A Second Chance

chapter 5

recap:

"You're married." It sounded more like a statement than a question.

"I'm soon to be married," I quietly said, hiding my ring.

"I didn't deserve what you did to me." Nick started off. Now this was the talk I have been dreading ever since I saw him at the photoshoot. "You said that I could trust you and said you loved me."

That was my last text to him.

'Then trust me, I love you.'

"Why did you leave?" Nick pushed.

Is it the right time to tell him? But then he would ask me about my secret, I'm not ready for him to know.

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

Right on time, we arrived at my apartment. "I'm not ready yet, Nick."

I quickly ran out of his car. I wasn't ready to talk to him. He wasn't ready to hear the truth.

Once I got inside my apartment, I heard snoring. That meant that Nate had fallen asleep on me, again. But this was all my fault. Work has been keeping me busy all the time, he should understand that since he is always working as well.

I found Nate sleeping on the couch, his arm dangling out. I awed at how cute he looked.

"Babe, come on let's get you to bed." I whispered, rubbing his arm.

He opened his eyes then smiled when he saw me. "You're finally home."

"I know." Giving him a small smile, I try to lift him up by tugging at his arm, but he was just too heavy.

Nate chuckled and got up by himself. I wrap my arms around his neck, staring deeply into his beautiful blue eyes.

I loved Nate, right?

I'm just having mixed feelings because Nick came back into my life. But Nate is the one I'm marrying and Nick is getting married to Yasmin.

I buried my face in the crook of Nate's neck as he held me. His cologne smelt really nice. It was the only cologne that he would use because he knows I was obsessed with the smell of him.

"You seem like you have a lot in your mind." Nate caressed my brown hair soothingly.

You have no idea.

"It's just work, been busy that's all." I answered, still holding on to his big body like I was going to lose him.

"Then we should get to bed."

Without a warning Nate grabbed my small body and carried me bridal style to our bedroom. He set me down on the bed then crawled on top of me. Kissing me gently on the lips.

I loved kissing Nick's soft lips.

Wait what?

Nick? Why the hell am I thinking about him when I have my fiancé right on top of me.

"We better get some sleep." Nate stopped before anything else happened.

I was grateful that we stopped. Not because I didn't want to have sex with him, but because I was thinking about another guy who wasn't him. For all I know I could accidentally moan out Nick's name instead of Nate's.

"Goodnight, I love you." Nate kissed my cheeks and laid down besides me.

"Goodnight..."
