Sweet life of Phoebe Grey

Chapter 22

(Phoebe's Pov)

It is the day after Thanksgiving. I have had the best week Teddy and I got to hang out alone one day so we went to the mall and walked around. I also have gotten to know Delaney a lot more and she is really cool.

Today is the day that I am going to hang out with Nathan. He is coming over around 1:30, so I have about 45 minutes to get ready. I go upstairs and straighten my long hair.

After I apply some light makeup but not too much. I go to my closet and try to decide what to wear. I can't have anything to revealing but I don't want to wear something that says 'don't touch me'.

I decide on leggings and a button down flannel to wear. I put it on the bed and then slip out of my robe. I put on blush pink lacy panties and a matching pink lace bra. I keep the flannel buttoned appropriately because we will be speaking to my father.

At 1:30 sharp he texts me that he is here. I let him in through the gate and call my Dad. He comes out of his office and over to me. He leans down and kisses my head. "Please be nice Dad he is a really good friend." I emphasize the word friend. "I will Phoebe don't worry, but I do intend on scaring just a bit." I roll my eyes and he narrows his eyes at me. "Sorry" I mumble.

Nathan walks in wearing dark jeans and a grey t-shirt. I haven't ever seen him out of his school uniform and damn he looks good. He walks straight over to my Dad and shakes his hand. "Hello sir I am Nathan Moore, thank you so much for inviting me into your home." My Dad looks very impressed. I smile up at him.

"Not a problem Mr. Moore, I hear you and Phoebe met at school?" My dad questions him. "Yes sir, your daughter was kind enough to let me follow her around for my first couple days." My Dad nods and smiles at me.

My Dad and Nathan talk about school, business, and football. They also talked about me and the way Nathan talked about me made my heart burst. I think my Dad really likes him and that makes me so happy. I was worried he was going to not.

To my surprise and Nathan's, my dad says we can go in the basement and hang out. I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. There is no camera in the basement and Sawyer won't be down there.

"Phoebe can I talk to you before you meet Nathan downstairs." My dad asks and my stomach falls. "I am giving you a lot of trust Phoebe. I expect you to make the right decisions right now. I will be in my office." He says and before he can walk off I wrap my arms around his waist thanking him.

I go downstairs to meet Nathan, he is sitting on the big black couch we have. Our basement has a sitting room, bathroom, bedroom, and movie theatre. I walk into the sitting room find him sitting with his elbows on his knees.

I walk over and sit next to him crossing my legs indian style and facing him. "Your Dad is really nice Bee." He says and I smile agreeing with him.

"So do you want to go to the movie theatre and watch a movie?" I ask him not really knowing what to do. "I think we need to talk first." He says sitting back and looking over at me. "Phoebe about a couple days ago, I felt horrible I never meant to force myself on you or disrespect you like that." He says looking so sincere.

This boy has the biggest heart. "Nathan you never forced yourself on me. I wanted you to kiss me. Look Nathan as long as we are talking freely I like you, a lot and in ways I haven't felt before. You are caring and kind and for what it's worth unbelievably sexy. I wanted you to kiss me, just like I do every time I am around you." I sigh getting all of that off my chest.

He blushes when I say he is sexy. "Bee, I wanted you since the first time I saw you in that office." He says and then looks me up and down. "By the way your ass looks amazing in those pants." I laugh and lean in playfully hitting his chest. He feigns hurt and pouts. I lean in kissing his chest better. He takes my chin with his hand and guides it up to his lips.

Nathan starts kissing me and I melt. I scoot in and move just how I was a couple of days ago. I am straddling him on the couch and his hands are roaming. They find my ass and give a gentle squeeze. I hum in appreciation.

I drape my arms on his shoulders and put my hands through his hair. His hands make their way to the top button of my flannel and he pulls back and looks me in the eye. I nod to give him permission and then I start kissing him again.

My flannel is being slowly unbuttoned as he kisses me. This boy is going to kill me. He undoes the last button and I feel cool air hit my torso.

His eyes wander hungrily over my chest. He takes a finger and draws along the edge of my bra. "This is a great color on you Phoebe." He says and I squirm at his touch.

He pulls my flannel all the way off and sets it next to him. We go back to kissing and then he moves off my lips. He starts sucking on my neck and kissing my shoulders.

I start to get nervous as his hands make their way to unclip my bra. Tears are filling my eyes as images of Ryan and Jake fill my head. No I can't do this. He can't do this.

"Stop" I finally say as tears slip down my face. "Phoebe? I am so sorry here baby put this on… shhh it's okay I am so sorry." He is freaking out as he helps me get dressed and buttons my flannel again.

I am probably killing him. I told him I wanted him and then he kissed me and I freaked out. What is wrong with me?

"I am sorry" I apologize and he looks over at me confused and concerned. "Phoebe why are you sorry, I was the one who hurt you?" I sigh and look down.

"Nathan you didn't hurt me at all I am just too much of a baby to go farther than this." I sigh and knot my fingers together.

"I don't need to go farther than this. Being with you is enough. We could wait 20 years before we got farther than that and I would be fine." He says brushing my hair out of my face.

I debate in the moment telling him about Jake and Ryan and giving him an explanation of why I am like this. But I can't, he will stop being friends with me.

"How about we go and watch a movie?" He says standing up and holding his hand out for mine. I smile up at his gorgeous face. "Ah there it is, my Bee's beautiful smile" He says as he pulls me up to him. He kisses my forehead before leading me into the movie room.

We decide to watch Get Out, I have already seen it but don't tell him that because he really wanted to watch it. The first time I saw it was with Ava and it was so scary. But strangely enough with Nathan here it doesn't even faze me.

We are sitting in the seats that recline so we are laying. His arm is around me and my head is laying on his chest. He is slowly running his hand through my hair. I start to doze off and end up falling asleep.

I wake up to someone shaking me. "Bee wake up" his voice is like an angel. I slowly open my eyes and find him smiling at me. "Hi there sleepy head."

"I'm sorry I fell asleep. I just didn't sleep well last night." I say yawning and staying warm in his chest. We have a blanket covering us. "It's okay I liked seeing you so peaceful." He says smiling and rubbing my head again.

"Did you like the movie?" I ask and he says it was okay nothing special. We stay sitting like that for awhile and finally he speaks up. "Phoebe I really like you." I blush and wonder where he is going with this.

"We have been talking and texting everyday for weeks now and I want more from us, I was wondering if you would like to go out with me?" He asks so sweetly. I sit up and look at him. My blush is probably as red as ever.

"I would love to go out with you." I say and his smile widens.

We sit and talk in the basement until about 5 and then we head upstairs. As we get up there Ted and Delaney are sitting at the table with my Mom. Crap I really didn't want to have to introduce him to everyone.

"Phoebe, come here." Teddy says in a no nonsense tone. Delaney puts her hand on his forearm and smiles at me. I decide to just introduce him. "Mom, Teddy, Delaney this is Nathan Moore. Nathan this is Teddy, his girlfriend Delaney, and my Mom" I say and he takes the time to shake all of their hands and personally introduce himself. I can see my mom loves him, but Teddy looks skeptical.

I walk Nathan out to his car and stand by it with him. We stand on the opposite side of the windows so whoever is inside can't see. "I am glad you are mine now, so I can do this anytime I want." He leans in and presses his lips to mine. We say our goodbyes and he leaves.

I really like him and I am now realizing I have liked him since the moment I met him. I now have to just talk to my Dad about him asking me out. I know he isn't going to be thrilled because today is the first day he met him. But I have known him for almost 2 months now and we have talked everyday. He knows a lot about me almost everything there is to know. Except the thing about Jake and Ryan.

I kiss him goodbye again and walk into the house. My Mom is now sitting alone, I assume Teddy and Delaney went to watch a movie in the basement. I should just ask her for advice and tell her about Nathan. She should understand her and my Dad got married within months of knowing each other.

"Hey Mom can I talk to you for a second?" I ask politely, I think she looks shocked because usually I go to my Dad if I need to talk. "Sure Pheebs what's up?" I just need to tell her.

"Well I know you just met Nathan today and that is my fault completely… but we have been talking for awhile now. Almost two months and he has become someone really special to me and when we were hanging out he asked me to go out with him and I um said yes." I spit it all out in one sentence.

My Mom just smiles at me. "Phoebe if you like that boy then by all means you should say yes. I can tell you are very into him. I know you are probably scared to tell your father but in all honesty I think he will be happy you are telling him, instead of lying." She says leaning in kissing my forehead. "Go talk to him, he is in his office."

I walk over nervously to the door and knock quietly. "Come in" he says and I peek my head in he smiles at me and motions for me to sit. Now or never. "What's up Bubs? How was Nathan?" I smile and knot my fingers in my lap.

"Thats actually what I came to talk to you about. I know this is your first time meeting him Dad but I have gotten to know him really well over the past 2 months and he has become one of my best friends and someone really important to me." I stop there letting that sink in.

My Dad rubs his chin. "I am glad you have found a friend in that boy. He has a good head on his shoulders." He says to me. "But I assume you are not done with what you are trying to say." He says and gestures his hand out letting me continue.

"Dad Nathan asked me while we were hanging out to be his girlfriend… and I said yes… and um if you don't let me I will um um I will-" He cuts me off. "Phoebe rambling." He says and sits back rubbing his hand over his face.

"Phoebe…" He starts but then my mom walks in the room and sits next to me. She takes my hand in hers and I smile nervously at her. "Did you hear the news Christian? Phoebe has a boyfriend we now can tease her about." My Mom looks at my Dad and smiles.

I think with the combination of me being petrified and my moms humor he lightens up. "Phoebe… you are allowed to date him. But on some conditions… your grades have to remain the same, your behavior will not change, and you are honest with your Mom and I." I nod quickly and don't even bother to look around before I run to my Dad hugging him.

I think he is finally trusting me after the whole Ryan incident. He wraps his arms around me and holds me to him. "You are the best Daddy, no one can replace you, no matter how great they are." I see his eyes get misty before he hugs me tighter. I don't know if anyone will ever be as great of a man as my father is.
