Chapter 13

A loud sound woke me up from my amazing sleep.

Nick was about to kiss me and I was intensely waiting for it. I was ready to kiss him back with everything in me.

Oh my God! I'm going crazy. Did I just dream of Nick? This shouldn't be happening.

Who could be calling me so early? Everyone knows not to mess with my sleep! I'm literally a sleeping princess.

I picked up my phone grudgingly and snapped immediately.

" What?" I asked as soon as I answered.

" Well aren't you a ball of sunshine darling?" The voice on the other line spoke. I could recognize the voice of that monster anywhere. I immediately stilled.

" M-Mr K-king?" I said my voice laced with fear . He honestly scared me. I couldn't help it.

" Of course darling. Were you expecting someone else?" He asked.

" N-no, just that it's ..it's 6am in the morning and I didn't.." he immediately cut me off

" Whatever. Let's just get to the reason why I called. Didn't you think it was important to tell me you were leaving for Italy with that asshole?" He said in a calm but angry tone.

" I-It was v-very sudden. I d-didn't k.." he interrupted me. Again.

Very Rude.

" Can you stop stuttering? What's wrong with you?" He thundered and I became afraid again. I couldn't even speak. Why was he so mean?

" Do I scare you?" He asked again calmly and I nodded my head like he could see me. I really wanted to cry right now. Call me a baby but I don't care.

" Answer me Arianna." He said sternly

" Y-yes." I whispered.

" Does Nick scare you?" He asked after a while of silence. I replied almost immediately . Nick doesn't scare me. He's sweet and amazing. Well, except when he's angry but I've gotten used to that. I don't think he'd ever hurt me.

" No."

I heard something break and he muttered a curse under his breath.

" A-Are you okay Mr King?" I asked and all I heard was harsh breathing.

" I'm- I have to go Arianna. The next time you have to leave, make sure I'm notified and you answer your phone . I don't want to waste my time coming to your house because you can't answer your goddamn cellphone!" He roared.

He went to my house? I hope Tammy didn't see him. I hope he didn't say anything to her. Oh my God!

" And no. I didn't tell your stupid sister anything. I found out about your whereabouts by myself. You're running out of time missy. Do something fast. I'm losing my patience here." He said and hung up.

I felt tears rolling down my cheek and I wiped them off quickly. I won't let him ruin my day. He can't. I took a shower and decided to call Melanie for my daily updates about Tammy before breakfast.

" Hey Girl! What's up? How's Italy with Mr. Hot shot?" She asked once she picked up.

Why she so happy so early in the morning? Oh I forgot. She's a morning person.

" It's amazing Mel! Oh my God you need to see the places we went yesterday! They were so beautiful. And he was so sweet. You know he took me on his bike ? It was so cool. We took so many pictures..."

" Oh my God I'm jealous already. Enough enough . I get it. You have the hots for him whatever.." she said rolling her with a small smile on her lips.

I blushed instantly. I know I have the hots for him but I don't need anyone rubbing it in my face.

" Fuck! She's blushing ! Means I'm right. Have you guys done it yet?" She asked squealing .

" Stop! Done what?"

" You know.. it.." She said wiggling her eyebrows suggestively and I soon understood what she was saying and my eyes widened.

" My gosh Mel! No. He's my boss. We're not in that type of relationship.."

" So you're in a relationship then.."

" Stop! " I yelled at her covering my face with my hands . Mel always teased me about everything and I couldn't help but blush at her remarks. Not because I'm offended but simply because I keep thinking of the scenarios..

" Okay Okay. I'm sorry. We'll talk about that later.." she said " Well your sister is getting a lot better. She doesn't even need the wheelchair now. But she's pretty sad you know? She misses you. I think you should talk to her. What was the problem anyway?"

" Nothing important." I lied.

" Bitch , I can see right through you." She said raising her brow.

" I'll tell you when I get back. I don't want to talk about it this early in the morning ."

" It's 7am. That's not early."

" Shut up." I said rolling my eyes and she laughed.

" Hey, Guess who I'm with right now?"

" Um Drake?" I asked. She has an unhealthy obsession with Drake. She dreams of being his baby mama everyday. And I mean everyday.

" No! You'll see. Hang up so I can call you on skype."

" Alright." I said and hung up.

I dropped my phone on the bed and walked to the table with my laptop on it.( Nick's gift.) I opened it and logged into my skype and soon Mel called me again. I picked it up and Mel's face popped up on the screen.

She was with Tyler!

" Oh my God! Tyler!" I screamed when I saw him. Tyler was my other best friend. He's about 3 years older than Mel and I. We were really close until he moved away and I lost contact with him. He's friends with Mel's brother and because of that we became close too especially when we started going to the same college.

I missed us hanging out together so I was so excited to see him on that screen.

" Heyy Beautiful . Wassup!" He said in that sexy voice with a smirk.

" Don't you 'beautiful' me! You never ever called me Ty! You just disappeared with no trace !" I scolded him and he seemed guilty.

" I'm sorry beautiful . I really am. I'll make It up to you and tell you everything. How about I pick you up ? We could go to our favorite spot."

" Aww! I miss that place and I really want to but unfortunately I'm not in town."

" Where are you?" He asked curiously.

" I'm on a business meeting with my boss. Sorry Ty." I told him apologetically.

If I wasn't on this stupid trip , I'd be chilling with my two best friends! Ugh! Nick DeMorgane!

Don't act like your not having fun bitch. You even saw the Colosseum. Ungrateful bitch.

Shut up ! Shut up inner self! I just hate you.

" Um guys? I'm still here okay? Can y'all stop with the puppy dog faces? " Mel interrupted.

I really forgot she was there. I laughed and shook my head and we apologized simultaneously.

" Mel why aren't you at your apartment?"

" Cuz I'm spending the weekend with this douche." She said smacking his head and I chuckled at her behavior.

" Woman! Can you stop hitting me? I swear this is the eighth time this morning" He grumbled.

" Aw! I wish I was there with you guys ."

" I miss you too beautiful ." He said looking at me with a smile on his lips and I smiled at him back.

" You guys done with the eye-fuck? Great. We can get back to the conversation." Mel said looking at us back and forth and rolling her eyes while I blushed profusely.

Mel and everyone else always said Tyler had a thing for me but I never believed them. I thought of him as an older brother I never had and I'm sure he thought about me like a little sister too.

But staring at the look in his eyes made me want to think twice.

Does Ty really have feelings for me?

Mel excused herself to answer a phone call while Ty and I continued talking. I was laughing at something he said when we were soon interrupted.My door flew open and Nick came in.

He looked at me and then looked at my screen and clenched his fists. He looked pretty mad.

He walked over to me and shut down my laptop and pulled me up from my chair.

" Wha- why the hell did you do that?" I yelled at him. I was in the middle of a discussion and he just shut down my computer rudely .

" Come downstairs . Your breakfast is ready." He ignored my question completely and I got even angrier.

" I'm not going anywhere without you answering me. Why did you do that? That's very rude! You have no right to interrupt my call like that !"

" I'm not going to say this again. Come downstairs for breakfast." He said and I could clearly see he was withholding his wrath.

Ha!

" And I said I'm not going anywhere!" I retorted angrily.

" Fine. You leave me with no choice." He said and in a split second he threw me over his shoulder and walked downstairs.

I squealed and hit on his back repeatedly. " Put me down! Put me down you asshole! Gosh I hate you!"

" You hate me huh? How will you feel if I slap your fine ass? Huh? Will you hate me more?" He said while touching it and my cheeks warmed up.

" Stop! Put me down!" I yelled at him again.

" Fine." He said and placed me on the counter and stood between my legs while holding my waist in place.

He was so close to me I could feel him breathing. Even with me on the counter, he was still taller than me. He was staring into my eyes and I was lost in his.

God! He's so handsome. Is he even real?

I suddenly remembered that I was mad at him and pushed him away jumping down from the counter. Obviously my cheeks are red but I'm still pissed. I sat at the table and folded my hands on my chest.

That's when I realized that I was only wearing a tank top and shorts. My legs were on display all this while and the action caused my cleavage to show. I mustered up a bit of courage and let him look at it.

" Eat." He said putting a plate of pancakes in front of me.

" No." I said stubbornly with my hands still folded noticing his gaze on chest.

Just then, my stupid stomach decided to grumble. God! How embarrassing.

" I'm not hungry."

" Just eat Ariane. It's not going to kill you. You're stomach loudly says otherwise." He said with a hint of amusement.

I blushed in embarrassment and started eating.

He sat down and we kept on staring at each other . I didn't even ask why he wasn't eating. I didn't care today.

" What business meeting is so important that you had to barge into my room this morning Mr DeMorgane?" I asked irritation laced in every word I said.

" We're back to 'DeMorgane' now huh?" He asked looking slightly pissed and slightly amused.

" So? What is it you want me to do for you today Sir?" I asked noticing how angry he was getting.

" Just fucking eat in silence. We have no business meeting today ."

" I'm starting to think this wasn't a business trip . We haven't even met any of your partners." I said swallowing food.

" Well it isn't." He stated and I my hand froze on the glass of water I was about drinking.

This wasn't a business trip ? So he took me all the way to the other side of the world for nothing? I wasn't going to let this slide.

" Excuse me?" I said narrowing my eyes at him. " What did you say?"

" Nothing. Keep eating. I'll go grab a shower." He said looking nervous and standing.

" No no mister. You better answer my questions right now." I stood up too and pushed him back to his seat with my hands.

His skin was warm and muscular everywhere. God , I wish I could run my hands all over him .

Not now!

I stood in front of him and folded my hands.

" Can you repeat that Mr. DeMorgane? This isn't a business trip?" I asked him.

"Hmm. I like this side of you. All bossy and sexy.." he said raking his eyes all over me.

Don't blush! Don't blush!

You stupid idiot, you just had to!

He's trying to distract you Ari!

Right.

Maybe I should be bossy more often if he finds it attractive.

Focus.

" Stop trying to distract me Mr. DeMorgane! It's not gonna work!"

" Really? I see it working already." He said giving me that sexy arrogant smirk.

" Ugh! Stop it! Now tell me the truth. Is this a business trip?" I asked more seriously ignoring the tomato look I'm probably sporting.

He looked defeated and sighed.

" No."

Oh my God! He really brought me all the way here for nothing. Although I did enjoy my stay.

" What? So what? I'm the boss and I can do whatever the hell I want with my employees. Don't act like you didn't enjoy it. It's way better than a weekend with your stupid boyfriend anyways." He said standing up and walking closer to me. I instinctively stepped back while he kept walking towards me until my back hit the counter.

So that's what this is about. He didn't want me to spend a weekend with my inexistant boyfriend. Is he jealous? I think he is.

" Are you jealous?" I blurted out before I realized and his eyes shifted from anger to fury.

What? I'm the person that's supposed to be mad here!

" Jealous? Jealous? You've got to be fucking kidding me." He let out a humorless chuckle that was sexy but really irritating.

" Why the fuck would I be jealous of that stupid asshole you were laughing with this morning? I didn't know your were idiotic enough to think that. You should know by now that jealously isn't in my vocabulary." He said looking into my eyes .

Idiotic? What happened to 'you're the smartest person I know?'

Just empty words.

That hurt. It really did.

" Well I'm sorry for assuming Mr DeMorgane. I won't make such and idiotic mistake again." I said pushing him away and walking to out to the garden trying to withhold my tears.

I really am stupid and idiotic. Why would I believe him so much? Why did hearing it from him hurt so much?

Ugh I hate having feelings!

I kept walking and walking until I meet a beautiful field of flowers .

" Shit. Ariane. I didn't mean it." He yelled coming after me.

The pig can't even apologize properly. I rolled my eyes and walked through the field picking flowers and smelling them .

They smelt amazing .

" I didn't mean what I said. Just listen to me Ariane. " he said coming closer.

" Please just leave me alone Mr. DeMorgane." I said turning to face him. He had already reached me. How fast is he?

He held my arm and pulled me to his chest.

" I meant what I said yesterday Ariane. You are the smartest person I've ever met and.. and I don't know what made me call you an idiot..." he said looking at me.

" Well..That's a nice apology... I don't know if I forgive you yet. Those were some hurtful words you said back there.." I said looking at him.

" I wasn't apologizing and you have to forgive me. It's an order." He said with the same expression.

He just had to ruin it. I pulled away from him and got even madder

" Well too bad Mr. DeMorgane. You think you're all powerful and all and you can compel people to forgive you and accept the crap you do? Well news flash Mr DeMorgane, I'm an excepti-" I was cut off when he suddenly pulled me to his chest again and smashed his lips to mine.

Oh

My

Frickin

God!

Nick DeMorgane is kissing me! I was still shocked and my eyes were wide open. He bit on my bottom lip asking for permission and my lips were shut.

" Open up for me Ariane" he murmured pulling me even closer.

I did as he said and before I knew , I was kissing him back.

This is a surreal experience. He took his time kissing me nice and soft and I couldn't help but kiss back. My hands were flat on his chest while his were on my waist.

We kept on kissing like our lives depended on it. He was rough yet gentle and I loved it. I loved every second of it .I didn't even know I could kiss like that! I noticed how he mumbled between the kiss and it caused me to moan.

Oh!

He bit my bottom lip and sucked it letting out a groan. We pulled away and he looked at me.

" I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I really am. For everything too." He said looking at me.

I was dazed. All I could think of was his lips on mine. It was nothing compared to my expectation. Trust me, all these books are lying .. the real thing is exquisite! It was like 4th July fireworks but more! Oh my God! I want it again.

Hold up missy. It's just business. Don't forget that .

Right.

I nodded my head and he smiled. I smiled too and he pulled me closer to him.

" How about we continue this.." he said kissing me again.

Dear Jesus.

".. upstairs in my room.." he said nibbling my bottom lip.

Yes yes yes

"..or yours, if you want.." he said kissing me on my jaw going down to my neck . Then it registered in my mind. He wants me to sleep with him?

What does he think of me? Like a whore?

That's so rude!

I've never slept with anyone and I don't know what to do!

Does it hurt?

Oh God! I can't

I pulled away and he frowned.

" I-I- um.." I trailed off.

" What's wrong? "

" Umm.. I.."

" Are you on your ?..." He asked looking at me strangely.

" My what?" I asked him. What is he talking about?

" You know.. your.. your p-?" He asked looking flustered.

" What? You mean my period?"

" Ahh! Don't say that word! " he said getting all red and covering his eyes.

I laughed and looked at him.

" What's wrong with the word 'period'?" I asked him.

" C'mon Ariane. Stop saying that word. It's just- just- ugh!" He said and I laughed again. After I cooled down from my laughing fit, he looked at me and then picked a flower and put it in my hair.

" Beautiful." He said looking at me and I blushed.

" C'mon let's get back to the house. They must be looking for us." He said holding my hand as we walked through the field and back to the house.

I unconsciously kept on touching my lips. I smiled to myself and walked along with him.

Needless to say, my heart can't stop beating.

Bam Bam Bam.
