He gave up "I have no clue who you're talking about" he said laughing a little bit and sitting up. He was still slightly drunk but very much sobre. He liked Racheal, a lot, but he couldnt get Aundrea out of his mind. He glanced at the ring that sat on the table.
As if she read his mind.
"Why? What is so great about Racheal?" he asked not in a mean way. He knew she was fun to be around and great at sports but he was just curious as to whether she wanted him to make Aundrea jealous or because she actually liked him.
"I'm not thinking about Aundrea" he replied pulling her up also.
"Come on Racheal, I need to know you don't just want me for my body" he joked. "You and Aundrea hate each other and this would really rub it in".
"I've liked you since I first met you Ethan. Do you think any other guy would have let me actually play with him? No, they would have laughed and continued their game." Rachel said, twirling a bit of hair around her finger. "And they would not have actually played."
"Really?" he asked grabbing her hand gently. He was just about kiss her when the house phone rang. He let it ring for a while when he realised it was probably his parents seeing whether he was okay.
"I better get that, don't go anywhere" he told her kissing her on the cheek before he left his room and headed for his parents.
"Hey"
"Nate, thank goodness. Why did you take so long answering the phone?" his mother asked. "I thought something had happened to you"
Nate tried not to laugh. "Sorry just got out of the shower" he replied sitting on the sofa in their room.
"What is that noise?" his father asked.
"What noise?" he asked closing the door quietly. "Oh that noise. I had my CD player on"
"But you don't usually listen to that. You're always on your ipod"
"Well thats because I dont want to disturb you guys with my music"
"Oh okay. But everything is fine?"
"Yes..........." well truth be told it wasn't.
"Okay well we'll see you tomorrow. Don't stay up too late"
"Bye" he dropped the phone but didn't get up. He wanted to go back to his own room and make out with Racheal but it was too soon and he had just broken up with Aundrea. Then he caught a glimpse of a picture on the shelf of himself and Nathan when they had gone skiing one easter. He suddenly changed his mind walking out of the room. He quietly walked back into his own room unnoticed and switched the light off. The room wasn't compleely dark though because the blinds were open so the light from the moon shot through.
He didn't reply but out of the blue and suddenly he jumped onto the bed knocking Racheal playfully back.
"My parents, checking I'm still alive and not up to any mischief" he replied looking down at her, into her sparkling eyes.
"Who said I deny.." Nate started to say before his lips met with Racheals. He kissed her and it was like they were at Aundreas party all over again. She was wearing a different lip gloss though. 'It's like she's got a different flavour for each day of the week' Nate thought. And her perfum smelt very familiar.
