Where We Belong

Chapter 104



Won't be long my ass...

Grabbing my phone from the bedside cab I noticed I had a message from a number I didn't recognise.

'I need to see you'

Frowning I hit the reply button not really sure who I was replying to.

"Who's this?'

Just as I hit send the bedroom door opened "I hope you're hungry I got a lot" He grinned placing the bags on the bed.

"Did you buy the full store?" I laughed picking up the goodies he had just bought.

"Didn't know what you fancied so I got a mixture. I'm going to go get this hot stuff plated. Did you pick a film yet?" He asked

"Hm not yet haven't moved an inch since you left" I smiled "You pick something, I'm not really bothered what we watch". Truth be told I was more up for talking. This whole chilling out together and relaxing wasn't him.

But maybe it was..... maybe this was the side he kept hidden.

As he went to plate our food my phone vibrated in my hand.

'It's Nate.. I need to see you. Please Ava'

What could he possibly want to see me about? I hadn't seen Nate in weeks. Yes I had a lot of messages from him and I had replied to none of them. I still didn't like that he didn't visit me, I still needed a reason as to why he never showed.

"What's causing that frown?"

Immediately locking my phone I looked up my eyes landing on his. "That smells amazing" I grinned my stomach growling.

"A little bit of everything. Now eat I haven't seen you eat proper food in ages" Handing me my plate he took the space beside me. I didn't hesitate to dig in.

We ate in silence. It wasn't uncomfortable it wasn't awkward it was nice and for once it felt normal. To chill out together with some food and a movie. To actually act like a normal couple instead of something going wrong every 5 minutes.

Wait were we even a couple?

"What are you thinking?" He asked breaking the silence.

"I like this" I smiled "This is good Blaze it's normal and god knows how long it's been since it's felt normal".

Chuckling he got to his feet placing his now empty plate on the bedside table. "Can't remember the last time I chilled out with a girl to watch a movie". Scratching the back of his head he began to get out of his clothes. "You're changing me Ava".

Feeling stuffed I placed my plate to the side of me and rubbed at my stomach. I ate that way to fast. Deciding to ignore the part about me changing him I brought up something else instead.

"What happened tonight?".

Taking my plate off the bed he placed it beside his. "The little you know about what is going on the better now did you pick a film yet?" He asked climbing in beside me.

I wasn't going to push it. If he didn't think I needed to know then I was dropping it.

"I'd rather just talk but we can watch a film if you want". I said turning my head so I could look at him.

Maybe I'm wrong but something felt different about this time, I felt different about it. Could it be because I'm not going to put up a fight anymore? I'm actually going to take Ally's advice and let whatever was going on between us happen.

"I'm good with just talking sweets" Yawning he snaked his arm over my stomach resting his hand on my hip.

"I have something to tell you" I muttered not sure how this was going to go. If this was going to work, if I wanted it to work then I had to tell him about Nate contacting me.

Hearing him sigh he propped his head on his elbow. "I'm all ears darlin'."

Just as I had mentally prepared what I was going to say my phone vibrated against my leg. I didn't need to look to know who it was.

I had no idea why I was afraid to tell him I mean it's not as if I wasn't used to arguing with him or dealing with how horrible his words could be.

"Ava please just tell me you're starting to worry me". Placing his other hand over my good one he gave it a little squeeze.

"Nate texted me saying he needed to see me" Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I waited for the blow but surprisingly it didn't come. "When?". He forced out through gritted teeth.

"Tonight when you were out getting food. Blaze please don't be angry I didn't message him back and I'm telling you about it. I'm telling you because I want us to work this time and that means no secrets, no lies".

"I'm not angry Ava I'm pissed I told him not to contact or come near you and this is what he does..."

"Blaze" I sighed sliding my hand out of his so I could cup his cheek "There's no need to be pissed about it, no point in letting it get to you. I didn't respond to it and I won't so please put it out of your mind".

"I want you to reply"....

What?

"Message him back and ask him why he needs to see you. I want to know what he's up to".

Letting my hand fall from his cheek I continued to stare at him. Of course I was curious as to what Nate wanted but I never thought I'd ever hear those words come out of his mouth.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Why?" I asked knowing nothing good would ever come out of this. Blaze was a jealous guy heck we all knew that and he wanted me to text his brother back.

"He's up to something Ava, he has to be". He muttered more to himself than me.

Sighing I picked up my phone opening the message he had just sent and hitting the reply button. "What do you want me to say?" I asked

"Ask him why he needs to see you and then when he replies we'll take it from there" He grinned.

"Why are you grinning?" This wasn't funny. I didn't want to hurt Nate, that wasn't my intention.

Laughing he shook his head. I wasn't daft I knew it was a sarcastic laugh but him nor Nate had ever told me.

"You have no idea sweetheart, no fucking idea"....

"Then tell me" I said moving slightly so I could sit up. "Why do you hate him so much? You can't even say his name without it upsetting you. So please tell me what happened".

"Story for another time darlin'. Here" Giving me my phone I opened up the message aware that he could read every word.

'I just need to see you Ava. Meet me at the wine bar where we first met. Tomorrow noon. I'll be there. N x'

"Aw look he sent a little kiss at the end. How fucking cute". He spat

"Did you think this would have happened?" He asked

"Hmm?" I mumbled
