“Someone, who’s there!!” Nick continued the yelling, he had never been so confused in his life. For a moment there, he wanted to smile that Angelina was back; not until she started coughing repeatedly and moving like she was having a seizure. The nurse who had came earlier to check on them while he raised his voice few minutes ago, rushed inside the room, this time; she wasn’t holding any file. Nick heaved a sigh of relief and stood up from the chair, giving way for the nurse, he ran his through his hair and heaved another sigh again. “I’ll be outside,” he said and walked out of the room. Allowing the nurse do her job, he couldn’t stay in there anymore second, it was making him so guilty. And it was also making his urge to nail the face behind everything burst its banks. But he had to wait till morning first. What he needed now was a pack of London’s best, and he knew just where to get it. ***Diana couldn’t sleep, she didn’t even move. The ceiling fan creaked slowly in her bedr
Diana raised her gaze to look at the customer who just occupied one of the stools, she was expecting it to be Nick, she had been expecting him since she resumed work that night. But unfortunately, it wasn’t; it was the man who made her feel nervous anytime he was around. He was looking cuter than the other day, with the light in the bar, Diana could see his real handsomeness. The blonde had front curls, and his blue eyes were glimmering, not to talk of his pink desirable lips. Diana didn’t know she had been looking at him for a few seconds and he was actually staring back at her. She gasped when she realized it and quickly went towards the shelf that held the drinks. It’s happening again, Diana thought. The same thing that happened the other night. She grabbed a bottle of bourbon and breathed out before she turned over and walked towards where Simon had occupied. Luckily, Julia was busy attending to other customers, she didn’t get to see Diana drooling over a man, but Simon was
It was the guy who kissed Diana while he was drunk the other day. Julia was stunned, different thoughts were starting to build up in her head. Maybe he wasn’t really drunk that day, what if he was just using the opportunity to get to Diana. If that was true, it would have been one hell of a move. She also remembered Gonzalez asking her who he was. Now she saw the reason why Gonzalez asked, he seemed to be the hindrance between Gonzalez and Diana. And that was just perfect, she had to make her move on Gonzalez quickly. But unfortunately, he hadn’t been coming to the club since that night. Julia gazed at him with a surprised smile on her face, he was staring at Diana who was busy preparing the Negroni he had ordered. She didn’t really get to observe him that day, it was now she saw how handsome he was. She laughed softly when she saw the blue eyes, it wasn’t a mockery kind of laughter, she was laughing because they both have that in common. A blue eye blondie, a rare kind of man, a
He was standing next to Simon, and was staring straight at her. The look in his eyes was fierce and somewhat like a warning, even though he was smiling, she knew it wasn’t an happy one. Gonzalez was the last person she was expecting that night; why the hell was Nick not coming? She thought. Simon shifted his gaze from Diana to the man she was staring at, they had been gazing at each other for a few seconds. It was enough time to prove that Diana knew who he was. Julia’s heart ached, seeing Gonzalez keeping his gaze with Diana was making her so jealous. She had been waiting for him, while Diana had been enjoying the company of her new companion. And yet, she was the one he was interested in. This wasn’t going to happen tonight, Julia thought. She was going to do what it takes to get Gonzalez attention. Diana closed her eyes and sighed when she realized she had been standing there staring at Gonzalez for far too long, she could literally feel all the eyes on her that moment, she w
Simon, Diana and Gonzalez all shifted their gaze to Julia, who had just chipped into the conversation without permission. Julia was a little surprised, but she didn’t make a fuss of it. “Why are you all staring at me?” She inquired with a friendly smile on her face. “You just interrupted me, that’s why we’re all staring at you,” Gonzalez answered her, sipping at his Negroni. He was pissed off inside, but showing it would turn the tables. He needed to try and act cool, but still he didn’t want Diana talking to Simon alone. Simon held his glass close to his mouth, staring at Julia. They had both had an awkward moment a few minutes ago, and she seemed to know Gonzalez too, she even called him by his last name. “I just thought I should join the conversation, since there wasn’t any customers except you two; I’m really sorry about that,” Julia apologized, this time she had a placid smile on her face. Diana was glad that Julia interrupted Gonzalez, she couldn’t even think of what he wa
Julia stood rooted to the spot, trying to make a normal face as Nick walked up to the counter. Gonzalez followed her gaze and it landed on Nick who was almost at the counter, he moved his gaze back to Julia. From what he was observing, it seemed she wasn’t expecting to see that man. Nick didn’t know he was being stared at, he had so much in his head; he wasn’t conscious of his environment. Not until he got to the counter, he was wearing his casual leather jacket with a black shirt inside on a blue jean. “Hi Julia, can I get an old fashioned please,” Nick said. It was reluctant, he didn’t even stare at her for more than a second. He shoved his hands inside his jacket and retrieved a piece of Marlboro cigarette, placing it on his lips. He didn’t want to think of Julia’s response to the note he left the last time. In fact, he hoped she didn’t have a response yet. This wasn’t the time to savor good news. Someone was dying because of him. Julia was a little surprised at the way he spo
Julia felt Nick’s cold palm around her wrist, she couldn’t bring herself to turnaround and look at him in the eye. She never thought he’d go this far, when he came up to the counter and asked for a drink without even properly exchanging pleasantries with her, she thought he had something troubling his mind. That was the opportunity she wanted to use, but it seemed as if she was wrong. “Let go of the woman mate, what business do you have with her?” Gonzalez grumbled, tapping Nick by the shoulder. Nick looked at his shoulder, then shifted his gaze to the man, glaring at him. He was still holding Julia’s wrist. He controlled the pent up anger that was trying to explode inside of him, he had been through a lot that week and was still very angry that Angelina was struggling to survive. The man who was talking to him was the owner of the club, his guards were everywhere, he wouldn’t stand a chance if a fight broke out. Nick ignored Gonzalez and turned his attention back at Julia, tighte
Nick raised his head slowly, till Diana’s face came into view. He was a little bit surprised to see her, he didn’t even notice her since he came to the club. Was she here to console him? After she had ignored him all this while? No, he wasn’t going to fall into another illusion. Diana was the first woman his eye caught, but her lack of interest didn’t allow his feelings for her to grow. If he allowed this conversation, stupid things might happen; things he wasn’t ready to face. Now that Julia had grounded his heart to dust, he would live with the pain while he fight those who tried to kill Angelina. This wasn’t the time for sweet talks. Nick gazed at her, she had that pitiful look in her blue eyes; a rare and beautiful woman. However, even beauty couldn’t fool him now. Diana was about saying her first words, when he stopped her by pressing his index finger on her lip. “Shhhhh, don’t say a word,” Nick whispered dryly, he stood up and made his way to the exit of the nightclub.
