New chapter cause I love you all so much :)

Disclaimer: I don't own Nate or Alex or Shane or Jason…idk if I own Ruth or not. I own Zoey Jeyers lol

Nate's POV

What the hell did I just say? I thought to myself. I think it's official; Alex has made me go insane. Or it's teenage hormones. Either way I'm pretty sure I just freaked her out.

The rest of the day went pretty smoothly. I didn't burn any more food, Shane stayed locked in his room "repairing his eyes", and Jason was on the phone all day. Weird, right? I never knew Jason had friends. I know that sounds mean but he is a bit of a…airhead. My mom basically forced Alex to put her clothes in the dresser in case she was staying long, so the only thing she could do was obey. I knew she felt awkward around me because of what I said, but every time I tried to talk to her my mom would interrupt us. Right now I was in the living room watching TV. The door bell rang and Jason ran down the stairs and answered it. I heard him talking to someone.

"Hey, thanks for coming over." He greeted them. The person said something back and he started pulling them inside. "They're going to love you, trust me." I was leaning over the edge of the couch to see the door and I began to lose my balance and fell right on my head.

"Oww!" I whisper screamed.

"Did your hair break the fall?" Alex asked from behind me. I didn't even have to look up because I knew her voice by now.

"No." I mumbled, getting off the floor. "What are you doing down here? Did you finally escape from my mother?" I asked seriously.

"Ha-ha, very funny. I came downstairs to get the door as an excuse to leave that room but I saw it was for Jason. Then I heard a thump and I'm guessing that was your head hitting the floor."

"Hey it's not funny. That hurt." I pouted and she laughed.

"Aw, does the baby want me to kiss it?" Suddenly I got very happy.

"Yes please." She kissed my forehead. "Now it hurts here." I pointed to my nose. She kissed my nose and then I pointed to my cheek. She smiled and kissed my cheek. "My lips are pretty damaged so they will take the longest to heal." She playfully hit my chest then our lips met. We stayed like that for a few seconds until Jason yelled, "Everyone, there's someone I want you to meet!"

"I'm busy!" We just barely heard Shane call from his room. We laughed and went to meet Jason's friend.

Alex's POV

When Nate and I walked out of the living room, we saw Jason with a nervous looking girl next to him. I noticed them holding hands behind their close bodies. Of course, Jason was smiling.

"Hey guys. This is my girlfriend, Ruth. We met at college and just instantly clicked." A smile formed on her mouth when he said that. I looked her up and down and noticed she was pretty tall. Her hair was long and straight like Mitchie's, but a lighter shade of brown. I was always bad at guessing what color people's eyes were, but hers were almost definitely hazel.

"Hi it's nice to meet you. I'm Alex, Jason's brother's girlfriend." I stepped forward and she began to put her hand out but I surprised her with a hug. I always preferred hugs. With a quick glance I saw that her eyes were indeed hazel. Nate stuck his hand out.

"I'm Nate, Jason's brother. And Alex's boyfriend." She laughed a little while they shook hands. Shane came pounding down the stairs, of course looking angry.

"Dude, what do you want?!" He snapped. That startled all of us. Jason looked upset.

"I-I wanted you to meet my girlfriend-"

"Hi I'm Shane. Bye." He spun around and ran back upstairs as loud as he came down.

"Someone's PMS-ing…" Nate mumbled. Jason turned to Ruth.

"I'm so sorry. He isn't usually like this, but don't worry. I honestly can care less if Shane hates you, because everyone else basically hates him. And of course I love you." He kissed her while I awed.

"Jason, you big mush ball, come here." I said and opened my arms for a hug. He gladly accepted. I looked at Ruth. "Shane is exactly like a bratty girl. We all deal with it." She laughed and so did Nate and Jason.

"He's only happy when Mitchie is around." Nate explained. An 'o' shape formed on her mouth. Then she looked confused and I laughed.

"Mitchie is Shane's girlfriend, and my best friend."

"Ohhh, I get it now. Sorry, I guess Jason never explained all this to me." She shrugged.

"Yeah, sorry about that." Jason apologized. "Let's go in the kitchen and eat some lunch." We all followed into the kitchen. "Nate, Alex," We looked at him, "Don't touch the stove." Both Nate and I pushed him. Nate dragged him onto the floor and held him down.

"And stay down!" He commanded sarcastically.

"Okay, dude, you're hurting me." Jason whined. All three of us laughed as Nate pulled him up as easily as he shoved him down. "When did you get so strong? What happened to the wimpy little brother I had?"

"He's upstairs being moody and bitchy." Nate shot back. We all laughed again. I wrapped my arms around Nate's arm. Damn, he WAS strong.

"Has my Nate been working out?" I teased.

"Not as much as my lips have been from kissing many parts of your body." He whispered huskily into my ear. That sent shivers down my spine.

"Don't expect that often." I whispered back. I turned to Jason who was looking at us with a raised eyebrow.

"Well I still see the ring on Nate's finger, so I won't jump to conclusions." He smirked then turned toward the fridge. My face grew red. I looked at Nate but he suddenly seemed to be in deep thoughts.

"Nate?" I snapped my finger in front of his face. He jumped a little. "You okay?"

"What? Yeah, I'm fine. Let's eat."

---x3OJDx3---

Lunch was fun and I noticed Ruth starting to look more comfortable in the situation. That made me happy. It wasn't often that Jason got a girlfriend. I remember once when he was in 7th grade he dated a girl named Zoey Jeyers. (A/N-Lmao!)

-Flashback-

Jason finally came home from school while me and Nate were playing dress up. I made him do it even though he didn't want to.

"Hey guys. This is my girlfriend, Zoey. We'll be in my room."

"Hi Zoey!" Me and Nate said at the same time. We laughed while she blew a bubble.

"Uhm, hi." Then they walked upstairs.

"I don't like her very much." Nate said.

"Me neither."

-End Flashback-

Let's just say Zoey didn't last long.

Nate's POV

"Well, I think that went well." I said to Alex. She nodded.

"I definitely like her better than Zoey." She made a disgusted face and I laughed.

"Yeah." I agreed.

We ended up watching TV the rest of the night.

"Next. Next. Next." Alex said as I flipped the channel. It landed on a concert that was live from somewhere in New Jersey.

"Hey 'yall, I want to thank you for coming out here tonight!" Oh god. It was freakin Hannah Montana. I hated her southern accent. It reminded me of…Miley. I had to admit, Hannah was kind of hot, but I had a girlfriend that was beautiful.

"Nate! Change it already! Stop gawking at Hannah."

"Oh, sorry. And I was not gawking at her." I said defending myself.

"Sure you weren't." Alex rolled her eyes.

After about forty-five minutes TV started to get boring.

"Let's watch a moive." Alex suggested.

"K, go pick one." She got on the floor and started looking through our many movies. She pulled out like five, then put two back, then pulled out three, then put back four. I think. She got up and had two in each hand.

"Okay, so it's between Inspector Gadget and Air Buddies." She held them up.

"Uhm…the one with the dogs." I chose.

"Air Buddies?" I nodded. "Okay then." She put the DVD in and sat down next to me. I put my arm around her and she rested her head on my shoulder. About halfway through the movie, I looked down at Alex, whose head was now resting on my chest, and it looked like she was asleep.

"Alex." I whispered. No answer. I untangled myself from her and reached over to get the remote, but she was once again attached to me. I laughed quietly and stopped the movie. I turned the TV off and looked at her. Once again, she looked beautiful when she slept. "Let's get you to bed, Ms. Russo." I picked her up bridal style and carried her upstairs to the guest bedroom. "Hopefully one day you will be Mrs. Grey." I whispered, stroking her hair. I kissed her forehead and looked at her jeans. I've already seen her in her underwear today, it won't kill anyone. I thought. Unbuttoning her pants took a lot of self control, but it was even harder when I had to pull them off her. Control yourself Nate. Remember she's asleep. Now I had to find her pajamas. Oh forget it, she can wear my clothes. I ran into my room and came back seconds later with a pair of my sweatpants and one of my t-shirts. I slipped the baggy pants onto her legs, those beautiful long legs, agh control! Then I realized something. "Shit." Girls aren't supposed to sleep in bras, are they? I felt her shoulder. Of course, she was wearing one. I started thinking of ways I could do this without, well, you know. Maybe I could ask mom...no that would make it even more awkward.

After about five minutes, I finally had an idea. Pulling off her shirt, I moaned. Seeing her in that bra again, damn it was testing my self control. I grabbed my shirt and pulled it down so it was resting on her shoulders, like she was wearing a big scarf. I slipped the straps of her bra off her shoulders and pulled her arms out of it. Now it was like she was wearing a strapless bra. She started moving and her eyes blinked. "Naatee?" She asked groggily.

"Shh, go back to sleep, baby." She obeyed and her head fell on the pillow. I pulled the shirt over her torso and put her arms through the sleeves. Okay, here goes. I slipped my arms up her back under the shirt. I unclasped the bra and slipped it off her. Self Control. I reminded myself. I took her jeans, shirt and bra and put them in a pile next to the door.

"Goodnight, my future." I kissed her forehead again and walked to the door. I turned around and saw a smile on her sleeping face. I smiled and shut off the light. After closing the door, going to my room and getting changed, I began thinking again. I needed to talk to someone about this, and see if I was entirely sure. There was only one person in this house that I could talk to about it though. Just like I used to do with all of my problems. I had to talk to Shane.

Im terribly sorry for the very late update. I've been uber busy. Hope you liked it. R&R
