When I got to Nate’s apartment after hanging out with Georgie it was clear he was NOT happy with me. He opened the door, his usually cuddly nature nonexistent, Uh-Oh.
“Hey.” I said, giving him a kiss, which he pulled away from VERY quickly.
“Hi.”
A Painfully awkward silence occurred. He hadn’t invited me in so I was just standing in his doorway.
“...so, can I come in or?” I asked carefully.
He moved slightly and I walked in, ok so he was mad at me. I might be a little late to the game, but I can catch on to the rules pretty quickly.
Again I stood awkwardly, looking at his lounge room. I turned around to see Nate watching me.
“Ok, so you’re obviously mad at me.” I said I tried to keep my voice light, I really wasn’t good at arguments and one was definitely brewing.
“Yep.” He said walking right passed me and plonking himself on the couch.
“Hmm ok. Why?” I asked following him.
“Really Paris, you have no clue?” he asked.
“Well... I saw you last night, and we were all having fun.” I answered honestly.
“Yeah, you were having a great time. So was Brett.” He replied angrily.
I couldn’t help it; I rolled my eyes and scoffed. “We were all having fun Nate.”
“Oh yeah we all had a great time, I’m sure if you laughed any louder at Brett’s jokes you would have cracked a rib.”He said standing up and getting some water.
“Nathan, Brett and I are just friends! I would never, ever jeopardise what we have.”I sighed.
He seemed to calm down a little. “I feel like an ass Paris, but the way he looks at you...”He said.
“Don’t feel like an ass Nate, Brett is just a friend. I don’t think of him like that and he doesn’t think of me like that, if you spent more time with him you’d realise that.” I said.
“So your gonna keep hanging out with him then?” He asked his tone harsh once again.
“Uh...yeah. He is my friend Nate.” I said slightly aggravated.
Then it got worse, we both got overly heated, about a completely silly subject. I ended up leaving, the issues remain unresolved...I know that Brett and I had a weird moment, but I just wished Nathan trusted ME enough to realise that I would NEVER do anything to screw up this relationship.
He obviously doesn’t realise how much I care about him.
I feel like it would be the same situation if a girl (who wasn't a fan) got really close as a "friend" with Nate. I know we think boys overreact sometimes, but I think women know women and it goes the same that men know men. I hope Paris stops hanging out with someone who is so clearly taken with her.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I blame Nathan. I realize that she and Brett work together, but the hugs and kisses need to stop immediately. mum
