It didn’t take a genius to figure out how Nat felt about Rosalina. The jury was out, however, on how she felt about him.
Nat had only had eyes for one person, but this wasn’t the case for her. Surely there had been times when she took interest in other guys, but it had always ended for the worse. Fortunately for her, Nat was always there for her if she needed a helping hand, a person to talk to, or a shoulder to lean on.
However, it was this unpredictable behavior that made the press coming back for more. They wanted to see what she was going to do next and how Nat would react to it. She hadn’t been seen with any other guys lately, and the press was all over that instantly. They claimed that she had settled with Nat and that it was only a matter of time before they made it official.
Such stories made her laugh.
The idea that they were going to make anything official was simply absurd. Since when had they been unofficial to begin with?
Sure, they had shared a few moments when it felt as though they were crossing the line from being just friends to something more, but there had never been any solid evidence to show that Nat and Rosalina were an unofficial couple.
Somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew how he felt. Somewhere else in the back of her mind, she also knew how she felt. Keeping such feelings in the back of her mind, though, had proven to be confusing not only to the press, but to herself as well.
Rosalina was a flirt; it went without question.
She was the type of girl who wanted to have a good time and make the most out of life. She was fast at making friends and always tried to be the life of the party. Her outgoing nature was often interpreted the wrong way, especially by those of the opposite gender. It didn’t take much for guys to fall for her, and yet she often doesn’t see it coming.
It wasn’t her fault that she was beautiful.
It was a bit different with Nat, though. There was a very good reason that no one could come up with a conclusion as to how Rosalina felt about Nat.
She didn’t even know that herself. Rosalina was never the type of girl to think these things through. She liked to live in the moment – to go with the flow and follow the tide. All she could be sure of was that she never felt safe when Nat took his eyes off of her. There was a reason that she always got so jealous whenever other girls got near him, even if she didn’t know what the reason was.
Rosalina wasn’t sure what she wanted, but she knew it didn’t matter. No matter how flirtatious or distant she was with him, the end result would always be the same. Nat and Rosalina were standing still. Even after being so close for all these years, it never felt like they were getting any closer. To her, it seemed that Nat would always be too shy to speak up and she could always be unsure of herself.
Rosalina didn’t care how much she toyed with his heart and consequently her own; it never seemed to make a difference anyway.
