Twenty: Nathan
“I’m sorry.” Why is she apologizing?
“What— Oh my God, I’m such a moron. No, Linnea. I’m happy that we did it together. I wouldn’t change anything about that I swear. Please don’t feel bad about this,” I talk faster than lightning. I should have been more careful. My choice of words was terrible. “I wanted to do it with my girlfriend, but I got to do it with my wife. Don’t you think that this is one hell of an upgrade?” She went above and beyond to give me an unforgettable day and I made her feel bad about the whole thing. Couldn’t I just keep my mouth shut and give her any other excuse? I’m a fool.
“You can always go bungee jumping or ziplining with your girlfriend, right?” Is this girl for real? Is she trying to make me feel better because she took me skydiving? She’s the best companion I could ever ask for. No one is better than her. In anything. I will blindly follow this girl anywhere.

“Am I imagining or are you and Nathan getting close to each other?” I was sure Thalia wouldn't let such an opportunity go. “We became friends. Nothing more.” I try to act casual. My cousin may be my best friend, but I don't want to declare my feelings for Nathan to anyone because I'm not sure about them. I'm confused too. “Friends? Didn't you see what he did at the dinner table? He stood up for you against your mum. He embarrassed her that she ended up apologizing to you,” she exclaims, trying to keep her voice down. “He's just being a good friend,” I insist, bringing the birthday cake out of the box. “Believe what you want, but I'll give it less than two months. You and Nathan are going to be head over heels for one another. It's crystal clear that he likes you,” Zoey tells me and I laugh a little. Nathan would never like me. He told me before that there was nothing about me that he could ever like, so why would he suddenly like me? After get

After we're done, we go to the mall. Of course, Nathan won't go to normal stores. He takes me to a boutique mum usually forces me to visit whenever we have to attend an event where attention is needed; marvellous attention if I may say. I remember the number of times my mum fought with me for shopping at ‘average stores’, stating that people like us should not go cheap. I don't understand her mentality. If a dress, a blouse, or a skirt looks good, then why do I need to bother? Why do I always need to wear designer clothes? A lady comes to help me after I tell her about the style I want. Hiding how wide my hips are is important. “I don't understand why you're insisting on the same style. Why don't you try something new?” Nathan wonders as he checks the dresses I chose. I'm not going to tell him that I'm insecure about my hips. This will make me vulnerable in his eyes and I don't want to be viewed in that way. “They're comfortable,” I reason. “C

This day has been going well. Why should something or someone come out of the blue the way Chelsea has just done? I’m trying to build a good relationship with Linnea, hoping that I can later ask her out. Knowing Chelsea, she may mess up everything I have been trying to do in a matter of seconds. It took me months to get rid of her annoying ass. She may say anything in front of the girl I’m dying to win and destroy the blooming relationship I’m attempting to have with Linnea. “It’s been a while, Nathan. Where have you been?” She technically tackles me into a huge and my nostrils flare. I awkwardly wrap my arms around her for a couple of seconds, then I drop them. I internally cringe the moment she kisses my cheek and I dare to glance at Linnea, who happens to be watching in complete silence. In a moment like this, I wish I could read her thoughts. Part of me wishes that she’d be jealous, because if she’s jealous, this means she cares. “We should totally get ba

The two dresses are in front of me. My makeup is done and so is my hair, yet I don't know which dress I should put on. The choice between my comfort zone and a challenge I don't know if I'm ready to undergo is a hard one. A challenge that makes my knees wobble in fear. Even my heart thunders in my chest whenever my eyes fall on the burgundy masterpiece. The burgundy dress is flawless and I'm in love with it, but I don't think it's for me, yet the way Nathan looked at me when I had it on said otherwise. I don't know whom I should trust. My judgement is clouded and I'm running out of time. My mind takes me to the skydiving experience. I was a step away from not booking myself an appointment, then I almost chickened out when I was about to jump, but Nathan was there to convince me not to. Perhaps all I need is a little push. Maybe I have to take this step to try something new. Taking a deep breath, I pick the burgundy dress. Nathan is my friend now, a tru

“Where’s Linnea?” Henry wonders. Our parents left us at the table a while ago. “I don’t know,” I say, looking for her in the crowd. I’m now more attracted to this genius lady more than I ever was. She has built herself a great reputation over the years, but seeing how she gets praised whenever we meet somebody she has once worked with says more about her success. She’s way out of my league. Why would she even give me her attention? “Isn’t that Julian Whitlock she’s standing with?” Henry almost spits his drink upon hearing me. What’s wrong? “Fuck! That’s her ex,” he says and quickly turns to march towards them, but I stop him. “I’ve got this,” I say, taking one last sip of my champagne before marching towards them. She has never said anything about her ex and frankly, I don’t even remember his name, but I do remember something. One time my parents and I had a day out at the golf club with her family. As usual, I planned on annoying her, but Henry told me that

I’m dead tired. I want to throw my body on the bed and sleep for ten hours or more. It’s three in the morning and I can barely keep my eyes open. I can’t wait till I get home and take off my clothes. I just want to cuddle with my pillows. “You don’t look tired at all,” Nathan teases me and I let out a small laugh. “I don’t know how you manage to stay awake and full of energy after gatherings like this,” I tell him, turning my body a little to look at him. “I’m used to it,” he shrugs. “You never told me before that you worked for Elijah Kalligan before,” he tells me. “It never came up,” I say. “He taught me a lot, but I knew that if I really wanted to make my own money fast to start my company, I had to knock on the freelancing door,” I continue. “You’re getting ten million dollars when all of this is over, don’t you think you should take a rest?” Nathan suggests. Henry suggested the same thing too, but I can’t do that. I know that resting for

I hold her protectively in my arms even after she stops talking. Externally, I’m calm, but internally, I’m raging with fire. How did he dare to hurt her like that? How did he manage to hurt a beautiful person like her? If he wasn’t happy with her, he could have easily broken up with her, but he chose to torture her. That sick bastard! The way she literally threw herself in my arms when I offered says a lot about how hurt she is. She looks vulnerable in my arms and I feel special for how she is allowing me to see this side of her. That means she trusts me and I value this trust more than she can imagine. “Len,” I say and she hums, looking up at me. I love looking at her eyes. They’re a piece of art I have never seen before. So unique and mesmerizing. “When you took me to my room when I was drunk after our fight, was I mean to you in any way?” Upon remembering that night, fear throttled me. I didn’t want to be another addition to her trauma. She doesn’t deserve that. I
Marriage Contract: the Billionaire and I Twenty-eight
I'm good at go-karting, but Nathan let me win. He insisted that I was not easy to beat and I won by my efforts, yet I know that he was lying. Nathan is a good driver and from what I saw on the track, he went easy on me, too easy that it was very obvious. He didn't know this, but while we were on the track racing one another, I purposely left some spaces in order for him to pass me, yet he didn't. He chose to stay behind. Although Nathan was trying to be nice and cute, I felt like winning in that way wasn't fair and the competitive side of me decided to demand another match. He won. After we were done with go-karting, we had lunch; we stuffed our tummies with junk food until we couldn’t breathe. Deciding to enjoy our day to the max, we decided to go play air hockey and in that game, I managed to beat his ass. His ego prevented him from admitting that I won on my own and he said that he let me win, because he felt sorry for beating me at go-karting; we both know
