Nate’s brow furrowed in confusion. The past days were one of the toughest days he had ever had. The reporters were on his neck and they stayed at the front of his house every morning. A couple of days back, his front yard looked empty so he decided to step out. Just when he was about to get into his car, a reporter sprung from the bushes, flashing a camera at him. He was taken aback and ended up spending the whole day at home. He drew in a long sigh and he took a long swig from his coffee. Just a few weeks ago, he was doing just fine and he was running the office smoothly. Now, he was confined to his house, running from reporters and playing detective. Not to mention, he was also avoiding Taylor. She had sent some wedding suits to his house for testing. Mrs Wyatt decided to arrange a pre wedding photoshoot for them. They went on with the arrangements even though there was no groom.His face twisted into a frown as he saw his reflection in an ornate mirror. What used to be a we

Wearing a wrap dress was a terrible idea as the dress kept lifting. The slender pine tine trees were swaying in the wind and the sand grazed her feet lightly. The beautiful sight of the sunset comforted her. The familiar smell of the water and wet sand and the crashing of waves calmed the raging storm inside of her. The beach was unusually empty but she loved it. A sigh escaped her lips as her mind churned. An hour ago, she was at the shelter, taking care of some of the children and helping with whatever she could. It had been an emotional moment for her as she could relate to what some of the children were going through. She had decided to go back home to pack up what was left but took a turn to the beach last minute. Her apartment that once felt like her safe space now felt a little foreign as she had moving boxes and items lying around. She sighed as she sipped her margarita. Everything was coming together, she booked a flight out of Oregon and was leaving in a week’s tim

A pile of wedding suits lay on the couch and boxes of shoes kept piling. Taylor sent in wedding suits almost everyday. The designer had tried to take his measurements a couple of times but ended up being thrown out by the security. The pastor who was supposed to ordain the marriage called him multiple times. He wanted Nate to come to the church and practice saying his vows. A sigh escaped his lips, the wedding was a joke. Grace was so upset he spent a good hour calming her. Just like Nate, Mrs Wyatt sent in a couple of dresses almost everyday for fitting. Mrs Wyatt claimed the finest chef in all of LA was coming in a few weeks. She wanted a ball themed wedding where Taylor was going to be Cinderella and Nate was going to be Prince Charming. Nate had roared with laughter when he heard the ridiculous plan. It was typical of Mrs Wyatt to break her bank each time she was hosting an event. It was a common thing among the ladies that lived in the richest parts of Oregon to throw parti

The ride to the airport was depressing. The weather forecast had promised the day to be cold and gloomy. She wore a knit turtleneck and jeans to prevent the harsh November cold. Very very terrible idea. She spent a good three minutes yelling at the weather app. It was too late to change to lighter clothes as she had packed her bags and her Uber was outside. Her eyes watered a bit, everything was set. She found the perfect house in Columbia and was ready to move. Ethan treated her to a nice dish and promised to come visit her whenever he could, he still tried to get her to accept Anderson’s offer but she wasn’t having it. The morning mist cleared up significantly as the sun came blazing through. To make things worse for her, her Uber driver seemed to be in a bad mood too. He yelled at her for keeping him waiting and refused to help her put her luggages in the trunk of the car. She could have conveniently called for another driver but she was not in the mood. She was an emotional

Nate, Jake and Adam fitted themselves in the booth of a small local pub. It was the only place Nate could get away from the annoying reporters and their stupid flashing cameras. No one would believe a man of Nate’s class would be found there so it was perfect for him.He adjusted the hood of his sweater as he scanned the restaurant for any suspicious person. “The fries here are delicious,” Jake commented as he dug into his food.Per usual, he had a cigarette at the back of his ears, ready to smoke any minute. Nate mumbled something inaudible in response. He had terrible coffee from a vending machine earlier in the morning and he was still pissed about it. Grace wasn’t around to prepare him breakfast as she had a meeting to attend.He let out a low groan as he stared at the chicken burger in disgust. He specifically told the waiter he didn’t want tomatoes but the waiter did the exact opposite and he had a burger heavy laden with tomatoes. “A good cup of coffee would be nice now”

Nate fumbled for his keys and started the ignition. Roughly, he pulled out of the driveway and headed to the airport. The airport was an hour and thirty minutes away from the local pub but with the heavy downpour, it was going to take probably two hours. His mind jiggled with a million thoughts. Why did Ruby choose to move all the way to Columbia and why didn’t she inform him? Why did he care about a random employee when he could hire the best of the best? Why did he feel his breath hitch and his chest tighten when he heard she was moving? He clenched his teeth as he resisted the urge to curse and sound his horn at a reckless driver. The streets were oddly jam packed with vacationers and other road users which contributed more to the traffic. He let out a deep breath as he tried to calm himself. He figured Ruby’s flight might be delayed due to bad weather but he was sure. He pulled out his phone from his pockets as he tried calling her number, it was switched off. He wondered if

Nate dumped the bicycle at a corner as he took refuge in a little shop that sold souvenirs. He was now totally drenched in rain and his hair stuck to his face. His knuckles were white from how he grasped onto the handles of the bicycle. He stared at his reflection as he regretted his decision on the spur of the moment. How was he going to explain to Ruby he just chased her all the way to the airport? She was going to be startled by his actions. One thing about Nate Jacobin was that he was always calculated, his days were well planned and scheduled carefully. He placed the wet hood of his head, what if a reporter had seen him? “This was a terrible idea” he sighed The rain had reduced to a very light drizzle and the sun began to peep through the clouds. Now, it occurred to him that someone could recognize him if he decided to walk into a clothing store. He shook his head, he was convinced that in the last four hours, he actually ran mad and he just regained his sanity and wa

The cafe wasn’t packed, thankfully. Nate booked a cozy table. He could tell she was cold from sitting at the airport all day. Her face was flushed red from the cold as she stifled a sneeze.He wanted to order some hot chocolate but changed his mind, he still wasn’t over how she dumped hot chocolate on him the last time. A good three minutes passed in silence, an uncomfortable silence. They were preoccupied with their own thoughts and a thousand things to say but they were either scared to admit it or worried it would cost them a lot. Ruby motioned for the waitress as she ordered hot chocolate for the both of them. She saw a little look of worry on Nate’s face. “Don’t worry, I won’t be dumping it on you” she jokedNate laughed lightly and felt a part of the tension between them ease up. “So, why are you moving to Columbia?” He asked, trying to start the conversation.He was careful enough not to sound too concerned and at the same time too careless. “I guess that’s where m

An hour had passed but it only felt like fifteen minutes to them.Nate’s laughter was music to her ears. They had finished their food over cracking jokes and making fun of each other. She hadn’t realized how much they had in common. She could also see that behind his coldness was the loveliest soul ever.She was so surprised when he showed up at the airport, surprised but very much pleased. She was on the verge of crying because her flight was delayed when he showed up. Also, she forgot her headphones in the cab she took. She called the man and he yelled some Latin cuss words at her. She was so excited about him that she had forgotten she was about to cry. The rain didn’t seem like it was going to stop anytime soon. The thought of cuddling up in bed and watching romance movies seemed warm to her but sitting across Nate’s handsome face was even better.A few moments ago, they were competing for who could catch peanuts with their mouths wide open. Nate won six to two. Ruby spent

Ten minutes crawled by slowly. The sky had cleared up a bit as thin days of sun began to peek through the clouds. The duo sat in an uncomfortable silence as they watched some kids run around while their mother yelled at them. Nate traced the pattern of decoration on the table. He owed her an apology for reacting so suddenly. He was confused about his feelings and he needed time to figure things out. It was the first time he felt something for someone, something indescribable, something he wasn’t ready to explore. The way her smile warms him up was strange but it felt good. He believed it was only in fairytales people felt flattered by just a stare from someone. When she placed her hands over his, he felt something he never felt with any woman. He felt comforted, loved and wanted. He could still feel how warm her palms felt against his skin.He flinched out of fear which he regretted. The fear of loving someone.The look she gave him ripped his heart into two. He wished he could
