KIM POV:
5 years later
"Hello, where the hell are you Nathaniel and why didn't you come home last night? Mum was wide awake and worried about you till I convinced her to sleep around 4 a.m. this morning. I'm on my way to work, call me when you get my message." I said to the voicemail.
Sighs down. I'm currently standing in front of the building I work at. The company opens at 8 a.m. but I get to work by 7 a.m., since the security guys always on duty 24/7 doing shifting duties, so as to get some work done quietly since it's a Monday morning.
On getting inside I took the late to the 34th floor which was very quiet as usual for you Monday morning. on my way to my office I saw a light coming from the photocopying room.
I tiptoed quietly to the janitor's room on my floor, each floor has its own room for the cleaners. As I turned the knob for the door it was opened, thank god it wasn't locked. I picked a broom, dropping my bag gently on the janitor's table and tiptoeing out towards the photocopying room. I could see the silhouette of a man due to the illuminating light from the photocopying machine.
He was wearing a white long sleeved shirt tucked in a black pant trouser and a waistcoat, the only thing missing is the Armani suit. From his back view, I could see that he had broad shoulders, a well chiselled jawline and hair I would like to run my hands through to feel its silky texture. Where did that thought come from? Naughty thoughts stay faraway. I caution myself. This man could be a thief for all I know but there's no way a thief can dress this way, right?
"Drop the broom Miss Grant." I shrieked because I wasn't expecting it. How did you even know I was there, does he have an eye at the back of his head?
"No, but I could see your face from the mirror on the photocopying machine." I didn't realise I said it out loud until he replied.
"And who the hell are you?" I questioned "I'm working in this building." He replied.
"Is that the question I asked you? Don't try to act smart with me." I told him.
He faced me and I was met with the most handsome eyes I've ever seen. I didn't even know he was talking to me, all I could see was his mouth moving.
"My name is Mark. I work on the 35th floor. Like what you see." He said when he saw me oogling at him which I wasn't. Yes, you were and isn't he handsome? My inner self said. I groaned out loud.
"I'm also single in case you're wondering." He said arrogantly
I felt like slapping him to wipe off the smirk on his face but I quickly controlled myself. How I hate arrogant and cocky people. God,why do I have to see this bad luck on a early Monday morning? I hope I didn't say that loud but judging by the satisfied expression on his face, I didn't say it out loud.
"if you excuse me, I have a lot of work to do this morning unlike some people who likes loitering and flirting around." I quickly exit the room before he could reply and to get started on my work. I have done the audit for the next 2 months and I'm currently working on the third and fourth month. I like to be alert and prepare ahead of time.
NATHAN POV:
Flashback
Final exams are around the corner. The guys and I have already made plans for later tonight. After much deliberation, we decided to go to a nearby club. According to the Alex, we've been studying a lot and need a break since we have just this semester remaining together and everyone will soon be going there separate ways, so nothing will stop us from carrying out plan tonight. We've been planning this 4 weeks ago along with Amelia but she can't come with us because big bro forbade her too and because she isn't legal yet, it came as a surprise that when Tyler said it, she was sad at first. She did as if we didn't exist until two days ago she came to us with a great smile that we all looked at each other because someone was said "if you win bright smile signifies craftiness". But two days later she smiled and agreed immediately which caused I and the guys suspiciousness. she was so chirpy today that we abandoned on our lunch thinking she might have gone to the cafeteria area to specifically asked the chair to poison us, Tyler mind reasoned mildly.
I should have guessed what she wanted to do.
The voice of Kim brought me out of my reverie. Those were the days, I missed them.
Flashback continues
After graduation, Tyler and Noah went to NYU while Alexander and I stayed in Bedford for our studies. Not surprising, Amelia also stayed. I guessed she loves this small town.
We all met 4 years later for reunion and we decided to use a bar this time. They all brought their various girlfriends including me. I took Courtney with me and that's because I know she likes me and will do anything for the only thing I had for her was lust. Amelia hates her guys and vice versa and I don't know why because they were once the best of friends once a upon a time. Amelia came alone.
We all got so drunk the hangover the next day almost killed me. I looked to my side and I discovered that the red hair from last night wasn't by my side. I think I have fallen in love with her.
Weeks later, I was told Amelia left for Illinois to stay with Grandma Beatrice so as to take care of her. " Thank God, I'm finally free from the she-devil." Tyler said unenthusiasticly. We all felt the same way. She's like the little sister I never had.
End of flashback
I checked my voicemail and saw things clicking on it, I could imagine her face right now, "Hello, where the hell are you Nathaniel and why didn't you come home last night? Mum was wide awake and worried about you till I convinced her to sleep around 4 a.m. this morning. I'm on my way to work, call me when you get my message." I heard the machine says. I'll call her later. I need to sleep. My work is very demanding. I'm the district attorney for a company named Greenwood Manufacturing in New York, I come home on Fridays and go back on Sunday but I doubt I'll be able to go back for this week. We've a lot on unsolved ongoing cases.
