Chapter No.5

Juliet Diaz:-

"Yes, he was definitely going to kiss me, Anica, and you know what? I would have let him as his lips are really kissable and can tell do wonders on any woman's body, except for yours, since you don't have got natural one but filled with God knows how much silicon valley."  I snapped, rudely making Anica's body to tremble with anger.

"You bitch! He's mine and I won't let you snatch him away from me. He loves me and I love him. You are just a whore who is trying to come in between us." Anica shouted and I laughed while Nick gave me a death glare, and I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, do whatever you want with plastic barbie, but out of my hospital room since I don't want to see you both doing disgusting this." I snickered and watched Nick drag Anica out of the room while I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath and cursed at my messed up life.

After a few minutes, Nick entered with a straight expression and spoke.

"Did you really have to do that?" he asked, his hands in the pocket of his white coats.

"Yes, I did, after all it was you, who was going to kiss me, not me, so your fiance should know what type of man she is about to marry." I replied and sighed "Nick, can you please step out. I just want to be alone."

"Nope, you are getting discharged. I am taking you home with me." he answered, checking on my vitals.

"What about Anica? Will she be fine with our living arrangements?" I asked, trying to find a way to get out of this " Have you told her?"

"Told her what?" he asked with a frown.

"About us having sex in the past," I replied "Because, clearly the way she looks at me is as if she knows and wants to castrate me six feet under the ground and by the way, she doesn't love you, but your wealth."

"I know that." he answered with a shrug "And, no. She doesn't know and she won't know about it, just like Zack won't know about it. Ever."

"Don't worry, I wasn't planning to tell anyway. After all it wasn't enjoyable if I remember. You suck on bed." I insulted, hitting on his male ego becuase the next moment his lips were on mine.

His lips met mine heavily; the sensation coursed through me, through every sinew and fibre of my being. It was not gentle or sweet – it was angry, claiming, and accompanied by resentment. For a second I couldn’t say a word; finally, I realized what was happening and my anger flared, and I broke the kiss apart.

"Nick, what the hell?!" I gasped and got off, though my fingers traced the outline of my lips, sensitive from the kiss.

He grinned, panting hard as he braced himself with his hands on the mattress edge.

"Oh really you want to discuss who suck at what now?"

I looked at him angrily and felt my cheeks turn red. "Oh, so that's your response? Prove me wrong by sticking your tongue down my throat? Very mature, Nick."

"You push, Juliet," he said shortly, his eyes intent upon me. "You poke and prod, and then you wonder why I poke you back."

"Push back? You kissed me!" I snapped, my heart racing. "And what about Anica? Is not she your beloved fiancée?"

He ruffled his hair and the playful smile slipped from his face and looked more intense. “Anica and I… it is not really simple to explain what type of relationship we have.” You know that. But this –”

He pointed his finger between us "– this isn’t about her. It’s about you not being able to let me go. You provoke me at every opportunity that comes your way. Some would might say that you want me."

"Oh please! Yeah, I want you. But not inside of me but in a grave. Dead!" I snapped, making him laugh and leave the room as his pager went off.

After three hours, I was discharged and getting wheeled in Nicholas's lavish penthouse, that literally took my breath away and smiled.

"Wow, you have really done great with your life. Love your place." I complimented and he smiled.

"Thank you." he thanked, approaching with glass of water and some pills "Here, have these. They will help you with the pain and healing, then I am going to show you to your room."

"Nick, please. I will..." he cuts me off with his glare and watched me take the pill and gulp the whole glass of water. He nodded in satisfaction and carried me to the guest room instead of wheeling me down on the wheel chair and laid me on the bed, and covered me with the soft comforter.

"Take some rest and I will bring something for you to eat in a couple of hours since I need to prepare dinner." he informs and my eyes lit up at the mention of meal cooked by him as he is a fabulous cook.

"Wow, now that I am looking forward to eat, as I might not like you, but I love the food you cook." I tell with a grin, and licked my lips as I felt my mouth getting watered already just by the mention of it.

Nick laughed, a hearty sound, and then stopped shaking his head and standing to full height.

“I am pleased to know that I have some virtues in your eyes and lying on face is not a good habit." he tells and I groaned, but didn't open my mouth to speak as the pillows were so comfy and soft that I closed my eyes and moaned.

"Wow...now, this feels amazing." I mumbled or more like moaned in comfort, but when I looked at Nick's gaze, his darkened gaze I gulped and watched him leave in a hurry.

Wait! Was the desire in Nick's eyes for me?

No...No, that can't be. He has a fiance and according to him, he considers me as a sister, not a woman he can have affair with and yet, he fucked me years ago and kissed me on the lips today.

So yeah! He definitely doesn't consider me his sister, but scared to make a move on me because of his friendship with my military brother.
