-NATHAN-
Her friend walked towards me just as Anastasia closed the door behind her… I should probably not be angry that he got to kiss her because he is gay. Isn’t he? Or does he like Anastasia and is pretending in front of her?
I am going to have Stella run some background checks. Just as he reached the car I drove off leaving him hanging in his bloody towel. Bloody hell! I slammed my fist on the steering wheel in frustration I don’t, DON’T have feelings for her then why in god’s name am I feeling jealous?
It is just an attraction I feel nothing more but why didn’t I tell her ‘I don’t know’... this was supposed to be a done deal not one where she falls for me in the process. What I did today was wrong but when I got the message that the bloody ex of hers came to my house.
I panicked... I thought she is going to cheat on me and leave me like Jocelyn that fear is keeping me away from h
-ANASTASIA-“Cain I will see you at the café later. Okay?” I called out from the front door, he went to get dressed just before I had to go. I heard say fine so I closed the door and went outside his gate to wait for my uber when I saw James park in front of me. My brow raised in confusion. “Good morning James?”He nodded and opened the door of the car. “Ready when you are ma’am.”So he sent James to pick me up when I asked him not to come. Seriously when will Nathan stop controlling my life? I checked my phone to see that my uber driver cancelled since there was a family emergency. Sighing I got into the car feeling grumpy, I noticed the small smile on James’ face. “He did not win. And call me Tasha or Mrs. Dominic not ma’am.”“Yes ma’am... sorry Mrs. Dominic.”We reached home within minutes, I took a few breaths before getting out. How is t
-ANASTASIA-“Why didn’t you tell me that she was going to be here?” Priya asked annoyed at Cain, who shrugged in reply.I thought he was going to have some good reason that might make her want to stay. “Priya please just listen to me and then you can go.” She pushed her chair back in so I held her wrist to stop her. “Please.”“Priya just listen to her once.” Priya looked between us and then sighed before taking a seat.I sat beside Cain and offered her the muffin again and this time she took it from me with a glare but regardless bit into it, I knew she wouldn’t say no to the muffin. “Priya, I created that website years back if I remember correctly I think I was 13.”“Nerd.” Cain mocked beside me making me punch his shoulder. “You created a website at 13 what else am I supposed to call you?”Priya chuckled. “Maybe human geni
-ANASTASIA-Gerald had texted me to wear something simple but good for a party but when I asked him if it was a party we were going to, he said, “No just a roof top bar that will be crowded.”I almost laughed. My makeup was already done considering I had to cover up the puffiness in my eyes. My hair was put into a pony tail for the time being, so there was still scope for change. All that was left was the dress, I had two choices either I could go with the white shift dress that had beautiful crochet style on the white frock or a black broad open shoulder dress.I liked them both but I couldn’t just pick one. I send pictures to Priya and Cain and waited for their reply which took fifteen minutes. Okay so they had a unanimous decision I shouldn’t look pregnant so the shift dress was the choice.Hurriedly I wore the dress paired with a brown tie up heels, I know I hate heels but I had to look decent. Checking f
-ANASTASIA-I sighed. “Do we have to go this early? And plus it is so hot outside.”If he wanted to go to the beach then we could go but at an appropriate time when everyone is awake and not half asleep. “Do you know to swim?”“Of course.”He shrugged. Groaning I closed the door and searched for something to wear this early. The air conditioner in the room made me want to jump back into the bed but if I did that then Nathan will haunt me in my dreams as well.I should probably ask Priya and Cain if this is right and I already forgot to tell them about the date. I quickly texted them all that happened yesterday night and Nathan’s surprise visit in the morning.Priya was the first one to text back. Priya: Nathan is totally jealous. You should go with him and show him what he is missing.Cain: Yawn! Why are you girls awake?Cain:
-NATHAN-Anastasia kept quiet throughout the ride to the restaurant I caught her staring at me once or twice but I decided not to comment on it. I know I feel for her but I don’t know if it is love or just friendship because when I was with Jocelyn it felt different. She was all gifts and dates but with Anastasia I don’t know we brawled with each other on small things but I didn’t find her annoying and damn she is sexy.I saw her shivering in her towel from the breeze so I slowed down and looked at her. “If you are feeling that cold you should wear your dress.”“I am just waiting for myself to dry.” Her hair was still wet and sticking to her face making her pale face look bright. “Brr...”This is what I find a problem with her, she doesn’t like to listen… I told her no dating and that there will be no divorce but she managed to convince me with her big green eyes. “J
-ANASTASIA-As soon as we reached home I went to my room and shut the door. I thought things were getting better at least in that moment but no... Huffing I threw my phone at the bed exactly at the moment it rang. “Hello Tasha.”“Hi mom.” I answered getting into the shower and placing the phone on the stand so that it didn’t get wet. “What’s up?”She was silent for a few more minutes before speaking. “Lilly is sick again.”Oh! This was not good and I knew that. It was now the third time. “Will she make it?”“I don’t know honey. But you should stay there, you have to take care of Helena. Your father is doing his best.”I nodded. “I know. Did Adam get back?” I asked changing the subject. I am already pissed and thinking of my sick horse isn’t going to make it better.“Yes... Natalie is enjoying herself in th
-ANASTASIA-I swirled in my chair for the second time before giving Priya a cheerful smile. “What happened that you are so happy today?”I shrugged. “Just had a feeling that today will be good day. And in a few hours I will get to go and pick up Helena from her grandparents. Show me more of your designs.”Priya nodded excitedly and showed me other jewelry designs for her wedding, as far as my research went Indian women wore a lot of jewelry to the wedding and Priya was no different. We were finalizing what looked good on her so that she could send it to her family in India who will get it made.I even picked a silver earring for myself, I think she called it a jhumka. “Didn’t you say you were wearing red then why do you want that necklace?”“Concentrate, Tasha. This one is for my henna ceremony.” Yeah, they apparently have a few pre wedding ceremonies before the actual thing. I
-ANASTASIA-Laughing I took another chip from the packet and bit into it. I looked beside me to see Helena gaping at the TV trying to understand what is going on. “You need to be bigger to get it.” I told her before chuckling at another joke Jake from Brooklyn Nine Nine said.It was already 4pm and I got back from work an hour back with Helena. We were well rested and had taken our respective showers after which we are now relaxing in the living room waiting for Nathan to show up. Actually Helena is the one who is waiting I am just watching her.It has been a week and I haven’t still spoken to him about the promotion, in fact the conversation between us was bare minimum. My phone pinged with a message from the realtor that I had found online. There was an affordable flat ready a little away from work. She sent me the pictures to review. I had visited the place, it needed urgent cleaning which I assume now is done from the
