บททั้งหมดของ The Deal With Him: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Hailey"Relax." I giggled at how flustered Vickie was getting. Her hands a moving mess over the counter between us as I prepared a new cup. "Don't tell me this is how you were the first time.""N-no, of course not." "Then?" finishing the ice-cream cup I placed a small plastic spoon on it and turned towards the costumer with a bright smile. "There you go. It's 4'95."She handed it and took the cup heading where the rest of her friends had gathered. The place wasn't that filled now that we were in November. In summer it gets handful, but right now it's rather a chill work. So my boss trusted me alone in the shop. Most of the time ever since mid October I used all this free time to do my homework or read or even watch Netflix on certain hours of extreme inactivity. Now it was a good time, it was late enough for there to be someone around, but not too much so people arrived on their hanging outs and I had to fully pay my 100% senses to the work and still get overpowered. Which was also

Hailey"I don't get it."I sighed at Vickie when she again refused to accept what I was saying. "We got this deal so we could kiss and it won't mean more than it.""And you're okay with it?"My stomach curled, but I looked back at her from my notebook I was holding on my knees and lifted one brow. "And why wouldn't I be?""Oh, I don't know. Maybe because you've been chasing after Justin since forever and now it totally looks like Nate is your rebound."My hands clenched almost crumbling the paper, but I forced myself to relax before she noticed. "I don't know what you're talking about." it came harder than I intent and she noticed judging by her frown, but I didn't give her time to lecture me some more. For a second the cold breeze curled around us in the silence of the backyard and I knew she was judging my snap, probably taking the wrong conclusions. In a second I'd closed my notebook and was on my feet, "I'll see you tomorrow.""Oh, I..." just as the bell rang over our heads. Just

To my relief he smiled against my lips. "Alright." Nate panted as well, each outtake of air hitting my heated skin and eliciting toe-curling sensations that caressed my spine. "Let me check yours..." he bend over to take my own notes from their forgotten spot by me leg, making me bend along pushed by his chest with a surprised giggle. He then got up from behind me and I pushed my knees to my chest, now that his warmth was gone very aware of how exposed I was. "Wow, look at that." Nate dropped them on the table with his, turning with that malicious smirk and walking back. "All correct.""And how would you know?" My eyes narrowed playfully as he reached the hem of the mattress and kneeled on it, making it dipped. "You've haven't even glance at them."Nate smirked. "Lucky guess." and grabbed my ankles, pulling so I fell on my back with a gasp and in few short seconds he was hovering over me. He smiled down and the butterflies in my stomach became painful. "You want a prize too?" Mesmeri

"Okay, I'm literally exhausted, so if you're all good and stuff I'll go pass out with your permission. You're sure you're good, man?""Yes.""Okay," he smiled knowingly at us and spun around to walk now determined. "I leave you in good hands then. You know where to find me.""Nate," Hailey snapped my attention back at her and I noticed her eyes on my side, concern all over her face. "You won't stop touching it, can I have a look?""No.""Come on, you're such a child..." she gently peeled my hand from there, creating a tingling sensation where our skins met and successfully distracting me enough for her to lift the hem of my shirt to see the first dark mark. "Oh my... are those bruises? Do they hurt?""A little..." I say before realizing I did and quickly covered it with a smirk, pushing down the fabric. "You can always kiss them better."She blushed giving Oliver a side glance, but he was already snoring at the other end of the space. Now that is a fast sleeper, I thought with envy.

Especially when Instagram existed and it was easy to know who attend yesterday's Seth's friendly gathering...But he wasn't one to take the hint -or at least he was really good at bluntly ignoring them.The bench dipped a bit under a new weight and I knew he'd sit by my side. And for some reason him staying churned my guts in both a bad and a very good way. "Hey, is this yours?" without looking I could tell by the sounds he'd picked up my barely touched turkey sandwich."I don't want it.""You don't? But it looks so yummy."I shrugged, my stomach couldn't be more closed right now so eating wasn't an option. "You can have it, then. I don't mind."I heard him pulling down the wrapper and munching a bite. "Yep, it is yummy." I rolled my eyes at his mouth-full answer, at least one of us was appreciating my mother's work. I felt him poking my arm. "Now, what's up with you?""Nothing.""Yeah, like I would believe that." there was another poke and I shrugged my arm, tingles burning the skin
