He's Her Billionaire Series

Chapter 3

Chapter 5-02

2 hours later we're in an Uber on our way to kook, kook is an amazing night club it's actually pretty new but I've heard it's a really popular one. Many of our guests from Nevada hotel go to that club and let me tell you something they don't always come back sober.

"Promise me you'll have fun tonight Retty", Tammy says grabbing hold of my hand. I nod my head sending her a weak smile. After a few drinks, I should be able to let loose and have some fun.

"We're here" tammy shouts as she jumps out of the taxi.

"Sorry "I quickly say to the taxi driver handing him the money, "she drank before".

"Keep the change, " I say quickly following Tammy inside.

"I'm going to get us some drinks okay", I shout over the music as I point in the direction of the bar. It wasn't too late so the bar didn't have a long line.

"Sure, babe meet me in that section over there" she points to a seating area in the corner.

I shimmy my way over to the bar ordering two sets of tequila shots and vodka mixes.

I make my way to Tammy and immediately stop in my tracks at what I see before me. Tammy my best friend talking to none other than Nathaniel.

The devil himself.

I turned back around before he could see me. I didn't want to even be near him, who would Tammy be talking to him.

Tammy doesn't seem to be talking but I know she is listening, Nathaniel must be doing all the talking.

Probably spouting some lies to her. No doubt he's seen the article about what actually happened but even with that I know how he really feels about me and I don't want to hear another word from his mouth.

"Would you like to dance miss"

A voice from behind says. I turn around to see a very handsome man he looks to be in his early 30's he is wearing a clean-cut suit and has the most cutest dimples ever.

Nodding I take his hand and lead us both to the dance floor.

Luckily for me, my friend is tonight's Dj, I signal for him to play a slower song, not so slow that we need to slow dance but just enough to set the mood. Gold slugs by Dj Khaled comes on, perfect.

For a while, we just move together but his dancing is a little weird so I quickly link him with some chick who's been staring at him for the last 20 minutes.

I never had a problem with dancing alone it's when I feel the most comfortable, I start to move to the music, swaying my hips while I run my hands through my hair and down my body, soon tammy joins me moving in the same way as me but suddenly pulls a guy to dance with us.

Thinking that I'm becoming outnumbered I step out and walk over to the bar again.

"I'll have a margarita please," I say to the bartender who's talking to a man who I can't see since he has his back to me. The girl seems to be annoyed by my presence so she just carries on talking to him. Blatantly ignoring me.

"Hello, can I please get a drink," I say frustrated with this woman.

I was about to turn around and get out of this place before a voice pulls me back. Very familiar, the same huskiness and power. Him

Nathaniel Tesoro

He was standing behind the bar making me a drink, he's removed his jacket so now his muscles are more visible for me to see and for my attention to become diverted, great.

"your margarita, sorry for the wait I will make sure she is fired," he says shrugging his jacket back on. I nod silently taking a sip from my drink. I managed to go by my word of not speaking to him.

Wow, he can actually make a drink, there I was thinking he had no talent. Which is pretty ignorant of me actually. How can he make sure she is fired you'd have to be the boss, wait oh, of course, Nathaniel obviously owns this club. Businessmen always like to have their foot in a lot of different enterprises.

I quickly finish my drink slamming the glass back on the bar. I quickly scan my eyes over the club hoping to spot Tammy somewhere . I find her she's in that seating area with a few other girls. Tammy has an act for making friends when we are out.

She's seeing someone too so I doubt she will be flirting with any guys.

I start walking through the crowd heading towards my best friend. I offer my apologies to all the people I accidentally nudge, but only earn some disgusted faces when they realise it's me who pushed them.

Walking through the crowd my mind casts back to a certain brown-eyed billionaire. Lost in my thoughts i suddenly feel a strong arm circling my waist, it pulls me toward a chest a rather hard chest.

The harsh impact causes me to fall slightly which makes my hair fall down on my face covering my features completely.

A finger is placed under my chin where my head is pushed upwards. I still can't see anything but somehow it doesn't matter right now. The way his fingers are so gentle on my skin.

Butterflies erupt in my stomach, if it wasn't for his tight hold on me, I would be on the floor with my weak legs.

" Can we talk, I really need to talk to you, Loretta?" Nathaniel says.

" I think you've said enough Nathaniel. I have to go" I pushed away from him and stumbled back to Tammy who looked at me with worry.

She nods at me while grabbing both our purses before leading us out the back of the club.

As soon as I'm outside I stop. I'm gasping for air my chest feels right almost like I can't breathe his

When we arrived back at the house I laid down on my bed after kicking off my heels. Tammy stood at the side of the bed just staring at me.

"You like him don't you," Tammy says still staring at me.

"No I don't have a crush on him he's just really intimidating," I say playing with the material on my dress. She sends me a weird look before she heads to her room probably to get some sleep.

I don't know but he seemed calmer and more genuine when he asked to speak to me tonight. I knew that by now he would have understood the meaning on my visit today and probably heard from his family about my parents too.

Would I be stupid to give him the chance to really say sorry?

I slowly get underneath my blanket and drift off into a sweet slumber with only one person on my mind.

Chapter 6-01

"Tammy can you get the door" I practically scream from my bathroom.

It has been 2 whole weeks since that night in the club. Me and Tammy had finally moved into our apartment after dad was happy with the renovations. I haven't heard from Nathaniel since then, from what I've seen online I could see that he was busying himself with business.

Thomas seemed to be thriving with all the attention he was getting online. I had heard rumours that Nathaniel contacted him but I didn't stay long to hear more than that.

"Hi mum, hi dad," I say pulling on my left sock, hopefully, they won't look so scary if I try and avoid eye contact with them.

"Retty look at us", my dad urges " we're not mad promise".

Isn't that what they all say before they shout at you? Plus, my dad doesn't normally keep his promises.

I finally look up at my dad's red and puffy eyes which make him look old and tired and can't help but feel like this is because of me, my eyes turn to my mum, surprisingly she has a smile on her face she looks happy and that makes me happy for that moment anyway.

"I'm heading out Retty see you tonight alright"

Tammy says from the door before disappearing, I could be mad that she is leaving me with my parents but then again, I guess I do need some alone time with them we have a lot of things to talk about.

" I really don't want to speak to him dad, can't you just accept my decision" I begged him. When dad knew about happened he wanted me to have dinner with Nate and his father.

" But why Nate is a lovely guy and Michael his father really wants to meet you," Mom said.

Originally I wanted to keep mine and Nathaniel's confrontation a secret but I now realise I couldn't keep this from them.

" Something happened when I went to his office dad. I was just doing a favour for Thomas but instead, he accused me of being a gold digger" my mum gasped as she heard me.

Dad stared at me with disbelief. " He did what!" he exclaimed.

Mum sighed as she embraced me.

" you have to remember what that boy deals with every day he has girls left right and centre wanting to be with him just for the money, the fame and everything else" My dad's face seems to calm down a bit and he returns to his calm and composed state.

Well now I feel like more of an i***t, all I got from the papers and the news articles was that he was a womaniser and he would have women every week but that was his preference.

"I suppose you're right honey but he's not off the hook yet I will have a word with him be sure of it," dad says looking at me directly.

I huff in annoyance "alright since that's cleared up can you go now "

I hate being rude to my parents but they're totally invading my personal space right now. There's a reason why I live in an apartment away from my parents.

"Sweetie you don't understand it's crazy out there," My mum says grabbing her phone.

"Crazy?"

"You're all over the news, in the papers Loretta you're practically famous "my mum finishes scrolling through her phone, famous? is she joking?

"Loretta" my father calls out my name. "They had pictures of you and Nate at the club, and also people at the office have come out to spread news, not necessarily good news"

"Anyway, Loretta someone wants to meet you so we're going to take you to them now, so get ready my dad says grabbing his keys from the table.

Just when I thought my mum was going to leave she spins around and bends to my level on the sofa.

"Nice catch darling that boy is really handsome" she dragged out handsome in some weird teenager ogling kind of way, mum your married and old. Please don't forget that.

My mum whispers in my ear before following my dad out of the house.

I didn't ask who I was meeting so now I have no idea what to wear. After minutes of searching through my wardrobe, I decide to wear one of the new dresses I recently bought paired with some comfortable black trainers.

"Loretta are you ready " My dad's voice rumbles throughout the house. Having a final glance at the mirror I apply a little bit of mascara before leaving my room with my phone in hand.

"So is anyone going to tell me where we're going " we've been on the road for almost 20 minutes and they won't tell me where we're going or even who were meeting my mum is beyond giddy literally jumping up and down in her seat.

Dad, on the other hand, is trying to concentrate on the road I know that if he sneaks a peek into his rear mirror and sees my face he will break he can't handle my stares and glares so his eyes stay on the road is the only way he's going to get through this ride without receiving a smack in the back of the neck by my kind and caring mother.
