Katherine's POV:

I woke up feeling ache through my whole body. I got up from the couch and started stretching myself to ease the pain. Since the day Nate did that stunt of his, I've been sleeping on the couch in the living room. A week has passed up till now and I'm enjoying every single moment of it. Not only have I been sleeping on the couch, but I've been ignoring his whole presence and it's starting to get on his nerves. I want him to learn his lesson of not messing with me, and that's why I have a plan that I'm going to do today.

For some reason what he did bothered me and I have no idea why, but that's why my lesson took a whole week. Unfortunately for me, he hasn't stopped bringing his mistresses home. But now, instead of taking them to our room, he takes them to his office. Ever since, I haven't entered his office, but I still make Maria clean the whole room daily. He really does bed a lot of girls; doesn't he ever get tired?

I shook my head getting these thoughts out of my mind and barged into the bedroom. Nate is still on the bed sleeping, so I decided to interrupt his beauty sleep. I got into the bathroom to take a shower not bothering to take my clothes with me.

I took a quick shower, wrapped a towel around my body, and got out of the bathroom. Nate was still sleeping, but now I need him to wake up to execute my plan. I'm going to seduce him, I evilly said to myself. I threw a pillow at him and saw him stir lightly.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty" I said in a sarcastic tone.

Once I saw his eyes open, I started changing making sure to show him some skin but not too much at the same time "What are you trying to do to me now woman?!" he hissed.

I suppressed a laugh and continued without facing him. I heard a groan and then a door closed. I looked behind me and saw that he was gone and the bathroom door was closed. I couldn't hold my laugh anymore, so I started laughing hard but in a low voice so Nate wouldn't hear me.

I continued getting dressed quickly after recovering from laughter and left the room before Nate finished his shower.

I gave Maria an off today since she looked tired yesterday so now I have to cook. I decided to cook for Nate and I even though I'm still ignoring him. He probably cannot cook and I can't just let him starve. I prepared Egg Benedict with orange juice for breakfast, Nate's favourite. I might have ignored him for the past week, yet I got to know of his likes and dislikes.

I set the plates in the dining room and came back to the kitchen to finish the orange juice when Nate came as well "Why are you preparing breakfast? Maria isn't here today?" I ignored him as I usually do and he groaned

"Now I have to prepare breakfast for myself" he said in an annoyed tone. I handed him his orange juice and took mine to make him realise that I prepared breakfast for two without having to actually tell him that. I headed to the dining room and Nate followed me.

"I see you have prepared breakfast for the both of us" he said as he took a seat "And prepared my favourite" he continued and smirked. I remained quiet not knowing what to answer that, not that I was thinking of talking to him either way. Lies. Lies. Big fat lies, my inner self scolded. Alright fine, I miss talking to him!

"Till when are you going to ignore me?" he said in a rather annoyed tone "Until you stop bedding women" I smirked knowing that he won't stop

"Sweetheart, you know that won't happen" he said mimicking my tone and smirk "Well then, I'm not the one who's ignored nor annoyed by the act. I could keep it going forever babe" his face fell. Hah, one for me, zero for Nate.

After he recovered, his expression turned into a blank one "Do as you please, it's not like I care. You're actually doing me a favour by ignoring me" for some reason that hurt, but I have no idea why.

After that, we ate our breakfast in silence and parted ways. I went to the living room and decided to call Alex. Alex and I spent a lot of time together this week getting to know each other. He even introduced me to his girlfriend on Skype and I introduced him to Bella as well.

"Cupcake, to what do I owe this pleasure" he said in a fake formal British accent "Why do you keep on insisting to call me that" I hissed

"You're sweet, and the first thing I remember when I say sweet is cupcake. I love cupcakes and you're my cupcake" he could be too sweet sometimes, his girlfriend is one lucky girl

"That's too many cupcakes in one sentence" he laughed

"Anyways, did you call for a reason or did you just miss me" he said the last part in a girly tone and I couldn't help but laugh. He sure does know how to make a girl happy.

"Let's do our plan today"

....................

"Just on time" I said to Alex as I opened the door for him. I led him to Nate and I's room, and started taking our positions "I have a feeling this won't end well, how about we teach him a lesson in another way?"

I narrowed my eyes at him "It's either this or the actual thing" he sighed as he sat on the bed "Trust me, nothing bad is going to happen" he nodded.

I took a seat next to him and started the movie on the laptop. I wanted to teach Nate a lesson by putting him in the exact position he put me in. The only difference is that I won't actually bed someone.

I knew that he has to go out in half an hour, so in any minute now he will come to get ready. Instead of bedding someone, Alex and I came up with a plan. We will pretend that we are watching a movie which is Fifty Shades of Grey and when it comes to the sex scene, we will put the volume on maximum. Now I know that I could've done the plan on my own, but I needed Alex to be there so Nate would feel stupid and of course it would bother him more.

I played the movie on the part that we chose, turned on the volume, and waited for Nate to come. Not a couple of minutes passed when I heard footsteps. The door slammed open revealing a furious Nate shouting "What the hell is going on here!"

The moment he saw us not doing what he had in mind, he froze. His expression was priceless! "What the hell is going on here? Were you guys making out while watching a movie, because I heard bloody moaning"

I turned the laptop to face him and I replayed the part again "You mean this?" I answered him in the most innocent voice you could ever hear. He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment, and then his whole face turned red. Oh Shit, he got angry.

"You did this whole bloody thing on purpose to get back on me! Till when are you going to give me a cold shoulder and do stunts like the one you did in the morning and this" he gritted through his teeth and then took a deep breath to calm himself "Look, I know that what I did is wrong and I apologise for it. I've learned my lesson and I won't do it again"

He nodded to himself and left the room. He had a hurt expression drawn all over his face before he left and for some reason I felt terrible for making him feel that way.

"I think you owe him an apology now, what we did was too much and it hurt him" I turned to him and gave him an are-you-serious look "Why would he be hurt, it's not like I actually slept with you. He was the one who started it and I was merely teaching him a lesson"

"Haven't you seen the look on his face when he first got into the room? He could've murdered me with the look in his eyes. He likes you, that's why he felt hurt and now I'm starting to think you feel the same why. You like him as well and that's why you are teaching him a lesson, because you were jealous and hurt. The only problem is that you both don't realise your feeling towards each other till now. Think of it" he got up from the bed and patted my shoulder

"Apologise and talk things out, I'm out of here"

He left the room and I was now left alone with my thoughts. How could he possibly think that I like Nate? I don't do jealousy and that's why I'm sure that I don't like Nate. Even with my ex-boyfriend, I never got jealous when girls would flirt with him.

The only reason I'm trying to teach him a lesson is because it bothered me when he tried to bed a stranger in my own bed "Lies. Keep telling yourself that, but even you don't believe it" my inner self argued "I'm not lying so shut it"

Perfect, now I'm arguing with myself. I shook my head trying to get all the thoughts out of my head and went downstairs looking for Nate. I ended up finding him in the living room with a glass of whiskey in his hand.

"I'm sorry" I said as I took a seat next to him. He ignored me and did the same thing I've been doing to him the past week "I know what I did was too much and I apologise for that" he ignored me again

"Please don't ignore me, I'll do anything" I said in a small voice. He turned to me and grinned "Anything?"

"Well, anything reasonable" I muttered afraid of what he might ask from me

"Come back to the room" he said all of the sudden making me turn to him shocked. I so did not expect him to ask me that. I thought he might ask to bed me but not this.

"Stop sleeping on the couch and come back to the room" he added

"Why would you ask me that" I asked still shocked

"I know the couch isn't-" I stopped him "Honestly"

He sighed "The past week I haven't been able to sleep without you next to me. Somehow, I've gotten used to your warmth next to me the couple of nights we spent together and now I can't sleep if you're not by my side" again, he shocked me with his words.

He set the glass on the table and left the room, leaving me to my thoughts for the second time. I took a couple of deep breaths trying to digest his words and Alex's, then followed Nate to our room.

Nate by then was in bed and just like before, in his boxers only. I took my pyjama to the bathroom, changed quickly, and got into bed next to Nate. I tried to stay away from Nate as much as possible by sleeping on the end of the bed, but I felt hands pull me.

Nate pulled me to him and cuddled me "Nate what are you.." he interrupted me "Shush, let's just stay like this of tonight, I haven't slept well for a week. Just this night" he muttered softly and he sounded like he was about to fall asleep.

I turned to face him and wrapped my arms around him bringing him closer to me if possible. His eyes were closed and he seemed already asleep. I inhaled his sweet manly scent and pecked his forehead, then his nose.

"Sweet dreams, my rich snob"
