Chapter 16 – Let Me Show You Around

last update Last Updated: 2025-02-18 07:28:31

Nathan’s POV

Amelie should be here any minute. It has been over six hours since I saw her this morning, and it seems like an eternity. To say she has consumed me is an understatement. She is constantly on my mind, and I’m finding myself not caring about anything else. Once she is here, everything will be better.

I wander out of my office and into the reception area. Samira gives me a curious look.

“Is there something you need, Dr. Michaels?” she smiles.

“No, thank you, Samira, just stretching my legs,” I reply.

Samira looks at me and smirks, “Is that so? It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that a certain Ms. Cavanaugh is coming in today?”

Am I that obvious? “What do you mean?” I look at her, stunned.

“Can I speak candidly as your friend, not your secretary?” Samira asks.

“Please do,” I respond.

“Nathan, you have feelings for the girl, right?” I nod, “So don’t fuck it up. She’s a lovely girl and deserves everything in this world.”

I smile at Samira. She has been the best secr

    Nathan’s POVI saw Amelie standing near the cafeteria entrance with Helen and Simon. I’m unsure what they were talking about, but she had a beautiful smile. Helen and Simon left her to go towards the elevator, and I noticed her heading to the cafeteria counter.“Excuse me, gentlemen,” I uttered to some VIPs sitting with me in the cafeteria. I need to check on something.”I walked over to Amelie and stood behind her. It took everything in my power not to wrap my arms around her in a hug from behind. As if sensing me, she turned around quickly.“Nathan,” she whispered.“Amelie, how is your day going so far?” I asked.“Everything is fantastic, and everyone is so friendly and helpful,” she smiled.“We try our hardest to make everyone’s job enjoyable so they never want to leave,” he replied.“I can see that. Ummmm… thank you for the salary. I wasn’t expecting it. It’s far too generous since I’m getting contest money, too.” She said bashfully.“Don’t mention it, you deserve it, Amelie. You

    Amelie’s POVWe make it to the hospital in record time. Nathan swipes his card into the VIP parking lot.“Special parking, impressive,” I joke.“Well, when you donate a wing to the hospital, you tend to get a few perks,” he winks. “An entire wing?” I look at him wide-eyed.“We, as a company, believe in supporting the community. We give back 10% of our profits to charitable endeavors,” Nathan proudly stated.“That’s incredible! Such an amazing thing,” I beamed at him.I think I saw him blush. It was the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen.After parking, we head towards the hospital's front doors.“I need to stop at the café,” Nathan says, “My grandfather doesn’t let me in his room without a coffee. It’s our thing.”“That’s so sweet,” I touched his arm instinctively as a sign of endearment. Oh my god, did I just feel him?Nathan looks down at me. His sexy grey eyes pierce my soul as he looks into my eyes. Shit…I’m still holding his arm. I quickly pull back my arm.He smirks, “Are you f

    Amelie’s POVI walk into Zander’s room, and he’s typing away on his laptop with a stern look of concentration.“Why the big scowl, Zander?”He looks up from the screen and scrunches up his face. “Laid up in the stupid hospital, I still have to learn about Othello.”I laugh at him as I ruffle his hair. I’m so glad his teachers let him take his courses online until the new year. I still don’t know how I will pay off the surgery bill, but Dr. Carrera told me the $10,000 deposit shows good faith. He would take it to the hospital board to get approval to proceed with the surgery and then work out the payment plan. He said we would know the first week of December.I can’t believe it's almost December. Soon, it will be Christmas and then New Year's. I sure hope the board approves everything. I can’t wait to have Zander back home.I sit and help Zander with his homework for 30 minutes before the nurse advises that visiting hours are almost over. It makes my heart ache to leave him here every

    Nathan’s POVAmelie is speechless. Her eyes dart around, not knowing what to look at first. She seems overwhelmed.“You seem frazzled, Amelie,” I say, trying to catch her attention.“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a place this extravagant,” she looked around in wonder.And then she saw it, the reason I had picked this place. “The view!” she gasped. “I can’t believe the view!” She ran to the windows. All of Central Park was laid out in front of us. All the twinkling lights and beauty of New York were on display, but it all paled compared to Amelie standing there. Her wide-eyed innocence, captivated by the view, was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.Amelie’s stomach growled, and I couldn’t help but chuckle. “We better feed you before the beast is unleashed.” Amelie turns towards me and gives me a little push, “Hey, stop making fun of my tummy,” she jokes.I lead her into the kitchen, where half a dozen take-out containers are on the counter. “Henrique got an assortment of Mexi

    Amelie’s POVAs soon as Nathan leaves the room, I head to the ensuite. OMG…this bathroom is HUGE, and look at that bathtub. I think it can fit at least four people! I searched through the bathroom drawers and cabinets and found a bottle of expensive bubble bath. Mission number 1…a bath! I start running the water in the tub and pour in the bubble bath. I inhale deeply. It smells like lilies, my favorite. I strip out of my clothes, setting them aside neatly. I have nothing to wear, so I will have to make do with these clothes tomorrow morning until we can go shopping. I’ll just have to go commando underneath them. I remember that I had a hair elastic in my messenger bag to tie my hair up in the tub. I drape the robe around myself loosely and head out to the bed to search for my bag. I take three steps outside the bathroom and realize Nathan has just walked in.“Oh my god, Amelie,” he blurts out, turning away, “I’m so sorry. I knocked, and there was no answer. I thought you were in the

    Nathan’s POVI hardly slept last night. I kept wanting to reach out to Amelie and apologize profusely, but I couldn’t get the image of her out of my head. That’s all she needed was for me to show up at her door with a raging hard-on. I got up, pulled on jeans and a black T-shirt, and headed downstairs. Amelie is sitting on the couch, flipping through one of the magazines taken off my coffee table. She’s dressed in my t-shirt and sweats and has her hair up in a messy bun. She looks hot as fuck.“Morning, Amelie,” I said, smiling.“Morning, Nathan,” she answered back.“Did you sleep well?” I questioned.“I kind of had a hard time sleeping last night,” she sighed.“Look, I’m very sorry for walking in on you….” I rub the back of my neck.“Don’t worry about it,” she replied. “Accidents happen, don’t stress yourself about it.”I let out a sigh of relief. “I just don’t want it to be weird between us.”“Already forgotten,” she smiled.No, it's not already forgotten. It’s burned into my brain

    Nathan’s POVI called Marcus to come and pick us up from the diner. I didn’t want to risk more paparazzi hanging around the building. Amelie had never been exposed to them, and I didn’t want to scare her away before I had a chance with her.Marcus drove us up to Fifth Avenue to shop for Amelie. We stopped in front of one of the boutiques and hopped out.“I kind of feel out of place,” Amelie said. "I’m not dressed right.”“First, we’ll get you an outfit you can wear for the rest of the day,” I smiled.“I feel like I’m having a Pretty Woman moment,” Amelie said.“Not Pretty, Gorgeous, Amelie,” I stated.We head into the boutique, and two ladies approach us. The tall brunette looks at me and says, “Welcome, Dr. Michaels. What brings you in today?”“We need to outfit Ms. Cavanaugh with a full wardrobe,” I demand.“Nathan,” Amelie looks puzzled, “I only need a couple of days of clothes.”“Nonsense,” I smirk at her, “Ladies, a full wardrobe.”“Of course, sir,” the other lady chimes. “Ms. Ca

I enjoy Nathan’s company. He’s so easy to be around. I feel so safe with him.My phone rings, “Hello?”“Oh hi, Mr. Vincent…. What...I see. How is this possible? Uh-huh… What am I supposed to do? Ok…I guess there is no choice. Ok, bye.” I sigh and drop my shoulders.“What’s wrong, Amelie?” Nathan queries.“I’m homeless,” I cover my face. This can’t be happening! I can’t look for a new apartment now. Zander is in the hospital, and my job, school, student position, and finals are less than a week away. “When they came to spray for the cockroaches, they found structural damage to the building. It’s been condemned.”“Oh Amelie, I’m so sorry,” Nathan sympathized, “but you’re not homeless. You, and Zander, for that matter, can stay here as long as you need.”“I couldn’t put you out like that, Nathan.”“You’re not pu

Please don’t wake me if I’m dreaming.“Can we go to the beach?” I asked Nathan.“Absolutely!” He replied.We got changed and headed down to the beach. Nathan rented a small cabana with two loungers.“I can’t wait to put my feet in the ocean,” I squealed.“Wait, have you never done that before?” Nathan asked.“No, never,” I answered.“I need to take a picture then,” Nathan said, grinning. He grabbed his phone and put it in a waterproof pouch. “Now, we can take pictures in the water.”We walked down to the water, and Nathan stood there with his camera ready.“This is so exciting!” I beamed. I walked into the water up to my knees. I swear I had the biggest grin on my face.“Amelie, the wate

    Amelie’s POVI can’t believe I’m in Hawaii! I have dreamed about coming here since I was a little girl. My parents had their honeymoon here, and my dad would tell me stories of all the fun and exciting things they did. It didn’t matter how many times he told me the same story; I would listen intently and be amazed by it each time. My dad would always tell me the best part of Hawaii was the people. I couldn’t wait to meet people and share in the Aloha spirit.The drive to the hotel was relatively quick, although it could have been hours, and I wouldn’t mind. I stared wide-eyed out the window, taking in the landscape. I know it was mostly traffic and concrete on the highway, but it didn’t matter. The closer we got to the hotel, the more the landscape changed. Palm trees and a glimpse of the ocean had me mesmerized.“We’re here, Amelie,” Nathan announced.The door opened, and Nathan stepped out.

    Amelie’s POVI officially can’t walk. I’ve heard people in school joke about being fucked into oblivion, but I think I actually was on the receiving end of it. Nathan was so animalistic. He was a man possessed. It was like he had a disease, and I was the cure. Five rounds in two hours. How is that even possible? Don’t get me wrong, he didn’t hurt me; he just exhausted me, and I literally saw the stars he promised.I’m currently lying in bed with him wrapped around me, kissing my shoulder.“I will never, ever get enough of you, Amelie,” Nathan exclaimed. “Your presence, your body, your soul. It feeds me. I feel like I could conquer anything when you’re with me.”“I feel like I will never walk again,” I giggled.“I will carry you everywhere, then,” he said, hugging me tightly.“That’s good to know,” I said, smiling.“We shou

    Nathan’s POVIt’s 7:00 am, and I’m sitting on the couch enjoying a cup of coffee. Amelie is passed right out in the bed. After some shower sex last night, I kept my promise of devouring her, and she hasn’t moved since. The box that Kimmy sent her sits on the coffee table, unopened. We noticed last night, after the “fireworks,” that Kimmy had also sent us champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. We were so caught up in each other when we first entered the room that we didn’t notice them on the coffee table.Our flight isn’t until 11:00 a.m. this morning, but I got up to take care of a couple of things for the honeymoon. I want to make this the best experience of Amelie’s life. I want to give her everything.I’m staring out the window when I feel a warm set of arms wrap around me.“Good morning, hubby,” Amelie sighed.“Good morning, wifey,” I grinned. I thought y

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a personal concierge that Nathan had hired to give us a VIP tour of the park, along with a photographer to accompany us.“But first,” Nathan said, grinning. “You need something special.”“What?” I asked.“These,” he stated, and handed me a bag.I opened it and squealed. “These are the Vera Wang wedding mouse ears!” I cried. I jumped up and hugged Nathan tightly.I had seen them in a magazine. I knew they were a hefty price.“And I guess I should put mine on,” Nathan smirked, pulling out the groom's ears, which were a baseball-style cap with ears and a bow tie.“Look at my handsome groom,” I said, smiling.“Look at my beautiful bride,&rd

    Amelie’s POVI had the best sleep ever in our bed as a married couple. It makes me giddy just thinking that is the way it is now. I feel like I need to pinch myself to see if it’s real. Unfortunately, the alarm clock that rang bright and early due to our early flight time proved to me I wasn’t dreaming. In fact, it wasn’t even bright. It felt like the middle of the night because the sun wasn't up yet.Nathan’s arms weren’t around me when I woke up. The room was still dark. I got up and headed to the bathroom. He wasn’t in there either. He must have gotten up early to finish some work in the den, I thought to myself. I hopped in the shower and then got dressed in a sundress and some wedge sandals. The only clue Nathan had given me the night before was to dress for comfort and a warm destination. Hence, the sundress in New York, in the middle of winter.I quickly blow-dried my hair, brushed my teeth, and appl

It’s been less than 24 hours since we declared our love for each other, and I already think we have an unbreakable bond. I know that sounds unbelievable, but I’m getting rid of the contract.We arrived home and took the elevator up to our floor. I punch in the code and then lift Amelie bridal style.“Welcome home, Mrs. Michaels,” I stated.“Nathan,” she giggled.“Another threshold. The start of our new life in our home,” I said with a grin.“Nathan, that’s a sweet thing to say,” Amelie said, smiling.“It’s the truth,” I said as I walked through the door.Amelie gasped. There were white lilies all over the penthouse.“Did you do this?” Amelie asked.“No, it wasn’t me,” I responded.I place Am

I promise, Amelie,” Grandfather informed her. “Go have a great trip with your new husband.”“Okay,” Amelie sighed, then turned her attention to Biscuit, who was in Morgan’s arms. “Are you sure you’re ok taking Biscuit for a week?”“Yes, I w

To be as close to her as humanly possible.Now, I have to get through dinner with my family and friends before I get to take her home.“You need to stop attacking me in unusual places,” Amelie giggled.“I didn’t hear you protesting against it,” I chuckled.Amelie went to say something, then paused.“That’s what I thought, kitten,” I smirked.“You are annoying when you gloat,” Amelie teased.“I’ll gloat all over you, angel,” I laughed.“Baby!” Amelie squealed.I just laughed, picked her up, and twirled her around.“You make me so happy, A
