Chapter- 28
When Jorge is working on his assignments finally, putting Julia’s thoughts aside, he heard a car sound and he thought it might be Derek or Nick so he walked to the window to look at who it is.
Every weekend all of his cousins would come here or they will go to their house, but in the last two weekends Julia didn’t come here nor Jorge went to see her. In fact, she didn’t meet him after he rejected her, it’s quite clear that she avoided him as much as she could and he didn’t try much to talk with her and gave her the space she needed. But today, he’s expecting everyone including Julia to come here. He wants to see her yet he isn’t confident enough to meet her eyes.
As he guessed, it’s Nick when he saw from the window. Something in him told that Julia is there in the car. His heart throbbed loudly in that few seconds acquainting that he indeed wanted her to be here.
And again his guess was right, Julia got down from the car with a small smile
Chapter- 29“Mom, do you think I look good in this dress?” Naomi asks her mom who’s standing beside Naomi’s drawer.“You look wonderful, darling,” she said seeing her daughter in that violet-rose silky frilly gown. Naomi chose the simplest one because she doesn’t want to catch anyone’s special attention except Nick. She wanted to dress in his favorite color but she couldn’t find a simple dress in black and grey so she chose a dress for her taste. She just hopes he likes her.“You are perfect,” Ashley came near with a smile.“Thank you, you always chose the best dress for me,” Naomi said, “Can you close this zipper?”“Sure,” Ashley did what she asked to and went to pick the jewelry box she brought from her room.“Wear this pearl necklace for this evening,” Ashley opened the box and Naomi was surprised. That’s one of her mom&
It wasn’t bad as how Nick thought. He liked dancing with Naomi. She’s all smiling, blushing, and looked so happy than ever. This is enough for him to be happy as well. He’s so pleased to dance with the most beautiful girl in the entire hall, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her. He’s so crazily in love with her.When Magnus said that he’s leaving the hall to go to Eliot’s party, “let’s go, we are getting late for the party,” Nick said and Naomi nodded half-heartedly. She likes being here.Since Eliot’s parents weren’t at home, he invited his close friends and a few of his classmates to celebrate their end of school days. But more people have come and it was quite crowded.Magnus and Nick have bought some beer for the party and Naomi got surprised to see that.“Guys this isn’t good. If dad finds out then…” “We know, it’s not for
Chapter- 30 After meeting his class tutor, Jorge came out of his room. He went there to inform her that he won’t come tomorrow as he got a jiu-jitsu match to participate in. While he's on his way to his class, he saw Julia near her locker and she’s not alone which made Jorge frown. She’s talking to Martin who’s the same year as Jorge, the basketball captain and a popular guy among girls but Jorge doesn’t like him as he’s a big show-off. It’s clear that he doesn’t like her talking with him and also he doesn’t want her to talk to any other guy. He knew this is insane but he can’t stand to see her with any other guy. Jorge never really sees Julia as a girl he could date for all these days, but now his mind is kept thinking, why not? But still, he didn’t think much into that. After what happened between them, he’s quite impressed with her. He desires to get her attention, he wants her to talk with him and remain as best cousins like always. But now what’s
Chapter- 31Naomi got down from the car when Nickolas stopped it before his apartment building. She gazed at the huge-expensive penthouse building and it’s quite hard for her to see because it’s drizzling.This is a high-security building and guards were always around. Naomi heard a few celebrities were staying here too.“Come on, don’t stand in the rain,” he said putting his blazer on her head and dragged her with him, making Naomi smile.The chauffeur took his car to the parking lot.They went inside the elevator and Nick pressed the number 15.“Is your apartment on the fifteenth floor?” Naomi asks as she’s quite afraid of heights.“Yeah,” Nick nods. “I won’t let you near the windows, don’t worry,” he smiles.His test scores came two weeks before and just like he said he got great scores to get into this university which his U
Chapter- 32Naomi walked back to the building losing all the interest to go out. Nick followed her silently, he doesn’t want to create a scene in the lobby.In the elevator, Nick kept staring at her but she didn’t bat an eye at him and looked down the whole time.He tried to say something but he’s hesitant too. He not only exposed his other side, but he has also put their family secret at risk. Now she’ll ask a million questions about everything and he can’t say the answers until her father reveals. He clenched his teeth in frustration.Once they came to the house, Naomi sat down on the stairs. She doesn’t know what to ask him that much she’s shocked. Even the gun didn’t scare her but his uncontrollable rage to hurt someone scared her more.“Hey,” he touched her shoulders. Naomi moved away from his touch.“I can explain,” Nick said and kneeled before her. &ld
“Don’t look at me like that,” he said. Naomi shifted her gaze and biting her lower lip. Nick smiles to see the way she’s acting like a small girl.“Please, look at me,” Nick held her hand and kissed her knuckles. She gulped seeing his dark brown eyes, they were glimmering with the love for her. Her heart raced and she badly wanted to smile but before that, she has to talk. “You are so controlling, Nick,” she complained. She doesn’t want to hurt him but he had to know what he’s doing. “If you are in my place, you would have done the same,” he said and Naomi agreed to that. “Do you believe that I am a good person?” he asked. With this charming smile, innocent gaze, and sweet talk no one can dare to say that he’s a bad person. “Yes, I know you are a good person,” she nods with a smile. “Do you trust me?” “Yes, I trust you, Nick. But don’t you think I deserve an explanation for what happened there?” she asks. “I’ll t
Chapter- 33 The next day, Naomi walked straight to her father’s study room when Nick dropped her at her home. Today is Sunday and she thought he will be here. To her surprise he was there in the garden, watching the rain and nature sipping his coffee. More importantly, he’s alone. “Naomi,” he smiled when he saw her. But soon he sensed there’s something wrong seeing the look on her face. “Dad I want to talk to you,” she said. “Sure, what is it?” he asks and taps the seat beside her. “Come and sit here,” “It’s something important, dad,” she said. “Okay,” he nods. She was first hesitant but she can’t calm anymore. “Who are you?” she asks. He smiles, his ocean blue eyes filled with amusement. Nick didn’t get a chance to inform the matter to Vincent beforehand. “I am your father, Darling,” he chuckles. “I want real answers,” she said and that turned Vincent curious. “What do you want to know?” he asks.
Chapter- 34Jorge went to Julia’s class, he’s much excited this time and he doesn’t know why? But he only saw her bag there. He asked one of her classmates and she said Julia went with Martin.She’s with Martin, again? He frowned. That irritated him and the same time, anxious. He went onto search the places where they could be. Then he finally, found them near the basketball court.This is the third time, Jorge is seeing Julia with Martin and god knows how many times they met without him knowing. If Nick was here he wouldn’t let any guy near his sister and Jorge badly misses Nick.He could understand that she’s not purposely talking to Martin to get his attention. So he concluded that Julia has moved on from her feelings. He has no idea what’s going on between them but he’s so curious yet aloof to ask about it.He watched them from afar and Julia is facing her back to him so he couldn’t see her
