5 HATE THAT I WANT YOU

*NICK'S POV*

I got exactly an hour to prepare my body and heart for whatever's going to happen tonight. The progress have been too fast but I think we both are ready for this. I'm a grown man so I should not back down from this.

Now that my breath is fresh as day, I grabbed my shaving kit and did what I had to do - removing all the unnecessary bushes. I smile at my own remark. I feel excited like its going to be my first time. She really gives off an intoxicating aura I can't just get tired off. I'm drugged by her love and I should sue her for making me an addict for life.

I look at my face one last time in front of the mirror and I'm satisfied on what I can see.

I have to make sure she falls in love with me, not just the other way around. I want her to feel satisfied with all that I do that she'll always want me and me only. I need her everything because she's the world to me.

Drowned in my thoughts, I remembered that she's going to be here any minute from now. I hurriedly cleaned up my mess, put on my regular clothes and sprayed a little bit of perfume on my neck and wrists then went out the bathroom and waited for the doorbell to ring.

Moments later, a notification popped up on my phone's screen.

"I have arrived and on my way to your apartment" was what it said on the text. Just thinking that's she's coming drives me mad, what more if she's going to be standing in front of me. I combed my hair with my fingers and finally, the most awaited bell was heard. I instantly opened the door and there she is, the goddess herself - Emily Scott.

"Hi" she sweetly greeted me.

"Hey. How are you?" I ask out of nervousness. I can even hear my voice cracking.

"Good! I hope you can make it great?" she chuckled. Her cheeks turned red and made her beautiful a thousand more times.

"As long as you'd allow me." I replied. I'm not backing down in this simple exchange of subtle flirtatious pleasantries. This is one of the things I'm good at.

"Please get inside and feel comfortable" I continued.

She takes off her black furry coat and hanged it. I can immediately see her curves. I love how her black long sleeve dress trace the form of her body, from her chest down to her hips. The knee length cloth did justice to this angel.

"I hope you haven't eaten somewhere yet." I stated after quenching my thirst.

"Not yet. Thanks for inviting me. I'm famished."

"The pleasure is mine.. and can I call you Em instead?" I asked and she nodded.

Emily wanted to have a good look of the place so I gave a quick tour starting with my studio. It's just a small room located at the left side of the receiving area.

"All magic happens here." I jokingly added as I was explaining to her the room design.

"Cool." was her short response.

I then showed her my entertainment quarter, the second largest room in my apartment. A 72" flat screen TV , mounted on the wall welcomed us upon entering. Two large speakers are placed at the opposite corners of the room facing the sofa bed for a nice sound effect. Few instruments also has there own section.

"This is a well thought arrangement."

"Yeah. Thanks." I proudly replied.

"I'll show you the rest, but let's eat for now." She agreed and we both head to the dining area.

To set the mood, I played a nice dinner music. Lighted the candles and dimmed the lights.

"Is that okay with you?" I inquired while I sit down at the table across her.

"It's Perfect" is her reply.

The dinner was a success. We talked a bit about work, her hobbies and a few funny childhood memories. At the end, she said she liked my cooking and even requested me to teach her some time. Ofcourse I agreed without any hesitation.

"Do you want to dance?" I extended my right hand and gladly she did not decline. It would have been embarrassing. I helped her stand up and brought her body close to mine.. just inches apart. Her floral scent perfume graced my nose and I can't help but to admire that.

"You smell great" I acknowledge in a low husky voice.

"You too." she smiles gently and as she said that, she squeezed my shoulders slightly and I know that's the sign.

I slowly leaned forward with my eyes fixated on her plump lips. Her lipgloss made it more enticing. Our lips touched and I felt no resistance from her so I continued.

"Have you ever imagined that there will be 'us' the first time we met?" Emily blurted, breaking off the heated momentum.

"Funny you asked that. I actually didn't."

"Right? Who would have thought that THE Great Nick Newman would fall in Love with someone like me?!" Her eyes shimmer as we stare at each other.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world right now."

"Sir Nick?! What are you muttering under your breath?!" Alfred barges in. I jolted and realized I was dreaming. What a bittersweet moment.

"Are you not feeling well Sir?" He added.

"All good Alfred. Don't mind me." I groaned 'cause I really suck. I can't even contain my lustful mind?. I HATE THAT I'M WANTING HER like this when I don't even know if this is Love or just my body talking. I also have not chatted with her on a personal level. This is insane.

"Let's have dinner. Find a good place nearby where I can drink a hot bowl of soup."

"It will be my pleasure Sir Nick. Why the sudden crave?"

"I need to wash out my shame."

"I dont really understand but okay. It was a good thing I decided to drive you home though. You were fast asleep and now, I get to eat with you."

"Yeah you're right!" I sarcastically agreed to his comment.

"Was the meeting that stressful?"

I decided not to answer anymore. I took off my coat, covered my wet pants and just closed my eyes.

I DESPISE HER
