chapter 26

Previous Nicklaus' POV

I picked up the paper on my desk then looked at it reading, slowly a smile carved up on my face as I stacked my books in order and tore out a paper and then scribbled some replies and commentary on it while smiling softly. I then looked towards Natasha, the girl who sat at the end of the class at the window, beautiful. That's all I could think about. She was very beautiful.

I looked up towards the board where the teacher was and saw that she was still writing, I then made it into a paper plane and threw it over to Natasha, I peaked back over to the teacher who I now saw her charcoal eyes glaring at me, I swallowed dryly then looked away back in my book. She saw me, she is gonna be angry.

But peaking at Natasha as she giggled at my letter made a soft smile come across my face. I can feel that my cheeks were slightly flushed as she read my letter.

"Mr. Preminger"

I snapped back up to the board. My attention was at her now, her eyes were staring at me. "Meet me in my office after classes dismissed"

"Yes Miss Taylor"

I could hear Natasha innocently chuckle across the room, as I paid attention to the board.

I was just closing the door from behind as I exited the teacher's office, I took a few steps forward before collapsing on the wall for a breather.

"Hehe, sounds like miss Taylor really chewed you out Mr. School representative"

I jumped away startled by Natasha popping out of nowhere, she walked forward to me only inches away from kissing me. I felt conscious at the moment and slightly pushed her back startling her "wow, wow easy nah" she said, catching her balance.

"S-sorry it's just my reflexes" I said awkwardly rubbing the back of my neck

"You shouldn't be. I was the one who came close to you, right Nicklaus Preminger?"

"Haha, right Nat"

Nick's POV

"Nick!" I snapped out my little daydream when I heard Aaron calling my name.

It's weird  my mind went  back to the past for a moment, something I don't often look back on, some things are best left buried and forgotten and this was one of them; any memories that relate to the one that mothered my child. I wish it were a forgotten memory.

"Yes" I answered looking at him

He handed me the cup of milkshake before going to sit in my lap, "you know it's the public park right?"

"Hmmmm"

"What do you mean hmmm?" I asked as I took a sip

"Hmm" he tilts his head backward as his lengthy hair brushes against my nose tickling it

I then took his strawberry milkshake and switched it in with mine and sipped.

"Hey, you have your own!" He said out loud

"Hmm"

I sipped some then he grabbed it back and and started to sip it "now I two" he said

I chuckled at how cute he was when he was angry, I then tilts in for kiss but then he was "we're in public" he said

I smiled then closed my eyes "hmm"

"What?"

"Really trying"

"Really trying what?" He asked curiously

"Really trying to give a fuck, words from yours truly" I said hugging his was waist dragging him in closer then kissed the center of his head.

Aaron's POV

Right now I don't want to look up, I'm blushing. I don't like it because it makes me silly and seems easy. I don't want to be seen as young and helpless like I have no idea of what I'm doing but my heart is racing right now. This was a date but this was only for the sake of my revenge on his son.

I don't want to get side tracked either because it started off with a simple sweet gesture while Nick may not be entirely the same as his son and was more mature in all this. I don't want to lose myself and try to change the beneficial relationship into something other than what it is.

Cause to me what's worse than unrequited feelings being cheated? Maybe or maybe not. What's worse than having your love betrayed is having you delude yourself into believing that a beneficial relationship is actually more intimate and there is connection when there is not and get your Hope's up and everything only to be shot down.

The worst part is that I couldn't vent my feelings on him because I was the one to engage in this endeavor, no feelings attached, no commitment, just sleep with his dad until he catches us, what else to it.

After drinking our smoothies we then decided to go bowling, something I'm frankly not good at yet here is holding and positioning me how to throw a ball.

I did throw it, but still sucked. "With a little more practice" he said

"I didn't even hit one" I said flatly

"Yeah I get it, but with time comes the master skill called patience" he smiled at me

"You sound like an old man" I said coldly

It was then he clenched his fist and bit his lower lip, I chuckled oh so that's his limit so much for patience.

"I believe I demonstrated how youthful I can be" he said with the slight irritation in his voice

"But your still old"

I saw his smiled crack all the way up one side, I know I'm getting fucked tonight for this but do I give a fuck? Nope, not one bit pissing him off is worth it. Michael wasn't fun to pisd off. He'd give me the silent treatment and I always hated it. I prefer to see their annoyance, just something fun about it.

And Nick is no exception, but now fun's over and Daddy wants to punish me.

Corey's POV

I looked at Michael who just entered the apartment and gave me a kiss on the lips, he looked a bit at a loss. Down not in a good mood to say the least even though he was trying not to show it.

"Hey baby, how has your day been?" He asked in a genuine soft tone

"Pleasant, I've been taking pictures"

"That's good, can I see it?"

Michael when Aaron first introduced him I didn't think much of another one of Aaron's typical boyfriends. I'm surprised it lasted 2 years, at first I was just an ear to listen but I became special to him all because of one incident.

I believe it was when Johan got mad at me for taking his necklace, said some bloody awful things to me but nothing can hurt more than him blatantly telling me he'd never love me and that my face disgusted him.

He must have thought I was being bullied all along and they all were liars, in some ways I'm being so although I'm mostly emotionally neglected.
