Chapter 22

"Nathan Harrison"

I went to the court where my friends were practicing the basketball. Mr Goodman were training them and I have promised to Bella that I will not play basketball again.

I sighed heavily while looking at my right foot. My basketball career ends here.

A very familiar evil laughter was coming from my backside along with many footsteps. So I quickly turned to that voice direction and saw Taylor and his friends smirking at me.

"Well....well Nathan Harrison is here." He took a seat beside me on the bench beside the court. "How's your foot going?"

He's purposely trying to test my patience, doesn't he?

His friends only laughed when heard that stupid bastard baited me.

"Just go away, Taylor." I replied, trying my hardest to hold myself from hitting him.

He laughed more. "Why don't you join the game, Nathan? Does your foot still hurt?"

"Just shut it, Taylor!!!!" I shouted at him while fastening my fist.

My teammates and Mr Goodman saw the quarrel between me and that jerk. They are swiftly approaching towards my direction.

"Or....maybe you can't play the game anymore?" He whispered to me.

Okay, that's it!!!

He already crossed his line now!!!

I scoot away from the bench and smacked him hard on the face that cause his lips bleeding right away

"You bastard!!!" I was above him, grabbing his shirt and was ready to punch him again. But he managed to push me that cause me slide several inches away from him.

Seth and my teammates were all fighting with Taylor's friends who want to attack me without me noticing about them.

Mr Goodman, our coach tried to stop us, but he completely failed. Even his favorite student, Henry joined the fight that disappoints him so much.

"I'll be the one who will become the team captain, if you retire from the team. And Bella..she will be mine too." Taylor grabs my collar and pushed me towards the wall with his fist ready to punch my face.

I gritted my teeth. "Damn you Taylor!!" I then kick him hard on his stomach. "She will never be yours!!"

Taylor falls on the ground with a position like he was kneeling in front of me. "Stupid...she will never be yours. Don't you remember, that day, where Mr Dawson came to get her back from you. You'll never see her again."

I scoffed. "You're wrong, jerk. 'Cause she already back to me."

He looks up at me with his eyes widened. "How can this be? I....I already sent that picture....and Mr Dawson went mad."

I grabbed his collar once again. "Just accept the truth that you lose, Taylor. She's already mine."

"No....that's can be happening!" He looks like he lost his sanity when I told him that. "Bella loves me, she wants me. No....!"

Okay, that's the prove that he already lost his mind.

Poor him.

After the big exam for this semester and of course I passed with my sweet wife helped me. Seriously, she is a genius and I'm so lucky to have her with me, by my side.

Her father, Mr Dawson offered me to work at his company as an intern, um...technically his company is mine too, but I am still underage to claim it, yet.

Sasuke is with me, he got the internship at the same place as mine, while the others, I still don't know about them, yet. Maybe they have their internship with their own family's company.

Oh yeah, my wife still doesn't have her internship yet for this semester, since she has a long way to go in the medical program.

"Nathan..." Bella called me from the kitchen.

"Yeah..." I answered her while wearing my white button up-shirt.

"Breakfast is ready."

"Alright, I'm coming!" I said while tucking in my shirt into my black slack. I then tame my messy hair a bit in front of the large mirror in my bedroom and saw that I was not wearing my necktie yet.

Where is it? Where did I put it?

I was searching for my it around the bedroom and still, I couldn't find it.

I am rushing towards the kitchen to ask my wife. "U-um....Bella. Did you see where did I put my tie? I think I lost it...." my knees start to trembling since today is the first day my internship starts. And I'll be working with my scary father-in-law.

She knits her eyebrow. "Nathan...calm down, will you?" She helped me to button up my shirt.

I took a deep breath and exhaled it back slowly. "Okay....now I'm all calm. So could you find my neck tie? I really don't remember where I put it."

She smiled. "Then, what is this?" She pulls the necktie from my backside pocket.

I grinned. "Hehehe...sorry, my bad."

She just shakes her head. "You're so silly, Nathan." She then helps me to tie my neck tie around my neck.

I shrugged. "I don't know what will happen if you're not here, Bella."

She then pinched my cheeks. "Your life will be miserable." She pushed me towards the chair in the dining room.

"Ouch....that's really deep for me to handle." I pouted my lips as I took a seat on the chair.

She giggled. "Now stop talking nonsense and eat your breakfast, will you?"

"Nope....until you give me what I want now." I protested.

She leaned closer to me and give me a back hug. "Just return home early and you get what you want." She whispered to me.

My cheeks become warm all of a sudden.

"I'll be waiting for you." She planted a kiss on my cheek.

I swallow hard for once.

Since when, she becomes naughty like this?

"Now eat your breakfast or you gonna be late."

"Y-yes...ma'am."

At the office....

"Hey dope since you're already married about a year now.... um... I-I want to ask you something?" We were drinking our latte on the balcony when he suddenly asked me that weird question.

Why did my best friend sounded so nervous right now?

Oh god...did he?

I look at him with a smirk on my face.

He knits his eyebrow. "Why are you smirking like an idiot, idiot?"

I sighed. "Stop calling me an idiot, will you?"

He snickered. "Whatever dude."

I shouldered him on his arm. "Come on, tell me, man. You want to propose to Sasha, aren't you?"

He gave me a surprise look. "Wait...how did you know..."

I chuckled. "Well.....I'm a bit expert about this, you know." I said arrogantly.

He rolled his eyes. "Oh please, dork."

"What? I'm telling you the truth, dude!"

"Ugh...forget about it!" He pushed me away from him and then walked towards the door. "But don't you ever tell anyone about this. Or I kill you!" He turned back to me.

"Whatever!" I stuck out my tongue.

"Come in, Nathan." Mr Dawson asked me to enter his office as I knocked his door.

There were two men in black suit in the room with Mr Dawson. An old man with has a scar under his chin and his left eye was closed with an eye patch. And, the other one is a bit younger than him, but he looks scary too.

"Nathan, this is our business partner, Franklin J Drake and his assistant, Thomas." Mr Dawson introduced them to me. "And gentlemen, this is my son-in-law, Nathan Harrison."

They look surprised a bit when Mr Dawson introduced me, but quickly covered it by shaking hands with me.

"Pleased to meet you, sir." I said with a smile.

"So, we are here to discuss about a business trip to New York. And Nathan, I want you to go there with them since I have an urgent meeting in LA during that day. Can you do it, for me Nathan?" Mr Dawson asked me.

Business trip?

New York?

"When?"

"It will be held in two days." Mr Dawson replied.

"But I'm still an intern..." I show him my tag.

Mr Drake laughed. "Don't worry, Mr Harrison. We're here to help you. Trust us."

I look at Mr Drake and then to his assistant, Thomas.

"It's just for a week, Nathan. And you will gain an experience while handling this event, for me." Mr Dawson patted my shoulder.

"U-um..... alright then." I hesitated at first, but I have to since Mr Dawson put his trust in me.

"That's good, Mr Harrison." Mr Drake gave me a smile. "My assistant, Thomas, here will accompany you to the New York. I will leave for New York tonight, because I need to settle a little thing there. And you and Thomas will depart to New York with my personal jet. What do you say?"

Why I have a bad feeling about this?

"Oh, that's so nice of you Mr Drake. Thank you for your offering to my son-in-law. We really appreciate it." Mr Dawson said he's grateful to his partner. "Nathan? "

"U-um, yeah..." I look at Mr Dawson who is waiting for my answer.

"What do you say?" he asked me.

"Well.... I think I will accept the offer. But in one condition."

"What is it, Mr Harrison?" Mr Drake quickly asked me.

"Can I bring my friend along with me?"

He smiled. "Of course you can, young Harrison."

I smiled back. "Thank you Mr Drake."

At our apartment....

I told my wife that I have to go to New York for the business trip. And she seems a bit worried about it. Well.... it's the first time I will be separate with her for a while, minus that our little incident months ago.

"Come on, it's just only for awhile." I tried to comfort her. "Don't worry too much."

"How can I not worry about it. BH to New York..... it's a quite long distance. And I....I think I can't...." I cupped her face to stop her from talking nonsense.

"Hey, it'll be fine." I caress her cheek. "I don't want to leave you either. But your daddy put his trust on me, a-and I just can reject it."

She touched my lips with her index finger. "I know.... I'm just worried about you, Nathan. I'm afraid that...."

I cut her in by kissing her on the lips. "Nothing will happen to me, believe me," I said between our kisses.

"Promise?" She rests her forehead on me while wrapping her hands around my neck.

I smiled. "I promise, baby."

She kissed me back, but this time more passionately. I lift her a bit, walking straight to our bed and lay her on it.

Bella then pulled me closer to her as I took my shirt off, revealing my half naked body. Her hands, then slide along my abs, feeling every one of my six-packs that tickles me a bit.

I kissed her lip again as she took off her pajamas revealing her sexy figure with only lingeries on it.

"You look so sexy, Bella." I whispered to her.

She giggled. "Stop it, Nathan. You're embarrassing me again."

I laughed. "What to embarrass about? You're already my wife. Remember?"

She gives me a quick peck. "Of course, I always remember that, silly."

"I love you, Bella. Always be..." I said to her when her grey eyes met mine.

"I love you too, Nathan." She kissed me again.

We did our thing again that night and I made sure that I was very gentle to her this time, too, since I already promised myself and to her that I never ever hurt her in every way.

Because she is my everything;

The only one for me;

And I love her so much...
