Afraid

NATHANIEL'S POV

We got inside the house, and everywhere was so quiet. I'm sure it's past 11pm now.

Dawn looked me nervously, "wait here, I have something to give you".

I smiled at my baby, and bent down slightly to meet her height, "No problem, but what is it?".

She smiled and pecked me instead, "it's a secret".

I laughed as she ran off.

'I wish she can show her cute side only to me'

I started pacing to and fro, waiting for her, when Peter her 'supposed-to-be' driver started coming towards me. I don't know why, but Dawn really hates this guy. I mean, he looks normal, I guess?, but she despises him a lot, and it's really obvious. But why doesn't she just fire him?

"Hey, you must be in cloud nine, since you're able to take her on a date, isn't it?"

I was getting irritated by his presence already, "what do you mean?", I asked, ready to give someone a punch

He shrugged before walking closer to me, "she and I have been together for long, I taught her everything she knows. So even if you want to try out any more fun thing with her, you obviously will still be a second".

I grabbed him by the collar, "how dare you say such things about her?, she doesn't even like you, she hates..no.., she despises you", my anger was fueled by disgust with this thing

He didn't even flinch, instead he laughed, irritating me the more, "yes, she hates me now. But I know you came here with an ulterior motive, and when I find out what that is, I'll be her knight in shining armor instead, and everything of hers will be mine instead"

I punched him on the face, he fell on the ground, oh my gosh. It wasn't enough, I need to destroy him, so he will never think of Dawn in that manner again.

I was about punching the life out of him, when a soft hand pulled me back, "are you hurt?, did he do anything to you?"

I looked at this girl I came to care for so much, the one that makes my day brighter each time she smiles.

Knowing that she worries about me, makes me happy, although I don't ever want her to get worried.

"I'm good babe, he's the one that's gonna be sorry". I glared at that thing, who immediately scurried away when Dawn came.

She held my hand, and pulled me upstairs to her room, and we sat on her bed.

She cupped my face, "I'm sorry, if he tries anything with you again, just tell me, you won't see him again", she promised

I smiled and pecked her delicious lips that I've become addicted to, "don't mind him, he's no match for me at all, what was it that you wanted to give me?".

I changed the topic, as I prayed that she didn't hear when Peter said I had an ulterior motive. I don't want to remember it any more

'I just want to be with her'

She smiled and brought the blue box beside her, and gave it to me, "open it"

I opened the box, and brought out the two necklaces inside, they were very beautiful, but simple, but really fancy.

The smaller one had a key pendant, and the longer one was a heart shaped keyhole, but if you look closely, you'll see it shaped into some alphabets, "MN?", I asked

She nodded nervously, "Yeah, our middle names, M as in May, and N as in Nathaniel, the one with the key is for you, like saying, you always hold the key to my heart".

'Oh my gosh'

She continued her rambling, "I'm sorry that it's tacky, I thought it was beautiful when I designed it, and when they made it also. But if you don't lik-"

I don't know if it was the overwhelming emotion I was feeling, or just my instincts, but I kissed Dawn, wanting her to know how much she meant to me

"I love it a lot, it's not tacky at all, it's pretty just like you", I told her the truth

I raised the necklace with our name initials, "May i?"

She nodded, and packed her hair up with her hands, so I had access to hook the necklace around her neck.

'Wow'

That's what I thought first. It looked perfect on her. How come she designed this?, is she really good at everything?

I hooked mine around my neck as well, and immediately I loved it

"Thank you so much", I held her hands, "I'll make it up to you, I promise"

She smiled at looked at me in the eye, "Chris, all I want is for you never to leave me, although i know you wouldn't. But that is all i want, do not even think of leaving me"

'Why do i feel so much afraid? I can never leave her, i don't even want her to find out why I'm here. I'm afraid of her leaving me instead, now that i know i can't live my life without her

What did I get myself into?, how did I get myself into this mess?, I can't lose her,

She can't find out, no she mustn't

I'd better find a way to get Dawn get rid of that Peter guy, or I'll do it myself'

But for now, it's I and my princess

"So it's our first day today, isn't it?, I asked my baby

She smiled and nodded her shyly, "I guess so"

I looked straight in her eyes, and i don't know the force that was pulling me, but i found myself leaning closer to Dawn, until i felt my lips brush against hers

I pulled her waist closer to deepen the kiss, while she hooked her arms around my neck.

Her lips were like drugs, making me get addicted every day.

'Oh!, someone, make me stop!'

If I don't stop now, I don't know what will happen next

And that's when the hell of my phone rang, breaking the sweet atmosphere in the room

We pulled back, gasping for breath. I looked at the caller's ID, and it was Daniel.

'I'm so gonna mess this guy up'

"Goodnight babe, I have to pick his call", I pecked Dawn good night, before coming out of her room.
