Chapter Nine
There’s absolutely no way I’m going to another one of those parties with you, and that’s final,” Nicole said. She placed her arms across her chest and glared at Ryan.
“We have an agreement, and if I want to parade you around to ten of those parties a week, you won’t only go, but you’ll do it with a smile plastered across your face,” he yelled at her.
He hadn’t yet seen her put her foot down. He may have thought she’d been stubborn before, but the last party he’d made her attend had been miserable, and the women had been piranhas. Neither Jasmine nor Trinity had been there, and she’d fought tears the entire time. She wouldn’t put herself through that again.
“I don’t care about the stupid agreement. You’re expecting too much,” she told him.
“The only reason you were miserable at the last party was because of your own stupid stubbornness,” he mocked her. She’d refused to wear the dress he’d purchased or the jewelry that lined her drawer. Instead, she’d worn her own sale rack dress which, Ryan had told her, made her look like she should be attending a backyard barbecue. Of course, the socialites had also ripped her to shreds.
Nicole knew he was angry with her for refusing his gifts, and he ignored her most of the night. They’d both walked away from the evening ticked off. He didn’t even want to go to the stupid party they were fighting about. He’d only accepted the invitation because he wanted to punish her, which made her just as angry at him as he was at her.
“Well you can take your party and stick it up your….”
He didn’t let her finish her words. He grabbed her in his arms and smashed his mouth down on hers.
“You’ll be ready by seven tonight,” he told her and walked from the room. She smiled at the closed door. He really had another think coming if he thought he’d get his way. If he didn’t like how she was behaving, then he could kick her out. She didn’t like the feeling that thought caused in her gut. She may think he was a pompous jerk half the time, but he was also the boy she’d loved more than any other.
What really scared her was that she was falling for the man he now was. He was beautiful, caring, family-oriented, and made love with so much passion she never wanted to let him go afterward.
Nicole got ready for work and left her room. She crept down the stairs, grateful Ryan was nowhere around. She jumped into her car with a smile. Her car was another point of contention between them. He’d actually had the gall to go out and buy her a new car. It sat untouched in his oversized garage. She refused to drive it. She wanted to, more than she’d ever let him know, but she was afraid she’d like it more than she should.
It was a beautiful red convertible with all
