No Time for Reluctance

Nathan

Nathan had returned to his own house just before dawn. Outside of the watchful eye of Jessica and Erica, he relaxed a bit. It sucked to feel that way. Now it wasn’t just him getting questioned, but also Kota and the others.

The questions she shot from her eyes as she looked at him and Victor last night, it killed him.

She found Nathan alone without a phone in the middle of the night. Finding Sang in the grocery store. Catching Kota in lies he’d told her. Kota then not showing up until very early in the morning, dropping off Gabriel and taking Nathan out.

“It’s an emergency,” Kota had said. “I need you to trust me.”

It was all he needed to say to her, but that was temporary. He was lucky she trusted him enough to let him go without explanation.

Or maybe it was the early morning hour and she’d lost the gumption to fight it out there.

Nathan brushed a hand across his tired face. He had already been to the spot where he lost the car. He was back to get dressed for school. And he had to find a way to get Marie and Danielle to go to school like they were supposed to.

After a quick brush of his teeth and checking over the place to make sure everything was put up, he collected a bookbag and stuffed it with an old textbook and notebooks, just to make it look right.

His first stop was Danielle’s.

He took the back way, crossing by the pool, covered for the winter. There was frost on the grass and encrusting old, dead leaves. The sun peeked over the tops of trees. He breathed in the crisp air.

The woods behind his house were quiet. He took the path to the right. It had been a while since he’d been out here. A bit of bramble and some fallen tree limbs cluttered the trail. At some point, he needed to come out and clear the way again.

Would anyone else do this if the others bought a house? Would he be back to keep up with the walking paths? He wasn’t sure anyone else in the neighborhood did.

What Kota told him that morning disturbed him. On the way over to find the lake, Nathan asked him about what happened with Lily.

“You should talk to her,” Kota had said.

It was all he’d say about it. You should see her. You should talk to her.

But then he talked about houses, about how Sang needed a house. Despite Nathan suggesting they should wait on a big house until they’ve settled the relationship part, Kota seemed more enthusiastic about finding the right house for all of them.

Nathan didn’t know what to make of it. As Kota talked about a number of rooms, locations and space for vehicles, Nathan had sat back and wondered what Lily said to him. What would get Kota to change his position on the relationship so quickly?

And why did Kota refuse to talk to him about it? That wasn’t like him.
