Arnold’s POV

I couldn’t put into words what I was feeling,what it meant to share something so precious with Eli. Every piece of my heart seemed to pulse with his every touch, his every word. And when he finally fell asleep in my arms… another kind of joy wrapped itself around me.

I still wasn’t sure what this meant for us, but I knew one thing, it felt like the beginning of something I’d want to hold on to forever, if possible.

Maybe I was being too poetic. Maybe, when he woke up, he’d call it a mistake, a one-time thing. The thought stung, but I refused to ruin it for myself before he even had a chance to speak.

When I woke up with my arms still around him, that alone made my entire day. I rubbed his hand gently and he stirred, a soft smile pulling at my lips. Carefully, I peeled the blanket off myself and sat up, scanning the floor for my shirt. I spotted it and reached over—only for his voice, low and sleepy, to cut through the silence.

  • Nightmare turned love    Definitely something

    Arnold’s POV After Aiden and Nova strolled off without so much as a word to me or Eli, we stuck to the golf course for a while. What else could we do? We kept at it until we were out of breath, then finally collapsed back at the table. “When do you think they’ll be back?” Eli asked, sipping his drink. I shrugged. “No idea. We’ll see them when we see them.” The last thing I wanted was to go looking for them and stumble onto… well, a compromising situation. Once or was it twice—was enough trauma for any man. “So we just sit here and watch rich people go about their business?” Eli scanned the place with a raised brow that screamed: Really? That’s the best you can come up with? I chuckled, eyes still on him. “Just think of this like a little date moment between us. Makes the waiting feel more meaningful.” A faint blush rose on his cheeks, and I couldn’t help but smile. I’d missed moments like this, normal, easy conversations with him. We needed more of them. “Could you even affor

  • Nightmare turned love    A lot

    Nova’s POV I walked hand in hand with Aiden down the hall without a word. We stayed quiet until we reached a door, and Aiden pushed it open slightly. “After you, ma’am,” he said with a smile, motioning for me to step in. I did, and he trailed behind me. The soft click of the door shutting filled the room. “Where exactly is this?” I asked, scanning the bare space. All that stood in the middle was a white couch, which complimented the gold walls. It was simple, but pretty. “It’s like… how do I put it?” he said, pulling me toward the couch. “It’s a private room for, you know, secret meetings. That’s why it’s so hidden. And since you wanted a quiet place to talk, what could be better?” His lips curved into a little smirk. I rolled my eyes at him before settling onto the couch. “So you have a private room in a private golf court?” I asked, raising a brow. He nodded with a smile. “They have lots of secrets,” he said softly. I drew a deep breath. Might as well ask what I came here t

  • Nightmare turned love    Quiet place

    Nova’s POV Throughout our little meal, I kept sneaking glances at Aiden. Outwardly, he looked like he was having a great time, smiling, laughing at the right moments but I could see it. The tightness behind his eyes, that shadow he couldn’t quite hide. It worried me, though I couldn’t pin down why. I tried to focus on the laughs instead, and the fact that I’d just met his mom. Still, my eyes wandered back to him, again and again. I shoved it down. I’d ask him when we finally got a private moment together. For now, we were supposed to be golfing. Or… getting golfing? Whatever. “Are you sure this is right?” Eli asked nervously, his whole body stiff while Arnold moved him into position like a marionette—hands on the club, back bent slightly, eyes locked on the hole in front of us. “I don’t think it’s right,” Aiden chimed in from beside me. “But have fun with it.” His small chuckle made me giggle too. Eli shot us both a glare before turning back to Arnold, who was practically glowi

  • Nightmare turned love    Fun thought

    Nova’s POVMe and Eli stood in front of the course while Arnold grabbed some clubs from Bob.I glanced around and, sure enough, everyone else seemed lost in their own world. Which was probably good,less attention on the kids who had absolutely no idea what they were doing.Bob started droning on about wedges and putters with Arnold, and I tuned him out almost immediately, turning to Eli instead.“How big do you think this whole place is?” I asked.He chuckled. “For sure bigger than what all three of our houses combined would add up to.”I laughed with him. “That’s the most fact-based thing you’ve said all morning.”He shot me a look, still smiling. “Nerves all gone now?” He squinted at me like he could see through every layer.I gave a soft nod, and he grinned. “Don’t stress it, love. I’m sure his parents will love you. And frankly, if they don’t? Then they need to get their eyes checked—assuming they don’t already wear glasses.”That made me laugh again. Honestly, there was no way to

  • Nightmare turned love    Going right

    Aiden’s POV I didn’t want to leave Nova alone for even a second, but of course, my parents had other plans. Today of all days, they decided it was the perfect time to meet with some business partners. Impeccable timing, really. As I made my way to their office, I couldn’t stop smiling, though. I kept picturing Nova’s eyes lighting up when we walked in here earlier—how focused she got on the simplest things. She was adorable like that, and I couldn’t help but grin every time. By the time I reached their office, I took a deep breath, knocked softly, and twisted the door handle. Let’s just get this over with so I can get back to Nova, I muttered to myself before plastering on my best fake smile. “Oh, you must be Aiden!” a high-pitched voice rang out as a middle-aged woman appeared, all smiles. “There you are, son,” my dad said as I stepped inside. My eyes flicked over the room, my mom, my dad, a man who had to be the woman’s husband, and… a girl about my age. Shit this was just g

  • Nightmare turned love    Just people

    Nova’s POV The inside of the building was even more breathtaking than the outside. Fancy chandeliers sparkled from every corner, like the place was competing with the sun itself. I wasn’t the only one gawking, Eli’s wide eyes mirrored mine as we both tried to take everything in. After a while, we stopped in front of a neat row of golf carts. Aiden placed a hand on one, motioning toward a worker who hurried over with a bow and a practiced smile. “Welcome, Mr. Aiden,” the man said warmly. Aiden gave him a nod. “We’re heading to the private court with the café. This one available?” he asked, tapping the four-seater cart. “Of course,” the man replied smoothly. “I’ll have someone drive you right away.” Eli leaned closer, voice low. “Everyone here is smiling. Like… too much.” I followed his gaze. He wasn’t wrong every worker we passed had the same polished smile, the same effortless movements. The people climbing into carts looked like their lives were perfectly put together—expensi
