His HOT wife

Chapter Seven:Reunited

Nash's (loraine) POV

It's already past 6 in the afternoon and I'm still stuck here in my work place adding the last touch to my new design.

It's a lovely purple dress.

Now that I've somehow lost myself onto something this whole day, I hope it would help me clear my head again and I could regroup.

I must not stray away from my main goal.

Make Drey Stranton's life a living hell.

"Annnd there!" I said as I pinned the last piece to the fabric.

I took a step back scanning the entirety of my work and nodded.

"I love it..."

"Me too."I heard someone said behind me.

God! Does nobody knows how to knock these days? I turned to look at the intruder who I doubt don't know how to knock and thought maybe I could give him an earful about how it's rude to just barge in in somebody else's office without knocking.

"Excuse m--!!?....."I trailed off.

"Logan?" dumbfounded.

I blinked.

Once, twice...I can't believe my eyes.

"Hmm..I don't know Raine, purple? I always thought you look good in black. Hot."he said crossing his arms grinning at me and winked.

I just stared at him with my mouth slightly hanging open in disbelief.

He looked more handsome than I last saw him..which have been more like years,
I haven't seen him for YEARS.

My heart swelled with emotions.

My vision started blurring.

He searched my eyes and frowned.

He's like a brother to me, though I admit I had a little crush on him when I was 14 and on, then Drey happened..and broke my heart beyond repair. 

"What? No running into my arms and giving me a hug? I really think I deserve one, not to mention I was upset with you for not inviting me to your wedding."he said spreading his arms wide open for me, grinning.

I missed him!

I rushed into his arms and crushed him into a tight hug.

It's nice to see him again after all this time.
We've been playmates when we were still toddlers.
Our families are close friends since their youth.

We've been bestfriends for forever even if there are a lot of times that we don't see each other.
He's family always travel because of business and they always bring their son with them.

this is the longest time we've been apart and with not much communication.
I was preoccupied, what with all the falling for my jerk of a husband and the heartbreak, wedding, evil plans and all..

my husband..

I can't afford to fall for him again.

No I can't, I just can't.

For the life of me.

If I ever did again and he..he would cheat on me again..I..I---

"Logan--"I sobbed.

I don't know what's happening to me that I just broke down in his arms.
I wanted to tell him.
I want him to comfort me, and talk me out of this mess but I don't want to bother him.

This is my fight and solely mine.

"Shush now, I'm real. I haven't died or anything..what's with this going all "water-fountain" on me? Please tell me you're not acting just so I'd be forced to buy you strawberries and chocolates? I'd hate it. And did I mention that I also hated it when you don't even share? Not even a tiny bit?"he said that made me sobbed even more.

I missed his playfulness, his charming sense of humor..and HIM.

"Oh please..you like bringing me those even if I don't go all "water-fountain" on you. AND, you despise strawberries and chocolates, you always say i can eat all I can 'cause you can't."I said breaking my hug and jabbed a finger on his chest and smiled.

He smiled back wiping my tears away.

"Guilty as charged."he said.

"Actually, I have brought you them today."he added gesturing the paper bags that was placed on my coffee table.

I smiled, truly happy.

"I missed you."I said.

If he ever appeared to be stunned and surprised with my sudden confession he didn't show it for too long 'cause it's gone before I could even blink twice.

"I know Raine and believe me..me too, so much."then he gave me the bear hug.

....

After five or more so hours..

It's almost midnight and Logan had just dropped me off at home.

I'm tired, exhausted even, but very happy at the same time.
Logan and I left my office by 6:31 pm and went out for dinner.

Imagine my utter shock when Logan confronted me about my still broken heart when I told him nothing about my life for the past what?...15 months? then Nikki's name was dropped, so I demanded he bring me to Nikki's.

So I could personally strangle her for spilling all the information of my situation with my jerk of a husband to Logan whom I intended to not allow to know nothing about my sorry of a life.

Luckily, for Nikki, she defended herself just fine and lectured me instead, for ''torturing myself'' she said.

Seriously? How could I even quarrel with a 3 months pregnant woman who spoke nothing but agreeable points?

Then after her lecture she hugged me then brought out a bunch of food and demanded we entertain her and eat with her.
Which was funny and ridiculous at the same time.

We entertained her with my bad singing skills in karaoke and Logan's purposely clumsy dancing.

We had a lot of fun, we danced, sang, ate, talk and danced some more.

Just like the old days when we were all young and happy? Or is it just me that is not the latter?

I walked in with a huge smile on my face thinking back at the events that happened today expecting no one was there waiting for me in the dim light.

Boy was I wrong to expect that...

"Tell me..."I jump at the sound of the voice.

"Where the hell have you been Mrs. Stranton." said Drey in a dangerously calm voice. It was not a question but a demand.
