Chapter 13

Nick's perspective

"Come in, Dana" I say as I hear a rapping at my door. I've been working on my presentation for Dolscorp Inc since I got home. So many things have been happening since I've bought this shit company and I can't help but think there is something dirty going down.
"Not Dana" I hear Talia walk in. I turn and she is  in my favorite button down blue shirt and work out shorts holding a plate with a delicious smelling steak, eggs and asparagus. She looks sexy as hell with her curves slightly showing and her breast is almost falling out of a missed button. I snap out of my staring and take the plate from her.
"Hmm, who would have thought your bedroom would have a desk in it, where Is your bed?" She asked looking around.
"In those doors" I said as I cut into the delicious steak and take a bite
"Woah" I hear and glance up as I'm savoring the steak in my mouth. Dana has never made a steak this good and this concoction at 3am is definitely Talias idea.

"Hey, ever hear of private spaces?" I say laughing.
"Yeah, but your room is awesome. You have a telescope and a lot of swords and knives in here" I hear Talia yell.

"You really own a khopesh? Is it real?" Talia comes out examining an old Egyptian sword in her hand. Who is this woman?
"Yes, very much so. How do you know what that is?" I ask as I finish my last bite of steak.
"Knives and swords are like the English language to me." She shrugs and simply walks it back to where she found it.
"Hm, I like collecting things" I said before turning back to my presentation.
"How was the steak? Whatcha working on?" She says and hovers over me.

"Best I've ever tasted. Whatever Dana did this time tell her to keep it up." I replied and continued with working.
"Thanks. I made it. She definitely enjoyed it too, I sent her to bed." Talia said as she jumped onto my bed

"Why aren't you in bed?" I say and turn toward her.
"Tally?" I get up and find her sprawled across my bed asleep.
She was something else, beautiful and when she was asleep her smart mouth was nonexistent.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I woke up to the sound of birds and the best sleep I'd ever had. My eyes were groggy still and I felt something heavy on my chest when trying to sit up but I couldn't. I looked over and saw Nick sleeping, clothed laying on his stomach and his arm resting on my chest. I lifted it off and went for a cigarette to find I didn't have any. Last Night I fell asleep on Nick's bed. I got up and grabbed the plate from last night to take to the kitchen. I found Dana making breakfast.
"Good morning, did you sleep well? I hope your bed was comfortable" Dana said with a smile while flipping a pancake.
"Nick's was, I fell asleep there, anyone I can talk to about getting some cigarettes and some beer?"
I said as I poured a glass of orange juice.
"That'd be our guards, miss." An unrecognized voice came from the entry of the kitchen.
"You must be Talia" I looked over at the man he had gorgeous,kind,forest green eyes, his hair brown and he was taller than Nick.
"Who is he? And you would be?" I said taking the orange juice to my mouth and drinking it.

"Fallon Harrison, my dear brother didn't tell you about me?" He said holding his heart in false distress.

"No, but then again he is my boss. What exactly is there to tell anyway?" I say finishing my orange juice and walking to the stool to sit. Dana is smirking trying not to laugh.

"Hm, very well. You must get ready soon then, we have to go." He said in a huff and walked away
"Go where?" I say to Dana as she's putting pancakes on the plate.
Shrugging Dana sets up eggs on the grill in front of her.
"So, what am I changing into?" I ask
"You have clothes upstairs, they were brought this morning." Dana says and starts humming a tune.
"What time is it?" I ask standing from the stool. If I needed to go dress I'd better shower first.
"Almost noon, I was a little late getting your room set up." She said smiling.
"Thanks, I appreciate that" I said and walked up the stairs to my room.

Walking in my room the comforters and curtains were changed to a plain black. The clothes in the closet were all my style. Black ripped jeans and a lot of t-shirts. There were dresses my style as well. Knee high boots in blacks and reds, military boots, high heeled shoes with skulls, even a few office type outfits for work which I don't know if I'm ever going back to.
I picked a pair of black red skull, red laced underwear with a matching bra, a red laced tank top, black hoodie and some ripped jeans.
I picked a pair of some kneehigh red laced black boots and took myself to the shower.

The shower was the most exhilarating, refreshing shower I'd ever experienced. In a regular shower your butt gets cold, but standing under this shower my whole body was washed.
I stepped out to dry off and noticed my feet were warm..
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" I whispered under my breath.
"No, not kidding!" I hear nick in the bedroom, as my whisper must've been louder than I thought.
Heated floors hit my feet as I dried my body and wrapped the towel around myself. I looked in the big mirror and saw how my hair needed a nice brushing. I walk to the bedroom door and crack it open to find Nick sitting on the bed next to my clothes.
"You have an extra brush and how do you expect me to get dressed with you sitting in here?" I say pointing to the clothes sitting on the bed.

"New tooth brush under the sink, brush there too, just thought I'd let you know you're going to check on your friend today, so hurry up." Nick said standing from the bed.

"Also, here, nice choice" handing me the bra and underwear.

"Thanks, perv" I said, taking the undergarments and slamming the door.

I shimmied the underwear on and then put the bra on the sink. Afterwards I covered my scars on my rib with a foundation I found. No one ever sees my sides but it bothers me. I put on my Bra, brush out my hair, brush my teeth and step out into the bedroom to get my clothes on.
" I knew you were a perv" I say as I walk out covering my chest.
"Sorry, I was just waiting and forgot to tell you to grab a pancake for the road" Nick says standing in the bedroom doorway, covering his face with his hand.
"Good. You told me, now get the hell out so I can change" I said throwing a nearby object at him causing him to shut the door on his quick exit.

I throw on the clothes and boots. Opening the door, Fallon is walking down the hallway.
"Are we ready? Nick is in the kitchen waiting" He says as he's headed toward the steps.
We enter the kitchen and a thermos with pancakes in a container  is sitting on the counter.
"For the road" Nick says standing from the stool he was sitting on, grabbing the thermos and container with three cups.
Once we were in the car Fallon got a call and he was speaking with someone in another language in the front seat.  We took a bodyguard to drive as Nick and I sat in the back
Nick was dipping pancakes in his coffee and I was smoking a cigarette out the window.
"So what's the plan?" I said after a while.

"The bodyguards are following behind us to your friends and then we're going to my place " Fallon says as Nick is still stuffing his face. 
"Is she coming with us? Why are we going to your place? Where is your place?" I asked in one breath
"Jeesh, you are inquisitively annoying aren't you" Fallon says laughing
"Fuck you" I say and flip him off.
" ohh, spicy one too. I like her. Wonder if she's like this in bed too" Fallon says laughing and looking at the bodyguard and Nick.
Nick kinda chokes on his coffee as he was taking a sip.
I smack Fallon in the back of the head
"Ouch..fucking bi…"
" I wouldn't call her that if I were you, I've seen what she does, be happy it was a smack in the head and not a fist" Nick says laughing and watching the scowl redden on my face.
The bodyguard laughs and Fallon looks like a crying schoolboy.
"To answer your question, Yes she is coming with us, his place is in town so he needs clothes, he'll be staying at the mansion." Nick says and finishes off his coffee.

We finally arrived after two hours of driving.

"Welp, we're here. Go in and fill her in and we'll be here. Luther will accompany you" Fallon says

Before I could say anything my door opened and the bodyguard driving who is a tall muscular man with a shiny bald head waited for me to step out of the car. Running to the front door past Luther, the door was agape. 

"V!" I yelled
