Love knot

She gathered her stuff from her cabin. "Hey, what's happening?"asked her colleague, looking at her as she walked out of her cabin.

She shrugged. "You could say I got fired."

"Are you serious? You got fired? You? Literally the best ever employee" he couldn't get his head around it. "Wait, didn't you want to quit? You were saying that at the annual party last time"

"Yep. But hey, my boss beat me to it. Well, I'll see you. Have a great time."

"I'll see you around, yeah? Outside of work"

She nodded as she left.

Just wait till I meet him again, I'll show him who the hell he's messing with!

She rang the bell again, frowning.

Today was her Emily's off. She must be home. Her eyes widened. He wouldn't have fallen so low. No. She assured herself. "Honey!" she heard Emily and turned around.

"The owner is a horrible person. You'll never guess what happened!" she said walking to her.

I don't have to guess, I know what happened!!

"What?" she asked, faking it. Emily sighed. "I just talked to him now and was on my way back to the flat. He sold this flat to some other person who payed a better amount. He literally just sold it! And we have two days to leave" she almost screeched.

Anger spread through her like forest fire. "I'll just be back, Emily" she turned to go, determined to put some sense into Nick's head.

"Honey!" she exclaimed.

"Um.. Go shopping or something" Honey said. "We'll have our flat back by the time you come back. I'll talk to the owner" and walked away.

Well Honey could talk people and convince them. Emily had plans for that day and decided to go as planned.

Honey would do something, she knew and went in.

Honey stood in front of their.. no!! His house. Mrs. Molly opened the door, smiling as welcomed her. "Honey, are you okay?" asked Mrs. Molly.

"Where is Nick?" Honey asked angrily. "I'm afraid he's gone out. What's the matter?" she asked. Honey was fuming.

"He got me fired and my flat is bought. My friend is homeless. What does he think of himself? When is he coming back?" she asked racing up and down the hall.

"I don't know. But I'll inform him that you're here" and Mrs. Molly picked up the phone. "He's going to come back in an hour."

"An hour?! This is ridiculous. Tell him to come home now. I am not waiting that long!!" she screamed. "Fifteen minutes" Mrs. Molly said, after talking to Nick. Honey walked up to her room, well technically, it was still hers.

She sat on the seatee waiting for him. She got up and went to her closet, examining it. All her dresses were all here. He hadn't thrown them away. Her hand touched the red gown, this was her ever favourite one.

He had gifted it for their first wedding anniversary. She was only 21 then.

How stupid I was to think that he really loved me!!

She was checking out her dresses. They were all in perfect condition. She sighed as she slid the door shut. She was still very angry and raced up and down the room.

"Yes?" she heard his voice and turned around. This ruthless man is pretending to know nothing. He is the root cause of all her problems.

"Are you insane?" she screamed. "What is wrong with you Nick? How can you do this. You monster. How can you smile when I'm scolding you this much? Shut up! Don't speak! Look at that annoying smile plastered to your face. I said stop it, Dammit!!" she roared.

He turned around and shut the door. That made her tense up a bit. "What the hell do you think you are doing? You think this funny? Shut up" she screamed when he laughed.

That was it. She went close and kicked him in the knees. He groaned. She smiled challengingly. He picked her up in one scoop and landed with her on the bed.

Why does he drag me to the bed everytime ?! I can't speak effectively!

He smiled and leaned in to kiss. She didn't move away. They kissed so thoroughly it took time for both of them to recover.

"I hate you!" she said and breathed heavily. "I hate you more" he winked. She tried to get up but there was no way he was letting her go.

"Do you want to tell me something?I thought you said you had to talk to me urgently" he whispered next to her mouth. She held her breath. She wanted to blast him but with him so close she couldn't speak.

"Hmm?" he prompted, kissing her eyes gently. She loved it. "I know what you love Honey!" he said placing his palm on her flat stomach. She gasped.

He chuckled. She opened her eyes. Was he laughing at her? She pushed him and he fell down the bed. "Ow" he muttered. She sat up. "Did it hurt?" she mocked.

"It was you darling! How could I get hurt?" he spoke, getting up. That arrogant ass. "What have you done Nick? Why are you doing this?" she asked moving to the other side of the bed when Nick got up.

Did the guy actually fire her? Of course he did. The deal was outrageous. Nick didn't take lightly to being fleeced and so he had refused, no mention of Honey whatsoever. He sighed. Well, why not play along if she was sure that Nick had gotten her fired. "I just told you yesterday. You thought I wouldn't be able to do it?" he asked holding her close.

"Why?" she asked.

When he didn't answer she got extremely frustrated.

He hugged her. Maybe he should just tell her he had nothing to do with it. But would she believe him?

"What do you want?" she asked furiously. 

She wouldn't get any other job if he didn't want her to. She gave in. "Fine. I'll stay. Just let Emily stay in the flat."

Wow, he didn't think it would work. Yes he had bought the flat but there was no way he was going to ask them to vacate. What had the owner told them? He would have to check later. It turned out to be in his favor. "Not like this, darling" his lips twitched.
