile.
I nodded.
Come on then ! I exclaimed to Dustin, who excitedly crawled up and took a seat beside me. We watched the movie in silence then.
Thankfully, Dustin wasn’t one of those people either.
Hey what are you guys watching ? Landon said as he entered the room, Tyler and Max behind him.
A movie. Nathan replied with the same tone, not bothering to explain any further.
Oh. They all spoke.
Deja vu right there.
Except they didn’t ask, no. They all just jumped onto the bed, Landon sitting next to Dustin, Tyler laying on the pillows behind, and Max deciding to leap onto our legs.
I shot Nathan an annoyed look and he just chuckled at my expression.
Unfortunately this time, Landon was one of those people.
Hey Nathan. I don’t like the way you’re touching my sister. Tyler piped up.
Seriously ? He only had his arms around me, it’s not like he was feeling me up.
I turned around to shoot him a glare and opened my mouth, but Nathan beat me to it.
And I didn’t like the way you treated my younger brother, so I guess this makes it square. Nathan retorted, before turning back around and continuing to watch the movie.
That caused Tyler to grow silent.
I smirked up at my boyfriend.
So the next ten minutes were spent on everyone trying to concentrate on what they were saying in the film and Landon constantly asking questions and saying things he thought were funny. The only person that laughed was Max, and that was when Landon had called one of the main characters hot.
Giving up on trying to watch the film, I started playing with the hem of Nathan’s shirt.
I suddenly gasped as I felt Nathan’s hand slide up my thigh under the blankets.
You know how distracting that is when you do that ? Nathan whispered quietly into my ear.
I held back a shudder.
