Alexia's POV. "I knew you would go back on your promise," Natalia murmured under her breath but I heard her anyway. Nathaniel and I pulled back from our almost kiss after Natalia rudely interrupted us. He placed me down on my feet and wrapped his hand around my waist and he is yet to let go of me. I wasn't complaining though. I like it here. "Almost, Nat." I corrected. "What promise?" Nathaniel asked. "It is nothing," I told him. "She promised not to make out with you in the airport," Natalia answered. "And Good day to you too big brother. I can see that nothing else matters as long as you have your girlfriend in your arms. You didn't even notice me." Nathaniel moved his hand away from its position on my waist and pulled his sister into a hug. I felt the absence of his hand immediately. "You know it is not like that. Besides you were busy looking down at your phone anyway." Nathaniel said. "I wasn't." He shrugged. "It was worth a shot." "Whatever. Come on let's get going. I
Nathaniel's POV. I never thought I would ever miss someone the way I missed her. The last two weeks I spent in Singapore was hectic. I still find it hard to believe that I was able to complete all the necessary tasks within two weeks. It would have taken longer than two weeks but I knew I wouldn't be able to stay away from Alexia for more than two weeks. Even the two weeks were hell, it got worse when she said those things she said that very night. Nah, I think it got worse when she started sleeping in my bed and in my shirt too for that matter. I didn't know just how interwoven our lives have gotten until I went on that trip. It was like I could see her everywhere. Did I miss seeing her face, seeing her smile, and hearing her talk? I think I missed that the most. The way her face lights up anytime she is talking about something she is passionate about. The kiss was my undoing. I knew I wouldn't be able to stay away from her after that kiss but I still tried to play it off as an a
Alexia's POV.Tingles. I can feel them everywhere. From my lips down to my toes. I was tingling all over and my bones...I think they were nonexistent at this point. My brain had turned to mush and the only thing I could think about was his touch. His hands were all over my body, cupping my heavy breast and touching me down there where I ached the loss. We were already as close as humanly possible but I still pulled him closer. I could feel his hard-on poking my belly. I wanted to climb him like a fucking tree. I pulled at his hair and he grunted against my lip before letting his hand slide down my back to my butt. He planted his hand firmly on my butt and started to lift me when... "You guys...oh my God. I am so fucking sorry. I swear I didn't see anything." Natalia said. I let go of Nathaniel's neck reluctantly before burying my face in his chest. This is so embarrassing. I felt Nathaniel chuckle and his whole body vibrated due to it. He tightened his hold on my waist and pulled
Alexia's POV. "Can I read it?" I screamed and slammed my laptop shut before turning back to find Nathaniel dressed in a blue Tom Ford suit. I didn't think he had any other color of suits other than black. He had an amused smile on his face at my reaction."Can you stop sneaking up on me and scaring the shit out of me?" I asked him. He shrugged. "I just wanted to see what was more appealing than me. You were not in bed when I woke up." My heart was still beating fast because of the scare. "I just couldn't sleep with all the imaginations in my head. So I thought I should just...you know? Work." I said. "Will you let me read it?" He asked. "What? My book?" I asked him feigning confusion. "Yes, your book." "No, absolutely not. Not this one." He raised his eyebrows. "The first No would have done it." "Right. Going to work?" I asked him. I was obviously trying to change the topic. I wasn't sure if he noticed it cause he didn't point it out. I didn't want him to ask to read it agai
Alexia's POV. "Where are we going?" I asked Liam for the millionth time. "You just can't help yourself, can you?" He asked with a laugh. He already told me to stop asking that I was a surprise but I am not calm enough for surprises. "Just tell me already," I whined. "Check the back seat." He said. I turned around in the car to check. There was a basket filled with snacks there and a glass of wine and another basket that had lunchboxes in it. "We are going on a picnic?" I asked him before sitting my ass back on the seat. He cleared his throat and nodded. "It has been a while since we went on a picnic. I thought it was a good idea to catch up and all. We can do something else if you don't like the idea." "I love the idea but I have one question." "What?" "Who made the food?" I asked him. He laughed. "My mum did.""Good," I muttered. Liam can't cook, like at all. He tried boiling water once and he managed to burn the pot, he forgot he was boiling water and well, the rest is h
Nathaniel's POV. I was on a conference call when I got the call from one of my tenants. I didn't want to answer the call at first but then I reasoned that my tenants never call me. They know not to call me so if they are calling me then it must be urgent so I answered the call. When I heard the news my first instinct was to tell Alexia so I tried calling her number but it wasn't reachable then I tried texting her but I got no reply then I realized that if she wasn't home then she would be with one person, Liam. I called him even though I hated it. I didn't like the fact that I had to call him to reach Alexi but I did anyway. Fifteen minutes later and I was in the hospital. The last time I came here was when Alexia sprained her ankle. I walked up to the nurse that was manning the reception. "Natalia Carter. She was bought in here a while ago." The nurse flipped a few pages and then clicked something on the monitor in front of her. I honestly couldn't care less what she does. I was
Alexia's POV. "You have got to be kidding me," I exclaimed. Of course, my mum scheduled the dinner for the next night when I told her that Nathaniel will be available but I managed to convince her to shift it since Natalia was still feeling woozy. We agreed to have dinner during the weekend and here we are, on a Saturday evening in my mother's home ready to have dinner. The problem here is that I think my mummy invited the whole neighborhood. Maybe I am exaggerating a little but does sound like she invited the whole neighborhood. We haven't even gone inside the house yet and I can hear the chaos from a mile away. "I am going to her and I won't be sorry," I muttered under my breath. "Hey, calm..." Nathaniel tried but it was already too late. I was already at the door and ready to scream the house down when someone wrapped their hands around my waist and lifted me off the ground like I weighed nothing. I didn't need to look at his face to know it was Liam, his smell gave him away
Alexia's POV. Dinner is going well so far and cheers to hoping it remains that way. My mum was sitting at the head of the table as usual and Aunt Isabel was on her right with me and Nathaniel sitting beside her followed by Leon and Leo. Natalia somehow found herself between Louis and Lucas and I think the level of testosterone around here is already getting to her— in a good way. She won't stop giggling and tucking her hair behind her ear. Her behavior was irritating to Liam judging by his expression. "You are starting to drool, Natalia," Liam commented. He lied, her mouth was perfectly close. They have been getting along alright since her asthma attack. She wouldn't tell me what he did to get out of her bad books but I wasn't complaining. It is easier to be in their company now. Natalia shot him the stink eye. "Is it getting to you that I no longer follow you around like a lost puppy?" She asked him. I see she is never going to let him live that one down. "Why would it? I am h
