way out of your league

Messy

Nathan Pov

My conversation with Andre made me understand how to approach issues with Natalie.Apparently the fact I was linked to Arianna had hurt Natalie a lot which was never my intention.Immediately I dropped Andre's call,I tried calling Nora but couldn't get to her so I dropped a message asking if we could meet up which she replied twenty minutes later saying she would see me at work first thing on Monday morning.I really don't understand how Nora's brain work some times,yea I know she want Andre back but that girl is so spoilt that she expects to get everything at the snap of her fingers.

On Monday morning I got to the office at six o'clock,feeling nervous and hoping Natalie would come.By eight o'clock Nora came to see me,I found it surprising that she would come this early "How are you Nora and how come you are this early"I asked "cause I need your help Nathan"she replied "Before you start I want to tell you Andre is irritated with the way you are apparently harrasing him by showing up any and everywhere he goes, what is going on in your head Nora, don't you understand how to go about your business with tact and if a guy doesn't want you,you can't force him to,I thought you would have learnt that with every thing you've been through" I said fuming "of course I have,so I am going back to,the one person who actually did like me.I loved him alot and was very stupid to give that up.I wish nelson was here" she said crying and I felt bad so I hugged her "it's ok Nora, everything would be ok,if you want to try going back to Andre do it with tact and if he shuts you down move on,focus on yourself,I know you would be fine,you can do way better than stalking a guy,I promise you would be ok,I'm here for you and you don't need a man to define you"I said hugging her "I feel Natalie is trying to snatch him"she said while sobbing and I laughed"

"Nora,you are a poor judge of people's character"I said "Nathan I know what I saw,she said she was disgusted by us all when she is the cheat"she said "And how do you know she is the one in the video, isn't it same faulty thinking that made you dump Andre,I did warn you about that didn't I"I said "I don't like her"she said pouting "And you expect Andre to leave his childhood friend who has done nothing at all to you all because you are self absorbed and foolish enough to think people in a lower social status to yours should all bend over so you step over them,with that thinking it's best you leave Andrea cause he is no longer the guy you knew and wouldn't take most of the s**t he took from you before"I said "he called me a stalker and now it's all over the internet,I never meant to do that,he would never talk to me like that before" she said almost crying again "that's because he loved you Nora but you hurt him,he trusted you but you broke that,he now expects the worst from you,you need to think about things thoroughly Nora.Do you want to be with him because you love,trust and would stand by him or because he is the only one who ever treated you right.Note the latter reason is selfish"I said "ok Nathan,I'll do that" she replied "Nora distance yourself from what mom has taught you about class, it's messy and wouldn't help you see people for who they are neither would it help you make real friends"I said as I walked with her out of my office.

I opened the door only to see Natalie standing there,I was really happy to see her,I wanted to hug her but I know she wouldn't want that so I settled for taking a closer look at her,she looked worried, stressed and tired.I hate seeing her like this especially when I know I'm the cause of it."what are you doing here Natalie,I thought we were all disgusting to you"Nora said and that brought my mind back to the present "Nora,don't start,remember what we talked about" I said "My opinion about you guys hasn't changed,as for what I'm doing here why not ask your brother to explain to you" Natalie replied sarcastically "Talk about a mess, hope you know I can have you thrown out"Nora said "Since we want to talk about a mess let me humour you, Messy is thinking everyone below your social status is after your Money yet expecting someone from that same social class to love you,Messy is dumping a guy who treats you right for a trashy one only to find out he is trashy then trying to jump back to the one you dumped,Messy is cyber bullying your ex's girlfriend so they break up and expect him to like you,Messy is stalking a guy and expecting he would find it adorable, Messy is expecting the same person you never trusted and joined your family in humiliating would want to go through that with you again,Messy is expecting to separate close friends all because of your insecurity and low self-esteem, Messy is you Nora Johnson" Natalie replied smiling and I was shocked,"I hate you,you low life cheating swine"Nora said "Oh Nora hates me,how can I live with that"Natalie said mockingly "Guess what,I don't care, shocker right"Nat concluded. "Natalie please stop it" I said begging "is this why you told me to come here,you think I would stand by while you humiliate me" Natalie said with her voice shaking

"why would he do that when you have done a perfect job already"Nora said "Nora stop"I said "What! She started it!" Nora replied "Ignorant fool"Natalie said "Whatever,Andre and I are already getting back together,I guess that's why you are back to chasing my brother,he loved my gift"Nora said only for her phone to ring "Hello,what is it EVA"Nora said to her personal assistant "I'm sorry about disturbing you ma,but I wanted to inform you Mr Andre sent your parcel back"Nora angrily stormed past while Natalie said "Talk about being messy, Stalker.If you need help,you know where to find me"Natalie said laughing "That was totally uncalled for"I replied."What exactly do you want me to do here Nathan,so we can get this three weeks rolling"Natalie said so I explained everything she had to do,my secretary came to the office with my schedule for the week and files for her to go over.That was how the day began.

After our last meeting for the day we were both exhausted,but I just Couldn't stop myself from asking her "Do you really find me disgusting" it has been bothering me all day."Yes,and for the duration of my stay,I don't want to talk about anything personal between us" she replied before leaving.The next few days went by smoothly until on Thursday when Arianna stop by my office to see me "Hello Nathan"she said strolling in "Why are you here"I said pissed at whoever let her in "hello to you too"she said "I don't give a f**k about your pleasantries,state your reason for coming here or get the f**k out"I replied "you are an asshole"she said "That's nothing new to you"I replied drily "I have an interview with a certain magazine tomorrow"she said "And how is that any of my business"I replied cause I don't see how this concern me "I'm going to be asked about you,I mean us"she replied "There is no us,there never was"I replied getting more pissed "I know,I just need your permission to tell them we dated but it over cause we broke up"She said "That never happened why would I allow that,you are pushing me Ariana.Was this why you never addressed any of those speculations about us even after the way things went down the last time we met"I asked "please just do this one thing for me and I won't bother you anymore,I get it that you don't like me"she said "I don't want to cause that's a big lie that complicates my life" I replied "Why Nathan, it's not like you've never told any lie,I bet you've had your fair share" she said pulling my tie just as Natalie walked in "We have a meeting in ten minutes" Natalie said only to look up from what she was reading to see Ariana and I.Fuck this isn't suppose to happen, "I see you are busy,sorry for disturbing" she said walking out.I know she is pissed, turning to Arianna I said "I really don't need your presence in my life, as for the subject of that interview I'll help you clear it once and for all"I said picking up my phone and dropping a statement on my loveskis account addressing the speculation that I was dating Arianna Russell,I refered to her as a family Friend I respect and found it disrespectful to her and me that someone would cook up such stories trying to sabotage the good relationship both families share.After posting it I showed her my post "That is another way to answer when asked about those stupid speculations,if you make this messy,I would make it disastrous when I back this up with a clip of how the last meeting between both families went, have a nice day Arianna"I replied "oh also don't forget there is a video of you with three guys out there"I quickly concluded "asshole" She replied as she stepped out.

I met Natalie in the board room along with other board members for the meeting,she was doing her utmost not to look at me so brushed my hands against her's but she pulled away.My dad walked in pausing when he saw Natalie,then gave a look which said we would talk about this later so I nodded and soon the meeting started.We ended up closing late for the day and as we walked to my office Natalie talk about the changes to me made based on the discussion from the board meeting but I was mentally done for the day."Natty,I know you are pissed off since you saw Ariana in my office but baby we aren't together,I promise,we never were,I made sure of that"I said "Don't talk to me about personal stuff Nathan,you don't have to give me an explanation"she said stiffly "Baby I'm sorry about everything you went through I sorry I made it seem like I don't trust you and I know you weren't the one in that video" I said quickly but she walked away crying.I really don't want to hurt her but I end of doing that.I really hope I can clear things up fast.
