Alexia's POV.
"What about this?" I asked. I have tried on a total of ten dresses in thirty minutes and Nathaniel's and Lara's reply hasn't changed since. More like, Lara disagrees and forces Nathaniel to agree with her."Nahhh, that won't do," Lara commented. I threw my hands up in surrender."I am done here. What exactly will do? This is the tenth dress already. I am going for a date, not a gala." I exclaimed and I think I heard Nathaniel chuckle but I wasn't too sure cause he covered his face with the magazine he was reading."We are trying to make Liam realize his feelings for you, baby girl. You have to look hot, like so hot that he gets tongue-tied and stutters." Lara said.Yes, she is in on the whole thing too. I had to tell her cause she had the misconception that they were something going on between me and Nathaniel. Apparently, he has never booked an appointment for any girl before apart from his little sister and she iAlexia's POV."You know you don't have to be nervous right?" Nathaniel asked. "I am not."I was, nervous I mean, very nervous might I add and you can tell just how nervous I was from the way I couldn't stop wringing my hands. "Yeah right." He answered with a laugh and I scoffed. He removed his hand from the steering wheel and took mine in his and squeezed it. "Just remember that I am right here and all you have to do is to tell me if you can't take it anymore and we will leave immediately." He said. "I know," I said smiling up at him even though he wasn't looking at me again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"This is it," Nathaniel announced when we finally got to the restaurant that Liam had reserved. "I don't think I can do this," I whispered but he heard me anyway. He moved around in his seat until he was facing me then I felt his fingers on my jaw forcing me to meet his eyes."Come on no
Nathaniel's pov. It has been a week since the double date with Liam and his girlfriend and honestly, I think there is something there. Liam definitely has other feelings for Alexia, I am not just sure what his feelings were. It could be a crush or maybe something deeper. The way he looked at her when he noticed her in the restaurant still replays in my head every hour like a broken CD. No man would look at a woman like that unless likes her. And let us not forget the fact that he was jealous when Alexia asked me to order for her. He didn't even ask his girlfriend what she wanted. Maybe I was just reading too much into it. I mean they have been best friends since like forever and it might just be an uncontrollable habit to always ask her what she wanted to order. He did ask her if she wanted the usual... I don't know why the way he looked at her is bothering me but it is bothering me I mean and that is just crazy cause this is the point of the whole fake relationship
Alexia's POV. "Tada!" I have been home all day doing nothing, scratch that, I wouldn't call outlining anything. I have been busy writing an outline for my story even though I was a hundred percent sure I will end up diverting from what I have outlined. It still felt good to have an outline though. Makes me feel more organized than I am. "What are you doing here?" I asked. He placed his hand on his chest as if he was hurt. "You wound me, Lexi. Are you saying you are not happy to see your boyfriend?" He asked and I chuckled moving out of his way so he can come in. Something weird always happens to me inside whenever he calls me that."Fake boyfriend, Nathaniel." I corrected. "Same thing." He said dryly. I was supposed to tell him it wasn't the same thing but I was more interested in what he had in his hand. "What is in there?" I asked jutting my chin out. "This...it is...Uhm...dinner." He said. "Really? What did you get?" I asked but didn't w
Alexia's POV. "I am going to break that phone" I declared in my head, not out loud. I can't be the only one that hates when his or her sleep is interrupted. I don't have anything against mornings but I don't love them either especially when I get woken up by the sound of my phone ringing. I moved on my bed without opening my eyes and started patting every surface I could feel just so I could reach my phone. The only problem here is that I don't think I was on my bed. I have a really big bed, you know the ones with princess canopies and extremely soft mattresses. What I was sleeping on was anything but soft. I moved around a bit again and then I froze when I heard someone groan. Someone? There is someone here with me? In my room. I don't remember inviting Liam over and... it took me exactly three seconds for me to remember who was in the room with me. Nathaniel. I sat up so fast that I hit my head on something, probably a table. "Can you stop moving ar
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
