CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
“ Welcome to my humble abode “ he said ushering me into the house
Humble ? This house is anything but humble , it looks like a freaking castle .
I can’t believe I’m in Mr Harlow’s house I mean how the fuck did I get here ?
After sharing that awkward but sweet kiss at the club , I quickly pulled away after realizing the gravity of what we had done , I tried to run away but Mr Harlow asked if I would love to come to his house and to cut the long story short , here I am … in his humble abode.
I couldn’t help but marvel at the interior design and antiques in the house , it was a white themed house with a touch of black here and there , everything inside literally screamed EXPENSIVE. .
“ Wow you must really love my house “ he said dragging me from my trail of thoughts
“ Uhh what ?”
“ you’ve been staring for minutes “ he said
“ oh sorry , sometimes I can’t help appreciate beautiful things “ I said which made him smile
“ Come on let me give you a royal tour “ he said dragging me into the maze like house
“ This is the living room and that is the dinning room “ he said pointing at the beautiful trail of furnitures sitting on the marbled floor . I looked at the dinning chairs in awe , why do rich people build houses like idiots? I mean they literally live alone but yet they build humongous houses , honestly I can never understand them .
“ So Mr Harlow do you live alone ?” I asked
“ Yes I live alone and have you forgotten ? It’s Nick outside work “ he said
“ My bad Nick , well I guess you must be Nicki Minaj “ I said
“ What do you mean ?”
“ There was a pink car in your garage , what are you ? Barbie ?” I asked which made him laugh hard
“ Arrrgh ! That was Kylie’s car “ he said
“ Kylie ? Who’s kylie ?”
“ My younger sister “he said
“ Oh how come I’ve never heard about her ?” I asked
“ Well let’s just say she’s never around “
“ Oh is she on a world tour or something ?” I asked
“ No Laura she’s in space , well I mean she’s on earth now but she’s a scientist so she’s always launching rockets or fighting space troubles “ he said
“oh my Goodness that is so freaking cool “ I said
“ So here’s the gym “
“ Wow you must work out a lot “ I said staring at the equipments
“ I don’t mean to brag or anything but yeah I’m quite ripped “ he said kissing his muscles which made me laugh
We continued walking down the long hallway and after a while , we stopped in front of a room .
“ And this is my room “ he said opening the door for me
I stared at the room in surprise as everything looked new and untouched .
“ Do you even sleep in this room?” I asked
“ Yeah sometimes , you know how busy I can be at the office , I spend most of my time in hotels “he said
“ Oh I guess being the CEO takes a lot of sacrifices “
“ You have no idea “ he said
I spotted a portrait on the wall and walked towards it , it was a picture of a very beautiful woman smiling beautifully .
“ My mother … That’s my mom “ he said
“ She’s … beautiful “ I said
“ I know she’s really beautiful “
“ Now I see where the good looks came from , she really is a full package “ I said fangirling his mom which made him laugh
“ Well I wouldn’t call her the full package “ he said
“ Oh… uhhh why ?”
“ Obviously she’s inhumanely beautiful , she’s caring , she’s also best mother anyone can ask for , there’s just one clause “ he said
“ And what is that ?” I asked
“ She can’t love “
“ What do you mean ?” I asked
“ She’s unable to fall in love “ he said
“ h-how is that even possible ?”
“ My mom and dad were set together by their parents “ he said
“ You mean they had an arranged marriage ?” I asked
“ yes after few years of living my dad fell deeply in love with her but my mom couldn’t reciprocate his feelings . I watched my dad trying to please her and make her feel the same as him but it was all to no avail , she never felt anything for him “ he said with pain evident in his eyes
“ Love is wicked Laura , love is cruel , a one sided love is even more disastrous , I don’t want to be a victim of that , I will never fall in love “ he said
Oh …
“ Why ? Those were your parents Nick Not you , because they couldn’t make it work doesn’t mean you wouldn’t find love “ I said
That came out lamer than I expected
“ You don’t understand , My parents are divorced and I still see my dad crying whenever he sees her picture , the pain can never go away . I never want to experience that Laura … ever “he said
Wow love is indeed crazy …
What do I say ? How do I respond to this?
“ Uhh so how many girls have you brought here ?”I asked stupidly
No way Laura Paley , you did not just say that
Then he suddenly burst into a fits of laughter
“ Really ? Nice way to lighten the mood “he said and I smiled
“ 3 “he said
“ what ?” I asked
“ Only three girls have entered my house “ he said
Ohhhh
“ Your Ex’s ?” I asked
“ No my Mom , sister and housekeeper but you’re here now so that makes you the fourth girl to come in here “ he said staring into my eyes
Uhh someone help , I can’t breathe again
“ Uhhh why ? Why did you bring me here ?” I asked
“ Laura are you just slow witted or you love to hear me say the same thing every time?” He asked
“ What ?”I asked stupidly
He walked closer and grabbed my waist
Dear God !
“ Laura I’m attracted to you , I’m madly attracted to you , heck you’re all I can think about every damn time … I want a taste “ he said
Oh fuck !
My heart was beating loudly as those alien words rolled smoothly off his sexy lips .
“ I want a taste of you “ he said kissing my neck
Somebody help …. I think I’m about to pass out
He kissed my forehead before inhaling my scents deeply
“ you smell divine “he said moving his hand to my shoulder holding my bra strap in his hand .
Laura do something
Do I want this ?
Am I ready for this ? He just said it that he doesn’t want any attachments , will I get attached after this ?
His hand found my jaw and pulled me closer to him , fire ran through my body as his fingertips ran through every single spot in my body .
“ I want you …. I want you so bad “ he whispered into my ear My legs felt like jelly at the sound of his voice .
His hands moved to my bra hook and unclasped it with no struggle
“ ewww what the fuck- Get a fucking room “ a female voice said making me jump in surprise , I looked back and saw a very feminine version of Nick . She must be kylie , she looked so beautiful I almost drooled
I quickly pulled my top down and straightened my skirt
“ This is my room , you shouldn’t be here “ Nick argued
“ whatever I didn’t come back to earth to see my disgusting brother banging some bimbo “ she said which made me cover my face with a pillow
“ Then how about you use the door and never come back to my house unannounced again ?” he said.
“ Wow you must be the nicest brother in the world “she said sarcastically
“ Whatever just get out and don’t forget to take your pink car this time “he said
“I already gifted that to you and besides I’m not going anywhere , sorry to ruin your fun party but mom needs you at the penthouse “ she said
“ Arrgh Dammit “he said punching the wall
“ Of all days , it had to be today ?” He asked angrily
“ Don’t get all angry at me , how about you ask her when you see her “ she said
Ok this is the most awkward moment of my entire life
“ Laura I’m sorry I have to leave now but I’ll be back in 30 minutes , I promise I won’t take longer so please will you wait ?” He asked
“ Uhh sure “ I said
“ Thank you , oh my bad Laura meet my sister Kylie “ he said and I gave her a small wave
“ kylie please take care of her while I’m gone “ he said giving me a forehead kiss before leaving .
It was just kylie and I in the room then this awkward silence descended from nowhere , I decided to break the ice first .
“ Ummm Nick has told me a lot about you , he said you’re a scientist that is so cool “ I said
“ what do you want?”She suddenly asked
“ Uhhh what ?” I asked
“ what do you want from Nick ?”
“ Uhhh Nothing I guess “
“ Is it money ? Fame ? Whatever it is you can have it “
“Excuse me I think you got the wrong idea , I’m just his secretary “I said
“ Yeah right , a secretary exchanging spit with her boss “
Ok this girl is rude
“ I don’t know if you’re just stupid or are you aware of the fact that Nick will never love you ?” She asked
“ what are you saying ?” I asked
“ what I’m saying is you’ll turn out to be a nice time pass like every other girl he’s dated “
“We are not dating “ I argued
“ I saw the tabloids Laura Paley , you’re pretty famous now . Listen I’m only saying this because you’re really beautiful and you seem like a nice person , if you get acquainted with my brother you’ll get used and dumped , trust me you can’t handle the disgrace that comes with it “ she said
“Honestly I’m not interested in your brother “ I said
“ Well maybe not yet , eventually you’ll be interested in him and trust me you’ll fall so hard for him . My brother is a whore, he thinks every girl can open their legs for him at anytime “
“ I’m not saying this to bad-mouth my brother or something , for some weird reasons I don’t want you to get hurt , Laura run away from him now … stay away from my brother “ she said
