Dreams Come True, Angel [best books to read for self improvement txt] 📗

Amy paced back and forth across her hotel room, "Damn it Shane how did you manage to lose your job?", "I quit, besides you make she enough money for the both of us.", A drunken Shane slurred. "When are you coming home anyways?", he asked angrily. "I don't know.", she answered. Amy hated the day her friend Daisy found her stories and talked her into getting one of them published, not really she just hated the irritating phone calls from Shane. And the fact that two days after she had left to promote her book Shane had started bringing bimbos back to their home, her home. "You should come home now.", Shane ordered. "I can't.", Amy said simply trying to stay calm. After an hour of arguing about that with him she finally hung up on him.
Amy grabbed her cigarettes and walked out on the balcony. She sat down only to have to stand right back up to dig her lighter out of her pocket, only to watch it go flying off the balcony,"Damn it.", she huffed plopping back down in the chair. "Need a light?", she heard only to turn and see a handsome, well dressed man holding a flame. "Thank you.", Amy said as she leaned over to light her cigarette. "I'm Nathan and you are?", he spoke so sweetly. "Amy.", she answered reaching out to shake his hand only to watch him take her hand and kiss it lightly. Amy was speechless men just didn't do things like that where she came from all she could do was look at him in astonishment. "So what brings you here?", Nathan asked bringing Amy back to reality. "A book.", she answered simply. Nathan engaged Amy in small talk for awhile, then they bid each other a goodnight then retired to their rooms.
Amy got up the next morning and went on with her busy schedule as usual with Shane calling her what seemed like every five minutes with every little problem he had. It seemed to take forever but eventually her day ended and she found herself back in her room. She changed into some more comfortable clothes and grabbed her cigarettes and chips and made her way out on the balcony. "Need a light?", she heard Nathan's sweet voice and couldn't help herself she smiled at him. "Thanks but I'm good.", she was still smiling as she held up her lighter for him to see. "Dinner then?", he asked catching her by surprise. "Um Thanks but i got dinner right here.", she answered shaking her bag of chips. "That's not dinner.",Nathan laughed,"Let me take you out.". " I really shouldn't, it wouldn't be right.", Amy hesitated. "Why would it be wrong?", " It's just two people sharing a meal.", " besides I get tired of eating alone", Nathan countered giving her a warm smile. "I'm not sure.", Amy was still hesitant. "Come on just dinner.", Nathan pushed still giving her that heart melting smile. Amy finally agreed and went inside to dress. Twenty minutes later she met Nathan downstairs in the lobby. He offered his arm and she took it then he led her down the way to a quiet little resturaunt. Amy shared a nice evening with Nathan he was a perfect gentlemen, she had no regrets. Not even when he caught her looking through the jewelry store window at a dainty diamond cross necklace, after he paid the check. Amy tried to pay for her share of the bill but Nathan wouldn't hear of it. Nathan walked her to her room and bid her goodnight before going inside his own room. Amy went to bed with a smile on her face for the first time in years.
Amy woke the next morning with that smile still on her face. And somehow it seemed to remain in place as her hectic day went on. When her day came to an end she grabbed some take-out on her way back to the hotel hoping to repay Nathan for the wonderful evening he had shared with her, that is if he hadn't left, but that was a chance she was willing to take. Amy walked in her room sat the food on the table, grabbed her cigarettes, and made her way out on the balcony. She looked over to his balcony to see it was empty, figuring he was gone she lit her cigarette and sat down. At that moment her phone started ringing,"Hello" she answered it. " Hey girl how have you been?", Her friend daisy asked. "Good and you?",Amy was happy to hear from her friend."Good.....",Daisy started as Amy's call waiting interupted. "Damn i'm getting another call." ,Amy explained before telling her friend bye and switching over. "Hello", Amy answered the other call. "Bitch you need to come home and clean the damn house now.", Shane's voice boomed over the line. "I can't.", Amy said calmly. "Look you whore you come home right now or don't come back.", Shane said hatefully. "I'll get there when I get there.", Amy said a little louder. "Fine then I'm moving Candy in since you're not coming home you cunt.", Shane's voice came through the phone so loud that Amy had to hold the phone out. "Shane I can't deal with this now.", she yelled into the phone then hung up and turned it off.
"He sounded pretty mad." Amy turned to see Nathan, "Is he your husband?". "No, I don't know what you would call him.","We've just lived together for the past fifteen years.", Amy answered. "Here you look as if you could use a drink.", Nathan smiled as he offered her his glass. Amy took the glass from him and asked if he'd like to come over so she could repay him for last night by buying him dinner tonight.Nathan gave her a warm smile and accepted her invitation. Amy walked in and opened the door for him, she was removing the food from the bag when he walked in and said,"I brought the bottle, i thought you might want another.".
Again they made small talk over dinner.Nathan had asked a dew questions about Shane but Amy kept her answers simple and avoided telling him all the horrors of it. Before she knew it they had finished off the bottle. Amy could hardly believe it she didn't even feel drunk. That was until she stood up. Amy tried to walk outside, but fell straight into Nathan's lap instead. "I sorry" she started apologizing trying to right herself only to fall back into his arms. To her surprise Nathan didn't push her into the floor instead he pulled her up into his lap and held her and laughed. "You're fine.", he assured her. "Shane would have thrown me to the floor.' , Amy blurted out before she realized it. As soon as the words left her lips she covered her mouth and peeked up at Nathan knowing that she had said too much. Thankfully Nathan gave her that breath taking smile and said, " Seems to me that Shane doesn't know how to treat a lady.". Then he stood with her and pulled her close. "I haven't danced in forever.", Amy smiled as he started to sway with to the music that was playing somewhere in the distance. "That's a shame, you're quite good.", Nathan whispered in her ear as he pulled her closer. "You're just being nice.", Amy said softly as she tried to turn and walk away from him. She knew she had to distance herself from him. After years with Shane his sweetness was playing havoc on her heart. All Nathan would have to do was ask and she'd be his for the night then spend the rest of her life treasuring the few short hours she had spent with him. Worse of all she felt like a really horrible person for wanting him to ask. Her mind and her heart were in total conflict. "No, I am not.", Nathan grabbed her and pulled her back into his arms and even though her mind was telling her no her heart won the argument and she melted in is arms. Truth was she finally felt what she had been missing for so long. After a few more minutes of swaying Nathan's lips brushed her ear and he whispered, "I should get going.". "I know, but don't.", Amy said softly as she snuggled closer to him. Nathan knew he should leave, but there was just something about her that kept pulling him in. She was unlike anyone he had ever met. There wasn't a single thing fake about this woman, she said exactly what she thought. He just wished that she wasn't involved with someone else, because he'd sweep her off her feet and make her his.

Amy was drunker than either of them thought, she suddenly blurted out," I'm hot.", then stripped down to her bra and panties.
"I really should go." Nathan said but he couldn't take his eyes off of her. "Don't go I've felt alone for so long.",She said as she grabbed his hand never letting her eyes reach his afraid that if she did all she would see was rejection. "What about your boyfriend?", Nathan could barely say the words. "Shane, when he's not out whore hopping he's smacking me around.", Amy looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "In that case.", were the only word that were able to escape his lips before they met hers. Nathan kissed her so passionately that she fell limp in his arms.Amy wanted to stay in that kiss forever, but when it finally ended all she could do was ask,"Where have you been all my life?". Nathan smiled at her question," Looking for you.", he whispered against her neck making her smile to. Amy wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for another kiss. Amy was so lost in the moment she started unbuttoning his shirt then pushed it off his shoulders and let it fall to the floor. When she popped the button on his pants Nathan broke the kiss and sat down in the chair,"You sure you want to do this?". "I'm sure I don't want you to leave.",she said as she walked over and stood in front of him. "You don't have to do this for me to stay.",Nathan look up at her and smiled as he placed his hands on her hips. "I really want to.",Amy smiled as she undid the clasp on her bra and let it hit the floor. "Well i don't want to make you unhappy.", Nathan smiled as he pulled her closer taking one of her nipples into his mouth. Nathan watched as the passion flared in her eyes leting his hands slide slowly under the waistband of her panties and down her legs until they hit the floor. Then he moved her back to have a look at her. "What?", Amy asked feeling
