Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long, not going to lie I lost motivation for this story last week. Idk what it was but I just did not think it was worth updating. Anyways here's chapter 16 enjoy~

Chapter 16: Interruptions

Katara's POV

I mean it's only been around two months since we've actually met…there's no way. I bit my lip before just decided to put my big girl pants on and look him in the eyes. The warm honey hued orbs stared down at me. His face showed no amusement, no seriousness, just pure and devoted adoration and I melted in his heated gaze.

"Katara I think I'm in love with you."

"Zuko…" he smiled and stroked the side of my face. I frowned.

"Don't worry you don't have to say it back, don't look so upset I know." I hated myself for not saying it back right away but I didn't know! I just met him, just agreed to date him, did that mean I was in love with him? I raged internally trying not to show it on my face. I opened my mouth to apologize when fireworks exploded in the sky with beautiful reds, blues, and every color in the rainbow. They were mesmerizing.

"Thank you for taking me out." I whispered. He chuckled bringing a hand through his dark locks.

"I mean it's my job, can't have our last date end without a bang." I giggled.

"Nice pun," he grinned standing up.

"Come on, I'll take you home." I took his outstretched hand and let him walk me back to his car. The ride home was fun and comfortable. I was worried that things would be awkward after his confession but it actually helped loosen the air. He walked me to my door like the gentleman he was.

"Really Zuko thank you…tonight was great." He leaned against the door frame on his left side grinning. His hands in his pockets and bangs covering his eyes and blush.

"No problem, like I said" his warm gold iris stared me down. I felt the arousal in the pit of my stomach. "I wanted to make it memorable for you." I brushed the bangs from his eyes and cupped his cheek in the palm of my hand. His eyes closed leaning his head into my hand more.

"Do you want to come in for a bit?" He chuckled understanding the last word of my sentence. His eyes opened slightly lust and want turning the bright gold to a darker more seductive shade. I squirmed and dropped my hand. Instead I unlocked my door and motioned for him to come inside.

"Last time I "stayed" for awhile Katara thing's got a little heated." I blushed placing my bag on the counter.

"Well I don't want to get your hopes up Zuko, we can't go that far…I'm not ready." He sat down on a bar stool and looked over to the kitchen area where I was beginning to make tea.

"Never said we had to. Though I don't want to lie about wanting you. Because I do, but I'm willing to wait." I chuckled.

"Well aren't you the gentleman." He grinned leaning on the counter.

"Well as I've said previously you're the first to make me act this way. Though now that you're mine I can't promise that my true colors won't come out." I arched an eyebrow placing the tea bags into their mugs.

"The fact that you're a bad boy?" He shrugged pushing his bangs back.

"Katara I'm very possessive, I will want to flaunt you, keep you, claim you and I will be jealous over any man that looks at you." I smirked, grabbing the kettle and pouring the hot water into the mugs and stirring them.

"What about the women?" I caught his eyes darken in furry.

"Even women, I'm not blind Katara I saw the people that were checking you out at the fair. It took a lot out of me to be on my best behaviour." I passed him a cup and beckoned him to sit with me on my couch. I sat somewhat in the middle while he lounged in the corner, his arm resting on the arm. I crossed my legs and blew on the tea cooling it slightly before taking a sip.

"You know people check you out too right? Women and men. There were a few young boys looking at you. Probably wondering if you swung both ways." I chuckled thinking back to the few young boys I had caught looking at my date. Zuko took my tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of us before pulling me against him. My hands on his chest pushing him up against the arm on the sofa. I blushed feeling the heat from his body and the muscles contract under the fabric of his shirt. I was practically on top of him.

"At this moment I only swing one way…yours." I gasped, slapping his chest in embarrassment. My hair fell over my face, hiding the growing blush in my features. Zuko pushed me on my back, his body hovering over mine, knees in between my legs. "I'm serious Kat, I want you. I'm in love with you, and I want you to want me too. Even if it takes forever."

I looked up at his face still incredibly embarrassed by his forwardness. Even my ex wasn't this forward, no he was but this was different. I wanted to hit myself for comparing him with Jet. Zuko was ten time the man he ever would be. I laced my arms around his neck and pulled myself to meet him for a kiss, barely touching lips together before he fell back with me.

His body was pressed closely to mine, I could feel his arousal on my stomach and his breath quicken along with mine. "Then don't let me go…" I didn't have to speak too loud for him to hear, and in an instant his lips fell upon mine. The simple gesture turned heated as his tongue grazed against my bottom lip, begging for entrance. I looked at him with lidded eyes, seeing the dark gold returning. I parted my lips slightly, acknowledging his need and he slipped in. Touching, grazing…dancing in my mouth, tasting as much as he could. Our tongues battled while his hands that were supporting his weight dropped and moved to my waist. Stroking and lifting up the hem of my shirt. I gasped feeling his cold hands on my taunt stomach. He chuckled against my lips and dragged them down my chin to my neck, nipping and sucking as he went down. My hands left their place around his neck and moved to his upper back, clawing as they traveled down.

He groaned thrusting his hips into mine, his arousal much more noticeable than before. I rose my legs up slightly more, bending them so his hips fell to my core. I felt him adjust and move against me, hands continuously sliding up and down my sides tickling my skin. I tossed my head to the side feeling overly sensitive to his touches and bit my lip. "Damnit…you vixen." I grinned and maneuvered our bodies so that I could touch him instead. My legs resting beside his as I straddled him, my own hands traveling down his chest and lips dancing along his skin. He groaned when I nipped at the space under his ear, his hips rotating against mine. I could feel my core dampen in need.

"Katara….stop." He said with a strained voice. I looked up and noticed him breathing heavily, aroused by the few ministrations. I smirked.

"Sensitive spot?"

"Very." I smirked and climbed off knowing that he was on the edge. Just in time my phone rang and I looked to Zuko who had his eyes closed, struggling to calm down. I shook my head and answered…wishing I hadn't.

"Hello?"

"Katara! Hey what's been up with you lately, mum and dad are worried about you." I sighed it was Sokka.

"Sorry Sokka I've been caught up with work and school, honestly there just isn't enough time in the day." His light chuckle was heard through the phone. I watched Zuko leave to the bathroom, I brought a hand to my face in embarrassment.

"Totally cool. Hey you and Zuko should come see a movie with Suki and I, it can be like a double date!" I rolled my eyes and leaned back against the sofa.

"Whoa Sokka slow down I have to ask him first, he hasn't even met our parents. You know they would flip shit if I kept them in the dark for much longer." Sokka started bickering in the background with someone else. I sighed waiting for him to finally come back on the phone. after a few minutes he came back.

"Hey Katara?" I crossed my legs noticing Zuko come back in the room and sit beside me, relief apparent on his face. I smiled and placed a hand delicately on his lap. He smiled pulling me into his chest to cuddle on the couch, he remained quiet while I was on the phone.

"What's up Sokka?"

"Yeah uuhm, don't kill me but dad overhead me talking about Zuko…he wants you to call him." I cursed in my head.

"SOKKA! You idiot!"

"I'm sorry! I didn't know he was still here! He's pretty pissed Katara I'm so sorry!" I groaned feeling Zuko's hands rubbing my shoulders comfortably. I took a deep breath relaxing in his arms.

"I forgive you Sokka but you owe us! Zuko might want compensation for you putting him through this shit. God he's going to be so mad!" Zuko sat up giving me a worried look. I was ready to kill Sokka.

"I know I know! I'll pay for the meal! Please Katara I didn't mean to!" I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose trying to ease the oncoming headache from my brothers stupidity.

"Sokka it's fine. Look I need to talk to Zuko and call dad."

"Okay..I'm sorry. Good luck baby sis!" I hung up and looked to Zuko, worry was probably etched onto my face. He held my hand.

"Is everything okay?" I flopped down into his chest again not wanting to face my father.

"No, Sokka was stupid and mentioned you in front of my dad." He looked at me with confusion.

"What's wrong with that." I sighed and clutched onto him, his hands running through my hair soothingly.

"He hates me dating without bringing them home first. Mostly because of my ex…" he shifted and looked down into my eyes.

"Ex? I didn't know…" I smiled kissing him lightly.

"Don't worry he was a long time ago. I'll tell you about it sometime but not right now. Long story short he was an asshole and I dumped him. I need to take to my dad first though then we can talk about him." I speed dialed my father, waiting for him to answer. After the second ring he answered.

"Katara."

"Yes daddy." He remained silent which was a telltale sign he was pissed.

"Bring him over for dinner tomorrow." I was ready to argue but he had hung up with me as quickly as possible. I groaned throwing my phone across the room.

"Whoa Kat what's wrong!?" I sighed gripping his hand tighter.

"Don't hate me Zuko but you have to come to dinner at my family's house tomorrow night. I won't butter this up for you but it will suck. My dad will find everything wrong about you that he can and will do anything to drive you away. My mum is usually on my side but I didn't tell them I was dating you so they are slightly more than pissed….furious maybe?" Zuko started to laugh before finally giving up and letting it all out I looked at him with anger that he was mocking me! It was going to suck, I knew my father And I knew he was going to try and beat Zuko's ass.

"Kat if a dinner was enough to drive me away from you I would've been out the door. I'm actually quite looking forward to it. If your dad is harsh it means he loves you, don't worry you survived the dinner with my parents and after, I can handle yours." I shook my head in disbelief.

"Trust me Zuko, you don't even know what you're about to walk into." He chuckled pulling me back into his lap and cuddling me on the sofa.

"If it's with you then I'd gladly comply." I giggled and buried my head into the crook of his neck.

"Good because I like you here."

"I do too…now about that ex." I sighed.

"Let's get through dinner first..then my ex." He took a deep breath before letting it out slowly and relaxing on the sofa. His arms wrapped around my waist securely as we fell asleep in our clothes.

Yeah idk I like it but I just feel like this story isnt good. Maybe I'm being paranoid idk...Do you guys still like it?

I'll be uploading FWDL tomorrow, im too tired to write that chapter.

Quick response to my lovelies,

PrincesaDeFuego- yeah I noticed a lot of fanfics on here like to make the Zuko and Mai thing a problem for Katara but I think she would be the stubborn kind who would actually stand her ground and fight back rather than letting it ruin the relationship. I also don't see Zuko as the type of guy to cheat with his honor and such. I have a great plot for this story though. I just hope people are actually enjoying reading it. I'm not sure if I'm feeling writers block or just unmotivated due to a lack of reader opinions. Im not sure if this is really any good.

Thank you to Megugoesnomnom for all of those faves and follows! I hope to hear from you soon.

I could be going through something but I dont know what to define it as...writers depression? Idk. Do you guys want me to continue this fic? I dont know but last week I just really felt like it wasnt worth it and I couldn't bring myself to write it and post. I love writing this and I would probably finish the fic but not upload it to here. Just let me know guys because if it's not worth it then im taking it down.

Review and tell me how it is so far and suggestions. Please no Flames.

Ciao
