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."Listen to me you have to publish it, Alex. This is good stuff." Brenda tried to reason with me but I wasn't seeing her reason. We were currently at the Starbucks having coffee— what else do you do at Starbucks? She insisted on seeing me to talk about the novel I was working on, you know the one that doesn't have a name yet and I never going to be published? Yes, that one. She has been trying to convince me to publish it but I must say that she isn't succeeding. "I am not publishing the book, Brenda. It is a personal thing, something I want to keep to myself not something I want to share with the world or anyone for that matter. I only showed you because you wouldn't stop pestering me and I just had to shut you up with something.""And it worked." She said."The only issue here is the fact that you are trying to get me to publish the book and I have said it times without number that I don't want to publish it. I don't have an outline for that book and I know you are go

Nathaniel's POV. It doesn't take a genius to know that Alexia was getting distant. She was trying too hard to avoid me. It was there in the way she only said two words to me when she and Natalia got back from the spa and it was there in the way she refused to have dinner with us feigning headache. She slept in her apartment that night for the first since...for the first time she slept in my bed for the first time. If that wasn't a sign that she is avoiding me then I don't know... This is one of those moments, one of those rare moments when I wish I have a friend but Nah, I don't have any. It has not always been like this, I used to have friends, we used to go partying every weekend until I didn't have one person to call a friend but...let us not go down that part. I am only concerned about Alexia. I was desperate enough to google search reasons why your girlfriend is avoiding you and it was of no help. Yes, I know she isn't my real girlfriend but I can't exactly search for a fake

Alexia's POV. Nathaniel was pissed. More than pissed even. We are on our way back home and he is yet to say one word to me. I shouldn't be bothered, after all, I have been avoiding him the whole time and he was just making it easier on me but I still didn't like the fact that he could be mad at me. That he was mad at me. "Are you mad?" I asked him with a small voice. He didn't give me any reply and just wind down the window of the car. "Nathaniel, talk to me and tell me why you are mad at me," I demanded."That is rich coming from you, Alexia." He said with a scoff. This isn't good. "I don't want to fight with you. I just want to know why you are so mad." "And you think I want to fight with you? For goodness sake, Lexi. You have been the one playing the whole avoiding game with me and now you want to talk. I have been trying to get you to talk to me but you refused and now you want to talk? Talk about what exactly? Why you have been avoiding me? Why do you recoil from my touch l

Alexia's POV. We somehow found ourselves in Nathaniel's bedroom. I should have known that I wouldn't be able to break things off with him. Honestly, even if I had managed to break things off by the pool I knew for sure that I would have gone crawling back to him. How can one stay away from him? It is impossible for me to stay away from someone that kisses me like a dream and made me feel like I am on cloud nine. I was already naked from the waist up. The top piece of my bikini must be lying somewhere in Nathaniel's living room and my kimono...I think I left it by the pool. I wasn't sure cause my brain is barely functioning at the moment. Nathaniel's hand was everywhere and I could feel his kisses on every part of my body. My legs were tightly wrapped around his waist and he had his hand wrapped around my waist holding me against him. We managed to enter his bedroom without breaking anything or bumping into anything. Nathaniel slowly placed me on his bed and I tried to unwrap my leg
