Chapter 161

But these were not the only things he forgot or were not accustomed to, there were more. 

Big things like not responding to her messages all day because he was busy was a valid excuse, not sending her home because he was busy was okay too, but good morning and good night text messages were compulsory because she wanted to be the first and last thing on his mind every day. She was being silly, but he indulged her anyway. 

One thing she would not forgive was Nicholas forgetting to compliment her on a new dress, or accessory she wore that day. It was as if she expected him to memorize her whole wardrobe. She would parade in front of him to give him hints, touching the accessory or dress that he should notice.

It was a game they would play, and as soon as he noticed, she would pretend to appear modest. "Oh Nick, stop it, I'm not that beautiful for you to compliment me every breathing second."

He just rolled his eyes at her shamelessness.
