Her Innocence novel Chapter 25

Nathan Rivera's POV

Janet, Valeria and Bella's friendship has gone stronger as they had multiple meet ups. I was very happy by it but what worries me was that Janet leaves the house without me knowing. I mean she informs me that she is leaving but then I have no communication with her. So that is the reason, I was holding a new Android mobile for her. A present for her, I had installed all the things she might need. I input a Sim card and a cover for the mobile as well. I specially told the shopkeeper to wrap the mobile with gift wrapper so I could surprise her.

I was driving my car and on the way to home as I wished she would like it. Janet and mine relation has been going strong, I mean I'm still in control. For not fucking her. Well, her innocence is the thing that is pulling me towards her and it's pushing me away as well. I want to do it and I don't want to do it. It's complicated.

I parked my car in the garage and walked up the door and unlocked it using my keys. I had the gift in my right hand, hiding it behind my back. I walked towards the bedroom to see her in front of the mirror, combing her silky hair. She turned to face me and gave me a hearty smile as she ran towards me.

"You're back early?" She said as she held my left hand in hers and laid her head on my shoulder. It has been a thing for her, every time I come home, she would greet me like this saying that this was a sweet gesture. Well, I prefer a kiss.

"Yeah, didn't have much work." I told her as my right hand roamed around her waist making the gift hid behind her back. Her body was now pressed against mine as I gave her a sly smirk. Her eyes lowered a little and a tint of pink appeared on her nose.

"I have something for you." I whispered in her ear as she slowly nodded. I kept staring at her as she bit her lip. "Close your eyes." She closed her eyes and then I kissed her cheek as I handed her the mobile. Her curious eyes opened and they meet the gift. She gave me a confused look as I encouraged her to open it. She did as I said and her eyes widen when she notice what I bought for her.

"Nathan? This is for me?" She asked yet not believing.

"Yours, all yours." I told her as she grinned and then hugged me tight as her arms wrapped around my neck. My hands stayed on her waist as I so badly wanted to go down but my inner self was not letting me.

"Sit, I'll teach you how to use it. Now we can talk even when I'm not in the house." She giggled and sat on the bed as I stared at her. Her straight hair was addicting and I wanted to have a grip on them. Her small lips should only be on mine.

"Thank you so much, Nathan." She said as she hugged me once again, a quick one though. Then she stared at me for a while and leaned in as she gave me a kiss on the cheek. My eyes widened at her act as she started biting her lip again. I wanted to kiss her but. There is always a 'but'. I don't know why am I stopping myself when even she wants me to kiss her. I kept my gaze on her as she watched me with a smile. She had no idea what was going on in my mind as she turned her eyes back to the mobile.

I'm going to do it; I can't stop myself but then she got up from her seat and started walking towards the door as she spoke in excitement.

I turned on my mobile and checked the time. It was almost seven and Sean would visit me at eight. I got out of the bed, carefully as I kissed her cheek.

I took a short shower and got dressed in white crisp shirt with black jeans and my white coat. I quickly put my hair up with the gel and sprayed some perfume. I turned to the face the bed to see Janet facing me with her innocent smile.

"You are leaving early?" She asked even when she knew the answer with her tired and droopy eyes and I knew she was tired. I walked over to her and sat right beside her as she pulled the covers close to her chest as if she was trying to cover herself. My eyes betrayed me and went to her body roaming on her every curve that peaked out of the thin duvet. I gulped and forced my eyes to meet hers. She continued to stare at me with confusion, waiting for me to answer as I leaned closer to her.

"Yeah, I have someone coming over to my office in half an hour." I told her as she nodded.

"You should eat breakfast and then go." She said as she sat up on the bed trying to get out of the bed but I stopped her.
