Chapter 1 - History

"Why do you have to make everything so difficult for me?" Arya's voice croaked as she fought to keep the tears back that were drowning her from the inside. He had to complicate everything! It made life so hard for her.

"Arya..." He was such an idiot! Why was it so hard to say what he really meant?

"I don't want to hear it Nathan, I'm going out! We'll talk about this when I get home." She then stormed out of the house, snatching her leather jacket up off the hook on her way to the front door, tears streaming down her red-flushed cheeks.

"Arya! Wait!....please?" Now he was pleading and his voice broke, she span round with astonishing speed to face the pleading blue eyes behind her, her voice rising in pitch and volume,

"What do you want, Nathan? I have had enough of your crap! You either tell me straight or I walk out right now!" Nathan stared at his girlfriend in pure astonishment, god! She was gorgeous when she was angry! Words faltered him, he could not speak or move, just stare at her with a loving and pleading look. That was the final straw for her. Arya ripped the door key for the house they shared with Nathan's parents from her endless chain of keys and threw it down on the table, she walked out slamming the door shut behind her...

.....

It had been three whole years since she had last seen him and now here he was, standing there in a skin-tight, white, cotton t-shirt that defined every ridge, indent and pore of every muscle from his waist to his neckline then down his arms to the bare, muscular hands that were clenched on the handle of his sleek, black Audi R8 V10 Spyder... Well he had definitely grown over the years.

Should she walk over? Should she say anything? Should she let him know she was even there? The passenger door opened and out stepped a tall, blonde, perfectly tanned, twig-like, model-wanna-be practically only wearing her underwear. She stalked round the front of the crouched animal, she leaned forward and placed her perfectly red lips on his. His hands rested on her waist, pulling her body closer to his. His left hand moved round the girls waist to support her weight (even though there was nothing to support) as his right hand moved down, following the womanly curves of her body over her perfectly shaped bum to reach the back of her thigh, which he pulled up as he pushed her back against the car. His left hand slipped down to her other thigh which he pulled up so she was straddling him. Her mini skirt shrinking to a belt and becoming virtually non-existent.

Nope. She wasn't going to do a thing, she'd throw up if she tried.

Arya turned away from where Nathan was chewing the face off a twig and started walking towards where she thought her little blue VW golf was parked, when she realised she was heading in the wrong direction. She turned on her heel to search for her car, when she saw it her heart leapt into her throat. Why of all the places to park did she pick next to that one! Like the idiot that she was, her little golf was parked right next to the stupid Audi. Gathering all her pride, she held her head up right and casually strolled to her car, praying to all mother of gods that she wasn't noticed. She clicked the small unlock button on her car keys and a loud bleep echoed through the nearly empty car park.

Crap! She forgot that was so loud!

Nathan stopped what he was doing and looked up to where the noise was coming from just in time to see Arya open the car door.

"Arya!"

She turned round to face him, a false look of confusion plastered across her face, which changed to mock astonishment.

"Nathan! It's...it's..." Where do I start, I missed you? I still love you? Or is that too much? "You look well."

"You too, it's... been a while..." Really? Was that the best you can do? 'Its been a while'?
