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
The pasta was perfect. It wasn’t too soft in the mouth and it wasn’t hard either. It was the perfect texture, melting in her mouth like cheese under the hot sun. Perfectly.Lucas had taken her on many dates but he never paid attention to her like Nathan was doing at the moment.It was like being with an upgraded version of him. A more caring, more loving, version of Lucas. It was a dream come true for Lisa. “Are you enjoying your meal?” She asked him despite her attempt to hold herself back. The need to hear him talk even if it was over something so vain as their meal overrode her senses.Nathan considered the pasta he was chewing momentarily before answering. “It’s actually not bad. I’ll have to admit that you made a good choice, I can guarantee you I would have chosen something so vile you would have thrown up at first bite if you had left the choice up to me.”“I guess it’s a good thing you have me then. I’ll take it upon myself to make you have a favorite food before we have to le
Two broken hearts stared into the night, their body numb and broken to the wind. Lisa watched Nathan as he stared into the dark. His feelings for Jane ran much deeper than she thought possible.Of course this was often the case with most men like Nathan. They seldom loved but when the eventually did, it would be with all their heart and soul. It would be so intense that it ended up destroying them as with the case of the man in front of her.Still, she couldn’t give up hope for him. He was hers first, he was her Lucas more than he was Nathan for Jane. With careful steps she moved to him, putting her arm him to try and comfort him but he pulled away and instead looked at her with the scariest expression she has ever seen. “Nathan…” she tried to reach him again but he pulled away, groaning in the process. “I’ll like to be alone,” he said, his voice barely recognizable. Lisa’s heart broke for him. “At least let me help you back to your room,” she said. But he was far gone beyond reas
The night had gone in a blur with Lisa taking care of Nathan’s wounds and them sleeping off on that same couch. Nathan was the first to wake up. He tried not to grit his teeth in pain when he tried to move, his entire body hurt so bad. Jonas had a mean punch, he would give him that much.What stole his attention wasn’t the sunlight flooding into the room. It was the woman lying beside him that the light rays had rested on.The made her pale skin glitter like it was something out of this world. Which she entirely was. Nathan was slowly becoming aware of this feeling that was creeping slowly into his heart and he didn’t have the courage to stop it. He traced the little space between her eyebrows, watching how it slopes slightly giving her face a heart shape. His mind went back to the number that had called him. If his suspicions were right then it meant his clone could possible be out of jail which would be terrible news. What if the person watching Lisa was him?No, it couldn’t be.
By the time I make it into the building I’m sweating profusely, and my hair is sticking to my forehead. But that’s not the worse part of my morning. Don was standing at my desk the moment I stepped out of the elevator and his expression was not pretty. I could tell how angry he was from his stiff shoulders and stoic expression, not like I expected anything less from him. I walked quietly towards him, bracing myself for whatever he was going to throw at me and he literally threw something at me. A jot pad. “Why are you late?” he sneered the moment that I got closer, his hands clenching into fists at his side and then unclenching again. It was like he was trying to calm himself down for both our sakes and that sent a tremor through my entire body. My head couldn’t come up with an answer, so I blurted out the first thing that came to mind “I woke up late!” I was closer now and could easily see how his eyes turned to slits as if warning me not to implic
