Fated to be together or not [COMPLETED]

I am falling for him

Nicolle:

I cant believe he said that. I know he will never do that. But I had to slap him, because if I didn't, he had to say more to me. I think this slap should be enough for Mrs. Colton.

I cried my eyes out thinking that I had to slap him. Slap the most innocent soul I ever saw in my life. It was mid-night. I was sleeping when I felt his presence.

He was in balcony. Today he is sitting on a stair, which makes up his garden. He is sitting between all those flowers, but has a city view in front of him.

"Sorry Nicolle, I didn't mean that." He said when he saw me standing near the balcony door.

"I know. You were just angry. Who wouldn't be." I walked to his side, and sat on the grass. It was cold.

"Then why you tried to open my library. You seriously think I have a girl in there?" He was looking at me with a twinkle in his eyes. I don't know what it was, but I am sure he was laughing in his mind.

"At some point I did thought you had a girl in there. May be girls, or.." How can I say I was thinking he had b**m equipment inside and he can use that on me. I should shut my mouth now. But one look at him, and I know he understood.

"Oh My God. I never thought you had such an imagination. While I cant show you my library, you can be sure. There are no girls, or umm those sort of things inside. You know what I mean." He was trying hard to suppress his laughter.

His laughter made me punch him on his chest. But he winced and I immediately regretted my actions.

"I am sorry."

"For what?"

Now I cant directly say that sorry I thought you raped me, sorry I spoiled your salad, sorry I hit you on your chest, sorry I slapped you. The list is too long. But I used the obvious excuse.

"Sorry, I slapped you."

"It was well deserved. I was being a jerk. But I can assure you, I didn't mean that. I was just angry and you were not moving. You were just keep on saying that its your room too, and something like that. I had no option but to say something worse." He is beyond his drink limit today.

"You should sleep now. I think you have had enough."

"Can I ask you something." He asked me with his eyes looking at the city lights.

"Yes."

He looked at me with certain sadness in his eyes. And then he looked away.

"Why did you marry me?"

I was not ready for this question. He knows the answer very well.

"I had no option."

He chuckled. His smile is magnetic.

"What if you had an option. I mean lets say, hypothetically, Kevin and I. We both approached you at the same time. What would have been your answer."

I took a long breath and thought about the moment when I came from hospital and saw Alex asking for my hand. I am trying to imagine Kevin on another couch, saying same words. What would have been my response.

"I don't know. May be I would have said no to Kevin, because he left me once. I really don't know."

"Ok, then let me ask you again, with little details. Kevin contacted me today. He wants you back."

I was shocked. Kevin asked Alex that he wants me back. What the hell!

"You are drunk Alex. We will talk about it tomorrow." I tried to stand but Alex hold my hand and pulled me closer.

"Please tell me your answer Nicolle. I want to know."

"We can talk about it tomorrow when you are sober."

"But I want the answer right now."

"I am not discussing this matter. Lets get inside. Its getting cold." I tried to walk away but he was being stubborn.

"No, I will not move until you answer my question." he pulled me closer to him and I could feel his warm breath on my face.

"If this is the case, you can say no to him."

He laughed and lied down on the grass. My hand was free now. He pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Ok, I will reply on your behalf. I will share your number if he wants to confirm." he said with another laughter. What happened to him.

"You got your answer, now please come inside."

"Somehow, I knew your answer. I just wanted to check if what I thought is correct or not." He said and tried to stand up. I helped him.

Why is he behaving like this. And then I remembered. He knows why I married him. So for him, my No means - I am more interested in my revenge. And he is laughing on his fate. Damn it. I wish I could do something about this. I made him sit on couch and sat beside him.

"You know why I said No to Kevin?"

"I know exactly why."

"No, you don't. Now please get some sleep. Its already mid night and you need to wake up early for office. You might get a nasty hangover."

I helped him and in few seconds he was asleep. When I made sure he was sleeping, I went a little closer to him.

Dim bedroom light was making his face glow more than ever. I am looking at his face for the first time now. I mean, the way I should look at my husband. He has thick eyelashes and strong jawline. His lips are reddish pink, which made me chuckle. Why am I looking at his lips.

He is muscular, and if he takes me in his arms, I can hide myself completely. His hairs were well maintained, but some of them were falling on his face.

I went closer to him and removed his hairs from his face. His face is pulling me towards him. I wanted to feel a kiss. I know I cant kiss him when he is awake, so should I steal this moment?

With my lips brushing his lips, I parted my lips, licked his lower lip and then with a short kiss, I pulled back.

I was afraid he might wake up. But he was still sleeping. His mouth little open. So I closed the distance once again and touched my lips with his. An electric bolt hit me and my whole body felt the need for his touch.

I controlled myself and didn't engage my tongue. But I kept on kissing him. He felt me and let out a soft moan. I broke the kiss and looked at him. He was opening his eyes but was still sleepy. I wanted the kiss again. I was hungry for the kisses. So I leaned in once again and crashed on him. He moaned and started kissing me. I could feel goosebumps on my body when he placed his palm on my face. But he was too drunk, so I had to pull back and with one last peck, I moved towards the bed.

Lying on the bed, I kept on thinking why I kissed him. Is it because I am falling for him? I think yes, because all this time I was considering him a friend, then enemy. But now when I know about him, I finally saw him as husband and he is one dashing man. And his heart is more beautiful than him. I am falling hard for him. But I need to make sure he loves me too before confessing. I also need to find a way to take him away from Mrs. Colton for few days. To give him and this relation some space. But how can I take him away when he is so consumed in his work. I can think of only one thing. I hope he doesn't take it otherwise.
