The Best Man novel Chapter 39

"You can wait out here for me", she held me at arms length,

"Are you going to be okay?"

"I'm going to be fine", she tried her best to smile, but I could see she was nervous, and I pulled her in for a hug

"I'll be right here when you come back", I said, and she nodded before turning on her feet to follow the nurse who called out her name. I sank back into the seat again and nervously brushed my hands against my legs, not sure what to do with myself anymore before paging through some magazines.

That's when Nathan's call came in, and I asked the passing nurse about the procedure. A few minutes later, Anna appeared in sight again, looking ever so defeated, and I couldn't tell what was going on in her mind. I walked up to her to give her a hug.

"So did she like...go through with it?", he quizzed while folding his arms across his chest

"No, she couldn't. She decided that she wants to keep the baby"

"Oh, that's good", he did the nodding with the face thing and I quirked up an eyebrow

"That I'm really not pregnant or that Anna is keeping the baby?"

"That Anna decided to keep the baby, if she thinks that's what's best for her then I believe she made the right decision"

"Yeah, I believe so too"

"This whole thing explains why you really sounded weird on the phone", he said, trying to lighten the conversation a bit and I smiled, shrugging my shoulders a little

"I really don't like hospitals or clinics, that environment makes me nervous and edgy"

"I understand", he ran his hands up and down my arms. "I'm sorry for going off at you like that, I jumped to conclusions and I sincerely apologize"

"Apology accepted", I smiled at him, and he then took my hand in his

"On a serious note though; if you were to fall pregnant with my child, you would tell me right?", he looked really serious as his eyed fixed on mine

"Of course I would, Nathan", I gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "If something like that should happen, you need to know"

"That's my girl", he kissed the back of my hand before resting his eyes on me again, and I couldn't resist how irresistible he looked

"You're so hot when you're mad though", I bit my bottom lip while wrapping my legs around him and I saw his lip turn up in a side smile before I pulled him closer and started kissing his neck

"If you don't stop what you're doing right now; I'm going to fuck you, right here, right now", he warned and hearing him say it like that kind of turned me on a little, suddenly feeling excited at his command

"Then what are you waiting for?", I nibbled on his ear and he grunted from the back of his throat, his grip on my thighs tightening a little before he let go

"I need you to walk yourself to where we are going next", he grabbed me by the waist, picking me up from the counter so that I stood on my own two feet

"Where are we going?", I asked as he was already pulling me behind him

"Just come with me, you'll see"

*****

"I'm in danger, but I savour the thrill of you"

"Are you out of your mind?", my lips parted in surprise. "We'll be trespassing"

"So, what's your point exactly?", he gave a lazy shrug while staring blankly at me

"My point is we could get arrested", I protested, and he chuckled while jumping off the gate to stand right in front of me

"This is a huge risk, Nathan", I don't think he knew just how ridiculous his idea was, or how severe the consequences were

"Life without any risks isn't a life worth living", he shrugged his shoulders. "-and besides, it's going to be fun on condition that you learn to exercise some chill"

I folded my arms, keeping quiet because he seemed to have an answer for everything and so it was pointless to argue with him

"Do you need me to help you jump?"

-obviously

"I don't think this is a good idea-", I was interrupted by him suddenly lifting me up on his shoulders, ignoring my protest completely as he helped me to climb over the gate. He breathed out a sigh after he jumped over and brushed the soil off his hands while straightening his posture.

"That wasn't hard now, was it?", he smirked at me, taking my hand in his again, and we walked towards the pool

"So why did you bring me here?", I asked, and he took a deep breath as he looked into the clear blue waters

"This was one of my favorite places when I was still a kid, I used to come here every weekend", he started taking his shoes off and dipped his feet into the water and I sat beside him with my legs folded

"Why here?"
