We made lots of plans. Lots of lots of lots plans. But we weren't able to do all of them, so we started doing the very first plan we discussed together for the New Year's Eve.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAzeOGuhG1uY
Watching a movie.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAyFSIzBsZCL
Dave wanted to book a hotel in Louisville, because he liked to stay with his friend. But I didn't allow that. I asked him to stay with us until vacation is over.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAft0VcJH2xd
Dave was not happy with it, but Nathan was.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAyVQjaomyYD
So here we are: watching Letters to Juliet together.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAwp1CWnOED4
Lights were dimmed. Popcorn was ready. And Letters to Juliet was playing.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ3tOYQ5zC
Nathan was already bored out of his mind, he was yawning, and staring at the television with narrowed eyes.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAH9FKIKAC9f
I had to stare at him for exactly twenty seconds, in order to be able to notice that he wasn't blinking.
749Please respect copyright.PENANADjXhQ5GfSj
He wasn't talking.
749Please respect copyright.PENANA2J3gMs7u7r
And he definitely wasn't watching the movie with us.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAINR8yIiaFG
He was not even having any popcorns.
749Please respect copyright.PENANABmBCO1iBuv
He looked worried, nervous and very tired.
749Please respect copyright.PENANA01YStUsog7
"Jessie?" A voice called my name. I turned around abruptly to find Rachel staring at me with her eyes narrowed. Then her eyes landed on her brother, then back at me, then back at her brother.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAdtMMQg9fib
I felt heat rush into my cheeks, ears, and neck.
749Please respect copyright.PENANACxyYW4T0JM
Oh god! This is very humiliating, Rachel caught me staring at her brother like a maniac.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAi4UH3xKLqp
What could she think of now? Maybe she'll think I have something for Nathan?
749Please respect copyright.PENANA7EIV6DLMfB
"Hmmm?" I said, swallowing hard. And putting a fistful of popcorn into my mouth.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAyEYeE1ej7b
Rachel suddenly smiled, as if she hasn't just caught me staring at her brother. As if she doesn't actually care about it.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAKYZQSnVl4C
"Should we change the movie? I think the guys are bored" Rachel said, as she made a face. And put the already empty bowel of popcorn near her face, to eat the remaining small ones.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAS79MZxmgmW
"Yeah." I said, " what should we watch?"
749Please respect copyright.PENANAkzF8GukmDN
"Hmmm... How about Taken?" Rachel offered.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAKcHbrpYki7
"Yesssssss!!!!" Dave said as he threw his fist in the air.
749Please respect copyright.PENANACoSfnnrFbm
O-kay.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAa2Zc72Lk3M
"Alright then, Taken it is." I said, nodding my head.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAcppkPRYQGr
I quickly changed the CD in the CD player into Taken.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAPmQhN1425r
The movie played, but Nathan's reaction and expressions were the same.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAmVKiegrH5R
He was still not blinking.
749Please respect copyright.PENANADfz9Wnv0KP
He was still not talking, and was silent as a rock.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAIuEaw1sQtT
And he still looked in deep thoughts.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAb4FfwlxyAW
I shrugged and looked away. Maybe he has girl problems. It's not my business. His closest friend is with him after all.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAHvDSYG14oN
Dave was making funny noises while watching the movie. Which made Rachel roll her eyes, glare at him or even tell him to shut up (sometimes).
749Please respect copyright.PENANAZDokRzljow
I giggled at them. And continued watching the movie.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAMi411dd2W5
It was when Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) was looking for her daughter in Paris, when I felt someone's eyes on me.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAZBA89ifYyB
Not for ten seconds.
749Please respect copyright.PENANA04YDxUDIrc
Or twenty seconds, like me.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAt3dgEftX4i
Or even a minute.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAjnsahquvx9
But Nathan was staring at me for more than a three minutes.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAxPtdl7wx37
There was definitely something wrong with him today.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAFNNAGJ4ckZ
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, and tried to focus on the movie. But Nathan's eyes were still on me.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAJoJmdXMIZ1
I slowly turned around to stare at him, because I thought maybe he's just daydreaming and isn't realizing that his eyes has landed on me. But he looked away.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAoe0K387YIb
I frowned and felt every hair on my body stand out.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAYGyXmc7BsB
Why the hell is he this creepy today? He's acting very weird since I met Harry. But... didn't Harry say they were old friends? I don't remember Nathan greeting him or talking to him.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAW39nghLIWc
I reached out my hand to my bowl of popcorn but it was empty. I sighed and managed to walk to the kitchen. And fill my bowl with more popcorn.
749Please respect copyright.PENANANTt7fc1IFl
I was humming the lyrics of Thunder by Imagine Dragons all the way to the kitchen.
749Please respect copyright.PENANA8PHbzdTMOv
When my bowl was full enough, I turned around and dropped the bowl in my hands as I let out a gasp. "Arghhh"
749Please respect copyright.PENANAzE2whfTBXo
Nathan chuckled and stared at the mess I've done.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAbuncJ6gVET
The bowl was broken into thankfully large pieces, I bent down on my knees and started to collect the pieces.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAub3HcUmdp9
Nathan did the same, we both finished collecting the broken pieces, and threw them in the trash can.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAoSC9ZgYNg0
"You're not hurt, are you?" He asked.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAdUawpNWWBC
I frowned in confusion, I'm not hurt, I guess... I just got scared.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAKuq5WLGWWI
"Yeah, I know you're...jumpy" Nathan said chuckling once more, then he stared at my hands and pointed at them, "I was talking about your hands"
749Please respect copyright.PENANAvvPG5oVlWC
"Oh..." I muttered, feeling stupid. "I'm fine"
749Please respect copyright.PENANAjojRe7rBmt
"Good to know" He said and smiled politely at me. Then his smile dropped gradually, until his lips were pressed into a thin line. He sighed deeply and stared into my eyes.
749Please respect copyright.PENANA5JgVVUyYkT
"I... want to tell you something" Nathan said, his voice shaky, his eyes dropping a little. It was then when I noticed the dark circles under his eyes, his eyes blood shot red, and his skin pale like a snowball.
749Please respect copyright.PENANACGePUxp0X4
"Sure" I say, and smile. Whatever it is he wants to tell me, I really hope I can help him with it.
749Please respect copyright.PENANATAsSwfZeZP
The poor guy looks very sad.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAApnAp3ciOY
Nathan breathes in, and runs his hands through his hair. He opens his mouth and closes it several times. Like a fish breathing in water.
749Please respect copyright.PENANA9MLFtbebzP
He finally opened his mouth and uttered only three words, which changed my life entirely.
749Please respect copyright.PENANAwPypy2mxHZ
"Be my girlfriend"
