nathan harvey was your person.

he understood your fashion choices, your music, and why you acted the way you acted. he knew you before you even knew yourself.

no, you weren’t dating. or had even talked about having feelings for each other, but it was there. you definitely weren’t just friends when you had half of his shirts laying in your room. or the fact that you always ended up in his bed after your boring lectures.

and there was no way you could be friends when you hooked up with each other on a regular basis.

yeah. that was the one thing you had never told anyone. not even your best friend, jade.

the only people that knew was you and nate. and honestly his roommate, jacob addams— but he didn’t count.

lately? a weird feeling started blooming in your chest everytime you left is penthouse. something that felt close to pain and longing. longing for the one boy you could never have. why? he was the best college QB in the nation, and would be leaving for the NFL next year. you, would be following your own career.

plus, nate had never settled down. he had physically said he didn’t want to settle down until he was at least 30. you on the other hand were a hopeless romantic.

the only reason you were in the hookup arrangement was because you couldn’t say no to his stupidly gorgeous blue eyes. not even for a second.

yet, it was as if nothing had changed at all between you when you were around your friends or his teammates. however, when a guy got to close, he would magically appear. or when he got anytime to be alone, he would kiss you as if he had been starved from it.

but sure, you were best friends. every time you brought it up, it was a ‘stupid conversation’ to him. like last night, you tried to tell him how you were feeling, but he shut it down— and instead convinced you into his bed.

the day after was even worse. nate was acting like nothing was wrong, even when he knew you were pissed, but you tried your best to brush it off— especially when his twin sister came over.

his twin sister, cameron, had been having roommate troubles, which led to nate (being the best brother like always) to offer a place to stay. you were so glad to finally have someone to talk to other than nate, which was normally fights, or jacob, who just didn’t care.

there was a knock on the door and you practically ran over, opening the door to see cameron.

“my mini me!” you exclaimed pulling her into a hug. she laughed, gladly hugging you back before you started talking her ear off about how excited you were. until nate walked into the entry.

immediately, you grabbed cameron’s bags— pushing past nathan without giving him a second glance. the last thing you needed was to ruin a day that was supposed to be happy. and nate had a great time ruining and perfecting your life.
