Chapter-18-"I can't wait for tonight till I win"

Pauline June's POV

It's lunch time and Nick is still working. He is typing furiously on his laptop. I just sat on the sofa as my ankle is hurting a little. But the pain is less compared to morning. I can move it now.

"Is it better now?", he asked looking at me.

"Yeah", I said nodding. After he gave a light massage, it felt very better.

"Shall I massage it again?", he asked while shutting his laptop and putting the cap on his pan as he stood up and came near me.

"No, no. I am fine and thank you for the massage". He sat beside me.

"You are welcome. Anytime Baby girl", he said taking my legs and putting them in his lap again.

There was a comfortable silence between us when his phone rang. He took it out from his pocket as I just stared at him. He saw the ID and he smiled. I gave him a confused look as he looked at me with the smiled. He answered the call and put the near his ear.

"Hey Princess!", he said and I smiled too. It's Amelia. He then put the phone on speaker as he put the phone between us. Then I heard her happy voice.

"Hi Pauline!", she chirped. I instantly grinned.

"Hi Amelia!".

"Listen! Tonight there is a party on the occassion of me getting pregnant and Zack getting the biggest project that he always wanted. I will message you the venue and you both must and should come! It's going to be so much fun!", she said excitedly. She said everything so faslty that I almost didn't understand some words. I just laughed at her along with Nick.

"We will come", I said and Nick agreed too.

"Good and Nick. You can invite your friends to the party. It's been almost a year since I met them. It will be so good to have everyone back again!", she said and my smile disappeared. Nick looked at me.

"I will see about it", he spoke into the phone.

"Okay and come there by seven O' clock".

"Okay".

"Oh! I almost forgot. The dress code is black. Althought it's Zack who wanted black color as a dress code", she said. We heard her giggling to something Zack said. "Okay. You guys be there. Bye!", she said and cut the call.

Nick put his phone back in his pocket and I just sat there staring at my hands. Will all his friends be there?

"Baby girl, I will not call them if you will feel uncomfortable due to their presense", he said pulling me closer. Am I ready to face them? It's Amelia's party. If she wants them there, then they should. I don't want to ruin her party. Also I can't just avoid them forever. I should face them one day. Let it be today.

"No Nick. It's okay. Call them. I really don't mind".

"Are you sure?".

"Yes. I am".

"Okay. But what about your ankle?".

"Nick, I said it's better. I can walk normally now. It almost healed", I told him looking at it. He kissed my cheek as I am sitting on his lap side way.

"Let's go for lunch", he said getting up with me still in his arms. He slowly put my feet on the ground and I stood up normally.

"Thank you", I told him while smoothing my dress. I ran and hand through my hair. All the while Nick stared me. "What?", I asked him. He leaned down to my ear.

"You look hot. Very hot", he whispered and bit my ear lobe gently. I blushed and pushed him away.

"Nick!".

"Me ten. You, still five".

"No! Actually, my score is six", I said while walking to the door.

"How?". He followed me out to the lift.

"You got jealous when Mark carried me here and fired him".

"That doesn't count!".

"Oh it does", I said pressing the lift button.

"No!".

"Yes and I will gain another point if you will not give him his job back", I said hoping he will fall for it and give him his job back.

"I don't care!", he grumbled while pulling me to him by my waist.

"Nick please", I pleaded. I will feel very guilty if he lost his job because of me and that too for helping me.

"No. I said it and it's final", he said arrogantly while looking at his watch to see the time. I thought about it. May be I can seduce him. I thought and smiled evilly. We are still in the lift. The lift dinged indicating that we reached the last floor.

He led us out and we sat in his car. He started driving to where I don't know. Right now, I don't even care. I looked at him and saw him driving. I slowly turned to him and put my hand on his chest. His head snapped at me. He stared me wide eyed since I for the first time made a move to touch him.

"What are you doing?", he asked calmly. I bit my lip trying to look sexy and slowly slid the hand down on his thigh. He gulped and I wanted to laugh at him, but held myself. I moved forward and whispered in his ear.

"You look sexy when you are angry", I whispered, trying his own trick on him and kissed his neck. He stopped near the traffic signals. He closed his eyes.

"Oh you are going to be the death of me", he said. I grinned. It's working!

"Then-", I started, but he cut me off.

"If you are doing this to ask me to let Mark have his job back, then don't. I will not", he said with his eyes still closed. I instantly pulled my hand back, sitting back.

"But Nick-".

"No. I don't want to hear anything".

"Fine! If you don't give him his job back.... I will not talk with you", I said folding my hands near my chest and turned my head away. This is definitely going to work!

"No! Baby girl! He carried you up to my cabin! Only I can hold you like that!", he said as he started to drive again.

"Then what do you want him to do? Drag me upstairs as I am not able to walk?", I asked loking at him. He just stared ahead. He clenched his jaw.

"Fine. He can have his job back. I will tell my assistant to call him", he said staring st the road.

"Thank you", I said grinning.

"You are not welcome", I heard him say. He is still angry.

"I am sorry".

"If you are truly sorry, show me".

"How?", I asked with a confused expression.

"Do what you did a few seconds ago". I gasped and hit his arm.

"Nick!", I shouted.

"What? I didn't say anything wrong. Also you were enjoying what you did", he teased. I blushed and looked down.

"Stop it!", I said and the car stopped. I saw that we came to a hotel.

He opened my door and gave me his hand. I took it and we walked inside. We went and sat near a booth. Nick sat beside me. The waiter came and gave us menus. I took it flipped two pages, but Nick already ordered for us both. I was about to protest, but stopped when I heard him ordering my favorite dish. I put the menu aside.

"You still remember my favorite dish?", I asked looking at him as the waiter left.

"Of course I remember. Why wouldn't I?", he said taking my hand. I smiled at him. The waiter brought us the dished we ordered and my mouth watered looking at the plate. I ate two spoons when I felt a hand on my thigh. I tried to ignore it and kept eating when the hand started moving top. I stopped eating and looked at Nick. He is eating normally.

I took his hand and put it on the table. He again put his hand on my thigh, his thumb drawing circles. I tried to concentrate on what I am eating. But I can't. He saw my face and smirked. I glared at him.

"Baby girl, are you okay?", he asked with fake concern. I can still see the smirk on his face.

"Nick! Stop it!", I whispered. His hand went almost to my core and rubbed my inner thigh. I pressed my legs together.

"Stop what? I didn't do anything", he said innocently. Anyone would easily believe him.

"Nick! You know what!", I said. He is stopping his smile.

"Oh! You want to stop this?", he said still rubbing my inner thigh.

"Nick!", I said in a warning tone. He shrugged eating his food. I was about to eat mine, when his hand touched my core. I jumped in my seat in shock. He laughed, but stopped immediately.

"What happeend?", he asked liek he have no clue.

"I will kill you if you don't stop it", I said taking his hand before placing it on the table again and turned back to eat my food. I felt him lean to me. I felt his breathe on my neck.

"Me eleven, you six. I can't wait for tonight till I win", he whispered and I stilled. I looked at him and found him eating with an evil smirk on his face.

Oh God, please help me!
