TEACH ME NOT 2 HATE LOVE

50

🧑Nik Anthony POV🧑

The minute I set foot inside my house, which was a little past seven p.m. Alright, it's almost eight o'clock. Tajea attacked me like a wild animal. Her fury was beyond the level of the mortal realm right now. So you know this is a very serious matter.

Now, as to why she was so furious with me, well, it's because I didn't make it back before her time to get out of here. And to make matters worse, I smell like beer. McCarty is to blame for that. But rest assured, I only had two or three beers. So I'm not all that out of it. I think.

Anyway, while she was carrying on all rude and biting off my head—taking things out of proportion like she always does—I couldn't stop thinking about:

One, How lovely and magical she looks tonight.

Don't get me wrong, she's always mind-blowingly gorgeous, despite her unusual and unique dress code. But right now, it's like there is a light showering her, revealing her true beauty to my eyes.

She's looking like those angels I've seen and read about in books. Absolutely perfect and flawless. My angel that was sent to drive me nuts, that is.

Two: The taste of her lips that is like a hypnotic tune. A beacon pulling me in, tempting me to devour them. How they feel against mine—soft, moist, and honey-flavored, no doubt.

Three: The feeling of her delicate frame in my arms—caressing and kissing her beautiful, soft melanin skin.

And four: her beneath me, screaming my name in pleasure.

Bloody hell, I think I just had a braingasm.

"Are you even listening to me?" Tajea pulled my right ear, bringing me back to reality.

Dang, that hurt.

"And just what are you thinking inside that head of yours?" She looked down a bit nervously at my crotch, which was bulging more than usual.

"Nothing," I uttered, a bit uneasy, hiding my boner. As if that makes any sense at all.

Over the short period of time since she's been working here. She has at least seen me have a hard-on three to four times. Maybe even more than that. She even saw me fully naked twice. And yet, here I am feeling embarrassed and shy in a situation like this. Grow up, Nik.

Tajea just acted like she saw nothing, made eye contact with me, and said, "Anyway, your mother and father stopped by today. And—"

"What did they want?" I blurted out, upset, before she could finish her statement. And she didn't like that one bit.

"If you allowed me to finish saying what I was saying, Jackass, then you wouldn't have to ask such a stupid question." She got angry at me again.

"I'm sorry. OK," I said to calm her down, but boy, that didn't work at all.

And after some minutes of pouting and cursing me under her breath—calling me names I hate even—she inhaled and exhaled to calm herself before starting to talk about what happened with my parents today while I was away. And thank goodness, nothing crazy happened.

"Oh, your dad gave me this to give to you." Tajea reached for an envelope on the center table, handing it to me. And not just any envelope. It's the one I mailed to my dad this morning with a check for billions of dollars to pay off my mother's debt?

But why does Tajea have this? Idiot, she just said your dad gave it to her, stupid.

I opened the envelope, and to my surprise, the check was still inside. Just what kind of game is my father playing here? Isn't he after money? What angel would possess that greedy bastard for him to return this much money?

I'm confused. Could it be possible that he was telling the truth? That he's here to make peace between us? No. Don't be a fool, Nik. It's part of his scheme. That man never does anything without a reason or something beneficial to him.

"Your father wants you to attend some get-together party tomorrow night at the Orion Hotel." Heck no, I was about to say. But before I could, Tajea added. "He said you should also take me and little Nik along with you."

OK, my father is definitely up to something, but I'll worry about that later. All I can think about right now is that this is a perfect chance for me and Tajea to go out together. Like on a date. I'll be damned if I pass up the opportunity. After all, if I had asked her out directly, she would have rejected me without hesitation. "Do you want to go?"

"Well, I told your dad, whatever you decide, so if you're going, then I'll go with you," she said.

Damn, I'm excited about our date tomorrow night. "Then we will go together. Of course, with little Nik." I can always hire someone to watch over him while Tajea and I have some alone time together.

And as if knowing my secret intentions and desires, Tajea purposely destroyed them. And she did it with a smile, too. How cold. "Alright, but I'm taking Regina with me. Of course, Tyrone will be with her. And I'll also travel with them, so we'll meet up with you and little Nik there."

"OK." And just like that, my fantasies were shattered. They never even had a chance to become reality.

"Alright. See you tomorrow." She bid me farewell. And I just watched her leave. When all I wanted to do so badly was stop her from leaving, kiss her desirable lips for all eternity, drag her upstairs to my room, and make endless and passionate love to her, but I punked out.

Deep sigh. Tonight is going to be another miserable night. Ugh! Well, let me try to get some sleep for tomorrow. But before I did so, I went to check up on little Nik, who was comfortably asleep in his room. He looks so adorable and at peace. Unlike me right now, who is tossing and turning in my bed because my hormones are driving me crazy.

The life of a kid is very simple and stress-free. I can't help but envy Little Nik right now.
