Chapter 8: Sparring With Nathan

I had only been home for about a few hours when I received a text from Nathan. 

        N: Hey, I know we went on a date today all ready, but do you wanna hang out again?

        R: Sure, are you picking me up, or am I driving to you?

        N: I'll come get you.

        R: See you soon.

I walked over to Dad in the living room. "So, I'm gonna hang out with Nathan again." I said. He sighed, "Ok." I went back to my room to get ready again. "Where are you going?" Morgan asked. "I'm gonna hang out with Nathan again." I smiled. "Wow, you guys really like each other."she said.

I put on my boots and jacket and then went to wait for him outside. When he got there I walked over to him and said, "You must've really missed me." He smirked, "You and your cocky attitude." He smiled and then got off his motorcycle. He then approached me and gave me a quick hug. 

"Alright lets go." he said. As I got on his motorcycle I asked, "Where are we going?" I asked. "My apartment, if you're ok with that." he said. " As long as I'm with you, I don't care where we go." I said. He laughed, "You read too many romance novels. Now you sound like you're from one." I hit his shoulder, "Shut up." 

When we got to his apartment, he showed me around. It had a blue and gray theme. He had blue walls and gray doors. His furniture was gray. He had dark wooden tables. "Your apartment is beautiful." I said. "Thank you. So when I was watching you fight that dude today I noticed you don't know much. Would you like to spar with me?" I smiled, "Yes. Please." He laughed. 

He punched me lightly on the side. I punched him back. We threw punches and kicks and blocked. We used enough force for it to be considered sparring, but not enough to hurt each other. 

He punched my shoulder, and this time it hurt. "What the hell man? I thought we weren't supposed to hurt each other."  I said. "I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry." he said. I was rubbing my hurt shoulder, "It's fine." 

"Here, I'll fix it." he walked over to me and put his hands on my waist. Then he planted a small kiss on my shoulder. He looked back at me, "Was that ok?" I nodded, "Yeah." I said, still shocked.

"Good, then hopefully you'll like this too." He pulled me closer to him and then kissed me. I was shocked at first. Then I tangled my fingers in his beautiful jet black hair and kissed him back. 

He pulled back, "I take it you liked that." A little breathless I said, "You and I are moving fast, but I'm ok with that. Yes I liked the kiss." I gave him another quick peck. "Now lets get back to sparring." He laughed and we continued to spar for another hour. 

He drove me home. While we were still in the driveway he gave me a hug. Then he pulled back a little so he could kiss me. I kissed him back. He pulled away, "I'll see you later." I watched him drive away then headed inside.

Then I ran into the house and then into my room. When I got there I gave Morgan a look. "What?" she asked. "He brought me to his apartment and we were sparring." She tilted her head, "Ok, what's his apartment like?" I smiled, "It's blue and gray themed. It's beautiful, but that's not the big deal." I said. "Ok, well then continue." she said. "So, he punched my shoulder and it hurt so I said it hurt. Then he apologized and said he could fix that. He then put his hands on my waist and kissed my shoulder. That eventually led to a real kiss and I kissed him back." 

Her jaw dropped, "Don't play with me." I laughed, "I'm not." She shook her head, "You of all people kissed him, you let him kiss you?" I smiled, "Yeah." She shook her head, "Wow. You know what, good for you man." "Thanks Bro." I said.
