Nicholas
The old man had invited Eve for lunch in his house, which was a first since he doesn't let just anyone in his house  who isn't a mafia royalty...

He hoped this lunch would ease the tension between Eve and I but it doesn't seem to work. She is stiff as stiff as a board towards me..

Eve would reply to anything the old man asked with a sweet smile that seem to light the world but when it came to me she would frown and answer in a detached tone...

I didn't mind the attitude though, I wanted her to see the other side of me that was sweet and charming so that she would agree to go on a date with me...

I even got her a bouquet of red roses which I bet she didn't like since she said thank you in a crinkled nose and threw them on the seat beside her on the dining table  like they were some stinky trash....

"It's so rude of you to be on your phone while I am walking beside you.." She was really getting on my nerves...

The old man has asked me to show her around which was a huge disaster  because she rarely lifted her face from her iphone...

I thought the helipad would amuse her but she just shrugged...

She looked back for a second and turned to me,"Are you talking to me????"

"What the heck is that supposed to mean????"I asked with darkened eyes...

"You don't fool me with your sweet charming behaviour...Just drop the act, papa isn't watching anymore..."

"I am not trying to fool anyone, I am just trying to be friendly with you..."

"It's too late, Mr Kame....First impressions matter..." She shoved her iphone in the left back pocket of her blue jeans and began to look around the tennis court...

She had worn a pair of blue jeans, a simple plain black t-shirt and white point toe stiletto...Atleast that's what Vivian told me they are called, the only difference been hers are black in colour.. Her curly hair was held in a messy bun and she didn't look like she had some make-up on but still looked radiant...

Although I felt like I wanted  to rip her heart out, I chose to be the bigger person and try to work this weird relationship out...

"Eve I know I am...."
"A jerk, an asshole, a rude douchebag, a......"

"I get it!!!!!! All I want is us to start over and maybe know each other more over dinner tomorrow...."

"Are you asking me on a date Mr Kame????" She arched a perfect brow at me...

"You can say that....We will go on a fancy restrauant and I promise not to be a jerk or an asshole...."

She sucked in a deep breath, bit her lip and looked at me like I had said the most disgusting thing....

"I don't know how to say this politely but if I came across you in a dating app I would definitely swipe left...."

"Are you turning me down????"My eyes widened with alarm not believing what had just happened....

"Not precisely...I would be open to have s*x with you for a night but I can't promise I will call you back after that...It's just that arrogant men are a huge turn off for me....You are handsome and all but your attitude sucks...."

She would have rather cut my d*ck off than say such words to me...I could feel an unexplainable pain stabbing me....

I still couldn't fathom what was happening...

Many girls would sell their souls to the devil just to have me glance their way for a second  and here she was bruising my ego which for the record was sacred to me...

I have never been rejected by a girl before and trust me I felt like my stomach had caved in as though she'd reached in and shredded my insides...

Why would she not want to go on a date with me???That was the a million dollar question in my head...

"Nobody says no to me....."

" I know understand why you are so full of yourself...People are making you think you are god out here...." Her voice was dripping with sarcasm...

"You don't know what I am capable of  Eve Minnie Raine...." I bled inside out with rage....

Her words seemed to get the better of me...Not only did she turn me down but went ahead to insult me...

Does she know I can blow her head up and nothing would happen to me????Does she even have the slightest idea who the heck she is messing with???

"I now understand why Mason Marcias married another woman and left you on the sidelines watching...No one can't stand you, you are unlovable...." I felt like a  jerk acting childish, but, damn it...I wanted her to have a taste of what she has made me go through from the moment she turned me down....

"How dare you????" Tears threatened to spill from her eyes as she slapped me with so much force setting my cheek on fire...

The slap was another first...No woman has ever had the courage to lay her hand on me....

I must give her an A for balls...,

"You are so mannerless, who is your mother????"

That was it Eve Minnie Raine....

"Who the hell gave you the right to hit me and insult my mother????" I grabbed her arm but she didn't flinch...

"If she had spanked you  a little bit harder we wouldn't be here....If you don't mind, let go of my hand...." She said between clenched teeth...

"And if I don't!!!"

"You will end up with blue balls Mr Kame...." There was a warning at the edge of her tongue...

I shivered at her response and freed her arm from my grip taking a step back...
"That's more like it...." She flashed me a small smile that didn't even reach her lips and left....

She turned me down...
Slapped me...
And on top of it insulted me....

She is gonna pay for this....

If this is what innocence means I would rather be stuck with my bad ass psychotic girlfriend...

Better the devil you know than the one that pretends to be an angel..

***** 
I always escaped reality in the club but today nothing would make my rage subside....

Who does she think she is????

"You shouldn't let her get to you...." Hitler slid a tumbler of whisky to me...

I stared at the Amber liquor , the events from earlier playing in my mind in slow motion...

With a single bellow of a roar torn deep in my chest, I threw the glass recklessly at Hitler who luckily ducked..

. The glass missed him with an inch and shattered on the floor...

I still couldn't believe she turned me down....

"Bro, I think you should go home before you burn this whole club down....I will take care of everything...."

"I think you are right....That girl had fucked with my senses so damn bad that I can't think straight... "

"Got to admit, she has done alot of damage to you..I have never seen you so worked up...."

"I just can't believe she had the balls to hit me...."

"Go home bro, tomorrow you will wake up feeling better..."

"I hope you are right, call me when anything comes up..."

"Sure..."

I thought I would find peace in my house only to walk into an argument between Vivian and the head of the staff Ma'am Ferro...

"I won't let you talk to me like that Ma'am Ferro, I am the woman of this house..."

"Sir Nicholas hasn't married you yet...."

"He loves me and trust me he will fire you the moment I tell him to...."

"Nobody is getting fired in this house...." I thundered behind them.  Ma'am Ferro has always been like a mother to me and I couldn't stand anyone insulting her not even Vivian...

"Love, if you....."

"Vivian if you are not happy with how things are done in my house, you can go back to your house...." I snapped at her emphasizing on 'my house'.

I know she hadn't done anything wrong and this house was also her house but I needed someone to vent my anger to...And she just seemed like the perfect fit...

"How can you say that????"

"I am not in the mood of your silly dramas...."

I walked to the bar area which was filled with almost all kinds of expensive whisky, scotch, vodka and wine and poured myself some whisky and ice cubes in a tumbler sitting on the arm chair Infront of the fireplace...

I stared at the fire, rolling around the ice cubes in my glass thinking of different ways to put Eve in her place...Someone has to pull her from her high horse...

But I got to admit even though I was mad at her, she still fascinated me...No woman has ever kept me on the edge before...She was my desire and my torment...

Many girls would want a piece of me but Eve Minnie Raine maybe a good time with me for a night and not even call me back after that...

Ouch!!!That really do a number on my ego....It was beyond crushed...

Vivian knelt before me and linked her fingers with mine that were on my thigh...

" I thought you left...." I took a sip...

"What did Ivie do that has gotten you so worked up????" She pushed my legs apart and got closer to me...

"She slapped me, insulted me and made me feel like shit...."

"I told you she isn't an easy catch...So what are you going to do now????"

"I don't know Vivian!!!!!" I replied in a irritated tone...

"How can't you not know???I expected you to tell me, you were going to force her to marry you and make her life a living hell....."

"But...."

"No buts Mandela....She will always love Mason and the fact that she will be married to the man she doesn't love is the worst punishment you could give any woman...."

Why did I not think of that????
I get to put her in her place and make her mine...

Just when the idea excites me, guilt dampens my rage....

Is it not too extreme???
She might end up hating me....

No, I will try and ask her if she will marry me and if she refuses which I am sure she will, I will consider other options...

"I will think about it Vivian...."

"There is nothing to think about it Mandela...Eve can never be interested in you or even think about loving you much less liking you...The only way you would get her to marry you is through force...."

She had a point...
But I was still willing to give her a second chance...

What was happening to me???

"I got your point Vivian and as I said I will think about it...."

"Why do I have a feeling you are going soft on Eve???First you look like you want to bring the whole world down in rage and now you don't want to force her to marry you...Are you falling for her????....."

Maybe, maybe not....I am not sure...

"You are the woman I love and my reality...Thanks for the advice, I will go to sleep now..." I leaned down and kissed her sweetly before standing from the arm chair and heading upstairs to my room...

A/N 
Those confused about what's happening... I have decided to write the story of each girl from Binded by friendship individually....And this is a story of Eve and Nicholas...
