What Love Has Lost Read Online Free PDF Page A

Our Inna finally got laid!" Grady cheers. My can feel my eyes start to bulge. My attention focuses on this piece of chicken, which is stuck in my trachea, compared to the urge of me slapping Rhi and Grady across their heads. "Say, Nate, how was it? Did you take her to home base?" Grady wiggles his eyebrows.
    To increase the embarrassment, I spew wine all over Nate's head.
    OH. MY. GOD.
    "I am so sorry!" I apologize, rushing to get paper towels and give them to Nathan.
    Nathan just laughs. Why is he suddenly laughing? Isn't he supposed to be angry with me? No, he should be angry with them! They are the ones who are embarrassing us by spilling our secret!
    "May I use your bathroom?" Nate asks. Rhiannon nods and tells him the location of the bathroom. I watch Nathan walk out of the dining room and into one of the bathrooms. Then, I quickly turn around with rage in my eyes.
    "Why the hell did you guys mention this?" I question. Rhiannon and Grady finally realizes that spilling our secret was a horrible idea. They feel completely ashamed of themselves.
    "Look, I'm sorry, Inn. I don't know what got into me." Rhiannon apologizes and Grady agrees. It may be the wine because wine does contain a median percentage of alcohol, or it may be the setting because we were all happy and lose.
    "Let's clean this up and get ready for bed." I advise. Rhi and Grady nods as an agreement.
    "Rhiannon can wash the dishes, and I'll dry them and place them into our dishwasher." Grady insists. "You can just clear this up, and then check on Nathan and see how he's doing."
    I nod, but I'm not ready to confront to Nathan.

    After I finish clearing the table, I slothfully drag my feet towards my room. My room is across the hall from Rhiannon and Grady's bedroom. Yes, they share the bedroom to themselves, as I sleep alone. We have three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The extra room is a storage room, filled with Grady's junk, or as he calls them - his possessions.
    I love my room. It's very spacious, and I have a private bathroom, linking to my bedroom. As I walk into my room, I see a light that is flickered on and the water running. Hmm, I wonder who's inside the bathroom.
    Turning around, I face my dresser and pull out my pajamas. Pulling my shirt out of my bare body, I hear the door crack open. Shockingly, I turn around and see Nathan standing there before me, with a towel wrap around his lower region as tiny droplets of water is leaving his wet, soggy hair.
    "Oh my god, you startled me." I gasp, while I am holding my shirt in front of me, covering my upper bare body. Nathan starts shaking his head as he lets out a slight laugh.
    "Now, you're embarrassed to let me see you half-naked, after everything we've been through?"
    I cock an eyebrow. "Excuse me, but you were the one who ended our relationship." I remind him. Nathan suddenly changes his facial expression. Frowning, he looks down at his feet.
    "Look, Inn..." Nathan pauses as we connect eye contact. "I have not meant to hurt you. After I saw you with that depressed look upon your face, I could barely see myself as the man who you should be with in the end."
    Coming from Nathan's mouth, I replay the emotion in his tone inside my head. No matter how badly I miss him, he'll always feel remorse. I want to tell him that I still want to love him, even though we haven't gotten a full chance. I want to tell him that I miss everything about him: his smell, his touch, his compassion, et cetera.
    To my own dismay, I conclude our conversation. "Well, whatever happened in the past, it stays in the past." I inhale quickly before tears come across my face. "This shall be our closure, and we can start fresh, by being friends."
    Nathan nods. "Of course, let's start with a clean slate."
    I smile as we precede finish dressing up. Of course, Nathan changes in the bathroom as I change in my bedroom. As we finish dressing up, Nathan and I walk to the living room and see Grady and Rhiannon playing a
