If We're A Fairytale (Completed)

Chapter 17

Chapter Seventeen

Nate's POV

My phone rang and I looked at the caller ID to see Kathy's name flashing. I remembered that I still have to thank her for the pep talk she gave me yesterday. After my confrontation with Jane two days ago, I stupidly made myself wasted finding solace under the influence of alcohol. I was really confused and shocked.

It was Kathy who talked to me when I entered the office with a major hang over just a day after I learned about my daughter. She entered my room with a cup of coffee and I thanked her. I lifted my head to look at her questioningly when she just stood in front of my desk.

"Jane is not around. Do you have any idea as to why she's not in today?" She asked with that knowing tone of hers again. I sighed and continued rubbing my throbbing temples.

"Kathy, I'm not in the mood for this, okay? My head is killing me!" I groaned and she chuckled.

"Why did you imbibed in the first place?" She asked as she sat across me and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Kathy!" I glared at her but she didn't even flinch. She just gave me that apprehensive look that never failed to make me squeamish. I sighed in defeat and slumped my back on my leather seat as I massaged my temples.

"I've known you for ages, Nathaniel. I know when something's not okay. Now, tell me." She told me reasonably and I tried my hardest to glare at her under my pounding head.

"Some problems. Now go!" I hissed but she just snorted making me more irritated.

"A woman." She stated matter-of-factly and I gave her my best 'what-the-fuck' face but she just shrugged it away.

"You know what? You're hopeless!" I said as I shook my head but regretted it as I did because it caused my head to almost split into two.

"You are hopeless." She reiterated and my annoyance abled me to glare at her despite my eyeballs feeling like it wanted to roll down the floor.

"What now?"

"It's obvious that you cared yet you're suppressing yourself. If you missed her, hug her. If you love her, kiss her then marry her. It's just that simple. But no, you want to add more drama into this story! Up to what chapter are you planning to drag this?" She said dramatically as she waved her hands around. What the heck is wrong with this woman?

"Nothing is that simple! You don't know so don't act like you do!" I snapped and her smirk slipped, replaced with a serious 'Kathy Look' which you don't want to mess with. I groaned.

"Enlighten me, Nathaniel." She said coolly. A thin string snapped on my calm demeanor and I sighed loudly, pure irritation dripping on every word I said.

"She was pregnant with my daughter six years ago and she drove me away! I was clueless like a fucking dog! If I've known, I wouldn't let her go! I would never!" I yelled and she gasped, staring at me with wide eyes. I don't know why I'm so damn angry. I never felt so defeated like I do now, and it is very frustrating.

"Oh my god." She breathed unbelievingly. Hell yeah, it's shocking I know! My anger refueled and my mind was clouded with rage.

"She made me believe that it was my fault all along! She lied to me and even told me that it was for me? What a joke! She doesn't know anything. Then she'll cry in front of me then tell me she was sorry? She doesn't have the right to even cry! She deserves everything! She deserve all those pain anyway---" My stupid rant was interrupted by a sting in my right cheek. My head snapped on the side by the force of a slap. My eyes widened to see Kath leaning over me and with a palm stretched my way. What did I just say? She doesn't deserve any pain. This is my fault for not seeing it beforehand.
