AN: So thanks to the reviewers,, ! There were some problems with the reviews again – they didn't show on the page, so I couldn't answer them – But that's fixed now!
So a special thanks again to the 4 reviewers! :) (btw, I seriously couldn't wait for the 5th review, I know, I suck!, but I guess you're happy that I'm updating anyway.. hehe)
I have a question for you (if you're good at English):
- When is it 'in to', and when is it 'into'? – Do I do it right? – Cause I don't think so…
Please answer if you know! (English isn't my first language) :))
Hope you like it!!
Caitlyn's bath was long. It felt relieving to stand under the hot water. Like it was embracing her in a hot and comfortable hug. When she was standing under the water, she didn't think, but when she stepped out of the bath 30 minutes later the thoughts flooded into her head.
She sighed out loud. Why couldn't her thoughts just stop? If her mind wasn't telling her all the consequences she would have told Nate a long time ago. Why couldn't she just stop all her worries and be happy.
Caitlyn sat down on her bed and turned on the television trying to get her mind off Nate. But nothing got her attention before she turned on hot tunes. They talked about Connect 3 - of course. She sighed out loud before she turned off the television again.
She was going to think about it until she told him, so she figured she should pull herself together and just do it. So she started to walk slowly down the stairs convincing herself that this was it. Sooner than she had expected she stood in front of the door to the Grays' house.
Come on Caitlyn, this is it, just do it, it's not like anyone is going to die.
She slowly moved her hand to the doorbell and rang it.
"Hey Caitlyn, great you could come." Shane said as he opened the door.
Caitlyn gave him a confused look, so he said; "You know our friends from camp, they're here."
"Ohh,, yea, I knew." She said after remembering Nate's phone conversation earlier.
As she walked into the living room they were all there.
"Hey Caitlyn!" They all greeted her. She forced a smile as she said: "Hey everyone."
She was a bit disappointed. Or maybe 'a bit' was an understatement. She wasn't going to be alone with Nate as she had thought.
She sat down at a couch between Mitchie and Peggy and soon the three of them were in a deep conversation. Or more like Mitchie and Peggy, Caitlyn just nodded when they asked for her opinion. She was in her own thoughts.
Nate was talking with Barron and Sander about the tour. Was it soon possible to say more about that tour! He sounded so excited when he spoke. Like he hadn't been missing anyone – but he probably had. Caitlyn knew that the tour had been exciting and deep down inside she understood Nate, but it was hard to admit, when she just wanted him for herself. She knew she was a bit selfish. It was probably not going to be today she was going to tell him. It made her a bit sad. When she had been making her way to his house she was so sure that she was going to tell him.
Nate looked over at Caitlyn. She looked sad. She really wasn't herself. Maybe something was wrong; maybe something happened to her while he was gone. Or maybe she was considering how to break up with him. Ugh why did he keep thinking that? It made him feel sick. He knew he couldn't be happy without Caitlyn. He needed her. He wondered what his music would be like if Caitlyn wasn't his inspiration. - It wouldn't be good.
Caitlyn suddenly felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.
Nate: Wanna escape?
Caitlyn smiled as she saw the text.
Caitlyn: Sure :)
Nate: Ok. Meet me in the garden in 5. :)
As Caitlyn looked up she saw Nate stand up and walk to the kitchen. No one noticed that he left. Now she just had to wait 5 minutes so it didn't look too suspicious.
She couldn't wait to get Nate for herself, so the first couple of minutes were slowly passing by – too slow Caitlyn thought. But then she realized that it was time to tell Nate that she loved him and suddenly she got very nervous.
Maybe I should just stay away…
No Caitlyn! Don't be such a chicken!
You have to do it.
You can do it.
Yes, I can do it.
Oh no, there's only 1 minute left! I can't do it!
You have to go now!… That means: stand up and walk out!
Okay, I'm doing it…
Caitlyn finally excused herself and walked to the bathroom. But instead of going in to the bathroom she quickly walked out of the front door. She made her way around the house. She walked fast to make sure she didn't change her mind.
Nate stood with his back leaned against the big tree they had in the garden. He smiled when he saw Caitlyn turn around the corner of the house.
"Hey." Nate said before he kissed Caitlyn's lips.
Caitlyn just smiled up at him. Suddenly all her worries disappeared and she remembered how much she actually loved Nate. She wasn't thinking about the words 'I love you' anymore. She was thinking about the meaning of the three words.
"Let's go for a walk." Nate said as he pulled his arm around Caitlyn's waist from the side.
Nate led her out of the garden and out to the road. They walked in silence for a moment. Caitlyn rested her head on Nate's shoulder.
"Caitlyn," Nate suddenly said.
"Yes?" Caitlyn said as she stopped walking and turned to Nate.
"You have seemed a bit distant today, is anything bothering you?" Nate asked as he looked into her eyes.
Caitlyn looked down and said: "No, everything is fine."
"I think we had this conversation earlier too, and I can still tell something is wrong." Nate said as he lifted Caitlyn's chin so she looked into his beautiful brown eyes.
Caitlyn didn't know what to say. Well she did, but she felt like her lips were sealed.
"Don't you feel the same about me anymore?" Nate asked sounding a bit sad.
As Caitlyn heard this, her eyes widened. Had he really thought that she didn't liked him anymore?
"I'm sorry if I changed or something." Nate said now also looking sad.
Caitlyn couldn't do anything but shake her head.
"Talk to me Caitlyn," Nate begged, "Tell me what's on your mind."
That had to be the magic words, cause right there Caitlyn had a strong feeling of just telling him.
"Nate…," She slowly said, "There's something I have wanted to tell you all day."
Nate nodded
"I don't feel the same about you anymore, I think... I-I may...love you." Caitlyn stuttered and looked down as soon as she said the last part.
Oh my god, I can't believe I did it! Oh no, he probably isn't feeling the same way.. ! Please say something Nate…!
Nate slowly lifted Caitlyn's chin so she looked at him again.
"Have this been the reason for your strange acting today." Nate asked with a smile.
"I guess." Caitlyn almost whispered.
After a moment of silence Nate said: "Caitlyn… I think I may love you too."
Did he just tell me he loved me! No it can't be real! He's kissing me now… It must be real! – Well this kiss is definitely real!
"Where's Caitlyn?" Ella asked.
"She went to the bathroom for about 20 minutes ago." Mitchie said sounding a bit worried.
"That's a long time ago." Peggy said.
"But, where's Nate?" Jason asked.
A moment went by with silence.
"Ahaa," Mitchie said with a little grin, as she finally realized that the two of them were together.
