Nathaniel's friend kept staring at the timid lady who was hugging his suit tightly to stop the shivering, he lowered the temperature of his car to make her comfortable. She looked at the lady that was in deep thoughts, unaware of her environment.
He sighed and shook his head, his friend was a dumbass.
"I'm Nicholas by name but family calls me Nick and you can call me that because you are now my sister in law" he winked at her through the rear mirror and she smiled shyly at him then turned away to look at the scene passing on the street as the car was moving.
He raised his brow waiting for her to tell her name even when he had, "Won't you tell this gentleman who introduced himself?".
"Oh?" she said in a question before rubbing her hands together, "I'm Angelina".
"No shortening?" he asked while she nodded.
"Well, I'll give you one" he hummed, dancing with his head as he drummed his fingers on the steering wheel.
"Lina," he chirped.
She smiled softly at his enthusiasm, "can you please drop me at my apartment?" she requested, "I've something to take and I need to inform my friend, she's waiting for me at my apartment" she added, seeing him nodded his head before asking for her address and drove off.
A perfect silence settled between them, he stared at the lady again who was fiddling with her fingers as she was moving uncomfortably when he drove to her street.
She got down from the car, packing her gown with one hand and using the other to close the door,bowing her head a little in gratitude before scurrying inside but Nick didn't miss a beat by following her in long strides.
She walked on the stairs hurriedly through the stairs to the third floor, stopping at the brown door before bending down to the carpet rag to take the spare key. She opened the door to have her friend jump on her.
"You are back" she squealed, hugging her tightly, "How is the work?, how much were you given?, how.." She bombarded her with questions.
"Yuko!, release the girl, let her breathe and your questions are too much" Nick piped in, rolling his eyes.
"Davis" Bella seethed, unattaching her hands from her friend's neck before staring at the smirking pain in ass.
"Surprise to see me darling" Nick winked at her to see her clenching her fist.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" she asked, towering to Nick's frame whereas she looked like a dwarf to him.
"Duh duh" he mocked, flickering her forehead, "Don't tell me you aren't happy to see this brother of yours" he wiggled his brow as she hit his hand away.
"Step brother" she stressed 'step'.
"Step or not, there's still brother" he laughed while humping.
"I think with you showing up every time, I'll think you are stalking me" she tutted.
"Lina" he called,staring at the lady who was looking at him and her friend dumbfounded.
"Lina?" Belle exclaimed, watching her friend to his excuse of a brother hawkily.
"Yeah" he confirmed, "My friend" he grinned impishly.
"What?" her eyes widened comically, "she's mine!" she growled, holding Angelina's wrist.
"Her husband is my best friend and that practically makes her my friend".
"Hus what?" she stared at her friend for explanation while Angelina hung her head low.
