Nathan was driving back to his apartment and hoped Kimberly awaited him. He instructed Amy to tell her he would return tonight. But it was already late; the flight was a bit delayed. Perhaps he shouldn't have hoped much.Surprisingly, Kimberly sat on the floor in front of his door, sleeping. She was tired. He put down his luggage and crossed his legs at her reach. He touched her face gently, afraid to wake her. Then he recalled Henry's warning."No, it's impossible she couldn't even break a promise." He murmured and carefully carried her to his room.Kimberly seemed to be in deep sleep. He lays her in bed and removes her shoes. He stares at her longer while touching her face again, caressing it. Unknowingly, he moves closer to her lips and claims it. It was supposed to be a simple kiss, but he was tempted. There's no doubt he misses her. His kisses became torrid and woke her."Nathan...." She cried, surprised."What?!" He uttered.For Nathan

It's been two weeks since Kimberly started her way to be part of an elite society. After working at the Restaurant, she practiced more at Nathan's condo. She walks around with a book on her head to balance and has some statements to memorize on how she will answer Nathan's friends' questions, which Nathan himself wrote. She recites it over and over again. And like every night, Nathan arrived with bags of food. "Hi!" She greeted. She removed the book from her head and took off her shoes. She also helped him prepare the food like always. "How are you doing?" he asked as he sat on the chair. "Great, I also memorize some of my lines now." She said while placing some plates on the table. "Well then, let's practice." "Can we do it after eating? I'm kinda hungry." She said, turning to the food. "Fine." He smiles. "So, how about your work? What time did you get here?" "About five o'clock sharp, my work, nothing

The following day Kimberly was still not feeling well. Her head was aching as she opened her eyes, trying to figure out where she was. She rose weakly as she realized its Nathan's room. Then hardly walked to reach the bathroom because her bruises from the hit by the car were also painful. Nathan was at the door with a food tray when she came out. He quickly rushed to aid her and put down the tray on the bed. "I'm alright. What happened?" She asked. "C'mon, easy." He carefully assisted her back to bed, ignoring her question. "Nath... I mean... Mr. Conner?" She asked, a bit nervous. "It's alright. Call me Nathan." He said. "You're not mad at me?" She asked again. "Let's just say I'm giving you another chance." "Thank you." She smiled as his eyes deepened on her. "Why?" She asked once again, confused. Nathan shook his head and turned to the tray. He took the bowl of soup and spoon, poured a small amount, then blew a bit before giving it to her. "I can do it, don't spoil me like t

Kimberly hurriedly went to the washroom with such worries. "Yes, Hello... Andy?" She was nervous. "You need to get back right now." The other line sounds alarming. "Okay. I'll be right there, goodbye." She went back to their table and tensely approached Nathan. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked grimly. "Sure." He answered with a huge smile. "Excuse us." He turned to them, and they went outside. "What is it, honey?" He asked and embraced her tightly. He was so happy about how it turned out though Kimberly refused. "What now!" The smile fades away, and he sounds a little upset. "I need to leave right now." She glanced worriedly, and it puzzled him. "Are you kidding me? My best friend wasn't here yet, and you're asking to leave? And besides, it was only eleven___." "I know... I know it..." She cut him panicky. "But it's urgent...please..." She continued. "Enough!" He shouted.

The next day Nathan decided not to work in his office. Instead, he planned to stay with Kimberly and help her."Where are you?" He called her as he rode in his car."I'm at work right now. Sorry, I can't hold on longer." She answers casually."Didn't I tell you to get some rest!" He's irritated."I already did. Can I call you later?" Kimberly is in a hurry."Mackie's restaurant?" He asked."No, I got another job.""Exactly where?""Along Sunset Drive Avenue. Sorry, Nathan, I need to hang up. My boss is here." She snaps, ending the call.But still, he drives his car to Sunset Drive Avenue and passes by Mackie's Restaurant."She's not here." He murmurs while driving slowly and looking around. He turned left at the corner of the road and heard loud music. A new store had opened with many balloons, flowers, ribbons, and confetti. He passed it through and continued driving while turning his sight on both sides, hoping
