Nathan's POV"Hello Rita," She took a step towards me and my hold on my glass of wine stiffened. Rita was the last person I'd expect to meet at a club or even anywhere in town. After we broke up, I refused to stay in contact with her and focused more on my company. I met Rita while I was in my final year of high school. I was on a trip to my preferred University to give it a tour and make my final decision when I first saw her. She was a year ahead of me and was nice enough to show me around campus. Before leaving, I got her number and we started talking. Even when I went back, the communication didn't stop.It was love at first sight for me and there was no doubt the years that followed was that of me going through the puppy love phase. I didn't tell her I liked her immediately, it took a long while before I did. "I never expected to see you somewhere like this. The last time I checked, you don't drink," She mentioned. She took a seat beside me, her knee almost touching mine. I m

Chapter 31 Alicia's POV"You okay, Ali?" Georgie nudged me by the shoulder, getting my attention. I looked up at him and gave him a fake smile. He scrutinised me. "That's fake. What's wrong?" "Nothing. I'm good," I lied. Infact, I was lying and he was right. Something was wrong but maybe not with me but with Nathan. He hasn't been picking up my calls. I wouldn't have bothered to call him if he hadn't told me he would be coming down to Spain two days ago. When I couldn't reach him on the expected date, I was worried but I thought he would reach out soon and now that's day three, I realised something might be really wrong. "You know you can talk to me, right?" Georgie asked. I nodded. "Sure," "Great," he winked at me before walking up to Mrs Cadry and one of our engineers. We were currently on a tour to one of the Parks designed by Antoni Gaudi; Park Guell. Since we've been in Spain, I'd realised that not only was Mrs Cadry a worshipper of Gaudi's designs, she's probably obsesse

Alicia's POV"Are you jealous, Ali?" I quickly looked away before I could blush like an idiot. All this while I've been thinking my crush on Georgie was all in the past but at that moment, I realised that the long period of being separated didn't change anything. There's every possibility that I might have a tiny teenie crush on Georgie. "Shut the fuck up, Georgie. I don't have a crush on you," I spat. "Uhn, I don't recall saying anything about you having a crush on me," My eyes went wide as I heard his words and realised my slip up. Damn! I bit down on my tongue and almost cursed out. I shrugged. Trying to piece back the shreds of my pride, I answered. "Same. All are the same," He licked his bottom lip and stood up straight. "Whatever you say, Alicia but seriously, since when does crush and jealousy mean the same thing?" I glared at him and he bursted into laughter. "Yeah, right. Keep laughing," "You make me laugh, Ali so who am I not to?" "Just shut up. I don't have a c

Nathan's POV "What's the update?" I asked Sylvester after I got into his car. He'd called me hours ago to meet up at the parking lot of a popular tower building in town. I wasn't able to meet up immediately because one of our servers got a bug and I needed to fix it together with the team. "Not even a hi or hello. Straight up to the real matter like a true Lancaster," he joked.These days, I don't find anything funny so I didn't laugh."What's up?" I asked again."What's up your ass? Someone got on your nerves," "Not really, work's been hectic," I lied. "What are we doing here?" "Well, some of my boys traced the girl who owned the phone down here because they thought she wanted to meet with someone," He stopped, took a bite from his hamburger. "And?" I asked impatiently."She lurked around the corners for a while waiting for someone or so we thought but two hours later, she left," "Did she make any phone calls?"He looked at me, then smirked. "Nah. She wasn't even with a phone,

Alicia's POV"Hey, how was Spain?" Nathan asked before turning to his parents. That wasn't the question I was expecting from Nathan. Maybe it was me who had too much of an expectation. After lying to me about visiting Barcelona and showing me some stupid vineyard, I expected an explanation or maybe an apology, not Hey, how was Spain? Also, I never expected to meet his parents at the door when I got back. They were waiting by the door. I can't really tell how I was feeling when I walked into the house with them but I knew at some point, every word that came out of my mouth was with fear. I'd never had a conversation with both of them in an enclosed space like this before. It was new and scary. "Good," I answered weakly. I purposely didn't let him know that I would be back home today because I was still mad at him. I'd promised myself to ignore him completely. "You have no right to come into my house without letting me know," "You're such a shitty person, Nathan," his mother answ

Alicia's POVMinutes after I tried to process what just happened around me to no avail, I stood up and went to my room. I was exhausted from the trip but at the same time, I could also use a drink.On the other hand, I was too exhausted to go back downstairs to pick a drink or something so instead, I sat on the floor of my room and laid down with my phone in my hand. I surfed through the internet looking for something interesting while I waited for sleep but that was all useless because nothing seemed to interest me. Instead, I closed my eyes and began counting, hoping that'll help. All of a sudden, I found myself in a dark space. I tried opening my eyes but it didn't work. I looked around me and all I could see was darkness. Not even a beam of light. I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and fear gripped me by the back of my neck. I couldn't turn to look at who it was because if I'd turned, I wouldn't see anyone. I heard laughter from one corner, when I looked, it was a younger me,

Alicia's POVAll through the night, I barely slept and my fingers never left my lips. I knew I was supposed to regret the kiss but why am I not totally regretting it? A side of me wants to walk away from the house and never look back while another part of me thinks it's no big deal. After I realised I was kissing Nathan and got back to my senses, I stood up from the bed and moved away. He also stood up and walked out of the room. I couldn't even look at him as he did. He tried saying something but I raised my hand, signalling at him to stop. After he left, I realised I was stupid enough to kiss my ex-husband.Usually, when I make silly and crazy mistakes like this, I end up regretting it for a week, but the more I remember the kiss I had shared with Nathan, the more I couldn't get it out of my head. The way his lips danced against mine, holding my breath and releasing it for me to breathe. His hands in my hair, and his tongue moving against my lips. I knew I was done for. "Good mor

Alicia's POV"Mrs Lancaster, it's ten, I need to lock up in ten minutes," Reluctantly, I dragged my eyes away from the system in front of me to look at the security man. The only thing that resonated with me about what he said was he'll be locking up the building for ten minutes. He was standing at the door, looking at me with so much concern."Thank you, Mr Allen. I'll start packing up," "Yes ma'am," He closed the door and walked away. I picked up my phone to check the time and realised I've been in front of my laptop for seven hours, designing, resdesigning and designing again. It was a never ending cycle.At four in the evening, I left the orphanage for the office because I wanted to meet with Mrs Cadry before leaving. She usually leave the office by five. By the time I saw her, she was in a hurry but left me with instructions to meet with the senior Architect. It was my first time seeing the man since I started work and it wasn't pleasant. He had so much to say about me wherea
