Chapter 20

Lucas

We are watching a movie of some sort . Together, Cam and Summer sitting by the far corner in each other's arms .

We moved the couch behind us and piled a bunch of warm and soft blankets around the living room . We are watching some kind of movie Summer chose . I don't even know what's going, because I'm already feeling sleepy.

Josh and Wylder are getting kind of cozy besides the other couple and there's no doubt in my mind that they are together.  And I'm left stuck between Tryon and Nathan, I sigh heavily. This is not exactly a good spot to be stuck in .

Nathan and have been keeping our little relationsip under the wraps.  He just doesn't want anybody knowing, his parents already do and they didn't take the revelation well . So I can imagine how the others will take it . For now, we can only hope they don't notice whatever is happening between us.

" Ewww, guys stop!" Tryon throws a pillow at the couple making out . Even Josh throws a few popcorns at them , faking a loud gagging sound.

" Guysss!" Josh scowls when the two continue making out aggressively . The rest of us just laugh  , ignoring the two completely. They are doing that to annoy Josh even further anyways.

Out of nowhere, I feel a warm large hand over my thigh, for a second I think it is Tryon but when I turn my head to Nathan, I find him staring at me , smirking a little.  I feel my insides getting warm , I quickly look back at the TV . Shifting a little, I know what Nathan is trying to do and somehow, it's working .

" This movie sucks!" Tryon throws a few popcorns at the TV . We all groan , telling him to shut up . The movie sucks to him because he hates romantic Movies, some of us don't .

" So Lucas, have you thought of a name yet?" Wylder asks out of nowhere . Him and I haven't gotten a chance to talk one on one . It's better that way . I don't even know what we would talk about, the two of us .

I find myself stealing a few glances at Nathan, who looks at me with a smile on his face . " Not yet ." I say to Wylder, who just hums in reply .

" I know, if it's a girl , you should name her Summer and if it's a boy, you should name him Cam . Cool , right?" Cam chimes in .  Peeking over Summer's shoulder who's literally on his lap .

" Don't do that Lucas . You don't want your child turning into this" Tryon says, pointing a finger at the two who just grin innocently at me .

" Well, I think whatever name you decide on , will be cool ." Josh speaks up . Everyone goes 'awe'  , even Wylder simpers beside Josh . Oh well ...if that's not obvious then I don't know what it is .

" Do you think it's okay that I invited Tunner for dinner tomorrow?" Tryon whispers beside me when everyone goes back to doing whatever they were doing.

" What? Why?" I question. As much as I appreciate Summer's efforts to get me laid, Tunner is not someone I wanna spend another hour with .

He's a great guy . Just so freaking perfect . He always says the right things, even asks the right questions . However, he's not Nathan . He will never be Nathan .

" I have plans tomorrow ." I mumble.

" Come on, he's really into-"

" He has plans with me Tryon . Drop it ." Nathan states plainly . Tyron immediately goes silent. I don't know what to do so I just keep my mouth shut too and focus on the movie .

" What was that about anyways?" Tryon asks me . We are walking side by side to the door . The movie is over and everyone is leaving .

" What?" I shove my hands in my hoodie pockets so I could touch my huge warm belly .

" Nathan , I mean, he's starting to piss me off with how he's acting . Are you two a thing or something?"

" Oh no!" I shoot back . I purse my lips when Tryon eyes me " We are just friends . It's just that ...in his nature to be protective, you know ."

" From my point of view, I think you deserve someone better, someone like Tunner . Guys like Nathan will hurt you while claiming that they love you ." He says , dismissing my poor attempt at reasoning with him . " Just incase you decide to get in a relationship with him or someone like him ." He adds when I just gape at him.

" Okay, thanks?" I answer him . Unsure of what he expects me to say to all of that.

Tryon gives me a quick hug and walks out of the door . I just stand there, pondering over what he just said .

" Are you okay?" Josh appears next to me . I just give him a half shrug " You know, Tryon has a point "

" Seriously? You were eavesdropping?" I look at him in disbelief . Narrowing my eyes at him when he just shrugs .

" I wasn't exactly doing th- Actually I was , sorry but I was . And I'm with him on this one . " He pats my shoulder . Waving me bye without allowing me to utter even one word .

Wylder is the third person to follow, when he stands beside me by the door . I can't help but sigh in exasperation " You too?" I mutter .

" What about me? " Wylder turns to me, leaning on the doorway with his hands in his zipped up jacket , looking over my short form . I have to strain my neck glancing up at him .

" You want to drop some advice on who I should and shouldn't be with?" I find myself rolling my eyes when Wylder just laughs , as if I said something funny .

" Gosh no, you can be with whoever you want Lucas . I don't really care much about that but I am curious about something else though..."

" Yeah?" I gawk at him . He shakes his head a little, gazes at my face then back at my belly . " What is it?"

" Are you going to like breastfeed the baby? Looking at your-"

" No ." I press my lips together into a thin line . Now that he mentioned it, I never thought of it but I'm not about to have that conversation with Wylder . Nope .

" Hmhmm, okay . Just curious" he holds his hands up in surrender . Slowly exiting the apartment . I spare him one last glare before slamming the door.

There's so much to go over and even fix at this point.  However, first thing first, giving birth safely is my first priority . The rest will follow .
