I don't usually write N/S stories so I am open to all criticism. It is not all N/S but it includes it so if you have any advice on how I can write these characters better, your advice is welcome. OH and Helena and Harry Potter this is for you.

SOPHIE

Tonight is the night. Tonight is the night I am going to tell Nate that I love him. Here right now in this moment. I am going to tell him life is too short to be playing this game. I won't be lucking flowers for the rest of my life asking if he loves me if he loves me not. We had been through too much together to let life past by without saying I love you at least once to your loved ones.

Sure Nate was a bastard, a drunk, a hardheaded son of a bitch and, everything in between but, he is mine. How could he not love me? I gave him my, heart. He is like a puppy chasing its tail. It works so hard to catch its tail but when it has it and finally gets what it wants it just lets go. But I am not going to let him go.

I planned the most wonderful day. I took him out to all of his favorite places. I flirted with him and for good measure I didn't play with his mind all day, even though playing with it is quite fun. I wore my sexiest dress with my sexiest accessories with this well, sexy body. Self-assured I am but, that's how I need to feel to say what I am about to say.

I broke away from the lustful, passionate kiss we came in the room with and looked him straight in the eye.

"Nathan Ford, I love you." I said as I let out a heavy load on my heart. I waited in anticipation his for answer

"Yeah, Sure" he said trying to drag me back in the kiss, but I backed away.

"Nate, I love you. Don't you have more to say than yeah, sure?"

"Sophie, I care about you."

"And" I asked needing to hear more than the words I care about you. I need him to say I love you.

"You're an exquisite woman."

He wasn't going to say it.

"So you care about me Nate, that's all?"

"Sophie please do not do this…"

"Do what? Tell you how much I love you, how I am so sick of playing games, how all I want to here is that you love me!"

"Sophie I care about you I do…"

"Stop telling me lies, just tell me the truth. Tell me you don't want to be with me and I will leave."

"I do it's just…. Sophie I can't…"

"I guess that's my answer." I said turning on my heels. I wouldn't cry in front of him, even though I was dying to inside.
