Chapter 37:
Zack's POV:
Nadia was looking at me as if she was going to kidnap me if I didn't agree on what she was saying, and I have to admit that I liked that since she finally realized that she was just being stubborn and stupid for making the worst decision in the history of the bad decisions.
However, I wasn't going to hold her hand immediately, she had to realize that our relationship wasn't a game; one day, she's in and the next day, she's out. Things don't work like that, and I intended to show her that.
The key word is: Intended.
I never got to make my point of view because just like I did to her in the hospital, she crushed her lips on mine just to get an answer for my question. My brain was urging me pull back, but everything in me beside it, refused to let go.
Nadia was kissing me as if her depended on it, even when I didn't kiss her back. However, when she took it to the second level by biting my lower lip, I couldn't hold back and gave her access to what she wanted.
I could feel her grin against my lips, which resulted on mine to break against my lips, she got the reaction she wanted; we totally forgot that we were in the middle of the driveway and that the cab's driver, was still there looking at us, we were lost in the moment, until he started coughing to get out attention.
"What?" Nadia snapped at him "I didn't see him properly for more than a month, can't you just wait?"
"God be with you Sir, she's really crazy" The driver commented, making me burst out laughing at him "Am I taking anyone to the airport?"
"No" Nadia retorted before I could even answer.
"Who said so?" I raised my eyebrow at her, quizzically.
"Maybe I should've kidnapped like I suggested to Oliver" She mumbled under breathe.
"Kidnap me? Then what? Tie to me to the bed?" I chuckled at her weird expressions, probably forgetting what she was wearing.
"Man, I don't think she's kidding"
"It's okay, you can take out my luggage" I ordered him, ignoring the strange looks he was giving me.
"Thank you and I am sorry if I was rude with you" Nadia took out a man's wallet and payed him as soon as he took out my luggage.
"It's okay and good luck man" He started the engine and headed off.
"You realize that you freaked him out" I turned and looked at her "Look at what you're wearing first"
"I know" She lowered her gaze to her clothes "I ran out of the house like a maniac"
"We need to talk, let's go" I gestured at the car.
"Let's go home" She smiled widely at the last word.
I missed her presence in the apartment...
She drove us back to the apartment in utter silence, while I kept looking at her from the corner of my eyes. She was wearing a coat on top of pajamas and her hair was messy, but still she managed to look beautiful to me, how was that even possible?
Collen was surprised when he saw me because I told him my goodbyes already and made sure that he could call me if he ever needed anything. However, I was the one surprised when he gave Nadia thumbs up when he saw her, gaining a low chuckle from her.
What was going on?
I was curious but I thought that it wasn't important so I just shrugged it off and just gestured at Nadia to get into the waiting elevator. The air was charged with electricity in the small space, but I knew exactly what it was all about, it was the attraction between Nadia and I.
It was the same attraction I felt two days ago when we were supposedly having our closure. In fact, the moment Nadia stepped in the lifts, I thought she was stopping me from leaving, not asking for a proper goodbye, which made me kind of disappointed and I lost hope in us, however, when I saw her car stopping the cab in the driveway, a feel of excitement overcame me.
Not that I was admitting that to her anytime soon...
I opened the apartment's door and walked-in, expecting Nadia to be following me but when I turned my head, she was still standing by the doorway, hesitantly. I walked back to her and tried to read her face's expression but failed miserably since she was looking at the inside of the apartment blankly.
"What are you doing there?" I questioned her, curiously.
"I'm sorry" She blurted, looking at the ground "I can't enter before we sort everything out"
"You want us to discuss our relationship in the hallway?" I chuckled, thinking that she was probably kidding but when I got her serious face as an answer, I realized that she was deadly serious "Why?"
"The last time I left, I was holding my bags leaving you" She lifted her head slightly but her eyes didn't dare to look at mine "When I enter, I want to enter with you, I mean us together, without anything holding us back, no excuses, no doubts, nothing"
I understood what she meant, she was afraid that our conversation would take a different path than the one she planned in her mind, then she would have to leave the apartment defeated. Little did she know that once I saw what her raw emotions for me on the driveway, without confusion in her eyes, I decided that I would never let her go, even she begged me to do it.
"Okay, then I am all ears" I crossed my arms to my chest, feigning seriousness although I forgave her already, I only wanted to know what she really thought.
"Every time I saw you, I wanted to throw myself on you, especially when you wore your stupid eyeglasses" She made the cutest face expression and I literally  fought the urge to pinch her cheeks "You looked ridiculously handsome and attractive, and women kept staring at you"
"You should've thrown yourself on me, I would've caught you gladly" I commented, gaining a glare from Nadia.
"Anyways, I was just scared of losing grandpa" She confessed, locking her eyes with mine "When I saw him that day at the hospital, laying on that bed, the coward in me, was afraid and decided to run away instead of facing her problems the way they should have been solved"
"You mean, you should've listened to me" I stated, furrowing my eyebrows when I remembered the way Nadia was looking at me with disgust in her eyes "You were disgusted for god's sake"
"I heard what you said to your grandpa then with Anna's words, I didn't even know what to believe" She stopped talking, took a deep breathe then proceeded talking "I didn't want you to explain because I took it as an excuse to leave you, but staring at the hurt in your eyes back there in the bathroom, I was sure that you wouldn't do anything that could hurt me" She looked pained as tears started strolling down her face
"But what made you change your mind so quickly?" I asked, looking at her for more explanations although I desperately wanted to wipe her tears "I mean two days ago you wanted a closure then you want me back" I added when confusion covered her face.
"I struggled to sleep because of the thoughts that were clouding my mind"
"What thoughts?"
"Of you being with another woman" She replied, frowning at the thought "Then Sam enlightened me"
"Sam? Your six years old sister?" I blurted, not believing the words coming out of her mouth.
"Yes and her teddy bear helped the case as well" She added, laughing at her own words.
"So you're saying that a young girl and her teddy bear did what two heads of companies, couldn't do?" I wanted confirmation since the situations was quite absurd to believe.
"Now, will you forgive my stupidity?" She pouted at me adorably, her eyes stopped tearing up and her lips gained their pink color thanks to the heat of the building, making me lose all my attempts of being serious.
I held her wrist and pulled her to my chest in a swift motion, making her gasp at what I did but once she looked at my eyes and saw determination in them, she was the one who smashed her lips on mine urgently and leaded the kiss, and I left her do that because the idea of her desiring me as much I desired her was making me lose my strings.
"I got my answer, no need to talk" She grinned against my lips then she pushed me against the wall "Now, let's enter before someone catches us ripping each other" She whispered the last part.
The distance really gave her confidence, and I liked it.
"A woman never asks twice" I lifted her by her hips as she wrapped her legs around my torso and I entered the apartment with her in my arms, intending to show her exactly how I missed her, emotionally and physically.
/*For those who were only waiting for Nadia and Zack to get back together after their epic hate, the story ends here, but while writing the entire story, I imagined a perfect end for them, so I will be adding bonus chapters! I hope you'll like them*/
*******
I had no idea what time it was since I accidentally broke my nightstand watch and our phones were still somewhere on the floor along with our clothes. However, I could tell that it was past 2 pm since we defiantly slept for a while, especially that we both hadn't slept the night before.
I was carelessly laying on the sofa, waiting for Nadia to bring Coffee as she insisted on both of us drinking so we could gain back our sanity. The smell of coffee filled my nostrils and soon enough, Nadia threw herself beside me with two big mugs of coffee.
She rested both of the mugs on the wooden table then she rested her head on my shoulder and inhaled deeply, closing her eyes for few seconds while I took my time, staring at her; she was wearing a set of pajamas that I still kept in the closet even after she left, however, I would've been more satisfied if she wore one of my shirts.
"I should give you back your jacket, now that I have you back" She nuzzled her nose on my skin.
"And my handkerchief as well" I chuckled at her "The one you forgot to hide when I came to see you after the meeting"
"What handkerchief?" She played dump, lifting the mug of coffee and bringing it to her lips.
"You think I didn't notice how flushed you were when I entered, you probably brought the piece of fabric to your nose as soon as you were alone and smelled it, I know you" I teased her until she started glaring at me adorably.
The entire afternoon was basically spent, laying aimlessly on the sofa, talking as if we hadn't met for years. Nadia was quite surprised when she saw that nothing changed at the apartment and that everything remained the same after she left, because she thought I would be so angry that I would probably throw all of her things.
In fact, after she left, I didn't even enter her bedroom, I just asked the maid that grandma hired to clean the mess I made when I hit the vase, that's it. I lived in the bedroom not the apartment since everything in the apartment reminded me of her, and my ego refused to be defeated to my feelings so I decided to try to avoid things that were related to her.
And another part of me somehow hoped she would be back....
"Hello?" Nadia answered the phone despite my tries to convince her to ignore it "Yes... I'm fine grandpa... I only left early... I will be back in an hour... Okay... I will be careful... Goodbye"
"Why didn't you tell him that we're together, I mean you're with me?" I frowned at her the moment she sat beside me.
"I have to talk to him face to face" She explained, popping her chocolate eyes at me.
"I won't pretend anymore and I won't leave you" I told her, maintaining a straight face because I was sick of stupid games.
"I don't us to pretend again but I don't want him to have a heart attack over the phone" She pleaded "Just two days"
"Two days? Â What's holding you back?"
"Please"
As I was looking at her, I knew exactly what I was going to do, and I was sure that Nadia would be on cloud nine thanks to what I was planning. However, I didn't want her to suspect anything so I cleared my throat and acted like I didn't like her need of the two days
"I'm not convinced but I'll accept only if we meet tomorrow night"
"But not outside" She lifted her pinkie finger and gestured at it with her eyes.
"How old are you? Five?" I laughed at her but did as she wanted.
"Only you can bring the child in me" She kissed my cheek before she stood up "I need to take a shower and get ready to go" She ran to the bedroom
"Is that an invitation for me to join you?" I called back after her, making her walk back to the lounging area and throw a pillow on me.
"Pervert"
"But you weren't saying this earlier when..." I laughed at her flushed cheeks as she stormed back to the bedroom.
I turned on my phone and called Oliver in order to make the necessary arrangements for what I had in mind for the day after. Oliver was relieved that I didn't go and that Nadia could stop me, he even told me that she would've kidnapped me if I didn't stay willingly, which resulted on both of us bursting out laughing at Nadia's antics.
While waiting for Nadia to get ready, I noted to myself to look for John's number, the man who was going to make my night with Nadia unforgettable. However, the only issue is that I didn't have any clue where and what he was doing in his life; I lost contact with him after mom's death.
After what seemed like thirty minutes, Nadia reappeared wearing black jeans and one of my hoodies, her hair was tied in a bun above her head while her face was makeup free. She came all the way and threw herself beside me.
"I see you got used to my clothes" I pulled her closer to me, kissing the side of her head.
"What should I do? I like how you smell, it's addicting like drugs" Se turned in my arms and smiled up at me.
"Your words are making me regret that I gave you two days" I whispered in her ear "I wish you could stay, And I get to taste strawberries and vanilla on you"
"Not all dreams are meant to come true" She winked at me seductively, and intended to stand up but I tightened my hold on her.
"You bet?" I kissed the spot behind her ear, daring to trail soft kisses all the way down her neck "I can try and you will allow me"
"Zack" She breathed, pushing her head back "Stop" She whispered, running out of breathe.
"Have you said anything?" I draw circles on her palm, proceeding my torturous movements.
"I said stop" She pushed me and stood on her feet, hurriedly as if she knew that her body would betray her if she stayed beside me for few more seconds "I'll be late"
"I don't see why it's concerning me" I said but of course she ignored me.
My phone vibrated on the wooden table, signaling that I received a message from grandma, asking me why I had canceled the flight, and telling me that she was expecting me for breakfast the next morning since grandpa needed me, and cancelling was forbidden.
'What did grandpa need?' I wondered, throwing my head back on the sofa and raising my feet on the wooden table 'Was my father concerned? Did someone saw me entering the building with Nadia and told her? She surely had eyes everywhere, she was Mrs. Collins after all'
I had no space to think because Nadia stood behind the sofa, pulled on my hair, making me lean my head furthermore backward, and she pressed her lips on mine, seductively and slowly, obviously trying to tease me. However, I was fast and Ireached for her hands that rested on both sides of my head, and flipped her over, until she was laying on top of me on the sofa.
"You're crazy, you know that?" She giggled as soon as she lifted her head slightly.
"Crazy for you" I winked at her, teasingly, I lifted my hoodie and started tickling her exposed skin, gaining hysterical laughter to fill the entire apartment.
That was what I could live for...
