Chapter 14: I Hope It Is Not Too Late

Nathan

"Why not?" I asked hoarsely.

She looked at me and gulped silently before she bit her lower lip nervously. My eyes zeroed on her lips and at that moment, my control broke off.

I brushed my lips against hers, kissing her with passion. The feel of her warm and plump lips on mine was heaven, she stiffened in shock and put her hands on my chest to push me away but I held her tight and ran my tongue on her lips sensually, urging her to open her mouth. I ran my hand on her side in up and down motion slowly before cupping her nape, locking the car in the process. I kissed her and prayers for her to kiss me back and she did.

She opened her mouth to give me access, I shoved my tongue inside her mouth and kissed her hungrily and I felt her lips move. She kissed me with equal fervor, I groaned triumphantly as she moved her hands around my neck and I made her straddle me without breaking the kiss. I pulled her close and she moaned softly as her clothed breasts came directly in contact with my front. I stroked her thighs, slowly pulling her skirt up.

I couldn't get enough of her, I moved my lips and kissed her jaw and buried my face in her neck. I bit her neck gently before licking, kissing and sucking the spot. I kissed her lips again, my hands moved towards her shirt button when we heard a sharp knocking sound on my car window and I felt her body stiffened before she backed off, shocked and embarrassed.

I looked at her face and just by looking at her, I knew she was regretting what just happened. I felt someone splashed iced water on me and my eyes dimmed, she immediately stood up from my lap and sat in her seat, straightening her clothes and hair. I glared at the person outside from the heavily tinted windows and found him almost banging on the door with agitation.

"Open the fucking door, you bastard." Samuel shouted.

"Unlock the car," I heard her say in a small voice.

"My love…"

"Don't, just don't." She said, looking down at her hand on her lap, confused and hurt and I ran my hand through my hair in frustration.

"Okay, I will leave for now but we have things to talk about, Yvonne. And I wish and hope that you won't regret what just happened now, please don't regret it." My last words came out in almost a whisper.

"I know you are in there, damn it. Open the door now !" I heard him again and I unlocked the car.

She opened the door and immediately went out without even glancing at me. I started my car and drove away from there.

I don't know how long I drove around aimlessly until I parked the car near the sea and came out of it. I sat down, leaning my back against the car and puffing my cigarette. I stared at the sea blankly as the tears rolled down my cheeks. How am I going to fix all this?

"Please tell me it is not too late." Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably.

Yvonne POV.

What have I done? Why did I allow myself to be weak just by his mere touch? Why did he still have this effect on me after so many years? Why did I feel this way after he cheated on me and divorced me? I must be a fool for allowing him to kiss me.

"My love…." He tried to say something but I cut him off.

"Don't, just don't." I was enraged and anger burning inside me.

"Please don't regret what just happened." He said in a vulnerable voice.

Nathan Kelvin, being vulnerable, that is impossible! He unlocked the car and stopped out of it without saying another word or even glancing at him. Samuel rushed towards me and held my shoulders as I heard his car drive off.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concerned and I looked up at him, his eyes became wide and sharp.

"Yvonne, did he try to force himself on you?" He asked, shaking with anger and his voice raised in octaves. But did he force me, no!

"No, he didn't. How can I respond to him" I said confused, my eyes welled up.

No, this can't be, I hate him with all my heart.

"Hey, it is okay. Don't worry." His voice mellowed as he hugged me and patted my back comforting me.

"You can't order your heart to love or hate someone just like you can't order someone's heart to love you." He said softly and it made me look at him.

"Let's go back, okay?" He said, stroking my head, I nodded and went towards his car.

I was confused, it took me eight agonizing years for me to build a thick walk around my heart but why is it that as soon as he came into my life again, my walls of defense are wavering already.

'No Yvonne, you can't let him play with you again and leave you later like a tissue paper when he is done with you.'

That is right, I can't and I won't let hin destroy my emotional state once more. Since he has already guessed about Ryan then there is no reason to hide it anymore but I won't let him in my life or my son's life. He doesn't have a right anyways.

I lean my head on the passenger seat while staring out of the window thinking about the time when I first met Nathan

****Years back****

My parents and I were sitting in the living room, including my grandparents, talking to his friend whose face looked really tired and sad. Clifford is my grandpa's best friend and he lost his son and daughter-in-law in an accident just a few days ago. We were in the UK then and that is why we couldn't come here right away but as soon as we landed on Dubai, we came directly from the airport.

My grandparents preferred to live in his birth country unlike my parents who lived here in Dubai because of business but we often go to the UK for vacation. But when he heard about the death of his best friend's son, he decided to come back with us.

Mr. Clifford is a very nice and kind man, he used to come to our house often when my grandpa visited us, so it is sad to look at him like this.

"What actually happened, Clifford?" My grandpa asked, he looked at me first and stroked my head kindly before responding.

"I have a grandson and he was with them during the accident, you haven't met him yet. His name is Nathan and he is thirteen years old. Why don't you go and meet him, I am sure he will feel better if he meets someone around his age." He said to me, pointed to a small door which led to the inner garden of the mansion. I nodded and went in his said direction.
