All the guys fussed over me once I got back, esspecially Jay- I think he felt rather guilty as his nakedness had caused me to brake my toe. We discussed what do that day, and decided we would just spend a day in, unpacking, then get a few drinks and some food and watch some films. I went into my room and started to unpack, I have OCD when I go on holiday, everything had to be neat a tidy. Megan comes in, "Hey Ria!" She smiles sitting on my bed,

"Hey." I reply folding a pair of high wasted jeans up and putting them in a draw,

"Look, I feel as though we got off to a rough start- I wasn't serious about the Nun thing." She said, biting at her nail, which is most likely a habit,

"It's okay, I always seem a bit of a nutter when I meet new people." I reply as I stand up and start sorting out my makeup,

"Nathan told me about...well the 'Megan-is-so-sexy...thing, I thought I should just let you know- I don't like Nathan that way, he doesn't like me either. He is all yours." Megan grinned at me, waiting to see my reaction,

"I-" I start,

"Don't even deny it! It's okay to lie to everyone, but when it comes to lying to yourself it is stupid. You love Nathan. The way you look at him, the way you flirt with him, the way you get fussy when he is with another girl...I'm not stupid." , my mouth fell open, what? I don't FLIRT with Nathan. I don't get fussy!

"I am not in love with Nathan. I do not flirt with him. Infact, I'm really annoyed with him at the moment!" I began to shout, she should stay out of my freaking buissness, the door opened and Nathan stumbled in,

"You're annoyed with me?" He asked, his voice trembling, "What have I done to you Gloria?" , oh dear- I'm screwed when he calls me Gloria. Megan get's up, signalling that she is leaving, Nathan steps out her way and closes the door behind her,

"I asked, what have I done Gloria." He growled, his eyes set in a angry stare, his fists clenched,

"I-I I didn't mean it, I was just saying it to get her off my back about being in love with you." I said, looking away from his eyes and to the floor,

"She was just worried! She thought that she was getting between us! She didn't think you're in love with me!" He shouted stepping towards me,

"Well then how come she told me that I flirt with you and that I look at you in a loving way and that I am lying to myself! Maybe she is getting between us! But you don't seem to give a fuck, you love spending time drooling over her, catering to her every need! I know she is beautiful Nathan, but when you asked me to come on holiday I thought it would involve you spending time with me!" I was getting worked up, once I get worked up there is no backing down, I get stubborn and blunt and harsh, but for once I didn't care,

"It's been a fucking day! I am only trying to be polite to her, can you stop being so jealous! Who says I cannot fall in love, just because you are a sad, lonely virgin, doesn't mean that I have to be- stupid bitch!" Nathan looked like he was overflowing with anger, his words hit me, sad, lonely virgin, stupid bitch, Nathan has never said anything like that to me before. What is happening to us?

"That was low Nathan. I-I can't beleive you said that." I almost whisper, holding back the tears that were fighting to fall,

"Well you deserve it! You only care about yourself! Have you considered my feelings?! Not once! You are a stupid, fat bitch, just don't even talk to me!" He spat with anger, before leaving. He left. I stood there shaking, not letting the tears fall. I grabbed my phone, my ipod and my shoes, pulling them on roughly. I pressed in Miles's number into my phone, pressing call,

"Hello, who's this?" answers the familiar voice I was craving,

"Uhh- It's Gloria." I reply, suddenly nervous,

"Oh broken toe girl!" He laughed, his laugh was perfect, like a song in a crazy way, "How can I help?" he asked,

"Would it be okay, if I came over yours?" I ask shyly,

"Of course, I'll come and meet you at the doctors?" he replys his voice friendly and warm, unlike Nathan's,

"Okay, thankyou!" . We hung up, I pulled on my hoody and pulled my bedroom door open, and ran down the two flights of stairs, i could here the lads and Megan in the lounge laughing, I left. I ran down the drive even though it hurt my toe. It took half an hour to get to the doctors because of my toe, I spotted the familiar blonde headed boy waiting for me.

"Hello, are you okay Gloria?" He asked in his sexy American accent,

"Just had an argument with my friend...I just had to get away." I smiled, he held out his hand so I took it, we started walking down the hill.

We ate more ice cream, and drunk more vile tasting beer. We played twenty questions. We hugged. We kissed. We made out. A for a while everything was perfect, but Nathan was always on the back of my mind.

"Let's not rush." Miles muttered pulling away from the kiss, I sighed in releif, I didn't want to go any further- I had only met him today. We cuddled on the sofa, he started plaiting my hair clumsily, and singing along to an unfamiliar tune,

"Who's this?" I ask lying back against his body,

"Me, I'm in a band." He muttered, awesome, they sound more like the type of band I would listen to,

"What do you play?" I asked turning my body to face him,

"Drums, I'm not very good." He said blushing, I punched his arm,

"Yeah, because you sound awful." I laughed. He took my face in his hands and planted a kiss on my forehead, "What do you want to do now?" he asked, I got to my feet,

"Let's go to mine!" I smiled at him.

It was later than I thought by the time we arrived at the house, I pushed open the door, all the lights were off apart from the single one coming from the kitchen. I took Miles's hand and walked into the kitchen, Nathan was sat at the breakfast bar, sipping on some tea. I looked at Miles and mouthed 'That's him.', he nodded to show he understood,

"Would you like a drink Miles?" I asked walking fully into the kitchen, Nathan looked up, looked at me, then at Miles and then back down at his tea,

"Uhh, yes please. Have you got any cola?" He asked, I pulled him over to the fridge,

"I think so baby!" I pulled it open leaving him standing behind me, he turned to Nathan,

"Hello, I'm Miles, nice to meet you.", atleast he is polite, Nathan looked up a fake smile plastered on his face,"You too mate.", then he looked back down. I turned around holding two cans of coke, I held one out to Miles, he went to take it but I pulled away,

"Thankyou?" Miles said and tried to take it again, I shook my head and pouted, he laughed and kissed me softly on the lips, I handed it to him, "Good boy! C'mon let's go upstairs.".

We trudged up both flights of stiars, and along we landing. There was note celotaped to my door,

I am so so so so sorry Ria. I cannot beleive I was such an ass hole towards you...can we talk asap. Love your very best friend.

I pulled the note down from the door, ripped it up, and walked to Nathans room which was on the same floor, I slid the peices under his door. Idiot. Me and Miles sat down on my bed, he kept giving me the 'are-you-okay' look, he pulled me into a hug, I lay back on him-  even though we have only known eachother I feel so close to him. 

"It will all be okay." He says quietly stroking my hair, I snuggle against him.

It wasn't long until we both were at the brink of sleep, he pulls his top and trousers off, I try to keep my eyes of his body, I pad over to my pjarma draw and pull out some shorts and a vest top and quickly change. The climb into bed , "Your parents know you are safe right?" I ask, he smiles,

"Yes, don't worry about me. Now come here." he envelopes me in a tight cuddle, my head resting on his bare chest. It wasn't long until I was sound asleep. 

A/N: I know Nathan seems a bit of an idiot in this part, but everyone loses it sometimes. Hope you enjoyed reading!! <3
