Nate had paced all night debating whether to go see Ske then or wait. He barely slept when he finally made his choice. He would give her the night to calm down, then see her in the morning. Hopefully he could convince her to go to breakfast with him. Maybe even a trip. A nice over night trip might work. Nate was trying to think of anything. He just wanted Skye to forgive him. He decided to start with breakfast.
Nate stopped by the flower shop and picked up a dozen of Skyes favorite flower. He also got a bear that read forgive me. He hoped this helped. Nate headed to Skye's place and rang the bell. Cindy opened the door and took one look at what was in his hand. It must be a woman thing cause Cindy must have realized Nate was on a mission to apologize.
Yes Sandy Kissed him and he had not kissed back, but Nate still felt the need to apologize. Nate walked into the house and waited for Cindy to go get Skye. He paced a little hoping she would want to see him.

It had been a quiet night after Tyler had left. they'd talked about a lot of things, catching up on several things. He'd left just before the peprally back at school, something that skye was definitely not up to going to. she was wrung out, both physically and emotionally.
Tyler, the other one, her brother had called to check up on her, and she'd insisted that she was mostly ok and no he did not need to come over. Cindy and Marc were home just a little bit after that. She'd had to let them in on the fact that she'd had an episode at school, as they were to kept informed on everything medically related to her. She hadn't really told them why at least. Skye had nibbled at something or other for dinner, taken her meds and gone to bed.
The sleep medication that she was on to keep the nightmares away usually kept her pretty groggy the next morning for a while, so when Cindy answered the door to Nate, Skye was pretty much in *beer good, fire bad* state of mind. Her foster mom knocked on her door, which was answered with an "Uggh?" sort of noise. Cindy walked in.
"Skye dear...you have a visitor.." She said, taking a seat on the side of Skye's bed.
The brunette managed to push sleep touseled hair out of her eyes as she looked up blearily. Nate?" She asked, thinking of the first person who might come over this early with a reason.
"Yes..and he looks really miserable...I'm gonna guess you guys had some sort of problem that led into your episode yesterday?" Cindy asked gently, helping clear Skye's face of her hair. She had no idea just how much Skye loved that gentle touch, it was so...motherly.
"K.." Skye answered, slowly sitting up and sliding off the bed. She was clad in a pair of black pj pants that hung loosely off slender hips and a tank top that read *spank me* in bold pink letters. She padded slowly out to the living room, smacking her mouth a few times. "ugh..cotton mouth..." She looked at Nate as he paced across the floor. "Careful...if you tread a hole in the rug, you are replacing it.."

Nate normally would have said some smart alec remark but now was not the time and this was not the day. He would savor that moment for when Skye was not so pissed at him. He stopped when he heard her voice and turned to look at her, "These are for you." he handed her the flowers and the bear. "I came by to say sorry for yesterday." Nate hated that she was made at him and even more he was the reason she had an episode.
Nate looked at her, "I will go get you some water." he disappeared into the kitchen asking Cindy for a bottle of water. Cindy handed it to him with a kind smile. Nate returned and gave it to Skye, "Here, drink this." He said softly waiting for some sort of response. Was she still angry? had she calmed down. could they talk about this now. it was nerve wracking.
Nate decided against explaining and decided to just go right to saying sorry, cause even though he had not been a willing participant in the kiss, he could see how it looked bad to Skye and for that he needed to apologize cause he knew that was wrong for her to see. Even though he had not seen it coming. Poor Sandy probably had no idea what she had been doing. It was a mess. The most important part was making sure Skye could get on the track to forgive him. cause thats all he wanted, "I was hoping you would join me for breakfast?"

Taking the flowers and the bear from him, Skye carefully sat on the couch. Cindy had made herself scarce toward the kitchen, leaving the teens in privacy. "Thank you.." Skye replied quietly, hugging the bear to her chest gently as she smiled, taking in the soft, sweet scent of the flowers. The gifts were appreciated. but Nate saying he was sorry, that was more important to her.
He came back into the living room with a bottle of cold water, and she gratefully took it. She cracked the seal on it, taking a few well needed swallows. "THank you...the Restoril makes me feel like I licked a couple hundred bunnies." She watched Nate for a moment before her eyes fell downward.
Nate wanted to take her to breakfast, it was unfortunate that she still had so little appetite this morning. "I'm not really hungry..." She told him, continuing on before he could think she was rejecting the idea. "Just juice and maybe some fruit is fine with me.." she looked over at him quietly. "Seeing you..with her like that...you have no idea how much it hurt me Nate. Regardless of what was really going on..I want to trust you..so..please...don't give me any reason not to ok?"

Nate looked at her as she took the water, "Licking bunnies, that cannot be nice." He said giving a small smile in hopes she would laugh or something. He understood why she was upset. A scene like that could be hard to watch, "You can trust me. I know what you saw was bad, but it meant nothing. Nurse was just trying to up her popularity probably and never got the memo I am taken from now on." Nate told her.
"I am yours. I do not want any other girl." He told Skye, "Only you, you have to start trusting that. Girls might flirt with me, but i always say I have a girlfriend. Its like the first line out of my mouth if I think someone is flirting. I am happy and no way I am going to ruin it." he told her with a smile. "I want to take you out even if you have water. i want to be with you today." Nate said.
He meant everything he was saying. He was very happy and would not trade Skye for anyone. Not when she was so perfect fro him. Challenging yes, but he liked that about her.

Skye did manage a small smile, it would have been more but her body just wasn't functioning fully just yet. She did look up at him, a small light appearing behind her eyes. "It was very hard to see.. but looking at it now..I don't think my reaction was all because of that...you remember I told you I wasn't doing so great lately..I think that had part to do with it also."
Her heart melted just that more when he said he was hers. "I do trust that...in here." She said, resting her hand over her heart. "If I didn't...you wouldn't be standing here talking to me." She smiled softly. "We can go for breakfast if you want to,...I just need to try and change, clear my head or I'm gonna walk around in this fog all day."
There was such a huge weight taken off her shoulders and chest this morning, and she felt much better, despite the muddled medicine head. "Other then breakfast, is there anything else you want to do?"

"I understand. Don't worry too much, things will get better. I am always here for you." he picked her hand up and kissed it, "I want you to know you can talk to me. You don't have to keep everything bottled up. I want to hear about what is going on with you." Nate gave her a smile. "Good cause I trust you too." He was glad she was okay and over it. He really had been worried she would not forgive him. "Well then go get dressed. Mind if I watch?" he asked smiling, "What, can't blame me for trying." he told her.
Nate felt so much better. A huge weight was lifted off him as well. Of course he didn't dare ask how Skye felt about the girl who committed the act. Nate could not hold any blame for Sandy, but he knew Skye might so that was something he did not even dare bring up. "I was hoping for an over night trip to Palm Springs. It's not too far from here and you can be back by tomorrow evening. I just figured we could use a little R and R. Of course I would love to get you alone."

"I hope so." Skye said softly, running her thumb across his lower lip after he kissed her hand. "I just..I hate dumping all my problems on you Nate..you have enough going on without having to worry about my issues also you know?" She told him.
She swatted him gently in the arm when he asked if he could watch her change. "No..not right now." She told him. It wasn't that Skye was shy about the fact that he might see her partly naked, they'd already been intimate together, but Cindy was in the other room and could over hear everything.
"An overnight trip to Palm Springs.." Skye repeated, glancing back toward the kitchen. It would actually be really nice to get out of town for the night, it was something that she had not done since before the assault. "Cindy?" She called out to her foster mother.
"Yes, you can go...just be back before school on MOnday, take your cellphone and the emergency credit card Marc set up for you." The woman answered with a warm smile. Nate reminded her a lot of Marc when they were younger, very loving and attentive to the young female.
"Thank you.." Skye said, standing up, her hand finding Nates. "Come help me pack? AFTER I get changed..while which you stand outside the door.."
