Part 16

                                    

                                          
Nolan POV:
                          
Our relationship went on like any other relationship would. We went on dates,  stayed at home and watched movies, get into small petty arguments. We've been dating for about a month and it's been nothing but great. I missed her. 
                          
We were eating popcorn while watching 'Hocus Pocus' when Mary asked me, "I want to meet your parents. "
                          
I turned to her,  confused and said, "What? ".
                          
"I wanna meet them. Both of them.", she says smiling. 
                          
" I don't know... Don't you think it might be a little too early? "
                          
" It's been a month!  When do you think I should meet them? ", she said hopeful. 
                          
"...never...", I said nervously. Mary's face expression turned from hopeful to upset. She stood up and got her jacket. She turned around to me and said, "I don't feel like watching the movie anymore. I want to go. " in an annoyed voice.
                          
I stood up walking towards her trying to grab her hand,  but she just batted my hand away from her and walked outside to my uncle's car.
                          
"Oh come on,  Mary. Please, can we talk about this? ", I said watching her open the car door. 
                          
"We did. You said no, now I want to go. Are you gonna drive me or do I have to walk home. It's getting dark and I'd hate to be kidnapped because my stubborn boyfriend wouldn't give me a ride home. ", she said annoyed. 
                          
I rolled my eyes and said, "Fine...just give me a minute. " I walked back into the house and got my keys and shoes and walked outside. She was already in the car with a straight look, not even thinking about looking at me. I really messed up this time. 
                          
I walked to the car and got in.
                          
As we were driving, we didn't listen to music. It seemed as though we only listened to the radio when we were both happy. We didn't say a word to each other, so there was a slight awkwardness. 
                          
The silence lasted until I pulled into her driveway and turned the car off.
                          
I got out of the car to open the door for her but when I got out , she was already walking up to her porch. I stood next to the car as she opened the front door. Before she went in, she turned around to me and said ,"Let me ask you something. Have you told anybody about me?"
                          
I thought about it for a while but nobody's name came into my head. I could see on her face that she was clearly sad and heartbroken. She walked into her house and closed the door without saying a word. I got back into the car and drove back home.
                          
Mary POV :
                          
I practically ran up to my room and shut my door. I sat on my bed with my lavender duvet and black and white ombre pillows. I thought about what had happened in the last 30 minutes. I just didn't understand why he just shut my off like that. We've been dating for a month! I thought maybe he would've thought it was a great idea. I guess I was wrong.
                          
I laid down in my bed and realized that I was starving and wouldn't have a clear head while I had a clear stomach ,so I took my black combat boots and socks off,and put on my favorite giraffe fuzzy socks.
                          
I walked down the stairs and into the big kitchen. It might sound weird but I've always had a thing for big kitchens. If I have a small and narrow kitchen, then I feel ashamed  and scared of my kitchen every time I go in it. It's just something I've always felt about.
                          
I opened the right side of the refrigerator and looked to see if there were any snacks. I looked on the middle shelf and saw some purple grapes. I took the whole bag out, got a big ceramic blue bowl and took individual grapes off the stems and put them in my bowl. I put the bag back in the refrigerator and took my bowl and walked into the living room. There was no one home, so I had the tv all to myself. I flipped through the channels to see what was on. I had to pick between' Modern Family'  and 'Friends' . I ended up picking 'Friends' since it had been a while since I've watched an episode.
                          
I had watched about an hour and a half of 'Friends'  when someone had knocked on the door. "Just a sec!",I shouted. Before opening the door, I looked in the mirror, fixing my hair. When I opened the door,I was confused to see that it was Nolan.
                          
"I'm sorry.", he said softly. Before I  could think of something to say, he had leaned forward and smashed his lips on mine. I kissed him back, as his hands wrapped around my waist. My hands wrapped around his neck. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around him. I felt one of his hands let go of me as he closed the door.
                          
He walked to the kitchen and put me down on the counter. He let go of me and let go of our kiss. He looked down in shame.
                          
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I- I -I shouldn't have said that.", he said. He slowly looked up at me and starred into my eyes, waiting for a response.
                          
I gently pushed him and got off the kitchen counter. I took his hand and walked to the living room. I let go of his hand in the middle of the room and told him to stay there.
                          
I walked to the speaker and plugged my iPod in. I went to my music and selected a song. 
                          
'Settle down with me,
                          
Cover me up,
                          
Cuddle me in....'
                          
Nolan made a slight chuckle and walked over to me.
                          
"May I have this dance?", he said never losing eye contact. I smiled and said,"I thought you'd never ask."
                          
Before I could take one step towards him, he quickly grabbed my waist and pulled me towards him. I wrapped my hands around his neck, as we started to dance.
                          
'Kiss me like you wanna be loved
                          
You wanna be loved
                          
You wanna be loved...'
                          
"I'm sorry for being rude today. I don't know what came over me. I-... I realized that I was like that because 
                          
I...I don't have a dad. He left my mom and I when I was a baby. I don't tell many people because people make assumptions that they shouldn't and I learned that the hard way. I'm sorry I kept that from you, but I was looking for the right time to tell-"
                          
"Just shut up and kiss me.", I said right before I pulled him in and kissed him softly. 
                          
After a while, I let go of the kiss and said,"I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to ambush you in any way or make you feel uncomfortable. If you don't want me to meet your mom yet, then I'm fine with it." 
                          
Nolan didn't say anything. He just smiled as he leaned forward and continued to kiss me. As we swayed to the song and kissed passionately, it felt as if the world wasn't filled with people, it was only us. And that's the way I wanted to be for a long time.
