Black And Grey

9. Visit..

"Yeah,the burial should be in a few days" I say to Amanda over the phone

"Wow.. All this is a lot to take in" she says sighing

"Should i come over?" She adds

"C'mon,Amanda.. You have college"

"That doesn't mean I can't visit you" she replies sniffling.. I'm very sure she was crying

"I feel so bad for mom" I reply

"She'll be fine"

I hear a knock on the door..

"Amanda,let's talk later.. Someone's at the door"

"Sure" she replies before hanging up

I get up and I go to open the door..

"Hey" Nathan greets

"Hi" I greet observing him

He's in a blue shirt with a pair of black ripped jeans and he looks good under the sun.  His skin absorbing the  afternoon sun...

"Should I come in or you still need sometime to gawk" he says cockily

"Oh,shut your trap"

I let him come into the house,I shut the door and I walk behind him into the house...

"How you feeling?" He asks

"Bad"

"I'm sorry.. Have you eaten?" He asks

"No. Why?" I ask amused

"I'm just after your wellbeing" he shrugs

I roll my eyes and I plop on the couch,I partially sink in it,sighing..

"You know.. Dad used to sit here a lot" I say getting comfy

"Oh yeah?"

I nod.. Nathan gets up,sits on the couch and puts my outstretched legs on his laps..

"Wow.. There's a clearer view of the TV from here" he says

"Shut up"

"Where's mom?" He asks

"Out.. Went to see some peeps regarding the burial"

He nods...

I sigh deeply,thinking of how to provide for mom..

"Don't tell me you're thinking,again" Nathan says

"No.. I'm just--- okay,yes.. I am" I reply

"I told you everything is gonna be fine" he says massaging my feet

"That tickles" I say hiding my laughter

"Oh yeah?" He says increasing the friction..

I burst into laughter as he moves his hands to the sole of my feet and he starts running his fingers playfully across them..

"Stop.. I'm gonna pee!" I shriek laughing hard

"Then pee" he smirks

"Nathan!!" I yell,laughing my lungs out
I laugh to the extent that tears run out of my eyes..

He stops and I'm breathing heavily.

"You're crazy" I say,steadying my breath

He just shakes his head,grinning

Someone knocks on the door..

"I'll get it" I say getting up

I walk to the door and I open it.

"Amanda!" I exclaim hugging her

"Hey,Jessy.. How are you?" She asks softly

"Well you're here now. So,I'm good" I reply smiling

"I've missed you" she says as we walk inside

She sees Nathan on the couch and she faces me with a smirk. I just roll my eyes at her..

"Oh,and I'm sorry about your dad" she sighs and her happy mood is gone

"Thank you"

"Hey,Amanda" Nathan greets
They greet each other,chat for a while then mom comes in..

We all greet mom,she hasn't seen Amanda in a while,so they chat for a while,Amanda tells her some encouraging things and then Nathan joins their conversation..
I see his eyes light up anytime  Amanda says something funny.. He has the cutest smile....

  He notices me staring

Oh crap,crapity crap crap

He gets up and walks to me.

"Say anything stupid,and I promise you that I'll gouge out your eyeballs and shove them in your ears"

He raises his hands in surrender with a sheepish smile..

He sits down and stares at mom and Amanda..

"You look like your mom.. Dang" he says noticing the resemblance

"Well.. From the word mom,you should have known that there would at least be a slight resemblance" I say with an eye roll

He smirks at the response..
He's so close to me that I can feel his body radiate.. This isn't good.. Nathan is having this effect on me without making an attempt..

"Personal space,dumb ass.. Never heard of it?"

"I have. But it isn't necessary in some cases. Sometimes,close contact is necessary" he replies

"Weirdo"
