Loving Your Imperfections Date?
MiaHe couldn't help but smile as he heard my words, pulling away in surprise, "what?" he asks, wide-eyed, making me chuckle. "I said, I love you," I repeat, and he goes crazy, throwing his arms up and whoots in excitement. "Did you all hear that?" he says, sticking his head out of the car, making a passing car step on his brakes. "She said it, folks... She finally said it, Mia Miller said she loved me!" he yells out making the three teenagers inside the car yell in excitement for him. They drive away, leaving us laughing. "You are such a nutcase, Nate," I say, but he is too excited and happy to care. "I am. But I'm your nut case, I'm your problem now. And you," he says, pulling me and making me straddle him in the car. "You're amazing, Mia. And you drive me wild," he says, cupping my face and pulling me in for a kiss. The kiss is intense and hot, leaving me feeling a little too turned on, but right now, I couldn't give two rats' ass about it. "Thank you again for coming with me, N
Loving Your Imperfections Underestimated
MiaWe made our way to his house first. He needed to leave something behind and wanted to make sure to tell his parents he was not joining them for dinner as well. "Would you like to say hi to my mom? I know she'll be thrilled to see you before we go,” he says, giving me that signature smile as he takes his duffle bag out of the trunk of his car and tosses his helmet over his shoulder. “I supposed to. She's not too busy, is she?” I ask, feeling shy. I don’t know why, but I always feel so shy around his mom. She's got this aura to her... She's the sweetest woman, and very beautiful, but she's not someone to mess with either. I've seen her. I've seen her momma bear side, and it is not pretty. I remember a few times they messed with Nate as we were growing up, and she took action. She is not the kind to take things lightly and never hesitates to advocate for what is right. I love that about her. It's very admirable indeed. “She can never be too busy for you, Mia. You know that. Come o
Loving Your Imperfections Sassy Mia
MiaI woke up to Nate's alarm going off. At first, I had completely forgotten we had fallen asleep in his room. So when it finally hit me, I jolted up to get off his bed. My foot suddenly got stuck in the blanket and I went down. I squealed, feeling myself fall, landing on my butt. "Mia, shit...Are you ok?" Nate says as he wakes up and looks down at me. I am laughing my butt off, and I can't help but lay flat on my back, I believed by my clumsiness. He gets up, holding a hand out for me to get up.He's still sleepy, squinting an eye and yawning. "I'm fine. Nate, I have to get home, I need to get ready for school. Can you please take me?" I begged, unrolling the blanket off of me, grabbing his hand, and standing up as I try and grab my stuff. "But, baby, why don't you just change here? You can borrow some of my clothes," he suggests, making me give him an irritated look as I look for my left shoe. "Nate, the last I want is for someone else to get the wrong idea of why I spent the nig
Loving Your Imperfections Ready for a Date
Mia"So, be real with me here, Bay. What's happening with you and this guy, Liam?" I dared to ask her, making her eyes widen in shock. She has been spending an awful lot of time with him, and I'm happy for her. I really am, but I don't like him. He's a player. I mean, he was making out with this cheerleader chick a few weeks ago in front of Bailey's locker. He dared to parade other girls and make out with them in front of her since I could remember. I am not buying this 'I am suddenly into you’ crap. Something is going on, and I know it. I can feel it. "Nothing is happening. We're just friends. I mean, yeah, he asked me to help him out with a few things regarding school, but that's it." "Bay!" "It's just tutoring, Mia. Nothing else. I'm fine, I promise. You gotta stop babysitting me all the time." she says, making me chuckle. "I am not babysitting you. I'm just worried." "Mia, I know you don't like Liam. I get it. J0rdan said the same thing, and so did most in our group, but I am
Loving Your Imperfections Sweet Walk
NathanI would be lying to you if I said I wasn't nervous right now. This isn't my first date. Andrea has made me go out numerous times with her to the movies and dinner and all that shit. But Mia is different. I don't know how to explain this, and I don't know why, but she is. I spent all night talking with Dad about this, and after a while of Mom lecturing me about making sure I treat Mia right and not break her heart or she'll break my legs, I finally came up with a great idea. Well, technically, it was Dad who came up with the idea, I just took it into action. Regardless- I hope she likes what I planned for her."So... Where are we going?" she asks, smiling brightly and looking so beautiful. I smiled, biting my bottom lip just thinking of how sweet her kisses are. "Well, I hope you don't mind, but I need to make a quick stop at my grandma Riley's first," I say, winking at her. She smiles, nodding her head. "Not at all. I love your grandma, Riley," she adds, making me feel good i
Loving Your Imperfections First Date
MiaI smiled brightly, holding Nate's hand as he led me through the vineyard lanes. I can't remember when was the last time I came here. I used to love coming to their vineyard. There is so much to do. His grandpa has self-picking events that bring in people from all over. Each season, he holds different events, and I look forward to each one of them. From his apple orchards to the pumpkin patches in the fall; the Christmas trees in the winter, and snowman competitions, everything in this vineyard just makes the day worthwhile. God, and don't get me started on the accommodations. The restaurants and hotels they opened here are beautiful. It's been numerous times that they have invited us to stay, and my god! It is memorable. I was even thinking of getting a part-time job at the restaurant here, or maybe in one of the souvenir stores, who knows, but I definitely want to get a part-time here. I could really use the extra cash for college next year.My mouth gawked open as I turn and s
Loving Your Imperfections This Real Love
Mia"You can't keep doing this to me, Nate!" I said, happily crying, making him chuckle. "Do what? I didn't do anything wrong. Did I ?” he answers, making me cry more.I pulled away, and he instantly wiped my tears away with his thumbs, kissing my lips softly as he smiled. "You are spoiling me. Why are you so cute and stuff with me? it's not fair. You're making it hard for me to not fall in love with you." I say, closing my eyes as I tried to stop crying.But I just couldn't. "I'm sorry. I just... I was just trying to do something nice for you. Mia, I love you. You have no idea how much you mean to me. I... I just wish you could see how special you are to me." he says, knitting his eyebrows and smiling apologetically. "God. You are so hopeless." I say as I sniffled, and nodded, wiping a tear away and making him chuckle. He hugs me around my neck as I rest my head on his chest, hugging him. “Thank you, Nate. This means so, much to me." I say as I tilt my head to the side and look at
Loving Your Imperfections Family Dinner
Mia (Two Weeks Later)Nate and I have had a blast hanging out at school and after school. Usually, I wait up for him to get out of football practice, but I don't mind. Bailey waits too because somehow, she and Liam have started talking and hanging out more and more.I don't like the guy by the way, but hey, it's all up to her. I just hope she's careful with him. He's bad news. As for Nate and I, we have dinner tonight with his family to celebrate his mom's new book. We're also celebrating the victory of their game last week for our homecoming game. I am proud to say, Nate made a bunch of touchdowns and he won the game. Nate was captain last year, but this year he was placed as a wide receiver, and my god! The coach was amazed by his performance. Nate is so good, but he was knocked down plenty because they know if given the slightest opening, he will take advantage of it. The team caught on quickly that he was their star and did everything in their power to keep him blocked the who

Loving Your Imperfections I'm Just Getting Started
Mia's POV"Sophie, I just wanted to thank you and Logan. The outcome of tonight's event was better than I expected. The profits your firm is donating to the school will be more than enough to fund all the projects we have in store for the rest of the school year. Again... Logan, none of this would have been possible without you and Sophie. Thank you so much." Our principal, Mrs. McGee, smiles at Nate's parents as she sees the gala results. She was so happy with the numbers she saw in front of her. Nate's dad was a very smart man, and he calculated equal parts to donate to schools around our neighborhood and other places that had begged for help from banks but had been turned down. I sometimes think he's an angel. Nate's family is exceedingly wealthy, but they have remained humble and don't hesitate to help those in need, even if it's out of their pocket or volunteering countless hours. "Vanessa, it's no trouble at all. I'm glad tonight was a success." Sophie says, hugging our princ
Loving Your Imperfections Secrets
Mia's POVTo say I was perplexed is an understatement. How could Andrea do something like this? I mean, we were friends not even a year ago, for fucks sake. But now, she doesn't just only bother me, but she sends her friends to sabotage me, and now- she even dares to steal my mom's necklace? How can she do this to me? If it hadn't been for Nate and Axel, who got the necklace back to me, I would have lost it forever. I would have been devastated if I had lost it. It's the last thing I have of her besides my pictures. I sigh as the auction continues and see my sculpture finally being brought to the stage. Sophie's eyes light up, and she wiggles in her seat as she looks at it. "Baby, it's this one. This is the one I was telling you about! Isn't it beautiful?" she tells Logan, making him look up from his phone. He had been looking at his phone and reviewing his stocks during the auction. Not much caught his eye, so he stopped looking at the items being sold. "Wow, Mia... you did thi
Loving Your Imperfections Worth
Mia's POVThe bidding began, and so many items were shown; I was mesmerized by how many people had shown up. We not only had the wealthiest folks from our town but also from visiting towns, and I was astonished to see that visitors as far as California came to the bidding.As usual, Asher's parents auctioned a complete vacation package to one of their hotels for a week, and everything was paid for. We had three packets in total: one from Asher's parents, one from his uncle, Blake Landon, to one of his hotels in the Maldives, and the third from a younger guy named Axel Vasquez. Everyone said he looked scary and was really serious, but he was actually really nice. He was good friends with Nate's dad, Logan, and sat beside Nate. He talked with Nate the whole time we sat before the bidding began.When the auction brought a dress made by the new fashion tycoon, Mila Tanner, he went crazy bidding on it. Unfortunately for him, Andrea also had her eyes on the dress, irritating him. The dres
Loving Your Imperfections The Gala
Mia This week went by quickly. I've been thinking hard about what to paint and have come up with nothing. I have drawn out nearly a dozen ideas, but nothing is concrete. On the bright side, I decided to take up Mrs. Mitchell's request and donated my art piece. Nate also donated an art piece, but Rainey decided not to donate. One, because the art piece the teacher wanted was already sold, and two, because most of her pieces were still back in California. Plus, her mom had already donated a great piece for the gala, which also works in her name.Unlike my genre of art, which I mainly paint in fauvism but love pop art and rococo, Nate is more of a still life and expressionist portrait painter. I can't wait to see what piece he donated. As for Rainey, she has the ability to do everything. She is good at painting scenes and portraits, but what I love is that her style has the whole Frida Kahlo vibe to it. She mixes her styles between surrealism and cubism, self-portraits with modern art
Loving Your Imperfections Career Path
Mia's POVI tried my hardest to pay attention to class the rest of the day, but Andrea's words still lingered in my mind. I know she's just trying to get under my skin, but I can't feel insecure about her words. Do I doubt Nate? No, absolutely not. He's shown me how caring he is, and I've had multiple people tell me how different he is with me. I've had folks say he looks happier and perkier than before, so no... I don't doubt him. But I have been so preoccupied with my future that I have not paid as much attention to him and our relationship as I should have. He deserves so much more of me than what we have already shared.I won't hold him accountable for his past. I know he's had a few one-night stands with girls in school, and Andrea isn't lying—he's always gone back to her. He's even dated Kenzie, but even she has said she likes him more than me.Yet- I'm still threatened by Andrea. She knows how to manipulate Nate. I love him, and being with him has made me the happiest I've be
Loving Your Imperfections Low-Class Misconceptions
MiaI couldn't help but look at my paper as I sat in science class. I have been so busy filling out applications that I completely forgot to study for our exam. I swear, I'm sweating bullets right now. What am I going to do if I fail this exam? How will I get into university with low test scores? “Now remember, the exam is 25% of your grade this quarter, so make sure you do your best. No talking during the exam, and if you have any questions, please raise your hand and wait for me to call you to my desk in silence. You have the remainder of the class to finish your exam. You may begin… now!” 0yr teacher says as she looks at her watch and begins the timer. I sigh, opening my exam and closing my eyes, grunting inwardly. I seriously hope it's not too hard, or I'm going to faint right here, on the spot. Jordan looks at me and smiles, winking his left eye. “You got this, Mia,” he whispers, making me smile. Maybe I'm overthinking, right? How hard can it be? It's only… 25% of my grade.
Loving Your Imperfections You Crossed The Line
MiaIt was as if a destructive chain reaction had been set off against me. The entire night, I had to deal with Jade's angry stares being thrown my way. It got so bad she had two of the other girls trying to sabotage my day, murmuring amongst themselves, purposely bumping into me, and almost making me spill my drinks on a customer. They messed with my orders, writing, adding or deleting things from my tickets, and making customers become irritated with me. Most of the customers were locals, so they didn't go completely off on me, except for a group of men acting rowdy and calling me an incompetent brat. By the end of my break, I just wanted to roll into a ball and act like I wasn't even here anymore. I sighed as I sat at the lockers and closed my eyes. Today's event played over and over in my head. Jade was not shy from throwing daggers my way all late afternoon and into the early hours of the evening, making me feel so stupid... so incompetent. What started as a good day soon beca
Loving Your Imperfections Misjudged
Mia (days later)I will not go into many details about what happened that night between Nate and me, but let me tell you, it was incredible. I don't think I have ever experienced anything this good, and I definitely will not be able to forget it. I can't stop thinking about him. Nate was such a gentleman with me, so careful, and my god! He's so good in bed, and I mean so damn good. It's left me with an insatiable desire for him. I have not gotten my hands off of Nate since that night. And yes, I'm still getting used to this new level in our relationship, but I think I just became addicted to him. My parents just informed us that our house is finally done. Two days ago, we started moving into our home, and I finally had a room to myself. Of course, Nate was first in line when it came to helping us move our stuff back. He didn't hesitate to jump in and get busy. Before we knew it, Jordan, Nate, and a bunch of their football buddies had jumped in and helped us move into our house alon
Loving Your Imperfections I Might Just Want To
Mia Nate and I were in bed watching a movie. He held me tight as we snuggled in a spooning position, making me smile as he placed soft kisses on my hair, holding me by my hips. Everyone else had already gone to sleep, making his house go silent; except for the novice in his room of course, as we played the movie in a very low volume.The night had gotten particularly cooler tonight, making me get cold. "God, it's so cold. My feet are freezing." I say as I press my feet against his, making him chuckle. "Well, it's a good thing I'm here. You can use my body to keep warm all night long if you want, baby," he says, teasingly, making me chuckle as he sucks on my neck and causing my stomach to flutter. I shivered as I felt his warm hands trail slowly under my shirt. He slowly caressed my skin, from my navel to my ribs, stopping right by my bra line.I couldn't help but bite my bottom lip as I hoped he'd go a little more.I turn my body to face him, interlacing my legs with his wrapping my
