View MoreIsabella's POV When she figured that I was pulling her legs and she almost fell for it she stood up abruptly and chased after me.She was ready to get me but I gave in to the chase and surrendered.I sat in the bed and I began to beg her not to hit me, I told her I was only playing and I didn't mean what I had said.When I saw that she had surrendered and she wasn't going to hit me anymore, I then muttered.Though what I said is not a bad thing, it's just an idea. You can give it a thought and probably act on it or not.She gave me a wicked look and I retired from teasing her immediately.She began to speak again.We are still, in the afternoon and I would like for you to think about it too.I looked at her with a questioning look and I asked, Think about what?Think about spending the night in Nate's room of course. You know we can't be sure of when he will be away again and I want you to tell him about what we had discussed earlier.He would be able to render help to you.I'm sure
Isabella's POV Listening to Thelma speaking put me in a good mood.I was happy that she got to stay in the same place with Andrew without any form of disturbance or distraction. It was just the two of them alone.Way to go, Andrew, I made a mental remark as I have been restricted from speaking out loud now. I was filled with excitement but I dare not show it, I wouldn't want to piss Thelma off. It will make her not complete her confession.Now that I am way too invested in this confession, I can't let that happen. Not even a bit.She continued to talk.He had said he wanted to kiss me right there at that moment but he hadn't and I was disappointed.I wished so much in my heart that he had done that but seeing how he stepped back I was too much of a coward to push further.I turned away from him and he moved towards me but not too close this time.Thelma took a deep breath looking straight and deep into my eyes before speaking again.“He confessed”, she spewed from her mouth.I almos
Isabella's POVNate was here, close to me. I can't seem to gather my thoughts and think straight.He was so close to me that all my body parts could feel every inch of him and react to his presence, my body was too aware of his close presence. Oh! I exclaimed inwardly. He is at it again. He snaked his hands to move to my waist like he usually does, sending chills down my spine, and then he pulled me even closer to himself by my waist, closing every inch of distance between us.I felt my body betray me so badly as it shivered at his touch in reaction to his hand movement on my waist. I was so weak that I couldn't even protest, my mouth couldn't form words, my head could not think properly, my mind was all over the place and I was weak in the knees. His hands were what was holding me in place from not falling to the floor.His face was hovering close to mine, barely inches away I could smell his cologne. He smells like sharp musk mixed with spice and with a weird infusion of leather or
Isabella's POV Thelma was insinuating that I should go and sleep in Nate's room again. I can't believe that she said that. I can't tell if she was looking for ways to send me out of the room so that she could stay on her own.You joke, Thelma, I'm not going anywhere tonight.I am going to sleep here in the room with you, you know I missed you last night, I said to her and she busted into laughter.“Don't even tell me that.” I'm certain that you didn't remember me the whole of last night. I was stunned and couldn't form words in my mouth to say to her.She looked at me for a bit and continued, you know that I am right, girl. There Is absolutely no reason for you to lie to me or pretend.Also judging from all you narrated to me about last night, there was no way you had me in your head for the slightest second.I had no space to come into your head so wouldn't you stop pulling my legs now?I was totally shocked. How did she know that?Last night, I didn't remember anything or anyon
Nate's POV I was glad that I had friends who were looking out for me, regardless of all of the troubles that I was in.It's good to still have genuine people around me. I do not take them for granted at all.I would do everything possible to protect them, especially Isabella.I continued my work and not long after Damien came in.He gave me the files he got from the office, I had a rough look at them before I asked him to drop them in the study room.I needed to work and I had a lot to cover, also because I would be going to visit my parents. I wanted to face on some work while Andrew, Damien and Jane would handle the rest.I stood up and went out of my room to go to the study room to work.Isabella's POV.Nate's has put me in a very tight corner and I don't know how I am going to behave around everyone in the house.I didn't want any of them to give me any form of preferential treatment because I was with Nate. Also, I thought that they wouldn't be as free with me as they were befor
Nate's POV I laughed so loud as Isabella ran away from my reach in shame.I returned to my room and called for Damien.I knew that I had pressing and urgent needs to attend to but I still wanted to be around the house for as long as I could.Damien came into my room, I told him that I wouldn't be going to the office today so he should have my work for today brought home.“Go to the office and Jane will hand you some files for you to come give me”.He left afterwards. I had not told Jane that I wasn't coming to the office today so I called her.She greeted me after answering her call and I told her that I had sent Damien over to get my work for today from the office and then she should send me my schedule for today.Not long after we dropped the call, I got an email.Jane had sent me my schedule for today. I had two site inspections to do today but no office meetings making my decision not to go to work today a blessing in disguise.I decided to go for the site inspections from home an
Isabella's POVEveryone went silent and I was still in shock. I didn't know what to do.After a few more minutes, I found my voice back and I immediately turned down his gesture.“Oh don't worry, we will eat in the living you can enjoy your meal sir.” I said hurriedly, and I tried to leave again but this time around, he stood up from his seat and moved towards me, stopping me from leaving.Don't leave, I really want you to stay. Let's eat together.I was unable to move, I just shook my head and followed him back to the dining table as he pulled me.I called Thelma to come and have a seat to buy. I refused to look at everybody in the face. I'm sure that they will be so surprised as hell.He sat down back in his seat and I moved far away from him a bit before sitting.He shot me a wicked look and I didn't care, only to hear him speak again.Babe, you are too far away.Come close, come sit next to me.By this time I was fuming in anger, I wondered why he was doing this to me. I could te
Isabella's POVOh my goodness! I muttered to myself as I told Nate goodbye before I stepped out of his room.My heartbeat was racing and beating against my chest really fast, I didn't know what to expect.I had a wonderful and lovely time with Nate earlier and I didn't think about anything. The whole of last night my mind was filled with thoughts of Nate and me alone. I lived in the moment completely forgetting about the outside world.I was lost in the world of ecstasy last night but now that I'm over that, reality has set in and I didn't know what the future held for me.I took gradual and gentle steps away from Nate's door, as I began to tiptoe towards my room. I was walking like a thief who was on a mission to steal and not to get caught in the process.I was scared of someone seeing me come out of Nate's room, I couldn't beat that. I do know that they must have known I slept in Nate's room last night given what Nate said to me earlier but I was still too conscious.I wanted to s
Nate's POVMy friend Jack is such an asshole, I scoffed.I put my phone back on the table in front of me as I tried to pick back the files I had in my hand before Jack called. I raised my head to check on Isabella and I saw that she was awake and she was staring right at me.Oh… hey…you're awake? I asked as I tried to mask my excitement about seeing her.I didn't know how long Isabella had been up for or how much of my conversation she heard me have with Jack.“Yes”, she answered shyly, I then got up from the chair I was on and went to her on the bed.Good morning, dear, I said to her before planting a kiss on her forehead.She giggled and then answered me.What's the time? she suddenly asked and I told her what the time was.She muttered “shit” under her breath as she started looking around for her clothes.Isabella, what's wrong?Are you okay?Yeah, I'm fine now.You should have woken me up, it's way past morning hours and I didn't sleep in my room last night.What would everyone t
