No Strings Attached, Please?

Warning: mild sexual content

I was a morning person, so I had some quality time to watch Nat sleep. I haven’t felt this serene and safe since I dated Dante; to just wake up next to him and to cuddle in his embrace when the morning comes. And for the first time, I felt it again.

Craving for another warmness since the cold morning came, I curled against Nat’s flawless bare back and stole some of his body warmth. I pressed my nose on the crook of his neck and then found myself encircling his waist while he was sleeping peacefully beside me.

I never found any other guy who really cared about me like Nat did. Well, aside Kale. Nat’s caring side is what I found attractive? I don’t know, but I really liked the way Nat took care of me.

I felt Nat stir, spinning his body around to face me, only to find me who stalking his personal space in his sleeping process. He yawned and slowly sat there while his hand rested under his head. He rested his back on the headboard, letting out another yawn. The blanket we shared that night ran down to his pelvis as I could see he was wearing boxers below.

I supposed that Nat decided to stay over, and he wasn’t the type of guy who would sleep in pajamas or clothes, he liked it more in only boxers so I could peek at some cute packs that built on his abdomen. Well, he wasn’t literally built, but I liked his body shape.

Nat rubbed his eyes to send the sleep away and then scratched his glorious hair while watching me watch him.

“Morning,” he whispered as he picked a pillow and hugged it.

“Morning to you too” I smiled up at him as I tugged on my t-shirt. I hadn’t changed since last night, I was too lazy and too wrapped up in my own drama.

“Did you sleep well?” he asked.

I shrugged my shoulders and then sunk down on the bed again, curling inside the blanket back again. Well, it was so damn cold. Stupid morning.

“You’re cold?” He asked softly.

“Sort of. Aren’t you?”

Nat only crooked a smile as he tugged on the blanket and spread it on his chest. He let out a big yawn as he stretched his body wearily. I only watched him crack his fingers and neck. He turned his head to me just to show how sleepy he looked. His hair was tousled everywhere and while I watched he was scratching his flawless chest. There was something in his look when he looked at me, but I couldn’t catch it.

Nat’s eyes were big and I could tell how hazel his irises looked when some light lit them. The morning sunrays peeked from the curtains and lit up the very side of room, making Nat’s eyes look clear and I could say beautiful. When I was caught staring at his eyes, I could see he pulled out a smirk and was about to joke some smartass comment about how good looking he was.

“Thanks for staying,” I said objecting his smirk.

He still smirked, “Sure. I just thought you need someone so...” he shrugged “Aside the fact that you screamed and moaned my name...” he joked.

“I DID NOT!” I playfully slapped him with the pillow under my head.

“You did! You screamed my name when you’re sleeping it was like ‘Oh yes Nat, deeper, Nat, harder oh… Nat... Nat uh…—“

“In your dream, asshole!” I laughed and then decided to sit on my bed.

“Yes you did! You’re lucky I didn’t record it in a video so you couldn’t deny it. I’m the only one who’s watching that. Damn, even when you’re sleeping, you’re moaning in orgasm! If you want to fuck me so bad, all you need to do is ask… We can make it real…” he grinned from ear to ear and then wiggled his eyebrows on me.

My jaw was on the floor. Did I really do that? Oh my God, that was freaking embarrassing! I even didn’t dream last night, so what’s in the hell I could moan his name.

“Oh Lord!” Nat laughed loudly, “You look like you’ve seen a ghost. I was only joking, you’re a quiet sleeper!” he snickered as he rubbed his stomach as if it was the funniest joke. On the other hand, I could feel my cheeks were burning.

“I fucking hate you!” I spat and punched his shoulder playfully. He only continued his laughter and then suddenly an opened door stunned us.

There stood Mike with confusion on his face, staring at us.

Fuck! I didn’t remember I unlocked the door!

“Nathaniel? What are you doing here?” Mike asked calmly still standing in the doorway. In my fucking doorway.

“Uh… Mike, I was just… uhh...” I knew we’re caught up in the moment. Nat wasn’t wearing anything but boxers, so I guess Mike believed we had sex.

“Fine, fine. You are a couple, but that doesn’t mean you both can sleep together while, your Mom, Savannah, is being fussy over you” he addressed me and I only glared to him. Mike didn’t have right to scold me, he even wasn’t my father.

“I never complain every time I hear your noises with Mom” I retorted back. Mike only sighed and gave up.

“Have it your way, Savannah. I was only checking on you since your Mom left early. She wants me to take care of you,”

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me. Especially from you, Mikail Petowski” I replied bitterly. “Heck, you’re not even my father”

Mike didn’t answer; he only clenched his teeth together and let out a single sigh before slowly closing the door. I could feel Nat squeezing my hand to calm me down, but I ignored him, I only glared to Mike.

“I made you breakfast, and it’d be okay if Nat joined, I’m sure you guys are hungry” he said at last before he closed my door. I heard his step on the stairs when he left.

“Savannah, that was harsh… he’s just taking care of you,”

“I don’t need him. I hate him” I half lied. Yeah I hated him, but I also know he’s a good guy.

“But there was no need to be harsh like that. He cares about you, and he’s a nice guy too”

I rolled my eyes on him, “Whatever. But I didn’t know that my door was unlocked. I thought I locked it since my Mom pounded my door”

I turned my head to Nat who was scratching his head.

“It’s me. I was thirsty so I needed to get some water from the kitchen and I forgot to lock it again”

Alright, fuck then. Mike would probably whine to Mom about my behavior with Nat. Fan-fucking-tastic.



It’s been a month since the last time I argued with Mom. Things were getting normal between us. My Mom refused Dad’s wish to take me with him while I gave up to Mom. Damn, Mom was so stubborn so it made Daddy came regularly to my house just to check on me and spend some quality time together in the backyard. Mom refused to socialize with him so she kept some distance.

Daddy still didn’t want to tell me about his disease, every time I brought it up, he would distract me with another topic. I guess he didn’t want to talk about it.

After a month, finally Lynn broke up with Evan. She went solo again and started to flirt around with jocks. Nat and Igot closer and closer and we’re sorta best friends now. Of course, friends with benefits. Please don’t judge me, but we kinda regularly fucked. I don’t know, but I really enjoyed my time with him. Well, I was single, Dante dated a sexy bimbo, I was bored with Cam’s demand and Nat was there, so I could get some benefit when I was with him. At least he fulfilled my sexual needs. Meanwhile he reasoned that I was his trainer in bed. Silly, I know.

It’s getting tensed when I realized every lunch break, Nat always dragged me to some deserted girls bathroom so we could relieve some of the sexual tension between us. I had multiple orgasms without taking lunch. It’s more like I gave up my lunch break for sex. Then, after Nat dropped me off at home, some nights he would climb up to my room and have sex with me then he would leave at dawn for school.

It was sometime when Nat and I were in the same girls bathroom we always did when we called for sex. This time he’s the one who dragged me to the bathroom with his hurried pace. Our lips collided together when Nat pushed me inside, pushing me further to the bathroom sink until my back hit the cold granite.

Nat lifted me and I felt my body tingle as my ass hit the cold granite sink counter top. Suddenly, without me realizing it, I was naked and his t-shirt hit the ceramic floor. He pushed me backwards softly. Nat pulled my knees up and spread my legs in a blink.

I took a sharp intake of breath when Nat’s face dipped between my legs, but his eyes stayed on mine. When his tongue finally buried deep inside me, my head swayed back and my eyes rolled back in my head.

Nat worked me with his fingers and his tongue until I was screaming his name too loud. Then I yelled at him to finish his business down there and replace it with the real one. Nat took his cock and positioned it at my entrance, but before he pushed in breathlessly, he kissed me passionately and then he quickly slammed into me so hard, hitting that perfect aim that he easily met.

I couldn’t help but take the release that fast when he fiercely thrust in and out. When I was in the middle having these weird tremors that pleasured my body, he decided to finish what he'd started. All I could tell was Nat had the stamina of horses, he fucked me fast and hard until we were both about to explode. He made his last final thrusts causing my back to arch and my toes to curl. That was the first time I couldn’t handle the real sex from him. Nat was like a drug.

Our relationship was getting weird, but I’d come to like it. We’ve been doing this thing over past weeks. I didn’t know that having sex with Nat could be this good and relaxing. Even though he just lost his virginity a month ago, he trained himself pretty quick to be an amazing Sex God. Fuck it; he’s fucking the best Sex God.

It was another lunch break, and today Nat wasn’t up for another sex round in our shared cubicle again since school decided to renovate that bathroom. I was sitting with Nat, Carlton and Kale at our so-called table.

Kale got back normal again, but he didn’t get back together with Bridget. He said Bridget hated him, she decided to forgive him, but she didn’t want to talk with Kale anymore in return.

Kale was still the jokester in our group but every time I slipped about Bridget or someone brought it up, Kale would decide to finish his lunch and reason that he had something to do. Carlton, Nat and I decided not to talk about Bridget around Kale. God knows how broken and rejected Kale was.

“You want something?” Nat whispered to me when he was asking for food.

I chuckled when his breath tickled my neck, “Sushi and Apple Smoothie would be awesome, thanks for that” I smiled up to him and he left to the food stall after he kissed my temple.

“I hate couples...” Kale retorted when he was chewing on his burger. “You really have him under your spell, Siren. I never thought you both will end up together”

“Fate speaks louder, I guess” I simply lied. I tried my harder not to spit back about him being single because it would lead to Bridget’s topic. Kale rolled his eyes and then decided to listen to his iPod while eating. I know that he wasn’t comfortable with me and Nat being together because he’s jealous. I know the back of his mind he wanted Bridget back, but it’s useless.

Carlton dragged his seat beside me as he offered me his French fries.

“You know that you and Nat aren’t really together, right?” Carlton spoke quietly beside me and made sure Kale wasn’t on earshot.

I arched my brows at him, “Of course I know, what about that?”

“Well, you guys seem to regularly fuck and stuff. That’s just unhealthy” Carlton shrugged his shoulders.

I chuckled, “It’s not unhealthy, well, Nat doesn’t have STD and we always use condoms”

Carlton winced when I mentioned about condoms, maybe he was picturing Nat and me on bed. Ew.

“I mean not that ‘unhealthy’. It’s unhealthy for both of your feelings”

I couldn’t help but laugh at Carlton. He seriously just said that?

“Dude, I don’t like Nat that way… we’re just y’know… fuck buddies. There’s nothing more happening with us”

“So you think Nat doesn’t like you?” Carlton pulled out his serious face to me as he shot me a weird stare.

“Of course he doesn’t. Damn Carlton, he still loves Lynn. And it’s funny to hear your stupid presumption about me and Nat liking each other” I giggled and then stole some of his French fries.

Carlton sighed, “You don’t understand, do you? What I’m afraid of is sooner or later either you or Nat will like each other and someone will get hurt. In this case, I believe Nat will get hurt”

I shook my head while laughing; I patted Carlton’s shoulder and shot him my assuring look. “Listen Carlton, I guarantee you, nobody will get hurt. None of that expectation will come to reality. It’s just me and Nat, and we will get over it soon once Nat gets Lynn. Just trust me on this, Carl…” I smiled to him. Carlton hunched and weakly nodded. I didn’t know where Carlton got that idea that me and Nat would turn out liking each other. It’s really stupid.

The only guy that I’ve ever liked and loved was Dante and I believed that nobody could replace him in my heart even though I was heartbroken. Only time would heal my heart.

“Ow shit…” Kale quickly plugged his ear buds out and as his eyes clung to something behind my back; it was followed by loud clattering sound from the food stall. Carlton, the entire canteen and me cast our attention to the scene that just happened.

Nat’s tray was scattered on the floor. I could see my sushi was jumping out from its wrapper while Nat’s Fish n Chips was everywhere. I could tell he bumped into Lynn because Lynn’s tray had the same faith like Nat’s.

“Oh shit, I’m sorry… I didn’t see you there…” Nat trailed off as he saw Lynn’s coffee damped t-shirt. “Shit! You got coffee all over your shirt. Fuck, I’m really really sorry!”

I was watching Nat pull out his geeky handkerchief and clumsily try to clear the coffee stain of Lynn’s white tight t-shirt. I could tell Lynn enjoyed the attention. She looked a bit flushed at first like she was about to burst out on Nat, but then it was placed by a smirk.

“Nat, you’re touching my boobs,” she giggled.

Nat was frozen for a moment before he stopped. “Fuck! I’m—I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to touch them... uh...” he trailed off and awkwardly scratched his head. “Shit,”

I didn’t know but something started to boil my mind, I could tell Lynn was enjoying the moment. She literally flirted with Nat with her eyes. What happened to her? Suddenly after she broke up with Evan, she became so smooth with Nat. Then how she treated Nat at that party? Did she forget about it?

“I’m sorry I ruined your t-shirt…” Nat said as he began to collect all of the wasted food. “Oh wait, I have a spare clean t-shirt in my locker, I know you won’t like to wear guys’ t-shirt, but at least you don’t need to get home for your t-shirt…”

Lynn smiled broadly, “Of course, that would be better. Thank you”

“Okay, let’s just get this shit first and I’ll get you my t-shirt,”

Lynn stood up and told Nat that he didn’t need to clean up because the school had the janitors. Everybody turned back to their food as Lynn walked out from the canteen. Nat jogged to our table and grabbed his bag.

“I’m really sorry guys, I should get her my t-shirt, I’ll see you later, ‘kay?” he said hurriedly before planting a kiss on the top of my head. “Here, I’m sorry if you need to get your lunch by yourself” he tossed me a few dollars and then he left the canteen.

I couldn’t believe that he ditched me at lunch. Well, it’s pretty sweet he bought me double lunch with his money, but… wow I couldn’t believe that he believed that Lynn didn’t have any spare t-shirts in her locker. She’s a cheerleader, for crying out loud!

I guess Lynn had her way back to having Nat under her spell.

Well damn. I couldn’t have my peaceful lunch or some sex in the lunch break. Fantastic.

“Betcha she would molest Nat before they reached Nat’s locker” Kale joked and laughed with mocking face like he was trying to make me jealous. Oh really? I wasn’t jealous of her. Nat wasn’t even my lover, geez. “Oh, Savannah, no need to be all jealous with your boyfriend. I’m sure he’s the loyal one” he giggled. I rolled my eyes on him because practically his words didn’t get to me.

Kale suddenly stopped giggling and his face turned pale as ghost. I knitted my eyebrows together and then turned my head again to find Bridget standing near to my seat. Her food was on her tray while she looked at Kale in disgust. Bridget sighed and continued her pace toward her old group with Cora, Mel and Tracy. I guess she was on her way to her group when she passed our table, then she accidentally heard Kale’s words.

I turned back to Kale who had the most awkward look on his face.

“Well, that’s not really the best moment for you, Kale… Maybe she took the hint of ‘being the loyal boyfriend’”

“Shut up,” he growled. “I wasn’t her boyfriend,”

“Yeah and you fucked it up, huh”

Kale glared at me while he clenched his fist, “Can you drop it, please?”

“Whoa, Kale. Says the one who made fun of me at the first place?” I snapped but Carlton nudged me on the elbow to shut me up. Ok, maybe I was too forward. “I’m sorry, I... I didn’t mean to bring that up”

Kale didn’t make eye contact with me, but he only sighed. “It’s okay. I’m just…” he yanked his hair in frustration. “I guess I need to go…” he stood up in an instant from his seat, stuffing his iPod back to his bag and leaving.

“Kale, I’m sorry” I begged.

Kale turned his head to me. “It’s alright, Savannah. It’s not your fault. Later, guys…” and then he left Carlton and me with his head down low when he passed Bridget’s group’s table. Bridget knew Kale passed her table but she faced down and didn’t want to look at him.

Poor Kale Potter…
