LOGINVERONICA’S POV š
–
“You’ll pay for this when you come back. I’ll make sure you’re totally exhausted in bed,” I purred to Calix across the line.
[“Oh, Hon. I can hardly wait for what you’ve threatened to do. Make sure you’ve got all your strength though, because I’ll be exhausting you just as much, between the sheets.”]
I couldn’t help but smile. “H
NATHALIE’S POV š–“Nathalie?!” Calix blurted out in surprise the moment he laid eyes on me.I forced a smile but I could feel my lips and hands trembling.“You’ve been there since earlier?” he asked, concerned.I shook my head.“How long have you been here?”I looked at the trashbag he was holding. “Let me take the trash out.”“I’ll take care of it, I already have a mask anyway. Xander’s napping in the living area.”I didn’t argue anymore, the important thing was I wouldn’t see him for about five minutes.“I’ll toss this out.”I signaled with a nod.He smiled at me then left.As soon as the door closed, I silently burst into tears.I heard the entire conversation between him and Veronica. The longing he felt for her
VERONICA’S POV š–“You’ll pay for this when you come back. I’ll make sure you’re totally exhausted in bed,” I purred to Calix across the line.[“Oh, Hon. I can hardly wait for what you’ve threatened to do. Make sure you’ve got all your strength though, because I’ll be exhausting you just as much, between the sheets.”]I couldn’t help but smile. “Hon, I have to hang up. I have something else to do. I love you so so much.”[“I love you so much more, Veronica.”]“Bye, Hon. I love you.” I said in the softest tone.[“I love you too, Veronica.”]After hearing that, I hung up the call.I put my phone down on the table.“There must be so many ants around because you two are so sweet.” Rowena commented teasingly.“Jealous much?”
NATHALIE’S POV š–“Too good to be true?” I asked.“All of a sudden, I started having second thoughts about him,” Avery remarked. “Something just doesn’t feel right about it.”“Which one?”“Tyler’s too perfect.”“Isn’t that great?”“Not really, but sure, why not? You never know, he could be hiding some real motive.”“Like what?”She shrugged her shoulder.“Your mind is going everywhere, Ave. Isn’t it possible there could still be someone like Ty?”“Woaah! Defending the fiancée!”“He’s not my fiancée.”“So, does that mean you don’t plan on marrying Tyler?”“I don’t have time to think about that for now.”“Okay, whatever you say! But promise you’ll
NATHALIE’S POV š–“Nathalie! Nathalie!” Avery called me in sheer excitement, bouncing right out of her seat. “You know, the part I loved most of what you told her was–”She paused in her speech.She straightened her back and imitated my words, “Why not just get someone to listen to you for a price?”She clapped her hands in delight. “That line of yours is winner.”I smiled at Avery’s reaction. It felt like I had done something right.“But in all seriousness,” she spoke earnestly. “You should be proud of what you did. You should’ve gone one step further and slapped that woman. Why didn’t you give her a slap?”“I don’t want to make that conversation bigger and longer — if it can be called a conversation.”“Makes sense, you’ve got a point. F
NATHALIE’S POV š–I averted my eyes from Veronica.“She’s coming here.” Avery whispered to me.“Oh, my goodness, Nathalie Davies. I’m nervous.” she whispered again. “What if you two fight?” she suddenly smiled. “Of course I’ll help you. I’ve got that person she’s with, that face looks like it was sprinkled with flour from wearing way too much foundation. Still, I’m really nervous.”I glared at her.“As for my unease, it’s more like I’ll be careful not to blurt out anything that shouldn’t be said,” she assured me. “But I’m the one nervous for you, Nathalie. “Just make sure you don’t do anything you shouldn’t do, alright?”“Nothing.” I whispered back.“Goodness! You’re not doing anything wrong, are you?” she asked again, with a hint
NATHALIE’S POV š–“I know what is right and what is wrong,” I told her to make sure and to put her mind at ease.“Truth be told, when you inlove with all your heart and let your heart lead the way, you often become unsure of what is right and what is wrong. So, this time, use your brain and not your heart.”“Do you have a boyfriend that you’re not telling me? Why do you know so much about these things?”“I don’t have a boyfriend. Simply put, I may not know a lot of things, but when it comes to love, I’m sharp and steady,” she stated proudly.I smiled at what she was saying. “Thank you for finding the time to visit me before you leave.”“Of course!” she replied cheerfully, smiling.But there seemed to be something else in her smile, a mixture of excitement and thrill.“Just wonder
