I could feel the same passion and emotion reverberating off of his own body and lips, and felt closer to him than ever before.
I wanted to tell him the three words now that I knew it was true. Yet I couldn’t find my tongue, maybe because it was lost exploring Nathan’s mouth, or because I feared ruining what we already had by throwing him off-guard. Adoration and love were two separate emotions, and I wasn’t ready to risk what I had in front of me with three shocking words. So I remained present in the moment and continued to embrace every intricate touch, taste, and emotion I was experiencing for the man who had flipped my entire life. Those three big words were now permanent in my mind and weren’t going to flutter away, and I knew there was no rush in me getting them out to him.
All of a sudden, we heard a door from down the staircase open and broke our sweet embrace.
I guess there kind of was a rush in me getting out those words to him, seeing as both him and I were inevitably still at risk under the circumstances around us. I would have to find the right moment soon, because I didn’t want to waste a minute either not giving him my honest emotion. Maybe it wouldn’t be reciprocated, but that didn’t matter. Only to my ego maybe, but the love I had for him was simply present and there for him to take or leave.
So getting up off the floor with him in a rush, Nathan unlocked the door and we made our way back to his apartment before whoever was coming up the stairs could catch us.
As we walked past the main entrance, Nathan grabbed my hand in his and pulled me towards the doors. I looked up at him in confusion but he simply dragged me out the doors stealthily, exposing us both to the cold winter air without warning.
I bit back my shivers and simply followed him as he made his way around the building and led us to the back of it.
He stopped by the corner of the apartment building and placed his hands on my waist, pulling me closer and leaving a breath of air between us. I looked up into his burning gaze and smiled.
Merry Christmas beautiful. Nathan spoke softly, before taking a few steps back and turning towards a thick green bush to crouch by it.
I watched as he pulled something out from under the bush, then stood back up and walked towards me, the items behind his back as he gave me an adorable sweet smile.
The first present was a bit intense, hopefully this is more mediocre. Nathan lightly laughed, before pulling out a box of chocolates and a beautiful bouquet of red and white roses and holding them out to me.
My heart swelled as I took in the amazing man in front of me, and realized just how much he meant to me.
Instead of taking the chocolates and roses, I ran up to him and snaked my arms around his torso, holding him tightly to me.
Sorry if the chocolates might be a bit frozen, I had to hide them out here so Max wouldn’t eat them. Nathan spoke.
It’s perfect. I beamed, pulling back slightly to look up at him with an uncontrollably large smile. Thank you.
You’re perfect. Nathan said, his eyes glinting as he rested his arms around my waist.
Nathan, I-
I was rudely interrupted by an incoming ball of snow, just centimeters away from hitting my head, and let out a small scream.
We both snapped our heads up to see Max and Landon on the balcony above, looking down at us with large idiotic grins.
What the fu- Nathan started to protest but was cut off by another snowball, and this time it hit him square in the face.
My jaw dropped in shock at the perfect aim, before I uncontrollably started laughing. I mean, it was quite a sight seeing your boyfriend’s furious face covered in snow. He looked like an adorably pissed off snowman.
You ! Stay right the fuck there and don’t you move ! Nathan’s voice boomed through the cold winter air.
I looked up to see Max’s goofy grin now replaced with a pure look of terror. Even Landon had ran back inside.
I started laughing harder once Nathan feigned breaking into a sprint, causing Max to be gone in a flash.
Once the two idiots from above were finally gone and we were secluded and alone once again, Nathan gently collected me in his arms.
I’m glad you find that funny. Nathan gave me an amused smile, resting his hands on my hips once he had brushed off the majority of the snow.
You looked like an angry snowman. I told him, still chuckling as I remembered his face.
And do you know what this angry snowman does to rotten princesses ? Nathan spoke in a threatening tone, causing me to stop laughing immediately.
Before I could even open my mouth to respond, Nathan pushed me backwards without warning, tackling me into the soft bed of snow behind us.
I squealed in surprise, the chocolates and flowers landing safely above us as Nathan gripped onto me and started rolling us around erratically.
I started giggling uncontrollably, not having the heart to get upset. It felt like a grand time rolling around in the snow with him, and he seemed to be enjoying it as well as we both laughed freely and loudly like idiots.
I suddenly sobered up as a thought occurred to me, so I reached up and put a hand over Nathan’s mouth. The chipmunk ! He’ll hear us. I whispered in panic.
Don’t worry babe, no one can say shit to this big strong snowman. Nathan spoke in all seriousness.
I simply looked at him, before grabbing a handful of snow and attempting to stuff it in his mouth.
He moved his head out of the way last second. You dare mess with the snowman ? Nathan shot me a scolding look, causing me to shrink back into the cold snow in fear.
Stop ! I yelled, before he could even begin to start tickling me. Seriously though, we should go back in before the chipmunk sees this. Then our entire plan would be ruined. I gave him a warning look.
The chipmunk and his squad have already left for the rest of the day. Nathan explained.
Oh. I replied, before an evil smirk started to form on my lips, then without warning, I grabbed a fresh handful of snow and shoved it in his mouth, this time successfully.
He started sputtering it out, moving off of me now and giving me the perfect escape.
I quickly stood up, grabbed the chocolates and flowers, before starting to sprint back towards the building, laughing wickedly.
Face the consequences of the angry snowman ! Nathan’s voice boomed behind me, causing me to laugh harder from fear and excitement.
Just as I reached the doors and stepped in, Nathan came up from behind and pulled me into his arms all of a sudden, lifting me with no effort and throwing me over his shoulder.
No ! Put me down ! I protested, hitting his back and trying to break loose.
He simply continued walking down the hall with no effort. You just wait princess. Was all he said.
Knowing he wouldn’t put me down willingly, I started to come up with a plan.
I smirked evilly to myself, before grabbing his pants with my free hand and pushing them down.
