It was not only irritating to be in the same room as him but also infuriating. Everytime I saw his face, an image of him kissing Isadora haunted me. I was pissed at him, and maybe more at me because of being so affected by them kissing. It shouldn't have mattered. It simply shouldn't!

I shouldn't have been feeling this way. The feeling of having tears almost clog your gut, the feeling where your body could topple over at any moment, the feeling where gravity wins and your heart lunges into the abyss. It wasn't heartbreak but at the same time I wouldn't say my heart was okay, that I was okay.

"You can take the bed, I'll take the couch,"he said the moment we stepped into the room.

It was better that way, the room itself looked exquisite with a king sized bed downing the room, paintings of the countryside hung around, curtains pure white and light, and the breeze from the balcony, so rich that I could smell the fresh earth. I dropped my bags on the floor, wandering off to the bathroom.

    Watching her last night walking around wrapped in nothing but a towel was pure torture. She was so oblivious of how tempting she was at the moment. I stared at my laptop trying to keep up with the sales report but who was I kidding, I couldn't focus. Not with her long legs visible to my eyes, not with the wild thoughts that ran in my head, thoughts of grabbing her and taking off the flimsy towel from her body and making ooh sweet... sweet love to her.I stood up leaving the room and heading to the shower to take one cold bath. It wasn't just a mere bath, it was a good five minutes of stroking my length until I decided that this wasn't healthy. Having absurd thoughts about her wasn't healthy for me. When I got out of the bathroom, she was already getting under the covers and I took some of the blankets from the closet going to the small couch to rest."Dang it!" I groaned inaudibly. Sleeping on that couch was like forcing a llama to sleep on a manger, not to mention, it felt like I cou

    Fresh air, the feeling of branches snapping underneath our feet, birds chattering, the warm winter breeze hitting my face. I could stay here forever enjoying the outdoors yet no matter how much I tried to focus on the mission, my thoughts went back to him. To how close we were in the morning, to how beautiful he looked in the morning with his hair all over the place and his chest-ooh that fine fine chest. When people talked about love, I had always said that the only love that existed was the one between families. That in absolutely no way would your heart beat rapidly when you saw your significant other, that in no way would you think about someone 24/7 or get butterflies in your stomach whenever you saw him or even get goosebumps whenever you touched.Yet... I was thinking about him 24/7. God forbid, even now I was still thinking about him. Whenever I thought about him, it was a whirlwind of emotions inside of my heart. I hated him for making me be his pretend girlfriend but I a

    Terrified, that was one way to put how I felt at the moment. My hands were covered in blood as Niklaus tried to keep himself together. In one way or another, I knew I had to remove the clasped metal from his foot. If I didn't do that then in a couple of minutes he would bleed to death."I'm going to do this and you have to be strong, Nick",I said nervously and he nodded in pain, his head falling back.In one, two and three my hands were on both side of the trap pulling hard as I could."I'm gonna need you to pull out your leg, Niklaus. As fast as I open this, I need you to pull your leg out, please", I strained feeling tears fall down my cheek.Frankly I didn't know why I was crying, all I knew was with the state of helplessness I was in, with Niklaus bleeding and us being in the eerie darkness ignited emotions of sadness and fear. He was going to die because of me.I pulled the dang rusty metal with all my might and I felt Niklaus slowly lift his leg from it's clutches. As immediate

    It was already ten minutes since I had asked the nurse to bring Eleanor in. I was worried without a doubt, back there she seemed terrified of my blood, of seeing me in that situation and like a helpless guy I had let her go through all that.The machines beeping around me like an old grandfather clock ticking, did nothing to calm my nerves. When the door opened and a distraught Eleanor walked in, I sighed feeling relieved that she escaped with only a scratch on her forehead."Hey. H-how's your leg doing?" She asked trying to hide the tears at the brink of her eyes."Bad news is, I can walk again",I joked but her face was still as stern as ever."Niklaus you could have died! There was a lot of blood, you were struggling to breath. I thought-I thought you would die because of me""It wasn't your fault, I went out to search for you remember?""Yeah but still...you shouldn't have done that. You should have waited for Murray and the rest of the guys""What and risk Isadora finding out I di

    "What do you want to do today?",she asked and with a bored look I mentally groaned,'Stay in bed all day doing nothing'"Breakfast would be nice",I gestured, slowly getting up and resting my back against the head board.Never in my life had I been this pampered. Breakfast in bed, watching movies in bed, lunch in bed, taking strolls outside the garden and ironically bedtime stories with her. The first few weeks were great, learning something new about her everyday, getting to know her passions, mastering her intoxicating smell because she was always so near me.We took strolls in the garden often and she expressed her love for lilies. When I asked her why she didn't like roses like most women did, she fired back that she wasn't like other women something I had to firmly agree with. Her favorite flowers were the tiger lilies which she claimed had a sweet scent that simply made her drawn to them unlike the white lilies and the day lilies.'You know it's good once in a while to enjoy some

    "All set?" I asked once we got in the car. Mrs Jenna had visited and I was actually happy to see her. She surprised me when she said that she only found out about Niklaus' accident today. Ofcourse I knew Nick liked to keep things to himself, loved to be isolated but for God's sake Mrs Jenna was his mother and she deserved to know about his accident.Regardless for the few weeks I had spent with him, things between us were- I would say good. Underneath that grumpy cold gorgeous exterior, deep down Niklaus was a big softie like a giant teddy bear I wanted to squeeze in my arms forever. I know it was pathetic of me, pathetic to even dream that he would look at me the same way he did Isadora, but a girl could only hope, right?I could only hope that watching movies together while cuddling, taking afternoon strolls in the garden while laughing at anything that came to mind, stargazing while we camped just outside the house...that somehow he had the same warm fuzzy feelings in his heart li

    "Everything is all set, Sir",the manager of the 7 Mirrors Restaurant peered at me and I showed my gratitude with just a mere nod.I had rented the whole restaurant to ourselves, to be alone with her for the entire night. I looked around feeling as if everything would be too much for her. For example the ensemble playing classical music, was it too much? Or was the food too much?Courtesy of the chef, on our table adorned in white petals were different cuisines like Kobe Beef, almas beluga caviar and black truffle brie Cheese served on a gold flake-infused corn tortilla, there was also chicken adobo over steamed rice coupled with soy-vinegar dipping sauce on the side with some chopped up garlic and chilli, I had also gone to a large extent as to order the chef to prepare some Thai cuisines like Yam Pla Dook Foo which was fried catfish with green mango salad.In a way, I wanted to see her smile while her eyes widened at the different flavors all in one table. One thing that Eleanor coul

    There were certain things in life that were impossible. Like waking up and finding a million dollars in your bed, like waking up and finding yourself almost as fast as The Flash. And the most impossible thing that up to now I found difficult to believe was that Niklaus Rogers liked me well technically it was loved me even though he didn't put it that way.I clung to his shoulder almost trying to make out whether this was a dream. My stomach was full but that didn't stop me from taking his hand when he asked me to dance. Everything. He went through an extra mile to do all this for me. We slow danced to the song 'In The Stars by Benson Borne' and my heart raced with excitement. Niklaus Rogers was my boyfriend now.It didn't seem possible and deep down I wanted to scream from sheer excitement. I wanted to confess that I loved him, I loved how good he smelled, I loved the way he smiled, how grumpy he could get, I loved the fact that he treated me differently, made me feel important? And l

    Epilogue"I really think we should stop!",Elle shrieked with laughter her hands trying to push me away.My hands cornered on my very desk as I gazed at her beauty. Eight years of marriage and three kids and she still looked the same to me."Do you really want me to stop?"I smirked tapping my fingers from her knee down down down her thigh.It was her fault anyway for coming to me dressed in that. She knew how much that dress was a turn on for me. I wanted nothing but to rip it off."Y-yes oooooh",she gasped the moment I ran my fingers at the outline of her panties."You should... should stop",her eyes stared at me,"remember last time we tried to make love in your office", she warned.My smile turned wicked. How could I forget. How could I forget the way everyone looked at me when I entered the conference room. I simply I had no words.What was a guy to do when our top most clients heard Elle and I moaning over the microphone?It was safe to say that that was the most embarrassing moment

    Good bye.I had watched blood drain from her face the instant I said that.Did I mean it though? I wish I did. I wish I ripped her out of my heart and this madness would end right there and then.I wish I wouldn't be so worried about how she was doing, about how she was. But what's done is done, there was no point of going back to the past.Letting go was a hard thing to do but it was for the best, for me and for her. I loved her, I loved her since we were kids that wouldn't change and even if I fell in love with someone else I think a part of me would always love Elle.She was my first love after all.On a casual Wednesday morning, I was in my office preparing for a meeting. I would fly to the Philippines next week to visit Mario and help him out with some of the issues he had been trying to handle himself.Drizella was quick to inform me that Mario had some issues but he was trying to be the big boy, trying to handle everything by himself so that he could not ask me for help.I coul

    He stoked a fire in me, he brought the other wild side of me. My body responded to his touch and my heart ooh my heart turned to jello the very instant he murmured my name like a Benediction.And when he kept on repeating the words 'I love you' with no shame hell I felt loved and God knows I wanted to say 'I love you too'.As I watched him sleep, his naked chest glistening against the morning's sunlight I realised I had feelings for this man. I thought I buried these feelings deep inside but here I was smiling amusedly at how handsome he looked while he was asleep.I didn't regret yesterday at the very least. I was supposed to but I didn't.Deep down when I imagined sex, Niklaus was the only man I was having sex with and not Rocco. I loved Rocco. I used to love Rocco but after everything that transpired yesterday that love seemed to simmer down quickly than steam.Was it possible to love two guys at the same time?With Rocco, he was the perfect man and I guess that's what I was lookin

    The light clearly starting to peer through the room made my eyes flutter open.I would have loved to stay in bed all day, to sleep with her all day. Yesterday was- I had always imagined us but yesterday couldn't compare to my day dreams.It was like in a moment, I was in heaven. In a dream even.When I saw the fear in her eyes yesterday as I tugged on the lace of her panties, I sure as hell knew that she hadn't slept with Rocco.And like a fool, I found myself grinning at that. I was the only supposed to touch her, I was the only supposed to be inside her.Once my head came to the conclusion that she was still a virgin, I tried my best not to ravish her immediately. I tried my best to be in control, to not be a caveman, to make sure that the night was perfect.To inscribe that night on her mind forever. And when I was inside of her, feeling her walls convulse around me, I wanted nothing but to come so hard.I restrained myself, I wanted her to reach her orgasm first. For her to have t

    After Rocco left me to sleep, I sat on my bed frustratedly. I simply couldn't wait for Isadora and Daniel's wedding to push through and I would leave home.I loved home, I really do but things were changing too fast. Rocco was changing too and I didn't like it one bit.I was bored infact that I started following the patterns on my floral pillows. Few minutes later, the pounding on the door grabbed my intention.The door suddenly opened and Issa popped her head in,"Can I come in?" She asked."Well your head is already in you might as well welcome your body in too", I humored.She trudged to my bed and carefully sat by the bedside. Then she narrowed her eyes at me her lips curling into a smile,"What?" I asked after a minute of piercing silence."Am just trying to figure out why you are mad and who you are mad at"What sort of question was that."You know very well why am mad. You all kept secrets from me. You know I hate secrets and am mad at all of you""It wasn't our secret to share

    "I think we are done for today, don't you think?" I grunted pushing the abdominal roller away.Ava sat on the mat looking rather disappointed and although I didn't want to intervene in her personal matters, I felt the need to.Since I went back for the equipment she had been acting strangely...well she did act strangely at times but she wasn't quite herself today.I sat on the mat next to her, my hands on my knees as I stared at her,"So...how was the date?"She rolled her eyes and I chuckled."That bad huh?" I asked.She quirked a brow turning her head so that we could be at a level with her."He lives with his mom",she grumbled."And that's bad because?""Are you seriously asking me that? He's a gamer, spends all his time playing videogames in his parents' basement. And before you ask, yes he told me all that""Atleast he is honest", I joked,"I mean he did come clean about his living situation""He is not my type, Niklaus. I just don't understand why all men can't be like you",she j

    Jealousy. Google described jealousy as the feeling or showing an envious resentment of someone or their achievements, possessions, or perceived advantages.I didn't know her nor of her achievements and possessions so there was no way I was jealous even though it took a couple of minutes for them to remember my presence in the room.After they parted from the hug, Niklaus turned to me paving way for me to get a glimpse of Ava clearly. She had an oval face, full lips, black hair that was tied up in a ponytail and don't get me started on her body. She was a ten over ten.I suspected she wasn't any of Niklaus' relatives otherwise I would have met her. And it really got me thinking how she got inside the house since there was a code to unlock the doors, unless she knew the code."Ava, this is-"I cut Niklaus off."I'm Isabella, nice to meet you", I greeted."You didn't tell me about her",Ava slapped his chest slightly and Niklaus laughed. He laughed.A whole thunderous chuckle when he was

    He was so irritating. I felt like smacking that smug of his face the minute he said 'I was his'.Just who did he think he was, he was crazy if he thought that I would kiss him in an instant. And dad! Ooh I was so mad at dad.Since when did he start liking Niklaus. They hated each other, well atleast I thought so. I trudged down the hallway remembering each room by heart.I remembered my old bedroom and just down the hall to the left was his room.The very same room where we lay together in each other's arms watching Stranger things. I found myself smiling recalling how he would ask what was so special with 'Steve Harrington'. Steve Harrington was everything to the female population. He was hot, funny and whoo don't get me started on his hair.I stood just outside my old room turning the knob and opening the door. Not only was the room clean but it was the same. As if I never left in the first place, I walked in closing the door behind me.The same vanity table, the same purple sheets

    I cringed feeling her tear up on my chest. I knew she would be stubborn but I hadn't expected her to cry. I expected her to hit me, to hurt me but not to cry.Though she did hurt me, I could feel the metallic taste of fresh blood on my mouth and my cheek was numb.She was really strong than she imagined.I run my fingers in her hair, feeling it's silkiness. She sniffled only to step away from me as if my touch was burning her."No",she wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand,"this isn't right"It's right, baby. Everything between us feels right. I haven't felt this way since you left.I wanted to tell her, to scoop her in my arms and tell her everything on my mind.Her eyes rose to meet mine and for a brief moment, I saw her gasp lightly."I did that?"She pointed to my face only then did I remember the little cut on my lip."It's not your fault. Don't mind it, I sort of deserved it", I chuckled trying to make her feel less guilty."Am not a monster like you, Niklaus.
