A/N: Okay I should be writing something else right now but as you must have figure out by now, I'm not good at staying focus on just one thing!
This one is rated T.
Love You.
Sophie slowly went down the stairs still feeling a bit sleepy. She had just woken up and was now curious to see where her bed companion had gone. The bed side next to hers had been empty so had been the bathroom. She hoped to find Nate in the kitchen, hopefully making breakfast but that too was empty. There was only a note on the kitchen counter. She picked it up to read it.
Soph,
Went to buy groceries, we're out of milk.
There's a fresh pot of coffee.
See you later, Nate
Sophie smiled, thankful that at least this time he had left a note. He had this awful habit to just leave in the morning and she would wake up to an empty apartment and with Nate's track record that wasn't very reassuring. She then remembered that she needed something too. She got her phone from her bag and called Nate.
"What?" he answered a bit harshly.
" Well, good morning to you too." She replied a bit taken back.
"Oh Sophie, sorry. I didn't check the number. Hardison has already called twice this morning. Something about a game he wants me to buy for him and I can't find it anywhere. Really, he needs to grow up!" he replied frustrated.
"Oh, poor baby" she mocked him smiling.
"Did you need something?"
"Maybe I just wanted to hear the sound of your voice." She kept teasing him. "You know I don't really like to wake up alone, is it so difficult for you not to wake up at dawn?"
"I was hoping to come back before you got up and surprise you with breakfast in bed." He answered sheepishly . "My plan didn't really worked."
"Having a bad morning, aren't you? Well, I was hoping to catch you still had the supermarket. I need you to get me some tampons."
"You want me to buy what?" he asked shocked.
"Tampons, Nate! It's not a bad word. It's something that I thankfully need because we are not really prepared to have a baby around."
The man just sighed, he really thought that since he was divorced the days of buying embarrassed women products had finished. This is what happens when you get involved with a woman again. "Something in particular or is anything fine?"
"Anything is fine… oh, I need my shampoo too. The one I have got here is nearly finished. You know which one, the one you like best."
"The jasmine one?"
"Yes," she smirked. "I'll make it up to you. I'm going back to bed so you can still bring me breakfast" then she lowered her voice and added seductively. "I might be naked too."
Nate groaned. "Now you are just messing with me"
"No, I'm hoping that is will make you go faster." Her voice laughing.
"Okay, I have to go now. See you in a bit. Love you" and he hang up.
Sophie was staring at her phone in shock: did she hear him right? Oh, that man was so frustrating. Of course the first time he told her he loved her had to be so casual. What was she supposed do now? Act like nothing happened? Forget about it? Say it back?
She went back upstairs wondering what to do. This was Nate she was talking about, their relationship was still confused. Maybe he didn't even realize saying it. They were having a domestic conversation, so he might have say it out of habit subconsciously thinking she was Maggie.
Twenty minutes later she heard the front door open. "It's me!" shouted Nate. She heard him going to the kitchen and putting the things away. Then fifteen minutes later he was up the stairs with a tray in his hands and a plastic back hanging from a finger.
He lay the tray on her knees and threw the bag on the chair under the window sill.
"Those are your things. Please don't ask me to buy tampons anymore. There was a weird woman eyeing me strangely."
"She was probably checking you out and was going to hit on you" she took a piece of orange from her fruit salad.
Nate took a piece of toast and spread jam on it. "What?"
"Nothing Nate. You're a man, you wouldn't understand."
They ate in silence and Nate occasionally gave her small glances. It was strange for her to be so quiet during breakfast. "Is everything okay?" He finally asked.
"Uhh… what?" she asked distractedly.
"I've asked if everything was okay. You're never this quiet during breakfast."
Sophie put her spoon down and to a deep breath. "Do you remember what you say to me earlier?"
Nate looked at her confused. "You'll have to be a bit more specific, Sophie"
"On the phone? You told me see you in a bit and then you told me you love me."
Nate was still confused. "Okay…?
"Nate, that's it!" she replied frustrated.
"Shouldn't I have said that?" he wondered.
"That's not the point. It's the first time you told me you loved me and you just made it sound so... casual. Did you even realize you'd said?"
"Of course I did. I don't just randomly tell people I love them!"
" Okay… so now what?" now she didn't know how to react to that.
"I don't know why you're making such a big deal of it. It felt right so I said it. We're not teenagers anymore. What? You thought I've been in a relationship with for nearly seven months now without feeling anything?"
She puffed frustrated. "No, but I've always imaged it as something more romantic, with a certain atmosphere…" she trailed.
Nate chuckled. "That only happens in movies and books"
"Yes, well I apologize for being a romantic person." She replied more angrily now. "and by the way; I love you too!"
"Okay, glad we got that settled!" he exclaimed.
They kept eating in silence.
"You want to have sex now, don't you?" Nate broke the silence.
"God, yes." She moaned back and she quickly put the tray on the floor before turning around and attacking his lips with hers.
A/N: Okay, so that's it. I imagined that the first they told they loved each other it would have been casually in a conversation. And I've always wanted to write a scene where Sophie asked Nate to buy something embarrassing for her, and what's more embarrassing for a man? I hope you've like it!
