When Love Lasts Chapter Twenty Two
The red lipped woman who checked my boarding pass had a small fit when she read the name printed across it. "Kendrick?" she asked skeptically, scanning me up and down rather unprofessionally as she scanned my ticket too which made me to snatch it from her grasp instantly. "Yes!" I snapped back, trying not to feel offended by how disbelieving she was that I could be associated with the name, Kendrick. Already feeling a monstrously bad mood setting in, I slumped down in my seat with the sole intention to sulk for an hour. The first class area was obviously incredibleThe leg room was equivalent to that of two economy seats put together, and I was pretty sure that the seat reclined into a completely horizontal position. The only negative was the number of dirty looks I received from the economy passengers filing onto the plane after me. "Would you like to order a beverage, Miss?" a flight attendant asked."Yes. Some water, please," I replied.She placed the glass on my tray table with

"So where did you work before Colins'?" I asked.William seemed overjoyed at my casual question, and a beaming grin spread across his face as he answered. Our conversation stemmed from there, and we covered practically every cliché date topic I could think of even before our food arrived. Thankfully, William was more than happy to ramble on about his two adorable younger sisters the entire time we were eating, gushing about the fact that his mother signed both of them up for toddler ballet classes and how it was the cutest thing he had ever seen. I could't deny that William was undoubtedly one of the most easy going people I had ever met, and a small part of me was forced to admit that that was one of the few qualities Nicholas didn't possess. Oh, wow! I finally found a flaw in Nicholas Kendrick? Well, I meant other than the obvious ones like his fear of commitment, his temper, his traumatizing past, his downright bossiness, his general tendency to just get jealous all the time, a

"Blasi's Club? Why there?" Rianne asked"I don't know. William said it is really cool and tons of celebrities have been spotted there, so obviously he wants our second date to be there." Rianne rolled her eyes as our taxi driver eventually got over her stunning good looks and started the car. "That boy just wants to get in your pants, Lia, and he probably thinks getting you drunk is the easiest way to do that,” she said.Then she chuckled to herself as I sighed in annoyance, knowing very well that she had likely hit the nail right on the head there. "Well, I feel so guilty about still being caught up on another guy that honestly, I will go wherever he wants to." Rianne rolled her eyes pointedly as she pulled out her phone, undoubtedly to check that her deep pink lipstick and sharp winged eyeliner hadn't been smudged in the reflection it provided. "Still thinking about Mr. Billionaire, huh?" she quizzed.I couldn't help but feel slightly offended by the disappointed tone in her wo

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

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
