I cannot believe that Linnea did this! I’m aware of what I made her go through, but not once have I expected her to slice three of my tires. I was just messing around with her. I didn’t expect her to get this mad over a stupid prank like the one I pulled on her. Maybe I shouldn’t have underestimated her anger.
I didn’t even know that she sliced the tires until Asher told me. He came over a while after she left, and the first thing he said was “Dude, what happened to the Ferrari’s tires?” I hurried to the garage to understand what he was talking about, and I found three of the tires flat on the ground with giant slashes in them.
“She’s such a badass, I would marry someone like her!” Asher, my best friend, laughs when I tell him about what she has done. After getting over the Ferrari incident and calling my driver to bring me tires, Asher and I decide to spend the day playing video games. “Honestly man, you deserve it. The poor girl was enjoying her day by the pool, an
First chapter in Nathan's point of view! Did you like it? Also, what do you think the other reason is behind their marriage? I wanna know your thoughts! Published on December 8th, 2021
It’s been a month since I became Mrs. Rodriguez. Going back to work is a blessing because I spend a lot of time away from Nathan. We became masters at the art of avoiding one another. I am not sure if this is the right thing to do or not, but at least when we avoid each other, no screaming takes place. It's been one hell of an exhausting day that I can barely see two meters in front of me. I don’t even know how I managed to drive myself here. By the way it seems, Nathan isn’t in the garage. Nobody is home. Carole seems to have left a while ago, but there's food waiting for me on the kitchen island covered with polyethylene transparent stretch. I remove the stretch and place the plate inside the microwave. Once It is hot enough, I go to the living room. I don't even have the energy to go to my bedroom. I put on some random tv show as I enjoy the meal before me. Carole is an amazing cook. Had it not been for her, I would have probably starved to death or lived on noodl
It's been a week since Nathan showed me he could be a really good man. I barely saw him, but during the first two days of my period, he checked on me twice a day. He went on a business trip yesterday, so I decided to spend the five days he will spend away at my parents’ place. “So how is everything with Nathan?” Henry wonders as the two of us watch tv together while eating popcorn. “He pranked me once, I got my revenge,” I say, shoving a handful of popcorn in my mouth. “Really? What did he do?” My brother looks amused. “He put laxative in a drink he made me.” I role my eyes as I remember what he did to me. “And what did you do?” “Slashed three tires of his Ferrari,” I smirk. I notice how my brother’s jaw dropped. “What?” “What are you? Satan?” he says in disbelief. “This car is Nathan's baby! I'm glad you're alive,” he chuckles. “Chill. I slashed the tires. I didn't key the car. I made sure the damage is repairable.” I
“Len, please wake up,” I hear somebody's desperate voice as a constant shake disturbs my sleep. What time is it? I tiredly open my eyes and turn around. It take me a second to make out who has just woken me. Nathan is standing in front of me, clutching his laptop in his arms like his whole life depends on it. Not once in my life have I seen Nathan with this expression. Anxiety is written all over his face. “What happened?” I worriedly ask as I sit up. I look at the digital clock beside me and rub my eyes. One in the morning. There must be a good reason for Nathan to wake me up at this unforgiving hour. He came back from Canada about a week ago and ever since his return, he has been super busy. I barely see him. “Sorry for waking you up in the middle of the night, but I need your help. My laptop won't turn on and it has the layouts of a very important project and I stupidly didn't make a backup. I know I know I should've been more careful. Who doesn't b
I dismissed Carole at five today. I came back home around two and after working on a project for a while, I turned off my laptop. The deadline is in ten days, and I'm almost done with it. As I take a walk in the backyard, Nathan's words ring through my ears. He thinks I'm smart. He was so nice to me last night that I almost had a whiplash. He doesn't think that being a nerd is a bad thing… the way he put it makes me think of myself as nothing but a genius. Was he only nice to me because I fixed his laptop? I shake my head and make my way inside. I need to stop thinking about Nathan. Dinner is already cooked, but I find myself waiting for Nathan. I'm used to eating alone, but I also want to know how it all went today with him and maybe we can talk about this new project while having dinner together. I'm genuinely hoping that he was able to secure the deal today. I debated calling him earlier, but I chickened out. I'm not used to this. I have never called Nathan's phon
Getting drunk on Tuesday night was not a good decision. Here I am paying the price on Wednesday morning. It feels like somebody is firmly gripping my hair and banging my head against the wall. I’m not going to work today. How the hell am I supposed to go when I’m in this state? With the little power I have in my body, I push myself up and luckily, I find Advil and water on my nightstand. Who put them there? Did Linnea do that? Shit… Linnea. I messed up yesterday and I don’t know how to apologise. No way in hell I am going to tell her why I acted the way I did. I won’t give myself out like that. But no matter what I say, nothing may seem logical to her. She was super nice, asking me about the deal and waiting for me so we can have dinner together and I ended up yelling at her. I hope I didn’t say anything about our marriage. Did I mention the reason she doesn't know? I don’t know how I'm going to fix this if she finds out. I can't let something like th
I almost brought my guards down before Nathan. I’m hoping he didn’t notice how teary my eyes got. I’m not going to allow any other person to treat me the way I have once been treated in. I’m not going to let anybody make me question my self-esteem. It took me a while to build up my confidence and I won’t let anyone bring it to the ground. Work is going to distract me from any negative thoughts. I need to finish the project I’m currently working on. I put on some music and open my laptop. Although I want to specialise in security software programming, I tend to accept easy projects from time to time, because I still need experience on various fields. I’m currently working on developing a website for a startup; an easy task compared to many things I have done before, but as long as it brings me money, why don't I experiment with other topics? I don’t know how long I have been working, but the ache in my back tells me that I need to take a break. I stretch my ar
Nathan’s birthday is in five days, and I want to celebrate this occasion with him; however, neither do I know if he likes big or small gatherings, nor do I know what to get him. During the past few weeks, Nathan and I have grown closer and I’m enjoying this new friendship with him. However, we don't get close enough to know anything special about him. I do know he loves horror movies, navy is his favourite shade of blue, he loves his job so much and he's a huge fan of Imagine Dragon, yet all of this isn't enough to know what to give him.I never thought I would be able to get along with Nathan, but apparently we have a lot of things in common. I too like Imagine Dragons. We both like Italian food and horror movies. Also the two of us would rather eat caramelised popcorn than the salty one. Oh, neither of us enjoy soda drinks!I want to get him something special, but he has everything. A watch would be pointless. He has thousands of them. He probably doesn’t need cologne or perfumes. I’
“Wake up birthday boy!” I jump on Nathan’s bed. Today is his birthday and I’ve got it all planned. I’m going to make his twenty-eighth birthday a memorable one. I’m a huge fan of Nathan’s room. I usually find beige and brown a boring combination that people resort to when they want to play it safe in interior designing, but Nathan’s interior designing is a genius. With the perfect lighting behind the bed, the café coloured detailed wallpaper, and the matching carpet, everything looks great. I also love how the bed is placed against a wall built away from the main wall, making Nathan have access to his closet from both sides. “Why are you waking me up early on my birthday, Len?” His morning voice is husky and attractive. “Because today I’m going to prove to you that I’m the bestest friend you have ever had,” I proudly say, raising one arm dramatically in the air. He is still giving me his back, so he can’t see that I’m holding the fancy champagne bottle in my
