Maya
I was absolutely amazed after Nik consoled me. I thought he was going to wave me off as another girl trying to manipulate him emotionally into another relationship. Though I wasn't interested even if he offered me one. But it was just strange, him consoling me without trying anything stupid like you know kissing me with the excuse of trying to calm me down.
Players tend to do that a lot.
"Give me a sec" Nik said, picking up his ringing phone and excusing himself out of my sight.
I just stood staring at the dark sky void of stars, wondering if I was actually doing the right thing. It wasn't always a wise choice, revenge on an asshole called your ex, there's a ten percent chance it could backfire nevertheless it was worth trying.
I heard some noises and turned only to bump into his chest. Again. He stared at me with a strange amused look that sent a blush on my face.
"What?" I asked seriously, not liking the funny face he was giving me.
He just heaved heavily and said. "There's been a big change of plans" He announced as I tried regulating my breathing.
Uh-oh, this wasn't good.
"What?" I squealed, revealing the fact I was really nervous and uncomfortable.
Nik stared at me for a while before he sighed.
"Now, you're totally freaking me out" I said aloud.
"You don't have to worry, Maya" He replied.
That husky yet sexy voice trying to assure me that everything was okay. I might not know everything about Nik but I surely know he protects his own or tries to protect them.
For some reason, whenever I'm around him I feel safe and protected like everything was okay.
"Alright" I breathed. "What's the change?"
"Tina would be joining us shortly"
"What?!!!" I shrieked, gaining the attention of the guards stationed at the front of the house.
They looked away as if they never saw me while I focused my attention back on Nik. "But yo-...how di-....you said she was not going to be here?"
"Apparently, she had a change of mind" Came his reply and I stared at him disappointed.
"Apparently, it seems I'm not needed anymore" I retorted, not believing I wasted all this time for nothing. I can't even believe I told him my secret minutes ago.
"No" He said, earning a look from me.
Nik reached out and grabbed my arm while I look at his movement wondering what he was up to this time.
"No, what?" I questioned.
"Your job isn't done yet"
"What job?" I questioned him suspiciously not getting what he intended to do.
"Is a job that doesn't require you lying about your name, job and personality. You just have to be yourself until the client's satisfied" He explained. I arched a brow and he added. "It isn't illegal"
I folded my arms across my chest and put on a stern face hoping I was going to squeeze the truth out of his lips. "Seriously, what's the job Nik?"
He smiled mischievously. "What's the fun if I tell you now?" He took my hand. "I'll expose it after dinner with my dad. Plus we have a party to go, don't we?" He threw at me expecting an answer.
Great, I'm at his mercy again.
"Fine" I replied, finally giving in as he gave me a warm sheepish grin and my heart race increased. "Stop that" I hissed biting down on my lips.
