So I don't know if anyone really cared too much, but I'm so sorry for those of you that do, I couldn't write anything during my first semester of university and have only been on my winter break for a week. I'm going to try and write a couple chapters during this break to make up for my disappearance.
I wake up in my childhood bed in my former room surrounded by Nathanial Archibald's things and the smell of waffles filling the air. Nate had insisted I sleep in my old room, even though I assured him Dan wouldn't mind me sleeping in his room. So Nate ended up taking the couch and I snuggled up in my old bed.
I expected to toss and turn before falling asleep, but my night with Nate really tired me out, and I didn't have time to think about the dream-like situation I had gotten myself in.
Nate the guy I always wished I could have was just outside the door and if the smell was a clue, he was making me waffles. I'm almost positive he looked at me differently than he ever did last night, but it doesn't even matter really, when he finds out about me and Chuck I'm sure he'll look at me like I'd never want to be looked at.
"Jenny, don't tell me you're not up yet?" Nate barges into my room, obviously not expecting what he saw. I not dreaming that Nate would walk in, and being right about the weather and air conditioning, am lying on my bed in my bra and thong.
"Jenny…I…" Nate moves his eyes up and down me, and then quickly moves them to anything worth looking at in the room. I quickly cover myself with a blanket.
"Ummm….I'm so sorry Nate…" I hate that I've made him feel so awkward.
"No, god I'm sorry, I obviously should have knocked, but I was just so excited for you to try the waffles I made." He bites his lip, he's never looked so cute, and I even think he may be blushing.
"Of course, I could smell them, I was actually about to get up and see what it was all about." I start to get up but he's still here, so I make a motion like I need a little privacy. He still doesn't get it.
"Ummm…in order to taste these waffles, I should probably get dressed, and unless you liked what you saw so much the first time, you might want to give me a little privacy." I throw a pillow at him. He obviously knows I'm joking.
"Will do, again sorry, but hurry up I don't want the waffles to be cold, I think they may be better than your fathers." He leaves, shutting the door. I throw on my pajamas and shove my hair into a messy on purpose bun, and walk into the kitchen.
"Oh Nathanial, will you never learn, no one's waffles are as good as my dad's." I sit down on a stool, to a perfect placemat with a plate full of waffles and a glass of orange juice with flowers in a vase nearby. If I were to read too much into this, I'd think he was trying to seduce me.
"Well let's just wait and see Ms. Humphrey." He has quite a confident look on his face, so I take a bite to prove him wrong.
"Oh my god Nate! They're amazing!" I can't believe how good they taste, first of all dad's waffles have always been better than everyone's, and second of all when did Nate learn how to cook, that's so sexy…I mean it's useful skill.
"I told you." Now he just stands there with such a smug look on his face, I really want to wipe if off. But the only thing I can think of doing, could be very bad for the both of us. I finish off my waffles, and pick up my plate and glass.
"I have to admit you were right, how did you get better than my father?" I inch closer to him, seeing if that'll make him less arrogant. His stance weakens slightly and I can feel my hopes rising.
"I've made Dan waffles just about every day since I moved in here, my way of saying thank-you I guess…" I put my things in the sink and stand as close as I can without touching him, and I bite my lip. He takes a deeper breath. "And you know what they say…" I move even a little closer, still managing not to touch him, but definitely noticing the way his body is responding to this.
"What do they say Nathanial?" I slightly whisper.
"I don't remember…" The smug look is off his face, and I can stop now, but being this close to him has got my heart racing so fast, I can't be accountable for my actions.
I stand up on my tip toes and put my hands on his shoulders, feeling his strength. He must know what I'm doing but there seems to be no hesitation, he puts his hands on the small of my back, and then takes one and brushes a strand of hair away from my face. I can't believe Nate is looking at me like this, not after what I've done, but here we are and who am I to tell him what to feel.
"Jenny…is this insane?" I nod my head, but then tilt it and he comes crashing in, his lips against mine, and I've never felt a better feeling tingling down to my toes. I quickly bring my hands to his head and run my fingers through his hair, quickly getting tangled up in him. I can't believe how good it feels to be back here with Nate.
He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his middle feeling his excitement as he walks with us to my room and drops me on the bed. I giggle a little, and he smiles his charming smile, making me melt. He's quickly hovering over me, kissing my lips, then my shoulder, a little ways down my shirt, then back to my lips. I don't let him leave my lips for a little while, loving the feeling of his tongue against mine.
But I can't contain him much longer, his hands are rubbing along my sides and down my butt, soon falling upon my breasts, and making their way to my jeans. I can't decide if I'm ready for that yet after what happened with Chuck, so I flip us over and take off my shirt, noticing his obvious staring as opposed to earlier today. I let him explore with his hands while I rub myself against him noticing its effect, I don't know if I can contain myself much longer. I start to take off his shirt and he helps me as much as possible, and I explore his body with my hands and with kisses.
His hands make their way back to my jeans zipper and I decide that's what I want too, so I allow him to undo them and as I'm kicking out of mine, my hands race for his. I grab him by the belt buckle and grin rather confidently at him; I can see the look of longing in his eyes as I slowly start to undo it. He can't wait, so he grabs it himself and is out of his pants in two seconds flat. He then grins at me rather confidently, and pushes himself against me, I can't stop the inevitable from happening any longer. He's now back on top of me grabbing a condom from the drawer, and looking down at me for permission. I nod and bite my lip, only making him scramble faster.
"BEEEEEEEEEP!"
Nate jumps off me, and I sit up suddenly.
"Shit…" we both mumble to ourselves.
I smell smoke, and realize its coming from the kitchen. I put on his shirt and run into the kitchen, Nate follows quickly pulling on his pants.
"Nate you left the oven on." I run to the oven to turn it off.
"Well maybe if you didn't try and seduce me I would have remembered." He sounds a little angry as he grabs a towel from the bathroom and starts waving it at the smoke detector.
"Trying? Nate if that alarm went off a second later…" He gets the alarm to turn off.
"If nothing…it shouldn't have happened, and thanks to my bad memory it won't happen again." He goes to the bathroom slamming the door, and I sit on the couch confused and upset. What just happened and why if it was so wrong, did it feel so right?
