Make Her See

Chapter 3

Nathan's POV

This year will be my last year in college, Ryan and I are both doing business degrees to take over our family businesses. I like working along side my parents and grateful to them for being great businesspeople and parents at the same time. Some of my parents’ associates ignore their children and it is sad really. I want the type of relationship my parents have. They make an effort to be around each other most of the time even if work does get in the way sometimes. They work together and always travel to business trips together, they still have date night once a week, they still make a fuss about each holiday and their birthdays and they say that is how they keep the spark alive in their relationship and best of all they always prioritise us all the time.

My name is Nathan Parker and I just turned 21. I live with my mom, dad and 7 years old little sister, Alexa. I just left home to go back to my apartment because my parents are billionaire, I got an apartment when I went to college as a present from my parents because my parents knew I do not like people in my personal space and being in a frat house would mean I’m around people all the time and my best friend Ryan also got one in the same building which is really cool.Our apartments are the only two on the whole floor, so we plan on using them until we get married and decide whether to stay or buy a house. Which will be a decision I’ll make with my future wife.

I get to the underground parking lot and park my car. When I get to my apartment the first, I need is a hot shower to wash away the tension in my body and maybe grab pizza with Ryan. Ryan and I have been friends since 6th grade we are basically close as brothers and I would not have asked for a better brother.

My phone rings as I was drying my hair with a towel, it’s Ryan “Hey Ryan. You called at the right time Wassup?” I ask, He chuckles “Hey bro, just wanted to know what to get you. I’m at PizzaHut”,” Get me a chicken and mushroom pizza, thanks” I say. “Cool, see you in 20 minutes” He says and drops the phone.

20 minutes later I heard a knock on my door. I open the door and give Ryan bro hug “Hey man, how were your holidays?” I asked him, taking my box of pizza waiting for him to sit down and get comfortable “It was great man, we visited my cousins in Canada. How were your holidays?” he asks “I spent them doing an internship with my dad. Have you spoken to Skylar today? Wasn’t she moving in today?” I throw the questions at him. His face changes to the biggest grin he gets whenever I mention Skylar. “I did talk to her while I was getting the pizza, she’s settled in and has even made a friend. She says Monica is great and she’s glad she lives in the same building as her. I’ve missed my girlfriend dude, I’m just glad she’s in the same college as us or I would have lost my mind” he answers. I chuckle “Well you’ll see her Monday so cool it” he throws a pill at me aiming for my head and we laugh.

He leaves my apartment and I decide to go to sleep.
