"Loads of alcohol... as you wish, my lovely wife..." He grinned, teasing her again, and thought of a rematch."Hey, it's half-married wife..." Henry corrected it as he placed the dishes on the center table."I thought you were my best friend?! You're supposed to be on my side!" Nathan smirked."Well... but he right, honey... you're the one who said that... half married! Isn't it...." Kimberly agreed. She sat beside him and opened a bottle for him."You're teasing me again..." He winced before drinking."I love you, Nathan, my husband...." She smiled and kissed him. She must stop playing with him, or he'll get mad and spoil their night."Hey, I'm still here... just continue that honeymoon of yours later! Come on, cheers!" Henry interrupts, waving his bottle."Fine!" Nathan agreed and broke Kimberly's kiss."For Mr. Nathan and Kimberly Conner!" Henry continued."CHEERS!!!!!" Even Kimberly drank some beers.They have a great time enjoying, laughing, drinking... trying to forget for just
The next day, Nathan's head feels like hell again. It's been a long time since he had this feeling, and it hurts a lot. He also felt something heavy on his chest and found it was Kimberly sleeping like an angel. They are lying on the floor as he remembers what happened last night. He stroked her hair and kissed it."So you made some mess again last night!" He was shocked to hear Henry's voice lying on the sofa."What are you doing here?!" He was puzzled."You idiot! Have you forgotten that you invited me last night?" Henry scolded."How's mom?" He holds his forehead, realizing what he did last night is wrong."So you did remember?""Yes." He nods."Nathan, how often did I advise you to control your anger, especially when drunk?""You know very well that I'm trying.""Don't just try it! Please do it! I'm warning you again; it may ruin you and your life alone!" Henry has always been a serious best friend."I'm just drunk, okay!""Being drunk is not an excuse. Like Kimberly said last nig
Kimberly wakes on Nathan's bed alone, wondering where he could be. She rose and saw the note and Nathan's phone on the table.Honey,I made you coffee and cooked some breakfast, pre-heat it, okay; call me when you wake.I love you!Mwahhhh...Then she dialed her number."Honey." She greets."Hey, good morning." Nathan greets back."You took the wrong phone.""Yeah, sorry." He just said, thinking that Kimberly might argue again."So, where are you?""In my office.""Office?""Yes, I didn't bother to wake you because I know you're tired.""Sorry about last night; I spoiled the party." She apologizes."No, it's alright, it's my fault. I was so drunk, sorry. Let's do it some other time, like a honeymoon.""Okay, I will love that."Then it was paused..."Kimberly, do you want to talk about Andy?" Nathan's voice is calm but firm."No, I'd rather not. It's too early to start another argument; I don't wanna spoil your day." She chuckled a bit."Yeah, right, but if you want to ask anything abo
Honey, I'll be late; call me later. I love you.It was a message from Kimberly's husband, it was not touchy to make her cry, but tears just fell rapidly with trembling lips."What will I do??" She cried.Kimberly's mother is her life, while Nathan is the only man she loves, and can't live without them."Nathan." She desperately calls out his name. Her mind is worn out and confused. She doesn't know what to think. She had sat on the bench at the waiting shed for a couple of hours while staring blankly at the ground. Every bus that passed by stopped in front of her, but she didn't even bother to look.And then, finally, she rode in a cab without any idea where to go but found herself walking through the Conner Marketing Enterprise building. It was four o'clock in the afternoon and still an office hour, so everyone was surprised to see her. They all started murmuring again like earlier when Nathan arrived. She went straight to the elevator with her eyes on the floor, ignoring them."Good
Kimberly thought Nathan would protect her and her mother from Andy's plan. But she was afraid to tell Nathan about her conversation with Andy knowing he was his half-brother. And after all, he confessed to her Andy was still his brother, the blood that runs on them is from their father, whom they never had the chance to be with while growing up. And she cannot allow Nathan to hurt her brother. "What?" Nathan was puzzled. "Protecting us." She added. "Of course, I'm your husband! You should believe in me instead of your brother!" He answered, jealous, which made her smile. She pushes him to the other side switching their places. She's on top of him, sitting on his abdomen. "You're cute. You're handsome, but I didn't know you could also be cute." She said sweetly, almost sneering that Nathan's ears turned red. "I'm not cute! I'm gorgeous!" He disagreed and put his hand on his head, trying to hide the redness of his ears. For Kimberly, it was such a relief hearing Nathan's promise of
Nathan went to the living room to pick up his phone, a bit upset.Disturbance!"Hey, Henry! What's up?" But Nathan changes his mood to know that it is his best friend."Nathan, I thought you would drop by here last night?""Sorry, my wife was not feeling well. I needed to calm her down, so we ended up on the bed." He answered with a little laugh. Henry was smart to catch what he meant and just gritted his teeth.He can't stop himself from getting jealous."I know it's still early, but I want you to come over with Kimberly. It's urgent." Then he tried to sound as usual as he was."What is it? Tell me now, if it is something bad, Kimberly might freak out__.""Mrs. Aston wants to talk about it before you; two." Henry interrupted. He doesn't want to hear it again."She just recovered; she looks better now, unlike yesterday. Can you give me at least a little idea so I would know how to calm her later?" But still, Nathan repeats it.Now Henry's mind is shouting with anger. Why does he have
As water from the shower continues falling on their naked bodies, Nathan put his hands on her cheeks."Sorry about what I said, but I said it's "IF," I didn't mean anything bad.""But____""You don't need to worry; remember what I promised you last night?" She nods."Just keeps that in mind and stop being so paranoid!""I just can't help to worry because of your reactions.""Me!?" Nathan point to himself."Even though you didn't speak about it. I can see it in your eyes! I'm not stupid!" She said, a bit hurt."I know you're not; I just don't want you to cry again like last night and ask me stupid questions. Like, what if you leave me? Remember?" Her eyes widen. Yes, she remembers! And even remember Andy's real identity."See? Something bothers you, but you don't tell me." He continued as he saw her reaction."No, it's not like it. It's just that." She was still hesitant to tell him about Andy."That's why I asked you if mom can't make it because I have to prepare myself on how I will
Nathan shook his head as he released her and leaned back on the driver's seat."Nathan, I just want to know if you're like this with your girlfriends." She asked softly."Like what?!""Giving me everything." She stared at him longer. Nathan firmly grabs her legs and waist, carrying her to sit on his lap and face him."Nathan!" It shocked her that she shouted. She was amazed how he could grab her like that so quickly. He took her face in his and whispered."You are the most wonderful, greatest love I have.""You mean__," She said while crossing her arms around his neck again."Yes, I've never been like this before, even with Anne or any other girlfriends I had." He answered as he pressed his forehead to hers."Thank you." She looked at him and reached his lips, kissing him softly, sweetly, and passionately."I love you, Nathan; you're my first love and hope to be my last." She said softly while touching his face."Of course, I will be your last! Don't expect someone else!" He hissed, m
