way out of your league

Making a Decision

Natalie's POV

I've been avoiding Nathan and Mike for weeks.I called Betty to give her my test product,and she promise to send her observation to me, I sent another box to Catherine, my mum and my new friend julia.Ever since I've been focused on my exams, Joy spends more time with Hansel and when she is around her friend Julie is always around too.

Joy has been getting less make up gigs since our fight with Sandra and nora and it's has been disturbing her a lot but thankfully Hansel is always with her no matter how busy he is.I decided that Joy should be my business partner since she knows a lot about makeup and we could join capital.

Our exams are over,I decided to meet up with Mike to tell him about the decision I made,I made sure our meeting point is a public place when I got there mike was already waiting for me."Hello Mike"I said "Hello babe, you look good" he said kissing my cheek "I miss you, please we need to move past this,I can't live without you"he said sighing "I'm not comfortable around you,I really want to work on this but I don't feel like that's the right thing to do"I replied, "lets try one more time please babe" he said and I decided to give it another try.

Since I've been working part time all semester to raise cash,I decided to stay back during the break. Catherine came around since she has a modelling gig in New York and Mike kept sending me gifts.Things have been going fine with Mike,I decided to let him see Amy since like he said she was one of his best friend.Joy was not happy with my decision and told me she wasn't going to pretend like she was cool with Mike, Catherine was more understanding though.

Judah came around again,but was still secretive about what he was working on.He was close to Nathan and they have been sleeping with girls in campus while Catherine seemed hurt anytime she hears of their escapades.I was in Mike's apartment with Catherine when Joy called inviting us over to the boys apartment, you would think she was their housemate I thought. Catherine was eager to leave so I told Mike we were leaving to Andre's place, a frown was forming on his face but he smiled quickly.One of the rules of us trying one more time was that I won't tolerate his jealous tantrums and he has laid back a little which I was proud of.

Getting to the apartment with Catherine,we were let in by Joy with Hansel working on his laptop in the kitchen."So why did you invite us over when you could actually come to the apartment" I asked "i'm not yet ready to let her out of my sight" hansel replied "I thought you would be past the honey moon stage by now and ready to hang out with us" Catherine said smiling.

"Nope,someone told me when I fall in love i'll understand and I most definitely do now" Joy replied kissing Hansel who grabbed her ass. "Please just stop you two" I said as I rolled my eyes "Ok so Natalie,I discussed with the producers and our next batch of improved test products are arriving tomorrow so we are apportioning it the way we did before and giving it to same people we gave the last time to use and give us a feedback like they did before but this time we have additional products"she said and I nodded "hope the foundation and concealer comes out well,I said especially the one for darker skin tone" I replied "so we would quickly drop by after work to pick it up and then we are off"I said "how is your clothing line plans going" Joy asked us."Its been tough but we are working our way around it"I said "we are trying to make it a little broad,so its not just casual wears but swim suit cooperate wears for both males and females,right now we have just Six designs for each category but we have eight designs we are still working on currently" Catherine replied

"Catherine is getting us a meeting with top brands to help us know how to go about this plus we are seeing fabric creator so we can decide the best fabric for each design it so stressful adding the make up line too" I said "Did I tell you Julie's mom has a very small shoe and bag line and Natalie feels they can expand it since her mom is sick and thinking of closing it up" Catherine said "wow,we are about to do something big" Joy said and we laughed as judah walked downstairs with a chick sucking his face "Ewwwww" I said disgusted "Really,you would do this" Catherine screamed at Judah while we were shocked,soon she was walking towards him "calm down Cathy" judah said while Joy and I shared a look,"Cathy" she whispered, "since when" I whispered back and the next thing we heard was Catherine slapping judah,he held her to his chest while she struggled and Judah told the girl to leave quickly dragging Catherine to his room and shutting the door.

I noticed Nathan was out of his room with a red hair b***h shocked at the commotion and smirking at me,so much for avoiding him.he was enjoying my discomfort so I decided it was time for payback,soon he was frowning noticing the change in my expression."Nat....what are you planning" he asked as I walked towards him slapping him "how dare you cheat on me,with this whore.how could you Nate" I said pretending to sob while I noticed Nathan confused. He knew I was pretending but didn't know what next to do while Joy and hansel had shock all over their face.

"I can't believe I fell for it when you said you loved me,and I shouldn't get an abortion" I cried as Joy screamed "what!" Oh pls let me do the acting joy I thought almost laughing "and you,you think you can steal my man get ready cause for the sake of my baby" I said rubbing my tummy "I won't let you leave here unscarred" I said rushing towards her as she ran out the door, Nathan grabbed her shoe and purse from his room and throw it out while she shouted "asshole, heartless monster".Soon I was laughing while Nathan was still frowning "Was that a joke" hansel asked astonished "tell me that was a joke Natalie" Joy screamed "Yea, it was payback to this man w***e"I said still laughing while Nathan was fuming.Soon we heard Judah and Cathrine screaming so joyy and I ran to the door trying to eavesdrop on them.

"We had a one night stand how was I suppose to know you cared when you never said anything the next morning" Catherine screamed "So I was only good to be used as the rebounds guy,the shoulder to cry when Andrew f***s someother b***h" Judah said "I never meant that,I cared about you and you know it" cathrine screamed "well going back to your ex after we had s*x was an awful way of showing it so I moved on"judah said quietly "So you would rather hurt me than face what we feel about each other"she said crying "how do I know you wouldn't be back with him the next minute hurting me" Judah said "you were never upfront about what you wanted from me"Catherine said crying uncontrollable now "Cathy please don't cry,get mad at me,hit me but don't cry,please" he said and just like that they started kissing Hansel dragged Joy downstairs while nathan carried me over him shoulder to his room while I screamed.

"Nathan put me down now" I said sternly slapping his back while he slapped my ass and I gasped, soon he threw me on his bed and I jumped up,his room smelled of s*x and the sheet were rumpled."Ewwww!you f****d her on those sheet,I don't want to catch STD" I said avoiding the bed "What was that about Natalie, Kelly is a loud mouth and that would be all over campus soon" he said "hope you are ok with being tagged as the girl carrying my baby" he said amused "or we could make a baby right now so it won't totally be a lie" he said pulling his joggers down as I ran out of the room while he laughed

I decided to stay away from Nathan permanently cause he is bad news but soon nathan came downstairs looking like he just had a bath.I couldn't stop looking at him "Are you done eye f*****g me" Nathan said loud enough for Joy and Hansel to hear "w***e" I said,"nerd" he replied "Nathan" I called "Yes babe" he said shocking me "what was that for" I asked.He shrugged and stepped out.

"Natalie its going to be the final year for this guys as a new session starts soon so we have to party a bit before judah and Cathy leaves" joy said "how about we hit the club next weekend before the session starts" hansel suggested "cool but i'm coming with Mike,kyle and Betty" I said ignoring Joy's attitude "OK",Hansel said " i'll inform the guys within the week" he said "Hansel what are you guys working on" I asked "it not my place to tell anyone yet but you'll know soon" he replied smiling

I made another decision to help mike get along with the guys so he would feel less jealous cause I knew he was struggling.
