Eternal Frozen Love

Chapter 17

             Lily's POV

When it was 7, I ... for some reason I wanted Natheniel back home now. I didn't understand what was wrong with me but I was ......... missing him?

No, I couldn't. He wasn't someone I could have even if I wanted him.

But I waited for him till 8 pm when Kate came to me and said, " Miss, I don't think Sir will be coming tonight. Maybe he's at the company or at a friend's place."

" How many friends does he often go to at night?" I find my self asking.

" Well, mostly he goes to his friends place but mostly he goes to spend the night at Miss Erica's place and returns in the morning." She says

" So he's probably at Rica's place?" I say to myself and why was I sad??

What was wrong with me? Why did he suddenly have so much impact on me?

I dislike him so why am I attracted to him now?

Ohh, I don't understand what's happening to me.

" I'll just go to my room." I say and run to my room to sleep.

As I close my eyes, Natheniel's handsome face pops into my head and his grin..., his eyes, his... lips.
No no no no! Why am I thinking about these things.

I need to sleep. But my brain flows with images of him, until I fall asleep.

Nath's POV
I open my eyes and look around to see that I wasn't in my room.

" Fuck" I groan and my head starts to spin again when I try remembering what happened last night.

Then I remember all; Rica giving me that wine and me having a severe headache.

I sit up the couch and groan.
Then I see Rica come down the stairs, limping.

What was wrong with her?

" Rica" I say and she sits beside me.

" Hubby, you're awake." She says and caresses my cheeks but I move away and her face stills.

" Natheniel, do you dislike me that much." She says in a pained voice. I look at her as she's about to cry.

* Sighs* " Rica, come here." I say and open my arms for her. Then she launches forward and hugs me.

We remain in that position for some time and I pull away when I feel she's ok.

" What happened last night?" I ask her .

" N-nothing, u were just tired and fell asleep." She says.

" Ok, but I have to leave" I say and get off the couch.

" B-but Natheniel? Please stay a little longer." She says

" I wished I could stay but-but I have to get back to the house,Lily won't be ok if she's left alone in the house." I say

" So is because of the bitch." She says laughing sarcastically.

" You don't have to insult her." I say but why the fuck was I mad when she insulted Lily?

" What, now you care about her, don't you? U like her?" She says and I'm speechless.

" Is true?" She widens her eyes when I say nothing.

" Stop with your nonsense, why are you jumping into conclusions? Did I ever say I liked her." I say coldly to her and her tears fall.

If I continued to stay I might not be able to leave her alone.

" I'm leaving." I say walk out the door amist her screaming my name.

.............................................................

I get home and see Lily and Nicky eating. I walk towards them.

" Brother Nath, you're back" Nicky says then Lily's eyes falls on mine and for a second I felt lost in them.

She then looks down her food.

" Hey" I say to Nicky.

I look over at Lily and I felt like she was ignoring me.

" What up, little flower?" I say teasing her.

Then she looks over at me

" Why did you call me that? Don't call me that." She says in a pissed voice.

I actually liked messing with this girl, she's so cute when she's pissed.

" Why can't I call you that?" I say moving to her side.

Then she looks up at me with her beautiful hazel eyes, I smile slightly and she stares at me and I do same.

Then she looks down at her food and eats.

" You can't call me names" she says

I smile and ruffle her hair messing her hair, and walk upstairs.

" Aarr, Natheniel." she says in a pissed voice

..............................................................

I shower and go down for breakfast.
After I'm done, I head back to the company.

..............................................................
I continue this routine for a week. It was the weekend so I stayed home.

But still worked.

It had been a week and I hadn't heard
from Rica. She didn't text me or call me.

I figured out she must need some space.
