*Willow*

“So can you get away this weekend?” Levi whispered. “Katherine wants us over for dinner.”

“I don’t think I can, Levi.” I winced.

“Willow, come on, I need you.”

“You should spend time with them on your own, Levi, they’re your family.”

“I know, but I get nervous. I feel safe when you’re there.”

“That’s really sweet, but I really can’t. Maybe it’s time you tell Joy.”

“No! I-I can’t. This is just between you and me.”

“I understand, Levi, but the guy I’m seeing…we have plans.”

“Orlando will understand right?” Levi asked.

“I’m not seeing Orlando.”

“Oh…so this new guy you’re seeing, is it serious?”

“Um…not sure. But I already agreed to do something with him.”

“Not all weekend right?”

“I guess we’re not doing anything solid on Sunday night.” I sighed.

“That works, Will. Thank you so much! I’m so close to finding out who my dad is!” He kissed my cheek before hurrying back to his room, surely to call Katherine.

I made sure the coast was clear before going into Nathaniel’s room and l

    *Nathaniel*I was kind of nervous for this date.It felt more real than our beach date and the ones in my room. This was out at a restaurant and an uncontrolled place. Anything could happen. I just hoped it wouldn’t. Getting out of the mansion was going to be the most difficult part. We would actually have to use some of the secret passageways so no one would suspect us. I texted Willow to let her know that I was using the secret stairs. I thought it would be gentlemanly for her to use the elevator. When I reached the bottom I made sure to listen carefully before gently pushing the door open. “What are you doing?” I jumped hearing Grayson’s voice.“Um…just decided to take the stairs.” I cleared my throat.“You look fancy. Going out with that girl you’re possibly in love with?”“Scarlett told you?”“I’m her husband, she tells me everything.” He chuckled. “Have fun, lover boy.”“Oh be quiet old man.” I muttered as I hurried out of the kitchen.“You look dapper,” Skyler commented. “W

    *Nathaniel*“So…how are things going with your girlfriend?” Shauna asked. “Very good, actually, thanks for asking.”“I don’t care, when are you going to fuck me again?”“If you don’t care why did you ask?” I groaned. “I don’t know, come over tonight.” Shauna whispered. “We’ll fuck on my couch while you talk about her. It will be just like you having sex with her.”“No, it won’t, Shauna. Look you and I had a lot of fun, but I’m a different guy now. I only want to be with Willow.”“She’s fucking Orlando.”“Excuse me?”“She’s fucking Orlando. She’s cheating on you too.” Shauna smirked.“And how do you know that?”“Because Orlando told me. It was very easy to get it out of him, all I had to do was ask. He’s been fucking your girlfriend.”“Well he’s not anymore, I can assure you of that.” I snapped. “Are you sure, Nathaniel? Cuz I don’t think you are. Maybe Willow isn’t as faithful as she claims to be. I mean Orlando says he’s in love. Can’t be there on his own, can he?”Shauna got up a

    *Willow*“You knew about this Nathaniel?” I asked. “Yeah…look it’s just…Julian really loves this.”“Why is that bad?”“He doesn’t really want to be next in line for Windsor Ascension.” Nathaniel winced.“What? B-but it’s his legacy! I mean Julian is brilliant, it’s not like he can’t do it.”“It’s not that he thinks he can’t do it. He really just doesn’t want it, Will.”I couldn’t comprehend it. Julian had been in the business world his whole life. He had been prepped to take over the company when it was time. There was already a position at Windsor Ascension with his name on it. And he didn’t want it.That was insane to me, honestly. I would give anything to be in his or Joy’s position. To have a career waiting for me after college. I couldn’t imagine turning that down. However, I was really into the remixes that Julian was playing!“Wait, so he just plays here, he’s not gay?” I asked. “Not that I know of.” Nathaniel chuckled. “But Julian wants to work in clubs and you and I make

    *Nathaniel*There was something I didn’t like about Jude. He seemed nice enough on the outside, but when I walked in on him and Willow talking, it threw me off a little bit. He shouldn’t be touching an intern like that. Or was I just making a big deal about it since Willow was my girlfriend? I mean Willow said he wasn't inappropriate. Unfortuniatly, I wasn’t sure Willow could fully grasp what a manipulative man looked like. Even though she had a past with them, it was like she always forgot. I wondered if Jude could be one of them. “Hey…what do you think of Jude?” I asked Julian.“He seems really cool. And he’s nice and helpful. Why?”“So you don’t get a creepy vibe off of him?”“What kind of creepy vibe?”“Where he kind of preys on younger women in the industry, claiming he can help them, but he’ll want something sexual in return.”“Did something happen?” Julian questioned. “I saw him talking to Willow and he was touching her.” I whispered. “Touching her, how?”“Just her knee.”

    *Willow*All eyes were on Julian and I was sweating. “Um…I guess the biggest secret would be about Nathaniel.” Julian started. Oh god, this was going to be messy!“Nathaniel keeps a list of girls he sleeps with and ranks them based on their different skills.”Both mine and Shauna’s heads snapped in Nathniel’s direction as his jaw dropped. “Julian, what the fuck?”“I couldn’t think of anything else!” He exclaimed. Oh I had to see this list! But how did I rank on it? Was I actually number one like Nathaniel claimed? Just like with everything else I couldn't stand not being in first place.“Willow, truth or dare?”“Dare.”I was in no mood to be truthful right now. “Hm…I dare you to close your eyes for five seconds and let us put whatever we want in this cup and you drink it.” Julian laughed.“You are a demon.” I muttered as I closed my eyes. “Five, four, three, two, one.”I opened my eyes and the drink was brown. “Go on and chug.”I quickly downed the little bit of liquid in the cup

    *Nathaniel*I couldn't wait for the fireworks to start. I wanted to be alone with Willow on my balcony, kissing her. I was hoping it would erase any bad balcony memories that she had. She would only remember kissing me under the fireworks. “So how was the closet with Willow?” Shauna whispered. “Did you fuck her?”“No, I didn’t.”“So what did you do?”“Nothing.”“Nothing?” Shauna asked. “Why not?”“We didn’t want to. Honestly, I’m thinking of breaking up with Willow.”“Wh-why?”“Because of you, Shauna,” I smiled. “I just realized that I have some deep feelings for you. I don’t think I want to be with Willow anymore.”I had realized me resisting Shauna only made her want me more, so why not do the opposite and see how that went for me.“Nathaniel…you can’t break up with Willow.”“Why not?” I asked. “Then you and I can be together.”“I thought you loved her.” Shauna said quickly. “I thought wrong. It’s you, Shauna.”“Um…let me think about it okay? Don’t do anything rash. Just let me t

  • I Hate You, Let's Kiss   Mark

    *Nathaniel *I couldn’t believe Willow.I mean she thought I was jealous of Jude? I had no reason to be! Sure, he was very successful and rich in an industry I desperately wanted to be a part of but odds are he didn’t even earn that position. It was handed to him! I was actually working hard to get somewhere. And I wasn’t jealous that she was his favorite. I was actually very proud of her. She was my girlfriend and I wanted the absolute best for her. But was I jealous? No matter how much I cared for Willow, I still had that competition ingrained in me. So maybe I was kind of envious that I wasn’t a favorite. But would I turn that into something sinister on Jude’s part?I wasn’t even sure. What I did know was that no matter what, I was mad at Willow for a good reason. She acted like I was just some crazy jealous boyfriend who was acting out of anger.That wasn’t the case at all. The worst part is I knew she wouldn’t apologize.--“Morning, Nathaniel.”“Hello Willow,” I replied, pur

You too…how’s the family?”“Maybe it’s best we don’t talk about that.”“Maybe it’s best if we don't talk at all.”I turned around, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him. “I really hate when you get like this, Willow. It comes across as childish. You’re too smart to act like a whiny brat.”“Five seconds in and here comes the beratement. I’m glad I blocked your number, you really haven’t changed.”“Hey get the fuck off my girlfriend!” Nathaniel shouted before pushing Vance away. “Vance? What the fuck are you doing here?”“Girlfriend?” Vance chuckled. “No wonder you’re acting so immaturely, Willow. This is the company you’re keeping.”“Just because I’m not pushing forty-five doesn’t make me immature.”“Willow, can you lose the kid and talk to me?”It was like I was still under his thumb.

    *Nathaniel* I was kind of nervous for Willow to come with me to counseling. I hoped it wouldn’t change the way she saw me. I knew I wasn’t a finished product just yet, but I was getting there and I wanted her to see that. “Thank you for being with us today, Willow,” Joel smiled. “Thanks for having me. I’ve never been to therapy before.” Willow smiled. “It’s not therapy.” We chorused. “Right, sorry.” She laughed. “So, what happens in…counseling?” “Well we talk about my issues and how I plan to fix them.” I informed her. “What do you got for me today Joel?” “Well, you’re back in a relationship, how does that feel?” Joel asked. “Honestly? Pretty fucking great!” “You’re allowed to say ‘fuck’ here?” Willow asked “Yeah, there’s like no rules here.” I grinned. “Um, I feel great about being back with Willow.” “Do you feel mentally ready?” “I think so.” “Why wouldn’t he be?” Willow asked. “Well, previously in your relationship, Nathaniel used you as a crutch.

    *Nathaniel*Being back in Willow’s room was amazing. Nothing was different. She even still had the photos of us up.“I missed being in here.” I kissed Willow as I reached around to unzip her dress. “Espcially your bed.”“Oh my bed missed you too, baby.” Willow smiled. “No, call me my special name.”“Stud muffin.”“Oh sweetheart, I love you.” I grinned. Willow’s dress fell to the floor and she stepped out of it before removing my clothes. I closed my eyes and just reveled in feeling her hands on me again. Finally I was just in my briefs and Willow was in her bra and underwear. I kissed her again as I lowered her down on the bed. “I missed you so much,” I murmured. “I know. Now make love to me, Nathaniel.” Willow smiled up at me. The rest of our clothes came off and landed on the floor. I was breathing heavily as I kissed down Willow’s body. I think anticipation was making me breathless. Her fingers ran through my hair as I hooked her legs over my shoulder, ready to blow her min

    *Willow*I never thought Nathaniel and I could be together again.He had done too much. He drank too much, lied, and ruined my relationship with my mother. And now he didn’t really drink, was incredibly honest and he had fixed things between me and Mom.Mom and I spent hours at that restaurant, laughing and talking. Not about my accomplishments or beating Nathaniel. Just about any and everything. Sure, she was still a nut, but she was my nut and I was so happy to have her back. I had Nathaniel to thank for that.I couldn’t lie, I was starting to think that maybe it could work. But did he feel that way? Had I pushed him away too many times now and he was done trying?I wanted to know so desperately, but the wedding was actually happening and I had to focus on that. It felt like kind of a miracle that Lee was actually getting married today.“Where is your mind girl?” Joy asked. “Nowhere,” She raised her eyebrows. “Nathaniel.”“What happened?”“Nothing, but I might want it to again.

    *Willow*I had no idea what to expect for this lunch.I wasn't sure what to wear at all, but Nathaniel assured me a nice summer dress would do. I trusted him even though this was super weird. “Do you know what Nathaniel has planned for me tomorrow?” I asked Julian.“Maybe.”“Well what is it?”“A surprise. Sorry Willow, I am sworn to secrecy.” Julian stated. “It's a good thing though right?” I asked. “Of course. I think Nathaniel is way past hurting you at this point. He got tired of himself too, but he’s doing so much better.”“I can really see that.”“You like what you see?” Julian raised his eyebrows. “You still crushing on him?”I forced a laugh. “What? No, no. I mean…why? Does he talk about me like that still?”“Not sure. He’s really trying to focus on being a good person and not just for you, but himself.”“That’s good. It’s what he should be doing. He shouldn’t be thinking about me.”“You’re right,” Julian smiled. “But he definitely still does.”--I got to the restaurant ear

    *Willow*I was so disgusted with Jude.I thought he was different. I thought he would actually help me out of the kindness of his heart and because he believed I was something great. But no, he wanted to fuck me.“What a creep,” Levi shook his head. “I’m sorry that was happening all summer.”“I didn’t even realize it. I was so oblivious and I just wanted to succeed.”“I completely understand. I mean I didn’t see how awful Mark was.”“True enough. I just hope I still get to prove myself to other people.” I sighed. “Hey, you’re going to. The great part is he really did introduce you to important people. Your name is still on their minds, you just don’t have to deal with that jerk.” I smiled. “Hm, you're right about that.”“I have been known to be very smart.”We pulled into Katherine’s driveway and rang the bellMiranda answered with a smile on her face. “Hi guys!” We hugged before entering the house. “Willow, I’m so glad you’re here, I need your help.”“With what?”“Well remember th

    TW: This chapter depicts elements of sexual harassment.*Willow*I was frozen in my seat, unsure of what to do. I truly didn’t think that Jude had feelings for me like this or that he thought I had them for him. “Jude, just wait-”“I can give you everything you want Willow. And you can do the same for me.”He kissed me again, wrapping me tightly in his arms. I think this was wrong. He was kind of my boss and I didn’t want to wreck that professional relationship. But I also wasn’t sure how to tell him that.Jude’s lips moved down to my neck as he moaned loudly. I could feel his erection through his pants. What the fuck should I do?I was relieved when my phone rang.I shoved Jude away and answered. “Hello?”“Hey, just wanted to make sure you’re okay. Are you coming home?” Scarlett asked. “Yes, yes! Right now actually see you soon. Bye.” I hung up. “Um, Jude that was my sister and-and she really wants me home.”“You’re an adult, Willow, you don’t have to listen to her.” Jude looked m

    *Willow*“You know, you two are much more affectionate than usual.” Katherine pointed out. “We just feel more comfortable around other people, I guess.” Levi smiled. “Yeah, that must be it.” I kissed his cheek. I think I was throwing myself into my relationship with Levi a bit. I just didn't want to think about Nathaniel and all that was going on with him. It was easier to focus on me and Levi. “You guys are so good together,” Miranda smiled. “I’m glad Willow has a nice guy.”“You’ll have one when you’re ready too,” I assured her. Miranda already seemed so different. She wasn’t nearly as jumpy or fidgety now that she wasn’t with Mark. While Mark was at work, we went to their home and got all of Miranda’s stuff out. Mark had been constantly calling both Levi and Miranda and they blocked him. They were both done with him and I was so happy about that. “I’ve started reaching out to old friends from when I was in grad school. I’m hoping they’ll forgive me for just ghosting them.” M

  • I Hate You, Let's Kiss   Not Therapy

    *Nathaniel*Therapy was weird. Every day after the internship, I would go to therapy to talk about my feelings and it was strange. I did like that so much attention was on me, but I could tell my therapist didn't think I was digging deep enough. I hadn’t even told him about my relationship with Willow yet. I just told stories of me drinking too much, leaving out that Willow was here for a few of them and saved me. “This isn’t therapy, Nathaniel, it’s counseling.” He reminded me. “Whatever, it still feels weird. Why can’t we just get to the root of the issue and get it over with?” I asked. “Because you don’t want to go deeper.”“It's hard.”“Lucky for you I’m a very patient man and know how to deal with Watson men.”“Maybe that's what it is. It’s weird that you actually know me.”Joel chuckled. “I guess me being your godfather does make things a little strange.”“You think?”Joel was basically my dad’s best friend. He was his sponsor while my mom was pregnant with me and really he

    *Willow*God that was so fucking humiliating. Nathaniel sure knew how to cause a scene, didn’t he?“Wait…you two are seeing each other?” Scarlett asked. “Um, kinda.” I muttered. “Willow, is it so hard for you to sleep with someone outside of this house and family?” Mom practically sneered.Even though I was no longer with Nathaniel, Mom still didn’t want to talk to me unless it was something mean being said. This was the woman I was desperate to have back in my life.“It was me, Bianca.” Levi informed her. “I’ve just really always liked Willow.”“Oh I believe you did start it, Levi. My daughter can’t seem to resist a boy when he gets her on her back.”“Mom, come on!” Scarlett snapped. “You’re only defending her because you were the same way.” Mom shook her head. “So I'm not dreaming?” Skyler asked. “You two are together?”Levi smiled. “Yeah, Mom we are. I mean we’re testing the waters anyway.”“Exactly.” I nodded. “Willow, I thought you were a nice girl, but you broke my son,” S
