In a Perfect World, Kate Carlson [classic romance novels .TXT] 📗

what you see?" He replies with a smile playing on his face. I blush and quickly go back into the bathroom and shut the door. Holy shit was he hot! Ugh! But this was my best friend we were talking about. I CAN'T and WILL NOT think about him that way. I waited a few more minutes before I peeked out the door to see him fully dressed and flipping through the channels on my TV. 

"Okay, I'm coming out!" I warned him as I cautiously stepped out of the bathroom. I walked to the bed and sat on the bed next to him. I stared at the TV screen not really paying attention to it. I started to think about Nathan and his godlike body. As soon as I realized what I was thinking about I shook my head to clear my thoughts. 

"Em? You okay?" I heard Nate ask as he sat up and shook my shoulder. Apparently I had frowned when clearing my mind and Nate had seen that.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking, no need to be concerned!!" I looked at him and smiled. I sat back and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt his arm go around my waist and pull me closer. My breathing started going faster and I cursed myself at letting him get to me like that.

"Are you sure you're okay Em? You've been acting a bit different around me lately." Nate said.

"Nate I'm fine I promise. I'm just tired still." I said looking up at him. As soon as I did I regretted it. His gorgeous face was like two inches from mine and I couldn't look away. I then realized that I had unconsciously moved closer and our noses were just about to touch. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I licked my lips. I decided to go for it and I leaned in and kissed Nate. At first I could tell he was shocked but then I felt his arms pull me closer and he tangled his hands in my hair pulling my face closer to his. He licked my lower lip begging for entrance and I let him. I moaned into his mouth as I felt his hands tracing delicate circles on my bare skin. My skin felt heated where his fingers trailed and I shivered. Nate broke the kiss and skimmed his lips down my jaw to my neck. As he did that he flipped us over so that I was beneath him. I knew where this was headed and I regretfully stopped him.

"Nate?" I sighed. "I can't... Not now. I'm sorry."

"Em... You don't know how long I've been waiting to do this with you. I've liked you for the longest time." Nate breathed into my ear before getting off me and cuddling me to his chest. I snuggled closer to him and smiled.

"So... where does this leave us?" I asked feeling a little shy about the question.

"It leaves us wherever you want us to be. I'm not going to force you into anything you don't want." Nate said looking down at me and kissing my forehead.I sighed and reached up to kiss him on the cheek and whisper in his ear.

"I want to be with you. I want to be more than just with you, I want to be yours forever." I felt him shiver and tighten his grip on me even more.

"Then Emily Rose, will you make me the happiest teenage boy on this earth by being my girlfriend?" Nate said as he moved to be on top of me again. I wound my arms around his neck and as my response, I kissed him with as much passion as I could hoping that he would understand my answer to his question. In response, I felt Nate lower himself even more onto me and trap me beneath him caging me with his hands on either side of me. I was so wrapped up in the sensation of his kiss that I barely noticed his hands underneath my shirt tracing patterns on my bare stomach. I gasped and arched my back forcing me even closer to him. I broke our kiss to look him in the eyes.

"Nathan Alexander Raine, I would be honored to be your girlfriend, you don't know how much I've wanted this." I whispered. With that Nate crashed his lips back to mine and kissed me like there was no tomorrow.

Suddenly, we heard the door to my room open and we quickly moved away from each other and I looked over to see Shawn walking in and freezing. 

"What the hell is going on in here?" Shawn exclaimed. I looked at him sheepishly and felt my face burning up."I--.""Wait.." he holds up his hands. "You don't need to tell me. This was bound to happen sooner or later. You kids have fun!" Shawn smirked and walked out of the room.

I looked at Nate with huge eyes and he started laughing."He killed the mood didn't he?" Nate said after catching his breath. I still couldn't say anything so I just nodded. Nate rolled off of me and wrapped me in his arms. "I just want to say that I talked to your brother before asking you to be my girlfriend. I thought he should know before he saw us doing something like this." I let out a laugh and had to agree.

"Oh yes. He woulda had your ass for sure than." I giggled. "I love you Naterbug."

"You already have a pet nickname for me now? Haha I love you to Emmers." He smiled as he bent to kiss my lips softly.

"Yes, yes I do. You know what? I'm glad we were friends before we started dating," I confessed. "It makes it feel like we'll be together for forever almost."

"Yeah... I'd have to agree. Friends first is the way to go. Best friends first." Nate replied with a smile. I look up at him and make a move to kiss his cheek but at the last second he moves his head and my lips meet his. I gasp and Nate takes advantage and slips his tongue in my mouth. We kiss for a few minutes before I decide I should go talk to my brother. I regretfully break the kiss and move to get up.

"Em? Where ya going?" Nate asks looking confused.

"Don't worry, I'll be back. I'm just going to go talk to Shawn for a minute. I think he wants me to." I shrug and head for the door, but before I can reach it Nate is behind me tugging me to him for one more kiss. "Nate! Stop being so touchy! It's not like I'm abandoning you!" I tease him and kiss him on the cheek. "I'll be back. Sit down and stay!." I open the door and leave my room closing the door behind me. I head to Shawn's room and knock on the door.

"Come in!" Shawn calls. I timidly open the door and slip in his room. I sit on his computer chair and fold and unfold my hands in my lap.

"Emmabear, why are you so nervous?" He says as he comes and puts his arm around me.

"I-I don't know. I'm scared about my feelings for Nate and I don't want to lose him, he's a great friend and if this relationship doesn't work out I don't want to lose him for good." I say as tears start to well up in my eyes.

"Emily Rose, Nate has loved you for so long. Pretty much since the day you guys met in 1st grade. I could tell and I was only in 6th grade when you guys met. If he wanted to leave you he already would have. To be honest, I've talked with him about his feelings for you and he doesn't want to lose you either."I could feel my jaw drop at what my brother had just admitted. I couldn't believe that Nate had liked me for so long and not done anything about it. I felt like an idiot. I gave my brother a huge hug and headed back to my room to the guy who had loved me since 1st grade. I opened my door and walked back to my bed, my mind felt like it was on hyper-speed. I looked at Nate, and my heart literally skipped a beat. He had fallen asleep with my favorite teddy bear in his arms and a slight smile on my face. I got under the covers next to him and snuggled closer and tried to fall asleep.

Chapter 3

A few hours later I woke up to a dark room and Nate still next to me, staring at me. "Nate? I think you need to go home and sleep. You've been here way to long." I whispered."I know I should, and I might sound cheesy, but I like watching you sleep. You look so peaceful and beautiful I can't look away." Nate whispered back."Okay, now you sound like you walked out of a romance movie," I teased. "But thanks. That's very sweet of you." I moved closer to his face and kissed him.  As the kiss went on, it started to become more passionate.  Nate moved so he was ontop of me and trapped me between his arms.  I wound my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.  I'd never wanted to be closer to anyone in my life, I couldn't get close enough.  I hooked a leg around his waist and felt him put his weight on me.  He broke our kiss and started traveling his lips down my jaw to my neck and found my sensitive spot causing me to gasp and moan.  He came up for air and gently pulled my shirt over my head and found my lips again, tossing my shirt on the floor.  I felt his fingers trace down my body to my pants and slowly start to take them off along with my underwear.  Before long I was naked in front of him. I felt vulnerable and started to cover myself up, blushing.  

"Em, you've never been more beautiful to me than you are right now," Nate said huskily. "You don't need to cover yourself up." He then got up to undress himself and promptly got back on the bed and straddled me.  I squirmed a bit and I heard him groan as I felt his growing affection toward me on my stomach.  He caught my mouth up in a fierce, but passion-filled kiss as he situated himself between my legs.  

I felt his hands start to roam their way around my body until they tickled my inner thighs making me arch into him.  He moved his hands in between my legs sending warm, fuzzy sensations through my body causing me to moan in ecstacy.  

"Nate... I... I need to feel you inside me!" I finally panted as I kept thrashing on the bed feeling wave after wave of intense pleasure flow through me. I felt him resituate himself above me as he kissed me roughily this time.  I felt him at my wet entrance and I couldn't keep myself from wiggling my hips trying to ease the intense emotions I was feeling.  I heard him growl
