When Love Lasts Chapter Twenty Five
My heart skipped a beat. No, my heart skipped two beats. One because he was here, and the other was because he referred to himself by his first name. "What..." My words were drowned out by the club's music which suddenly increased drastically in volume. I scowled and clasped my hands over my ears in an attempt to tame the pounding in my head. After what I made out to be a few seconds, I felt my body vibrate with a loud sigh despite the all consuming music. Then my head began to hum with the sound of someone speaking, but the raging sounds of the club paired with my hands clasped over my ears meant I couldn't quite make out the words. "What?" I shrieked before one of my hands were roughly tugged from my ear as Nicholas repeated himself. "I said don't resist,” he said.And then before I knew what was happening, my feet were lifted from the ground. An overwhelming feeling of dizziness set in as I was hauled over his shoulder, and my head fell limply against the back of his neck as

Nicholas stared back at me, a look of anxious expectancy etched across his features as he chewed on the inside of his cheek. I quickly realized that I despised this particular look on him. “Don't look at me like that,” I said and he turned away, not saying anything. "We are here," he said softly. "Where is here?" I asked carefully. "My apartment complex," he replied nonchalantly and my heart stopped. "Wait, what? Why are we here?" I asked, almost panicking."This really isn't the time to answer all of your questions…" he started but I cut him off.“But…" I began and this time it was his turn to cut me off."Please, Ophelia. I have work to do and you are in no state to go home by yourself. Let's go." And then he was out the door, and for some deranged reason, I followed after him. No, it was not because of a deranged reason; It was just as if it was common sense to follow Nicholas Kendrick into his apartment building. l ignored the uneasiness welling up inside of me as I walked
When Love Lasts Chapter Twenty Seven
My eyes snapped open just as a door slammed not too far away. I bolted upright, scanning the spacious room around me in an attempt to figure out where the hell I had just woken up in. From the groggy feeling in the pit of my stomach and the rancid taste of alcohol on my tongue, I could pretty much figure out what went down last night, but the room surrounding me didn't quite match up to what I remembered. I remembered arriving at a bar with William and Rianne, and maybe having a few drinks, and the next thing I remembered was being in Nicholas's car. When did he even appear? "Nicholas?" I called out loud before I realized that the wrinkled white sheets surrounding me were empty, apart from my own sweaty limbs. Oh my God, it is Nicholas I went home with, right? I asked myself, already doubting the little events from yesterday that I managed to remember. "Nicholas?" I called more frantically, and the door in front of me clicked open. "Yes?" And there he was in all his beautiful

"I didn't even know you cared. I am so sorry," I said.I stumbled over my words, my mind numb from everything he just confessed to me. "No. Don't you dare apologize. There is no need for that." His statement came out as a growl, and my lips instantly snapped shut. "I don't know what I feel, Ophelia. You were right about my lifestyle. I knew it long before you yelled it in my face," he admitted. I tried to smile to show that I had forgiven him, but he didn't return it. Instead he frowned deeply and pursed his lips. That was when I realized that he was staring at our clasped hands and I began to feel the tension in the air increasing again. "But to date; to commit to you... I have never done that before." He began to shake his head, and I could tell his emotions were starting to betray him. Fear coursed through me as he tried to leave the bed, looking desperate to escape the situation he had found himself in. I know he was scared of a situation where he felt something. And I coul

My already scruffy hair fell over my face as he began to stride nonchalantly across the spacious living room. I shrieked and giggled all the way back to the bedroom, my face beginning to ache from all the unexpected smiling. "Okay, okay. Put me down!" I squealed in protest, and eventually, I heard a grunt before I was chucked onto the large king sized bed in the centre of the room. Thankful for a soft surface to land on, my laughter didn't falter when he dusted off his hands, feigning disgust as he continued to wipe them off on his pants as well. "Rude!" I called out to him, rolling onto my side to find myself suddenly face to face with a neatly folded stack of clothes. I bolted up quickly, confusion lacing through me. "When did these get there?" I asked."About an hour ago. I had Shane get them for you. Is that alright?" I stared at him with wide eyes, but he seemed to simply ignore that as he began to walk around the room, shutting various closet doors and drawing open the wisp

I fell back onto the couch with a thud, feeling weirdly satisfied despite how awkward that last half hour was to endure. William and I were officially broken up now, and although it took a whole lot of energy and effort, it was most certainly worth it to make everything clear between us. After waving goodbye to him for what I hoped was the last time, I attempted to keep myself as occupied as possible for the rest of the day. Just because I knew that if I had even a moment of time alone with my thoughts, Nicholas would be all that occupied them. Being the neat freak I was, I began by tidying up my entire bedroom, then I moved on to reorganize my desk. After that, I relocated every single pot, pan and beaten down piece of cutlery in my kitchen to their rightful drawer. After having had my fill of that, I decided to finally make an attempt at contacting my currently MIA roommate, who wasn't here to greet me and William and when we walked in. And who still hadn't shown up, despite the

"Come on. Let's eat," I said, winking and he slipped out from under me. “Wait. First, where is your bathroom?" Nicholas asked.I rolled my eyes before I responded to his question. "Over there," I said.He smiled dashingly as he walked in the direction I pointed to. I shook my head in disbelief as I watched his tall figure walk away. At that moment, my ears tuned in to the familiar sound of the front door clicking open. I glance up anxiously and felt a weight I hadn't even realized was on my shoulders disappear when I was blessed with the reassuring sight of Rianne, looking as flawless and groomed to perfection as always.She entered through the doorway with her arms full to the brim with groceries. However, it seemed that she simply forgot this fact because the moment she noticed me standing there, all the things in her arms fell to the floor with a clatter and I was instantly enveloped in a tight hug. "Oh my God, Ophelia! You're okay!" she exclaimed.I found myself glancing behind
When Love Lasts Chapter Thirty Two
I woke up with a jolt, and my breathing was ragged as my mind raced. Will these nightmares ever go away? I asked myself.I shook off the eerie flashing images rattling through my mind as I scrambled out of bed. Almost instantly, all of the responsibilities I had been neglecting for the past week come crashing down on me. I was finally forced to accept that I needed to start searching for a new job sooner rather than later. I spent multiple hours last night deliberating on whether or not asking Nicholas for my old job back would be a good idea. I knew he likely wouldn't hesitate to give it back to me, considering how difficult it was to quit in the first place but could that even work? It would mean that the only way I could get fired would be if we broke up. Would working with my boyfriend as my boss be weird? Boyfriend? Was he even my boyfriend? He said he would try dating but we hadn't had that conversation yet. I slipped on a light wash yellow tank top and blue jeans before he
