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
Lisa was the first to wake up, and out of sheer habit she placed a kiss on Nathan’s cheek and stood up for a stretch. Now that the alcohol in her system was long gone her head was clearer now.She had spent the night with a stranger that looked exactly like her ex lover. The thought alone should make her sick but instead she revved in the joy it gave her. She had somehow gotten her lover back even if it wasn’t the exact one that she had met in the beginning.All that didn’t matter if they made her feel the same. She chuckled silently to herself as she began to pick up their glasses and empty bottle of wine. It must be the afterglow of their night together that had her light on her feet, or she could blame it on the remnants of wine that was probably still on her system. “This vacation might be the best thing yet,” she muttered to herself as she rinsed off the glasses. She picked their clothes off the floor and was about dumping them in the laundry bag when the doorbell rang. Maki
Breakfast was supposed to be a private affair with everyone he cared about, but as Damien saw the plus one hanging off Nathan’s arm he knew there was bound to be trouble.Despite Lauren’s warning to stay off their situation Damien didn’t want to stay at the sidelines and watch his best friend ruin a relationship that was bound form between him and Jane.It was easy to deny his feelings but Damien knew better for he had been in those shoes before. The way Nathan had sprang off when Jane joined them on the beach with her brother. Nathan was clearly losing his touch if he couldn’t see that Jane was only trying to make him jealous whilst using her brother, it was epic fail because anyone looking close enough could sense the sibling bond between them. They acted nothin like lovers.Damien blamed Nathan’s lack of judgement on his feelings, he was often too blinded by it.It hurt to leave the smile on his face plastered there but he managed anyway. “Hello dear,” he said and shook Lisa’s ha
It was a moment of silence for the both men. It allowed them to realize so much things had been left unsaid between them which had ultimately led to the havoc that had brewed between them. Damien regretted it deeply that he hadn’t realized how Nathan had felt for Lauren earlier. If he had he might have backed off and let him have an equal chance with her.But looking at her and Harry from the corner of his eye he realized he wouldn’t give them up now, not for anyone or anything. “You should have talked to me about it,” he said to Nathan. “That you loved Lauren, you should have told me.”A humorless laughter falls from Nathan’s lips. “Let’s be honest Damien, you would have punched me straight in the face. The words will barely be out of my mouth before you’ll punch them back in.”“I don’t think I was terrible,” Damien said. “I promise I would have understood,” he insisted.“Not with the way you loved her, you were totally smitten. I’m not sure you would have let me see another name.”
Everything had seemed easy to do. Make Jane jealous and have her running back to him, if only he knew things never went as simply as that. It wasn’t a walk in the park.No, it wasn’t that he didn’t like Lisa, he had liked her enough to spend the night with her. That was where their relationship should have stopped.But it obviously hasn’t. She had followed him back to his room after Jane had left the pool side with Jonas much to Nathan’s disappointment. He had been sure her contact with Lisa had bothered her but she had left with not a single bother on her face and it worried him.Now he was stuck with Lisa who was currently going over her idea on how to make Jane jealous and ultimately win her back.“I’m telling you she was ready to rip my head off,” Lisa continued, oblivious to the turmoil that was currently making its way to the pit of Nathan’s stomach. “A little move shove and she’ll be falling straight back into your arms. You just have to make sure you don’t fuck it up then.” Li
Lisa could breathe out in relief now that Jane was gone. And if she read the look on her face correctly, Jane wouldn’t be coming back at all. It was annoying that Nathan kept staring even as she disappeared down the hallway way, still rooted to the very spot she had left him in. “Why do I feel like I lost the game even before it began?” Nathan muttered to himself. But that wasn’t what concerned Lisa, if her assumption was right then she had already warn this game between her and Jenny.The girl was heartbroken, Lisa saw that much. She could only hope that it was deep enough for her not to come around anymore.Mine. She put an arm on his chest but Nathan was too worried about Jane to think anything of it. He stared in the space she once stood.“Do you think I should go after her? She must have wanted to talk about us.” Nathan turned slightly to Lisa, who to him seemed like she was some sort of relationship expert.Nathan has never dated, his only relationship if he could call it that
It was a very long time since Nathan had a peaceful sleep where he wasn’t being chase by an unknown man or his clones that had gone out of control. He exhaled deeply and snuggled closer to Lisa whose arms were tightly holding onto him. Like she was afraid he’d slip out before she would wake up. Truth was that he wasn’t ready to go yet. He was afraid that once his eyes opened he would be thrust back into his not so appealing reality.So he waited, kept his eyes shut and tried to match his breathing with Lisa’s. It gave him something to do until she woke up. When he could no longer bear it his eyes slipped open. The first thing he saw was Lisa’s piercing eyes as she lifted them to him. Talk about being I’m sync with one another. He watched her instead of speaking. He needed to know what she felt about what they just shared and how much of it he was willing to admit himself.If she wanted them to put it behind them then he wouldn’t object, beside they didn’t know much about one anothe
