Chapter 18: In which she gets caught...nearly.
"Ugh! Who turned on the stupid lights!" I groaned as I tried to cover my eyes with the soft silk blanket.
And heard a groan from behind me.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" I woke up screaming my lungs out, which caused the person next to me to jolt awake with me.
"Savannah! What the hell!" He said covering his ears.
"Nathan! What on God's green Earth are you doing in my house?" And then I looked around. "Why on God's green Earth am I in your house?!"
“Don’t you remember?” Nate spoke, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “Your red-head friend dropped you off last night, dead drunk.”
Crap! Crap! Crap! What on earth did I do this time?
Think Savannah! Think! I thought through a massive hangover. And then it all came back to me...
Me calling Nikki for a drink...me getting dead drunk...me spilling my guts out to her..."Aaaaaahhhhhhh!"

Chapter 19: In which she gets disillusioned. It was Monday, and I was running late...again!I swear all this secrecy is making me tired and clumsy. I really need to talk to Sam, but I can't since I know he's planning to overthrow our father from his own company by slowly and steadily buying out the other shareholders and I don't want to disturb him right now. My brother has a very bad temper when he is interrupted.Reaching Synclair Inc. a good 45 minutes later that normal, I was literally jumping up and down (my imaginary way of making an elevator work faster), when the doors opened to Nate’s floor on a scene that I had never expected to find.There was a huge crowd in the lobby, which parted a bit to let me through as I stepped forward, and right in the middle of the crowd was Nathan in a navy blue pin striped business suit and a crisp white shirt, his expression that of a caged lion about to pounce, while two guards sto
Chapter 20: In which she decides to let go. Holding the tray tightly in one hand, I lifted the other and knocked on Nate's door. Thrice.No answer.So I repeated the process again...and again.Still no answer.Strange. I know he's still in because I could see that the lights were on inside his cabin through the small stained glass section on the door. And Nate always turns the lights off when he isn’t inside his office.Discarding formalities, I twisted the doorknob and pushed opened the door. I let Nate have his way throughout the day, but now it's time for the girlfriend to step in.But when I opened the door, my anger at being ignored all day disappeared into thin air.Nathan sat in his chair, working on his laptop, but instead of working, both his hands were on the table, one lying limply on the laptop keyboard and the other folded at the elbow with his head lying on top of it.What s
Chapter 21: In which she is ready to face the bumpy road.Stuck in a bathroom, in the same situation as her, I can now finally understand why Bella felt like she needed to prep herself up before she went to her awaiting husband Edward Cullen....in my case boss/boyfriend Nathan Synclair.Both men are pure perfection…if you could ignore the sparkles.I mean, the sparkling was a bit overrated, but who cares about glitters when there's a delicious six pack underneath it, right? Edward wasn’t all that toned in Movie 1 but he sure got fit later on. As for me, I didn’t have that problem with Nate. From the way his shirts hugged his form, there was nothing left to the imagination as to what lay underneath.I had seen Nate shirtless countless times back in high school too. He used to be the goalkeeper in our soccer team in Bellevue High and he sure had some toned abs that countless bitches ran their hands through. But no regrets
Chapter 22: In which she is about to get a memorable date night. "You know, this walk of shame usually comes after a night full of hot, passionate sex?""Why are you so cranky this morning?" Nate peeped around the wall to look at the parking lot, trying to imitate James Bond, who used to be his favourite character back in high school, but I think he looks better than all the actors who played that role...who I seriously know nothing about. God I hate thrillers and action movies and right now, I hate Nathan Synclair!"Because you spent your entire high school life being a player and now you decide to be a Saint!" I muttered under my breath grudgingly.Look, I know I'm being cranky but you would too if you served yourself up to the guy you like in a silver platter and he suddenly decides to be the righteous one and decides to do the whole 'dating' thing before we proceed to the final step! I mean, seriously! I didn't ask
Chapter 23: In which she has the time of her life. "How often have you gone sightseeing?" Nate asked me as he parked his car in Central Avenue."Never," I answered truthfully. "I moved here to get a job, failed five times before I got to meet you and since then it's been work, work, work!""Pity," he pouted those sensuous lips of his, making me want to bite them. The temptation was so bad that I almost missed what he was saying. "...failed five interviews?""Yeah...they wanted experienced candidates with real college degrees." I guessed that was what he had asked.And I guessed right! "Oh well! Their loss, my gain." He winked at me and got out of the car and came to my side."What are we doing here?" I asked as he helped me out."Having fun, of course!" He pulled me away from the car and set the locked it."But where are we-WOW!""I told you we're gonna have fun." Nate whispered in my ear as I stared ah
Chapter 24- In which things start to go downhill.Walking up was beyond difficult. My legs felt as heavy as stones and wobbly as I walked out into the hallway in just my underwear. Thankfully, nothing was torn or things would get awkward if I had to go back to city with an underwear missing.I wouldn’t have been this tired if last night had been the only love-making we had done, but Nate had woken me up sometime early this morning, when the sun wasn’t up yet but I could hear birds chirping on my windowsill. And then we had made sweet love once again as I had lost myself in his embrace. Well…I wasn’t complaining about the awesome night I had but I was complaining about being sore all over. Damn it! It had been a while.The sun streaming through the glass windows lit the entire hallway and living area. I found our discarded clothes lying on the floor not far from the bedroom door. I picked up both our clothes, but instead
Chapter 25: In which she plans a surprise."I thought I was going home.""We are home.""And since when is your penthouse apartment my home?""Since the night we spent together at your house having hot, passionate sex," Nate said with a sly smirk as my cheeks heated to a tomato red."Nathan David Synclair! That is not how you ask a girl to move in with you!" I complained sternly while my insides were turning to mush. Oh My God! Did Nathan Synclair just ask me to move in with him?Well…technically he didn’t ask. He just parked the car in the parking of his apartment building and declared that I was moving in."It's a good thing I'm not asking then," Nate replied smugly as he turned off the ignition.I've only been here once, but a building this grand can be pretty hard to forget. The grand entrance hall, the elegant stairs and the huge spacious apartments. There were 21 floors in this compl
Chapter 26: In which she turns it into a home."Incoming." Tina's voice was low, spoken in a hushed whisper."Roger that. Proceed to Plan B." I answered and clicked the off button on my airpods.Now if you're thinking that aliens just invaded Planet Earth and we're under attack by some otherworldly evil force and that I'm commanding a squadron of novice pilots to defend us....then you're completely right.The alien (named Nathan Synclair) had just reached the office (Planet Earth) and I, Savannah Tresscot (Commander) am trying to organize a Thanksgiving apocalyptic party (otherworldly evil force), which is apocalyptic because it can either end up a huge success or with Nathan turning into a zombie and eating the entire team alive, with Tina, Roan and Beth (novice squadron pilots) becoming the casualties. Just that simple. Not!"Beth! Pumpkin! Chocolate chips!""Ready!""Roan," I spoke again through the airpod
