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
Alexia's POV. I should stop him. I know I should but my brain and body were not in cahoots at the moment. I don't know how it happened but somehow I woke up in Nathaniel's arms. That wasn't even what woke me up. I thought I was dreaming at first until it felt too real to be a dream. His hand was under my shirt or rather his shirt and it was directly on my breast. His thumb was flicking and pulling my hard nipples and even though he was only touching my breast I could feel his touch all over my body. It was like my body was on fire. I let out a soft sigh when he squeezed my breast. "Nathaniel." I tried to wake him but my voice came out as a sigh. I raised my hand to try to push him away from me but I pulled him closer instead. What I said. My brain and body want different things. He pinched my nipples between his fingers sending tremors down my body. I was getting wetter by seconds and I tried rubbing my thighs together to ease the ache a bit. Oblivious to my dilemma, Nathaniel co
Alexia's POV. I snuggled deeper into the bed although someone was trying to shake me awake. The person chuckled and then placed a kiss on my cheek. "I will be leaving for the airport any minute from now." That woke me up immediately. I sat up so fast that I bumped my head with Nathaniel. "Ouch...why are you so close?" I whined rubbing my forehead. He chuckled. "Good morning to you too, Alexia." He said before standing up straight. He was already dressed in his thousand dollars designer suit and it fitted him like a second skin. My favorite part was the fact that the pants hugged his bum making that bum look even better than it always does. How does someone's bum look better? What is your obsession with his bum? "If you are done ogling my backside then maybe you might want to get out of bed and see me off." He teased.I don't know whether I was supposed to appreciate the fact that he didn't bring up what happened yesterday night or not. Maybe he doesn't remember what happened.
Alexia's POV. The kiss I have been anticipating since forever was happening now and I had no idea what I was supposed to do with myself. My hands were hanging loosely by my side and my eyes were wide open. I distantly remember him asking me to relax when he kiss me but I couldn't relax. I was feeling too much at once. The panic that I didn't know the first thing about kissing. Writing romance novels doesn't exactly teach one what to do when you are being kissed. And I was still in shock. Why was he kissing me all of sudden? Why was he kissing me when this morning he just told me... He pulled back a bit but his lips grazed mine as he spoke. "Stop thinking too much and relax, Alexia. I don't think they are buying it with how stiff you are." Right. We were acting. This is just an act. To make Liam jealous and convince Natalia that we're in fact in a relationship. What did you think it was before? He didn't even have sex with you and you are already reading too much meaning to his
