I felt somebody slide their hands around my waist and kissed my cheeks. Without turning around, I knew who it was. I recognized that familiar scent and soft, warm hands anywhere.
"Good morning, beautiful!" He greeted me with a warm smile. There was an air of contentment around him and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Hello handsome. You sure seem to be in a good mood today!" I beamed back at him.
"Yeah I am! Guess what.." He asked bursting with excitement. "You know the History test I've been worrying about the whole week?"
I nodded at him. How can I forget? He had such a hard time studying for the test because every time he opened his book, his eyes would start closing. He really hates History! I had to come over to his house every night just to help him study. The only way to motivate him to study is to make it fun. I had to try various ways to make it enjoyable and he would get little rewards if he got the answers right. And it worked! He was a History genius by the end of the night.
"Yeah baby.. How's the test today?" I asked him curiously.
He grinned. "Super easy! I could have done all the questions with my eyes closed! For the first time, I think I could get an A! It's all thanks to you.. Really, thanks for helping me babe. It means a lot!" He hugged me tightly.
"Aw that's great news!" I hugged him back and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Don't thank me, thank yourself for putting in the effort." I smiled at him.
I'm so proud of him! I guess our study dates worked out well. He looks extremely happy right now and he couldn't stop smiling. He looks so adorable grinning from to ear to ear! The sight of him being happy makes me happy.
[Heath]
I really owe everything to Nat. What an angel that girl is! I could just hug her forever! I wish I could repay her kindness for helping me.. She has no idea how thankful I am! And I really had a great time studying with her. Who knew studying could be so fun? Well, as long as she's around.. Doing anything and everything is fun!
I smiled as I walked down the hallway until I saw the Nexus.
Why are the Nexus huddled together in a corner? I could see Wade talking to them and they all looked dead serious.
".. And nobody tells Heath okay." Wade spoke softly to them.
Hmm? Did I just hear my name?
"Huh? Tell me what?" I spoke from behind and startled them all. They all jumped back in shock.
They straightened their backs and Wade looked at me in alarm. Wade quickly shot a look at the rest of the Nexus, as if telling them not to tell me anything. I looked at all of them and eyed them suspiciously. Why are they looking all serious?
"Ooooooo-kay. Spill it. What's going on?" I raised my eyebrows.
Wade laughed and punched my arm playfully. "Oh you curious fool. It's nothing.. Just that.. Umm.." He took a sideway glance at Justin."Justin likes this girl in her Math class. And we're just telling him how he should make a move on her.."
Justin nodded his head in agreement and laughed nervously.
"Ooooookay? But then why did you say nobody should tell me?" I was feeling doubtful.
"That's because..Uhh.. It's Alexa. And you said she was hot.. So I thought you might not like it if I ask her out." Justin said quickly.
I looked at each of their faces. They held their breath staring back at me. What are they hiding from me? Oh well, maybe I'm just being paranoid. I mean, I've always kinda knew Justin had a mini crush on her.. And he's always been the shy one to approach girls. So I guess it's not surprising that Nexus is trying to help him.
"Dude, I'm with Nat. I don't like Alexa. You should totally date her." I shrugged and gave Justin the thumbs up.
Wade looks relieved."So anyway, we're hitting somewhere tonight. You better come bro! We won't take no for an answer. You've been bailing on us a lot man!"
I thought for a moment. It is true. I've been spending so much time with Nat lately. I'm not complaining, of course. I really love her and seeing her every time makes my day. But I have been bailing out on my bros.. I feel bad now. I can't even remember the last time I went out with them!
"Alright.. I'll go.. Only because I miss you guys!"
[Wade]
"Do you really want to do this Wade? Maybe we shouldn't bother them.. We have no right to meddle with their love life.." Justin spoke up.
"Don't make me laugh! I don't give a hoot about them!" I barked. "Everyone is clear of the plan?" I asked the Nexus and they all nodded obediently.
I nodded back and smirked. Good! Finally, I will get my revenge against Heath and that stupid girl of his. I'll show them why nobody messes with the Wade Barrett. After tonight, I'll make sure Nat will never want to see Heath ever again. I will make sure she will cringe hearing his name. I'll make sure she's sorry for falling in love with him.
My thoughts were interrupted as Heath finally came and he was frowning in disapproval. "What? We're going clubbing tonight? I told you I'm not into clubbing anymore.. You know my girl doesn't like it."
"Chillax! It's only for one night! She'll never know.. Come on!" I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him inside. The music was blasting loudly and the place was packed tonight. I could see Heath's eye wondering around the club. I could tell that he missed hanging out here.
"Well.. Yeah okay. It's only for one night.. " Heath finally agreed half-heartedly. "I kinda miss clubbing.. Just a little."
"Of course you miss clubbing. You haven't stepped in here for ages! So enjoy yourself tonight bro! Cheers!" I pushed a huge glass into his hand. He hesitated for a moment but took it.
"Hey, I'll give you 20 bucks if you can chug it down within 15 seconds." I made a bet with him. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders.
A few people nearby got interested and leaned forward to watch the action chanting, "CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG CHUG!"
Heath downed every single last drop within 8 seconds and slammed the glass on the table. Everyone nearby clapped, clearly impressed by him. Heath looks very pleased. "Don't mess with the champ!" He started flexing his muscles.
I laughed. "You're the real deal. Okay here's the 20 bucks." I handed the cash to him. "You know what, I'm glad that you finally come here with us bro! You're going to have the time of your life!"
Oh, that's right. I smiled gleefully to myself. Heath Slater, this is one night you will NEVER forget.
[Wade]
"Hey, look! That chick looks like Megan Fox!" I pointed at a random girl trying to distract Heath. He turned around, stretching his neck trying to find the look-alike. I quickly shot a look at Justin. He nodded and understood my signal. He took out a tiny silver bottle and tipped something inside a glass.
"I don't see any girl looking like Megan Fox." Heath returned his attention to me.
" I guess I was wrong." I pushed the glass that Justin has spiked towards Heath. "Since you haven't been drinking for so long, this is my treat. Drink up!"
He started shaking his head. "No, no. I don't plan on drinking that much tonight.."
"Come on, It's not every day you're coming here. You said you're going to enjoy yourself tonight! So go ahead and enjoy! The drinks are on me." I urged him further. "Don't be a loser dude, it's only for one night."
He looks uncertain now and his eyes were lingering on the drink. I knew Heath wasn't of fan of alcohol that much, but persuading him to drink is like stealing candy from a baby. Heath looked at me hesitantly. As I expected, he nodded and shrugged his shoulders. "Oh what the heck.. Just one more drink won't hurt."
"That's the way bro!" I nodded and pat his shoulders in approval.
He took the glass and started drinking it. I looked at the rest of Nexus and smirked in delight.
