The Morning After (T.O.N.S Sequel)

Chapter 13.

~Nathan~

I slowly pulled back from the kiss and opened my eyes.

Bethany's eyes were wide open and her mouth was open.

"I'm sorry. I just-" I moved my hands from her and put them in my pockets. "I don't know why I did that."

"No, um...it's...it's okay." She said softly. "...I think."

I chuckled nervously.

"You think? Am I that bad of a kisser?" I joked.

She blushed.

"No! That's not...that's not what I meant." She rushed out. "I meant it was just unexpected..."

"Yeah I know. I guess I just thought it would, calm you down...or something." I groaned. "God, I'm so stupid."

"Don't say that, Nathan. It's-" She pressed her lips together.

I stepped closer.

"What? What's wrong?"

She opened her mouth to speak but started breathing fast.

"Bethany, are you okay?" I questioned, resting a hand on her shoulder.

She suddenly fell to her knees and vomited on the pavement...

And her shirt.

"Shittt." I mumbled.

Great, I literally made her sick.

I stood behind her and rubbed her back soothingly as she emptied her stomach.

After a while she started dry-heaving and started to calm down.

"Are you-"

She held up a hand and uses the other to wipe her mouth with the back of her hand.

"I'm...fine." She said, breathing deeply.

She rested her hands on her thighs, examining her clothes.

"Crap." She muttered.

"I have an extra shirt in my car, if you need it." I suggested.

"Yes please. Thank you." She sighed.

"Anytime. Can you stand?" I grabbed her clean hand and helped her stand up.

Her knees buckled and I caught her before she fell and held her up.

"Falling for me already?" I raised an eyebrow.

She chuckled softly.

"Corny."

I led her to my car a couple of spaces away.

I unlocked the door and Bethany leaned against the passenger door as I searched the backseat.

Where was it?

I searched five times before sighing in defeat.

"What is it?" She asked curiously, peeking through the window.

"I can't find the shirt."

"Oh." She looked down at her ruined shirt. "It's okay. I have to change out of it anyways at the shoot."

Her eyes widened.

"The shoot!" She snatched her phone from her purse and checked the time. "Oh my god. I'm gonna be late. My agent's going to kill me."

She looked up at me.

"Thanks for everything but I have to go." She started to walk off when an idea popped into my head.

"Wait!"

She turned to face me as I started to unbutton my vest jacket.

"What are you doing?" Her eyes widened.

"Being a good friend." I smiled and removed my vest, laying it on the passenger seat.

I started on the buttons of my dress shirt and she looked away nervously.

"Nathan keep your shirt on." She said quietly.

I undid the last button and she paced towards me, reaching for my shirt.

"Nathan, stop." She grabbed at my abdomen just as I opened my shirt.

I didn't realize her hands were on my exposed stomach until I felt her pulse speed up underneath her small hands.

"Um..." She mumbled, eyes glued on my abdomen. "Sorry."

I removed my shirt completely and draped it over her shoulders.

I grabbed her hands and move them from my stomach and pecked her forehead.

"You should get going." I said softly.

She blinked a couple times then stepped back.

"Yeah. Um...I'll...call you later." She pulled my shirt tighter around her and turned away.

I watched her until she disappeared behind the next row of cars before walking around to the driver's side door and climbing in.

I looked down at my shirtless upper body and smiled.

It was worth it.

I started my truck and started to pull away when there was a tapping on my window.

I jumped and look to the left to see Bethany.

I rolled the window down.

"Bethany?"

She pulled the door open and stepped closer to me.

"Do you have any gum?" She asked.

"Uh...yeah." I raised an eyebrow handing her a piece from the armrest. "Why?"

She unwrapped it and popped it in her mouth, and chewed for a few seconds.

I started to speak again when she shocked the hell out of me by pressing her lips to mine.

I kissed her back for a few seconds before she pulled back.

"I like you too." She smiled against my lips. "We'll talk later. Bye."

"Bye." I whispered, pecking her lips one more time.

She grinned and stepped back, walking away for the last time.

It took me a few minutes to register what just happened before I closed my door and put the car in drive, smiling.

Just a little something!

Tell me what you think!
