Chapter Sixteen: Friends

Nathan's POV

"Buddy, no no no!" Chris sighed. He placed the bottle of wine on the counter. His facial expression is borderline funny. I almost want to laugh but then I'm tired from not sleeping too well. The sofa isn't comfortable. I even tried the floor. "What are you doing there? Didn't you get any?"

"Sleep?"

"No blondie. Didn't you get laid?"

"Buddy you're the blond. I simply have silver hair."

"Point taken but still..." He looked at me expectantly making weird expressions.

I woke up six times to walk to Marianna's door but I couldn't bring myself to enter. It seems to them like I'm not trying but the battle I'm going through is intense. I want her badly yet after thirteen years, Nicko may be more experienced than I am. I have no idea where to start. I don't want to mess up the 'first time'.

"Nothing."

"You need a drink."<
