Confessions

NORA'S POV

I enjoyed the movie alot,especially since nate kept finding similarities to me and marsai Martin,

"she's sassy just like you" he'd say and I'd laugh,

he held my hand throughout the movie while drawing invisible patterns with his fingers,and when the movie ended he suggested we sit and chill for a bit,I was so engrossed in eating my hamburger(yunno,because food is importanter) that I almost thought I didn't hear him

"I love you nora"

I literally choked! I had to quickly grab my fanta and gulp it down greedily,only then did I face him,

he was smiling "if I knew I was going to get that reaction I should have confessed earlier"

I didn't have it in me to fire back a retort,I just sat there,when I finally found my voice I said "you are joking right?"

nate suddenly turned serious,"no I'm not,I've tried to avoid this for the longest possible because we are best friends,but I can't keep lying to myself,I love you nora"

my heart was break dancing at such an alarming rate I nearly thought I'd faint

"I don't know what to say" I began

"you don't have to say anything"

"I know you know I have feelings for you,strong feelings,but right now my feelings are all jumbled up,maybe I just need time to be certain and sort out my emotions"i told him

nate reached out from across the table to hold my hand

"babes,I'm still your best friend remember,and trust me I can understand,I'll always be here for you"

I squeezed his hand,"thanks nate"

"finish up let's get going"

"Epa abeg nor rush me o"I said to him

the atmosphere was less tense

"you nor well o " he muttered

i grinned at him,"alright let's go" I said while I finished my snack.

The cab we boarded dropped us off at my junction,nate insisted on walking me home,since it was getting quite late.

while we strolled down the road,

nate with all seriousness asked "nora what's all this crust on your lip and mouth,this mumu girl Will eat and not clean her mouth" he teased

I smiled,then I stopped walking,"oya show me where the crusts is and don't be an ass" I said while giving him a full view of my face so he could help me clean my face.

he reached out to wipe something off the corner of my mouth,smiled and in a split second smashed his lips on mine,I was taken aback momentarily,but nate was already kissing me,giving me no room to back out,like I would even dream of it,his lips tasted of Sprite and sugar...very sweet,I'm guessing the snacks he had earlier,i found myself kissing him back.

nate kissed me so passionately I almost forgot we were standing by the road,yes it was a bit dark,but still it was the road to my freaking house!

warm heat was starting to pull at my core and my toes are curling up in my sandals,by the time he released me,my legs were shaking I had to lean on him.

you sneaky cow! I wanted to say,but I couldn't find my voice,he had managed to make me speechless twice in one evening,nate just gave me a cheeky grin,"I've wanted to do that so bad since our first kiss" he said

I smiled "hmm"

"you are intoxicating" he said while sniffing my neck

"nateeee" I whined "we are on the road,I have a feeling you want to put me in trouble"

"I'm sorry you are just too irresistible,I think you should blame you " he smirked

"abegi" I said

he simply intertwined his fingers with mine and dragged me along

I don't know what this feeling was but I was content somewhat.

when we got to my gate,nate wanted to follow me in,I quickly objected

"relax e,its edosa I'm coming to see,I need to get something from his PC" he said to me

"okay o" then I allowed him in

"wait in the living room,let me go and get him from his room " I told him while going to the direction of edosa and omoruyi's room

I wanted to kneel down and kiss the floor in appreciation when I got in and noticed mom wasn't home,God was on my side abeg

I was thinking of how I was going to break the gist of nate kissing me to ese when I see her,edosa's room wasn't locked and I didn't bother to knock,I just barged in,I wish I didn't...
