"Why does it matter?!"shouted Natalie, now whirling around to face him. "Why should that matter? Hmm, let me think,"she tapped her chin with hre index finger. "MAYBE it's because I keep on thinking it's too good to be true. MAYBE -oh I don't know- a better younger hotter girl comes along and you realize you love her more. MAYBE it's because of the fact that I know you deserve better than me and that someday you might just realize that and my whole world will come crashing down on me?"she was shouting at the top of her lungs now.

"NATALIE! I've been with you for 10 years! I think I know what I'm doing! How can you even say that? If anything, I'm not good enough for you! You're the ONLY person I know who can deal with their boyfriend almost dying every day of their life...And you think you're not good enough for me?" he asked, voice raising.

"THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE I KNEW YOU'D COME BACK IN THE END ANYWAYS!"retorted Natalie. "And OF COURSE I'm not good enough for you. ARE YOU BLIND?! Have you been hit in the head with bludgers so many smegging times that you don't even realize that?"she asked, trying to keep her voice calm.

"WHY DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SO BAD? I DON'T SEE A SINGLE THING WRONG WITH YOU, EXCEPT MAYBE THAT YOU HAVE A LOWER SELF-ESTEEM RIGHT NOW THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN!" Jake roared. Thankfully, there was no one around except the waitress, who was observing from the window and smirking.

"Well what's wrong with her?"she retorted, pointing at the waitress in the parlor. "I'm sure she'd worship the ground you walk on and she's probably a good cook too! She'll be a good wife for you, I'm betting."

"Are you KIDDING?! What does she have that you don't? The ability to make an ice cream sundae?" Jake asked, temper rising dangerously high. One of his pet peeves was low self-esteem, and Natalie was certainly messing with that annoyance.

"Well maybe that's what you like. I have no idea!"Natalie shouted. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes, taking several deep breaths. She opened her eyes again and exhaled. "Sorry,"she mumbled, looking down at the ground. "Witch Weekly and the Daily Prophets been bugging me."

"Why, what have they been saying?" Jake asked suspiciously, anger instantly turning from her to the devil gossip newspapers. "Those scumbag gossip writers are full of...bologna spit," he said, not wanting to waste even a swear on them.

Natalie opened her mouh to reply, but closed it abruptly. "Nothing,"she mumbled, avoiding the waitress in the parlor window. "Don't worry about it."

"I'm worrying about it, now tell me what they're saying," he ordered. "Don't make me actually buy one, I don't feel like supporting them," he added.

"They're not saying anything that bad,"Natalie trailed off, looking in the distance. "It's more of what I've been saying all along. How I'm just a plain normal girl who somehow miraculously got ahold of a hot International Quidditch star,"she shrugged. "More or less. Nothing big."

"And that made you blow up? I don't think so...what are they saying exactly?" he asked. "Hey look, they've got some for sale over there..." he added, nodding his head in the direction of a shop across the street and taking a step forward.

"NO!"shouted Natalie. She sprang forward and literally pounced onto Jake. She wrapped her arms and legs around him, attempting to stop him from going forward. "DON'T!"

Jake heaved himself and Natalie across the street, making slow progress but getting closer. Suddenly he stopped. Rolling his eyes, he said, "Accio newspaper," and it flew toward him. He grabbed it and levitated some money to the shop keeper, who was about to yell at him for stealing, but stopped short as he saw the money with a generous tip heading toward him. Jake looked at the paper.

"Uggh!"groaned Natalie as she hopped down from his back and snatched the paper from his hands. She crumpled the paper up and set fire to it with her wand. Natalie looked up slowly, eyes pleading. "Please tell me you didn't read a word."
(( If Jake did read something, you can make up something. -shrugs- Iono..))

//Like I have enough brain power for that...it's 10:30. Make something up for me. lol//
Jake blinked. He turned red. "I'm going to kill the person who wrote that," he said simply, fists clenched into fists. He had only seen the title, but that was bad enough. He Accioed another paper and paid again, this time fire-proofing it and holding it out of reach of Natalie. He continued reading.

Natalie looked down at the ground. "It's fine, hun,"she said softly, curling her arms around his right arm. She looked up at him. "Who cares if they say that I'm not good enough for you. Or that I'm cheating on you with that bloke from Bulgaria,"she shuddered involuntarily. "I don't care if they spelled my name wrong and I don't care if they say I'm just an ordinary Mudblood Squib girl who;s incompetant in every possible way. You know the truth, and I'm fine with that,"she breathed out.

"Weren't you saying half a minute ago that you were too incompetent for me?" Jake raised an eyebrow. He looked back at the paper, turning even redder. "Well...how does someone misspell Natalie Weasley?..." he asked incredulously. "Weasley is a helluva lot more famous that Tripp. But whatever. I'll save this for later...maybe show Lily and the Beaters..." he smirked. "But until then..." he looked at her. "What do you want to do?"

"Well, duh. But I'm obviously not a Mudblood or a Squib. And I don't know. Apparently people think Natalie is spelled with a y and Weasley is spelled without the e,"she rolled her eyes. "Don't worry. I already took care of it. Well, with some help,"she smirked. "And I have a perfect idea for dinner tonight,"Natalie continued, smirking wider.

"How did you take care of it?" Jake asked, eyebrows raised. "And what exactly did you have in mind for dinner?" he added, half smiling for the first time since he had read the paper.

"I have... people,"replied Natalie, returning the smirk. She let out a small maniacal laugh. "Don't worry. No one's injured... severely... Well, not physically injured,"she added. "And... Just keep yourself occupied until around 8 o'clock tonight,"she grinned. "You are not allowed to set foot in a 500 miles radius of our house until the clock strikes 8 o'clock p.m. Understand?"she said sternly.

"A 500 miles radius?" Jake asked, eyebrows raising again. "I'll have to go to a different state..." he added. "How about I can't leave the London Pitch until 8?" he continued. The word 'obsession' flashed through his mind, but he shook it off. He was a professional, and he was going to practice like he was.

"Sure, sure, fine. Whatever you want,"Natalie shrugged passively. "Just as long as you're no where near our house before 8." She pulled up her sleeves and looked at the time. "Ok. I'd better get started,"she gave a sigh and pulled out her wand. Natalie walked up to Jake and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "See you later,"she whispered and apparated from the site.
((Ish'll make a board... At their house... Where was it? ))

Jake half smiled and nodded. "See ya then..." he said, and started the flight back to the Pitch.
