Nate looked at her, not quite knowing whether this was a test or not. The reason he thought this is because Ivy used to love playing games, she used to love giving him an option and if he took it she would tell if he was thinking with his head or with his crotch. He walked forward to her with the same suspicious look on his face.
"You sure?" Ivy had her hand still stuck out "Of course I'm sure, I just...I just really need you tonight please"
Nate took her hand and nodded "Of course" Ivy gave him a small smile and led him to her room, an eyeful Jude watched Ivy lead her newly back together boyfriend into her room and quietly gasped. He ran upstairs to tell Mariana "No, no..." Mariana laughed, she went looked out the window in the hall that shows the back yard and she saw that Ivy was infact leading Nate to her room "No freaking way" she Mariana mumbled to herself with Callie behind her. Mariana looked to Callie, they both laughed in shock and then looked back out.
"Didn't Ivy show that she didn't like you two spying on her?" Brandon said as he walked from the bathroom to his room. Callie and Mariana scowled at him for trying to ruin their fun, they looked to each other and knew that he was in fact right. Nodding to each other they then left the window and went back to their bedroom.
"Well it's certainly different than the last one"
"You mean the fact I haven't got a nine year old in my room?"
"Y'know that may be it" Nate said with a laugh as Ivy came back out from the bathroom, in a baggy grey t-shirt with black not too baggy hareem pants. She walked over and sat down on the bed as he remained stood and looking at her "Come here" she whispered as she patted on the bed. He did as he was asked and sat down next to her. "Thank you for today"
"You've said that like three times already, there's no need to thank"
"There's every need...I love the fact that I always have you with me and I love..." Ivy lost her train of thought as she looked at his lips, before he even had chance to notice her lips were pressed against his. He tangled his fingers in her smooth blonde hair. Ivy pulled his body closer to hers as she gripped onto the collar of his shirt. Her hands traveled to the back of his neck, and then her arms were wrapped around his neck loosely altogether as Nate's arms wrapped around her waist, his lifted her and onto his lap. Her legs wrapped around his waist. Their lips broke apart to catch their heavy breaths. Their foreheads pressed against each others. Ivy smiled with her eye's closed and then slowly shook her head, she knocked her head back to look to him "I erm..." she laughed still trying to catch her breath from the very fast and very heated moment she was coming back down to earth from.
"Not to make this sound like I'm 'leading you on' but I kind of wanted you to stay to just, hold me"
Nate smiled and laughed he bit his bottom lip, he softly pushed the piece of the hair that was in her face to behind her ear.
"I'd want nothing more...besides second base on the first few dates that's gotta be some sort of good sign right?" Ivy looked at him and gave an amused sound from his little witty sentence bit nodded "It is" she lent her forehead against his again and then got off his lap and slid into bed, she patted next to her for him to join her.
"If I knew we were having a sleepover like the good old days, I would have packed my jammies" he laughed as he lay next to her. Ivy smiled as she pressed her back against his body, taking his arm and pulling it over her she then kissed his hand. Nate smirked and kissed the back of her head then lifted his head and kissed her cheek and whispered "Goodnight"
The next morning. Just as everyone was getting up for work and school, Mariana and Callie noticed that Ivy wasn't out of her room. They also knew that Stef and Lena had no idea that Nate was in there sleeping with her. Stef looked at her watch as she was chewing on a bowl of cereal "Shouldn't she be up?"
"Well she seemed to be...occupied last night" Mariana muttered as she was trying to keep her laughter down. Everyone looked to her. Callie also tried to keep her laughter, Jude looked at them with his eyebrows raised hoping they don't land Ivy in it whilst Brandon didn't really care that much although he did also find it partly amusing. Jesus didn't know as Jude didn't tell him. Stef and Lena looked at her in confusion and also Callie for that mattered.
"What do you mean?" Lena laughed at their laughter from being out of the loop.
"Well-she's got a friend in there" Callie slowly stated out to make it sound not as scandalous. Lena looked to Stef as Stef did the same to her, they then got the grasp and their heads snapped back to Callie "Nate?"
"Who else?" Jude shrugged "You knew too!" Lena pointed to him. She wasn't angry she was just a little surprised. Jude giggled and nodded.
Sharon laugh and clapped her hands together just once but loudly "High five to Ivy"
"Not exactly helping mother" Stef said in a hushed tone "Right well then" Stef went to go to the garage. She was quickly stopped by the grab on the arm by Lena "You can't just barge in there"
"She's got a boy in her room-what? Why are you looking at me like that"
Lena tilted her head and said in an almost whisper "She's twenty one years old, honey, I don't think you can exactly tell her whether she can or cannot sleep with her boyfriend"
"A boyfriend who she has been with for like three days"
"Yeah but in all fairness she has loved him for about seven years" Jesus interrupted, Mariana shrugged and nodded "He is right it's not as if he is some random guy she just met they kind of waited to be in each others arms"
"Stop her before I throw up" Brandon laughed.
"For goodness sake Stephanie she'll be up soon" Sharon rolled her eyes and stated in her usual loud voice. Stef sighed and looked to Lena who motioned her to come and sit down for breakfast.
Ivy's eyes slowly opened, she looked to the clock on her side table. She blinked slowly to make her vision clearer. When she saw the time her eyes widened instantly "Shit...shit" she started to tap Nate "Nate wake up"
"Mm?" He groaned as he was still half asleep. Ivy rolled her eyes and plucked a hair off the arm that rested over her body. It very much woke him up "Ah! Bloody hell"
"We're gonna be late, come on get up" Ivy quickly shot up and ran to her wardrobe, grabbed an outfit and then ran into the bathroom "Don't go in there in my watch" he called. He had no reply, he simply heard a little giggle. Nate sat up and sent a text to Milo.
HEY BUD PLEASE BRING A BAG OF CLOTHES FROM MY WARDROBE, I NEED A FRESH TANK TOP AND SOME JOGGERS. CHEERS MAN.
As soon as Ivy was dressed which surprisingly didn't take too long. She wore a medium shade a black t-shirt along with a long grey leather jacket where the big flaps of the jacket flopped backwards over some of the front. Black jean pants and smart brown leather ankle boots. Her hair was partly tied back as the rest remained free and down. She took him by the hand and brought him out the garage and into the kitchen where everyone still was.
"Oh hello, you two" Mariana greeted in a very enthusiastic tone. Ivy smiled rather smugly to Mariana, she looked to Stef and quickly dropped her big smile to just a little one she walked over to her aunts and grandmother "Nothing happened"
"Ha yeah right" Sharon winked
"I'm serious" Ivy laughed giving a little push to Sharon "She's telling the truth" Nate nervously smile feeling awkward. Jesus glared to him and scanned his face then pointed to Nate's face "Okay nothing happened, if it did he would be smiling like some sort of Cheshire Cat or whatever they are called"
"And why wouldn't I be smiling?" Ivy looked to Jesus putting her hand on her hip as her other hand rested on Sharon's shoulder. "Girls like to be more subtle, they like the secretary and the privacy, you'd probably smile when no-one was around" everyone looked to Jesus in complete shock and surprise he looked to them
"What? Lexi told me these things when we went out"
"Right...well you should all get a move on" Sharon said fluttering her hands about. Ivy hugged her grandmother tightly and kissed her on the cheek "Have a safe flight"
"Thank you sweetheart, I'll see you soon okay?"
"Yeah, love you"
The kids one by one said goodbye to Sharon by giving her a hug and a kiss before they left. Nate was the last one to go, he didn't give Sharon a hug or a kiss since he didn't know her too well, they met once or twice before now. He gave her a smile and said goodbye, before he had chance to go she stopped him "Hey kid"
Nate turned back "Yeah?"
"I'm sure you've had the protective speech from someone in this family, now I'm not one for threats but if you hurt my granddaughter I will come back down here and you will not like what I have to say or what I will do" Sharon threatened and then giving him a smile.
"Mom! No threats" Stef whined as she put the dishes in the sink, she looked to Nate "Sorry" she mouthed. Nate shrugged and laughed. Nate looked to her a little taken back, he then did a long nod "Understood, I'll do my best" he then turned and left.
They all drove in separate cars. Lena and the kids in one car. Ivy in hers and Nate in his. When Ivy got out of the car she wished the kids a good day. Lena walked over to her "So last night"
"Yeah last night"
"So did anything happen?"
"Aunt Lena!" she laughed "No it didn't, he won't get in my bed in that way so easily"
"Oh, well in that case there's finally a difference between you and Stef"
"Why?" she then dropped her jaw "How long was it for you two?" Lena looked from down at her coffee to Ivy with an amused look on her face "Are you kidding? On the first date your aunt pounced so hard I have never known anything like it in my life"
"Wow...maybe I should take a leaf out of her book" Ivy laughed as they walked inside the school, she looked to Nate and smiled to him as she bit her lip. He closed his car door looking at her pulling the same smile.
When Nate got into the sports hall he saw Milo sat on the seat stalls with a gym bag his hand "Hey!" Milo called as he launched the bag down hitting Nate in the face, Milo ran down from the top of the stalls and jumped at him "Sup you dirty dog"
Nate shook his head "Not exactly"
Milo held his arms out as he chewed on a protein bar "What're you talking about you stayed at Ivy's right?"
"Yeah but nothing happened"
Milo began to laugh thinking Nate was joking, when he saw Nate's face his laugh stopped "Oh you're serious"
"Yep" Nate took a bite out of Milo's protein bar as he looked in the bag "So what did happen?" Nate looked up from the bag and shrugged "We slept, cuddled in bed but thats it"
"Hm, well I'm not that surprised, she's not the girl to-"
"Have sex so early yeah I got that, thanks for the clothes"
Milo patted Nate on the back and began to walk away "No problem bud"
When Ivy got to her classroom, she walked over to her desk and found an envelope resting on it. She picked up and already knew who it was from. She looked around to see if anyone was here or just leaving who she would recongnise. She quickly and violently opened it. She read it and started to breath fast and heavily trying to keep her calm, she fiercely opened the right hand side draw, put it in under other papers and slammed it shut. Hopefully she would forget about it.
When Timothy came in with his and her morning coffee she gave a kind warm smile as she took the coffee off him "Thanks...Timothy?"
"Yes, Ivy?"
"Did you see anyone in the classroom this morning?"
Timothy shook his head and shrugged "Sorry darling I didn't, why is something wrong?"
Ivy didn't answer at first, she looked down to the desk draw and then shook her head "No, everything is fine"
Please leave thoughts/reviews below. Who do you think the letters are from? Do you think Ivy should go all the way with Nate?
