Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice but falling in love with you was completely beyond my control.

Megan's POV

He did it

Pretty boy asked me out then announced to the whole staff that we were now together.

I just stood there like a mannequin, looking around actually searching for one person, Faye. How would she take the news? Then I saw her, she looked shocked. She just stood there with an empty plate looking at Javier. Then our eyes met.

We kept our eyes fixed on each other, her eyes looked sad and furious all at ones, I think they were shimmering with tears but I can't tell since we are so far away. She looked away first and disappeared. I did not even notice that people were already clapping together for us.

"Congratulations” a familiar voice said, "I didn't think Megan was your type though”Faye says looking at a smiling Javier then back at me, she looked different from the person I saw a minute ago, she looked happy. "I guess I was wrong, toast to the best couple in New York"

Someone passed wine glasses around and we made a toast, Javier couldn't stop smiling as some employees approached him, I was happy but I had a sick feeling within me, I couldn't tell what it was but I know something would go wrong.

"Congrats Morgan”Faye said as she touched her glass on mine with a large smile on her face then walked off to Javier.

Very very wrong.

~*~

The rest of the week went pretty normal, I visited the spa, restaurants, golf club and even the dreaded pool.

Now that I was officially the boss's girl everyone treated me with respect. I got greetings every morning and many people claimed to be my best friends. Funny, I don't even know some. But the best part of the week was Javier. I got to spend a lot of time with Javier, freely.

"Oh come on, the point is just here, all you have to do is hit a little”Pretty boy said for the umpteenth time.

"Am trying okay golf isn't as easy as it looks”I answer exasperated as my eyes locked in on the evil tiny hole.

"Oh come on, I was already playing well when I was eight”he says feeding his blond ego.

"Well you must have been a really talented kid-"

"-and you a really impatient lady”he retorts. I over him a smile in response as I get ready to try again.

Okay ball, It’s just you, me and that tiny hole, It’s easy okay? All you have to do is roll your little self and get into the fucking hole! Understand? Hear goes nothing, don't fail me. I steady my leg like Javier's taught me, put my hands the right way and hold unto the stick as easy as I can, then...

"That's not the way to put your hands, like this is better”Javier says touching my bare hands and sending shivers up my spine.

"Javier I got this”I say shrugging him off and looking back at my ball and hole. Ready, set, go....

"Your waist should be positioned this way”Javier says putting his hand on my waist, just I hit the ball, my heart hammered at the touch and for some weird universe reason, the ball didn't enter the damn hole.

"Oh, come on”I whined face palming myself.

"You failed again? Tsk tsk tsk"

"You know It’s all your fault”I accused pointing a finger at him.

"My fault? How is your bad golfing skills my fault”he asked backing away from me as I approached.

"You always touch me at the wrong time, so what if my waist is facing east when it should be west, couldn't you have said, 'oh Megan please move your ass to the west to perform proper golfing protocols'!"

"Megan there is no need to be upset, It’s just golf”he pleads.

"Just golf? You... You have been pestering me since about it, we've been at it for over an hour now and you say It’s just golf.”I say feeling frustrated and trying not to laugh at the hilarious way Javier is backing away like am a wolf about to prance on him.

"Megan..."

"Don't touch me”I say fiercely, when he nods I turn back to go face the evil golf hole.

"Megan... For how long because the longest I can go is one minute"

My smile as I pick up the golf stick, "leave me alone Javier”one, two, three... Go!. I hit the ball slowly and watch in anticipation as it rolls and rolls and...

She shoots. She scores!

"Yes! Yes I did it Pretty boy see, you saw that right, it rolled and it entered. I finally did it, am not a golf failure!”I say excitedly as I run to peer into the hole then run back to Javier.

"Yes, you did it my little chipmunk”he says laughing at my happy display.

"Don't I get a reward”I ask coming very close to him and biting my lip.

He raises his hand up, "You said I shouldn't touch you"

I smile as I grab his hands and place them on each side of my waist, "now, do i get my reward?"

He smirked, tightening his hold on me and bringing me closer "for the record, you asked for it and I couldn't say no because in the first place, it was you-"

I shake my head in amusement as I grab two fist full of his shirt and bring his head down, and placing my lips on his. I feel him smiling as he kisses me back, gaining entrance into my mouth and causing me to moan a little.

A couple kissing each other in the middle of a golf court alone, lost to the world and just really really really into the kiss.... What could go wrong?

Rain.

~*~

"My sneakers is all green under”I whine examining the once white sneaker as I sit pull off the other leg and walk into the room barefoot.

"Here” Javier say throwing a white towel that smacks me in the face, I mouth 'I hate you' and all he does is smile, "go take a shower."

"Why didn't I go to my room to go take the shower?”I ask him looking at the white towel then my ruined sneakers.

"I don't know, we came here first, what's wrong with taking a shower in my room?”He ask pulling off his soaking wet shirt.

"Umm...”I want to say something, Meg you were about to say something, what is it? Since I've obviously turned dumb, I do the most reasonable thing, I turn around to walk out.

"You are going?”Pretty boy ask with a defeated voice. I just nod, not bothering to turn back and face his half naked self. "Oh come on please don't go, I might get scared. it's raining”he whined pouting as he materializes in front of me.

I give him the seriously? look, he shakes his head causing water drops to fall out, "I'll behave, I won't take a peek when you are bathing, I give you enough privacy, I won't even touch you when you come out, I'll keep my hands to myself, just.... Just stay with me”He pleaded, pouting and holding my hand.

I smile, who can say no to that? Not me. "Ok ok “I say defeated, as i turn away from him and head to the bathroom, his bathroom.

"Yes! I'll make omelets”he says as I disappear from his sight and enter the splendid bathroom.

I step in and take a large whiff of the bathroom, ha smells just like Pretty boy, I see his soap, shampoo, shaving cream, electronic shave, gel everything that makes him glorious every morning. I gently take off my clothes and slowly enter into the warm bubble bath. I close my eyes cherishing the moment-

"Megan? Do you need help in there?”Javier says making me scream and sink into the water. "Sorry, I just wanted to know and it's not like I can see you from hear, the door is closed"

"It’s glass”I point out poking my head out.

"Covered in fog”he corrects and I just know he is smiling.

"Javier leave me alone, you said you wouldn't peek”I say not understanding why I believed him in the first place.

"Can I come in? I haven't taken my bath yet and we could save-"

"Javier, if you come in here I swear to God, I'll scream bloody murder”I threatened suddenly feeling my heart rate accelerating as I sinked lower into the bath.

I heard him chuckling, "Calm your tIt’s woman, am not coming in, I just wanted to get your sneakers”then I heard his footsteps moving away. I let out a breath touching my flaming cheeks. Javier would be the death of me.

I finish up and I see a shirt lying on the bed with a sweatpant, I quickly put them on, the shirt was big but the sweatpant was manageable. I bet it isn't Javier's.

I come out and met Javier humming to a song while cleaning up my sneakers. He notices my presence and after drinking up my appearance, he points to the plate of steaming omelet on the counter. I move there wordlessly and dig in while watching him clean.

"You didn't have to”I say after my third bite, he looked at me confused, "the sneakers, the food, you didn't have to"

"Yeah but since you are my girlfriend, I think It’s legal”he says causing me to smile as hr mentions, girlfriend. Am still getting used to it.

I finish up my food and when am done cleaning the dishes, Javier emerges from the bathroom, shirtless. I quickly look away then hear h groan as he goes back in and comes out with a shirt, hugging his muscles, chest and abs. I prefer him shirtless.

We sit on the sofa in comfortable silence as I switch channels, looking for what to watch. "What's your favorite food?”I blurt out.

He chuckles, "that's what you are going with?"

I switch off the TV and turn to face him sitting avatar style and resting my head on the sofa, I nod, "mine is chicken, anything with chicken"

He laughs, mimicking my position, "that's why you attacked the stuffed roast like a wolf"

"Hey. On my defense, it was really good”I say smiling remembering the surprise meal.

"Yea right. Mine is everything” he says, I burst out laughing, typical man, "It’s true, I like steaks, sushi, burger and fries, Italians, Mexicans...everything"

"Okay. Favorite colour? Let me guess... Blue”I say already smiling.

"-and black. You got to admit, black looks good on me”he says, I nod, "but I also look good on other colours, grey, white-"

"I get it”I say putting a stop to him, he chuckled, "OK what's yours?”I made a face of thinking, "I like pink, purple, red, white, grey and black"

"Well aren't you the rainbow”Javier teased, I smacked his hand.

"Do you have a tattoo?”I asked out of the blue, I've seen him shirtless many times but I've never seen a tattoo, hell I've even had a glance of his nakedness but still nothing. Maybe he has does tiny hidden tattoo, I want to see, I want to know about it.

"Nope” he says popping the 'p'. "Didn't want to taint my perfect skin, It’s already beautiful the way it is”he says flexing his arm muscles. I resisted the urge to face palm, it's always the ego. "But I have nothing against tattoos, I actually admire some people with them, do you have a tattoo?"

I looked down at my hands that were wrestling nervously, why did I ask about tattoos. "Yep, I have one”I confessed.

"Really!?”Javier asked startling me, "sorry, I just... Wow you really have a tattoo?”I nodded wanting to tell him that It’s no big deal, Sam has six of them. "I want to see it."

"What?”I shrieked out, already panicking.

"Yea, I want to see it Megan. Please”he pleaded, using his blue eyes to plead too.

I thought about it, only Sam knew about my tattoo, not Rita, not the twin, I had it in a pretty private place because I didn't want my mum to see it and think that I was wasting money on a tattoo, my tattoo meant so much to me, it gave me strength and made me look forward to a better future, a brighter one, it Javier criticize it, I don't know want I'll think. I looked at his pleading eyes and I decided to show it to him, I wanted him to know everything about me, to see all. "Ok”I say then Javier nodded.

I raised the hem of my shirt and pulled the sweatpant away a little revealing my pink lace panties. Taking a hugh breath I pull on the hem of my panties not removing them completely but getting them out of the way so Javier could see the feather tattoo on my hip bone, my right leg.

I closed my eyes, I didn't want to see Javier's face, did he see the tattoo on the first day at the club, would he recognize me? I felt a sensation that made me take a sharp intake of breath. Javier was touching me, touching it, the tattoo. I dared myself to open my eyes.

"It’s beautiful”Javier said his finger tracing it and doing weird things to me. Weird nice things. "How long have you had it?"

"Since I was 17. Sam got one, an anchor on his right arm and I wanted one so badly, I wanted us to get matching tattoos but Sam wouldn't hear of it”I smiled recalling how Sam had vehemently opposed the idea of me getting a tattoo, "but I had already made up my mind and I told him that I'll get one anyway, with or without his help. He finally agreed and took me with him the next time he went."

"Did it hurt?”Javier asked still tracing the tattoo and not tearing his eyes away.

"Oh yeah. Ofcourse, it hurt like a bitch"

"So, Sam has one just like this?"

"No, I didn't get matching tattoos anymore, I decided I wanted a feather tattoo"

"Why? Why a feather?”He asks lifting his head up so he could stare into my eyes.

"Because a feather meant, hope for a better future, balance so I wouldn't fall and break, goodluck to guide me through this world and freedom, from my mum, poverty, debts, sadness...”I say but was cut short when Javier's hand went up to my face and he rubbed his thumb on my cheek, it took me a minute to realize I was crying. I turned away from Javier, "It’s means many more things but only those four stuck"

"That's great Megan, I love your tattoo and now I want one”Javier said pouting adorably as he stared back at the tattoo.

"And taint your beautiful skin? No way”I say sarcastically but Javier had that look of determination in his eyes, so am not sure he heard me. "Javier?”And before I could protest he placed a kiss on my tattoo, I had to bite my lip to keep me from moaning. He didn't stop there, his hands went into my shirt as the other one tried to bring my sweatpant lower. He is trying to drive me crazy, nope not trying he is, driving me crazy.

"Javier...”I tried to call his attention but it sounded more like a moan instead, his kisses were trailing up to my tummy, Megan get your head back. "Javier I need to tell you something!”I shouted and practically jumped out of the sofa, landing gracefully on my butt.

Javier looked confused then he looked as if he was going to laugh, "am sorry Megan, I broke my word not to touch you, and am clearly moving too fast-"

"Hey, it's OK, It’s perfectly fine by me. It’s just... I want to tell you something”I said feeling nervous again, Javier sat up his attention squarely on me.

"Umm... Do you remember the first time we met” I ask, fumbling with my fingers.

"Ofcourse i remember, I came to your house, you bumped into me, I saved you from falling and you freaked out about how I knew your name”Javier answered smiling.

I smiled too, then I didn't know how important he would be to be, "that's... That's not the first time we met"

"Huh?”Javier asked clearly confused.

I sighed, "you don't remember but our first meeting was at a club”I looked at him and his brow furrowed as he looked at me intently.

I got up, the seat suddenly feeling very hot, "I'd just faced another rejection from Sam and I was seriously heartbroken, so I came to the club to loosen up, let off some steam..."

"Hook up, get laid”Javier completed, I looked at him surprised that he just said what I wanted to say, his face was expressionless. I guess he got it because that's what most heartbroken girls do, so I looked away and continued.

"Yes. So I got really drunk and I wasn't thinking straight anymore and we kinda met each other, you don't remember because you were obviously drunk as well. I called you bluey, because of your beautiful eyes and I told you my name was..."

"-Nicki Minaj”he said and this time my head snapped to him so fast I think I broke something.

"How did.. What?”I asked super confused, surely that is not a coincidence, he was looking down smiling, does he remember?

Then he got up so fast and approached me as I backed to the wall in surprise, "you remember”he stated smiling at me.

"You remember?”I asked, so surprised.

Javier picked up my hand and entwined our both hands together, then looked straight at me, "ofcourse I remember, I can never forget the best night of my life"

I looked back at him, my brain going completely numb, this is not how this night was supposed to turn out.

"That, that was the night I fell in love”he added making my eyes widen.

Hiccup.

He chuckled, "that's not saving you this time babe"

Hiccup.

"Now what do you say, let's go recreate that night. This time very sober”Javier says placing kisses on my jaw and neck, driving me more crazy.

Hiccup.

Am doomed.

In the best way ever.
