I'm Only Sleeping- Chapter Eleven
Sara's POV-
I really didn't know where we were going. And it was starting to get near that time where I needed to get ready for the party. But if that would mean I had to stop holding Nate's hand, I wouldn't go. Just holding his hand made me feel safe. And to be honest, he was the type of guy that makes you, erm, hot. And every moment I was touching him, even if he accidentally brushed his hand against, it send a bolt of tingles all over my body. I was shivering, and I'm pretty sure he thought I was cold, and that's why he put his arm around me while walking briskly to wherever it was we were going.
And to top it off, a slight blush was creeping up my neck. But let's get one thing straight. I am not like this with boys. And I am not naïve or whatever. I may be innocent, but I'm not naïve; which is something that boys think I am. But when it comes to Nate, I feel like a little girl and a woman at the same time, which was confusing me to the extreme. I mean I had a sizeable crush on him, but like it isn't the L-word is it? And what about the girl he liked? I would be devastated if it wasn't me.
Ugh, this is so confusing. And I can tell you—I'm not one to be confused.
Nate's POV-
We were almost there, and I knew she needed to get back, but I just wanted five minutes alone with her. Yes, nobody knew us in the city (well, her- I heard a couple of "OMJ's") but I wanted her all to myself for just a couple moments. And anyways, this place was close to the village so we would get back quickly.
And after a couple minutes, I felt her shivering, and I pulled her close, though it didn't really help. And within a few silent moments, we were there.
We went inside and climbed the steps, and went through the door. She was a couple steps ahead of me, and took off her coat, holding it in her arms, looking around in wonderment.
"Is this for real?" She asked, disbelieving.
I came up behind her, and rested my head on her shoulder. "Yes," I whispered in her ear. I was being as smooth as possible, trying to get her to drop some hints if she liked me.
Her head was tilted to the side, and she had one lone curl on her ear going down her statuesque neck. I found that she had a perfectly placed beauty mark on the side of her neck. I started to move the curl away, maybe to kiss her neck….But she moved! Not without breaking out in goose bumps, though, I might add.
She walked around, laying one finger on all the equipment. Her back was too me as she traced her finger on the table as she walked about the rows of enlargers and screens. Then suddenly, she turned to me, saying "I can't believe they allowed us into the Institute of Photography without any official company! But," she came really close to me, our noses almost touching, and she said in a low voice, "I don't really know how to thank you…" Her voice drifted off leaving a silence between us, as our faces drifted nearer to each other. I watched her eyes flutter closed and I leaned in a millimeter closer, and just as I was about to---
"Oh gosh!"
"What?!"
"What time is it?"
"4:30…"
"I need to be back in like 15 minutes!! We have to go!!"
She rushed to put on her coat, but then she paused. And turning to me again, she said, "Nate…?"
"Hmmm?"
"Well, I don't really know how to ask this…but, I was wondering, if umm, you'd come to the party with me? As like a—"
I thought she was gonna say date. I hoped she would say date. I begged God for her to say date, so I could sweep her up in my arms and I could finally know—
"A friend?"
A friend? That just sucks. No other words. And duh, I was beyond disappointed. But I couldn't show her that. And anyway, she was still inviting me wasn't she? So maybe then she really did like me. But then what if she really did just think of me as a friend? Ugh, this is incredibly confusing.
But while I was meditating on this she was standing there, waiting for an answer, so, I very simply said, "Yes."
And we were off.
A.N.- Sorry for how short the chapter is. You know, the writing gods decided that they'd give me amazing writer's block, so this chapter is shortish and kind of sucky. But whatever, the next will be much better, I promise!! Alright, review please!
