He checked her out from top to bottom. She was gorgeous in her mini skirt and platinum heels. She was just what he loved the most, a barely legal half-drunk girl. She looked at him flirtatiously through her long eyelashes, and teased him with a little kiss that soon turned into tongue and cheek action. He followed her into the bedroom, where they began to furiously make out.

She pulled away momentarily and looked up into his emerald eyes. "I think I love you" she slurred. She staggered on top of him almost jabbing him in the eye with her metallic ring.

Suddenly Nathan tensed up, his mind flashing back to the night club, where his brother and him were choosing which girl to dance with. He remembered walking to her with a crooked grin, watching as she gliding her tipsy body from side to side. It had confused him when she started telling him about her insecurities. How he could have any girl in this club so why would her want her? He couldn't believe that she thought she wasn't pretty enough for him.

And then she said it.

She opened her mouth and said " I think I fooking love you sometimes". It had caught his breath in his throat. Nathan felt his chest tightening as he stared down at Kelly, this Chav girl who was so unlike any girl he had ever met.

He didn't know what to believe. He didn't know if it was just the pills talking or she really meant it. Even weeks later, when Kelly pretended not to remember saying that, he never forgot it. It was always in the back of his mind. He didn't care that she just wanted to be "mates". He was in love with her. This much he was sure of. He was also sure he would never stop loving her. He wanted to believe that she felt the same way but just wasn't ready to admit it. And he'd wait for her. As long as it took. He'd be there for her, helping her get over her insecurities and showing her that she was the most beautiful girl in the entire world to him.

He snapped back to the present, looking down at the pretty girl beneath him. he sighed and replied "I don't think you love me. Not really. But you're a great shag, baby!" He kissed her with his eyes closed, picturing a certain Chav in her place.

Maybe someday it will be real, he thought.
