Angelica's POV

"You're late!" I shouted, he looked to where I'm at and he started running. When he got here, I sliced some ham and steak too, but it's too common for me nowadays since Nathan's been staying with me for quite a while now.

"Let's eat, " he said invitingly, he poured a glass of sparkling water and we raised our glasses to clink. He winks at me and I chuckled at him.

"This is still skeptical to me," I said jokingly, and one of Jonathan's eyebrows went up. After a handful of servings to ourselves, we cleaned up the place and I sat near the river. Removed my shoes and felt the grass and felt the water flowing. I started humming and felt someone sitting beside me.

"Still skeptical?" I looked at him.

"... I guess, " I chuckled, I lied down on the soft grass and sighed happily.

"What's with that expression?" Jonathan asked.

"I don't know, I just feel happy," I said, and a trickle of water is hitting my arm as I move it around.

"And what brought you here?"

"A car." His smile quickly fades and he glares at me.

"Okay, who brought you here?"

"You...? Maybe not." I giddily smiled at him and Jonathan shifted his body to me, him topping me, I closed my eyes and he blew a cold wind at my face. I slowly opened my eyes and I am yet captured by his eyes, there's something in his eyes that I can never tell. But, he rolled back and the tension became awkward. My heart is beating fast, I sweat faster than before and crickets chirping in the distance. Then, fireworks blow up in the distance.

"That isn't part of the plan," he said, even though it wasn't, it still breaks the tension because we focus on something. Another cold breeze touches my skin and it leaves a shiver down my spine. He noticed it and instead of him giving his suit to me, he put it at the both of us.

"Thanks, I guess..." I did smile, but I could feel my heart beating quickly and as soon as my body collided with him, he was really warm. As fireworks dissipated from a distance, I still enjoyed the warmth and I ended up falling asleep on his arm.

Jonathan's POV

I heard someone snoring beside me and saw that she was fast asleep. I carried her and brought her into my car. I covered her with the suit that I wore and we left quietly, her bag was scattered down and I saw that there were a lot of files of women she interviewed. As I picked it up, I saw a document and I accidentally read the name. "Anita Monroe", it's quite familiar to me but I still put it inside her bag neatly.

"You have arrived at your destination," the navigation app says. I picked her up and noticed that the door was new. I went around the house to get inside by using the backdoor, it still looks the same and it opens with one quick nudge.

"Nice," I whispered to myself. I put her in her bedroom and saw that it was clean. I put her down on her bed and I was pulled in, not noticing that she suddenly wrapped her arms around me and our lips met. My eyes widened in shock and I was stunned for a second, but I silently kissed her for minutes. Her lips are incredibly soft, but I slowly backed away, and she turned around quietly. I put her bag on her desk and her phone on it too.

"What a sneaky bastard, " someone said at my back. I already knew it was Angelique.

"I didn't do that on purpose, Angelique." I retorted.

"Whatever just leave her be." she stopped.

"What?" I turned around to look at her.

"How did you get in?"

"By the backdoor," I said, she squinted her eyes at me and I just shrugged it off.

"Make sure you didn't break the door, she just cleaned this house hours ago."

"I know," I replied. Angelique walked out and went back to her room and I sat on the couch to look around Angelica's room. Everything has changed in just hours here, I reached into my pocket to get my phone and saw that it was nearly dawn.

"Time flies so fast," I yawned, and my eyelids started to shut.

"Here," Angelique comes in and she lends a pillow and a blanket.

"Thanks and I'm sorry if I came unannounced, I don't want to disturb you."

"It's okay if you disturb me. Because it creeps me out if I ever saw you coming inside this house unknowingly to me, " she said honestly.

"Okay, I'll knock next time." She left again and my eyelid shut, leaving both of us sleeping.

Angelique's POV

I cleared my browsing history because Angelica opened a lot of sites and I checked my phone if I have any other messages other than people sending me texts that they'll have a check-up. I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my clothes and dried them. I ironed it and hung it inside my closet for me to use later this morning. As I was busy with what I was doing, my phone started ringing and I checked it out to see who it was.

"Nicholas Young," I said, I picked it up and I heard him talking immediately.

"Did you see my brother? By the way, David's here, thank you. My sister also wants to thank you, and I also want to say thank you."

"Get to the point, asshat, " I said sternly. He didn't say anything.

"What?" I asked.

"Fine, do you want to go out with me right now?"

"Are you even serious? It's almost 5, and I haven't taken a bath since... yesterday, " I lied, I don't want to go out with a guy who never listens.

"I just wanted to apologizeโ€”" he was cut off by Angelica's alarm clock and I went inside her room to shut it off.

"Come again? Sorry, my sister's alarm clock is pretty loud, " I whispered.
