Hey guys, here is the next chapter of Why Wait! Sorry that you all had to wait for it but it's here now! So please read and review.
"You saw that?" I said nervously, as she opened the screen door. She nodded and motioned for me to come inside. I walked inside quickly and saw TJ playing with Jaymie in the living area.
"So, what's going on?" Natalie asked, turning to look at me.
"Uh, well I think that it's pretty easy to realize what's going on Nattie. I'm dating your cousin." I said. Nattie crossed her arms and she shot a look to TJ,
"How long has it been?" Nattie asked me.
"It's been two months. I wanted to tell you Nat, I really did!" I said.
"Yet you didn't. Why didn't you tell me?" Nattie said.
"I... I was scared what your reaction was going to be." I admitted.
"You are unbelievable," Nattie said, shaking her head. I felt my eyes well up with tears and my phone vibrated. I pulled it out and saw that it was Harry.
Message me if you want me to come back bub. Xx
"Who's that?" Nattie asked.
"Harry," I said, not being able to hide the smile that crossed my face.
"Get him back around here," Nattie said. I nodded and sent him a text telling him to come back around.
When Harry arrived at the house, I looked up at Nattie worriedly. Harry didn't even knock; he came right in and walked right up to Nattie, getting in her face. My eyes widened and I quickly moved in between them.
"Harry," I squeaked, placing my hand on his chest. He looked down at me and I saw his brown eyes full of anger and concern.
"Babe, you're overreacting." I whispered. All of a sudden, Nattie pushed me out of the way and she slapped her younger cousin across the face.
"You think you can disrespect me like that?" Her husky voice yelled. I watched stunned as they started a yelling match. Finally, I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see TJ standing there.
"Come in the kitchen and have a drink," TJ said calmly. I nodded and followed him inside the kitchen. He poured me a cup of coffee and I took it gratefully.
"She's upset that you guys have waited this long to tell her," TJ said, looking at me.
"How long has she known?" I asked.
"Since just before Christmas," TJ admitted. My mouth dropped open and he nodded his head.
"We're happy for you guys, you know we are. We just... we wished that you didn't have to hide it from us. We are your best friends and all we wanted was for you two to share your happiness with us." TJ said. I nodded and bit my lip as I heard the two cousins still yelling.
"You wanna go grab your girl and I'll grab my man, calm them down and we'll try and talk about it rationally in ten minutes?" I asked. TJ nodded and we abandoned our coffees as we went into the danger zone.
"Babe, stop it!" I heard TJ say. I walked over to Harry and looked up into his chocolate eyes.
"We all need to calm down, regroup, and then we can talk about this like adults. Without waking Jaymie up." I said. Harry nodded his head and he gripped my hand softly, pulling me out of the room.
"Baby, can you please calm down? Nattie is your cousin and she doesn't deserve to be yelled at like this." I said. Harry rolled his eyes but nodded his head quickly in agreement. I reached up and stroked the back of his hair.
"Thank you," I whispered, before pressing my lips against his. As his lips moved against my own, I melted against him and realised that I really did love this man. Not only did I realise that, I also realised that it terrified me. How could I already be in love with Harry Smith? I slowly pulled away and he wrapped his arms around me tightly.
"Come back to my house tonight." He said, his eyes still shut. I quickly kissed him again in agreement and his eyes opened. I buried my face into his chest and he kissed the top of my head.
"Bethie, can I have a word with you and Harry?" I heard Natalie say. I turned around and looked at her. She was wiping her face free of tears and I agreed. Harry motioned to the front patio and both of us followed him out there.
"Okay, Beth and Harry, I owe the both of you a huge apology. TJ told me that you now know how long I've known and the reason I blew up is because... Bethie, you are my best friend and Harry, you are my cousin. Of course I was going to love the idea of you guys being together but you hid it from me. Am I that much of a bitch that you felt that you had to hide it from me?" Nattie said. I shook my head and walked over to her, pulling her into a hug.
"No Nattie it's just.. I know that you see Harry as a baby brother to you and I know that you are protective of him. I just... I dunno, I didn't think that you would approve of me being with him. Don't blame Harry for us hiding it from you, it was my choice." I informed her. Nattie enveloped me into another hug and I felt her lips drop a kiss in my hair.
"As long as you and my baby cousin are happy, I'm happy. I'm happy that you guys are happy together." She whispered into my ear.
"Can we just start over and forget any of this ever happened?" Nattie said. Both Harry and I smiled at her and nodded our heads. TJ came out and he grinned at us.
"The pool's heated up, are we gonna have some fun?" He asked. I looked at Harry and he shrugged. Nattie squealed with excitement and dragged me inside. We gushed about our boys like little schoolgirls as we got changed into bikinis and then we made our way back downstairs.
As we walked into their heated pool room, I saw Harry's eyes nearly pop out of his head. I smiled at him shyly and Nattie and I slowly walked into the shallow end of the pool.
"You do realise that TJ and I will end up being all over each other right?" Nattie said. I grinned and looked at Nattie.
"If you get to be like that, then so do Harry and I." I replied. Nattie nodded and I felt Harry's strong arms wrap around me. I smirked at Nattie and she rolled her eyes as I turned around in Harry's arms. Harry grinned brightly and he motioned to the far corner.
"Come sit with me over there," He murmured. I nodded and swam over to the corner, hearing Harry behind me. I made it to the step and turned around, just as Harry got over to me. I allowed him to sit down and then he pulled me onto his lap. I straddled him easily and wrapped my arms loosely around his neck.
"Nix," Harry growled, before attaching his lips to mine. I was suddenly experiencing things I'd never experienced before and I pulled back quickly, licking my lips and backing up to the wall of the little seat. Harry watched me carefully and waited for my reaction. I held my breath and then nodded my head nervously. He came over to me and hovered over me in the water. I could feel one of his legs between mine and shivered slightly.
"I'm not going to hurt you," Harry whispered. I nodded and placed my hands on the top of his board shorts. I pulled him as close as possible to me and cupped his cheek with my hand.
"Baby," I whispered, falling silent and allowing my eyes to say what I wanted to.
"Nixxy, you know that I'm not going to hurt you right?" Harry said. I nodded my head and he kissed me softly.
"Then trust me," He whispered. I bit my lip and allowed him to attack my neck with kisses. His lips were unbelievable and knew exactly what to do to make me feel special.
"I love you," He said. I froze, stunned, and he pulled back to look at me, a smirk on his face.
"I know that you're not going to say it back right now, I just want you to know that I do love you Beth and I'm always going to love you." He said. I felt my eyes well up with tears and I heard whispers behind me. I looked up to see that Nattie and TJ were trying to sneakily make their way to the spa, Nattie's arm covering her naked top half.
"Looks like your cousin and her fiance are having a lot of fun." I said, motioning to them. Harry shook his head and moved to sit next to me.
"Yeah," He said. I knew that he was disappointed with my reaction and I slid off the step into the water in front of him, running my hands up and down his thighs.
"I think... that we should have our own fun," I said, smirking up at him. He grinned and easily picked me up, sitting me down in his lap and capturing my lips with his. I moaned and felt his hands running all over my body. All my fears went away and all I wanted at this moment was Harry. And judging from where I was sitting, I could tell that he was wanting me just as much.
"Harry," I murmured, breaking our kiss. I heard him sigh and felt him start to back away but I moved closer to him.
"Don't you dare move away from me!" I whispered. Harry smirked and raised his eyebrow.
"What you said earlier, I feel it too. I'm just not strong enough to say it back to you just yet." I murmured. Harry went to speak but I silenced him with a kiss. His hands started roaming again and I shivered once more at the contact.
"You're amazing," I said against his lips.
"Um... guys... that is our pool." I heard Nattie say. I jumped away from Harry and blushed madly. She laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Young love," TJ cooed before they both walked off. I looked at Harry and he kissed me again."
"I guess we're not going to have amazing pool sex!" He said. I rolled my eyes and hit his chest. He grinned and held me close to him. I smiled and rested my head on his chest.
"Thank you for being so accepting of us," I said to Nattie as I gave her a hug goodbye.
"Well... eventually at least," Harry laughed, picking my bag up. Nattie shrugged her shoulders and laughed.
"I'll see you guys tomorrow then," She said, pushing us out the door and shutting it.
"What's tomorrow Harry?" I asked, confusion apparent all over my face.
"It's uh... tomorrow is the Hart family dinner at Ellie's house. It's also the day that we are going to introduce you, the love of my life, to my whole family as my girlfriend." He said. I gulped and looked down at my feet. Today I had to teal with Natalie and now I'm being thrown into the deep end by being introduced to the entire Hart family?
Looks like my week away with Harry was sure going to be an interesting one.
There you have it, that is Chapter 3. My disclaimer is I own nothing. NattieKiddFan currently has temporary ownage of Harry Smith but I'll get him back. So read and review!
