The door clicked as it locked and Nicholas walked over to them at the dining“Hey Nicholas,” Nathan said, extending his arm for a handshake. “What’s good?”“I’m good,” Nicholas said. He received the hand shake and took seat beside Nathan.“Cayden,” Nicholas called out.“Yeah man, what took you so long?” Cayden said.“I was with Rose ,” Nicholas said, abruptly.It had crossed Nathan’s mind that he might be with her.“With who? Doing what?” Cayden asked.“Wait.. you guys didn’t expect me to leave her in that state, after hearing all she heard, to be by herself and go home by herself?” Nicholas asked.“Well…..” Cayden said, swinging his hand in the air, agreeing that Nicholas had a point.“Exactly,” Nicholas said. “Everyone left and she was really hurt. I had to talk to her a while, help her stabilize. And then I drove her home before coming home since she didn’t come with any driver.”“That was thoughtful,” Nathan said, trying as much as possible not to create a topic of discussion conc

He picked his phone, navigating to his most recent call log and dialing Kaylee’s number.It rang until it stopped and she didn’t pick up. He tried it again and she didn’t pick.He tried it again the third time and after what seemed to be forever she picked, her voice rather calm as she spoke.“Nathan,” She said.“Kaylee..” Nathan said, rather unsure of what to say. “I didn’t pick up your initial calls because I wanted to get settled. I hate picking up calls when standing, or doing something. So I went to lay on my bed.”“Alright, so you’re on on your bed as we speak. I guess you intend to talk for a long while.” Nathan said.“Yeah, are you still busy?” Kaylee asked. “I mean, you can call me whenever you’re less busy.”“No.. not like that. It’s just kind of amazing that you headed to your bed to speak to me,” Nathan said.“Don’t let it get to your head. I do it for anyone I consider important.” Kaylee said.“Exactly, that’s what I’m driving at,” Nathan said then chuckled“You’re so fu

She turned around, and gave him two brief kisses on his lips before interlocking her tongue with his.The cafeteria turned upside down with another uproar of endless cheering, screaming.They were like movie stars surrounded by a swarm of paparazzi, lights flickering from almost phone’s cameras at almost every angle.She crossed her legs leaning inward towards Nathan, while he clutched her waist and a clap sound started from a corner of the crowd. It went on, increasing in its loudness and speeding, setting the mass of the air in the room into a vibration.Nathan and Rose slowly withdrew from each other’s arms. Rose grabbed all her flowers, holding them tightly to her bosom- proudly.Nathan held her hand and without hesitating, Rose interlocked their arms like a couple.“Let’s go,” Nathan said. As much as he loved the scene the students were making, he was getting somewhat uncomfortable with the paparazzi.The lights, plus he wasn’t really the modern generation guy who enjoyed being at

What is right?Nathan clearly didn’t know which route to take. Every possible contingency he played out in his head to keep his friendship with Letha led to him ineluctably losing Rose; that was a nightmare he didn’t want to go through.First he loved her and then he valued his relationship with her dad. He had entrusted everything about her to him. The safety of her body and also her heart. If he claimed to be her protector he had to guard her from every form of danger, external and internal.Messing with her heart will break her, making him a form of danger to her heart. And when her head is left unguarded, she’ll naturally run to someone else to protect it. And it might just be the dude’s son who Nathan had begun to spite for no concrete reason.His mind drifted to the sad possibility of him and Rose going back to the way they were when they first met. The regular bodyguard and his warden relationship. He snapped out of the thought, it was the worst that could happen, and then swa

Yes I am" Nathan said in a delusional tone, as he was quite eager to hear what he had to say next, holding Rose's arm more firmly and putting up a mischievous smile."And you hail from?" The man asked, his tone brisk, with quite a deep and persistent voice as he tried to garner information about his background."Broken Springs, or so I was told " Nathan said. He noticed the odd look on the man's face and quickly gazed at rose briefly so he could avoid the man's hot gaze. "I heard it's a town known for raising rascals" "I beg your pardon"?Nathan all filled with rage, squeezing the silver slippery cutlery right before him as he gazed at the tan-skinned man."I think it's time to eat" Mr Swack interrupted As one of the steward walked round to open the trays on each side of the dinning table. Rose twiddled her fingers round Nathan's and bringing her lips closer to ears."Please don't let him get to you, he's always a jerk"Nathan put up a big smile on hearing those words as it rela
