Don't Leave Me
Remembered Nicholas' promise yesterday that he wanted to take Kimberly around the city of London. With great enthusiasm, today, the woman deliberately woke up early. He quickly took a shower and then headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast first. It was seven in the morning, but Nicholas' room seemed to be still tightly locked.
Kimberly was sure the man hadn't woken up yet. After breakfast was made, she walked to Nicholas' room, intending to wake him up. Knocking several times, the man finally opened the door. Still, in his sleeping pyjamas, Nicholas stared lazily at Kimberly.
"Gosh, is it noisy so early in the morning?"
"Ck! how can you ask like this? You today promised to take me around."
Kimberly huffed in annoyance. Don't tell me this man in front of him forgot his promise. Nicholas didn't answer right away, and the man glanced briefly at the clock on the wall in the corner of the room. His eyes narrowed, checking what time it was.
"Gosh, it's only 7 in the morning, Kimberly. Why don't you wake me up at 5 in the morning? Where are you going so early? Jogging?" Nicholas shook his head in disbelief.
"Isn't the air still fresh if we go for a walk in the morning?" Kimberly debate.
"I'm still sleepy," said Nicholas. The man then intended to return to closing the bedroom door. However, Kimberly quickly blocked by leaning her body against the side of the door.
"Come on, Nick, hurry up and take a shower. How much longer do I have to wait for you? If you know, I'm starving now," Kimberly whined.
Nicholas wrinkled his Jacking. "If you're hungry, you can eat first. I'm not asking you to wait for me."
Kimberly began to look annoyed from the look on her face, but the woman tried to be patient with Nicholas. She didn't want this fine morning to go to war with that annoying man.
"Don't we always have breakfast together?" said Kimberly. Then the woman stepped forward toward Nicholas. She directed hher hand and then deliberately caressed the man's broad chest, covered in pyjama cloth. Her fingers danced there. It made Nicholas goosebumps for a moment.
"Do you need me to bathe you, my future husband?" Kimberly asked in a deliberately sensual tone. Nicholas took a deep breath, feeling that he wasn't ready to accept Kimberly's teasing on a morning like this. If he couldn't hold it in, he could be the woman was going to pounce on right now. He even struggled to stop the wild thoughts that were starting to fill the recesses of his brain.
"Okay, I'll take a shower. But that doesn't mean I lost this time; I don't want to play with you, Kimmy."
Kimberly chuckled softly at Nicholas' behaviour. The look of laziness was visible on the man's face.
"It's up to you, Mr Alistair. I don't care. Now take a shower. I'll wait for you at the dining table."
Without being asked, the woman came out and immediately closed the door to Nicholas' room. She chose to wait patiently in the dining room while playing on his cellphone. After ten minutes had passed, the person they had been waiting for finally came.
"Have you taken your medicine?" Nicholas asked between their meals. He was worried that Kimberly's illness would return to the same as before.
Kimberly, who was still chewing her food, just nodded. He chose to take a sip of his drink before he spoke. "Don't worry, and I've had a drink. I even put it in my bag. I'm not a kid, Nick. You don't have to keep reminding me."
"I just don't want your stomach to hurt again while we're out for a walk suddenly," Nicholas replied.
Hearing the man's reply, Kimberly stared intently at Nicholas' face. "Don't tell me you're worried about me? Oh, I'm flattered, Nicholas Alistair." Instead of answering, Nicholas, who had finished his meal, chose to stand, ignoring Kimberly's question.
He then grabbed the sweater previously lying on the sofa and put it on. It wasn't long before the man left. If yesterday he was gentle, today his true nature has reappeared. The cold and indifferent nature often makes Kimberly chuckle annoyed.
"I'll wait five minutes downstairs, and if you take long, we'll cancel today's outing." The man said as he walked out of the apartment unit, making Kimberly couldn't help but curse in annoyance.

Around London in the morning is the right choice for Kimberly. The air is still very calm, making it comfortable even if you have to walk. Rows of old buildings neatly arranged along the road he passed. The scenes he used to see in movies seemed so natural now. Taking advantage of the time, Kimberly asked Nicholas to take her to almost all the tourist attractions in London.
Starting from the Tower of London, London tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, to Westminister Abbey he visited. Now, the rest of the London Eye is the last destination for him to stop at. An endless smile etched on Kimberly's tiny lips. Nicholas, who had been stealing glances, felt his heart warm. Even without Kimberly's knowledge, the man secretly took several pictures while the woman was enjoying the tourist attractions she visited.
"Do we have to wait in line this long? I might be able to ride this giant Ferris wheel at night." Kimberly sighed as if in despair at the entrance to the London Eye. There was a long line of tourists wanting to ride the giant Ferris wheel capsule.
Nicholas shook his head. "No need. Why have a rich fiancé if you can't provide VIP access for his partner." The man spoke proudly. Then he grabbed Kimberly's wrist to follow in her footsteps.
"You arrogant bastard. So do I have to thank you?" Kimberly replied as she continued to follow Nicholas' steps towards the VIP door, which did look quieter than the previous entrance. Nicholas shook his head.
"Thank you is not enough."
"Then what should I do?" asked Kimberly confusedly as they entered the waiting room of the London Eye. He watched Nicholas hand over the access card to enter the capsule to the guard. "Just be an obedient woman and don't bother me."
"Only that?" asked Kimberly to be sure. Nicholas nodded.
"Yeah, pretty easy, right? Now hurry up. I'll be waiting for you here."
Instead of sitting casually on the waiting chair, seeing Nicholas, Kimberly became confused. She thought the man would come with him into the capsule.
"Aren't you coming up?"
Nicholas shook his head again. "No, just you. I don't like heights."
Hearing Nicholas, who didn't want to go up for fear of heights, made Kimberly laugh involuntarily. How could an almost perfect man be afraid of these little things?
"Gosh, this looks like it's pulling Nick. You should accompany me upstairs."
"No! You can ride alone or not at all."
"You ---"
"Not that you promised to obey and not bother me." cut Nicholas immediately before the woman finished her sentence. Kimberly took a deep breath.
"Okay, I'm going up by myself. Just pray that my pain doesn't recur when I'm on top." After saying those words, Kimberly went into the capsule alone.
But before the door was closed, suddenly Nicholas came after and joined in. Kimberly was again confused by the undefined behaviour of the boss, who is also her fiancé.
"Ck, did you go up?" Kimberly asked in a confused tone.
"I just didn't want to risk something happening with you up there." The man casually then sat his body on the chair inside the capsule.
"Are you sure you want to come up?" Kimberly tried to make sure.
Now it was the man who made her worry. Instead of answering, Nicholas pulled Kimberly's body so that she sat on his lap.
"Don't complain too much. Now sit back and be quiet. After this, enjoy the view of London from a height."
"Nick!" Kimberly screamed and tried to get up. Before he could even move, Nicholas wrapped his arms around the woman's waist. He tightened his arms as if he didn't want to let go.
"Stay still and sit quietly. Don't blame me for doing more than this."
Nicholas' threats made Kimberly couldn't help but give up sitting on his lap. Being in the Ferris wheel capsule for a while made Kimberly amazed. He can enjoy the stunning view of the city of London from a height of 135 meters. From the parliament building, Big Ben to Buckingham Palace is visible inside the Ferris wheel.
"Woah, if you hadn't brought me here, I might never have had a place like this."
Kimberly never stopped giving thanks, and thanks made Nicholas smile amused at the woman's expression. A happy expression that Nicholas had never seen before.
"I'm hungry, Nick. I haven't taken my meds either." Kimberly complained as they just got off the Ferris wheel.
"You want to eat something?" Kimberly nodded quickly. "I want seafood, and I'm tired of bread and meat." Nicholas took a deep breath. He thought about which restaurant he should go to for a moment, considering it was getting late and Kimberly had to take her medicine immediately.
"I know, now hurry to the car. I'll take you to the restaurant you want." It took only 15 minutes of driving, and they arrived at Barners Tavern. A fine dining restaurant that serves a special dish of squid risotto and crispy fried calamari is very Famous in the city of London.
After ordering and finishing all the food ordered, Kimberly went to the toilet first, leaving Nicholas to sit alone. On the sidelines of waiting, a woman suddenly came over. He immediately sat in the chair right in front of Nicholas without hesitation. For a moment, Nicholas froze in his position. He didn't think that after so long, he would meet again.
"Is it fate that I could meet you here?" who is that woman? "Briana ..." she smiled when Nicholas said her name.
"I thought you had forgotten my name, Nick. How are you?" she asked casually.
Nicholas tried to keep his face calm. He didn't want to look the least bit nervous even though there was a feeling of pain rising in his chest again.
"Fine, very good. How about you? Are you married to your lover yesterday?" asked Nicholas without hesitation.
The woman smiled. "No, I'm not married. After you broke up with us. Not long ago, I also ended my relationship with Mario. I think he only deserves to be friends for fun."
Nicholas just nodded. His face was still as calm as before. He hoped Kimberly would come back from the toilet soon in his heart.
"How about you? If I may guess, you must not be married, right?" After that question left Briana's mouth, another woman came and walked over to her.
"Sorry if I took so long," Kimberly said, sitting next to Nicholas. He believed that this woman's presence was very unexpected. It could be seen from Nicholas's uncomfortable movements.
"Is she your friend?" Kimberly's gaze then turned to the woman in front of her.
Nicholas nodded. "Yeah, she's my friend, Briana. You can hang out with her."
After hearing that name, Kimberly then understood what caused Nicholas to feel uncomfortable. Confidently Briana stretched out her hand towards Kimberly.
"I'm Briana, Nicholas' ex-fiancé ..." she emphasised, even underestimating Kimberly. Kimberly smiled and took Claire's hand.
"Nice to hang out with you. I'm Kimberly, Nicholas' current fiancé," Kimberly replied.
Not to mention the shock of seeing the figure of a woman who suddenly came and clinging affectionately beside Nicholas.
Now Briana has to accept another revelation that Nicholas is engaged. She lost severely now, and she didn't think she would forget about it because their relationship was long enough. But hearing Nicholas' statement that he had found a replacement first, there was a pain creeping up on Briana.
"Honey, I seem to be very tired. Can we go home now?" Kimberly said, breaking the silence.
The woman then rose from her seat while gently tugging Nicholas' arm. Nicholas nodded in agreement. He had even been hoping to get out of Briana's presence.
"Then excuse me. Nice to meet you, Briana. I hope you will come to our wedding early next year." Nicholas deliberately bragged about marriage in front of Briana. He just wanted to see the reaction of the woman who had hurt him in the past. Briana didn't budge. It wasn't long before the woman smiled faintly, although the impression of compulsion was visible on her lips. Kimberly and Nicholas even realized that.
"With pleasure, I'll come if you invite."
***
After meeting Briana at the restaurant this afternoon, Nicholas went straight into the room when we got home. Until nightfall, not a single man was moving out. Worried that something might happen, Kimberly took the initiative to knock on Nicholas' door several times.
"What do you want?" Nicholas asked as he opened the bedroom door.
"Are you okay? I was worried about you," Kimberly answered honestly.
A little lazy, the man replied. "I'm fine, and if there's nothing important, you can go. Please leave me alone."
Kimberly shook her head. Instead, he went into Nicholas' room and sat relaxed on the man's bed.
"What more do you want, Kimmy? I'm not in the mood for a joke right now." Nicholas growled in annoyance.
"Nick, are you acting weird when you come home from the restaurant? Are you reminded of your ex-girlfriend?" said Kimberly.
"None of your business. Now get out of my room."
This time the look in Nicholas' eyes was as cold as before when Kimberly first met. Instead of doing what Nicholas ordered, Kimberly grabbed the man's arm, so he sat right next to her. Seconds later, Kimberly bravely leaned forward and pressed her lips to Nicholas's. He bites and even crushes with passion. Nicholas, who was initially surprised, slowly started replying and enjoying. Kimberly broke their lips for a moment.
"You want to learn to love me, don't you?" Kimberly asked in between their kisses. "From now on, no one else will ever come between us. If you want me to love you sincerely, then do the same." she continued later. Controlling his ragged breathing, Nicholas nodded slowly.
A moment later, the man grabbed Kimberly's neck. He was deepening the kiss, crushing even the occasional bite of the woman's luscious lips to fulfil all her desires. For a moment, they were both lulled. Nicholas had just released their lips when he felt Kimberly's breath start to pant. "Please don't leave me, Kimmy." Nicholas pleaded, then hugged Kimberly tightly again.
