Nathan POV

The papers have been sitting on my table for a few hours now but every time I make my way to grasp it, my mind starts to doubt, which only gives me the feeling that something off is on these files.

I close my eyes, sigh, and think. What's the most that could possibly happen?

I reopen my eyes and quickly pick up the file, ignoring my mind chanting to let it go. I rip open the envelope it was placed in and begin reading through.

I reread her file over and over to see nothing is wrong.

She's just a normal teenager that most probably don't have a goal in life and is just doing things keeping the term 'fuck it' in mind.

I sigh in irritation, replaying the scene that had occurred hours ago in the office.

I was such a douche and she wasn't wrong about all the things she said, I am a cheater, I should confront Alison about it, but it wouldn't change anything.

I'd still have to marry her at the end of the day, cheater or not.

But it's better, to be honest than add to the list of shit I've done.

Getting up from the couch, I pick up my phone off the kitchen counter and begin dialing Alison's number. She picks it up 2 rings later.

"Hello!" She says breathlessly.

"Hey? Am I interrupting something?"

"No!," She shouts, her voice beginning to get more anxious, "I was just on the treadmill and you called the moment I finished my 40-minute fast walk."

I could tell she was lying.

We've known each other for ages, so something as simple as that cant fool me.

"Alison, I know you aren't telling me the truth. Besides that though, I have something important I have to tell you."

I hear her take suck in a sharp breath.

"I actually do too."

"Why don't we meet at home in 30 minutes and talk about our situations out, I think the time we actually sat down for an actual one on one conversations," I say.

"I agree..see you in 30."

"Bye."

And the line goes dead.

I love Alison with all my heart, but not in the way she wants me to. It would suck to hurt her and not be able to provide with one thing I know she's waited so long to have; love.

Trinity POV

"Mom! I'm here!"

"In the kitchen!" His mother shouts back.

Avan turns back and gives me a wide smile.

"Nervous?" He asks.

I shake my head. "No way! I've done things far more exhilarating than reuniting with the old company."

He only chuckles.

"You can leave your shoes by the door."

I do as told and follow behind him.

"Oh darling, I was beginning to worry you wouldn't be making it for dinner."

"Sorry I was late but," He turns to looks at me, "I have a valid excuse."

I step from behind Avans large frame and give his mother a small smile.

"Hi," I say awkwardly.

She immediately stops what she's doing, her mouth opening wide. Almost seconds later she shakes her head and a large smile overtakes her face.

"Oh, my! It has been ages, Trinity."

She rushes by my side, squeezing me into a tight hug.

"How have you been?" She says pulling away, keeping her hands on her shoulders.

I laugh at her excitement, she reminds me of a child on Christmas day.

"I'm doing really well, what about you?"

"A whole lot better since you arrived, everyone including myself, has missed you dearly. Its almost been 2 years since you went off."

"Well, I'm back! I can't wait to see everyone again."

"Oh, that reminds me. There are some people here who I'm pretty sure will be extremely ecstatic that your back here."

Before I could reply, she grabs me by wrists and drags me towards the dining room.

"Looks who's here!"

I look to see everyone staring at me and I mean everyone. All of Avans family plus mine.

My family.

Its been so long since I saw them.

I suddenly started to feel awkward from the intense stares I was receiving from everyone in the room.

I clear my throat and decide to speak. "I apologize for intruding on a dinner I was invited to last minute. I'm just going to see myself out."

I quickly turn on my heel and make my way towards the door. I put on my shoes and as I'm about to open the door, a small hand clasps my wrist.

I turn to look at who this tiny hand belonged to and came face to face with my little sister Lana.

"Where are you going?" She asks in her tiny voice.

I crouch down to her height, giving her a sad smile.

"You've grown so much since I've last seen you. I've decided to go back home, mom and dad don't look like such fans to see me right now."

"Don't leave," her voice sounding like she's about to cry, "I missed you a lot, please come back home Trinity. We all miss you."

I hate seeing her sad but when I'm doing is the correct thing right?

"Lana, I can't be here right now. But I promise we'll see each other again. Here, ill write down my number on this little paper and if you need anything, don't hesitate to call, even in the middle of the night."

She nods, her frown turning into a smile. She quickly hugs me and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you, Trinity."

Before I had a chance to say it back, she runs along to the dining room.

I get back up and turn towards the door and exit.

I guess the night didn't turn as good as I expected to be.

Walking towards the road, I realize I didn't come here with my own car, but Avans. And taxis don't usually pass by these areas.

I groan in frustration, digging my phone out of my bag.

I call Tina up until it goes to voicemail, 5 times.

I think of anyone else to call at this time, and I rake my brain until I remember someone. I hate to do this and ask for his help but I had no other choice.

Dialing the number, the phone rings a few times before he picks up.

"Hello." His deep voice comes through the phone, it sends chills down my spine.

Weird.

"Hey, look I need your help."

"What's wrong?"

"I was supposed to have dinner at Avans, but then something happened at his home and I needed to leave because of it. I realized that I came here with Avan. and my best friend Tina isn't answering any of my calls. So, is it possible if you wasted some of your precious time, and picked me up and just dropped me back home?"

He stays silent for a while, then says, "Okay."

"That's it? An okay? After all of that, you reply with an okay?"

"Well sorry princess, but I have no other answer. So please shut your trap and send me your damn location."

"Jesus, do you really kiss your mother with that mouth? Ass."

"BItch."

Is that the best you got?" I giggle.

"Look just send me where you are and ill there as fast as I can."

He then ends the call, idiot.

I send him the location and wait for his highness to arrive

-!0 minutes later-

"That was quick," I say in a bored tone.

"I don't live too far from here. So yours?"

I nod.

We stay in silence as he drives out of the Avans neighborhood.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks.

I stay silent for a few seconds then answer him.

"I can't believe I'm saying this but that sounds cool. Do you mind if we went back to yours instead?"

He shakes his head, a smirk playing itself on his breathtaking face.

"I know you can't resist."

I look at him, eyebrows raised.

"Way too ruin the moment you egotistical jerk."

"I know you love me, baby."

"Yeah right!"
