No Strings Attached

Chapter 2- He Likes Me?

"Only the best." Heather smiled to herself.

I attempted to get my bag out of the ride, but failed miserably when I let go, and waited for the loud sound for it to make when it hit the ground.

Nathan's P.O.V

When I got out of the car, I decided to go out and help Jordan with her bags. I caught sight of Jordan, whose bag slipped out of her fingers, and I was quick to go and catch it.

“Thanks!” Jordan beamed and took the bag. “I got some precious CDs and Posters in there.”

“Of who? A famous and absolutely amazing group called ‘The Wanted’?” I smirked.

She was walking towards the hotel and then turned around. “Famous? Apparently not famous enough for me to know them.” She joked.

I pretended to gasp and then ran towards her. “Well then you obviously have not been living your life to the fullest, I see.”

We got into the lobby and she dropped her bags on the floor, not caring about what anyone said.

I laughed a little bit and stood in front of her.

“Move aside Sykes, I’m trying to check in.” she said.

“Make me.” I replied with a grin.

“Are you really pulling the ‘Make Me’ card right now?” she asked.

“Apparently I am. Now say that The Wanted are the most popular and best group on the planet and that you think Nathan Sykes is the hottest member.” I smirked and crossed my arms.

She just stood there and also crossed her arms, “And if I don’t?”

“Looks like you’re not getting to your room anytime soon.”

“Nathan, don’t be silly.” She said and tried to walk passed me.

“Oh no ya don’t!” I said and picked Jordan up and threw her over my shoulder. I started running outside the door, past everyone else who just gave me a weird look.

“NATHAN SYKES, PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW OR I WILL CUT OFF YOUR BALLS AND FEED THEM TO THE ANIMALS!” she screamed.

I stopped and said, “Woah, harsh there, aren’t we?”

“Put me down Nathan!” she said.

“Then say it.”

“Say what?” she asked, pretending like she didn’t know exactly what I was talking about.

“Oh you know what I’m talking about.”

She sighed, “Fine. The Wanted are the best and most popular group on the planet.”

“Annddd??”

“And I think that Nathan Sykes is the hottest member.”

I smiled to myself, “Alright, I’m happy with myself.” I said and put her down.

She straightened her shirt and then whacked me in the back of the head.

“Ouch!” I exclaimed.

Jordan stuck out her tongue and ran towards the lobby laughing.

She was so cute.

*A few Hours Later [Everyone is in their own rooms and it’s like 9:30pm now.]

Jordan’s P.O.V

I fell down on my bed and started flipping through the channels with the remote in my hands.

“Wow, we’re in a whole new country and yet there’s still nothing to watch.” I mumbled.

Rachael fell down on the bed beside me and handed me a sticky note.

I gave her a confused face, “What’s this?”

“Lover boy wanted me to give you his number. Oh, and he said text him as soon as you get it.” She said with a smile and gathered her hair into a ponytail.

Kat jumped in from the other room and fell down beside me. “Ooohhh looks like Nathan Sykes has the hots for you girlyy!!”

We basically got two rooms in this hotel. And there’s like a door in between both our rooms that lets us go into each other’s rooms whenever we want.

“Well it looks like someone needs to tell him that I already have a boyfriend.” I said.

“Yeah, a boyfriend that treats you like you’re nothing! Girl, you need a man that will treat you right. And guess what? There is a sweet, attractive, young British boy standing outside your door that can give you the kind of love you’ve always dreamed of!” Rachael said, sounded slightly angry at just the mention of my ‘boyfriend’s’ name.

The girls all knew what he’d does to me. He’d always tell me that I’m worthless, treat me like crap, call me a bunch of names. Sometimes when he was really mad at me, he’d actually beat me. I’ve been forced to have a relationship with him for almost a year now. I’ve tried and tried to get out of the relationship, but that’s when he got the knife out and caused the cuts on my wrists.

Lots of people look at them and think they’re suicide cuts, but I wish they were. I’m too scared and ashamed to tell them that they’re cuts that my own ‘boyfriend’ did to me.

I grabbed a pillow and stuffed my face in it. “Nathan doesn’t like me, he’s just being nice, that’s all.”

“I’ve seen that look in his eyes that he has when he’s talking to you. And boy, does he talk! I was sitting right next to you both in the car and I could see the smile on his face everytime he said your name.” I heard Heather say. She must’ve walked into the room after Kat.

I lifted my face and rested my chin on the pillow. “Really?”

“You honestly think I’d lie about that? I was trying to talk to Max in the car, but I couldn’t even think over your constant laughing!” Heather giggled and grabbed the remote from me. “You better take him before somebody else does.”

“Yeah, but Jason-“ I began, horrified by just the thoughts of what he’d do.

“If that Jason comes anywhere between you and Nathan, I will kick his butt all the way to Africa. Come on Jordan, you know I did karate.” Kat said and let out a little ninja scream.

“You went for like 48 hours and then quit.” Heather pointed out.

“So? I learned quite a lot from those 48 hours.” Kat defended herself. She turned and smirked at Rachael and Heather.

They somehow all the clue and began singing, “JORDAN AND NATHAN, SITTING IN A TREE,”

“Oh gosh.” I said to myself and stuffed my face in the pillow again.

“K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!” they finished.

Just when I thought they were finished, I was wrong. Willow jumped in the room and sang, “First comes love!”

Kat smiled and continued, “Then comes marriage!”

“THEN COMES JORDAN AND THE BABY CARRIAGE!!” they sang together.

I grabbed the pillow I was stuffing my face in and threw it at Willow. We all ended up laughing and talking about how amazing the boys were.

Looks like my girls each got their own fave!

Does Nathan really like me? Oh no he couldn’t…could he? What will Jason do when he finds out? Will any of the girls end up with any of the boys?

Oh gosh, let’s see what the future holds.

Whatcha think of it? Feeback is always appreciated! (:
