The next days were hard for everyone. After a couple of months, Damien and Lauren had slipped into a coma and the police were still conducting their investigation so Jane and Nathan were stuck with Paula and Gab. It was more of a routine. Jane would wake up with Harry as they now slept together. She would bathe then feed him then they would play all day at the gazebo as Jane read his children's book and stories. It was almost perfect, the connection that had blossomed between them and she wasn’t complaining. Meanwhile, Nathan had to give reports on the research he had been researching and handed it over to top government officials before they would get into any trouble. So on days like this, Nathan would have breakfast with Gab in the dining before coming out to the gazebo to greet Harry. On this particular day, Nathan came out without a shirt on and as Jane looked up, the sun shone directly on the biceps he had grown back at the little gym at the back of the hous
It was a dream all over again. The hospital lights blinding her eyes and the smell of disinfectant defiling her nose. She twitched, noticing that it was somewhere warm this time and not cold and alone like the other time she had woken up in the hospital. She willed her eyes to open but they were so heavy and her voice so dry. She counted stars, wishing someone would hear her thoughts and know that she was here and alive. She twitched her fingers and the warmth around them increased, she smiled. This meant that whoever it was had been there for her, not letting her be alone. After what seemed like an eternity she finally opened her eyes, blinking severally when the hospital lights burned them. Suddenly someone was in her view, Damien. His head was wrapped with a bandage but he was alive and that was all that mattered to her. she smiled or at least she tried to. He engulfed her in a hug careful not to hurt her. “I was going to lose my mind if you didn’t wake up
It had been a simple plan. Go back to the room with Lisa and have fun, or at the very least forget a certain someone.That plan was one Nathan hadn’t thought about properly. Even as they two wandered in the dark as he tried the light switch he knew he was making a mistake.When he finally found it at the far end of the wall he was ready to get rid of Lisa. But the alcohol had a strong hold on him that he wasn’t strong enough to escape.“Nice room you have here,” Lisa said, making her way to the window and sighing when she saw it had the perfect view to the ocean. “It’s definitely bigger than mine by a double.”Nathan nodded absentmindedly as he stared at her, wishing it was Jane standing there instead. He didn’t understand exactly what it was about her that drew him in.The image of Jane holding onto those strong male hands flew back into his head and he cussed out not even realizing he had said it out loud. Heck if Jane was going to have company this night then he had every right to.
It takes a while for me to process what Damien said. My head starts to throb and I feel dizzy, needing to rest on the table to keep my weight up.I feel Lisa come up beside me, her stance worried as she watched me listen to Damien over the phone.“Jonas said they got in late but she insisted on going out to get some fresh air, she hasn’t been back since then,” Damien continued.Nathan saw sparks. “Who the hell is Jonas and why are they together?” he barked, his hand tightening around the phone. Lisa reached over and loosening his grip on it with a soothing smile.“The guy from earlier, the one she came to the resort with,” Damien answered, paused, then continued. “She was going to introduce you too but you left before she could come over and say hi.”Jonas or whatever his name was called, Nathan decided he despised the guy and was going to snap him into two whenever he was within reach.“Have you notified the management so they can call a search party or something,” Nathan said, alre
In every outcome Nathan had thought of his venturing to see Jane, he hadn’t thought it would go like this.With her kissing him like her life depended on it and him drinking and tasting every bit of her that he could. He wasn’t sure what the kiss meant for them, but for him it meant the possibility that they still had a chance to be together.Wrapped in her own desires Jane couldn’t control the way her body responded to his, like she has been thirsty for a long time and he was the only water that could cure her.It took only a second when they broke off to come up for air for her to realize her foolishness of letting him know how much he affected him.Without thinking she pushed him away and took a step back. “What do you think you’re doing?” she asked, eyes still glazed over from the kiss- Nathan could see that much.“We just kissed Jane, it’s exactly what it looks like,” Nathan replied, struggling to keep himself from pulling her back into his arms where he belonged. This was not th
The tears of a woman are the most melancholic feelings Nathan had ever encountered. It wasn’t a pleasant sight and it didn’t bring him satisfaction.He watched her hand quiver on the door knob, no doubt wishing that the door will open immediately and put up the wall that existed between them.Nathan knew he had to make it right somehow in this very moment. She was vulnerable to her feelings now, plus her boyfriend wasn’t anywhere near to influence her decisions.If he was right then he’ll probably be asleep considering the fact he was yet to open the door and he hadn’t bothered to come look for her. “Jane,” he tried again, this time letting the frustration he felt to seep into his voice. “Can you listen to me for a second.”She sniffed, barely hearing him speak over the thundering in her ears and her sniffing. “I don’t like it when you cry, it breaks my heart,” he said, wiping the fresh tears that currently coated her eyes. “I hate to see you cry.”Nathan was never one to consider h
The first he had felt in the kiss with Jane was absent but Lisa was warm all the same. Well enough to stir a certain need in him that Jane had started.He didn’t want to let his mind wander because he knew he would think then that Jane was currently in her lover’s arms, being held, touched, and the worst of it all was- that lover wasn’t Nathan.Instead of letting the sudden pang of hurt he felt consume him, he deepened the kiss with Lisa, pulling her even closer so there wasn’t an atom of space between them. Hands roaming her grabbed her ass and pulled her up to him.Lisa wasn’t one to complain if she was being kissed like this. She knew that she wasn’t who he wanted to be with, but she was the one he came back to and that was all that mattered.When she had flown to the resort for the weekend while sporting a fresh heartbreak she didn’t think she’ll see someone as hot as the man currently groping her.And the icing on the cake? He looked exactly like her Lucas. When she had seen thos
Her words hammered in his head and heart. Lisa could be right that he was scared of his feelings, maybe deep down he really feared that it would end up destroying them both because he had the ability of blowing things out of proportion.“I guess you can say that,” he admitted which surprised them both. “I’m afraid that I’ll let my feelings take over and ruin us both like I previously did. I think it’ll always be a constant fear, especially with that nagging voice at one corner of my mind.”Lisa wanted to chastise him. Did he not see the great guy that she currently saw in front of her.She wished she could throw him up and let him fall head first to the floor if that is what it will take for him to realize how precious he truly was.Taking his hand she squeezed it. “I’ve not know you a long time so I’ll understand if you don’t trust my judgement but all I can say is this, you’re awesome Nathan, you’re hot. And to top it all you’re a good person. It might not seem like that to you at t
