CHAPTER 2

"Shantelle Miller?" Shantelle heard her name but it sounded distinct but she could recognized the person's voice to be her teacher.

She felt a light tap on her shoulder and that was when she got back to her senses. Shantelle had zoned out from the classroom as the math teacher taught them. Her mind had wandered off that she didn't hear her teacher calling out to her.

"Yes ma'am." She answered immediately and got up from her seat, the whole class bursted into a roaring laughter. The way she had stood up was quite funny. Shantelle felt really embarrassed that she had to lower her head to the floor and bit on her lower lip – she does that when she's embarrassed or nervous.

"You just zoned out Shantelle? What happened? What are you thinking of?" The math teacher asked softly. She didn't yell at her or scold her because she knew Shantelle – she wasn't the type to loose concentration in class except she's in deep thoughts.

"Nothing ma'am, nothing really." She said timidly and tucked in few strands of hair behind her ear. "See me after class." The math teacher said while she nodded her head.

Shantelle Miller is the younger sister of Amelia, the only sibling she has. Shantelle is in her final year in high school and in a few months time, she'd be graduating and going to college. Recently, she's been so down and always zone out whenever she's in the class. There's something definitely wrong with her and she would make sure she gets to the root of it by asking her some questions, the teacher thought as she walked back to the board.

" Um...I didn't kiss anyone, why would you think like that." Nick faked being angry and pained about her accusation.

"Then, how can you explain the taste of your lips?" She asked and folded her arms under her boobs, staring so closely at Nick. "And don't think I didn't see that, that secretary of yours cleavage was popping out." She rolled her eyes and got up from his thigh.

Nick was really speechless and confused. How exactly was he gonna handle the situation.

"You know what, get out of my office! Just because you're my fiancee doesn't mean you should be interrogating my personal life. I told you I didn't kiss anyone but you're still insisting and bringing out your different findings – it's my life okay? Leave now, I've got what to do!" He ranted, almost yelling but he knew he couldn't yell at her.

"Fine! I'm leaving! Wait till mom hears about this." She scoffed. She picked up her hand bag and walked out of his office, slamming the door shut like she has issue with the door.

"Phew! That was so close. Another lengthy talk with mom." He chuckled softly and scoffed. He picked up a file on his desk and started going through it.

He knows that Alice has this suspicions on Amelia anytime she comes to the office – she feels that something is going on between them.

He laughed and shook his head at the thought.

....

"Where's that god-damned secretary of Nick!" Alice yelled as soon as she got to the lobby. Some of the office workers were around, doing one thing or the other while the receptionist was just sitting at her front desk.

"Everybody suddenly turned as they heard her voice. Everybody knew the possessive and bossy fiancee of their boss. They always avoid getting on her toes when she's around."

Now, they wondered what Amelia might have done. "I said where's that god-damned girl!" Alice yelled again. Amelia wasn't sitting on her desk which was in Nick's office – a glass door demarcated between Nick's office and hers. But since she came, she hasn't seen Amelia. Wasn't she supposed to be in her office working on some files or whatever? Alice thought angrily.

"I'm here." Amelia walked in from the entryway and made her way to meet Alice. She walked with confidence and she wasn't fidgeting. The other workers had stopped what they were doing and turned to stare at the scene.

Before anyone or even Amelia could know what was going on, Alice slapped Amelia hard across her face – making everyone gasped in surprise.

Alice walked closer to meet her and pulled her roughly by her hair. Amelia wasn't done getting out of the shock of being slapped, now her hair was being roughly pulled.

Her scalp was hurting and she managed to let out a silent wince. "Let go of me! Let go of my hair!" Amelia winced as she held the root of her hair so it wouldn't hurt very well.

"You whore! Slutty girl! Stay away from my fiancee, stay away from NICK." Alice yelled – she literally spelt out the Nick.

She pushed Amelia hard and roughly and not expecting the sudden push, Amelia fell and passed out.

"What?" Some of the office workers gasped as they saw what had just happened. Alice was in shock and as she stared at the unconscious Amelia, she looked like someone who an evil spirit just left her body.

"Oh my goodness!" She covered her mouth with her hands in surprise. She didn't mean for it to happen but what was she expecting when she had pushed her hard.

Just then, Nick walked to where they where – he looked really pissed and Amelia's best friend Clara was standing beside him, glaring daggers at Alice.

"You can leave." Nick told Alice calmly – but it sounded dangerous to Alice: dangerously calm. She knew she was in a whole lot of trouble.

She must nodded her head and hurriedly walked out of the lobby, going towards the exit.

Nick carried Amelia in his arms and started out of the company while everybody gasped, surprise at the action.

He carried her like she weighed nothing. He got outside and one of his close bodyguards wanted to carry Amelia from him but he shook his negatively. He placed her in his car and zoomed off. He doesn't care if he's got lots of work to do, Amelia's health matters a lot to him.

......

"She'd be fine sir. She fainted because of shock, she'll be awake anytime from now." The doctor said with a convincing smile. "Okay, thank you doctor Ramsey." Nick smiled in gratitude and they both shook hands.

"You're welcome Nick." He nodded his head and walked out of Amelia's ward. Amelia woke up with an headache. She looked around and was confused on where she was. She noticed that the room smelled of drugs and antiseptic and her guess was that she was in a hospital. She turned around and her eyes met with Nick's who was sitting beside her and staring at her.

"Hey, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Nick asked with concern in his voice. "I'm feeling better." She winced a little as she tried to seat up. Nick tried to help her up and in the process, his hand brushed lightly against her boobs. Amelia eyes widened as she stared at him.

"Um...I'm sorry. I didn't do that purposely." Nick found himself apologizing with a nervous light chuckle.

"Yeah." Amelia said in a small voice. She felt really bashful – not like be hasn't fondled with her boobs and sucked them but she still felt bashful.

Amelia tried to remember what made her land in the hospital. "Oh!" She nodded her head on remembrance.

"What happened? What did you do to Alice that made her push you." Nick suddenly asked, clearing the awkaed tension between them. "What do you mean what I did to her? You know I'm not a trouble type of person." She scoffed and folded her arms under her boobs.

"She told me to stay away from you." She rolled her eyes at him. "Like we have anything going on between us." She said sarcastically.

"I should have known." He sighed.

"Since you're fine, let's go back to the office, there are lots of unfinished works." He said and stood stood up. Amelia followed suit and stood up. She straightened her skirt and quickly ran her hand through her hair.

They both walked towards the car. They got to where he had parked his car and they both entered.

Unknowingly to Amelia, Nick wanted to wear her seatbelt for her, she turned to face Nick but Nick's lips ended up landing on hers. She widened her eyes in shock.

Nick was surprised too, he didn't mean to kiss her – how was he to know that she was gonna turn swiftly?

He pulled away from the kiss but he was still in the same position. They both stared intently at each other with none of them ready to break the eye contact.

There was sudden sexual tension in the air and Amelia was suddenly becoming hot.

"Why are you blushing? Are you sick?" Nick asked, breaking the silence between them – surprised to see her face all red. It wasn't the first time he saw her blush in fact, he has seen her multiple times but on most occasion is when they make out or when he kisses or even flirt with her.

Amelia felt embarrassed. She quickly turned her face and looked away.

"Hey, um..." Nick didn't know exactly what to say. He cleared his throat and brought her face to look at him. She did and lips were in a pout. Amelia gulped down nothing as she stared at him lick his lips. Geez! It was a turn on for her. She found her cheeks going hot again.

What is he doing to her? Before Nick could make a move, Amelia placed her lips on his and closed her eyes. Nick was utterly surprised and taken aback. She has never made the first move to kiss him. His eyes widened in sheer surprised.

Is this Amelia or her twin?

Amelia suddenly felt bad because he wasn't kissing her back. As she made to pull away, Nick grabbed her butt and deepened the kiss, taking absolute control over the kiss.

Amelia melted into the kiss and kissed him back.
