"Where are you going?" Nico asked.
"I'm going to-"
"I already paid it, you need to rest not walking around." Nico said as he led me back to my hospital bed. He made me rest and waited for the IV to finish. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I woke up because there's a sound of alarm.
The doctor checked on me again and let me go home. The nurse took the IV off and Nico helped me stand up. We walked out from the the emergency room.
"Nico, I'll-"
"What?" He raised his eyebrows.
"I don't want to have a debt with you, can you tell me your"
"Why do you keep saying that? I don't think it as a debt." He looked at me coldly and I sighed nodding.
"Thank you for everything, I'm really thankful that you help me. You can go now." I said.
"Dakota."
"What?"
"Give me your phone number." I looked at him surprised as he gave me his phone.
"Why? What if I don't want to give you.."
"What?!" He looked at me disbelief.
"Nico!" We both turned to see someone calling him. I took the opportunity to grab a cab. I told the taxi driver to drive me to Celine's hotel.
I leaned my body back. The truth is that I felt bad towards Nico but I wanted to make a revenge on him. I want him to experience what he did to me. I called Celine.
"Celine!"
"What? What happened?"
"I met Nico again." I said and I can hear she gasped.
"Are you for real?"
"Yeah, met him again."
"Tell me everything!" She said.
"On my way to the hotel." I said as I looked out the window.
"Okay!"
When I arrived at the hotel, I paid the cab and went straight to the restaurant. I waited for Celine to come out, her shift will end in a few minutes. I ordered some food and I kept stressing out.
"Hey!" Celine came to me and she sat down.
"What took you so long?"
"Fought with Tim again." Tim is Celine's head chef. They both will kill each other passionately and they never go a day without fighting.
"Tell me about it!"
"I was going for the meeting project, the one that I told you last week." I said and she nodded.
"I bumped into him and he kept looking at me."
"He doesn't know you?"
"No." Celine looked at me disbelief.
"That's weird."
"I hate him." I hissed.
"So how about today?" She asked.
"I met him again when I signed the contract. I was sick and got a little bit headache. He took me to the hospital and then I came here." I said and she face palmed herself.
"Did you get bitchy?"
"Yes."
"That's so you, Dakota.."
"I'm hungry, can you check my food?" She nodded and walked to the kitchen again.
"Ah.. we meet again. What an interesting situation.." I froze when I heard Nico's voice.
"What are you doing here?"
"Nico! Why are-" Zac, Nico's bestfriend, said.
"Oh.. hey, beautiful." Zac smiled and Nico smacked his head.
"Dakota, here y-"
"Celine? What are you doing here?" Zac asked Celiene and Celine ignored him. She put my food right in front of me.
"No way!" Zac gasped.
"You're Dakota? Dakota Backford?" Zac asked and I turned to him smiling sarcasticly.
"Hello Nico and Zac. Yes, I'm Dakota Backford." I smirked and Nico's face was priceless.
"Speechless?" I asked and both of them just froze in place.
"Dakota.." Nico whispered my name.
"Now you know why I'm being bitchy right?" I asked and he was just.. speechless.
"Can you both leave me alone?" I asked and he shook his head.
"Look, I wan-"
"Want what, Nico? You want to hurt me again? I don't think so." I shook my head.
"Can you leave us alone?" Nico turned to Zac and Celine. I looked at him annoyed and he took a deep breath before looking straight into my eyes.
"Dakota, look.. I'm so sorry for what I did to you 6 years ago." He said and I sighed.
"Okay." I said coldly.
"I'm sorry, Dakota. Please don't be like this.."
"Be like what? You want me to be nice to you?" I asked.
"I know I've been a jerk, I'm sorry."
"Okay, I accept you apology." I said completely being a bitch.
"Dakota.."
"Don't give me bullshit, Nico. I don't want to do anything with you anymore." I warned and he sighed.
"What should I do so you can forgive me?" He asked.
"Get out off my face and let's just be strangers." I said but he shook his head.
"I can't do that."
"That's the easiest thing you can do."
"Hey Dakota! Oh.. Nico.." It's Harry, dad's friend.
"Hey Harry." I greeted him.
"Hey." Nico turned to him.
"What brings you guys here?" He asked.
"Oh we-"
"Discussing about work." I cut Nico before he can say weird things.
"Oh, since you both here." He sat with us and I turned to him smiling.
"What's the matter?"
"I'm working on big projects this year, I need you both to help me." He said and I nodded.
"How about you Nico?"
"Of course." Ugh!
"Great, I need help with shipping and organizing some concerts." He turned to the both of us.
"That can be arrange." I said.
"It won't be a big problem." Nico said.
"Good! I was going to reach out and glad that found both of you here." He smiled.
"Are you here alone?" I asked.
"No, I have my friends waiting for me. I'll talk about business with you two very soon. My secretary will reach out for you both." He said as he stood up.
"Enjoy your meal." Nico said.
"Thank you, you too." With that he left.
"Now, we're going to be bestfriends."
"You wish." I hissed glaring at him.
"Like 6 years ago."
"No, you can dream." I stood up and walked towards the kitchen to look for Celine. I'm used to going into the kitchen, I know the owner so it's fine.
