All Chapters of I Hate You, Let's Kiss: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

*Nathaniel*“How much do you usually drink babe?” “What do you mean?” I asked. “Like weekly, how much do you drink? Like how many days?”“I guess everyday. But not like a lot. Why?”“I just worry, Nathaniel. I know you keep a bottle of whiskey here and I feel like it’s been replaced multiple times since we started seeing each other.” Willow stated. “I’m twenty-one years old. It’s not uncommon for me to drink a lot, Will. I mean you can knock back quite a lot of alcohol too.”“I know, but there’s a difference with you Nathaniel. Your family history. Scott says it all the time. Addiction is-”“In my blood, I know. I promise I don’t have a problem, Willow. I just enjoy drinking and that’s it. Tonight I will keep it to just wine.” I assured her.“Good. I want to make sure that you really shine tonight.” Willow smiled. “Wow, you really do care about me huh?” I asked“Of course I do babe. I want the best for you. And like I said before I want to compete with you when you’re at your best

*Nathaniel*Lord, what was Shauna going to do to me next?She had been torturing me all week. Tacks on my chair, locking me in the supply closet, spilling coffee on me. She was insane!“Aren't you tired yet?” I asked. “I don’t know, are you?” Shauna questioned. “This is insane Shauna! You realize you are angry at me because I care about my girlfriend?”“You think I’m stupid, don’t you Nathaniel? You only asked me out because you thought it would get rid of me.”I sighed. “Okay, that’s true, but-”“But nothing. I don’t like being played. So you can fix this one of two ways.”“And those are?”“Fuck me again or…fuck me again.” She smirked. “You’re out of your mind.”“Just one time and then I’ll leave you alone.”I couldn't even consider it. That would absolutely crush Willow and I couldn’t stand that. I never wanted to hurt her. I guess I would have to take this harassment instead. It was somehow better.“I can’t do that, Shauna. I’m completely committed to Willow.” I said. “Too bad

*Willow*Hitting an airbag hurts like hell. Something built in for our safety shouldn’t be that painful. I groaned as my head slammed back against the headrest. It took a moment for me to truly process what happened. I looked over at Nathaniel who was slumped over the steering wheel. His head was bleeding so badly. Oh fuck!My mind was racing a mile a minute. We crashed because Nathaniel had been drinking. No way he would pass a breathalyzer test right now. He would get charged with a DUI and possibly reckless endangerment for driving with me in the car for this. This could absolutely wreck his entire future. Getting kicked out of the internship, incredibly bad press for the Wrenfords, possible expulsion from school, jail time. I had to do something.I undid my seatbelt and opened my door grateful that it hadn’t been smashed shut. As I stood up I realized my head was bleeding too, but I didn’t have time to address that. I limped around the car to Nathaniel’s side. His door wouldn’

*Nathaniel*“Thank you for picking me up, Nathaniel.”“No problem at all sir, it’s my pleasure.” I smiled. “So will Jude be joining us?”“No, he has a prior engagement. Some other business dinner.” Russell stated. “I see. Um, is Jude married?”Russell laughed. “No, unfortunately not. He likes to play the field. He gets that from me.”“Interesting. I like to play the field myself.” I lied.“I knew I saw myself in you.”“Yeah…Jude said he saw himself in Willow.”“Yes, he does. He has a very deep interest in her and her career.” Russell informed me. “Well, Willow sure is something special.” I commented. “Yes, I suppose she is. I’m sure Jude will be able to help her. He likes taking people under his wing and doing all he can for them.”“How nice of him.”--Seeing Jude’s shocked face was so thrilling to me. He thought he was going to get away with wining and dining my girlfriend? He had another thing coming.“Nathaniel!” Willow said. “Hi…um and hello Mr. Howe.”“You can call me Russel

*Willow*“What the fuck are you doing here?” I asked. “I could ask you the same thing. What is going on?”“Nathaniel, you need to go now!”“Tell me what’s going on.” He demanded as he stood to his feet.“No! Go home!”“Willow?” Levi called. “Babe, are you okay?”“Babe?” Nathaniel hissed.“I’m fine, I’ll be right in!” I called before turning back to Nathaniel. “Go home, I’m so fucking serious.”“You have to tell me-”“Now Nathaniel!”I think he could tell how serious I was. He sighed and went to his car and drove away. God he was insane.I grabbed the photo album before going back inside.“You okay?” Levi questioned. “Yeah, I thought I lost an earring out there, but it’s all good.” I smiled. Levi grabbed my hand and pulled me into the living room. I tried to be present but all I could think about was Nahaniel. I should be pissed he followed me, but I was keeping something from him.Maybe it was time to tell him.--“I’m worried about Miranda.” Karlie whispered. “Why? She seems rea
