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

Nate's POVAs I gradually opened my eyes as I had just woken up, I was hit by the bright sun rays of light that shone through my window. Then I also felt the warm snuggle close to my chest. I looked and I saw Isabella in a deep sleep.I looked at her face intently, studying all of her facial features so closely, She was beautiful…so beautiful I concluded.I thought of how yesterday night had played out and a joy of satisfaction hit me deep as a wide smile spread across my face.Last night was wonderful and splendid. I had not been with anyone for the longest of time…not since my ex-girlfriend passed away.My friends had tried to hook me up with different girls a couple of times but I had declined their offer continuously. They even came to a point where they gave up on me. I had not been ready the whole time and I had always turned down their help of wanting to get me a girl. At least that's what they do themselves… hooking up with several girls and not having any form of stability.

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 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 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
