Nate’s POV I lightly mouthed the lyrics that was playing from my phone that was connected to my car’s Bluetooth. It had been a few minutes since I left Mr Scott's apartment and the unease was starting to finally settle down in my stomach, which I was realy glad about. I didn’t try to exchange numbers with Marie and I was glad she didn’t try to get my contact as well, I have no reason to speak to her again because I honestly do not want to give her any kind of ideas like I was starting to get into her or something. I dragged my hand over my face and started to massage my forehead once again, dragging my thumbs over the pulse around my head, using a firm touch to rub into those spots until the pounding in those spots in my head slowly reducer into a low hum.I breathed out a slow sigh as I turned into a corner swiftly before continuing to drive forward, after a little while, something quickly popped into my head, making me curse a little as I started to fish for my phone from where I h

Nate’s POV “Do we honestly have to do this?” I asked my father in an exasperated tone as I shook my head at him a little. He didn’t even bother to pretend to be fazed by my movement as he slowly gave a nod of his head, right before he carried on with speaking loudly like I hadn’t just spoken up. It was a Monday morning, three days after I had go over to my dad’s friends house to go have dinner with him and his daughter, Marie, and here I was at my dad’s office on a Monday morning, with my immediate cousin sitting on the second chair beside the one I was currently sitting in, and our eyes were both focused on my dad who was standing on the other side of the table.“So, since they were the ones to come here that time and couldn’t even start the damn meeting because Nsth chooses to ruin it before it even started by walking out on all of us, we’re the ones that are going to go over to their company today in order to go get the contracts signed.” Father continued and I slumped down i

My father dragged his hands over his face and said nothing after that, while Eric and I still remained silent, both staring down at my dad.“Aren’t you going to go ahead and apologize to him?” Eric asked from my side and I ignored him but it was at that partic moment that my ears had chosen to start to ring in such a way that was also affecting the insides of my head as well. I lifted my hand up and started using it in tapping against my ear as also using my fingers to massage the side of my head above my right ear as well.I was still trying to make my anger reduce when Eric started to speak again in a low voice. “Fucking apologize to your father, you spoilt–” I turned around before he could complete his sentence and grabbed his shirt collar eith both hands, and I tugged him forward until we were pressed lightly against each other and were both staring into each other’s faces. I faintly registered the fact that my father has also flew up to his feet instantly and had started to hasti

Nate’s POV Once I was done there, I tugged out my handkerchief from the inside of my suit jacket pocket and used it to wipe my face softly, lightly dabbing against my eyes that looked a little bit swollen at the moment. I heard the main restroom door start to get pushed open and I turned my head around instantly, locking eyes with a set of familiar eyes in the next second.“Nathaniel? How have you been?” Lucaa asked as he made his way into the restroom and pushed the door closed behind himself. I inserted my handkerchief into my pocket and hoped that it wouldn’t be obvious that I had been almost having a breakdown when I had made my way into here, as I turned around to stare at him. I forced a smile onto my face as I started to speak.“How–” He didn’t even give me a chance to speak before he was cutting into my words, as he closed the distance between us and started to speak.“What’s wrong, Nathaniel?” He asked in a small voice as he stared down at me with concern at the edges

Nate’s POV “Oh, you remember my birthday this year?” I asked almost immediately and I heard her voice huff a little in my ear before she started to speak.“Of course I do.” She replied instantly.“Well, you forgot it last time, and didn’t even remember until after one good week.” I reminded her as I started to slow down, seeing as I was almost home, and I paused the car at the front of the big gates, knowing the gates were going to get pulled open by the security men after about a minute. “Aw, come on Nate, it was that one time, and I got too swamped with work during those times, which was why I forgot.” She started to argue and I rolled my eyes a little as I drove my car through the now opened gates, straight into the garage.“Doesn’t make it hurt any less though, I hope you won’t end up forgetting this year’s own because of your work…” I said to her in a low and flat voice as I turned off the car engine and pulled the key out of the keyhole.“I didn’t mean to forget it that
