Trusting Betrayal

Chapter10

Nathan jerked as a hand slithered across his chest. He looked up immediately and stared at the intruder. Urgh! Not her again.

Brittany smiled seductively as she leaned a hip on the table, her miniskirt riding upward. She stretched, her top stretching tightly across her bosom. Nathan looked on.

"What do you want, Brittany?"

She smiled slyly. "What do you mean? What do I want? Thats easy. You know what I want, don't you?" she purred. Brittany reached for his collar and slipped a finger-

"Um...uh". A voice interrupted. They both turned to see the intruder, in Brittany's case, and the savior, in Nathan's case. Nathan sat up immediately. He smiled at her nervous frame. It was her! What was her name? He never did get to ask her.

Brittany glared at Alexandra. "Yes? What do you want?"

Lexie blushed "I am so sorry. I will come back later, if that's okay". She made to hurriedly dash away when her wrist was clamped by a strong, masculine hand.

"Now is okay". He looked at Brittany expectantly.

"What?"she pretended to not understand.

With a slight shake of his gorgeous head, he gestured for her to take her leave.

"Awwn! Come on!" she protested and leaned in further.

Not having patience for her charade, Nathan got up and walked out with Lexie's wrist still clamped in his hand.

******************************************************

"Yeah?"Nathan prompted.

"Huh?"She asked, confused.

"You said you wanted to talk, didn't you?"He stared at her, amused.

"Uh... um. .Um" she stuttered nervously and cleared her throat "I wanted to...um" she cleared her throat again.

Nathan squeezed her hand reassuredly "Easy. Dont rush. Easy" he murmured.

Lexie looked down at her shoes, embarrassed. She then realized that her hand was still held captive by Nathan. Lexie immediately tried to jerk her hand free but it wouldn't budge. She stared quizzically at Nathan.

Nathan didn't mind that she was trying to jerk her hand free. He stared at her, trying to figure out the reason for her trepidation. He sure liked her physique, which was of course, obscured by the loose-fitting cloth she wore.

Lexie shifted uncomfortably. She always felt awkward having guys- people in general- stare at her but this was new. This creeping sensation in her spine.

Nathan cleared his throat.

Lexie also tried a smile which fell through. "Um... I wanted to thank you for last time. I really appreciated it"

Nathan nodded. "It was a pleasure. No big deal"

She breathed in "That would be all. Sorry for interrupting your-" she trailed off.

Nathan cocked a brow "My?"

"Nothing. I have to go" she rubbed her arm unconsciously.

Nathan's gaze swept over her feature and spotted a bruise on her left upper arm. It was obviously new. He stared at it.

"What?"Lexie asked.

Nathans gaze immediately swept back up her face. He could see that she didn't want anyone to see it. He let it go.

"Nothing"He faked a smile.

Lexie turned to leave when he caught her arm "Nathan"

Lexie smiled in response "Alexandra." With that she left.

A/N: Whoa! Watch out, Lexie! I still think she was brave to approach that table! Please dont forget to vote, comment and share. Love yall!!!
