NICK

4

“Why would you do something so selfish!” He raised an eyebrow even tilted his head to the side slightly, he had this questioning looking at if he had a deep question for me to answer. “Look who’s talking, you are calling me selfish?” He chuckled, went around the counter, and poured himself a drink.

He then turned to me. “How dare you call what I did selfish Nick, you of all people should be the last person to talk when it comes to matters like this. You have done worse things to hurt Olivia and Marcus. Weren’t those selfish?” He must have thought I did those things because enjoyed them.

I didn’t, I was only fighting for the woman I loved. While he acted like a teenager, stealing a kiss from the girl he liked but could never have. “So, what are we doing? Are we playing who can hurt Olivia and Marcus the most?” He shrugged.

I wondered how Marcus must have felt about what Ethan did, the man didn’t like me being around his wife and with good reason. I had become obsessed with Olivia because I felt like we deserved a second chance at love.

A chance to be happy together, a chance to rectify the mistakes of the past and move forward. Together. But I was mistaken, we didn’t need a redo of our relationship, we needed to learn from the mistakes we made and try not to repeat them in our future relationships.

Olivia understood that earlier on, but I was too stubborn to listen. But now I understood perfectly. “You know Ethan, I am not proud of what I did to Olivia and Marcus because everything I did to Olivia, was not only hurtful to her but was disrespectful to her husband as well and…”

“There we go about this disrespect thing! I am so tired of hearing it and I would appreciate it if you didn’t repeat it again.” I sighed, he was not getting the point if I didn’t make him understand now, he was going to repeat his mistakes and not see anything wrong with them.

“Okay Ethan, you have kissed Olivia and gotten what you always wanted. Now what?” He frowned, I knew what he was thinking, this behaviour meant only one thing.

“You want to do it again, don’t you?” He downed his drink then poured himself another. “We have been so obsessed with Olivia because of her energy, how strong she is and how good of a person she is. But there are many good women out there, just as strong if not stronger and just as selfless.”

I went around the counter and stood next to him. “I have wasted so much time clinging to the past that I didn’t see any other woman besides her. My life revolved around her….”

“So, you are saying that she is no longer your heart? That you are really over her and if the opportunity presented itself for you to be with her again, that you will let it pass?

“I would and you know why?” He looked as if he didn’t believe a word I said. “Because now I understand why I can’t have her back. Even if I did, our relationship can never be the same, to her, I will always be the guy who sent her to jail. She will never be comfortable with me or be able to trust me like she did before. But she never stop being my heart. There will always be room for her there.”

He placed the glass on the counter with a sigh. “I know I disrespected Marcus and Olivia. How I behaved was just a defence mechanism, the truth is that I want to kiss her again and maybe have her kiss me back. To feel her warm lips against mine and just savour the moment.

I knew it, he wanted to do it again. I knew what it felt like having a taste of something you always wanted to do and finally getting it felt like you just came out from under water, and you could breathe freely again.

It was an addictive feeling. “Don’t you think you need to take a step back and think about what is best for Olivia?” noveldrama

He poured another glass. “Sometimes I feel like Marcus doesn’t deserve her, just like you never did.”

He never hid that from me, he always told me straight up that I didn’t deserve her, and I didn’t because in the end, I hurt her, badly. “That kind of thinking is only going to make you see only the wrong in Marcus and justify your stupidity by saying you want to protect Olivia. Does that sound about right?”

He downed his drink and placed the glass on the counter with a loud click. He was annoyed. I could tell. “I wish you could see things about yourself the way you are seeing them with me now.” I frowned; I wasn’t sure what he was talking about.

“I will apologize again to the both of them and this time I will mean it. but before that, let us talk about Lupita, you like her, don’t you?” I wished I knew how I felt about upita, all I knew was that I enjoyed her company, talking to her on the phone.

“I don’t know about that, I just enjoy spending time with her. I ain learning and getting to know a side of her I didn’t know. Well, I never cared to know until we started spending time together. Maybe it’s because of the fact that I saved her life.”

I smiled proudly. Ethan cleared his throat. “Actually, the doctor said she was already showing signs of waking up and your kiss just gave her the push she needed to wake up. You did nothing special, my friend.”

Oh, the bastard, not wanting to be miserable alone. “That means I did something too.” He laughed. But then as if he thought of something, his face changed, he was now serious. “What about the way you skinned Xander alive, do you have an explanation for that?”
