Nathan

I got that feeling inside my bones it goes electric when I think of her. Ashley her smile, her laughter is all I see when I closed my eyes. I don't do love but now I realized love is everything. What's better than having someone wrapped up in your arms at night. When I feel her heart beating in her chest and I know that it's beating for me. She have saved me from waisting all of my energy on different girls. I was just clueless at how it was hurting me, draining my energy.

She's like a beacon. I am drawn to her because no matter how I tried to stay away she dawn me closer. The smell of her shampoo in the morning is just breathtaking.

She has been so withdraw and sad for the last few days. She's been at the hospital everyday. I'm glad that Matt is fine and is having a full recovery. I am extremely happy that I could help. It was a lot of money but it's totally worth it. The way that she connected to this kid is incredibly amazing. I visited him once with Ashley. He's funny and smart. I am extremely happy that I could help save a life. The doctors still cannot believe how he come back to life after being dead for ten minutes. It's a mystery that none of us can uncover.

It's been one week since his miraculous recovery. The doctor decided that it's best for him to stay there for a week so they could over see and check up on him. Ashley hasn't slept properly since then and I'm worried. I'm worried because sleeping bags are forming under her eyes and she looks like a fucking zombie.

My phone rings snapping me out of my thoughts "Hey how are you feeling? Did you something to eat?"

"I'm fine. We are getting Matt from the hospital today. I forgot to tell you." She spoke softly.

"You know he can stay with us if that's not a problem for his sister." Yes his sister. The one that Jai keeps rambling in my ears about , at every opportunity he got.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes. I would like to play video games with him sometime."

"Okay thank you so much. See you later."

I don't know what's going on with Ashley. Something is not right. She said William in her sleep again. But because of her stressing already I didn't bother to asked. Yes we slept in the same bed last night and it felt good. So fucking good, wrapping my hands around her small frame and her butt pressed on my thing. It's took everything in me to not attached that little pretty body of hers.

"Well that's rude?" Nora mumbles. I totally forgot about her sitting there. She's just forgettable. We were sitting in the back of the limo very far from each other. I looked at her and she crossed her arms looking at one of her nails.

"What's rude is you listening to people conversation." I bite back as I put the phone in my jacket pocket. I served myself a glass of champagne and drink.

"The least you could do is pay me some attention."

"What attention? You were the one who agreed to all this shit. You know I don't love you."

"Well I love you. I want to be with you and I have to jump your bones." Damn. She's greedy. So fucking greedy.

"You know what I'm done pretending with you the moment we step out this limo I will tell the public everything."

"You can't do that. My dad wouldn't go through with the merger and you would ruin my reputation." My mother needs my signature on the paper and I'm not signing. I'm not signing half of the company away.

"What reputation do you have. I for once know your a bitch." I wish I didn't have to call he that but she needs to know. She keep griping my groin when I'm around her.

"Your hurting my feelings there" She yelled from the other side putting a hand on her heart pretending that it's wounded. She stand pulling her dress down while walking towards me. I think she may have gain a few pounds but I'm not sure.

"Where you think your going. I choose to sit here because I want to be far away from you as possible." I can't even look her in the eyes. Not after what she did to Cindy. I haven't think about Cindy in a while. I think it's time to let her go. A part of her will always be with me forever but I won't be able to move on if I still hold on her.

"I'm coming to my husband side of course" Husband? That word is fucking burning out my eardrum. Her words are like venom they fucking destroy me. She sit beside me pulling my arms around her. Then she put her hand on my groin squeezing it.

"Keep your hands to yourself." I spit as I pulled her hands from off me. I don't know why I agreed to come to this fashion show with her. Yea because it's her first launch and according to people it would look terrible if her husband wasn't at her side supporting her. I'm going to kill my mother.

"I'm just Nervous Nathan. Please just hold me." I huff and put my hands around her shoulder. What damage can be done. She looked up smiling at me. I only want one person in my arms right now and it's not Nora.

I know Ashley and I agreed that we won't go out in public together not until I cleared this up with Nora. But this is wrong, being out here with Nora and leaving the woman I married in the dark.

The limo comes to a stop and I felt relief that we have reached our destination. I just want her off me. She like a deadbolt she's not sending any emotions through my body.

"I think we have arrived." I pushed her off my shoulders. She reached her hand forward and ruffled my hair then she do the same to her.

"Now they will think we were getting it on."

"Bitch." I reached forward and try to smooth my hair but then I stopped because if it looks like I was smoothing my hair with my hands it would seems like we were doing something. Either way I'm fucked.

"So I've been told. Now hold my hand."

"What I'm not doing that."

"I said hold my hand." She pulled my hand as the limo door opened and stepped out. With her hand holding onto mine. This was the longest limo ride of my life.

The moment our feet touched the red carpet I was greeted with flashes. I shield my eyes from blinding.

"Nora tell me how do you feel to have your first fashion launch?"

"I'm extremely happy. I have been dreaming about this day all my life." I pulled my hands from her grasp and let her have her moment of fame.

"How is married life. You have to get some inspiration from your husband?"

"Marriage life has never been great. Could have been better but you know every marriages have there problem." She looked over at me giving me a wink.

I think they were having sex.

Look at her hair.

Look at his hair.

They can't keep there hand off each other.

That's exactly what Nora what's them to think but I don't care because I know I wasn't doing it.

This is my chance to clear up the air with Nora. She poisoning my oxygen. I need to let them know that I am not married to her. The sooner the public knows the sooner I can show off my beautiful Ashley.

"I have something to tell you guys." Nora looks over at me giving me an eye that says you wouldn't but I give her one saying I would.

"Yes , what is it?"

"Nora and I are n-" the words was logged in my throat when Nora lips collided with mine. I put my hand below her waist and pushed her off. I hope they didn't realized I pushed her off.

"Nice talking to you?" Nora said holding my hands pulling me behind her. I don't want to cause any more drama so I just went behind her.

"What was that? Are you crazy!" I yelled the moment we were out of the public eye.

"You will thank me later." She replied "I have to go see if my models are ready." She said leaving me standing , wiping off her lipstick from my lips.

I am telling you she's my mother student. My mother train her to uses every opportunity she got to create a next problem. How the fuck am I going to fix this one. 'fuck' I cursed as I collided my fist into the wall. I am not going in that room with her.

I don't know why I didn't leave but I was still here watching her fashion show. Her designs are incredible amazing. She's really talented. I loved the red gown which has a slight at the side and diamonds embedded at the breast area. It was almost a see through dress but all the important parts are covered and I can't help but imagine how lovely it would look on Ashley.

After the show was over and the fashion police say what they wanted to. I saw Nora smiling and thanking the guest. I mingled with a few but I just wanted to get out of here.

****

"Your designs are lovely. You are really talented." I told her the moment we sit back in the limo. I think it's necessary for me to the her how I feel about her designs. I can't be bias and say I didn't like them because I do.

"Thank you." She smiled "I want to be the best designer out there so that people can talk about me. When Angelina Jolie hits the red carpet and they asked what she's wearing and she said Nora. They will all know who I am and with you buy my side it just amazing." I must say she quite the dreamer but the dream she has with me will not be fulfilled.

"Wish you all the best with that but remember I am going to stop being your husband. You know what I want a divorce."

"What but we aren't even married." She said.

"Exactly so stop being so clingy."

"Here give this to Ashley." She handed me a white box with a red bow wrapped around it. I never mentioned Ashley name to her so how does she know.

"What? How do you know? Do you have one of those detective guys snooping around my house.?"

"Let's just say I knew her once. She was my friend."

"What do you two have some bad blood or something?" She stood silent for a minute.

"Why do you think we have bad blood. Don't think the worst about me."

"Because your Nora and you destroy everything you touch. Your the destructor." I said putting on a smirk.

"You know nothing about me. Do you think it looks appropriate for me to give her myself." She does have a point but it still doesn't look appropriate for her to give Ashley any kind of gift.

"I know everything about you Nora. Your the definition of evil."

"I'm not evil. I'm fighting for what I love."

"Are you going to force me to love you because I won't okay. My heart belongs else where now."

"Hahaha, do you like speaking rubbish."

"I'm putting an end to this got that!"

"You look so fuckable right now." She lick her lips and take a drink from her glass.

"Your crazy." She fucking crazy.

"Hahaha." She laughed. She so crazy. She sounded like that Harley Quin.

The drive was silent for the rest of the journey because I don't have anything to say. No, I just don't want to hear her voice anymore. I sip on my wine. Everytime I take a few glances at her. I could see her staring at me. The looks in her eyes where unknown. I don't know if she wants to kill me or pin me down on this coach.

I knocked on the limo window and the driver opened the window. I didn't wait for him to speak up. "Please stop. I'm getting out." I can't stay another minute around her. I get an Uber to get to the office. Unfortunately with the gift she gave me for Ashley.

***
"Are you and Nora a thing now?" Willa asked the moment I stepped in my office. I looked up at her sitting in my chair.

"What?" I asked looking confused.

"This." She said pushing her tablet out towards me. I walked up and take the tablet looking at what she was showing me.

Mind blowing kiss on the red carpet.

Nathan and Nora hitting it off in style.

Then I saw a picture of Nora kissing me and boy did it looked like I enjoyed it. What if Ashley saw this. I don't think she will. She too busy with Matthew.

"Uncle." I heard my Niece. I turned towards the door and she rushed into my arms. I lifted her up and twirl her around. She giggled.

"Hey Abby how are you.?" She planted a kiss on my cheek.

"I'm fine. I miss you."

"I miss you too. I'm sorry I haven't been around. I'm just so busy right now."

"That's what mommy said." She smiled. I placed a kiss on her forehead. I think Willa only knows to put Abby hair in two because she always wears the same hairstyle when I see her. She was wearing this cute little pink dress and matching shoes.

"Mommy are we still getting the ice cream." Abby peep over my shoulders looking at her mom.

"Yes sweetheart." Willa replied.

"Then come now. I can't wait any longer."

"Your leaving me already Abby." I fake cry.

"Uncle I love you. I will visit you some other time because now I want ice cream." She squeezed my cheek at each word

"I love you too. See ya." I put her down and she linked her arms with Willa.

"This isn't done." Willa whispered to my ears before leaving. " Love you bro." She shouted from outside.

I sat at my desk and think about everything. They way my life has turned. Spending the day with Nora and the headline of the article that Willa showed me. My mind is spinning and my thoughts are jumbled until I focused my mind on one single thought.

I'm ending this shit. I pulled out my draw searching for that contact that my mother gave me a few days ago. I'm bringing it back to her. I found it pulling it out and then something fell. I looked on the floor and I saw it the envelope with my name written on it. The letter from Cindy. I reached down and take it up. I stared on it for a second until I ripped it opened. It's time for me to see what it is.

Nathan,
If you're reading this letter it means you failed to explain yourself or I don't have it in me to forgive you. It hurts knowing that you betrayed me like that especially with my best friend. I love you Nathan but I can't go on with you any further. If you decided to date Nora after this I gave you my blessings. If not I wish that you will find love again. I don't want you to feel guilty about anything. I want you to move forward and love someone else. I know that you love me but I'm begging you to please moved on. You will one day find someone who is amazing and beautiful. I want you to love her with all your heart and don't feel guilty about it. Love her more than you love-d me. I write with tears in my eyes because I know that I am losing the love of my life. I love you Nathan and please be happy.

Your love,
Cindy 💋

How is that supposed to make things better. Was Cindy even thinking what she's saying. You can't write that letter to the man who loved you with all his heart. If she wasn't dead I would rip that letter apart and hunt her down , if I have gotten that letter in college. But now with tears in my eyes I crushed the letter in my palm and toss it somewhere across the room.Cindy wants me to be happy and moved on and that's exactly what I'm doing.

I pulled the contact from the desk and walked to her office. My blood was boiling. I was so mad , angry and everything in one. Cindy even written Nora name in letter. Nora is in everything she's like fucking salt and water.

I saw JP looking at me and if he even utter a word to me I will beat him to plumb. I pushed my mother office door opened.

"Mother!" I yelled but when my eyes reached forward to her I wish I had stayed in my office. She was having sex on her desk and when the gentleman looked up it was none other than George Daniels. I turned and walked out because this is an image that will taunt me for the rest of my life. I heard my mother rushing behind me.

"Nathan it's not what it looks like." So what does sex looked like. Because I'm sure that was sex.

"I don't want to talk to you."

"Your weren't doing anything. So I have to stepped in."

"I was just at Nora fashion show because you begging me to go while you are here fucking her father."

"Mind your language.We need the merger." Everything for her is always about business.

"Mother are you so desperate. Do you even deserved the that title anymore." This is low even for her.

"Nathan look at me." She yelled but I can't. I can't looked at her.

"Nathan please." She pleaded and I shifted my eyes looking at her. Tears was running down her face but I'm not feeling sorry for her. Not this time.

"Here." I handed the unsigned contract to her. "I'm done with this shit."
