Thanks very much for your reviews. So heres the next one for you
"Hmmm" Ryan murmurs stretching luxuriously out, coming in to contact with another body accidentally. He doesn't let his hand linger lovingly, rather he pulls his hand back as if hes received a shock and stares sleepily at the woman beside him. Who uncannily is already awake and staring at him, hurt flashes through her eyes before she banishes it.
"You do that every time" she whispers throatily"
Ryan doesn't deny it fuelling her into action. "I want out"
There's silence as they both continue staring at each other, Ryan's mind taking a while to comprehend. "But we have fun don't we?"
Nicole smiles "I'm not saying is hasn't been fun, hell I've made you smile and laugh which seems a big triumph"
This comment elicits a smile from Ryan as he thinks over the short time he's known her.
"But I'm smart enough to know this….us isn't going places and……well I am, scored myself a scholarship to study Law"
Shocked, is all Ryan feels he knows he should feel hurt, but well he just isn't. He never thought Nicole had it in her to study Law guess he underestimated her all along. "I didn't even know, why……I mean…..ahhhh I guess good luck"
Familiar vibrations interrupt Ryan's attempt at speaking and he picks his cell phone up giving Nicole an apologetic look.
"What?" he says annoyed knowing all to well it was work
A nervous voice starts at the end of the line "Err Mr Atwood" Ryan's silence seems to speak for its self "Well Mr Nichol would like you to come into the office as soon as possible".
"Its like -Ryan yawns- early too early"
"Mr Nichol has called an emergency meeting with you and a few others so if you could get here as soon as possible" the woman hangs up. He doesn't blame her for hanging up he had a tendency to argue anything remotely related to Caleb Nichol.
"Sooo I've gottta go in" Ryan turns to Nicole and looks at her regretfully or what he hopes is a regretful look.
"and I've got a plane to catch" she replies getting up and taking the sheet with her.
"So what was this…..last night then?"
Nicole walks close to him, so close that he can smell her perfume that still lingers. "A goodbye" she whispers in his ear.
Hmm cos everyone says goodbye with sex don't they he thinks sarcastically maybe it should be on a Hallmark card. He sits down on the bed pulling on a wife beater.
"ok have a nice life, it was nice knowing you" Ryan says the edge in his voice noticeable.
"Argh Ryan don't be like that I'm doing you a favour" she pauses waiting for him to reply but he just gives her a stony glare so she continues "Don't you see now you can finally go after whoever it is that's so far up in your head its not funny" she rants and barely takes a breath before continuing. "I'll never compare and frankly I'm sick of trying cos until yo let go no one will compare and you'll die a lonely bitter old man"
"I don't need you to tell me how to feel or what to do if you think I'm such a screw up what the hell have we been doing for the past coupla months"
"To be honest I have no idea……drifting"
"I've gotta go lock the door on your way out" he flees the room but not before grabbing a clean shirt, sports jacket and pants. Slamming the door behind him he notices that he should probably put on his pants.
