He'd made it through the plane ride and through the day but he was almost positive that if she had it her way he wouldn't make it through the night. Mid hallway she turned around and her deep hazel eyes shown an icy cold glare. It sent chills up his spine, being in trouble with her wasn't something he'd planned on during their trip yet it was already something he'd gotten into a few times with regards to the way he was acting. The nine hour flight wasn't all that bad. They'd taken off at four in the morning only to land in Kiev during their eight o'clock hour. During that time he'd only gotten himself into trouble once with her. That time being when Kevin, the kid in front of them had struck up a conversation with her and he'd 'accidently' allowed his hand to slip to her thigh in a very possessive manor. He didn't like the looks of the guy, in turn he wasn't about to allow her to flirt. At least she hadn't protested until they'd gotten off of the plane. Even that hadn't been half as bad as he expected her to flip out now. Though he understood why he wished she'd just suck up her pride for five minutes, he knew that was more than wishful thinking on his part.

"Nate when I said you could come we agreed we were on this trip as friends. Friends and nothing more, you don't know how to be anything more. This is my trip and your trip, nowhere in that does it count our trip. The our thing is done, we're done, we're friends that's it. That's where it ends. I swear to god Nate, if you take out one more dime to pay for something of mine you're going to be completely on your own with this trip."

He listened to her fly off the handle and his coy smirk stayed on his face. He wasn't going to apologize for paying for dinner or for her room and board in the hostel. It wasn't even a big deal. All together it had been fifteen Euros. She was over reacting and getting worked up over nothing and he knew it would blow over in the morning. He just let her talk and get herself worked up over nothing , it wasn't like it was that big of a deal anyway.

The big deal at hand was the hostel they were staying in. paint chipping from the walls, ceilings falling and crumbling in places, the strange smell that emanated from almost every corner. Blair would have died rather than stepping through the door of it, Vanessa welcomed it. He'd seen just how much her eyes sparked at the culture change soon as they'd stepped off of the plane. A difference from the things she was used to, as she'd said, 'from a filmmakers eye it was all magic'. For that alone it was worth it. to see just how much even so much as the little things meant to her.

She was still ranting away at him as he came back into reality. It only influenced him more to change her mind. It was after eleven o'clock now and all the lights were almost out, only a handle burned bright enough for him to make out her features. It made him think of other moments he didn't care must to think of. Blackouts weren't his thing, they held hurtful memories in ways. that and people were asleep to recharge for the next day of exploring an unknown city.

"V, how about you complain and voice your opinions of what I do wrong tomorrow and tonight we just sleep. You're the one that wanted to be up bright and early to see Andriyivsky Uzviz in full swing."

Andriyivsky Uzviz was the most ancient and steep street in Kiev. Supposedly they had all arts and other things lining the street for sales. They'd spent the night walking around Independence Square. All of the beautiful lights and sights would have been romantic if she'd allowed it to be. He sighed at the thought, it was going to be a very long vacation if he couldn't get her to crack. He saw in the dark as she nodded her head still annoyed and walked forward to the door they'd been assigned. The key card worked on first try as she slipped the door open. people's snores among other noises coming from a bed in the middle of the room made them both pause to look at one another in uneasiness for a second. It was going to be a very long night. There were only two available spots for sleep in the semi large room. A set of bunk beds over in the corner.

"Still glad you came with me?"

She rasped out at him as she began to walk to the side of the room. He stood for a moment taking it in; it most defiantly was nowhere near what he was used to. He'd suck it up though, no complaining, the trip was not for him to complain. Which his luck if he did she'd stick true to her word and go off without him. That wasn't something he wanted to chance. Looking around he felt a little bit better being there with her. Not that she needed someone to protect her, just because people were creepy and he was relieved that she wasn't alone.

"Night"

Lying down on the hard mattress without a pillow he said simply as he pulled the small light weight blanket he's stuffed into his backpack out to cover himself. Maybe if they slept for a while she'd wake up and forget that he'd done anything to annoy her. It was a fat chance but he'd decided to take it. She didn't even bid him a goodnight as she sighed louder and climbed up the latter to sleep in the bunk on top of him.

Nate listened to her toss and turn above him for a half an hour and he smirked to himself, she wasn't having a very easy time sleeping, if she'd even gone to sleep yet. He wanted to be laying with her, rubbing her back and breathing in her scent. Then he'd be able to sleep, even with the strangers snoring around the room. But she would have killed him for it, at least that 's what he'd thought. He didn't hear the creaking of the mattress anymore but he did hear the snapping of the latter as she climbed down. He opened an eye to see what she was doing only to find her perched on the edge of his bed.

"Just tonight, only tonight, because I can't sleep and we need sleep"

She whispered as she slid in onto his chest laying her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes. Nate laid there in shock almost unable to make a movement or say a word as he wrapped his arms around her and held onto her tighter. To his surprise he she didn't give an ounce of complaint as he shut his eyes too. Maybe nine weeks of vacation wouldn't be as tortures as he'd been afraid it would be.


SilkenBone922 – yes, they are that, best couple award goes to… in my opinion at least.

Nix – well I believe this is confirmation that yes, it's a chapter fic ;) hope it's still good

Jo - :D hope this chapter as well

SOFIA?! – woah, haven't heard from you in a million years! Jealous Nate is hot Nate ;)

ooo a jellybean – Nate's going to need some cold cold showers

Alex – At least getting inside of N's mind isn't like getting inside of Chuck's mind, now that is a very dangerous place. Been there done that… now sure how much I enjoy that. lol I'm going to do my best to do them justice, let's keep fingers crossed that I can do it right.

Fitz is back but V's not having him. He's gotta work his butt off, maybe he can maybe he can't. we'll see ;)

Christinamarie712 – well I hope it keeps your interest.

Justawritier – I love jealous Nate almost as much as I love pervy Nate. :D

Izzy- Yea, I have a problem when it comes to laying off making new stories. I blame the writers.

Jealous Nate will not make a disappearance, he's in for a very long summer filled of jealousy and perhaps cold showers? ;)

Yea I think I would be too but it seems like Vanessa tends to attract the creeps. Well, if you count my Scott in that one. ;) lmao

chelle2911 – hope you liked it!

Aleka Nitza – Nate's half of brain deserves to be pulled at too! Lol, hope this kept your interest, I'm going to continue on in Nate's POV all through it I believe.

Pagan-Angel13- I like torturing Nate and showing it :D

I'm trying to keep it short and not make it ramble on as long as my others… we'll see how long that one lasts.

Nate's got more relizing it to do.

:D yay! I hope this chapter kept you as well as the first one. I'll do my best to keep it up. The kid of the plane won't show back up I don't think. But there will be plenty of other guys who take an interest in V. Hmm will she taken an interest in them or won't she? O.o just how bad did dearest Nathaniel hurt Miss Abrams?
