*Willow*“You look incredible, Willow.” Orlando said as we sat down for dinner.I had on a tight blue silk dress. It looked a lot more expensive than it actually was. “You look handsome. So what is this sudden interest in me?”“I’ve always been interested in you. I just finally feel like you’re interested in me too.”“You’re not horrible to look at,” I grinned. “And neither are you.” Orlando winked. “So…what do I need to know?”“About what?”“About you? I mean all I know are the basics about Willow Monroe, but I want to go deeper.”I wasn’t sure if he meant sexually or mentally. I was open to both.“I wanna create my own company one day,” I said. “That I’m the CEO of. I want to show people what I can do. That I’m more than Scarlett’s sister. Or a vessel for my mom to win some crazy rivalry.”“I see. I feel the same way actually. Everyone just thinks of me as Emmanuel Ruiz’s grandson.”“What do you want to do with your life?” I asked. “Honestly? I have no idea.”I was kind of shocke
*Nathaniel*Willow wouldn’t even breathe in my direction for the next couple of days.She was beyond pissed with me and I loved it. We were given new bugs to find in our system since Jude didn’t want us ahead of the others. Willow always got to work in the computer lab first so she could take the lead. I didn’t mind. I was more focused on winning the next challenge.Today she was muttering under her breath the way she always did when she got hyped up. I was throwing this girl off just like I wanted to. “Psst!” I swiveled around to see Shauna. “What are you doing tonight?”“Why? You wanna wine and dine me?” I grinned. I was surprised when she nodded. “Yeah, actually…unless you’re not allowed out at night.”“I think I can make it happen.”“We’ll talk at lunch.” Shauna winked at me.Willow snorted. “What?” I asked. “She’s playing you.”“How do you figure?” “Look at her…then look at you. Look at her again. She’s the daughter of a supermodel, she can have any man she wants…why would
*Nathaniel*I checked my reflection a million times. I think I looked pretty damn hot, if I did say so myself. Shauna was going to want to devour me. As I went to close my balcony doors I noticed Willow on hers. She was staring into space I think. She was probably thinking of that night. Most of the time I forget it. I mean it didn’t happen to me, so why would I care and think about it so much? I didn’t need to. I had a date.--Shauna answered the door to her condo in a sexy red dress that was leaving nothing up to the imagination. I swear my mouth was watering.“Come in,” She smiled.“Smells amazing,” I commented. “Thanks. So…what did you tell Willow you’re doing tonight?”“Drinks with Julian. She didn’t suspect a thing.” Shauna bit her lip. “I bet. Want a drink?”“Got any whiskey?” I questioned. “Only the best. Take a seat.”I settled on the couch and waited for my drink. “So you and Willow sure did solve that bug problem quickly. How did you do that?”I was going to brag ab
*Willow*“Um, what are you doing here?” Gerald asked. “Getting a drink. What are you doing working here? You’re supposed to have some paid medical internship right?”“Well the thing about that is…I don’t.”“Meaning?”“Look, I dropped out of med school and now I have no idea what I’m doing. This was the best job I could find. It pays shockingly well.” He admitted. “Gerald, why did you drop out?” I whispered. “I thought you were so excited to be a doctor.”He sighed. “I’m not. Look, my shift is about to end. Just go in and I’ll have a drink with you. I’m waiting for someone anyways.I nodded before going in. I ordered a vodka cranberry and waited at the table. Girls were dancing on the stage. They were all very pretty.Gerald joined a few minutes later. “I thought you were supposed to be at the comedy club.”“I’ll go back in a few. Show doesn’t start for like half an hour. Just needed some air.” I shrugged. “You okay?”“I hate when people ask me that, you know? No one used to ask me
*Nathaniel*“I didn’t know you could draw,” I commented. “There’s a lot of things you don’t know.” Willow responded. “God you’re an asshole.”“Takes one to know one”“Mature. How did Orlando take you canceling?” I asked. “He got all moody. The man is insatiable.”“Disgusting. You’re not gonna be his girlfriend right?”“What the fuck do you care?” Willow questioned. “God, I'm just making conversation!”“Well mind your own fucking business! I don’t ask you about Shauna. She’s weird by the way.”“How?” I questioned as though I didn’t know she was straight out of her mind.“She seems to think we’re friends or something, it’s very odd.”“Yeah that is weird.” I muttered. I would never mention to Willow that Shauna thought we were dating. Then I might have to admit that everytime I cum with Shauna she makes me say Willow’s name. It’s so fucking strange how quickly I got used to it. “Nathaniel?” Scarlett popped her head in the computer room. “Have you seen Gerald?”“Um, he has his medic
*Nathaniel*No, no, no!I could not be stuck in an elevator with Willow! This was a living nightmare.“No, it has to work!” I exclaimed, as I slammed the button. “Yeah, keep doing that, I’m sure it will work.” Willow rolled her eyes.“Oh shut up!” I snapped. “Why don’t you get your phone out and text someone?”She reached in her purse and groaned. “No fucking service.”I checked my own phone. Same thing. Instead I reached for the elevator phone. “Hello? Anyone here.”I was met with static and nothing else. Great, so it didn’t even fucking work. What was the point?“I didn’t see Gerald’s car out there.” Willow stated. “So what?”“So he’s not home yet. He’ll get here and see that the elevator isn’t working. We’ll be rescued.”“Yeah, how long do we have to wait for that?” I asked. “How the hell am I supposed to know?”“You don’t have to be so bitchy, you know?”“Neither do you.” Willow slid down the floor. I did the same on the other side. We just stared at each other. I wasn’t sure
*Nathaniel*A pool party was the perfect way to relax this weekend. We invited everyone from the internship over to the mansion for a fun day of swimming and drinking. It was finally starting to feel like a real summer.“This is exactly what I need,” Julian grinned as he put his sunglasses on. “An actual relaxing weekend.”“You’re not gonna do…the thing this weekend right?” “No, I’ll take a break. But Monday I’m back on it.”“You have to tell Joy, man. She knows something is up.”Julian groaned. “She will not understand me at all, man. I mean how do I tell her that I love-”“Whoo!” Joy ran out of the mansion and jumped in the pool, causing a loud splash. Levi jumped in after her. I guess we would have to discuss this later. Not an hour later, the backyard was filled with all our friends. “Where the hell is Willow?” Orlando asked. “My dick is twitching for her.”“Disgusting. And I don’t know, getting ready I guess.”“How am I doing with her? Keeping her distracted well?”“Um, may
*Willow*I had to look hot today. Never had I felt comfortable in a bikini, but I had just gotten a new one and I was determined to feel confident and amazing in it. I wanted to turn heads and make someone’s mouth water. My dad was right. Summer was supposed to be fun and I was going to make sure it would be for me. There was a knock on my door.“Come in!”“Hey, Willow…oh wow.” Levi smiled. “You um…look great.”“Thank you. What’s up?” I asked. “I uh heard you got stuck in the elevator the other night. Are you alright?” “I am yeah, it was no big deal. Nathaniel was with me.”“Good…good.”“Um…anything else?”“I don’t understand what happened Willow,” Levi sighed. “I feel like you were really comfortable with me before and now you’re not. Did I do something wrong?”“No, of course not, Levi. I just want you and Joy to have all the space and time to enjoy your situation.”“Joy has been keeping you updated then?”“Yes, but don’t be mad at her, Levi, she just needs someone to talk to.”
