I heard him as soon as I entered his cabin. His piercing gaze was not sensible which always gave me bad vibes. The bastard. Nickel Hall. My Ex-best friend but now? My enemy. "Yes!! Why the hell you are like this, Nick? Can't you understand? I have been waiting here for so long and you are showing your attitude to me? Are you for real? Don't you know me?" I yell at him because he made me wait for fucking two hours. "Well.. Well.. I already know who you are, Reb. Even, you know my desires. I just want you in my bed but you are.." He shamelessly pauses and sighs. He tries to speak something but stops immediately cause he knows how I will react. He knows.. But still he tries to irk me. "Fine!! You love that "dick". I mean someone and I need to leave you. That's all fine. But, what about my feelings, Reb?" Here, he goes again. I close my eyes in annoyance and exhale out my breathing. "I-I know, Nick. But at least try to listen to me. You are my business partner and business is business. Our personal life is different." I say and pause. "But you are doing wrong right now. Are you even..." I tried to make some sense to him but he cut me off. "Reb!! We aren't going to talk about business any more. If you aren't good with me then I don't want your business.." Saying he throws some files on the ground."Here, in front of me as well. Literally I am tired. So, I am canceling my partnership from your company. Good Bye, Reb." He says and raises his hands where I roll my eyes. So, I need to imply the Plan B. "So? You aren't taking the orders back? Right?" I ask him where he nods as Yes. I smile a little and walk to him. Very close, closer to his face and his personal space. We were having an inch difference now. I glared at him in a seducing way where he was getting tight. Okay!! It's my show time. "The thing is.. It's our last meet. So, why don't you get hooked up with me?" I offer him and he smirks this time. Okay!! Plan's working. "Look.. How shameless you are." I scolded him inside my brain which is actually true. "Are you serious? Like.. We? Should? Hook Up?" He asks me where I nod as Yes. He hugs me tightly where I backed off the hug within no time. I really don't like him touching me. I smile nervously and he cups my cheeks to kiss me where I feel so nervous now. I am sorry, Len but I need to. He was about to kiss me and Period! I 'just' kicked his balls with my knees and he sounded so beautiful. Well, in pain. "Okay, I am done. So, no more regrets. Thank you, Mr. Nickel Hall. It was such a pleasure meeting you." I say with a tight smile. I am literally enjoying his pain. Why not? This bastard deserves it. He curses me where I curse him back too but underneath cause I am not mannerless like him. I walk out of the fucking building immediately and then, I halt myself. Len? He was literally fuming in anger. I can see that. Of course, shouldn't he? Len Watson. My real best friend from my college days. He is an actor and "most eligible bachelor" in the film industry. Like for now they describe him this way. But, I don't. He is my best buddy, partner in crime and my crush. Last but not least, everything I can say. "Why are you here with that bastard, Rebecca?" He yells. The second time I guess he called me with my full name. He usually calls me "Sweety" but he is so angry. His off screen dark side is out which this film industry doesn't know.I sigh as he won't let me explain nor he will listen to me. Well, it's our daily basis. But.. This time, he needs to listen. "Len!! Look, dad is busy and I need to talk with that bastard. Right now, it's really good news. Please.. Don't be angry with me." I please him with my puppy eyes where he turns his face away. "Please. Please...", I say joining my hands dramatically as he hates this. He immediately cups my palms for not doing it and chuckles out by looking at my face. I guess my pouting face. "You just know how to calm my nerves. But, Sweety you already know right? That bastard... He is the same as before. He won't change. And you know how worried I was?" He breathes heavily and I mumble a sorry. "I kicked his balls like I said I'll do it one day." I say and he laughs. Fine, he laughed at least. "Sure! He deserves it." He says and just then, his phone rings and he excuses himself. Nick and Len. *sighs*Who are they? You must be thinking right? Well, both are different but were best friends since childhood. Both of their families come from the film industry. Both wanted to pursue an acting career. And how did I meet them? Well, I used to attend some of the theatre classes for fun in my college days. And, that's how.. I met these two. We were best buddies.But one emotion stopped Nick. Love. It ruined everything between us. Because, Nick started to love me and I had a crush on Len back then. So, I rejected him saying "I am not into commitments instead.. I'm into hook up culture." I didn't know that this would back fire me and Len this badly that Nick tortures us. I had been a single child to my parents and we had two successful publishing companies named "JR Publishers" And, I always dreamt about working for that. Even, that was so easy for me. But, Nick? He tried to impress me saying "I would also be a CEO of my own company." And, he started his own business. Hall's Era.A big entertainment company now, here in Los Angeles. Len knows very well about how Nick is and his nasty actions are. I won't say Nick is not good in behaviour. He is actually good and kind hearted but he is selfish and a narcissistic cringe too. His own happiness matters a lot. And that happiness includes Me. It sucks isn't it? Always remember, you can be someone's addiction but can never become an obsession right? And that's how, Nick started to behave. I'm his obsession. ×÷×÷×÷×÷×÷×A/N -Happy Children's Day (I really miss this day.) Hey lovies;Another story right? I hope you are loving it.
