Nathan woke up early to exercise and wash up before grabbing his papers to go through them once again. Since he had the memories of his past life his work was literally copying and pasting down things on to his laptop and a little bit a fine tuning them.
'This wasn't cheating, okay?'
He felt really bored for the past 4 days. He tried texting Katelyn but his messages where left unread. He couldn't help but feel helpless. She was really avoiding him with her methods.
He knew that was another tactic into making him dislike her that why he patiently waited for the time she would pick up the phone.
Nathan worked through the whole morning till evening at home. He was waiting for Katelyn to at least send something. He couldn't help but feel anxious after what happened a few days ago.
The dream sent chills down his spine as he remembered the lifeless Katelyn and how it wasn't him who came to save her.
Just thinking about it made his heart hurt and change the surroundings into a cold one.
'Katelyn who exactly tried to poison you?' He thought for awhile.
His wife never really had much contact with people after work and much less enemies. Katelyn worked as a wedding dress designer and he must say that her dress had become one of the top brands over the few years.
He remembered that she had a lot of orders from many and had always put her heart and soul into making such a thing. The job was something she enjoyed and suited her.
Sadly he remembered that their wedding was nothing more than a formal trip to get their wedding done. He even remembered that the rings they chose were picked by his secretary.
He knew how much a wedding meant to a woman yet here he was ruining it by not having one. He remembered that he had an important trip overseas so they never had the wedding, but they did have a honeymoon that was booked in Maldives where they did not hold back at all. But still...
Just thinking about those moments made him feel stupid!
He pinched the space between his brows and sighed. He black eyes looked at the ceiling.
"Should I go out?" It was a decision that he would absolutely love since he didn't expect seeing a certain someone.
- Red Chess Bar -
"Nathan... are you okay?" He studied the man who was drinking his wine. Today he was surprised by his sudden visit.
Nathan ignored Matthew who was inquiring about him. He could see that man was interested by his sudden motive to come out and drinks.
'I kinda regret coming out to drink with them.'
Currently in the room the eight of them sat down and had a meet up in his private room. He thought that it would be only be the two of them but who knew that this cunning man Matthew called the group.
'Dammit Matthew!!!'
"I heard that you had a blind date. How was it? Did the woman go crying away in tears?" This time the playboy Daniel spoke. He wiggles his eyebrows up and down with a handsome smile. His brown hair and eyes complemented his looks. His killer smile was all a lady needed. Plus his reputation exceeded him in many places. He was a businessman that specialized in video game development and was a successful one.
It because he almost messed with every lady there was.
'Except my wife.'
"It's not like he's a monster. But that mouth came from hell for sure." This time it Micheal who spoke. He looked exactly like Matthew if it was for his blond hair colour that he dyed.
"Leave the man alone, has he bother you at all today?" Aaron rolled his eyes at the twins and Daniel. He was looking at them like they were loud animals in a zoo.
"Bro! Spill what happens at the date! I pretty sure this was your tenth or something date right?" Matthew nudged the man.
"What would I get if I tell you?" Nathan asked back and the other immediately responded.
"Gossip" Micheal smiled.
"Advice" Matthew added.
"Insult" Daniel made fun of it.
Nathan felt his mouth twitch. Why did he come here? But on second thought these three were here making a joke of things. Guess he would crush their dreams.
"Nope, I'm getting married soon." He said causally.
Well he wasn't lying. Technically he and Katelyn will get married in about 5 months. His parents and Katelyn's parents agreed on it.
Partly because he pushed his parents to. He remembered that his mother was so happy that she started crying in the phone yelling that he was getting a wife. Quite over the top right? But worth it!
But now he had yet to capture Katelyn and also to confess. Seriously chasing your wife was hard and long job.
Crash!! Smash!! Shatter!! Cough!! Cough!!
"TRISTAN!!! I think I'm going deaf!! Did you hear what he just said?!" Matthew hit the other man beside him who was equally shocked by his statement.
"I heard and I'm pretty sure you weren't dead until you heard his words." Tristan rubbed his shoulder. His cup broke and fell onto the floor, he looked at the premium wine with heartache.
'My wine...'
"This is crazy, are you really getting married or were you joking?" Jacob who recovered from his coughing for asked.
"Your right I was joking." Nathan replied dryly making the rest speechless.
Everyone: "....."
"I haven't even proposed yet. So marriage is on route." He seriously thought.
"Eli... did your brother go to hospital recently? Is this really Nathan and not an imposter?" Adan asked Eli who was also shocked silly.
"Eli!! Are you here with me?!" Adan shook him to get him back into the game.
"Do you want to know what's funny? A friend asked me same thing 4 days ago. She said that the Nathan at her date was an imposter-" he covered his mouth.
'SHIIIT!!! My big mouth!!!' Eli looked and saw that everyone turned to him.
The twins had a mischievous grin and Daniel also had a smile. Aaron and Tristan looked curiously and Jacob had already put his arm around him so he couldn't escape. Even Adan's eyes had glint saying he wanted to know everything.
'I shouldn't have come.' He wanted to cry but no tears were shed.
He was the youngest here and for sure they would bully him to no end. But he would keep his promise to Katelyn even if he was merciless bother by these guys.
"Hmm let's see~, Eli would you be so kind to tell us who the blind date is?"
"Umm I don't know-" Eli wanted to refuse.
"Katelyn Evertine." Nathan answered for his brother.
"What?! You had a date with such an angel?! I'm seriously pissed!!" Jacob complained only to get a cold glare from Nathan.
"That's my woman your talking about. Hands off!" Nathan growled and his aura coldly came off his body.
For the second time everyone in the room looked at Nathan like he was a new being found on planet earth. Even Aaron who was second in having to worst history with woman looked at him strangely.
'Is this really the Nathan they know?' They all thought.
