A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND!
Hey guys!
I told you I'd update soon! (: So here it is!
Hope you like it!
Nobody's POV
Nat was slightly shocked. Did she really just asking him to be her boyfriend? Or had he imagined that again?
"I'll take that as a no…?"
"No, no, no," He said, shaking himself out of his thoughts.
She looked disappointed.
"I mean, yes, I want to be your boyfriend. I will be your boyfriend," He said quickly.
"Really?"
He smiled. "Of course. You're my best friend, and I care about you."
She smiled and hugged him. "I care about you too."
"Can I ask you something Rosie?"
She nodded, pulling away.
"I know you don't trust your dad yet, and I understand that. But would you go back and live with him, if you had to choose?"
"Are you saying you want me to go back?"
"No! No, no, no of course not. But I was just…curious."
She sat in thought for a few seconds. Could she? Yes. Should she? Maybe. Would she? She didn't know. He was her father, and he did apologize…No. What was she saying? He let his friends take advantage of her, he slapped her, he screamed at her. Did he mean it? She wasn't sure. But one thing was for sure, the second and third time he was drunk, he wasn't that way by mistake. He was doing it knowingly. "I'm afraid to. What if he gets drunk again? And invites his friends back over? What if their drunk? What if that same guy remembers what he said…" Rosalina trailed off.
"Don't think about that, Rosie. There are a million 'what if's' in this situation. You'll just scare yourself if you keep thinking about them. Just relax. You're safe here," Nat said, holding her by her shoulders.
"I know…but what if…" She trailed off again, as she noticed the look he was giving her. Rosalina sighed. "You're right. But what else am I supposed to think about?"
"The fact that it's summer vacation and you just came back from a tour."
"Yes, a tour that I went on to get away from my almost alcoholic dad."
"Rosalina, seriously. I know it's hard to stop thinking about it. Honestly, I get it. But you need to try to stop, because I'm worried about you. Don't let it control you, okay? Don't let him control you."
Rosalina took a deep breath. "You're right, you're…definitely right. It's summer, we're together now, and…we have the guys."
Nat nodded. "We also have Kristina, who I'm pretty sure is dying to talk to you."
"Right…I should probably call her, shouldn't I?"
"You could," He said. "But you don't have to tell her anything you don't want to. Just tell her what you're comfortable with."
She nodded. "I know, thanks."
He got up and walked out of the bedroom and cautiously walked into the living room. "Mr. Tai is gone right?"
Alex got up from the couch. "Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't be out here would I?"
"True," Nat said, walking into the kitchen.
"Is Rosalina okay?"
"Yeah, she's calling Kristina right now though."
Alex followed his brother into the kitchen. "Oh…"
"Yeah."
"Are you okay, dude?" He asked, looking at his brother curiously.
"Yeah, why?"
"Well…for starters, you're pouring juice into a bowl of NBB cereal," Alex said, pointing at Nat's hand.
"Oh," Nat said, quickly pulling the juice away from the bowl. He put the juice back into the fridge. "I'm…fine." He dumped out the cereal into the garbage and put the bowl into the sink.
"You're obviously not 'fine' if you just did that. What's up, bro?" He asked, hopping up on the counter.
"Rosalina asked me out," Nat blurted out.
His little brother's eyes widened. "What'd you say?"
"Of course I said yes! I've been waiting for that question to come up since I was nine. I wasn't about to toss it aside."
"So then why are you so out of it?"
"I don't know…I'm just nervous, you know? Like…anything could happen."
"Like what?"
"What if I say or do something wrong?"
Right when Alex was about to respond, Rosalina's voice interrupted him. "Hey guys."
The younger Wolff brother hopped off the counter and turned to his brother. "She'll love you no matter what you do, trust me."
"Thanks Alex."
Alex walked out of the kitchen and ran upstairs.
"What were you guys talking about?" Rosalina asked.
"It's nothing, I was just asking Alex for advice on something."
She nodded. "I called Kristina."
"That's great. What'd she say?"
"She said she understood…and that we should have a girls' day."
"You should do it. You deserve one. I mean, you spent a month and a half with me and Alex. And you spend all your time either at school, with the guys and I at the studio or at home with your dad," Nat said, but stopped as he realized what he said.
Rosalina didn't seem to notice anything. "But I don't know…"
"What's wrong? It's Kristina. She's not going to hurt you. She's one of your best friends."
"I know that, but what if when we're shopping or something, my dad's there or one of his friends is there? What if they try something?"
Nat sighed. What could he do? He knew Rosalina didn't tell Kristina everything because she wasn't comfortable with it yet. But how could he warn Kristina about Rosalina's fear, if she didn't even know why? "Just tell Kristina that you can go. It'll be fine. And if worse comes to worse, Kristina's from the Bronx. She can kick a guy's butt any day of the week," He joked, then added. "I promise you. Nothing will go wrong. You deserve to go out and do this. Maybe next weekend we can have a band day, and Kristina can hang out with us, okay? It'll be fine."
She nodded, even though he could tell she still wasn't too fond of the idea. "Okay. Thanks Nat." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek.
"You're welcome." He watched her walk out of the kitchen and as soon as she did, he pulled out his phone and called Kristina.
"Hello?" came the voice of the band's ex-bassist.
"Kristina? It's Nat. I need to talk to you."
"What's up, Nat?"
"Rosalina told me about that girls' day thing."
"Oh yeah…I thought it'd be cool you know. For her to get her mind off of things."
"I know, and I totally agree with you. But…just be careful, okay? She's not too excited about it. I mean, she wants to hang out with you but she's just…nervous."
"I get it, Nat. Don't worry. Everything will be cool."
"Thanks Kristina. I just thought I should tell you. But thanks for helping Rosalina. It means a lot to me."
"Of course, anything for Rosalina, right?"
"Yeah, thanks. I'll talk to you later."
"Okay. Bye Nat."
Nat hung up the phone, and put it back into his pocket. He walked into his and Alex's bedroom. "Hey. So are you going to hang out with Kristina?" He asked Rosalina.
"Yeah, tomorrow we're going."
"That's great. It'll be fun, I'm sure."
"Yeah, loads of fun," She said, sitting down on Alex's bed.
He sat next to her. "You don't sound too excited."
"Well…I want to hang out with her. But…I'm just nervous about it."
"I know. I wish you didn't feel this way either. But I can tell you one thing is for sure, you'll have a good time. Just remember that you get what you get what you put into it. So if you go with a good attitude, you'll come out with a good attitude."
She nodded, then looked up at him. "Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?"
Nat laughed. "He's still here, he's just…smarter."
"That's not possible," She said. "He hasn't been in school in over a month."
"Maybe he remembers things without school. You know, like song lyrics, how to play instruments and win the hearts of billions of girls across the world."
Rosalina elbowed him in the side. "He better watch himself. He may need one of those girls as his new girlfriend if he keeps this up," She joked.
"I know for a fact, that he only wants one girl in his life."
"Oh really? Who's that?"
He smiled at her. "I think you can tell."
She leaned in and kissed him.
He pulled back. "Don't worry, Rosie. I've said it when I was nine, and I'll say it now. You're my only love. My only never ending love, okay?"
Rosalina smiled. "Thanks Nat."
A/N-I suck at endings. Like seriously.
