On the next morning, Nia got out off the bed at ten in the morning. She was sound asleep last night and didn't bother to check if she had a housemate.
At eighteen years old, she became independent by living on her own and having three part time jobs at Bronx, New York while studying in an open university for college.
She was an assistant chef in an Italian restaurant, a cashier until three in the afternoon and an online doctor since she is a Psychology Major. All in all, every week, she got a total salary of $4,550, enough for her to spend on foods, clothes and her college tuition.
Her mom often give her an allowance of $5,000 a week even if she refused it, it will be transferred to her bank account. She just got used to it and let the remaining money in her account.
Until recently, she withdraw half of her money for her vacation.
Maybe she can cook a meal for her housemate for a commemoration of her stay in the house.
With much excitement, she went to the bathroom and started to put some essential oil to the bath tub, took off her clothes and let the bubbles sink in to her skin.

Bryce is already awake but he didn't open his eyes until he heard the water dripping from the bathroom.
Did he leave it open after he shower? Or is there a burglar in his house?
But the security in his condo is tight. If there's any suspicious person seen from the Cctv's around the fifty floor building will automatically reported to the police.
He shouldn't feel threatened. His place also has security guards all over the place, even in the elevators.
He sigh. Maybe he's just frustrated that her Mom didn't call him after the favor he did yesterday. Not even a single thank you.
He wonder why there is no such information for that girl. Or the flight might be cancelled. Ah! I shouldn't think of that!
He got up from his bed, walk past his working desk and went to the kitchen to prepare his espresso coffee when he remember that he left his car keys on the bathroom after he took a shower.
He carefully put down the saucer on his desk before putting down the mug of coffee. It will better for him to start his day with it so that he will not be grumpy later when doing his work.
The water dripping on the bathroom stopped after he step inside. His brows furrow in one line and decided to remove his feathery slippers before continue going in.
There was a female voice humming a song near the shower.
He open the glass door to be shocked by the sight of a naked, beautiful woman facing the shower.
Her buttocks are rounded and her skin is milky, no signs of any blemish or scratch on her legs. He swallowed the saliva on his watery mouth and slap his face.
He shouldn't enjoy the view in front of him. He should ask first who the lady was and why she's on his condo! Is this burglar taking a shower and then will took some of his valuable things before she will leave? I don't think that's reasonable!
He quickly turn around and closed the door, making a loud noise.
That made the lady shout.
"Who'se there? Don't you dare open the shower door!"
Bryce chuckled loudly. "I already did. I didn't see something interesting, though so you don't need to worry. Get dressed and we'll talk afterwards."
He walk back to his seat and sat, facing his laptop desk and mindlessly sipped on his hot brewed coffee.
"Ouch!"
His tongue got numb with too much heat from the coffee and he spit it on his printed papers.
"Damn! I will need to reprint those papers because of that naked woman!"
He quickly put the papers in the laundry line located in his small balcony. He put on clothes pin to hold the wet papers.
He also went to his room and was about to call her mother when he saw her text.
Mom: Son, is Nia on your condo? My secretary gave her your door keys yesterday. I just want to check if she's comfortable on your place.
Me: Mom! Why do you always say things late?
He typed in and erased. Instead, he replied:
Me: She is. When will you get her here? Or do I need to bring her to your place?
Mom: She'll stay with you for the meantime while I'm arranging somethings for her. Be good, okay?
Me:You know that a stranger man and woman should not stay in one place.
Mom:She and you we're different. I trust you that you'll behave well, son. She's a daughter I'll never had.
Me:Isn't this a set up?
Mom: Haha! No, darling. She need to recover and you'll be a perfect match to help her.
Me: Why of all people, me?
Mom: Because you are my son. Now, be a good boy and behave. See you, soon!
Gritting his teeth, Bryce threw his phone in his soft pillow. He was very much pissed at the taught that a woman would live with him even it's temporary. He's not used to having a woman in his life after his ex-girlfriend killed herself in his old place.
How would he react on her presence? Does he need to talk to her all the time? Do they need to eat facing each other on the table everyday? Does he need to cook for the breakfast just to please her mother's visitor? Does he need to accompany her if she wants to tour around the city?
Oh, looks like my schedule has been fucked up!
He closed his eyes and the sight of the woman's round buttocks came to his sight.
Those milky-long legs will be in good use to hook down to his waist when they made love. Those slender hips will be perfect for his hands to handle when he will put her on top of the kitchen counter before he will wildly kiss her. And those silhouette of her breast will a beautiful scenery to behold.
He shook his head and open his eyes.
Why does he need to see that scenario in his mind?
Fucked! He will have endless sleepless nights from tonight!
After Nia dressed up with her favorite purple balloon tube top and stretchable pants. She just grab a coat from her closet without checking its color since she'll just use it to cover her top and she'll remove it eventually in her own office. She want to spend more time sleeping now rather than working or doing anything in her office. She wants to take a few months off but her mother is very strict and she doesn't want her to just crawled up in bed all day!Nia got dressed at exactly seven in the morning so that she can still go back to sleep until nine in the morning. Though her sleep was interrupted since her dad came in at eight thirty."Come on, sleepy head! You can skip going to office right now but still you need to go to the car right away so that we won't be late to your doctor's appointment!" He carefully guide her shoulder and back to get up from bed as her mother put her black Jimmy Choo flat shoes."Yeah, you c
34Without Agatha's consent, Nia went in to her Ob-Gyne's appointment. Unlike the other women who were also sitting in the designated metal bench with their mother or husband, Nia is sitting side by side with Scott. As expected, all eyes are directed to them since Scott's age is showing with all the wrinkles on his face and she, on the other hand, looks like his wife based on how they looked a her.Nia whispered at Scott. "Their looks are hilarious, aren't they? Do I look like your wife or something? I thought the people here aren't judgemental but based on their reactions, I think they are.""Let them think what they want to think about us. What matters the most is for us to know if you have a little bean growing here." Scott carefully touch her small tummy before he continued, "And if I'll be a grandfather soon! I'll be excited to boast with my amigos about your pregnancy. I'm sure they're eyes will be as big as an owl when they'll
To Nia's surprise, a cold atmosphere was filled in the air after she came back to the dinning table where both her mom Agatha and Scott where silently glancing at her. She knew they were talking with their eyes since they are having a weird hand gestures while eating. As if a bomb will explode anytime soon!"Mom, is there something I need to know? Both of you are dead silent after I came back from shower. Is there something wrong?" The smile on her lips slowly fades as none of them answer her question. "So, there is?"Scott cleared her throat a couple of times before he took a deep sigh and made an eye contact with her. "Darling, you don't need to worry about it. Your mom and I will take care of it, I swear!"Nia felt her mom kicked Scott's feet and that result for his crumpled like face with a fake smile on his lips."Is it about Bryce? Oh, come on! Does he have an upcoming surprise for me?" She grinned only to s
Bryce flew back to the Philippines since his Dad wants to formally announce that he will be the new Chairman of McClove Holdings Corporation. His father built the company using his own inheritance from his grandparents. Their family business got bankrupt three times because of their greedy competitors. Luckily, when his Dad helped an old man to buy his meal in a fast food stall without asking for anything, the same old man helped him out to get loan from his own bank. It happened that the old man is a multi-million are and he didn't have any family to inherit his own business. Coincidentally, it's the same time when his father's family diswoned him because he took Business Administration Major in Marketing Management although his family wants him to take Neurosurgeon course. In fact
Nia woke up when her alarm rings. She's expecting to see Bryce on the other side of the bed since its only seven in the morning but all she saw is the shadow of his head on the other pillow. She lazily remove the pink ruffled comforter around her and suddenly, she felt a sting on her head. Maybe because she didn't have enough sleep. She took off her clothes and while on shower, she remembered that last night is the most memorable night for them and Bryce. At last, they made their relationship official! She felt more secure now that she heard Bryce and Scott's man-to-man conversation about marriage. She knew in heart that Bryce is a responsible man and he wouldn't promise to do anything that he cannot do in the future. She continue doing her morning routine and gathered all her files needed for the dress pattern that she need to pass to the factory. She'll just see Bryce later after office hours. "Hey, darling! I prepared some sandwich for you si
After the heated passion cool down, Bryce put her on top of his left shoulder, making his arm her pillow and his other hand is stroking her disheveled hair. "I'm sorry, I'm not able to contact you when you left. I'm dealing with the mental break down I had. I felt like I'm a robot back then that I need to do everything that is on a scheduled routine. My life is a mess. I don't know how to explain it further but I hope you'll forgive me, Nia. I didn't intent to leave you when you need me the most." His eyes looks like its pleading for forgiveness. "You're mom told me everything before I went back here. I trust her words that she'll support us if we are fated to meet each other someday. To be honest, I felt hurt when I didn't get anything from you everyday for the last couple of years. I thought if I will let myself be drowned on the negative side, how can I meet you again? I also had my own dose of breakdown. I can't tell anyone even mom how I feel for the last two an
