Let me protect you

Back to how we were

* Elle's POV *

Me and Nathan fell asleep in the hallway up against the wall. I couldn't hold it in anymore. But somehow he knew. He probably just knows me too well. I just want to move on and forget about it, I just want to pretend it never happened.

My head was leaned into Nathan's neck and his was on top of mine. I opened my eyes and just stared at the wall. Then it hit me. Where is Leah? "Nath?" I asked. "mhm" he replied with a yawn. "Where's leah?" I asked. "With Tom and Kels" he said. "Phew" I sighed.

He chuckled to himself.

I stared at our feet. He was taller then me so his feet were further down then mine. I stretched my legs and he laughed. "What are you doing?" ," I'm trying to reach your feet" I squirmed. I stretched my feet more and slipped and fell so now I was lying on the floor. "Ow" I moaned. Nathan burst out laughing. He lifted me up bridal style and brought me into the the kitchen. He put me down and I started to make a cuppa. I flicked on the kettle.

I watched as Nathan opened the fridge and started sizzling the bacon. He turned around and I walked into his chest. My arms wrapped around his neck and his went around my waist. I was on my tippy toes. His hands went around my thighs and lifted them around his waist. "I love you" he whispered into my hair. I smiled looking at him. "I love you too" I said.

He pulled out his phone and he held it up. We leaned our foreheads together with our noses touching. We both smiled and he took the picture. I held his neck and kissed him. He kissed me back.

"What do you want to do today?" I asked. "Show me around" he smiled. "We can go to the pier" I said. "Okay, wait are we going to go swimming? I don't have any of my stuff" he said. I sighed. "Me neither I don't know what I'll do" I shrugged sarcastically. "Are you serious?" he laughed. "Yeah but let's go at night!" I said all excited. "Oh lord" he joked.

We had our breakfast and I got dressed into a pair of shorts and white vest top. My hair was down and I had my sunglasses on. Nathan was in a pair of 3/4 lengths and his misfits tshirt. I walked down the hall as he was gelling up his hair. "Can I do it?" I asked. "My hair?" he asked. "What else?" I laughed. "Well..." He smirked. "Nath!" I hit his arm. "Fine but if it looks weird I'm never making you tea again" he joked. "You love me too much to not make me tea" I laughed. He rolled his eyes. He knew it was true. I put my fingers in his gell. "Elle that's way to too much!" he said loudly. I wiped some away and then started to gel up his hair. It looked amazing. "You look like a proper man" I joked. "Do I not normally look like one?" he laughed.

"No you're baby Nath for a reason" I laughed. "Brilliant" he huffed. He looked in the mirror. "I like it" he smiled. "I should be a hair dresser" I smiled back. "No you're in a band with me and that's all" he said pulling me closer. He leaned down and kissed me.

We walked around the village. "So that's the tiny post office then that's the shop and there's 5 pubs" I said smiling. Yeah there's more pubs then anything. "Elle there's more pubs then people" he laughed. I laughed as we walked down the road. He took my hand and our fingers intertwined. Suddenly my phone started beeping and we had phone signal. "Praise the lord" Nathan said. I checked my phone and texted Tom to see if Leah was okay.

I saw that Nathan tweeted the picture he took of us that morning.

@NathanTheWanted you'll never know how much I love you ❤️

I blushed looking at it. He's such a cutie. Nathan came up behind me and kissed my temple. I checked his account and saw other tweets.

@NathanTheWanted I love you so much. I'll hurt them for hurting you

I miss you please talk to me. I want to help you

It made me happy how much he cared.

But now I'm letting it go.

We walked further down until we reached a playground. I stood up to go down the slide. "You'll find us chasing the sun!" I sang. I was having a high school musical moment. We both started to sing along together until I changed it. I pulled him into a little play house. "I found you in the darkest hour" I sang. I continued until he straddled over me and I smiled. He started to sing his solo which turned me on so bad. He crashed his lips into mine and I smiled into the kiss. I held his neck as his body pushed against mine. The kiss got deeper and his hand moved up my leg. I moaned. His hand moved up my leg and went to my stomach.

The pain suddenly hit me. "Nath stop" I said sitting up. "What's wrong?" he asked. "That's what he did I.. I thought.." I stuttered. Nathan held my face. "Shhhh love I won't ever hurt you" he said. I nodded and we walked back home.

That night I got changed and walked in to see Nathan watching TV. "Let's go" I smiled. "Where?" he asked. "Just come on" I moaned. He got up and I took his hand and we walked outside. "Elle I can't see" he moaned. "Don't worry Sid" I laughed. I brought him down to the pier. You could hear the water crashing against the shore. I dragged him down the little beach beside it. You could see down there. "How did I know?" he laughed. I kissed him and he smiled.

I stripped down into my underwear and Nathan did the same. "We're going in our underwear?" he asked. I shook my head. I unhooked my bra and took off my knickers. He stared at me in shock. I smiled and dived into the water. The cold water felt amazing. I felt like I was washing away the bad. I let out a big sigh. I stood up an looked out to see the lighthouse flashing. Suddenly I felt Nathan arms around my waist. He wasn't wearing anything. We both fell into the water with our shoulders below the water.

"Did you pee?" he laughed. "What? no!" I defended. "If you did it's okay I don't care" he joked. "Nath I didn't pee" I laughed. "Okay" he said sarcastically. "I didn't" I moaned. "Okay whatever you sayy" he said annoyingly. I huffed and he swam back to me. He pulled me into him and kissed me passionately.

"I love you"

"I love you too"
