First fanfic so please be nice! Pairing: S/D B/C J/N.
Chapter 1 - Love Story
We were both young, when I first saw you, I closed my eyes & the flashback starts, I'm standing there, On a balcony of summer air.
Jenny lay on the huge double bed in the gorgeous, high-ceilinged room. She stayed quiet in the hope that her pursuer wouldn't hear her. She held her breath as she saw him enter the room. He glanced around
before screaming "Found you!" in a typical 6-year-old fashion. Jenny grabbed him and pulled him onto his mother and fathers bed. They hid under the covers and made a small tent. Jenny snuck out and grabbed
some ice-cream from the fridge. They sat in the 'tent' until about 11 when he fell asleep.
"Oh Morgan," sighed Jenny as she ruffled his golden brown hair.
She picked him up and brought him into his own bedroom. She pulled back his hand-stitched bed-sheets and slid him into the bed. She kissed his cheek gently.
"Night Morgan," Jenny whispered before heading out the door and downstairs to watch television.
She jumped slightly when the front door opened. She turned around and saw the Archibald's oldest son watching her intently with his piercing blue eyes. He sat down on the armchair silently and continued to watch
her.
"Nathaniel," smiled Jenny in a greeting.
"Nice to see you're still baby-sitting for us after the last time," smiled Nate brightly as he ran a hand through his golden brown hair. Jenny noted that it was the same color as his smaller brothers.
"Well," stage-whispered Jenny, she knew Morgan was awake and listening. "I blamed it all on Morgan."
"Thats not fair Jen!" shouted Morgan as he rushed downstairs.
"Hey Morgan!" gasped Nate, pretending to act surprised. "Why aren't you in bed?"
Morgan leapt onto Nate's lap.
"I heard you come in." said Morgan as he buried his head in Nate's chest.
Nate stood up and slipped one muscular arm under Morgan's torso and the other under his knee and carried him back up the stairs.
"Night Jen!" called Morgan from Nate's arms.
"Night Morgan!" Jenny called back happily.
oOo
"Oh you didn't!"
Jenny lay, head on Nate's chest, asleep when Nate's parents returned. They were slightly drunk and stumbled up the stairs to bed. Nate smiled after them and as his mother began to laugh loudly, he 'shush'ed them.
He turned his attention back to the television. He began to flick through the channels as Jenny woke with a start.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed. "I fell asleep!"
Nate smiled and tried to reassure her.
"My parents are home, and don't worry, they were too drunk to notice you were asleep." smiled Nate. "Let me drive you home."
They headed out the door together and Jenny slipped into the passenger seat of the car.
"When did your parents arrive home?" asked Jenny softly.
"Just 5 minutes before you woke up. Mum couldn't even walk upstairs!" Nate smiled affectionately.
Jenny could see Nate really cared for his parents and Morgan. She was really beginning to enjoy the car ride when Nate pulled up outside her house and it was raining.
"Oh shit!" exclaimed Jenny and she reached down to take off her heels.
"Don't bother with that," smiled Nate as he got out of the car. "Here."
He opened Jenny's door and slipped his muscular arms around her. He lifted her effortlessly and carried her to her front door. He placed her down gently and she turned to face him.
"Thanks," she whispered softly.
They both stood on the rain drenched step, staring into each others eyes. Then suddenly, Nate put his hand on Jenny's cheek and pressed his lips to hers. Jenny savored the moment and wrapped her arms around his
neck. Their lips parted for one moment and Jenny groaned "Nate" before she kissed him again. Then Nate, gentlemanly as ever, pulled away and smiled gently at Jenny. He turned and headed for his car while Jenny
stood, soaked to the skin, on the step. She went inside where Dan was still up watching television.
"What happened to you?" he asked, amused.
"I just kissed Nate Archibald." said Jenny, absentmindedly and headed for her room.
And that was the first night Jenny Humphrey dreamt of Nate Archibald.
