Chereads / ORANGE & GRAPE (ERICH & NATHAN) / Chapter 9 - WATER SCENE

Chapter 9 - WATER SCENE

***

Erich ran so fast to his room, and locked the door after he got in. He didn’t run away because he’s angry at Nathan’s reaction, but because he couldn’t carry on feeling like he’s lying to Nathan. Erich always wanted to have a boyfriend, someone who will fall in love with at the first sight, and who will make him feel good without trying much, and that person is Nathan. At first he thought Nathan knew that he’s actually a guy, and it made him fall deeply in love with him, but as time goes on, he noticed that Nathan takes him as a girl, and he couldn’t bring himself to tell Nathan that he’s actually a guy, because Nathan never called him a girl or mention: she or her to him, but with Nathan’s actions you could tell that he takes Erich as a girl.

What did I do? How could I ruin something so perfect between me and Erich! I should run after her and apologize.

“Guys where is Nathan and Erich?” Chris asked looking around the room and notice that Michael he’s also not there.

“I saw Erich went outside and Nathan followed him.” Lana replied while eating her pop corns.

It’s been 20 minutes for Erich and Nathan since they’ve been out, and one hour for Michael, Eddie starting to worry about Michael, and he went outside with Lana and Chris who decided to go to look for Nathan and Erich. They saw Nathan at the lobby on the couch with his one left hand on his head, he looks as if the whole world fell upon his head.

“Where is Erich?” Lana asking Nathan, with her eyes roaming around.

“Can you tell me where Erich’s is, room?” Nathan asked Lana, with a gloomy face.

“What happened?” Chris asked worriedly.

“I’m sorry, I can’t explain now, I just need to speak to Erich.” I stated, with a depressed voice, whilst looking down.

Michael arrived to where Nathan is at with others, they are all at the lobby at the moment.

“What’s going on guys?” Michael asked.

“I tried to kiss Erich at the cinema room, and she stormed out of the room, before I could stop her.” I stated with a depressed, sad and gloomy voice. I was so frustrated, all I need, is to talk with Erich.

With Nathan statement, it worried everyone that Nathan still thinks Erich it’s a girl, they are not surprised why Erich running away from the scene. And now they are all worried about Erich. Lana ran to Erich without informing anyone. Then Nathan followed Lana.

Lana knocking on Erich’s door and shouting Erich’s name. Erich heard that its Lana, he opened and grab Lana by her wrist and pulled her inside his room and close the door and lock it.

“Girl, what happened?” Lana asked with a worried face and voice. Well Erich’s friends they call Erich ‘girl’ only when they remembered.

“Nathan tried to kiss me, but I got really scared, since you know I haven’t told him that I’m a guy,” Erich said it with a sad pout.

“I understand girl, and I am really sorry that this is happening to you, and he still thinks that you are a girl indeed, but that’s okay, you will explain to him when you’re ready.” She stated giving Erich a small, nice smile.

Lana gives Erich a tight hug, making Erich to groan. They hear a knock, and they went quiet for a while, “it’s me, open up.” That’s Rose.

“Girl, I think you should talk to Nathan, he’s really worried, if you see him now; he seems like, his world it’s ending.” Rose said with a low soft voice.

“Okay, I guess I should just go out and talk to him.” Erich said while standing up from his bed slowly.

Erich got out to find everyone by his door.

“Erich I am really sorry for my actions, I really didn’t mean for it to happen, I think alcohol got in my head, please forgive me, I don’t want to ruin your vacation, you came here with your friends to relax,” I said with a low raspy voice.

***

Erich got hurt by Nathan words him saying “I REALLY DIDN’T MEAN FOR IT TO HAPPEN,” Erich questioned himself if Nathan he’s into him or not. He’s really confused if he should be sad at Nathan by the words or be relieved that he’s apologizing and everything will go well.

“It’s okay, I am not sad, I just got surprised by your actions only, we are here to enjoy ourselves all of us, so let’s all do that. The night it’s still young for us to be sad.” Erich stated with a comforting voice to Nathan, and it got Nathan smiling.

“Guy’s let’s go outside and play with water, let’s go and drench ourselves, its night and hot,” Rose stated, Chris didn’t wait for anyone to agree, he just began to run heading outside.

***

Michael is walking behind Eddie, looking at Eddie who is with Aaron walking. He sees Aaron wrapping his arm around Eddie’s neck. It made Michael to clench his jaw by Aaron’s reaction. He sped himself and managed to pass them.

“Don’t think too much about what happened, Erich will tell you when Erich is ready.” Toni stated to Nathan, and Edward directed him to shut up whilst Nathan not looking. It got Nathan so confused.

“What do you mean?” I asked at them both with a confused face.

“No, I meant maybe Erich is also into you, but scared to show it, you know!” Toni answered with a careful answer.

“Yeah, I agree with Toni,” that was Edward, talking while nodding his head.

“Okay guys, thank you.” I said while seeing Chris with bucket full of water heading to Aaron.

***

After a while of Erich seeing Nathan standing alone, looking at everyone having fun, he couldn’t hold himself but to bring himself to Nathan.

“Hi,” Erich greeted Nathan, politely.

“Hey, are you okay? I asked, Erich who is so close beside me.

“Yes, I am, Mr. Grape,” Erich stated with a smile on his face, without Nathan realizing that he has a bucket of water in his hand.

When Nathan was about to answer, Erich splashed Nathan with water on his face, and he blast into laughter, with a very high pitch.

“What!!!” I did not see that coming, I shouted with laughter, shouting at Erich who was already far from me with an empty bucket in her hands laughing at me.

Eddie splashed water on Michael by mistake, he was actually trying to splash water at Toni, but the water made it way to Michael’s body somehow, and Michael turned around to check who splashed him, and he found Eddie with an empty bucked paused looking at him. It made Michael laugh so hard when Eddie threw the bucket on the sand and ran, then Michael took the bucket and ran toward Eddie.

He managed to fill the bucket with water and splash Eddie with water, and it made Eddie’s hair to fall on his face covering his eyes, by that it made them both to laugh so hard.
