Nathan's POV
Immediately I noticed Sandra placed the picture of me and Ryan on loveskis,I knew the media would start false rumors, speculations and narratives.I was so pissed at Sandra but as I talked to her, I realized getting mad at her wouldn't do any good in this situation so I simply downloaded the picture and put it up my status with the caption my nephew and I.
I tried calling Natalie but she wasn't picking my calls,I went back to see the latest news only to see wild speculations about sandra and I. Could Natalie have seen any of this,I wondered.I called Hansel who told me we were all supposed to have lunch together. Meeting up with them at lunch,Natalie kept ignoring me even when I tried talking to her,am I really surprised?No. We are not really in a good place right now.while Julia and Catherine kept bickering and I could see how jealous Julia is cause her ex who she still had feelings for was flirting with cathy, unknown to me I was playing with Natalie's curls.I also noticed Judah didn't want Tyler near Catherine but he was doing a better job hiding it than his so called girlfriend.
While we tried to calm the tension down a bit I heard Joy say "sure we need positive vibes", "And positive energy only,no bickering or two timing"Natalie said while I just couldn't help but groan and i said "We don't want to do this here Nat" "I don't want to do this at all" Natalie replied.I pulled her away from the restaurant while she kept screaming "let go of me Nathan right now".I only stopped when we got to my car and I opened the door pushing her in while she tried to get out, soon I was driving away from the restaurant."Nathan where the hell are you taking me to" she kept screaming "You are a lousy two timing cheater and a liar.You piece of s**t" she said but I kept ignoring her "how could I even fall in love with you,You are the worst of them all"she continued as we pulled into the my apartment and I pulled her inside.
"Ok Natty,I know you are still mad at me so you can scream at me all you want now" I said while she ignored me sitting on the couch"baby i'm so sorry I hurt you,I never wanted to at least I never planned on taking it that far,things went out of control"I said sighing,"what went out of control oh you mean you f*****g her or you enjoying it,great just great Nathan"she replied "please Natalie,I promise I'll explain everything after your exams" I said "There is nothing to explain Nathan,I saw you f*****g her,how could you do that to me Nate" she said sobbing "baby i'm so sorry,please give me a little more time,I would do every thing to make this right" I replied.
"And how would you do that, its not like you can unfuck her or I can unsee that.Just stop taking me for a fool and go on with whatever you have with Sandra" she said,Aha!well at least now I know she saw the articles "You know her baby is my nephew natty,i'm always going to be connected to her through that child but that's all" I said while she looked away "look at baby,please look at me" I said pulling her face to mine and I said "There is nothing going on between us, its just you here" I saw touching my heart "And i'm sorry I hurt you" I finished as she began sobbing again "please babe don't cry, hit or scream at me just don't cry"I said as I pulled her in kissing her with everything i've got,trying to tell her how much I love her through that kiss, when we pulled apart I pulled her into my arms hugging her and petting her.Soon she slept off in my arms while on the couch.I heard the door bell so placing Natalie in a comfortable position I stood up to check who was at the door.
I was surprised to see Sandra and my nephew at the door."What are you doing here Sandra" I asked as she walked in with Ryan "I wanted to make sure you weren't mad about the pictures and articles" she said as she strolled in "what is she doing here" Sandra asked irritated "sshhhh" I said kissing Natalie's head before picking her up and taking her to my room while she slept peacefully. She stirred a little as I placed her on the bed with Sandra watching us at the door not that I cared "Nate" she said sleepily and I pulled her into my arms saying "i'm here baby just rest a little,i'll wake you up soon" and she was out again.I shut the windows and walked out closing the door and pulling Sandra away from there "why is she here,I thought you guys broke up"Sandra said "This doesn't concern you so just drop it"I replied "I was just showing concern, cause she dumped you when you needed her so I just don't want her hurting you again"Sandra said "I was the one who hurt her not that you would understand, just stay out of this and stop coming to my apartment, I won't let you in next time cause this is complicating things in my life.if you need to see me, call or come to the office besides you could also call Nora she is back now or my parents" I said.
"I understand that the media is crazy right now with false rumors but you are still Ryan's only uncle" Sandra said "And i'm not denying that,I need a little space Sandra for now" I said as Ryan stirred and I picked him up soon sandra changed his diapers,feed him and I was trying to make him burp when Natalie walked in.As Ryan burped I guess I was happy at the little success I had so I said "there you go my man", I turned to see Natalie smiling so I passed Ryan to his mom and walked towards her "why are you up natty,did we disturb you"I asked pushing her curls from her face "No you didn't,this is so awkward"she said "it doesn't have to be"I whispered and she smiled "I should go nate" she said "please give me a little time,i'll drive you back" I said "or she could just call a cab" Sandra said "No" I replied and Ryan began crying,I picked him up rocking him while I begged Natalie to wait.soon Ryan slept off and as Sandra prepared to leave my dad called and I went to the room to pick the call.I came back to see Natalie fuming and I turned to sandra frowning cause she can be bitchy and I don't trust her around Natalie."Are you done getting your things"I said to sandra and she nodded so I turned to Natalie "please give me a minute to see them out"I said picking up Ryan and walking to her car where her driver was waiting.
When i got back and Natalie was back to being moody "what did she say to you that got you all worked up" I asked "Does it matter,i'm just so tired and I need to focus on my exams which is close,take me home Nate" she replied "I know you are still mad at me but i'm not going anywhere,and i'm not letting you go,we'll sort this out after your finals" I said pecking her and holding her hands all through the ride to her apartment. "Thanks for the ride Nathan,bye"she said "I love you" I replied as she stepped out.
while I drove off,I knew I needed to have a serious conversation with Sandra and I need to do it quickly so she knows her place. I also have tons of things to do at the office, I can't help but wonder how Nelson coped with all these,I thought sighing.I got back to the office and my dad was already requesting to have a meeting with me,can I just get a f*****g break. "Hey dad,is there any issue we need to go over" I said as I walked into his office,"Not really,your work has been top notch lately,I appreciate the effort you are putting into the running of the company"he replied and I nodded. "Your mum just called,she talked to Sandra who was a bit sad about how the media is kind of ruining the relationship between you and her,I know the media tends to blow things out of proportion but please do remember that Sandra is family and you are Ryan's uncle"my dad said "I know that and i'm doing my best but I do need space from her sometimes, i'm not Ryan's only relative,he has an aunty and grandparents too who can fill in sometimes" I replied feeling so exhausted with this issue "You know your mum and I are dealing with the issue of Nelson's biological dad trying to take Ryan from her,we need you now Nathan" my dad replied and I sighed,I guess I have to figure out some other way to deal with this but I need things to go back to the way it was with me and my girl.
