The Billionaire's Desire novel Chapter 33

" I love you, but if you don't answer that fucking door" Nick growled next to me. He laid next to me in my bed. He grabbed a pillow and shoved it over his head.

I slowly sat up. I only just caught onto what he was talking about. I grabbed a jumper from the desk and raced down to get the door.

I opened the door and I honestly didn't know what or who I expected.

Nick was halfway down the stairs, pulling on a T-shirt when he mumbled " oh shit"

James shoved me out of the way and stormed in.

" I really don't get enough credit for fixing you two up, do i. Let's be honest you wouldn't have each other if it wasn't for me" I rolled my eyes as he continued to talk absolute nonsense.

" Why am I only hearing about what happened now, aren't we friends?" he asks.

This is way too early for me to deal with the idiot that is James. It was actually refreshing for him not to be here whilst he does this film in America.

" You didn't tell him? Nick asks me. I stare at him dumbfounded. Now he is putting the blame all on me.

I kicked his leg " fill him in whilst I change, I have meetings today" I walked around them and headed back to my room to get ready.

For Nick's stupid question he can deal with James and his dramatics.

" Will you be there tonight?" Nick says as he leans against the door. I had just finished getting ready and was just choosing my earrings for the day.

"Whats tonight again?" i asked even though i knew exactly what tonight was. I watched Nick's face turn from confusion since he only told me last night, just before he spread my legs on the edge of the bed.

To annoyance since i just enjoy teasing him.

" Just tell me the dress code," i said standing up and walking up to him.I smoothed down the frown lines in his forehead.

He breathed out. His hands finding my waist. " you know i love you right?" he whispered.

I leant back. " what are you not telling me?"

" well the people i work with on the show are quite interesting especially the women" I had to smile, the fact that he decided to tell me in advance meant that he thought that i wouldn't trust him which makes sense.

I ran my fingers through his hair. " As long as you behave yourself, we've got nothing to worry about" I said. And I meant it.

I spent the most of the day at the office. I worked alongside Jake making preparations for the next month of business.

"What are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be at his launch?" Molly said walking into my offcie. Thomas, my assistant standing nervously behind her.

" yeah at 6, I just need to finish this draft,"i said zooming in on my designs for the next collection in spring.

" No, you need to go now. You'll be in the news if you don't show your support for your boyfriend" Jake says walking in, my bag in his hand.

" I always support him" i replied.

Jake shook his head" you haven't been to a single event, tell me what his show is called right now"

I do go to his events, occasionally. I mean, I've got a business to run too you know.

" fine, but Thomas make sure you have my schedule ready for tomorrow " i said pointing at him.

I know I didn't need to remind him, i would probably have it on my desk before i even get to this event tonight. He is good in doing what i ask when i ask with no exceptions.

I left the office and met Ben outside. He opens the door for me and starts on our way to the house to get changed for tonight.

I didn't know much about this Tv show that Nick no only wrote and directs but stars in. He didn't really share this with me, thinking about it now he doesn't really talk that much about his businesses.

I walked into my wardrobe and pulled out a pink box i stashed in here last week. I get sent a lot of dresses and i normally send them to people but this one, i wanted to keep. A small time designer emailed me and sent this dress which she spend a whole year making from scratch.

I have worn dresses by top designers and i am a designer myself but i have never seen such a beautiful and detailed design for a dress.

I ran over to the window

I ran over to the window. Ben was waiting out near the car for me. " i need some help"i shouted down to him.

He looked up at me. " coming" I watched him run-up. There was no way that i could get this dress on myself, luckily for me Ben was used to doing this for me.

" Do I really not support him enough?" I asked Ben as he helped me into the car. These thoughts wouldn't just go.

Ben turned to me" what, with Nick?" i nodded.

" I mean its true you dont really go to his events but people have to understand that you can't just be at his beck and call, you have your business and i just dont see you being that trophy wife"

I leant back in my seat. Surprised at his response. Nobody had said this to me, was i supposed to just support him and not care about everything else.

Did he or any man deserve that.

" i think we established pretty early that you're never going to be that kind of girl and i think Nick knows that too. If Nick wanted you at all these events he would ask wouldnt he" Ben spoke again as he pulled upto the venue for the event.

I had to smile. Ben really knew me well but that was expected with how much time he actually spent around me.

" don't worry about them Selly, just march in there and support him tonight," Ben said parking at the entrance. I smiled at him, leaning forward and kissing his cheek.

I turned around and got ready to face the scrutiny tonight. Tonight it was all about his show, with nominees in the top 3 catagories it was very plausable that he would win tonight.

As soon as i stepped out cameras turned to me, i quickly put that camara worthy smile on my face and walking inside.

" Selene, over here" I spotted James standing with a lovely blonde at his side.

" excuse me" i passed by reporters trying to get me to tlak to them. James clearly had the act for getting me out of interviews.
