Why in the hell would his father want to speak to him? He was Xander Castillo, and well, he didn't have any sort of relationship with his father. Just a rigid-unbalanced one, he couldn't let her find out. He could never let Nicole Hart know all this.Pushing the chair aside gently, his dark eyes scanned the table, then finally to the person occupying the seat, he knew she wanted to say something, but she just looked at him so intently, his chest heaved up a bit, before he gestured behind Lucas to walk.Nicole wanted to say something: afterall, today they had found the chance to say something less than a word, so why was he leaving so immediately?She was all alone now; sinking in her own misery, she just concentrated on the food, suddenly losing appetite.When they were in the bedroom, Xander shut the room, before gently seating on the bed, his hands flying over to his hair, pulling it gently, "Now tell me why my father would want to see me." Silence racked his brain, he didn't wanted
Xander had no idea hot to deliver the news, Hey you, I am travelling to Italy, and guess what? You are coming along because..Because what? Shit.Well, now, he had no chance to think of what to say, because she was facing him, her lips parting apart, wait, she didn't even wear any lipstick, what type of woman wouldn't even wear lipstick?For a moment, he was stuck, staring at her every composure.Nicole Hart was angry, her mood was dampen, and her heart was racing in different thoughts, who would have thought that the Almighty Xander Castillo would want to have a talk with her? Pathetic."What is it you wanted to talk about?" She was losing her patience, her stance."I am going to Italy." He paused, gazes at her, makes sure she grabs what he says, and when he was sure that she did. He spoke again. "And, you are coming with me." Seconds passed by slowly, something she acknowledged as slow paced. "I am not.""Yes, you are." He stressed his words, anger flooding through his veins, he gaz
Nicole hated this. No, she hated this man.Her mother had told her that it was rude to hate someone, especially when they are your friend, but right now, there was no rudeness attached. She simply hated this man in her presence. He irked her. He disgusted her. His scent, his face- which every woman would literally die to see. She hated it, and lastly, she hated his flirting techniques."Let's talk again, Nicole." He laughs, showing off his perfectly toned teeth arranged quite neatly, he picked up the napkin and dabbed his lips gently, "Why can't we be together again?" Nicole was sure Zane was watching, he was always beside her, protecting her- even when she had told him she didn't needed his protection, the latter just chose to stick with her.He was part of the shadow. No one had ever saw him before, but he was always there. He was watching her silently behind the dark, buried in the darkness, right there, and if only Nicole could only pinpoint where he was"I told you already, Set
Presently, Nicole is sprawled on her bed, on her night wear, thinking how her life had turned to this. Her once peaceful life had turned to a sham. A complete one, living with a Xander she had no idea of, a life she couldn't even rule. Messy.She sprawled her hair apart, before sinking on the soft mattress, clearly but a little weirdly, she had come to learn that the black colour that wavered around the whole manor brought a soft feeling to her chest.Xander. He was right. Or whoever said it, but black, it was a strong colour, it was waving and inviting, she loved it, every bit of it.She had no idea when the a gentle knock erupted from the door, immediately, she peered her eyes over to the clock, 7:30pm and she was already in bed. Yay, her life was completely sinking and she had no idea.She grabbed the blanket, and hauled it over to her body before resting her head on the headboard slat."Come in." She coughed gently, her hands flying over to her mouth, eager to see who it was, she
Another day, another life.Nicole took a bite out of the donut, nope, not her taste, the taste of extremely warm jelly filled her lips, something wrapped up in lettuce, ew. Not that she hated vegetables, they worked better than pancakes anyways.She pushed her chair forward a bit glancing round the dining table, for the first time in ever. It was empty, no Zane. Lucas was no where to been seen, and it was completely..Empty.She took another bite of the donut, controlling the sharp taste she always received when she ate sugar, puffy, her hands moves over to the mug of early tea, before taking a sip.The door of the dining room bursted open, and a tall figure strides in, Nicole had to keep her stance up, just so she could see his face, her lips parted apart, when Xander walked in.He glances at her simply, before taking his seat, he gazed around the chair, then back at her, he seems to repeat the same process for three time, before grabbing the donut on the plate.Nicole watched him fr
"What's an...?" Zane backed out, still holding his phone curiously, "Instagram?"Levi, his friend almost rolled from his chair, shuffling a laughter in his lungs, his hands moved over to the bottle of beer, before his mouth corked it open, taking a huge gulp, he relaxed. "Man. You don't know what an Instagram is?" He laughed, his breath falling in between places.Zane rolled his eyes, but instead he just drop the phone back on the table, and his hands twisted around a mug of beer, "This is not why I am here, remember?""Use Instagram." Levi eyed him playfully, taking another gulp."I don't even know what it is." Zane tapped his hands against the chair, letting out a silent inhale."Facebook? Do you know what that is?" Levi asked again, breathing in and out.Absolutely no one could understand his best friend, Zane.A muscle shifted underneath his shirt, and Zane inhaled, he hated this kind of thing, social media, friends, he hated absolutely everything, well.. except beer.Who didn't l
"What happens when your date tells you to go and die?"Nicole squeezed her nose earnestly, before fixing her eyes away from the airplane window, great, so far for the wonderful sight. Tearing her eyes away, she could see one bulgy looking Lucas seated beside her.Nicole had counted, talking with Lucas wasn't really a bad thing, in some other way, he wasn't really used to the world, as if maybe he didn't grow on it. Maybe, he was from another planet, but he was amazing, and cool, and always seemed to have her back."Did someone tell you that?""No." His hands scratched the nape of his neck with his hand, just like men do whenever they were nervous, but he wasn't nervous, he was just.....uncomfortably good looking to be nervous, he adjusted from his seat, taking in another gulp, "We are seated side by side."As if that wouldn't make her ask any more questions.Her hand moved over to the window, before she squished her eyes on it, she could see those tiny boxes which supposedly were hou
Nicole didn't know whether to laugh or cry.Best option, Cry...She rammed her knuckles together, before breathing in the aura of the man that sat opposite her. He was examining her- That was for sure, with those long feminine lashes that seemed to linger in her body for quite a lot of time.Xander pressed her arm lightly, as an indication that everything was going to be okay, he was shivering too. She could feel it from his trembling hands. The room was eerily quiet, no one making a noise, that even the sound of a dropping pin could be heard.Lucas and Zane were nowhere to be seen. The maids stood at a far corner of the room, their head bowed. Nicole gazed around, why in the hell was it even worse than Xander's manor?It gave her the creepy feeling, especially in front of the man who owned the house."Xander." He finally speaks up, and they both stare up at him, his voice is hard, nothing compared to sweet, something dark lingering in his voice. He tilted his head over to Nicole, sta
