River’s POV
“Um... I gladly would have never interrupted this fine moment but you know the doorbell is ringing and you got mad last time I opened it without your permission.“Nate laughed awkwardly and I quickly pulled away from Ethan’s grip without taking a second to look at the expression on his face, walking towards the door.
I opened the door looking at directly ahead but there was no sight of anyone so I decided to close the door and midway I heard a bark causing me to jump.
I narrowed my gaze to find a golden retriever pup laying on our green doormat and before I knew it Nate was in front of me holding the dog.
“Please, Mom can we keep it!!!!“Nate exclaimed petting the pup and I simply smiled.
This was probably’s Ethans doing but I decided to act oblivious to the fact.
Ever since I was little I loved dogs but despised cats.I always felt like they had the devil hidden within them and found no reason what so ever to like them.
“You know puppy’s are a lot of responsibility, right?“I questioned him to make sure he was up for it even though I knew James and I would be doing most of the work but I wanted him to get used to responsibility.
I did not want Nate to be one of those rich spoiled brats even though I knew his father, James, My mom, brother, and Mateo will do exactly the opposite of what I tell them.
Ever since we were in high school James would always do whatever pleased him even if it meant violating the rules but if it wasn’t for him I would have never got through juggling work with the house, and Nate.
“Ok fine but early in the morning, tomorrow before I leave we have to go to the vet and get all the supplies necessary for him to survive,“I explained and he jumped for joy as Ethan gave me a puzzled look.
I glanced at the clock
9:55 pm
“Nate come on hun its time for bed,” I said, ignoring Ethan’s look.
“Mom can Eth.....can dad sleepover?“He asked, balling his big blue eyes while making that cute grin of his, Ethan now had a smile wider than all the bodies of water combined.
“Im not so sure Ethan would not want stay over.“I practically threatened to scold Ethan and trying to keep a smile for Nate.
“No I would lov-” He began but I kicked him with my heel.“fu- owwww”
“See he said no.” I said, trying to give a disappointed look but the grin was overshadowing.
“What I did not say no I was-”
I needed an excuse ga damn it, somehow, so he would not sleep over. I really did not feel like seeing his face in the morning especially if we were going to talk. I was not ready to talk.
“Yeah yeah dont remember you ahhh said um.....you told me you had work to do,” I explained, cocking my head in his direction.
“No no I do not-”
“But our beds are uncomfortable I am so sure you would wake up broken.”
“I’m sure I can manage.“He smiled and to this point, my eyes were throwing daggers at his. I was literally getting sick of him, so sick I was getting ready to through him outside.
“But we live near a train station Im sure your sleep-”
“I will mange-”
“But our food is gross.”
“We will by some in the morning.”
No, no no no River don’t let him play with your mind, I told myself.
It took me a while before I replied and each second I took longer somehow his smile widened even more.
“No thats not true,” I said, bringing my lips inward of my mouth so I would not smile.
“Really.“He replied, in a seductive manner stepping closer as I stepped back.
“Mmmm Hmmm.” I nodded and he chuckled.
“Then why aren’t you talking.“He winked and I shrugged.
Before I knew it, I was against the wall with his lips against my neck.
