Heartbreak Story

Chapter 24: Take things slowly

NATHAN'S P.O.V

I watched as Anna fell asleep on my arms. Her hot breath brushed my chest, I couldn't help but smiled at the beautiful view. She is honestly so stunning. I watched as she breathed in and out, making soft snores. I leaned in to kiss her forehead and just kept watching her sleep. I couldn't even sleep because of what had happened earlier.

I was jealous, of course I would be. She is my girlfriend after all, and I don't like to share what's mine. I don't blame her though, she meant to give that guy a quick hug. I was just scared. I was scared that she would leave me for that guy. I can't lose her, I don't want to lose her. She means everything to me, she makes me happy and she is the reason why I changed to be a better person. To be the 'old' Nathan. The happy Nathan before the break up with Ariana. I don't want to be heartbroken again. I don't want to face another painful break up.

My phone vibrated, filling in the silence. I took it from the nightstand to see a text from her.

From: her

Tell me if you have done your work

I sighed and typed in reply

To: her

Not yet, it's still too early for that.

I received a reply within 2 minutes.

From: her

I gave you 2 f*****g months, Sykes. You'd better do it soon or else you know what I'm gonna do!

This b***h.

To: her

Don't you dare! I'll try again, you need to be patient. And after this I'm done with you

From: her

I sighed loudly, this is so f****d up. I'm so f****d up. I will need to fix things before it gets worse. My head was pounding in pain, I closed my eyes trying to get some sleep. And I'm glad that I finally fell into a slumber sleep.

ANNA'S P.O.V

We were in the middle of the night, laying back down on the grass as we watched the stars above us. We intertwined our fingers together. I was there with my bestfriend. He was the greatest bestfriend I have ever had in my life. He was the first boy who sees my dark side, he was the first who sees my weakness. While other guys are busy flirting, he wanted to be my friend. He was different with other guys. He was.. special.

He was the only one who cares about me. He was the only one who takes care of me and stay with me in happiness and sadness. He was the only guy that I love most.. My bestfriend.

"Hey look at that moon, it's beautiful!" I pointed to the big moon in the sky.

"I prefer the stars" he said.

"Why?"

"Moon might be beautiful with its biggest shape coloring the sky, but it doesn't shine. Stars might be small but they are shining and coloring the night with their light" He smiled proudly.

I smiled at him. "Yeah, I think you are right, Ed"

We kept quite for a moment, enjoying the views until Edward spoke.

"I want to be your brightest star, Anna"

I looked up to see him, I honestly didn't understand the words he was just saying.

"I wanna be the one who makes you happy and show the world that I got the most beautiful star in my life" he smiled at me. "Anna, will you be my girlfriend?"

I sat up, very surprised. I love Edward more than bestfriend, and yes I have always imagined to be his girlfriend but I never thought he would feel the same about me.

"Yes Edward, I will" I smiled and hugged him.

"I love you, Anna. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me" he looked into my eyes.

"I love you too, Edward"

He rested his forehead onto mine whilst his eyes were fixed on me. I have always loved his light brown eyes, I fell in love with his eyes ever since we became bestfriends. He stared at my lips and leaned in slowly, then our lips finally met for the first time. It was my first ever kiss, and it felt amazing. I'm glad to share my first kiss with him. He kissed me gently, I pulled his neck closer to me.

We then pulled away, I giggled at him. He smiled and took me back to my home, intertwined our fingers as we were officially a couple. I was so happy. It was my first ever kiss. Edward was my first ever boyfriend. I love him. It was the best night of my life. It was the sweetest moment in my life and I wish I could just repeat it again.

"Babe, are you okay?"

I was woken up with a gentle shook on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see a worried looking Nathan. I rubbed my eyes to realize that they were wet in tears.

Was I really crying in my sleep?

"Are you okay? Did you have a nightmare? You were crying in your sleep, I thought I could just wake you up in case you had a nightmare" he said, wiping the rest of the tears on my cheeks.

I sat up. "I don't even know why I cried in my sleep, I didn't have a nightmare"

I didn't want Nathan to worry about my dream with Edward. He had been worrying enough. We have just started talking again after yesterday's event, I don't want to add more stress to him.

"Are you sure?"

I nodded. "I'm fine, Nathan. Don't worry about me"

He sighed. "Okay. If you wake up again from a nightmare, don't hesitate to wake me up, okay?"

I smiled. "Thanks, babe"

He smiled and leaned in to kiss me. I closed my eyes as I kissed him back, let him take over me. His kiss is all I needed right now. He brought his hands on my back as I ran mine around his morning hair. His tongue poked my lower lip for entrance and I let our tongues met before I pulled out mine and bit his lips softly. He moaned but kept kissing me.

Thing has escalated quickly where he pulled me back down on the bed, hovering over me as he pinned my hands down on the mattress. I don't know what he is doing but I'm not liking this. He ran his hand down my waist slowly to my sensitive area as he was about to undress me but I quickly stopped him and pulled away, finding myself breathless from the kiss.

"Nath, I-I'm not ready for this" I stared at the floor after seeing the disappointed look in his face.

As much as I want to do it, I can't do it. We have only been in a relationship less than a month, I don't want to rush things. I want to take things slowly before I regret something. My virginity is my pride, I don't want to lose it easily. I want to make sure I'm ready to lose it, but right now I'm not ready. At least not now.

"I'm sorry" I looked down in embarrassed. I felt bad for turning him down. Nathan probably wanted this so much.

He lift my chin up so I could look at his eyes. "It's okay, babe. I'm sorry for my action. I will wait until you are ready"

I smiled in grateful. "Thank you for understanding me"

He smiled. "It's fine. I love you Anna, remember that"

"I love you too, Nathan"

NATHAN'S P.O.V

I'm not entirely surprised that she would refuse to do it. It's too soon to do that anyway. She wanted to take things slowly and I respected her for that. It just proved that she has pride and dignity for her self. That made me have so much respect for her.

I watched as she headed to the bathroom, leaving me in the bed alone. I got up and made my way downstairs to the kitchen to make myself a cuppa. I found Max and Tom already awake.

"Hey guys" I greeted as I took the chair out and sat across them.

"Morning baby Nath!" they greeted. I rolled my eyes playfully and took the kettle and poured the tea into the cup.

It's Sunday and we don't have anything to do today. I was thinking about going out with Anna, showing her around the town as it's her first time to come here.

"I said, we're going shopping today! We have an upcoming gigs in 2 days and we need new cloths" Tom announced as he made a toast.

"Agreed with ya matey, we're going to the mall today" Max said with his terrible American accent, earning laughs from me and Tom. "I will beat yo ass both later" he rolled his eyes.

"Sorry brother!" I played with his ear.

"Well we should go get ready then. I'll tell the others to get ready" Tom said as he stood up and stormed out to tell the other lads and girls.

"And you, baby Nath, go have a quick shower. We don't want to wait an hour for your beauty spa" Max giggled and I hit his bald head playfully before taking my cuppa and headed back to mine and Anna's room.

I opened the door and my eyes widen to see Anna with only a towel around her body. God, she looked so sexy.

"Oi! Do you not know how to knock?!" she quickly covered her bare chest with her arms.

"It's my room as well" I shrugged and closed the door behind me.

I walked closer to her, she stepped back but I grabbed her shoulder to stop her.

"You are so beautiful" I said as I admired her beautiful body.

She blushed. "Thanks, but you need to wait outside. I need to get dressed"

"I will wait here" I smirked, which earning widen eyes from her.

"Nathaaaaan" she groaned.

"Okay okay I will go take a shower" I chuckled before taking my towel and headed to the bathroom.

We done shopping for about 3 hours and we decided to go to Starbucks. Who doesn't love Starbucks??

Siva, Nareesha, Carrie, Anna, and I sat on the couch whilst Tom, Max, Kelsey, and Jay went to order the drinks. I wrapped my arms around Anna as we just talked some random things. My phone suddenly vibrated to a text from her again.

From: her

Heard you are in LA. How dare you didn't tell me.

To: her

That's none of your business, and didn't I tell you again to not call or text me when I'm with her?!

Just then I got an instant reply.

From: her

Don't play games with me Sykes. You know I can do anything

I sighed and quickly replied.

To: her

Whatever

I shut down my phone and put it into my pocket.

"Who did you text to?" Anna looked up at me.

"Just my mom" I fake smiled. She just mouthed 'oh' and looked back at Nareesha.

I hate it when I had to lie to her, it makes me look like a jerk to her. She doesn't deserve this but I can't do anything, I have no choice.

Just then the lads came with our drinks. I immediately took mine and drank it, suddenly feeling so thirsty. We just talked a lot of things in Starbucks for like an hour before we decided to go home since we have an early meeting with Scooter tomorrow.

On our way back home, we were stuck at a traffic jam for 3 hours and ended up getting back home at 1 am. Anna fell asleep on my arms, she looked tired. Everyone seemed already tired so we said goodnight to each other and went to our own rooms.

I still have sleeping Anna in my arms as I carried her to our room. I watched as she's asleep. Her mouth was slightly opened which earned me a small chuckled. I kicked the door with my foot as I walked in and closed the door with my foot. I walked to the bed and placed her on the bed carefully. She stirred a bit but continued sleeping.

I placed our shopping bags on the floor before kicking off my shoes and took off my t-shirt into just a bare chest and my boxer. I brushed my teeth and came back to see a still sleeping Anna. She is still wearing her top and jeans. I don't want to wake her up but I don't want to let her sleeping with jeans either. I had no choice but changed her cloths.

I took her pajama from the wardrobe and sat on the bed beside her. I lift her top slowly, leaving her bare chest with her blue bra. I swallowed hard as I watched her body. She is not skinny, but not fat either. Her body is just perfect to me. I felt myself go hard but I quickly shook my head and put her pajama on. I did the same with her jeans. I tossed her cloths on the floor and laid beside her.

I stared at her beautiful features. She is still beautiful when she sleeps and I really love watching her sleep. She is perfect in her ways. I can't believe I did it to her. I love her so much but I had no choice. I just need to sort this problem real quick. I can't imagine to see her hurt. I don't want to hurt her but I had no choice. God why is this so hard?
