The Billionaire's Desire novel Chapter 26

"Will you be quiet, you're only here because you begged Nick i dont mind kicking you out James"

Myself, Nick and James were currently in the next room to this empty house currently waiting for Ben to arrive with Justine and Filipe.

Seems that Justine couldn't bare to wait so she called us asking for us to meet her in this house. A fake house viewing which has the possibility of ending badly.

" okay okay, i'll be quiet" James pulled up the zip to his hoodie so it covered his mouth.

Nick grabbed my hand" you hear that, i think i hear them" i peeked through the door and he was right. I could see Ben walking in, his eyes moving around the room he was in.

This wasn't completely a lie, they do need to view some houses but this isn't the main reason why they are here. I'm actually nervous.

" I thought you wanted an open plan kitchen" i heard Ben say.

" I still do" she replied.

They walked around a bit more.

( crunch)

I closed my eyes briefly. "Sorry, i got hungry" James said shoving the chocolate bar back into his pocket. But the damage was already done.

" Selene?" The door opened revealing a very confused Ben but as his eyes moved to the other two in the room his face turned to pissed.

"What is this?" he looked back at Justine and Filipe.

I stepped out and grabbed Ben's arm. " A meeting, sit down" i pointed over to the small table near the kitchen.

"Thank god, this house is shit" Ben mumbled walking over to the chair makign sure to barge past Nick who stumbled back from Ben's strong force.

" Did you seriously convince my sister to stick up for your boyfriend, god Gen how low could you go"

Honestly, Ben can be fucking difficult at times. I felt Nick tense up besides me, clearly not pleased with Ben's words directed at me.

" Benjamin, this isnt her fault. None of this is so stop being an asshole" Justine defended me. Which i was pleased for. Never expected her to call her brother an asshole though. Thats new.

" Ben, i was never honest with you. I was the one that ended it with Nick and it wasnt because he did anything wrong it was all me"

Ben continued to stare at Nick or rather glare. Ben must be the only person i know who isn't scared of Nick or finds Nick intimidating.

" all you, i dont think so, he made you feel that way" Ben resisted to accept that Nick had no fault in this. Which could be true but this could easily be resolved.

Hard headed, just like his father. My dad could vouch for that.

" He didn't. I had my own demons Ben i never fit in with my friends and i had this popular guy as my boyfriend who had dreams so high i couldnt match it" I squeezed Nick's hand.

"But" Ben wanted to object.

" why can't you accept it. You didnt even know what i was going through until i told you"

I widened my eyes at her accusation.

" he was your boyfriend he was..."

"You're my brother" she screamed at him. Ben was taken back by her outburst.

I think we all were. James literally coughed over his own saliva.

"This isnt helping mate, Justine just wants to move on" Filipe said as he rubbed Justine's shoulders for morale support.

I smiled at this. Filipe was a really good guy, just what she deserved. Ben should be concentrated more on them than worrying about Nick. If Nick was ever a problem i would deal with it.

" I just dont want you girls getting hurt" Ben said his voice much more calmer now compared to before.

" Mate, i dont think thats a problem anymore. Your sister is happy and so is Gen and as Nick's bestmate i can say that he has no plans of hurting anyone, unless they some rough...oww"

I rolled my eyes. I was wondering how long James would last before he spoke. Nick successfully landed a blow to his stomach at what he could have said.

" Look Ben, i hate how things ended with your sister but she's forgiven me and i am not prepared to make any more mistakes with Gen, you can take my word" i watched as Nick stuck out his hand for Ben.

We all waited in silence.

"Fine" Both me and Justine breathed a sigh of relief as Ben shood Nick's hand.

"Great now thats sorted, can we eat"

This time i laughed as i wrapped my arm around James. " c'mon i'll treat you to a burger" he sighed " thank fuck for that" he mumbled as we walked out of the house.

Nick wanted to stay back and talk with Ben.

We ended up at shake shack, James said he wanted to go here and i didnt object.

Just as he was about to bite into his burger i spoke up. " when are you going to settle?"

" I'm a model i dont have to to settle" he shrugged popping fries into his mouth.

Well that is the most stupidest thing ive heard, and I have heard a of shit. "Just because youre a model doesnt mean you dont settle down, arent you bored of one night stands"

James looked up and grinned. " who says im having one night stands, i just like to tease"

I raised my eyes " i swear i saw your tongue down someones mouth the other night"

He folded his arms. "Ahh thats making out, not fucking my little virgin" he said grinning.

I glared at him.

" she's defintely not a virgin" Nick slid into the booth next to me pressing a soft kiss to my neck.

I grinned.

" Yeah who are you calling a virgin" I said smirking over at James.

I breathed out when Nick's fingers traced my thigh.

" Guys, not when I'm eating"

Serves you right.

"Everything good" I turned to face Nick. He nodded " yeah, we're not buddies but at least he can tolerate me now"

I smiled. Obviously not the best outcome but it will have to do for now.

" I need to get back to the office, but I'll see you later" I pressed my lips against his and watched him walk away.

"You guys make me sick" James mumbled as he drank from his glass.

James also had to run off, he was due to be in Newyork tonight for a shoot. This left me alone again but I used this time to get some work done.
