Just Good Friends?

Chapter 45 - Future plans

Joe.

Friday morning arrives, and me and Bex are really excited to see our Dad. Bex isn't in college today, she would only have track anyway, and her coach has realised that she may as well just leave Bex to her own training.

"Im only in till 10.30 Bex, so I'll see you soon. Joe and Harry are in all day, can I take your car?" Nate is taking a different course to me and Harry, so his timetable is a bit different.

"Yeah go for it, I don't need it. I've done a run, I'm off for a surf" she grabs her board and we all leave at the same time.

.....

Nate.

"Coach was really on our cases today boys. What got up his ass?" Harry complains as we all head in to the changing room after practise.

"Bad day, everyone gets them Harry, just suck it up and see what he has for us next week" I just want to get out of here. It's been a tough morning, and f*****g Zach has really got under my skin. He's a f*****g cocky bastard, and keeps making jibes all the time. Since he found out me and Bex are together, he won't let up on me. I think he thought he'd have a chance with her. I grab my bag and start to head out.

"Off to f**k the hot misses now is it Bowers?" Zach shouts after me. I turn around so fast, and have him pinned against the wall before he gets a chance to breath.

"Talk about her like that again, and I'll make damn f*****g sure you don't speak again, understood?" He's struggling to breath, as i have my arm up against his neck. Joe gently touches my arm and i let go. Zach falls to the floor.

"Go Nate, we'll take care of this. See you later" Joe says to me.

I nod and leave.

.......

Joe.

"You're f*****g lucky I was here Zach. Nate isn't one to f**k around with. Don't make that mistake again, I can't f*****g save you every time" I help Zach to his feet, and he looks at me.

"So the rumours that he took on guys with knives in a bar, it's not just a rumour? I saw the scar on his side, is that from the brawl?" Zach straightens himself up and starts getting changed.

"Not something we talk about dude. Just don't push him again ok" I grab my bag and Harry follows me out.

"f**k, thought we'd have some blood splattered up the walls then. You did good Joe" Harry bounces at my side.

"Yeah, didn't look good for Zack for a minute there did it! First time Nate has lost his cool composure for a while. I knew Zach was getting under his skin on the field, but i couldn't make out what he was saying. As usual though, Nate didn't rise to it, until Bex was mentioned. Big f*****g mistake where Zach is concerned" I make a mental note to keep an eye on the situation. Zach is a cocky little prick, and Nate wont stand for that s**t on the field, and certainly not about Bex.

......

Nate.

"Hey Nate, tough morning?" Bex pops her head around our connecting door, and sees me lying on my bed. I'd already taken a shower, and now I was lying down with just a towel around me.

"Come here beautiful, I need you" I move over a bit and tap the bed beside me. She only has a pair of pyjama shorts on with a crop top, and she looks so f*****g hot.

"How much do you need me?" She asks when she stands by the bed.

"So much. But I don't need those clothes on you, they can go" I say with a wink. She slowly removes her top, then her shorts, and stands there completely naked. She reaches down and unwraps the towel from me, and climbs on top of me. s*x is slow, passionate and f*****g amazing. Bex always makes me feel good, even without the s*x, i feel better with her just near me.

"Better hot stuff?" She asks when she lays in my arms.

"So much better. But we need to make ourselves decent, isn't your Dad arriving soon?" I don't want to move, but I respect Dennis Holden too much, I'd never keep him waiting.

......

We are sitting in the kitchen when the front door opens. I'm just finishing up an assignment that's due next Wednesday - I like to get things done out of the way early - and Bex just finished her business assignment.

"Hello you two, nice to see there is lots of work and no play going on here" Dennis jokes as he comes in.

'Dad! God its good to see you!" Bex jumps up and dives in to his arms.

"Dennis, good to see you. You know this little scene is just for your benefit right" i tease him. I stand and shake his hand.

......

"I wanted to sound you out on my business Nate. Now I know it's what you're studying here, and I wanted to see if you'd be interested in some experience in the field?" Me and Dennis are sitting out on the patio, at the table, with a couple of beers.

"What kind of experience? I didn't think you had an office here?" I look at him

"I don't... yet. But If you're interested, then I'd like to open one here, expand, and you could do some paid work experience?" He says.

"That really would be a fantastic opportunity Dennis. Thanks" I smile at him. "I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you about Bex and me. I really do love your daughter Dennis, and I honestly never thought anything would happen between us, I would never have come between her and her relationships, ever. I will always protect her, she comes before everything in my life. Your daughter, and your son come to that, I would lay down my life for them both" I look at him seriously. I've never had a conversation this serious with Dennis, but it had to be said.

"You're a good man Nate, I've always thought that. I loved Mike like my own son, but I feel the same about you too. You have both been a part of our family since my children were babies. I know you would always put them first." He smiles kindly "I will get things sorted my end to start up an office here, and I'll be in touch ok" we finish our beers and Bex joins us. She comes up behind me and snakes her arms around my neck. I turn my head up towards her and give her a quick kiss. I thought it might be a bit awkward infront of Dennis, but I love Bex so much, everything feels natural with her.

......

Bex.

I don't see much of Nate this weekend. I spend most of my time with Dad and Joe. I miss him. I miss just being with him. I can't believe how much I love him. He told me about my Dad's offer, on Friday night when we were in bed. We hardly ever sleep apart now, it feels too lonely. If I wake during the night in my own bed, and he's not there, I'll move in to his, and he'll do the same with me.

It's Sunday, and Dad has just left. I decide to go for a quick run. I get changed and head downstairs. Joe and Cal are in the gym, and Harry is doing laps in the pool. There's no sign of Nate so he must of gone for a run too I think to myself. I head out the back past the pool and wave at Harry. I do some stretches and start off at a slow pace to warm up. 15 minutes later I've found my pace and I'm enjoying the feeling of the breeze in my face. With my music jn my ears, i lose myself in the run. I'd found a track that took me up over the hills when we first arrived here. There was a road that also went up the hill, and I'd noticed that it was quite popular with college kids, as there was a carpark at the top. I don't see what the attraction is to be honest. Can't think of anything worse than hanging around a carpark.

I reach the top of the hill and stop whilst I look over the views. I hear something behind me, and turn around. It's that guy Zach from the football team. I see his car is parked over in the carpark, but no others are there. We seem to be alone. Any other girl would feel very uneasy now, but he doesn't scare me in the slightest. I'm quite capable of protecting myself.

"Bex" is all he says, with a sneer.

"Zach" I reply.

"Where's your bodyguards? Surely you've not been allowed out alone, not a pretty girl like you" he steps closer, but I hold myself still.

"I don't need bodyguards Zach, i can look after myself. But if you mean my brother and my friends, they are very protective over me"

"And Nate too, the boyfriend. Wasn't happy with me the other day. He is a bit possessive of you if you ask me" again he sneers and steps closer. He reaches out and grabs my arm and tries to pull me to him. But before he has the chance, I grab his arm which is holding me,twist it, and punch him square in the nose as soon as he let's go. He drops to the floor and his hand flies to his face. I look down at him.

"Ever touch me again, and that will look like I just gave you a gently tap, clear? I don't take kindly to being grabbed by anyone" I turn and walk away. Once I reach the path, I turn my music back on and start my run back down. I don't notice that there is someone watching from the side.

......

Nate.

It took all of my willpower then, not to step in and protect Bex. But I know she would never accept that she needed help in that situation, and she didn't. She had it totally under control, and she dropped him like a fly.

I'll be keeping a really close eye on Zach in future. And i set off for home too.

......

"Where have you been?" Bex asks when I come in.

"Following you beautiful " I say and I pick her up.

"What?" She laughs.

"Nah, but I did see you at the top of the hill. I was going to shout over to you, but then I saw Zach, and your interaction. I thought it best to keep my distance but keep an eye" I smirk at her and kiss her hard on the lips.

"Ha! You saw that? He's a dickhead. Let's go to bed, I need you inside me, deep inside me" and she kisses me again. I carry her upstairs as I can't bring myself to put her down.

.....

"Ah f**k! Bex, I can't hold off any longer, I need to c*m inside you" I'm pumping hard, she is so f*****g beautiful, I need to release inside her now.

"Fuuuck" Bex explodes around my throbbing c**k, at the same time as I release my full load inside her. She collapses on top of me and kisses me hard. I f*****g love this girl more than life.

"Jesus Nate, I'm well and truly f****d" she says and smiles that sexy as f**k smile at me.

......

"Nate!" Joe burst in to my room the following morning at 6.10am. Neither me or Bex are running today, as we both went yesterday, and trying to take it a little easy. Bex is still in my bed, after we fell asleep here last night watching a film.

"f**k Joe! Too early for this asshole!" I say rubbing my eyes.

"Yeah, well, I need to see you downstairs dude. And sorry, didn't realise my sister would be naked in your bed!" He laughs then, and I climb out of bed. "Dude! I do not need to see your f*****g morning hard-on!" He turns away.

"Then get the f**k out of my room and give me some f*****g privacy dude! And how about f*****g knocking in future!" I'm getting really grumpy now. What the f**k did he think we were, f*****g virgins?! Asshole.
