Second Chances

Chapter 14

So sorry for the late update.

"Hey, good to see you too" he replied. "Eric called me last night to tell me I will be accompanying the both of you"

"Why that little sneak!" I asked narrowing my eyes glancing around trying to locate him. "Where is he?"

"He's around" he shrugged.

I sighed sitting next to him and waited till our flight was called to be boarded, Eric didn't show till we got to the plane, I guess he knows what he did. I raised my brows at him when he caught up with us as we got to the plane and he just grinned and shrugged.

The flight was a long, quiet and boring one with neither of us making any small conversation. When we got to our destination, we made our way out to get a taxi that will take us to our hotel.

The hotel is magnificent, at least he got one thing right, I got my own room and I planned on sleeping all through until the day after tomorrow for the conference.

I took a shower, tied one towel around me while I was drying my hair with the other. When I got to my room, I jumped when i saw someone on my bed,

"Christ!" I yelled clutching my towel tighter.

"Nope, it's just me" Nick said staring at me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked feeling conscious of my lack of clothes, and trying to magically make my towel cover my thighs.

"Lying down" he explained like he was talking to a child.

"I can see that, I mean in my room" I rolled my eyes "There's something called knocking you know"

"I was bored in my room alone, so I thought you would love my company" he said "And why knock when I get to see you like this" he smirked looking at me from top to bottom.

I shook my head and clutched my towel tighter, got my pjs and went back to the bathroom to change.

"By the way, you look hot in that towel" he winked when I came back out.

I got on my bed ignoring him, which will be totally difficult if I know Nick well.

"So, what do you want to do tonight?" he asked

I kept on ignoring him, trying to sleep.

"I want to ask you a question" he said suddenly becoming serious.

I kept on ignoring him.

"It's a serious question Ash" he said trying to make me talk.

When he saw that I didn't answer him, he sighed. "You brought this on yourself" he said before he started his torture in the form of tickling.

Did I forget to mention that I'm super ticklish? Well I am, and as for how he knows, I have no idea.

"Please.........please.......s-stop" I gasped begging him.

"Will you ignore me again?" He asked still torturing me.

"N-no, I won't, now p-please s-stop..... No more, please" I said in between laughter with tears running down my cheeks.

He smiled, and stopped.

"I hate you" I gasped wiping the tears.

"I know" he grinned "Now back to my question"

"What is the question?"

"Why do you call me Ivashkov?" He asked.

"Why do I put up with you?" I murmured quietly so he wouldn't hear me, loudly I said "Seriously, that's your question?"
