Nate's Pov
When I woke up later today my neck felt like it would fall off and my head ached like hell. Drinking is nice but a hangover is like a pain in the ass. I hissed sitting up with my hands holding my head which felt like they would fall anytime. I was at Alec's place on the coach or maybe he's favorite rug. Alec would kill me if he found me on his rug.
"What's the time?" I groaned searching for my phone.
"12:30pm" Alec replied. I turned, how long has he been standing there?
"What? Did you tell ma I was at your house?" I asked
"No" he shrugged "Why would I?"
I rolled my eyes standing up. I was too tired to reply to him. Geez I felt like shit. I opened his cupboard looking for anything that could cure my hangover. After taking the mini hangover drink I found I went back to the coach.
"What are you doing?" Alec asked
"Going back to sleep" I replied, closing my eyes.
"If you wake up and decide to go out, remember to lock the door" he said. He was probably going out cause I could hear him picking his car keys.
"Yes mom"I replied sleepily. Alec probably replied but I didn't hear a single thing.
Some hours later I got up tiredly, the headache was gone and I was back to normal. Took a bath, washing away the stench drinking had left on me.
I changed into fresh clothes and left the house to get something to eat. I was really hungry. Maybe a cup of milk and a snack would be nice, I thought to myself.
After eating lunch or rather dinner since it was way past launch time I took a stroll. I was really tired and Gianna wasn't helping. Did I mess up that much? I mean I know I did wrong leaving without saying anything but what could I do? If my father found out I was dating her it could be worse.
I'm not gonna think about this. I wanna get some coffee. I heard Gianna had a coffee shop now. I smiled remembering how she would go on and on about how sweet she found coffee the first time she drank it. She was so cute. I wondered where it was as I walked down the street looking for it.
I felt like a fool. I had gone into different stores looking for her but nobody named Gianna worked anywhere and even when I found one it was the dead owner's name and believe me I know that my Gianna is alive.
"My Gianna…"I whispered. I missed her. I sighed. I should just get coffee from any coffee shop rather than looking for her coffee shop when I don't even know the name or where it was.
I walked quietly into an empty coffee shop. I think I saw a young boy stepping out of it not too long.
"Did you forget something?" The owner asked.
Gianna? I looked up, it really was her. All this time I've been looking for her coffee shop and it was here? Wow. The heavens must be on my side.
"No...I came to get a cup of coffee" I replied quietly. She turned around immediately, looking at me surprised. Was she expecting someone else?
"N...Nate?" She asked "What are you doing here?'
"Coffee" I replied "That's if you don't mind"
If I say I wasn't scared she was gonna throw me out any minute then I do be lying because I was scared as fuck that she was gonna tell me to get out any second.
She looked at me for a moment then finally said "Sure have a sit"
"Are you serious?" I said immediately
"Yes Nate"She said going to the counter "Have a sit and you can drop your jacket wherever you like"
"Uhm ok" I said, taking a table for two and dropping my jacket on the arm rest.
"What would you like?" She asked
"Americano"I replied
She gave me a confused look. I knew why. Everybody knew I had a sweet tooth and Americano would be too bitter for me. Since highschool, after I drank coffee for the first time, I decided never to drink it and believe me I didn't till I started working and realised I need a bit of it.
"Here you go"Gianna said, giving me the Coffee and a slice of cake.
"I didn't ord…"
"Leftover"she said
"Ok"I said quietly, taking only a sip from the coffee and eating only the cake. The whole place suddenly became quiet, the only sounds were the sounds of cars passing by. She sat down opposite me, which was shocking but I didn't mean even though I wanted her on my legs, not that chair.
"Did you cheat on me in highschool?"she asked
