SPRING BREAK PT. 1

Summer jumped on her bed. She placed the big red book entitled “Collection of William Shakespeare’s works” right in front of her. A huge smile crept on her features as she opened the book and flipped through the pages. In her head, there was no better way to spend the first day of spring break than catching up on some leisure reading and after she was done with that, she could work double shifts at the cafe she works in or do some advance reading. Knowing herself fully well though, she’s more likely to do all of the above. Most people her age would be too busy getting wasted in the Bahamas or some fancy island God knows where, but Summer wasn’t like most people her age. She was the girl who took learning, grades, and life a little bit too seriously. She didn’t think she was to blame, however. Life had been a little too hard on her but she wasn’t one to complain. Good things and bad things happen to everyone. It just so happens she always got the smaller end of the stick.

Dressed in her Columbia University sweatshirt and white shorts that were probably shorter than what people would normally expect her to wear. She had her hair up in a messy bun and she wore her glasses instead of the usual contact lenses. She didn’t care though. It wasn’t like she was going outside. She was dressed not to impress, but for comfort so she could just bum around inside the comforts of her room, alone with her books. She took a deep breath, allowing the scent of her books fill her nostrils as a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She was about to start reading when she heard her door open. She tried to focus on the Shakespeare’s words or at least look like she was even if her attention was then captured by the person who entered her room.

It was early in April, birds started to show their faces off again and chirp songs in the early hours of the morning-- just a few hours before Nathan's alarm would go off. Most of the times it was a thing that would bother the curly headed guy, something that would irritate him and make him shout, grunt and what not for irrupting his night rest, but today-- today was different.Spring break had just started less than twelve hours ago and even though the boy hadn't spoken too much about it he had plans for the upcoming future. Two tickets were saved in one of the drawers of his wardrobe and boy what was he excited. Nate could still remember last spring break like it was yesterday-- well, actually he couldn't because of all the drinks that he had consumed, but he remembered it vague and knew it was amazing by all the stories that Lo had reminded him of and Nolan too. 

However, Nate still hadn't told the big news to Summer yet and time was ticking. He knew that if he would've told her earlier he could immediately put the clothes back in his wardrobe instead of the suitcase where he had put them in now. The brunette was never a big partier and honestly, Nate liked it that way. He wouldn't call himself possesive or anything, but to say that Nathan got a little jealous every now and then would be an understatement. So that's why he stood there, leaning against the door and biting his lip as he watched his favourite girl in the world reading one of her books. He was pretty sure she had read it already, probably knew the lines one by one but kept reading the story like it was new, over and over. A slight smile was captured on Nate's face when Summer noticed his appereance. Stepn by step the boy walked closer, until he could place his arms around her waist and licking his dry lips, searching for the right words or how to put it but the only thing that Nate could think of was the messy yet perfect bun on top of her head and the frame of her glasses-- Nate was certain that Summer didn't know how sexy it made her look. Trying to swallow the lump in his throat away he grinned. "You need to save that book for later." He tried, pursing his lips together as he figured this probably wasn't the best way to put it. "I mean-- eh, you know it's spring break and to make a long story short, we're kinda going to The Bahamas?" His words more sounding like a question this time as he patiently waited for an answer.

Summer had the most beautiful dream she had in a very long time. She dreamt of liking a curly haired boy with enticing eyes, a beautiful smile, and dimples to match. In her dream, they decorated his house for Christmas. The boy was against it at first, but eventually, he gave in. They laughed and smiled while they put up the tree and the ornaments they had picked out. It was a happy scene, the happiest it has been in a long time for her. It was too good to be true but at the same time, she didn’t want to wake up to the sad reality of things. She didn’t want to wake up alone and on the streets in a Christmas day. Summer became aware of her surroundings when she felt curly hair touch her face as someone nuzzled in her neck. She took it as her cue to wake up despite not having the urge to. It wasn’t until much later when the boy spoke up that she realized that it wasn’t all a dream. It was real. Everything that had happened was real. She had spent the past few days with the boy lying next to her to make Christmas better this year, and she’d be lying if she said it wasn’t. They had gone Christmas shopping too and she can’t recall a time she enjoyed as much as she enjoyed that with Nate. Despite not having much, she made sure that she got everyone a small token of appreciation for the past few months she had stayed there.

A smile crept on her features, keeping her eyes closed, as the boy tried waking her up and eventually asking her to wake him up. She opened an eye and watched as the boy wrapped his body in a blanket. She chuckled, scooting closer to him and wrapping her arms around his waist, burying her head in his chest and taking in his scent. “Good morning to you too,” she yawned, pulling herself a few inches away from him, “Moonlight. And merry Christmas!” She greeted him, finally opening both her eyes and giving him a quick peck on the lips. Her eyes followed his orbs that were focused on the scene outside. An ecstatic gasp echoed in Nate’s room as Summer pushed herself off his bed and walked towards the window. “Wow, this is beautiful!” She glanced at the boy before turning her attention back to the snow outside. “This is a sign that today is gonna be a good day. No, scratch that, today will be a great day. But first,” she raised her index finger in the air as she took a deep breath, “I’m gonna get my gift for you first. Hold on.” She dashed towards the door to go back to her room and get the small gift she got the boy, hoping he’d like it. It was a given that she couldn’t afford anything expensive, but she really wanted to get Nate something he’d like. Opening the door to her room, she went straight to the closet and opened a box where she kept the gift she had bought him, not wanting the boy to discover it whenever he visited her without warning. She stared at the gift in her hand, nervous about giving it to Nate. For a second she debated on going back empty handed and telling him she misplaced it, but then her mind wandered to it’s the thought that counts and that was enough to make her feet find its own way to his room. Turing the door knob with one hand, her other hand kept the neatly wrapped present behind her. “Close your eyes.” She told him, a huge grin was on her face as she moved towards him slowly.

The boy yawned as he rubbed in his eyes and did another attempt to open his eyes, this time letting them stay open instead of closing them again. Nate slightly squeezed his eyes together, trying to get used to the lighting as he turned his night lamp on with one of his hands, the other never really letting his hand leave Summer, fingers wandering over her hip as he felt her hands rest on his waist. As she buried her head against his chest, he pressed hi lips against her forehead, his hand moving a little up to her shoulders and let out a sigh -- still couldn't really understand why they would wake up so early. They still had the whole day left, wouldn't matter if they would wake up at 1PM or 8AM, like they had done now. Of course he somewhere knew in the back of his mind that he had done it because Summer liked to be at things on time and Nate having always being a little grumpy in the morning, it was maybe for the better. It surprised Nathan how quickly the brunette seemed to get up after their small kiss, a frown reaching his face, wondering what she was going to do till she took a little sprint to the window to take a look outside. Nate kinda wanted to see it himself, but being a bit lazy he decided to not move, keeping himself under the blanket, warm and comfortable. "It's just a little snow though." Nate mumbled, letting himself fall back on his pillow as he watched the girl a few feet away from him. "How could that forecast that today is gonna be a good day?" He questioned and nodded in respond, rolling his eyes as she left the room as fast as she had stood up to walk over to the window. The boy chuckled, looking around his room, strolled to the chair right next to his desk to grab his t-shirt before pulling it over his head and walking back to his head, scratched the back of his head. 

It didn't take long for Summer to return, making the boy smile as she walked in, one hand behind her back. Nate tilted his head, sitting cross-legged as he listened to her. "Close my eyes?" He repeated her words, wanted to ask why, but decided not to as he saw the wide grin on his face and chuckled. "Alright, fine, fine, just 'cause it's you." He admitted, closing his eyes, holding one hand over it just to be sure and convince Summer that he really wasn't cheating. Summer and Nate never really agreed on buying presents for each other, hell, if you would have told Nathan that he would spend his upcoming christmas with a girl, he would've laughed at you, telling you that it was something impossible, but still it happened and Nate didn't come with empty hands, had thought a while about buying the perfect present for the girl, in the end becoming two, wasn't planning on giving them right away at the same time. The first one was something the curly boy had thought of for a while now, but never really saw the opportunity or a way in how she would accept it. Plane tickets, two pair, a trip to Paris and that was not just because of the Eiffel Tower. Summer had been talking a lot about her dad up in France and somehow the boy felt that this was the right thing to do, give her the chance to visit her father. The other one was just something that Nate wanted to give her, something that she could keep with her whenever, as a reminder of the times they were sharing together. "Can I open my eyes already?" The boy asked out of all sudden and bit on his lip. "Just come here, Summer, m'getting a bit impatient." Nate laughed, and bit his lip as he waited for Summer to come over.

The boy woke up by the buzzing feeling of his phone right next to him, a groan leaving his mouth as he turned around a little. "Gotta be kiddin' me," Nathan muttered, nuzzling into the girl's neck who laid right next to him, his lips wandering over the skin. Nate's eyes still closed as he turned his phone off and threw it somewhere in the room, hearing it smack on the ground but couldn't care less about it -- just hoped that the screen wouldn't crack, didn't want to buy his third phone this year. He didn't even remember why the hell he decided to set an alarm, why he wanted to wake up before Summer in first place until the date of today started to come up in his mind. It was Christmas. December the 25th, the day that Summer had been waiting for what like seemed forever, had forced him into decorating the massive staircase, put up a tree in the library and even the living room -- he could still see the surprised face of mrs. Finnley in his mind when she noticed that they were putting up the Christmas lights, had seen the little twinkle in her eyes and the slight smile that played on her lips, how she seemed to be relieved. First Nate didn't really understand why she had that smile, maybe thought that she was just happy she didn't have to do it herself, but then he realized that they never really had Christmas decorations up and it was all thanks to Summer -- thinking that this was the reason for the smile on the woman's face.

"You gotta wake up, Sunshine," Nate whispered in the brunette her ear - his voice husky, an arm around her waist as he pulled her in a little closer, kissing her temple. As Nate said the words, his eyes were still closed, having a hard time himself to wake up, no idea what time it actually was, but guessed that it was just a little before eight. "No actually, you gotta wake me up." The boy yawned and rubbed in his eyes, pulling the blanket a little up, would prefer it to just lay in bed the whole day and do nothing, but knew that there were things on the schedule, things that Summer wanted to do and although Nate didn't really have a clue what any of those were, he would follow her without even hesitating, follow her lead, knowing it'd be better than those fancy dinners without doubting. As the boy tried to wake up by himself, he slightly opened his eyes, squeezing them a little together, let his hand go through his hair and bit his lip, taking a look around the messy room, clothing thrown in the corner, drawings crumpled into balls on the floor and open school books lying everywhere, you could hardly still see the carpet because of it. Taking a peak out of the window, Nathan noticed a slight change in the weather, making him smirk; White flakes slowly falling down on the yet unseen ground. "It's snowing," The boy concluded as he watched the sight, "looks like we're having a white December after all." Nate continued talking, playing with the girl's hair as he said the words and turned his head to the side. "Merry Christmas, Sunshine."

Nathan wasn't even sure what Summer had said anymore, words dull sounding and his view all blurry. It didn't take him long to finally close his eyes and drift away, a dreamless night, no nightmares, nothing, made the boy feel all rested when he woke up again, his arm resting on the girl her stomach, her head rest on his chest. A satisfied smile played on his lip, thinking about all the things that had happened over the last night and how they ended up here after a quick make out session in the hallway. It was unbelievable if you thought about it, if you knew how distant Summer had been over the past few weeks but Nate couldn't be more happy with it and just hoped that it could last forever, that it would stay like this for always and not change a thing.

Nate gently pushed the girl off of him, his hand going through her hair, lips pressing against her forehead before getting out of bed. It surprised him that he woke up before her, wasn't really the morning person, more the one who woke up somewhere late in the afternoon. The curly guy yawned, turning around once again just to check if he didn't wake up the brunette, but when he was convinced that he didn't, he walked downstairs, making some tea for both of them, knowing that Summer would probably wake up soon and brought it back with him upstairs. By the open doors to his father's office, he knew that he wasn't the only one who woke up early, but tiptoed up the stairs, hoping he wouldn't notice, didn't want to talk to his dad, not now and locked the door of his room behind him, placing one of the mugs on the nightstand next to his bed. "You up already?" He whispered to the girl, but when he didn't get any answer he decided to place the other mug on his desk and took a sip of the tea before he overlooked his sketches, grabbing his sketchbook out of his drawer and took his pencil, drawing swift lines over the thin paper, humming a song that had been playing over in his head for days. Nate hadn't even noticed what he was drawing, until the shadows and contours made progress, realizing that the fine lines perfectly matched the slightly messy hair of the girl just a few feet away from him, how the shadows fitted just fine with the girl's and turned into her jaw line, a frown reaching his forehead once he started working on the eyelashes, erasing it when it went wrong and trying it over once again until it was perfect. You wouldn't say that the boy was a perfectionist, but when it came down to these kinda things it was different - Nate seemed to be living in a whole different world when he was drawing, not noticing anything around him and living in his own bubble, Summer her words replaying in his mind. 'I haven't been this happy', it made him feel better, like he was worth it, that someone actually cared about him.
