"NICHOLAS, WAKE UP." I YELLED IN HIS EAR.

HE SLOWLY OPENED HIS EYES.

"W - WHAT H - HAPPENED?" HE STUTTERED AS HE SAT STRAIGHT ON BED. 

HE LOOKED AT ME WITH A GLARE. "WHO TOLD YOU TO WAKE ME UP FROM MY PEACEFUL SLEEP?"

"SLEEP? HOW MUCH WILL YOU SLEEP? YOU HAVE A MEETING WITH MEGHAN, OWNER OF THE GREY CORPORATIONS. DID YOU FORGET?"

"WAIT, WHAT? YOU REMEMBER IT? THEN WHY DON' T I?"

I TOOK A TOWEL FROM HIS CLOSET AND THREW IT AT HIM. "GO AND HAVE A SHOWER. I DON' T HAVE TIME TO ANSWER ALL YOU NONSENSE STUFF." I SMIRKED AT HIM. "AND DON' T DARE TO CHEAT ON ME. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT I MEAN. 

"WHO' S GONNA TRY TO CHEAT ON MRS. LINDA ANDERSON?" HE SCOFFED AND WENT TO THE WASHROOM FOR A SHOWER. 

I SMILED AT HIS BEHAVIOUR. 

ALTHOUGH I LIKED HIS SWEET BEHAVIOUR, HIS RUDE BEHAVIOUR ALSO SEEMED CUTE TO ME. 

OH, MAN! 

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME? 

DID I INDULGE TO MUCH WITH HIM DURING THESE PAST FEW DAYS? 

I DIDN' T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR MY OWN QUESTIONS. 

AFTER NICHOLAS CAME OUT OF THE WASHROOM, I WENT FOR A SHOWER. 

I CHANGED MY CLOTHES AND WORE A MINI DRESS. 

I CAME OUT OF THE WASHROOM ONLY TO FIND NICHOLAS WORKING ON HIS COMPUTER.

"WILL YOU GO TO WORK OR DO I HAVE TO TAKE YOU?" I ASKED HIM.

"I GUESS TAKING ME THERE WOULD BE BETTER."

I ROLLED MY EYES.

"COME ON, GIRL. DON' T GO MAD AT ME. I' M JUST JOKING."

"YEAH, YEAH. I KNOW." I SAT BESIDE HIM AND RUFFLED HIS UNTIDY HAIR.

HE PLACED HIS HAND ON MINE AND SQUEEZED IT. 

I ENJOYED THE WARMTH OF HIS HAND. 

"I WON' T GO TO THE OFFICE FOR THE MEETING." HE SAID.

"WHY NOT?"

"I CALLED MEGHAN TO OUR PLACE."

"YOU MEAN............."

"YES. THE MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE IN THIS HOUSE."

"WHAT THE FUCK? YOU DIDN' T TELL ME. DON' T I HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW?"

"LINDA. BABE, PLEASE."

"NO, DON' T CALL ME BABE."

"YOU' VE NO RIGHT TO BE MAD AT ME."

"BUT I' M MAD. PALM - TWITCHINGLY MAD."

"WHY DO WE ALWAYS END UP ARGUEING WHENEVER WE TALK?"

"IT' S BECAUSE OF YOU." I POINTED MY FINGER AT HIM.

"OK. FINE. I' M THE REASON." HE BROUGHT ME CLOSE AND KISSED ME FERVENTLY.

"NICHOLAS" I SAID, TRYING TO BREATH. 

FINALLY HE STOPPED.

"IF WE ARGUE AGAIN OR YOU GO MAD AT ME THEN YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES, RIGHT.

"YOU CAN' T DO THAT TO ME." I STARED AT HIM WITH PAIN. "KISSING ME IS NOT THE ANSWER TO END UP AN ARGUMENT OR FIGHT."

"I' M SORRY, LINDA. I JUST - "

BEFORE HE COULD COMPLETE HIS SENTENCE THERE WAS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

SARAH CAME IN. "SIR, A WOMAN HAS COME. SHE CALLS HERSELF MEGHAN AND SHE' S IMPATIENT TO MEET YOU. SHE IS YELLING AT OTHERS. YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING."

"THAT FUCKING WOMAN!" I GROWLED. "I' LL TIE HER UP, LOCK HER IN A ROOM AND TORTURE HER TO DEATH. I' VE HAD ENOUGH OF HER."

"HEY. LINDA. CALM YOURSELF. WE HAVE A MEETING TO HANDLE. SARAH, PLEASE MAKE HER SIT COMFORTABLY IN MY PRIVATE HALL."

SARAH LEFT THE ROOM IMMEDIATELY.
