A/N: LOVED the feedback for the last 2 chapters so please keep it up! This chapter will be back in Andy's POV; I think it definitely comes easier for me!
I can't believe he is acting this way, I know he feels something for me. He wouldn't have kissed me like that if he didn't. The thought would have never crossed his mind; unless I'm some naive teenager who he just wanted to shut up. But that is not it, it can't be. The way he looks at me when I'm with Nathan, basically just how he looks at me all the time. Like I'm the only girl in the world he wants to be looking at. I took this job because I needed the money, I didn't expect to fall in love with the guy! Damn it..this made things so much more confusing. Everything was going to be so awkward, I just wanted to go back to the way it was before. But we could never go back, I don't think it was even possible. Every time I look at him I remember how his lips felt on mine and how his arms felt around my waist, I just want to feel that again and I'm not going to be able to. Why does he have to be so stubborn?
It was a new day and I was going to treat it as one. I knew things were going to be awkward between us, they had to be. He basically told me that he didn't give a shit about me yesterday..how could things not be weird? But that was besides the point, this was my job. I had to be professional, he can act like I'm just some stupid teenager but I am going to prove him wrong.
I got up 30 minutes later than usual, I wanted to avoid breakfast with Sam. If I went into the house 30 minutes later than I could just go straight to get Nathan and that would at least put a barrier between us. So that is what I did, I went into the house to find the kitchen empty. I saw the light on in Sam's room and walked right by. I went up the stairs to Nathan's room. I had barely seen him yesterday; after our talk I had pretty much just stayed in my room all day. Not even coming out for dinner. I needed time to think and more importantly a night to sleep on it, to figure out how the hell I was going to go about this. I didn't come to 'being professional' till about 2:00 this morning.
When I opened up Nathan's door it suddenly all made sense why I was putting myself through this. It was for him. The little boy that was currently curled up in his bed. He was the reason, the only reason that I had stayed after yesterday. I told Sam that I would never leave him and I was not going to break that promise. Never.
"Hey baby, time to get up. We have a fun day ahead of us."
He rubbed his little eyes trying to wake himself up. "Mornin' mama. I missed you yesterday."
"I missed you too buddy. But we get to spend the whole day together today! How does that sound?"
"Yay! Mama we gonna have sooooo much fun!"
"Yes we are! Now how about we get up so we can go tell daddy bye?"
"Kay...I's up...I's up."
I picked him up and carried him down the stairs. He had changed so much over just the last two months. He has grown a little bit and isn't quite so chubby. If there was one thing I missed it was his chubby arms..they were adorable! I almost wanted to just feed him cake and ice cream all day so he would get all chubby again!
When I reached the bottom step Sam was walking out of his room.
"Oh hey...coffee's ready for you in the kitchen."
"Thanks Sam, you didn't have to do that."
"Of course I did, I've done it ever since you moved in here. Why would I stop now?"
Oh I don't know cause you told me you could care less about me? Ugh right being professional. "Uh...I...uh..I don't know..just thanks I guess."
"No problem McNally." Okay if he could stop sending me mixed signals that would make everything A LOT easier! Luckily we always had Nathan to break some of the tension.
"Daddy...me and mama are gonna have a fun day today!"
Sam turned and looked at me; giving me one of those looks that I could never really decipher what he was trying to tell me. "Oh yeah buddy, what are y'all going to do?"
"I don't know." Nathan turned in my arms to look at me. "Mama what are we doing today?"
"Whatever you want to do baby..you get to pick."
"Did you hear that daddy..I get to pick..mama is letting ME pick!"
"I did hear that, well I'm sure you are going to have lots of fun today. I'll see you tonight okay?"
"Yep! See you tonight daddy." Sam came and kissed Nathan on the forehead, like he did every morning, but this time it was different. When he leaned in he grabbed my elbow and pulled me forward. So basically we were all hugging and all being way too close together. I could feel his breath on my face and all I wanted to do was stand on my tip toes and kiss him, kiss him until he admitted how he really felt. But I couldn't he made that very clear and I was going to accept that. If he doesn't like me then why is he touching me and holding me very very close..was he trying to drive me absolutely insane?
He took a step back and must have noticed what he had done because as he was walking out the door I heard a muffled 'sorry' leave his lips.
Well that was just fantastic...
A/N: Sorry it's so short, this chapter was definitely supposed to be longer but I didn't have as much time today as I originally thought. So hope this helps until tomorrow!
