Once up on an Us Morning after
I gently lifted Nicholas' hand off my stomach, then tip-toed in search of the bathroom. I didn't get far before another male raised his brow at me. I gave him a small smile, only to shrink back into the room I came from.Nicholas, being the sound sleeper he was, was awake and giving me questioning looks."You didn't tell me you had housemates." I lay back beside him."Yeah, it's. They're cool." He assured me."I have to pee." I told him.He snorted back a laugh, then pointed to a door inside his room."Oh," I hurried off to use it."When you're done, come to the kitchen. I'll rustle up something for us." His voice came through the door.I nod foolishly, as if he could see.I dragged on a pair of red shorts that I saw on a chair before making my way outside.The place got silent as all eyes turned towards me, making me wish I had stayed cooped up in Nicholas’ room."Sooo...you're the one that kept us up last night with all that fracas." A bald head, bearded man said.I felt my face hea
Once up on an Us Optimistic
Maybe things aren't so bad after all. I think life might finally be looking up for me.I know I think this a lot, but that is how I feel.And after three months, I can safely say that Nicholas and I were in a relationship. His friends were more like family to both of us. I adored them and I think they feel the same way.I held onto Nick's hand as we walked through the park, eating ice cream cones."So, how would you feel about working for me?" I asked.Nick let go of my hand, "like as a slave or you as my boss?"I let out a laugh, leave it up to Nick to say such a thing."I could use an architect, and you are the only person I know and trust. You see, I have this crazy idea in my head. I saw this land space and just thought. Why not build on that piece of land? Maybe turn it into a gated community, I have asked, and the governor gave me the go ahead if I can acquire it. I just need a time." I brought forward."And the first person who you thought of was me?" Nick considered, sucking o

I sat there re-reading the message I got from Nick.Not believing what it said.He quit his job.Though I'm not too happy about it because of how things might turn out.I mean, we didn't have an office space, or the things we needed for the company yet.I'm still happy that he was finally having the chance to live his dream of being an architect.I can't stress over this.But at the same time, I don't want to be the blame of him not having a job if this failed.I placed my phone down to pay attention to what was happening before me.I'm here today, talking with the landowner, along with a few other potential buyers.Who aren't the nicest, and thought that because I'm a female, they had the higher advantage, while offering a small amount of money and sweet talking Mr Moore.They were trying to talk their way into paying much less than what the land actually cost, then make a fortune off it later."I'm telling you, the most I can pay is three million. Could put an extra million, but tha
Once up on an Us A shitty day
"Look who's finally awake," Nick greeted me with a kiss when I walked into the kitchen.Jackson looked up at me, pouting his lips. "What, no kiss for me?"I made a face at him. "I could get Nessa to do it."He scoffed, "your friend is something else."Nick slid a plate of blueberries drenched in syrup before me. The berries were all jumbled trying to form a word."You wanna go get a cow?" I guessed.Rickie and Jackson burst out laughing."Never mind. " Nick shook his head, popping a berry in his mouth."Oh, come on, tell me." I poked his arm."Maybe later. Right now, we both have work." He got up, taking me with him.I got ready at record speed, after seeing the time."Don't forget your portfolio." I pointed to the small dresser.Nick paused at the door, turned back, gave me a kiss, then left. Only to enter the room again, and picked up his portfolio."Later." I waved at him, then made my way out as well.I didn't count on it raining today, so there I was. Having to walk to the open h

Nick along with Jackson and Rickie, met me at the location of where our new community would be.This was the biggest thing for us yet, and there was no way we could mess this up, it was hard enough to get this place, with all the fights we got from other investors that either wanted to build a new mall, or offices."So, what do you think?" I asked, after we drove around off the dirt road."It’s ok. There might be a slight problem with flooding, but I think we can raise the land a bit." Rickie said."And not to mention that it's smaller than we originally thought, so instead of five hundred houses, we might have to cut it down to three, in order to facilitate the pool and play park." Nick added.He kicked at some loose dirt, then looked at me."You're the boss, so whatever you think." I told him.He looked at Jackson, making a gesture for him to put in his idea, and he did so nervously."We might also have a problem with the backwater that is coming from a factory nearby.""The only fa

"I'll see you two around." Jackson said."Thanks bud." Nick clapped him on the back.It was like we couldn't wait for him to go, to get each other clothes off.With my hands resting on Nick's chest, I gaze up at him. Just the look in his eyes said it all.He pulled my skirt up, ordering me to turn around.Bracing himself onto me, he pushed me against the wall.Slowly trailing kisses from my ear to shoulder, the gently feeling made me shiver, as heat rise up my body.He slowly entered my body, receiving a gasp as he did, while bracing himself onto me more.My right hand found his waist as I tried to bring us closer.I closed my eyes at the feel. It was better than fireworks on the Fourth of July. Our bodies moulded together and moved in synchronisation.Nick gripped my waist as he became undone, both our breathing coming out in a heavy rush.We collapsed on the floor of the small game room, panting and smiling at each other.In one swift movement, Nick pulled me on top of him, he kisse

As Nick and I walked the aisles looking for rice, he paused."How do you think rice for its name? Rice, that's such a weird word."I read to him what other information on my phone said about rice."Did you Google it?""Yes.""I love how you keep up with my antics.""I love your antics."Nick looked around before smiling at me."What do you say we have a little fun?""We are not having sex in a supermarket."Nick laughed, "that never crossed my mind, but now that you mention it.""No.""Fine, original plan." He pointed at the cart."You want me to get in?"He nod."This is a bad idea." I said, getting in any way.Nick pushed the cart down the aisle so fast, I covered my face with my hands while squealing, afraid that you might collide with a shelf.But he spun the cart around at the last minute, going back down the aisle at full force again.Lost in the moment, the both of us forgot where we were and why we were there.We goof around like two unsupervised kids."Chips for the Royal one
Once up on an Us The proposal
"Damn it." I said, feeling like throwing my measuring tape down.Instead, I settled on sitting on the floor of the small room off to the side of the house, trying to concentrate on a few new dress designs.Whomever thought that dressmaking and designing was easy, have another thing coming, especially when it came onto wedding dresses.I stood up again, leaning my head to the side, leering at the half dressed mannequin that seemed to be mocking my creative style."Come on, you stupid material, make sense." I talked as if it had life.I had a deadline to meet in making five new dresses, and this is not cutting it.I'm having a major mind block. It's like being constipated but of creativity.I groaned and threw my scissors down."I can't do this," I told myself.Just then, Nick pushed the door open, making his way over to his desk with blueprints. He dropped them down, then turned to me dramatically."Why arth thou looking soth gloomily?" He spread an arm.I laughed, then sulked. "The cr
