Eve's POV
After shoving the last piece of toast in my mouth, I tied my hair into a tight bun that sat directly on my head.

I smiled back at the reflection which was looking at me. 

I packed all my necessities into my purse, ready to head back to the hospital. 

"Ugh," I groaned almost loudly as I had forgotten the key inside. I rushed back in for it as quickly as possible. 

"Eve?" I heard someone say as I bent towards the couch. I turned around to see Emma standing at my door. I grabbed my keys as I headed towards her.

"Hi," I muttered and locked the door. "I just came to shower and eat. I was just on my way back." 

"Okay. You look good though. But what's with the bun? You never like to show 'too much of your face'," I smiled at what she said because it was true. 

Anytime I tied my hair out of my face, I never liked how my ears looked so I always let my hair down. 

"I just felt like I needed a change? Maybe, I don't even know," I shrugged and Emma chuckled.

"Well, change is good. At least, mostly. Do you have any classes today?"

Classes! 

"Oh no, I totally forgot about classes! I have one in…" I checked the time. "Twenty minutes! I can't also leave Nathan by himself. I…"

"Calm down, girl. How about I head to your lecturers and have them give me any assignments. Don't worry, I'll make up a good excuse," She smiled, showing off her beautiful set of teeth.

"Oh, Emma. Thank you so much!" I suffocated in quite a tight hug. "Thank you, thank you." 

"Okay, okay. Eve, I can't…" She spoke breathless before I let go of her.

"Sorry! I've got to go now. Thank you once again." I pecked her quickly on her cheek. 

"Okay, take care of yourself! Love you!" She shouted behind me as I walked to the lot. 

"Love you!" I shouted back.

Nathan's POV
I was a tad bit sleepy. All I did was just laid in this bed but I felt very tired. I repositioned my head properly on the pillow, closing my eyes shortly after. 

Before I could be totally drowned in sleep, there was a knock on the door. There and then, I knew Eve was just playing with me. 

"Eve, I know it's you. Just come in already." But there was no response. "Seriously, come in. I missed you."

The door was slightly pushed open and the sound of heels meeting the tiled floor made me realize it wasn't Eve.

Genevieve!

"I'm sorry, were you expecting someone else?" Her voice annoyed me everytime I heard it. I sat up on the bed, eyes meeting with hers. 

"What do you want, Genevieve?" I searched her from top to bottom and saw she had nothing with her. 

"Are you not excited to see me?" As she walked closer to me, the uneasiness I felt became intense. 

"Don't come any closer, Genevieve." But she did the exact opposite. "I'm serious…"

"Or what? What will you do, Nathan?" She brought her hand to my cheek. "Huh, baby boy?"

I pushed her hand away from my face. She started laughing and it confused me more. 

"I never knew you to be aggressive but what can I say? People change," She shrugged and walked around my bed. "So where was I?"

"Just say what you want and leave." I stared at her as she stopped at the foot of the bed. 

"Let's see. What do I want want, what do I want?" Then she smiled. "I want you. I want you, Nathan." Her eyes grew darker and her expression changed. She was serious.

"Well, let me tell you something, Genevieve. You had your chance but you wasted it so that's that. Now get out!"

"Oh, Nathan...you've really surprised me." She paused and chuckled. "What happened to the man I fell for some years back? This isn't him."

"You said it yourself. People change." She smiled and nodded and continued walking till she stood to my left. 

"Fair enough then. But here's a little reminder in case you forgot about it from 2 years ago. If I can't have you, no one and I repeat, no one can. No one!"

What she said terrified me as I thought of Eve. I can't let anything happen to her. Nothing at all. 

"Just leave." She smiled and placed her hand on her lips and blew a kiss to which I twisted my face in utter disgust. 

"See you, my love." I watched her as she exited the room. 

I'm not your love and will never be, Genevieve Quinn. Never! 

My chest was rising up and down rapidly. At this moment, I felt two things; anger and fear but the anger far outweighed the fear.

Genevieve was getting to me with all her games but I must not let her. I must stop her and I must do it fast.
