Alexia's POV."This is Nathaniel when he was five. He enjoyed playing in his tiny little panties at the time." Ann said zooming in on the picture. We got along, Ann and I. We got along enough for me to forget that I was lying to her and here she was showing me embarrassing pictures of my supposed boyfriend. "Mum enjoyed wearing girl's panties for him when he was a kid. I mean he could pass as a girl." Natalia inputted. I could see that okay. It seemed like Ann wanted a daughter so badly that when her son came out as a boy, a really pretty boy at that she started playing dress-up with him. "You don't know shit, Natalia," Nathaniel grumbled. "Oh, I know a lot okay. Mum and dad always tell the story any chance they get." Natalia said with a shrug glancing at Nathaniel for a total of two seconds before going back to her phone again. She has been on it since I got here and hasn't dropped it since. "Nathaniel loved dressing as a girl too. He used to tell me
Alexia's POV."Knock knock."I let out a frustrated groan and rolled over in my bed. This is the second time in a roll that my sleep has been cut short. I think I might have done something to piss mother universe off or something like that. This particular person has been knocking for a while now. I ignored it at first and hoped that the person would take a hint and leave but Nah, he or she was persistent and I hope to God that I can stop myself from killing the person. "Knock knock."Dammit!"Just a sec," I called out and managed to drag my body out of bed. I opened the door and lo and behold, it was Natalia and she had her nose buried in her cellphone again- I wasn't even the least bit surprised. "Good morning Natalia," I grumbled even though there was nothing good about this morning considering the fact that she interrupted my sleep. "Good morning, Alex. I am so sorry for waking you but I thought Nate already informed you." She said. "Informed
Nathaniel's POV. Alexia might have taken me a little serious when I asked her to break a leg because she did break a leg. At least I think she broke her leg, I am no doctor but I know for sure that the angle in which her ankle is facing is weird as fuck and just not right. "You do know I was joking when I asked you to break a leg?" I asked her. Imagine my horror when a worried Natalia called me and started going on and on about Alexia trying to try a heel on and tripping...I honestly didn't get anything she said I figured Alexia was hurt and I left my workplace immediately. One of the many perks of owning the company. "I know that okay. I am embarrassed enough as it is don't rub it in." She answered angling her face in such a way that her hair covered her. We have been at the hospital for like thirty minutes now. They already took her to take a scan of her leg and we were waiting for the result. I sent my driver to take Natalia back home. She insisted on staying with Alexia but I
Alexia's POV.I know I should not be enjoying the fact that Liam and Nathaniel are fussing over me but I am. I know Nathaniel was just playing the role of my fake boyfriend to make Liam jealous and I was enjoying every single bit of it. I know y'all must be curious about how I broke, scratch that, sprained my ankle. Here it goes, I was trying on a pretty nude strappy heel. I have never been a heels person until the double date when Lara made me wear one. I found out that I liked the way it made me feel, in control, powerful and it was as if I was on top of the world, literally. So yeah, I wanted to buy another pair of heels. I already tried on three different heels at the time and there was no problem. No accident. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Not until Natalia thought she was done with pressing her phone and wanted to talk. We were talking and I was bending the down trying to tie the strap of the heels. Looking back now, I should have just sat down on one of the many couches in the
Alexia's POV. I knew it was just a matter of time before my editor Brenda lost her cool. She gave me a break from writing after my last two books were a hit but that break ended about two months ago. The plan was to write two more books to publish almost immediately. She said something about taking advantage of the fact that my last two books sold out fast and were still the talk of the town. I couldn't come up with anything to write though. I mean I have ideas, I have a million drafts but that is just natural. Drafts are just drafts though. I could just pick one of those million draft and start writing something right? But it wasn't as simple as it sounded. It was like I have hit a dead end. None of my drafts was appealing enough. Nah, appealing is not the word. Exciting. Thrilling enough. I didn't have that feeling yet, that feeling of rightness. None of my drafts felt right. "It doesn't have to feel right, Alexia. Just write something down." Brenda insisted. "I can't just write
Alexia's POV. Liam's word got in my head so much that I completely forgot to order dinner as Natalia asked. I should be immune to his dismissal by now but I guess I wasn't tough enough. It was starting to look like I and Nathaniel's effort wasn't having the desired effect on him and it got me thinking if he was so blind to my feelings for him. He had to have seen a hint or something. "I can't believe you forgot to order dinner. I am so hungry I don't think I would be able to survive another minute." Natalia whined from where she was seated beside Liam. It looks like her world revolved around him and she wasn't scared to show it. "Stop exaggerating. You must have had lunch when you were in Liam's school." "I didn't. I was too fascinated and excited to digest anything other than a Cola." She answered. "We can still order now," I said picking up my phone. "That is going to take a while. Liam, can you cook?" She asked "Uhhmm...I can boil water." He stuttered. She giggled. Yes, she
Nathaniel's POV. She has never been kissed by anyone before. Two days later and I still can't get over that fact. I can't explain why that pleases me so goddamn much. It took a lot for me to stop myself from kissing her properly when I realized that she hasn't had her first kiss yet. "We do not have to go to the hospital. My ankle is perfectly fine now, as you can see." She argued. We have been at it for exactly five minutes now. Her ankle does look fine but I wasn't pleased."I can see it but I still think we should get confirmation from the doctor before you start putting your weight on it," I told her and she shook her head at me. "Do you like the hospital that much? I promise you I am fine, I have been fine for a while now. I can stand on it and it doesn't even hurt anymore." She said."It is impossible to reason with you. Help me out here, Natalia." "I think you are the one being dramatic here, big brother. She said she is perfectly fine as you can see. I don't think there is
Alexia's POV. "I feel good knowing I won't be seeing your face around for the next two weeks," Liam told Nathaniel. It was past dinner time already and we were at Nathaniel's apartment helping him pack his luggage. He didn't have much to pack so we finished packing about twenty minutes ago. He didn't want to accept my help before but I insisted. "You and me both, Liam," Natalia said. I was having mixed feelings about his departure. I have only known him for a month and some weeks and I already feel so attached. I am blaming it on the fact that he was the first person I met in this apartment and I never cared to make any other friends after I met him. We have gotten really close over the weeks and I knew for sure that I was going to miss him. "You are just beefing me, Natalia. Don't think you will have the house to yourself for those weeks. I do not trust you with yourself especially since you started having..." He stopped talking when Natalia sent him a hard glare. If looks could
