I grunt as my alarm goes off.
"Nathan-" I gasp as I feel his lips on my neck, "I have to go-" I manage to speak without moaning for once. But guess what?
I fail.
"Come again." He says in my ear, taking the top of it between his teeth. A soft moan escapes my lips and he hovers over me, the perspiration shining on his forehead despite the air conditioner.
"Literally." He adds and a low giggle erupts through me making my eyes roll to the back of my head. The feeling of pure love, of lust, of sheer joy.
The feeling of Nathan Hale.
His forehead drops to mine and then he slowly rolls off to his side of the bed. I laugh and he takes me in his warm embrace.
"I've missed you so much, Ally Ricosta." He mumbles and I feel him kissing the top of my head.
"I've missed you too, Nathan Hale." I can feel the blush rising up my cheeks. I'm never going to get used to this. I force myself to stay here another moment before I start rushing around like a mad woman, first trying to wake up Jule and treat his headache because its only been three hours since we've gotten back from the club and I doubt that's enough sleep for someone who's downed rivers of alcohol. I lift my face and kiss Nathan, moving my palms down his sticky chest.
"Say it." He says against my lips, our eyes still closed. I side smile.
"Say what?" I open my eyes and look at him. He still has his eyes closed and slowly pulls back, raking his hair.
"Whatever it is that you've been pondering over for the past three hours." He finally opens his eyes, looking at me. Its a dark brown colour right now. I bite my lip and then smile.
"When did you call the wedding off?" I avoid looking at his eyes, busying myself as I link my fingers through his.
"The very day I learnt that you left. I was devastated. At first, I thought maybe this is too much for you to witness and I was kind of relieved, to be honest. You have no idea what it was for me, to put up with all of this knowing you are in the same room. Ally, look at me," he puts a finger under my chin, forcing me to look at him, "I'm sorry. It was never my intention to hurt you. I thought I'm making things better, that this marriage will make things alright. Because Kayden told me he'd give the whole of Ricosta Corp to me and then I'd divorce Angie and give it to you. But the moment I learnt you were gone, it shook the ground beneath me. I thought that's it for us, that it was all my mistake. And that if we were never going to happen, if we did not stand a chance of getting back together, what use is this stupid wedding? I never wanted the company, all I ever wanted was you. All of you, Ally Ricosta. I....I love you." His voice is a mere whisper when he finishes and I cannot help the tears rolling down my cheeks. It physically hurts to think of a world where we'd not be together. I smile and kiss him. He kisses me back.
"You know, Nathan. There was a time – a time when I thought, I believed, that there is something you are keeping from me. That you don't want to do this but you are compelled to do it. But then when I saw you, going around like everything was normal, like it didn't affect you, it made me angry and sad at the same time. And so, before leaving I wrote you a letter but I could not find the courage to give it to you." His eyes flash with curiosity and he sits a little straight.
"I want to read it." I hate demanding Nathan.
"Its stupid. Doesn't matter now, I've really written nonsense stuff-"
"If it shows what you felt about me, I want to read it. I deserve to know, Ally. I've told you what I felt."
"Devastated." I repeat and he nods with pursed lips. We look at each other for a couple more seconds and he takes my hand in his.
