"I'm ready"

My voice suddenly came out of nowhere and Nathan stops eating. He looks up from his plate and gives me a confused look.

"Ready? Ready for what ?", He asks me and I tried my best to look serious.

"You told me to tell you when I'm ready...to accept you and now I wanted to tell you that...I'm ready", I tell him and watches as his expression changes from seriousness to confusion then to happiness. He smiles at me and I cover my mouth to prevent myself from laughing. I don't know why I always laugh at every moment that's serious.

"Are you sure? You're not going back ?", He asks me one more time while standing up from his seat.

"Yeah"

With that, he runs up to me and hugs me. I close my eyes and put my arms around his body. He put his head in the crook of my neck and I pressed myself deeper into his chest.

"Thank you", He whispers.

"For what ?", I ask him.

"For giving me a chance"

——

"Tom and Jerry are more popular", he protests and I shake my head against his chest.

"No, believe me, or not, Gumballs are even more popular than Tom and Jerry", I tell him and watch as he pouts. He looks so cute while doing that so I pinch his cheek and he groaned.

"I think one day, my cheek will be swollen because you keep on pinching it", He pulls me closer to his chest and I laugh.

After a little exchange of our confession, we decided to watch a movie while cuddling next to each other. Well, I wanted to just watch T.V. but Nathan decided to take a blanket and told me he wanted to cuddles, I don't have any problems against it anyway so I don't see why not.

"Okay, I will stop pulling it now but I'll do it again tomorrow", I laugh and he just kisses my cheeks and I blush.

"Let me ask you a serious question", He asks me and I look at him.

"When did you know that you actually like me ?", He asks me.

"Uhm... to be honest, I don't know. I like you for a very long time ago since you first confessed but like I said, I'm not really sure about dating because of...", I suddenly stop talking because if I keep on talking, I know that I'll feel pain again.

"Because of... ?", He asks me with creased eyebrows and I just shake my head.

"Maybe next time", I pull the blanket, that's covering our body, away and push myself up into a standing position.

"Hey, Hey...I know that you're hiding something from me and I'm not mad if you don't want to share it now. Let's take baby steps into our relationship and tell me when you're really comfortable", He speaks as well as pulling me back down so now we're in our cuddling position once again. I positioned myself so I'm in front of him and speak.

"Thank you...for understanding and not rushing me" I whisper to him and he nods.

"What do you want to do tonight?", He asks me and I stand up.

"Nothing in general, maybe sleep", I tell him and make my way upstairs.

"Wait for me", He shouts and quickly turns off the lights and the T.V.

"Why don't we sleep in the same room tonight ?", He asks me when he's close enough.

"What? Why ?", I ask him.

"To celebrate our first day in a relationship ?", He tells me and I laugh.

"It's not even a full day yet, it was like 4 hours. And no, no sleeping on the same bed", I tell him and run up the stair. I run to my room but, of course, Nathan is faster than me. He lifts me and carries me toward his room and I try to move away from his tight grasp.

"Let me go", I tell him but he just laughs. He puts me on his bed and I immediately try to make my way to the door but Nathan closes the door before I can and he locks it. I gulp. He takes off his shirt, revealing his toned muscles and 6 packs and I cover my eyes with my hand.

"Please don't do it", I tell him as I try to cover my fully-clothed body with my hand.

"What do you think we're gonna do ?", He asks me and I look at him.

"You don't want to...have..s.e.x, right ?", I stutter at every word and he just laughs.

"No, I wanted us to 'sleep' together not to 'make love'. All I wanted to do is 'sleep', nothing else", He tells me. I cover my face with my hands in embarrassment. I really thought that Nathan wanted to have sex.

"Only sleep ?", I ask him again.

"Promise", He tells me and I nod. He happily jumps on the bed like a 5 years old child and laid his body on the bed while I laid mine. He suddenly pulls me to his chest and I jump away.

"You said we're gonna sleep", I tell him and he shakes his head.

"Cuddle ?", He tells me and I shake my head.

"No"

"But..but...", He protests but I cut him off.

"If you're not agreeing then I'll go to my room", I make my way to the direction of the door but Nathan jumps out of the bed and run to cover up the door.

"Okay, no touching, no cuddle, just sleeping", He tells me and gives me a reassuring smile. He walks me back to the bed and laid me down while he rushes to the other side of the bed.

"Good night", He tells me as he closes the lights.

"Night", I whisper and close my eyes trying to sleep...but I can't.

Why?

Because Nathan keeps on staring at me. Why?

"Nathan, can stop staring me please ?", I ask him.

"What? I can't even look at my girlfriend ?", He tells me and I fight back a smile that is slowly creeping out on my face.

"No".

With that, I turn around so my back is facing him and all I heard was a loud groaned before I fell asleep.
