Show Me Love (Nathan Sykes and Ariana Grande)

My Dork

NATHAN’S POV

          “Bye; I love you too”, I stared at the last text message that Ari sent me and I couldn’t help but smile again for the fifth time of reading that text. “Wow, she actually spells the whole thing out”, Tom said from behind me, reading over my shoulder. I looked at him with confusion. He said, “Kelsey doesn’t say it all out. She’ll just put ily”. I nodded. I could never imagine Ariana and I taking those special three words for granted.

          “NO”, Max and Siva yelled together at the telly. Max threw a chip at the telly and Tom came and asked what had happened. I was never into sports and that kind of stuff and I ran up to my room. I pushed the door open and closed it shut. I tossed my phone onto my bed and jumped on beside it. I felt lonely without Ari.

           I sat up into a sitting position on the bed and looked around the room. There were pictures of me and her all around the room. I sighed and pulled out my phone. I logged onto Twitter because Ari’s account was on here because her phone was out of battery a couple days ago. I posted a couple things and followed fans for the next thirty minutes. I was half asleep on my phone when I heard the door shut from downstairs. Knowing it was Ariana, I raced down the stairs. My heart pounded as I saw her dragging Nina through the door. “Max, help me”, she half yelled, slurring her words. Max ran over to help her pull Nina and he took her from her.

          Ariana was stumbling over herself and she had to grab the wall to steady her. She put her back against the wall and tilted her head up. She was giggling and I ran over to her. She smiled when she saw me. I wrapped an arm around her and pulled her off the wall. She crashed into my chest and I steadied her. “Nareesha, what happened”, I asked nervously. Nareesha herself was stumbling and she fell on the couch.

          “She’s high”, she slurred. Kelsey was crashed on the floor and Tom was carrying her to a chair. Ariana was still giggling. “What do you mean she’s high”, I said through gritted teeth. “Only a little bit. Some guy offered us something and Kelsey took it. We all took it but Ariana only took a little. She should be sober in an hour or so. But she’s the most s-sober of a-all of us”, she slurred. “Don’t forget Nareesha, she’s a tiny b-bit drunk”, Nina stuttered on the wall. Ariana protested, “I’m n-not d-d-drunk. That was a f-fun n-night though”, she giggled. Nina and Nareesha giggled also.

          Max was trying to get Nina’s attention and Siva was trying to get Nareesha off the couch. Ariana leaned into me and I wrapped my arms around her waist and she leaned her head on my shoulder. “You know you’re never getting drunk again right”, I said playfully. She laughed, “Yeah I know”.

          “But Ariana remember that one guy who wouldn’t leave you alone”, Kelsey giggled out. She didn’t answer so Kelsey continued on, “He was cute. You should’ve d-danced with him. Why didn’t you go with him”? I felt myself tense up, “Maybe because she has a boyfriend”. Kelsey giggled and lay on top of Tom. Max was trying to haul Nina down the hall to his bedroom, but he ended up just dragging her.

          I didn’t want to hurt Ariana so I leaned down and put an arm under her knees and another arm secured around her back and I carried her bridal style. She giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck and leaned her head on my chest. I couldn’t help but smile as I walked up the stairs. “This place looks like a rainbow”, she said wistfully. Yup, she was definitely high.

           I brought her to my room and laid her gently on the bed. She pulled herself up in a sitting position. I then noticed she was still in her outfit and she still had those boots that made me sweat. I shrugged the thought away and went over to my drawer and picked up one of my old hoodies from Gloucester. I handed it to her and she smiled, “Thanks Nathan”. She stumbled to the bathroom and opened the door and shut it closed. About five minutes later, she came out.
