Mia"So, be real with me here, Bay. What's happening with you and this guy, Liam?" I dared to ask her, making her eyes widen in shock. She has been spending an awful lot of time with him, and I'm happy for her. I really am, but I don't like him. He's a player. I mean, he was making out with this cheerleader chick a few weeks ago in front of Bailey's locker. He dared to parade other girls and make out with them in front of her since I could remember. I am not buying this 'I am suddenly into you’ crap. Something is going on, and I know it. I can feel it. "Nothing is happening. We're just friends. I mean, yeah, he asked me to help him out with a few things regarding school, but that's it." "Bay!" "It's just tutoring, Mia. Nothing else. I'm fine, I promise. You gotta stop babysitting me all the time." she says, making me chuckle. "I am not babysitting you. I'm just worried." "Mia, I know you don't like Liam. I get it. J0rdan said the same thing, and so did most in our group, but I am
NathanI would be lying to you if I said I wasn't nervous right now. This isn't my first date. Andrea has made me go out numerous times with her to the movies and dinner and all that shit. But Mia is different. I don't know how to explain this, and I don't know why, but she is. I spent all night talking with Dad about this, and after a while of Mom lecturing me about making sure I treat Mia right and not break her heart or she'll break my legs, I finally came up with a great idea. Well, technically, it was Dad who came up with the idea, I just took it into action. Regardless- I hope she likes what I planned for her."So... Where are we going?" she asks, smiling brightly and looking so beautiful. I smiled, biting my bottom lip just thinking of how sweet her kisses are. "Well, I hope you don't mind, but I need to make a quick stop at my grandma Riley's first," I say, winking at her. She smiles, nodding her head. "Not at all. I love your grandma, Riley," she adds, making me feel good i
MiaI smiled brightly, holding Nate's hand as he led me through the vineyard lanes. I can't remember when was the last time I came here. I used to love coming to their vineyard. There is so much to do. His grandpa has self-picking events that bring in people from all over. Each season, he holds different events, and I look forward to each one of them. From his apple orchards to the pumpkin patches in the fall; the Christmas trees in the winter, and snowman competitions, everything in this vineyard just makes the day worthwhile. God, and don't get me started on the accommodations. The restaurants and hotels they opened here are beautiful. It's been numerous times that they have invited us to stay, and my god! It is memorable. I was even thinking of getting a part-time job at the restaurant here, or maybe in one of the souvenir stores, who knows, but I definitely want to get a part-time here. I could really use the extra cash for college next year.My mouth gawked open as I turn and s
Mia"You can't keep doing this to me, Nate!" I said, happily crying, making him chuckle. "Do what? I didn't do anything wrong. Did I ?” he answers, making me cry more.I pulled away, and he instantly wiped my tears away with his thumbs, kissing my lips softly as he smiled. "You are spoiling me. Why are you so cute and stuff with me? it's not fair. You're making it hard for me to not fall in love with you." I say, closing my eyes as I tried to stop crying.But I just couldn't. "I'm sorry. I just... I was just trying to do something nice for you. Mia, I love you. You have no idea how much you mean to me. I... I just wish you could see how special you are to me." he says, knitting his eyebrows and smiling apologetically. "God. You are so hopeless." I say as I sniffled, and nodded, wiping a tear away and making him chuckle. He hugs me around my neck as I rest my head on his chest, hugging him. “Thank you, Nate. This means so, much to me." I say as I tilt my head to the side and look at
Mia (Two Weeks Later)Nate and I have had a blast hanging out at school and after school. Usually, I wait up for him to get out of football practice, but I don't mind. Bailey waits too because somehow, she and Liam have started talking and hanging out more and more.I don't like the guy by the way, but hey, it's all up to her. I just hope she's careful with him. He's bad news. As for Nate and I, we have dinner tonight with his family to celebrate his mom's new book. We're also celebrating the victory of their game last week for our homecoming game. I am proud to say, Nate made a bunch of touchdowns and he won the game. Nate was captain last year, but this year he was placed as a wide receiver, and my god! The coach was amazed by his performance. Nate is so good, but he was knocked down plenty because they know if given the slightest opening, he will take advantage of it. The team caught on quickly that he was their star and did everything in their power to keep him blocked the who
MiaI sigh, as I rested my chin on my hand. I was feeling drained. It happens far too often to me when I feel my body's absorbing bad energy. Don't ask- I just know.I need to go home and rest this off, to cleanse myself badly, or I will be dealing with an anxiety attack soon. God, why is this happening to me? What is this lady's deal? What did I ever do to her? She hates me so much, and I don't get why."Babe, Grandma brought her special red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, do you want a slice?" Nate whispered in my ear, making my eyes glisten. His grandma is the best baker this town has ever had. My lips curved into a bright smile, and I nodded in agreement.Nate's eyes glistened with joy. He kisses my lips and gets up, grabbing a slice for me and one for himself before coming back to sit with me. I dug in, forgetting for a while as we enjoyed the cake with a cup of coffee. But just as I ate halfway through my cake, "Oh, Andrea. This way honey." I hear Amanda call out, gest
MiaWe got to the lake in no time. The dock was pretty quiet without all the others here. The summer was different. The lake had been overcrowded with teens. The nonstop music and rowdy teens filled my memories. It was pretty awesome, but, if I had to choose, I rather have today. Nate and Jordan wasted no time. They take off their shirts and kick off their shoes, running toward the water lit by the full moon. They take their pants off, and dive right into the water, making Kenzie and I chuckle. "Woooohhhh....Come on, let's go join them!" Kenzie says, grabbing my arm. "What? No... I- I don't have any clothes." I say, stopping in my tracks. "Oh, come on, Mia! Live a little. Who cares, none of us have extra clothes. Come on, it'll be fun." she says, looking at me with a smile. She is probably right. I may have a sassy mouth, and I'm very blunt to talk back, but somehow... I felt a bit timid when it came to opening up to this kind of thing. "Come on in girls. The water is still warm."
Third Person POV"I will see you tomorrow morning," Nate whispers in Mia's mouth as he kisses her softly. "Definitely," she replies, kissing his lips. They sat quietly in his car after they had dropped Kenzie and Jordan off at their homes.Mia had stubbornly gotten a job at the small restaurant in Mr. Patterson's vineyard. So, Nate took advantage and got a part-time job with her as well. Tomorrow was the beginning of her first shift, and Nate had made sure to be scheduled every hour with her.He had no need for a job, but the fact he was able to spend more time with Mia seemed reason enough for him to ask his grandpa for a job. Her hair was still soaking wet as she got off the car, but not one ounce of her cared. This had been a good night after all, and she owed it all to Nate. She smiles, kissing his lips one last time as she soothingly cups his cheek."I love you, Mia," he whispers in her lips, making her lips curl into a big smile. "I love you too. Good night," she says, and then
