Chapter 30
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

Chapter 31
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

Chapter 32
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

Chapter 33
Alexia's POV. The last few days passed by in a blur of activities. My writing got better and Brenda called again just to know how far I was going with my writing. I told her about the book I was working on and how I don't plan on publishing it at all. She went batshit crazy on me at first and then she calmed down and asked me to send some of the chapters I have written to her and I did just that. Honestly, I couldn't say no to her. I haven't started working on our next project instead I have been so busy working on some novel that I wasn't going to publish but I sent it to her anyway because I was hoping she would be able to understand just how important it is to me. I haven't heard from her since I sent the first few chapters to her. No reviews. Nothing. I wasn't bothered though, I knew she would be back in due time. Natalia and Liam are still not on good terms. He apologized to her already. She said she accepted his apology but she couldn't forgive him— remind me never to get on

Chapter 34
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

Chapter 35
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

Chapter 36
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

Chapter 37
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

Chapter 38
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

Chapter 39
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
