Vengeance is a sweet fruit

FEELINGS FOR HER

Nicholas’s P.O.V.

Andrea joined me today and I was so happy. Finally, my days of worries ended. Though my temporary Assistant tried to make things easier for me but, really… she was a big mess. She was from the finance department and was working for me as my personal assistant on a temporary basis. Some times she messed everything so much that I really felt to punch her right on her face. But I couldn’t do this, could I? I am a gentleman and a gentleman can’t hit a woman… What the f**k????

She was also a hardworking type and I didn't want to fire her anytime just because she didn't get even a single step to the mark that Andrea had marked. 

I had an early meeting with one of our investors, so I reached the office almost around lunch. I went straight to her room. I wanted to see her right behind her desk. I wanted to make sure that she is here.

I knocked on the door and opened it. I entered the room and my breath hitched for a second. It was the first time or I had never noticed before that she was so f**king beautiful. She had worn a grey suit as usual but with a floral top inside. She had a nice baby pink scarf around her neck. She had a light make up that was making her so stunning with a high ponytail. It was something different about her today. I never had seen her in a ponytail before. She liked to had a comfortable lower bun.

She looked at me so innocently that took my breath away from my chest. I didn’t realize that I was drooling over her. She snapped her fingers in front of my eyes and I came out of my trance. I needed to get my brain to check now.

“Hey Andrea… I saw that you have already made yourself comfortable again”, I said to her nervously. Why the hell I was nervous. It’s my office and she is my Personal Assistant.

She rolled her eyes I didn’t know why and stood up from her seat.

“Come here you thick head”, she said to me annoyingly and it was my turn to roll eyes. She was still the same.

I went to her and she embraced me like before. I also hugged her but felt something weird this time again. I wanted to hold her a little more. It seemed that she also wanted the same but moved away from me soon.

Our eyes met and I saw a little change in her eyes colour. If I remembered correctly, Andrea had ocean blue eyes but it seemed that it had a hint of sea green also or it was me who noticed this first time. I blinked my eyes and came out of my stance. Something was really wrong with me today.

“I have sorted all the mails for you and marked those who need your attention. I also replied some mails and I want to check them also”, she told me in a usual tone and I looked at her in surprise. She never replied any mail before even though I asked her quite a times but, she said that it was not her thing to take any kind of decision if it was small or trivial.

“Okay… but I am hungry now”, I pouted while looking at her and she raised her brows.

“Okay… I will order for you then”, she said to me while putting her hand on the table in the back direction as we were still facing each other in front of her table.

“What about….(I put my finger under my chin in a thinking stance)…. We go out and have our lunch”, I proposed and she copied me and put her finger under chin. She made an O from her lips and I licked my dry lips to make them wet while looking towards her lips. They were so tempting.  I didn’t know why I was feeling like this for her?

“Ummmm… I think… we can… but I will choose the menu”, she pointed out her finger on me and I grinned. I liked our relationship in this way. I was her boss but I didn’t feel that vibe of being bossy around her. She had a firm grip on her skills and that eased my job in many better ways.

“Let’s go then”, I offered my arm to her and she gladly took it after taking her phone and purse. We both made outside her office to go out.

Stella’s P.O.V.

My heart was pounding in my chest so hard when out of habit I hugged Nicholas.  As per Andrea’s memories, she gave friendly hug to Nicholas whenever she felt that she needed this. I saw him nervous all of sudden and I did the same.

My whole body shuddered when he took me into his embrace. I knew that Andrea didn’t have any romantic feeling for him but it was me. I found it so hard to avert my gaze from him whenever we were together. It was really going hard to be with her and pretend to be Andrea. Andrea’s memories somehow helped me to be normal in front of him but still, I needed to work hard.

Right now, we were sitting in Nicholas’s favourite Italian restaurant and I had a frown plastered on my face. I never had likings for Italian food. I searched Andrea’s memories and felt relieved when I found out that she too didn’t like Italian. Guess, I didn’t need to pretend and eat. We both had the same taste and I loved this.

“You know Andy… I love Italian”, he emphasized the last word and I shot daggers on him. He blinked his eyes on me so innocently that I wanted to slap him right now.

“I will not work on me, Nic”, I said to him in the same tone while making weird faces. He looked at me in surprise and I realized that I went out a little out of the role.

“It seems that the accident has changed you a lot”, he said to me amusingly and I felt sweat in my palms due to nervousness.

“There is nothing that has changed in me. I think the accident has caused some real damaged in your brain. You also had some injuries in this haystack of yours”, I pointed out towards his head and he glared at me. Ha… guessed what…. I saved the scene.

“I don’t have any haystack in my body but you. Now, shut up and order. I am hungry”, I tried to sound annoyed but failed so miserably. I chuckled while looking at the menu card. I sighed and called for the waitress. I guess I had to eat to fill my hunger only.

The waitress came and asked for the order. I gave her our orders and then asked for a scoop of Stracciatella after the main course. It’s famous Italian icecream and I love chocolate bits dipped in Vanilla.

“Hey… you didn’t order the ice cream for me?” suddenly Nicholas exclaimed and I grinned. “As far as I remembered, you have some pain in your teeth and I don’t think so that you have taken a dentist appointment yet”, I raised my brows again on him for the answer and he huffed. I was right. He didn’t go to the dentist. I sighed and leaned a little bit on the table.

“See… no dentist …. So no ice cream for you”, I said the last part in a stern voice.

“I will have my ice cream.. you will see”, he threatened me and I scoffed. Though I never had this kind of relationship with anyone in my lifetime, I loved bickering with him. Guess what…. I am so in love with being Andrea. She had her own challenges but a lot of people around her care of her.
