"Are you sure it's okay for me to come on this trip?" I asked Nathan as we packed his mom's car up with bags and other things we'll be needing.

"Of course. She likes you. She wants to get to know you better." Nathan said as he placed the poles in the trunk.

It's already been a month since me and Nathan confessed our love to each other and our feelings for each other seemed like they were growing stronger everyday. At least for me it has. Now that we're on a four day holiday break from school, Nathan's mom decided to have their annual family camping trip that they go on every year and Nathan invited me to come so I can meet the rest of his family.

"So, who else is supposed to be coming?" I asked.

"My mom's friend and her son. They came on the camping trip with us last year." He explained as he finished packing up the car.

"I see." I wasn't really worried about anything. I just assumed that Nathan and his mom's friend's son were good friends even though Nathan never talked about him to me.

"So, where does her son go to school at?"

"All the way on the other side of town. It's the reason why I never really hang out with him at all and the only time I do get to see him is when my mom invites them over for holiday dinners or camping trips."

I nodded. "Are you two good friends?" I asked, innocently.

Nathan slightly smirked as he looked at me.

"Why? Jealous that there's another boy in my life?"

I blinked my eyes and shook my head.

"Of course not. I was just curious. Besides, why would I be jealous and you just said you two barely see each other?"

Nathan shrugged as he leaned up against the car and shoved his hands into his pants pocket. I looked Nathan over. He was dressed for camping. Black timberland boots, blue jean pants and a black sweater. It has been getting a little chilly out as of late since it's already November. As for what I'm wearing, I wasn't even sure what you would wear when you go camping, but luckily Nathan came over early and helped me pick something out so I would be comfortable, but careful since we'll be all around trees and dirt. Me and Nathan were practically matching. I was also wearing timberland boots (That Nathan bought for me.), blue jean pants and a black sweater. Except my sweater has a picture of a deer standing with a bunch of trees in the back (Don't ask. Nathan bought that for me too.).

I looked around the streets, wondering when Nathan's mom's friend and her son would be coming then I looked back at Nathan.

"When are they coming?"

"They're meeting us at the campsite because they have to get a few stuff."

I nodded as I stood next to Nathan and waited for his mom to come out.

"Alright you two, let's get on the road. I made snacks for everybody." Nathan's mom said as she walked out of the house and locked the door. Nathan's cousin walked over to the passenger side of the car and handed Nathan the snack bag. I had already met Nathan's cousin when I came over here. She seemed like a pretty cool girl that knows a thing or two about camping. Once Nathan's mom finished locking up the house, she walked over to the car and opened up the car doors.

I quickly got into the back seat of the car with Nathan coming in right behind me. For some reason, I felt a little relieved that we were taking Nathan's mom's car and not Nathan's car because it would've been too awkward to sit in the same spot where me and Nathan had sex on Homecoming night.

"Get comfortable cause it's gonna be a long ride to the campsite." Nathan whispered to me.

I nodded, feeling ready for this long road trip.

...

"Wakey. Wakey, boys. We're here." Nathan's mom said to us.

I opened up my eyes and slowly looked around to see that the car has stopped and Nathan's mom and his cousin started pulling stuff out of the car. I gently rubbed my sleepy eyes then looked at Nathan to see him passed out on my shoulder. I smiled softly then shook him.

"Nathan, wake up." I whispered.

"Hunh..."

"Wake up before I kiss you." I threaten.

Then, Nathan smiled, still having his eyes closed.

"That's not really a threat you know."

I sighed. "I know..."

I unbuckled myself and slipped right out of the car then watched as Nathan fell onto the seat and woke right up. I chuckled as I watched him sit up then glare at me.

"Oh. You're getting it now!" He said then quickly unbuckled himself and got out of the car.

I started walking backwards, trying to avoid Nathan as he ran up to me and grabbed me.

"Hey, stop playing around and help us!" Nathan's cousin shouted.

Nathan wrapped his arms around me and stuck his tongue out at his cousin.

"You're just jealous that we're in love~"

Nathan's cousin smirked and rolled her eyes. "I already have a boyfriend that I've been dating for two years, asshole. Now help." She ordered then walked away.

Two years? She's been dating her boyfriend for two years? That's a long time. I looked up at Nathan and wondered if we would last for two years too. I hope so.

Nathan sighed. "Don't worry about her. Here, come help me pull the tents out of the car so we can set them up."

I nodded then started helping Nathan set up the tents on the campground. I noticed that the campground was pretty spacious and it already had a fire pit and a place to boil water and cook food. I also noticed that there was a nice creek just a few feet away and a walking trail heading up into the woods.

"It's nice huh?" Nathan suddenly asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yeah..." I said as I went back to setting up the tent.

"Ah~ There." He said as we both finished setting up the tents for everybody while Nathan's mom and his cousin brought out our bags and food.

That's when a car suddenly pulled up and I figured it was Nathan's mom's friend and her son.

"Hey! Hey! hey!" Nathan's mom's friend said as she got out of the car.

"Hey, you." Nathan's mom greeted as she hugged her friend.

"Hey, Alex. How've you been?" She greeted her friend's son.

"I've been good, ma'am. You?"

"Good. Why don't you go join everybody else?" She suggested and the boy called Alex nodded then started walking over to us.

"Hey, Alex. Good you could make it." Nathan's cousin said.

"Hey, Ashley." He said then he walked up to me and Nathan and smiled.

"Hey, Nathan." He greeted with a smile

"Hey, Alex." Nathan greeted back with a smile too.

I wasn't sure why, but for some reason, Alex's greet seemed more flirtatious. Maybe I'm just imagining things.

"So, who's your friend?" He asked as he looked at me.

Nathan wrapped his arm around me and grinned.

"This is my boyfriend, Simon. I invited him on this trip so he could get out more." He teased.

I glared at Nathan. "You know, you're full of it."

Nathan smirked. "I know, but that's why you love me~" He said then he kissed my cheek.

"Wanna help us set up?" Nathan asked Alex and Alex nodded.

"Sure."

I watched as Alex helped Nathan set up the camp. Alex looked pretty cute. He was almost as tall as Nathan and had spikey black hair with red tint. I wasn't jealous, though since I knew that they were friends and they don't really see each other all that much anyways, but it did kinda make me wonder how their camping trip went last year. Maybe I'll ask Nathan about that later without sounding jealous.
