I was sitting in my cabin after a long meeting. Going through the notes. I was about to get up and hand them over to Nicholas when he walked into my cabin. "Hi?" I smiled. "Get my plane ready for Greece," he said as I looked at him confused. "Huh?" I asked. "Do I need to repeat myself Ms Knigston," he said sitting down.

"I... Um.. okay?" I said opening my laptop. "Also, pack your bags for tomorrow," he said. I looked at him shocked. "What?" I asked. He just gave me a look. "Right, not repeating, but tomorrow?" I asked. It's been a week since dinner. Violet and Xavier were back from the trip. I did go to pick them up but I only picked up Violet. She didn't seem in a great mood so I didn't push it.

I had to find out what was wrong with her. "Is that a problem?" he asked. "Why are we going and for how long?" I asked, grabbing my phone. "Five days, We have meetings on Wednesday, and Thursday, and events on Friday and Saturday. We have meetings again and then on Sunday we will be back," he said, getting up and buttoning his suit. I loved this habit of his, Unbuttoning his suit while sitting down and buttoning it up when getting up.

I nodded. "I will see you tomorrow at your house at 6 am," he said. I nodded and he walked out. I got back to work calling to get the plane ready.

It was 6 pm and I was about to head out early because I needed to shop and get ready. I knocked on his door. "I am heading out, do you need me to do anything else?" "No, but I have some suits that I have to pick up, could you tell my driver about that?" he asked. "I can pick them up for you, I am going shopping anyways," I said. He smirked.

"No," I replied before he could even say anything. He had gotten used to giving me snarky comments or flirty lines and as much as I loved seeing him happy and being himself. Those things he said made me either blush or puke there was no in-between.

"But you haven't heard what I want to say." "Nicholas, I swear to god, I have so much to do, You better have something useful to say." "How about I come with you?" he asked. "As I said, nothing useful!" I said turning around.

"Hey! I am useful!" he said. "Nicholas, if you come with me, I am going to have to make sure you are okay and I have to go get my nails done, I have to buy new clothes, and get an evening gown, then I need to pick up your suits Please don't make this hard for me," I said sighing. "How about we go get all of that done? I will be the chauffeur, you won't have to run around," he smirked. "I don't like where this is going, what is in your mind?" I asked as we walked out.

"And secondly you know walking in New York City is the best thing you could do. Times Square is not that far, I am going to walk so you can go home," I said. "I can walk." I rolled my eyes. "I don't know why you want to come with me, but please don't," I begged. "You are abandoning your best friend."

"Fine!" I said walking out. "Bye Frank, Good night," He smiled at me giving me a playful salute, and his eyes widened as I saw Nicholas looking at him. "Be nice!" I said playful hitting him on the shoulder. I walked down the streets as Nicholas walked beside me. "So where are we going first?" he asked.

"I want to get the shopping done first. It's near your designer," I said. We walked on the sidewalk between the people who were busy walking back to their houses and some tourists here to explore the famous Times Square. I could feel Nicholas walking very close to me and in ten minutes we reached the shop. H&M. I walked in and Nicholas followed. I walked into the formal aisle and looked through them. I picked up five tops and a salesgirl walked to me with a bag. I placed them on it.

Next, I grabbed four pairs of bottoms and put them in. In about ten minutes we were at the counter. "You are the quickest person to ever shop," Nicholas chuckled. "I know my sizes and I grabbed all that was comfortable and suitable." I got out my debit card and handed it to the cashier. "So that's all?" he asked. "No I need to buy some casual clothes, some suit jackets, an evening gown, and then shoes," I said. His eyes widened as I took my card and grabbed the bags. I laughed.

"Don't worry we have to go into four shops at the most," I said. "Let me get those," he said, grabbing the bags. "Why thank you," I said as we walked into Forever21 which was just beside H&M. I liked the clothes they had. Their collections always had something new. I grabbed a bag and put in a floral dress. But it would be cold, wouldn't it? I just shrugged. I then got a jumpsuit and two cute tops. I walked to the shoe section. Flats? I grabbed the yellow ones and looked at them.

"I don't think you will ever wear those." I jumped at his voice. His hands are in his pockets. "Where are the bags?" I was horrified. "The car is behind us, they are in there." I let out a sigh of relief. Rich guy. And grabbed a pair of short-block heels and white sneakers. We proceeded to check out. "Omg, you are Nicholas Knight!" The girl behind us squealed. Nicholas looked at her shocked. "What's a billionaire doing in here?" she asked, taking out her phone.

He just ignored her. "Is she your girlfriend?" she asked, smiling. "Best friend," he muttered. I quickly grabbed my bags and he pulled me with him. "Stupid fans," he muttered while putting the bags in the car. I chuckled. "Come on, let's get your suits," I said walking into Giorgio Armani. Super Rich guy. As I entered I went straight to his designer's cabin.

"Hi, Rachel!" I said going in. "Isabella! I haven't seen you in so long!" she said, hugging me. "I know! I have been running around doing other work," I shrugged. "Are they ready?" We both turned to Nicholas' deep voice. "You could have told me he is also here," she gritted in my ears. "Sorry," I said sheepishly. "Yes, Mr Knight, Please follow me," she said. We all walked out. To the VIP quarters and she opened the closet with her fingerprints. "As you said, ten suits," she said as she grabbed a remote and a door opened and the suits were hung on a rod which slowly came out the door.

I turned around. Ten suits? "Why the hell do you need ten suits?" I asked. "Shut up Isabella," he rolled his eyes as we went forward to examine them. Rachel pulled me aside. "Since when is he calling you by your first name? And what the hell was that?" she asked, shocked. I looked at her chuckling. Rachel was two years older than me. She was one of the best designers here.

She was almost as tall as me, dressed in suits always. She had blonde hair and we had been friends for two years now. "Long story, I will tell you next time I am here. For now, we are short on time," I chuckled. Two guards walked in and Nicholas signaled them to take the suits.

"Ahh, the payment," I said, taking out his checkbook. I wrote down the amount and it was already signed so I handed it to her. "Ahh, shopping spree," she smirked. "Enjoy," I chuckled as we walked out. "Anyways, have a good day, I will see you soon," I said. I turned around to see a beautiful gown. I walked to it speechless. "Beauty isn't it!" Rachel said squealing. " Wow. just wow," I said standing in front of it.

"Who's the genius?" I asked, still not taking my eyes off it. "Yours truly." I turned to her. "Really?" I said turning to her. "Yes, babe," she smiled. "Wow, good for you," I chuckled. "Ok, I need to leave," I said looking at the time. "How much is it?" Nicholas asked. My eyes popped out. "$20,000?" She said, And now my eyes nearly fell out. It was almost the entire month's salary. Nicholas looked at me.

"No," I said, knowing exactly what was going through his mind. "Why not?" he asked. "Are you stupid Nicholas? That's my entire month's salary!" I said. "But you are not paying!" he said. "And that is exactly why I don't want it!" I said. "Don't be stupid Ela!" he said. "Am I being stupid? You are being stupid!" I said. Was he out of his freaking mind? "Umm, Isabella, if you would feel less guilty I have something else for you," Rachel suggested.

"Thank you!" "But what is wrong with that?" Nicholas asked following us. "You Mr should know how to save money!" I said as we walked into another aisle. "I don't fucking need to," he snapped. "Nicholas, not now okay, you promised you wouldn't make this difficult for me," I said. "You are such a pain in the ass," he muttered. "Right, I am the pain in the ass," I said. Rachel stopped at another beautiful dress.

"I love it!" I said. "I know, this is so you!" It was a baby pink dress and god did it look beautiful. "Can't we go buy that one?" Nicholas asked impatiently. "I'll take this," I said. "$1,500," she said. Ah, that's fine for such a gorgeous dress. I handed her my debit card. She grabbed it and the dress and we followed her. "If you would just let me pay!" Nicholas said. "Nicholas If I ever spend so much money it would be on my wedding dress!" I snapped.

He looked at me blankly. "You should listen to him sometimes," Rachel said. "Oh come on you are on his side too? Rachel? You of all the people should know what being independent feels like," I said. "I know but if your boyfriend insists," she smirked. "He is not my boyfriend you idiot! Make the bill!" I said. Nicholas just rolled his eyes at us. Once we were done we said our goodbyes more than I did and we were walking out.

"Are we done?" he asked bored. "Let's eat something," I said as we walked to a cafe. "I am not hungry," he muttered. "If I leave you would starve to death, you know that?" I asked as we walked in, sitting at the table. "Good thing you aren't, isn't it?" he smirked sitting down. I gave him a fake smile at his snarkiness.

We ordered some food and started eating. "So what is this we are going to Greece for?" I asked. He told me all about the deal and business party we had to attend so I knew everyone before I could make the appointments. "So it's just rich people trying to make deals with one another?" I asked. He nodded while eating his dish. I heard giggling behind us and I turned around only to find Kevin and a girl I immediately turned back around. "Nicholas?" I said, trying not to laugh. He raised his eyebrow.

"Kevin is sitting with some random girl just behind us," I whispered. He bent over a little and smirked. "You know what let's do something," he smirked. He whispered something to me and I smiled. It's good to teach him how to settle down. I opened my hair and I walked to their table.

"Kevin! How could you do this to me?" I asked, trying to cry. "Bells?" he asked. "You are here with another girl after you promised to marry me?" I asked. "Bells what the hell?" "What did you say?" the girl got up. "Kevin, you promised me! You promised us! Me and our child!" I said holding my stomach. "You bastard!" She said, grabbing her stuff. "This poor girl loves you, why would you do that to her?" she asked. She grabbed the glass that had a little water left in it and splashed it on his face. Shit. And stormed out.

Kevin stood up wiping his face. "Isabella Kingston!" He shouted. The people that were looking at us stood up. Nicholas walked and stood between us chuckling. "Now you know what to not do on dates," Nicholas smirked. I grabbed his shoulders hiding behind him. "Get out of the way, I am going to kill her!" he shouted.

"Hey!" I pouted. "Why the fuck would you do that Isabella?" he asked. "It was Nicholas' idea!" I said. "Let's sit and talk," Nicholas said, grabbing us to our table. "Why would you do that?" He asked. "You need to treat women nicely!" I said defending myself. "I do! They want to do it! And I give them that!" he said. I cringed. "You should settle down, you know?" Nicholas said.

"I am going to take my revenge on you both, just wait and watch," he said, eating the food we ordered. We both just laughed. "Don't laugh! Kevin Jr is going to be sad tonight and it is your fault!" he snapped. "Eww!" I said, closing my eyes. "Wait, what are you both doing here?" he asked.

"Shopping," Nicholas replied. "What?" Kevin said, smirking at me. Oh, God. "You know that reminds me we have to go!" I said getting up. "Shopping for who?" Kevin asked as he grabbed me, sitting me back down.

"For her, we have to go to Greece tomorrow so she needed some dresses and I needed to get my suits," he said. "So you two went shopping together?" he asked. "Kevin, how about I set you up with someone?" I asked, trying to get out of it. "I would love that but this is a more interesting conversation, Bells," he said. "So did you guys buy each other something?" Kevin asked. Nicholas looked confused until his eyes darkened. "Kevin, you know what we should get going," Nicholas said, getting up and grabbing my hand. "Umm hmm," he smirked at both of us. Why do I think he knows something about both of us?

"Bye," I said as we walked out. "So anything else you need to buy?" he asked. "Nope, just a nail appointment," I said. "How long will it take?" he asked. "Twenty minutes?" I said as we neared the place. "I'll wait in the car," he said as we reached. "Thank you," I said as I tiptoed and kissed his cheek immediately walking in without looking at him. I blushed as I walked in. "Hi, Isabella Kingston, I have an appointment," I said. "Right, Jenny is your manicurist right?" she asked. I nodded.

"Jenny!" I said. "Ahh going somewhere, tomorrow?" she asked me in. "Yes, Greece," I said. I usually came to her and she knew I always had unexpected visits to make. "I am in a hurry today, can you do it faster?" I asked, putting my hand forward. "Yes, which color?" she asked. "Pastel pink and Golden?" I asked. She nodded. We talked as she did my nails.

In fifteen minutes we were done. I looked at them admiring them. "This is wonderful, thank you!" I said. I never did fake nails. My nails grew out pretty well so she shaped them and did her magic. I made the payment and walked out to find the car standing there.

I got in to see Nicholas talking on his phone. I waved while sitting down and he motioned for the driver to start. Ten minutes later he was done. "So now you are ready?" he asked. I nodded. "I'll get the files delivered to the airport that we need and the rest of the documents I have on my laptop I'll print them out at home," I said. He nodded. We soon reached my house. "I'll help you up," he said as he grabbed five bags and I grabbed two of them and my laptop bag. "Thank you so much! I got more work done and with ease!" I said.

"I know I got the reward for it," he said as we reached my house. I unlocked the door and switched on the lights. "What do you mean?" I said as we put the bag on the couch. He smirked. He walked toward me, making me gulp. "Good night, Ela," he whispered in my ears and kissed my cheek, and walked out as I froze in my place.
