Meant to be

Chapter 6

Nathan's POV:

I opened the door to the house, assuming Amanda left me a key this morning

"Nathan, is that you?" she shouted from the kitchen

"Yeah" I replied

"good, go sit I'll call you for dinner soon" she added and I went to the living room,Mike was sitting texting on his phone

"Hey, what's up" he said looking at me

"nothing much, you?" I replied

"same" he said, going back to texting, I don't have any hard feelings for him actually it was his fault that he was born, it was Amanda's fault at the first place

"so I was wondering, do you have the number of Aria?" I asked after few moments of silence

"of course, why need anything?" he asked

"no just wanted to check on her, if you don't mind can I have it?" I added and he gave me a knowing smile

"yeah sure, hand me your phone" he said and I did so he saved her number and gave it back to me

"be careful, if you hurt her I'll hurt you" he threatened

"so you've known her for too long?" I asked

"yeah we've being best friends since we were kids" he replied, Ah so they're just best friends not lovers

"Ah I see" I nodded

"any special lady?" I asked

"Em, yeah you can say that, her name is Emily" he replied with a smile, he looked happy

"wish you the best" I said smiling

"Thanks" he replied

"Dinner is ready" Amanda shouted from the dining room

"coming" Mike shouted back and be both stood up heading there

"Nathan, how's college?" John asked cutting his steak

"good" I replied nodding

"you're studying management in NYU, right?" Amanda spoke

"yeah" I nodded again

Mike was busy texting his girlfriend and all I did was nod to their questions, Mike let out a small laugh and they turned to look at him but he didn't seem to care as he continued texting

"where did you go today?" Amanda asked

"hang out" I replied

"alone? Didn't get lost?" she insisted

"no I went with Aria" I informed

"as in Aria Hunter the one that was here yesterday?" she questioned little confused

"yap, the one and only" I replied

"oh Mike looks like someone's trying to steal your girl" she teased and I sensed that she didn't like the fact that I was with Aria

"mom she's not my girl and if they like each other, then great" Mike replied putting his phone

And she just faked a smile, of course she'll want him to have all the good things in life that's why she chose him after me

"excuse me" I said and went to the room, I decided to take a shower and lay in bed, I closed my eyes thinking about the kiss me and Aria shared and her beautiful face and smile

I checked the hour and saw it was 11 pm I thought about calling her but maybe she was asleep after many thoughts I decided to call, and after the third ring she answered
