Chapter Two (Part 2)

As soon as I am done with Bruno I head towards my home. Its already 7 in the evening and I feel a bit tired. On my way, I pack some sandwiches from a nearby bakery so thatI don't have to make dinner. I like my house very much. it's not just mine, Becky lives with me. she is basically my housemate and a really sweet friend but sometimes she can be a little annoying, that I don't mind at all. its a double story house, with a huge living room where the couch is placed in the center and a LED TV opposite to it. at the end of the hallway, there is a staircase. and across from it is our kitchen along with a dining room that isn't separated by a wall. a door from the kitchen opens for our small backyard. upstairs we have two rooms. The first one is Becky's and the second one is mine. The peach-colored walls and floral curtains give it a homely ambience which I like very much. As I reach the door, I take out keys from my purse and unlock the door making my way inside. I gasp at the sight of my friend making out with her boyfriend on the couch.

"Ewwww guys for god sake get a room," I say closing my eyes with my hand.

When they hear me they immediately get away from each other and straighten up." I am sorry Nikki I didn't think you would come this early." Becky says looking a little embarrassed.

"Hey, Nikki!" Becky's boyfriend, Kayden says.

"At least you guys shouldn't be doing that on our couch," I say narrowing my eyes towards him. "Anyways I am going to my room guys, Goodnight."

After saying that I head upstairs to my room. As I sit on my bed I begin to feel hungry so I take out the sandwiches that I bought. I am about to take a bite of it when I hear a knock on my door. after a moment Becky peeks in from the door. "Can I come in Nikki?"

"You don't have to ask becks. Is he gone?" I say as she comes in.

" Yes. Sorry, you had to see that. we weren't planning on to scare you." she says apologetically sitting next to me.

I smile at her and say "Next time at least don't forget to warn me earlier that you guys are going to bang on my couch so I wouldn't be this shocked. I was preparing to watch a movie there. that would have been so gross if I didn't know what you guys were doing there." We look at each other for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"So how was your day?" she asks me. Becky is a teacher at kindergarten school. so she has off at weekends.

I tell her everything that Samuel said to me in Cafe and about how I met Peter at my clinic.

"I knew that kid was hitting on you," she says grinning.

I roll my eyes at her and say "He isn't a kid becks."

"Whatever, He is still studying in a school so he is a kid for me." she frowns. " So how was it meeting the hottest billionaire bachelor of the state? is he really that sexy in person as much as he seems to be on magazines and tv shows?" she asks with curiosity.

"Better than that I must say," I tell her stuffing a sandwich into my mouth and offering one to Becky. she grabs it from my hand.

"I can't believe this. You just met Peter Smith, every woman's dream man," she says with her twinkling eyes.

I frown at her "Okay becks I am tired now, I need to sleep, We will talk later. Goodnight"

"Goodnight Nikki. I hope you get peaceful sleep." she smiles at me sheepishly and leaves the room . I know what exactly she meant.

I lay on my bed feeling sleepy. As I close my eyes I recollect everything that happened today, from Sam asking me out to meeting Peter at the clinic. I am feeling really happy after a long time. for once I feel like I can forget everything that has happened and move on. I don't want to be scared of anything that I went through. I smile thinking about starting a new life from now. I want to live my life freely. I want to forget him. I have to forget him. Why can't I forget him? He isn't going to come and I am not going to see his face ever. A little part of me feels sad at the thought of not seeing him again. There hasn't been a single day since I met him that I hadn't thought about him. I miss him I guess. What are you saying Nichole? are you out of your mind? No Nichole, don't think about

him, just don't. even after restraining myself from thinking about him, I still fall asleep dreaming about those grey eyes.

Christopher's mesmerizing grey eyes.

The devils mesmerizing grey eyes.
