Second Chances

Chapter 17

Hi

I told you guys, i'll make it up to you

Yay!!! double upload..... 

Currently working on a third.

Here it goes................

The next morning, I find myself entangled with Nick. I have to admit, it is a nice feeling, it's the second time-or is it the third-I can't seem to remember which time it is. I just know that this isn't the first time I'm waking up in his arms.

I wiggled, trying to get him to let me go, but his grip is like iron around my waist, and I didn't want to wake him up.

Damn, I can't seem to......Ugh!

I groaned and then I felt him shaking. The idiot was trying not to laugh.

"How long" I sighed.

"You look beautiful when you sleep" he said turning me to face him and pecking me on the lips "Oh and you have a little drool on your chin"

I moved my hands to clean the drool when I heard him chuckling; I hit him on his chest-an excuse to touch his chest by the way-pushed him and moved away from him.

"You are annoying" I said going into the bathroom to prepare for the day.

"Yeah but you love me" he yelled after me.

Shaking my head and taking his shirt off, i stepped into the shower. Not long after i got in, I felt him wrap his hand round me from behind.

"Mind if I join you?' he asked kissing my neck.

"You already did join me" i said "We have the conference today you know" I continued leaning into him.

"Yeah, I know" he said as he continues to kiss my neck "My shirt looks better on you than it does on me"

I felt him move toward my ear "daydreaming again?' I heard him whisper jolting me from my thoughts again.

At the conference......

We are currently at the conference being held at the Hotel and instead of me listening, I'm spacing out and that dummy sitting close to me knows the reason. He brought me back twice now.

"No, I'm not" I replied "Just thinking of what Dr. Roland is saying"

"Hmm" he says "Well then, tell me the last statement he made" he said raising his brow.

"Something about......." I shrugged.

He just kept on staring at me with his eyebrow raised waiting for me continue "Fine! I was distracted" I whispered "Happy now"

He just smiled and faced forward.

I continued to grumble and tried as much as I can not to space out again. I really listened to the doctor as he continued his lecture; I remember he was supposed to be talking about The impact and self-care of Hypertension or something like that, the subject which wholly engrossed Nick.

It took me back to my dad; I spoke with Andy that morning before leaving the room to ask about his health, he said he's doing well. I'm glad that he is.

"Thank you very much Dr. Roland" I heard the host say bringing me back. "It's time for the lunch break, when we come back, we will listen to Dr. Nicholas Reed."

As we made our way outside, I registered what he said.

"You're presenting as well?" I asked Nick surprised.
