Secret lovers

Two weeks had passed while Natalie and Pheonix's relationship progressed.

The took on the identity of secret lovers keeping their relationship a secret from their bestfriends.

When they had some free time they'd go out together. Natalie was starting to understand why she fell for him in the first place.

He was nice, caring, cute, especially when she complimented him.

They both took a trip up the Statue of Liberty and were watching the night city lights.

"They're beautiful." Natalie said in a whisper as she leaned on his shoulder.

"Yeah." He had a charming smile on his lips. "Your birthday's coming close right?"

"Yeah."

"I swear I'll make it up to you on the eight birthdates I missed."

"Its no fair." She suddenly said pouting.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"No. But you're so sweet to me even though I can't remember anything about you, about us but you're making me fall all over again. I mean ever since I lost my memories you're the sweetest being and...and..." Her emotions just kept pouring out and so were her tears.

It hurt how someone was caring for her and she didn't know anything about him. Someone that she loved her but she didn't know why.

Unable to bear her current state, Pheonix pulled her I to a hug.

"It's good how you let what you were feeling out. Take it from me, its dangerous to keep stuff to yourself." He said stroking her hair lovingly.

After a short while, he pulled away. He stared at her dazzling eyes then moved to her red nose from crying and then at her plush lips.

After a little consideration, he bent forward.

Natalie was taken aback but closed her eyes. She was expecting him to kiss her buuuut his lips landed beside hers.

If only she had the courage to turn to the side a little she would've kissed him but she was frozen in place.

When he pulled away he could clearly see her blushing beautiful face and smiled.

"It doesn't matter whether you remember or not. We have a future together now, right?" He tucked some strands behind her ear.

"I kinda understand why I dated you in the first place." She smiled. " Let's go, it's getting dark and I'm sure if we want this to remain a secret until we're stable enough to tell then, we have to get home early."

"You're right. Let's go." He stood up and helped her to her feet.

He drove her to her street but stopped a few blocks before hers.

"I guess I'm leaving now. She said taking off her seat belt. Goodnight."

Just as she was about to get off the car, she heard him call out to her.

"Nat." His magnetic voice sent thrills through her spine.

"Yes?"

He moved closer and kissed her jaw. "Goodnight."

Blinking a few times, she ran out of the car and speed walked towards her home with a blushing face.

He couldn't help but smile as he watched her figure disappear.

Honestly watching her backside made him actually realize how good she looked in pants.

°°°°°

Monna who was initially meant to stay for a week thought she would just extend her stay since she felt Natalie would feel lonely since she had no job.

Although Monna was working, she would avoid night flights so she could have time for Natalie at night.

When she opened the door, Monna was nowhere to be seen.

"Monna? Monna? Are you home????" She called out walking towards Monna's room.

"Monna?" She whispered opening the door carefully.

Monna was dead asleep. She was even drooling and was still in her work clothes. She must have been exhausted.

Closing the door, she left Monna's room and went to hers for a shower.

After thoroughly cleaning up, she wore a large black shirt, knee length stockings and a woolen jacket to bed.

She didn't even know when she slept off.

"Are you okay? Talk to me." The teenage Pheonix asked as he stared at the frail Natalie.

She was crying but why?

"I'm fine, thank you." She said wiping her tears off.

"I'm Pheonix, what's your name?" He stretched out his hand with looking worried but suddenly pulled it away.

"I...I'm sorry I have to go."

He ran off.

The next day....

Pheonix was in his office speaking with a client over the phone.

Since he got tired of staying home with no purpose whatsoever so persuaded his mother to let him off earlier even though his wound wasn't fully.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He hung up and permitted the person to come in.

"Sup dude." Maxwell walked in with his hands in his pockets.

"Whatcha want now?"

"Nah I just thought I'd see you. Anyway since you weren't able to go on that date with Natalie that time, you've been surprisingly calm. I thought you'd lock yourself up."

Turning the chair backwards, he sat down in front of Pheonix with his arms on the back rest.

"And why would I do that?" He rose an eyebrow.

"I don't know but I felt you'll be mad and stuff." He shrugged playing with his seat. "Let's go out for lunch. I'm hungry."

"Okay." Pheonix agreed standing up.

He was dressed casually in a white t-shirt exposing the dragon tattoo on his left arm with a pair of blue sweatpants with white sides that highlighted his slim long legs and white sneakers.

Before leaving his office, he picked up his shades and left.
