Alexia's POV. "Hurry up, Lara. You are keeping the driver waiting." I yelled hoping she would be able to hear my voice. I doubted if she would do. I have gotten lost like three times in his big mansion of hers and to think she lives alone. She walked out of the door swaying her hips in ways that should be illegal. How can she even walk like that with heels that are so high? "I am right here. Now get in the car and let's get this show on the road." She said before sitting in the passenger seat leaving the space beside Natalia for me. I took my seat and we set off immediately I closed the door. "Take a selfie and send it to Nathaniel. You look so hot right now." Lara said. Honestly, we all looked hot. Natalia's makeup was extra but pretty at the same time. Lara did something that made her look five years older. If I didn't know her before I wouldn't be able to guess that she was sixteen or fifteen as her brother would say. She was putting on a fitted black leather skirt that barely
Nathaniel's POV. Alexia would be the death of me. A good kind of death. The picture she sent gave me an excuse to bring up the night we spent together in my bed, not like I have been able to forget it. I couldn't forget it even if I tried. I honestly didn't realize when I started touching her. I thought I was having a wet dream cause I have been having them frequently since the incident that happened in her living room that morning. Imagine my shock when I woke up and realized that I wasn't dreaming, that it was actually happening, that she was really allowing me to touch her and please her. It took everything in me to try and stop and when she said I shouldn't stop...the last rope of restraint I had snapped. The Lord knows I would have taken her right then and there but I couldn't bring myself to go all the way. If and that is a very big if, if we ever have sex then I want it to be because she wants to have sex with me and not because she is thinking about her blind-ass best frien
Alexia's POV. "Look what the cat dragged in," Natalia announced when I entered the living room where she and Lara were busy watching a movie like nothing happened last night. I woke up with a pounding headache, pounding was even putting it mildly. It felt like my head was about to burst and God, I wanted to run to the bathroom so badly and puke my guts out but I hate the sight of vomit, even if it is mine. "I don't feel too good," I said and looked up to meet their eyes but I lowered them immediately. "How is it so bright in here?" Natalia chuckled. "I made you hangover soup. It's over there in the kitchen and there is Advil for your headache and for your eyes..." she turned to Lara. "Do you by any chance have a pair of sunglasses that she can wear?" "I happen to have one tight here," Lara said before opening a drawer that was attached to her center table. She held up two different sunglasses. "Which one?" "Are you asking me to choose right now?" I asked her. She shrugged and
Alexia's POV."Will you stop pacing and get on with it. You are making my eyes dizzy trying to keep up with you." Lara said. My fingers were still hovering over Nathaniel's contact. I was still debating if I should call him or not. I could just call him and get it over with right? But the problem here is I wasn't sure what I was getting over with. I couldn't even remember half the shit I said to him last night. "I shouldn't call him. He is probably sleeping right now. It is twelve hours difference remember?" I tried to put it off. Natalia scoffed. She wasn't the least bit bothered. She said that she doesn't understand what I was being paranoid about. Her words were; "I really don't see why you are being paranoid. I mean he is your boyfriend after all." He isn't my boyfriend though, pretend boyfriend? Yeah but an actual boyfriend? Nah. "Okay, that is it. I am going to call him for you if you aren't." Lara said and snatched the phone from my hand before I could react. She held the p
Alexia's POV.We left Lara's big as fuck mansion yesterday and went back to my apartment or rather Nathaniel's apartment. Natalia suggested we stayed over at her brother's apartment and I didn't argue. I mean you wouldn't argue if you were me. Bigger television, bigger kitchen, and what's the more...bigger bed so yeah, we were over at her brother's apartment. Natalia was busy on her phone as usual and I was busy staring at my laptop trying to continue from where I left off but I haven't been able to put anything down since. "You have been staring at your laptop for a while now. Is everything okay?" Natalia asked. I didn't think she noticed me because she hasn't moved her eyes away from her phone. "Everything is not okay," I answered simply. There was no point in trying to hide the fact that I was suffering from a serious case of writer's block. She placed her phone on her lap. "You want to talk about it?" She asked. "Is this still about your drunken mistake?" "What? No." I someh
Alexia's POV. "I don't know mum. I don't think I will be able to make it tonight. I have a friend over and can't just leave her alone here." I told my mum. My phone was on speakerphone while I was busy typing away on my laptop. I have been on a roll ever since the advice I got from Nat. I wasn't sure I was going to publish this one but it felt good to write it and the excitement was back. I get excited whenever I think of writing. "You can always come with her. I haven't seen you since you moved out, Alexia and you don't even call." She complained. I was guilty of charges. What kind of a child will it make me if I said it just always skips my mind? "You don't call me either, mum," I said. "That is because you don't call and I was scared to call you." She said. I stopped typing at that and I think I saw Nat raise her eyebrows too. "Scared to call me?" "Maybe scared is not the word. Skeptical? I just wasn't sure if you would pick up if I call." She said. "Mum!" I exclaimed. "H
Alexia's POV. "You didn't tell me Liam was going to be here," I exclaimed trying to keep my voice as low as possible. She looked at me like I was on something. "When have we ever had dinner together without Liam?" Okay, she has a point there. I should have known Liam was going to be here but I think my brain short-circuited cause I haven't even thought about him much and he hasn't tried to reach out either.You have been screening his calls, Alexia. Maybe I have been screening his call but he could have visited...come over to my apartment to apologize or something. How do you know he didn't come over? You have been at Lara's for the past few days. I get it. My subconsciousness was in support of Liam. I honestly have no problem with him being here but Nat, I don't think she would want to stay. "What happened? He told me you guys had a fight and he hasn't been able to reach you. That has never happened before. The two of you have never gone days without talking to each other." Sh
Alexia's POV. "You told her?" I turned to Liam and he shrank into the chair when he saw my glare. "I didn't mean to, I swear. It just slipped out." He confessed. "How can it just slip out?" I asked him. "Alex...""Calm down Alexia. He didn't mean to tell me, I was already suspecting so I kept pushing until he told me." My mum interrupted. "So you really didn't want to tell me huh? What? Did you think I would try to snatch your boyfriend?" She joked. Natalia laughed. "Trust me. There is no way you can manage to steal Nathaniel away from her. My brother is way too smitten to see someone else." "He is your brother?" My mother asked. "Oops." Natalia mouthed and sent me a look that screamed I am so sorry. "I knew it was suspicious the moment you introduced a teenager to me as your friend. No offense to you Nat." My mum said sending me a glare that had me sitting my butt down. "I am just going to..." Liam started. "Oh no, you don't. You caused this so you don't get to leave." I i
