Sweet life of Phoebe Grey

Chapter 27

 (Phoebe's Pov)

I am sitting with Nathan in the living room, waiting for the female detective to show up. My Dad and Mom left an hour ago. I told them I didn't want them to stay while the lady came.

If somebody is going to stay with me while she takes these I want it to be Nathan. Gail is staying here too but she is giving us space. I have spent the past day with Nathan watching movies and cuddling.

I can't stop thinking about how he must feel. It feels like I have cheated on him. Ryan saw me without a bra and was groping me. Nathan hasn't seen me or touched me like that. He is probably just trying to make me feel better.

"What's troubling you, Bee?" I sigh and look down picking at my hands. He leans over kissing my forehead and cheek.

"Tell me." It is a soft yet forceful command. I sigh and decide to just tell him because I know he isn't going to drop it.

"I feel like I have cheated on you." I say sadly as I keep my eyes downcast. I hear him shift and get off the couch. He is now sitting on the coffee table in front of me. His elbows on his knees. He is stunning.

"Phoebe you didn't want him to touch you like that. If you did we wouldn't be together. He had to distract your CPO to get to you. I know you didn't want him, I am not mad at you at all. I am pissed as hell at Ryan, but you I am not even close to mad at. Please don't ever think that." He takes my chin in his hand forcing me to look at him.

I sigh in relief and pull him towards me. He grabs me in his arms and hugs me tightly. "I am here for you." Those five words calm me to no end.

"Phoebe darling, the detective is here." Gails sweet voice rings through the room. I sit up and turn seeing a woman in her mid fifties.

"Hello there, I am Detective Joe." I smile tightly and shake her hand. In my head I mentally kick myself for not having my Dad be here.

"Phoebe can you please pull off your sweater." The detectives voices kicks me out of my internal thoughts. I look at Gail whose eyes are casted on the detective, then I look to Nathan. He has his eyes locked on me.

"Phoebe" Nathan says to me. I nod and slowly strip my shirt off. I am left in a black Calvin Klein sports bra. She positions my arms, she takes pictures of my back and then chest. The whole process takes about 25 minutes.

"Thank you for doing this Phoebe." I nod to the detective as Gail shows her out. I slip my sweater back on. Yawning I turn to see Nathan watching me. "Phoebe let's go lay down you look exhausted." He says and takes my hand pulling me to my room.

"Phoebe close your eyes." He whispers to me. My eyes are locked on the ceiling I didn't sleep at all last night. Poor Dad was up with me all night. At one point he just sat and read one of Mom's manuscripts to me.

I don't feel tired but I need sleep. I put my chin on Nathan's chest, so I am looking at him. "Thanks for staying with me tonight." I tell him. He must be bored out of his head. He sits there stroking my hair.

"There is no place I would rather be." If he is sitting with me all day and now night I should do something for him.

I lean up and cup his face. I lean down and start to gently kiss him. It gets a little deeper with me initiating it. I start to kiss down to his neck and chest. I decide I should go down on him because he has sat here with me and I need to repay him.

I wouldn't say I am comfortable with what is about to happen at all but I need to, I owe him. When I start to undo his pants, he takes my trembling hands in his large ones and pulls them away.

"What?" I say trying to act like I am completely fine. He just smiles and kisses me one more time and lays me back down.

"Phoebe why did you just try that?" He asks me looking down. At this point I want the ground to swallow me whole but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

"I just thought I would please you, you know because well you sat here with me all day and all last night and now tonight again." I say and bury my face in his chest.

He smells of body wash and Nathan, a very sexy and enticing combination. I feel him shake his head before he pulls me up so I am looking at him. Sometimes I forget how strong he is.

"Phoebe what did I say the last time this happened?" He is referring to when I freaked out when we were hooking up.

"You don't need to go farther than what I am comfortable with." I mumble petulantly. He kisses my hand because I am sat up looking down at him. He has his hands behind his head supporting it. His arm muscles popping out.

He is wearing a grey t-shirt and black joggers, he was wearing a flannel but I stole it after the detective came. "That's right. I don't need you to go down on me, I don't need s*x. I just need you." He says and strokes my cheek.

I did luck out with him. He is so kind and so sexy. Someday he will make very pretty babies. WOW where did that come from. I internally fight myself for that comment.

"Why don't we order pizza?" He says pulling out his phone. He orders a large hawaiian pizza. I smile as that is both of our guilty pleasures.

We head downstairs to retrieve the pizza. Nathan insists on paying for it. I sigh and let him. We sit at the counter with Dr. Pepper and the pizza. We laugh as we talk about Nathan getting in trouble for sneaking out of practice to see me.

"It was worth every minute of detention with Ms. Crumb" He laughs and that makes me laugh.

"I would walk around this earth five times to hear you giggle like that again." I blush and smile at him. He really is the best.

We end up sitting there for an hour and a half. My parents walk in and find us still picking at our pizza. My mom gives me a hug. She smells like her perfume and lots of wine. I laugh as you can tell she is drunk. I shake my head at Nathan.

"Hi Dad." I smile to him and give him a hug. "Phoebe is this yours?" He asks pointing to the flannel. Oh boy this looks bad. My Mom sits and stares at us. Nathan looks as red as a tomato.

"No um it's Nathan's but I um put it on after the lady came to take pictures because I had to take my shirt off for her and I didn't want to put my shirt back on." I explain he nods slowly. "I hope you are being honest." My dad kisses my head again.

"Christian leave the poor girl alone" my mom laughs in her drunken state. I raise my eyebrows at Dad as he sighs. "Ana let's get you in bed." He takes her off to their room.

"Excuse them." I sigh and shake my head. "They are very great people Bee." I smile and nod looking down the hall at them laughing. My dad has my Mom thrown over his shoulder.

Someday I hope I can be as happy as they are. And honestly I wouldn't mind being that happy with Nathan.
