After Chad pulled away from me, I stared at him with a lost expression. There was no way in the world I was seeing things right.

I widened my eyes, closed them, reopened them to his presence. "Wh..why are you here?" I stuttered, trying to process what had just happened between us. I was lost on why he would show up.

"Are you going to let me in?" He ran his fingers through his hair.

I moved aside so I could let him in, although I was still lost from all that was going on. "O...okay?"

I secured the door locked with a click of the key. "Chad, why are you here?" I no longer had reasons to refer to him as Mr. Bush. I knew any other normal person would have freaked out and would care to know why they were kissed all of a sudden, and against their will but I was curious as to why he was here.

"Nikki." He held me in his arms and shook me a little. "I'm sorry for what I did." He held me at arm's length and heaved a sigh as he got lost in my eyes.

"I know I don't deserve forgiveness but I…" he

Thoroughly enjoying this story, I was disappointed in what she heard and what is he thinking, he told his fiancée to go wait at his place and he would see her. He’s a busy little man! It’s a bit confusing/annoying that his name is going from Chad to Cole?! I didn’t know what was going on first. Lol

    Cole must have thought he had heard wrong because he stared at me like I had grown three more heads. I wished he would understand how uncomfortable he was making me, and just give me a straight answer. I looked at everywhere in the room except from him. "Nikki, what are you saying?" He shook his head in response, finally speaking. "I mean…" he stepped backward

    I got to the scene I was certain the accident had occured but other than the place being out of access, a few other people were scattered around with news reporter talking to their specific cameras.There was a heavy traffic jam, knowing this was a major route in the city.The murmurs were deafening and they blended into one voice. The smell of blood made my stomach clench tight. I turned to look at the woman standing next to me, her phone serving a camera purpose as she took snaps of the disaster."Excuse me, what about the people involved in the accident?" I had to know."They were driven in an ambulance to City hospital I think, that's how much I know." She said with a smile, returning her focus to the action she had been performing."Oh dear God." I found my way out of the crowd. There was no way I could find a cab to get me there in time when considering the hold up that was in front

    "Mom?" I tried to sit up but I couldn't do so, thanks to the hospital equipments that had me clipped to the bed. My eyes went wide, how could she have seen Nikki? This was doom for us. What was the point if everything? How could Nikki have been so careless.She heaved a sigh, "I know it was her. I met her gaze as soon as I walked into the building and as if she was trying to confirm my suspicions, she ran off without wasting any more time." She paused to look at me for a while, Chad, why would you lie to me?" She didn't sound as angry as I expected her to be. I knew there was no point in attempting to hide the truth from her anymore.I hadn't thought anyone would be able to recognize Nikki if they saw her without the expensive makeup from that day. She looked nothing like the same person in ny opinion and the mere fact that my mother of all people noticed the woman, was everything. She wasn't that pretty, was she?"Mom, I

    RebeccaI went into the room, not bothering myself with his mother. They were both up to no good and from the look of things, she wasn't going to be telling me what they were doing and so I knew the best thing to do was to hear it straight from the horse's mouth.She had been repeating Mandy is ever since she walked out of hat room and none of that was healthy for my impatience. It was only a matter of time before I got mad and took things far.Chad fluttered his eyes open when I walked into the room. I had almost pushed his mother to the floor when she wouldn't stop tugging at my arm, trying to stop me from going into the room, and nothing honestly vexed me more."Chad!" I took angry strides to his side of the bed and sat in front of him. "What do you mean Nikki looks like Mandy? Who the fuck is Mandy and why did your mother sound disappointed to find out who Nikki really is?"

    I gave Chad another phone call when I accepted their request. I had thought deep about it and it made no sense for me to drive back to the hospital especially considering how far it was from my house."Hi, sorry, are you still with Chad?" I called through the phone when his mother picked up."I am, dear, are you on your way yet?" She wondered, probably thinking about why I had called back so soon."No, no." I shook my head. "In fact, I called to... let me speak to Chad please.""Okay." She said and I heard a few strides in the background before she put me on the phone with Chad."Hey, okay, first, nothing gives you the right to call my mother when you feel like it." He began. Rude much?I rolled my eyes at him and heaved a sigh."Look, I'm not calling your mom for any special reason whatsoever. I wanted to talk to you." I scoffed. He thought he had t

    I closed my eyes, unable to process the right emotion to feel. Before I could mentally catch up with the fact that he had just kissed me, his hands trailed from my face to my waist.He withdrew his lips from mine so I could catch up with breathing. He buried his face in my neck and kissed it softly. His face continued downwards and he buried it between my chest.

    I moved to my left and squeezed myself the huge sized 'pillow' lying beside me. It felt so comfortable and I knew I didn't want to get up for any reason whatsoever.In my subconscious state, I remembered that I wasn't home, and that the pillow was none other than Chad. I snapped my eyes open and sat up instantly.

    “I just can't believe he would do that.” I sniffed and sat on one of the couches. I wanted to get things over with.

Cornelius was trying his best to make me feel better and although I did appreciate it, it was not being helpful.

    NikkiI stood from where I sat with furrowed eyebrows and my gazed fixed on Chad. "What is she doing here?" I was thrown back. My feet were unable to consume my balance and I felt trapped. I wanted to be out of there the quickest that I could.My eyes went back to Rebecca when she broke the silence for a confused Chad that could not stop scratching the back of his neck. He was clearly not expecting her to show up here and was not taking her entrance lightly.

    “Rebecca what are you doing?” I retreated from her, my eye wide open in shock I had no proper reaction because it was utterly unexpected and my brain was still trying to understand what had happened and of course she had to take it the wrong way.“I see you are speechless, that means you are all in, huh?” she came even closer than before and pulled me loser to her face with a firm grip on my neck and that was all I really needed to snap back to my senses. “What on earth are you doing?” I raised my voice, harshly slapping her hands off of me, I did not care less if I was supposed to respect her but she was being disrespectful and nothing pissed me off more.

    Nikki was curious to know what the outcome of my conversation had been but I was more keen on dismissing her. I wanted to spend time with her and even force her to stay overnight but if I had to deal with my Rebecca situation before it was too late, I knew that now was the right time."She is predictable, she said she wanted to say hello because she was passing by." I rubbed the back of my neck, knowing how obvious that was if a lie.She crossed one leg over the other and raised one suspicious eyebrow at me. "Chad...""Nikki, just ignore her please." I sat in front of her and poured her a glass of cold water. "You look like you can really use some of that."She didn't say anything in response, successfully making me further uncomfortable."I'm sorry." I heaved a sighed, "trust me." felt a omo grow in my throat from saying the words especially knowing I was not worthy of her trust

    ChadI panicked internally as Nikki directed the security man to let Rebecca in. I was getting mad beyond my capacity as how inconsiderate Rebecca was being especially since we had just had met in my office only a few hours ago. I thought if she pissed me too far, I would give ahead to press charges on privacy invasion without hesitation."I'm not going to allow her into this house." I focused on my reality one more time and cut in with Nikki and the patient man still standing there, waiting for my decision. "Whatever it is she wants, I'll go speak to her myself." I said, turning around to meet Nikki's gaze and on seeing the frown that she had, I immediately went to her side and gave her a small kiss on her forehead."I'm sorry." I said when I pulled away, "don't worry about anything, I know how to feel with this." I assured her and looked up at the man, "come on."I left her slipping into

    “What are you talking about?” I asked her, standing to my feet in shock. I placed both my hands by the edge of the desk to support the out of nowhere dizziness that suddenly seemed to spiral around me endlessly.“You heard me Chad.” She stood to her feet as well and folded her hands across her chest. She looked up at the ceiling and sighed before looking back at me. “I took one at home first and then I did a blood test.” She opened the purse in her hand and revealed what looked like a hospital test results. This was all the proof I needed to know that she was not playing.My hands
