Chapter 16

•Robert's POV•

After another hour of sleep‚ I wake up in bed. Still in Nathan's arms and looking at his face now‚ I can tell that he didn't sleep a wink last night.

I gently push his arms off me‚ before I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I take my clothes off and get ready to have a shower‚ yet as soon as I step inside‚ Nathan comes in behind me. His muscular arms wrapping around my my chest before his lips close around my name.

"Morning baby." His long and hard penis sliding between my thighs letting the tip glide across my balls. The feeling makes me curl my toes a bit.

"You do know it's afternoon right?" I say to him and chuckle as I look back. He's making me hard too. "Want to go again?"

"Hell yes!"

After another hour spent in the shower‚ we finally finish. I get dressed in my gym clothes‚ because today was workout day. I let Nathan wear some of my clothes too that also sit more tight around him.

"You should probably bring your stuff over here." I suggest.

"Or we can get a place of our own together?" He raised an eyebrow as he walked to me and pecked my lips.

I can't help but blush at that thought. It doesn't like such a bad idea‚ but wouldn't that mean we'd have to go official? I mean won't people find it weird how we suddenly chose to stay in a house together?

"It doesn't need to happen now." Nathan says almost as if he immediately just read my thoughts. "Come on. I don't to be late and seeing you dressed like that makes me hard."

"You're one to talk!" I smirk and agree with him. The longer we stay here the lesser the chance of us ever making it out of here with our clothes still on.

So I head out first‚ also because I want to make a protein shake for the both of us. After getting the shake and water ready‚ I put it all in one bag. Nathan appears by the door smiling at me with his arms crossed above his chest. The smile and that heartwarming look in his eyes is heartwarming for me to see.

We both head out next. Time at the gym went well as I expected. Nathan and I are normally partners and with him there‚ there was always something motivating me. Some would think that we were just best friends rivaling it all out‚ but now it's more about impressing Nathan.

Today wasn't leg day‚ but I went on ahead and did legs in anyway. It was fun to see him stare at my legs and ass like that and almost as if he knew I had a damn leg fetish if my one‚ the fucker went on ahead and pulled up his leg sleeves and then he made me watch him do squats.

Pretty distracting and I was probably sure a few noticed my gawking at Nathan‚ more than anything else. Even the females that walked here with their huge asses and huge tits didn't get my attention of this man. It's like my whole world just changed that night we had our first time.

After spending a few hours at the gym‚ we both call it a day. We take our showers in seperate stalls‚ because we might end up fucking again and then we get dressed up in some extra clean clothes left in our lockers.

We leave the gym and go for a drive‚ before I stop the car at the mall. I figured we could have lunch here instead of at my house. We are a bit behind with time since usually we have lunch around midday‚ but it's now close to sunset.

"You know funny story…" Nathan says once he stepped one foot out of the car‚ "Yesterday Dillan called me. He tried to blackmail me."

I pause and look at him. Just hearing that name makes me want to smash my head into the window. I might be over the whole thing with Desna‚ but that guy annoys the hell out of me. I don't taking backstabbers very lightly and now I wonder what he wanted from Nate.

"What did he want?" I then ask him.

"Just threatened to tell you that I knew about him and Desna‚ if I didn't go to this beach party he invited me too. Clearly he was desperate to have me there so he could be all in with the ladies."

I roll my eyes and unbuckle my seatbelt. I don't find it surprising at all. Dillan always was a people's pleaser. But since I Nathan already told me the truth‚ I now know that he won't bother Nate again. Nate can take care of himself‚ but I won't hesitate breaking that little shit's nose again. "Next time he calls you again to invite you to some party…tell him we both will be there."

"What?"

I step out of the car and close the door after dropping my wallet‚ phone and keys in my pocket. Nathan has stepped out too and is looking at me with wide eyes once he came around the Jeep.

"Are you serious?" He asked again looking puzzled. "What are you up to Robert?" He glares suspiciously.

"It Desna and Dillan won't get the message we give it to them." I shrug and calmly take his hand‚ holding it in mine. "Maybe then they will leave us alone."

Nate's mouth dropped open. "You want us to go official!?"

"Yes. The whole world will now know you and I are an item. No more hiding." I add with a bit more confidence this time. And then we walk and in hand to the nearest restaurant. This will now be our second official date.

After entering most eyes were on us. We headed over to the nearest table and got seated‚ before the polite waitress came to hand us the menus.

"Good afternoon sir. Welcome to Capsy's." The female said dressed in her uniform.

"Thank you." I take the menu booklet before she hands the other to Nathan. Pretty used to people preferring to socialize with me instead of Nathan. He's just sitting there with folded arms having a look which closely resembles a grumpy look.

Once she leaves us to choose our orders till she comes back later to take them‚ I slowly open the menu and stare at all the long list of names. Most of them have these weird fancy names‚ probably in French or Italian. These days most fancy restaurant are obsessed with how fancy French dishes sound‚ so why not have any of these on the menu…

Makes them no different from my family that cares more about their reputation and status than anything. But now I know it was never about that when it came to Nathan and I think I should probably tell them.

"Something wrong?" Nathan asks me.

I notice he's been watching me for a while now and probably noticed I was deep in thought. I take a moment to think what exactly to say and then I just let it all out. "My parents never hated you because your family was poor and I was friends with a kid of theirs that didn't meet our family's high standards‚ but because something huge happened between them. And now I think they resent you because of that."

"Eh…and why exactly have you come to that conclusion?"

"My nom was at my place yesterday and confirmed it herself. There is a huge secret and I bet Robyn knows about it too…just think about it. It all makes sense now…"

Nathan looks around and then at me. Obviously he is stirring something up in that head of his and I can see that he believes me too. "You're right…I mean what if you're right‚ if they wanted us to know what it is‚ shouldn't your mother have told you since you already found out that there was more to it than they showed?"

"Well all I know is that they probably tried to throw us off track and whatever happened back then has something to do with us. And I will get to the bottom of this."

"We will get to the bottom of this." Nathan squeezed my hand and that alone showed that he was with me in this. But I could see there was a slight hesitation in his eyes. He wanted to cut ties with his family and here I come to ruin that.

I don't want to force him into anything‚ so I gently withdraw my hand. "You sure about this?"

"Yes. I am with you every step of the way."

"…even if we have to…confront your parents ourselves. I mean it might come to that if there is no other option."

Nathan clenches his jaws and sits back. As I thought‚ he won't be going along with this that easily. Not when his parents are involved too. "Then I hope it doesn't come to that. I'm sure you can ask your sister‚ she always looked like she had a spot for you even though she is the devil's incarnate."

"Robyn?" Is he serious? "Since when does that witch have a spot for me? She has a spot for my dad. Not me."

"Still worth trying. And there are other ways to know too. I will investigate on my part too…Shado can help."

It's the second time he's mentioned her name today. I would like to know who this Shado is‚ not that I feel threatened. He already said she had a girlfriend so she must be lesbian I assume.

"Okay. I'll go talk with Robyn tomorrow morning and see what I can find. In the meantime….can we order something already!"

"Sure!" Nathan chuckled and then he looked around for the waitress. Once she sees him‚ he calls her over. She came rather quickly‚ her notebook and pen in hand. "Two nice warm plates of your chicken lasagna please."

The female writes down and then looks at us two obviously waiting for more orders. "Anything else?"

"No that will be all."

She nodded and then hastily headed over to the kitchen. I can't help but grin as I sit forward playfully nudging his foot with mine. "Lasagna for lunch. Seriously? And you want to preach to me about screwing your diet!"

"Don't get cocky! I only want to spoil my cute boyfriend!"

"Aww you find me cute."

"Really now?" He raised an eyebrow‚ but I do notice the twisted and cocky grin appearing on his face too.

Not so long soon after‚ the waitress arrives with our meals. The food tasted great here and we only had some white wine for a beverage. One glass was enough for me‚ because honestly‚ I did not look forward to staring at the face of the toilet again this time.

Once we were done eating‚ Nathan paid again this time. I could've paid‚ but he beat me to it and normally we take turns to the point where it just becomes a habit. We are not the kind that tosses or shows of money around‚ my friendship with Nathan has taught me that money isn't everything. Despite it being my family's everything.

"Where would you like to go next?" He then asked as we stayed for awhile longer‚ just so the food could digest a little. "The Waffle House?"

"Haha very funny!" I give my sarcastic remark. Of course I know he's only joking around and it's like I can take any more food in my stomach‚ otherwise I would've literally kidnapped him and take him there myself. Not like he would ever refuse once his nose catches the smell of freshly baked waffles.

Even Nathan has to admit that those waffles are irresistible.

That aside I think we should call it a day and go home. I really wonder what it would be like if we shared our own home‚ but I don't want to rush everything. We can do with sleepovers for now.

"Let's go to your place. I could do with some time away from my house!" I insist as I stand up and nod to the exit.

Nathan stands up aswell and walks alongside me to the doors before he wraps an arm around me. It's better than having his hand in mine‚ so obviously I don't mind. We just walk out the door together I go to the first exit of the mall we find.

But as soon as we were about to walk out‚ a loud familiar voice squealed from behind us. "Uncle Rwobert!!"
