His Beautiful Addiction

Gwen, who was watching a reality show in the parlor, was stunned when she saw Tiana step out of her room, looking strange.

Not like strange, but like extremely shocking.

''Gwen, don't you think we need a car? '' Tiana asked carefreely as she walked into the parlor.

Gwen was stunned, for the past few days she had been on her own, moody and crying, but here she was, wearing bum shorts that accentuated her curves, exposing her hot legs, with a crop top stopping right below her rounds boobs, outlining her perfectly shaped stomach. Her hair was let down in waves and she had dark makeup on, and on her feet were heels;

Okay, what was going on?

Gwen couldn't help asking herself. Even before meeting Nicklaus, she had never seen her sister dress so sparingly, was she pushing herself to her limits because of him?

''Why are you staring at me like that, is my makeup not good?'' Tiana creased her brows, and she turned to the floor to ceiling mirror in the parlor to look at her reflection;

''You don't look bad, I was just… surprised, where are you going dressed like that?''

Tiana pouted her lips and smacked it as she gazed at her reflection, she was surprised at what she was seeing; she knew she looked good, but the person staring back at her on the mirror, was walking seduction.

She looked at her exposed thighs and she knew that if she didn't cover up a little, she might not get back home safely;

''Give me a second. ''

Tiana turned back to the room and changed to tight-fitting pants; it accentuated her curves in the right places but at least it covered some skin.

''So I was saying, don't you think we need a car, we cannot keep calling a cab all the time when we have the money. ''

Tiana spoke as she walked into the parlor again.

Gwen was surprised at her abrupt change, just yesterday; she looked like she was going to die any second, but today she was looking like there had been no issue at all.

Did she get over him that fast?

Although Tiana didn't want to hear any news about him, she had checked his updates behind her back and found out that he had resolved the issue in the company, but there was no news of any marriage. She was so shocked that she had to recheck and when she didn't see any news relating to his marriage or engagement, her eyes widened as she realized something.

Nicklaus… Nicklaus loved her.

She had overheard their discussion under the rain that day and after seeing his saddened expression and his reluctance to leave even after she had gone, she knew he liked her but she wasn't sure, but after seeing the news, her fears were confirmed.

But that did not mean that she would let her know, on the contrary, she was going to make sure she didn't know for a very long time. It was already over between them, there was no need opening up old sores; was there?

''Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, but we've not had driving lessons, ''

''That's not a problem, we'll go to the driving school, it doesn't take too long to learn. ''

Tiana replied, not looking at Gwen, her eyes checking out her reflection in the mirror.

''That's great, so we are getting two cars right? '' Gwen widened her eyes expectantly;

Tiana chuckled, ''I'll get one for you… ''

''Oh my God, thank you! You're the best sister in the world!! ''

Gwen exclaimed happily but Tiana cut her off immediately;

''After you graduate from the makeup academy. ''

She turned to her with a smile, and although Gwen's face drained of all color,

''No, that's going to take a while… ''

After everything that had happened, Tiana gave up on going to a makeup academy, she decided to just sponsor her sister, and maybe find another thing doing. Seeing her sister become a makeup artist would give her the same measure of joy.

''Gwen, you can drive mine whenever you want but you will only have yours when you graduate, okay?''

''Tiana… ''

Gwen wanted to argue but Tiana's phone vibrated in her hand and she looked at it;

''Oh sister, my cab is here, we'll talk about this later, bye!''

She smiled, putting her phone into her bag; she walked towards the front door.

''Where are you going, it's past seven! ''

Gwen asked, walking after her.

''I need to party. ''

Well that was what was in her mind until she entered the cab. She knew if she got wasted, no-one would be there to take her home and she might get raped by multiple men, so instead of going to a bar as she had earlier planned, she went to the movies.

After getting a ticket for a movie, she bought a bucket of popcorn and Coca-Cola and entered the theatre.

She remembered going with him to the movies before, and she quickly pushed the thought to the back of her mind as it began to dampen her mood. Thankfully, the movie she had chosen was funny, so she forgot about it quickly.

Suddenly she felt someone sit beside her, and she turned to know who the person was, her brows creased.

He had a smile on his chin, and his piercing eyes stared at her sweetly;

''I see you've finished your drink, care for another?''

Liam said stretching the Coca-Cola drink in his hand towards her. Tiana gulped and she looked around before settling her eyes on him again.

''What are you doing here? ''

''Ouch, that hurts. Didn't know that would be the first thing you would say to me after so many months.''

He scrunched up his face as though he was in pain.

Tiana smiled;

''I'm sorry, I was… I was just surprised. How did you find me here? ''

She asked again,

''Oh, I was in a bad mood and I came to watch a funny show to take my mind off it and surprisingly, I saw you sitting in front of me, and then I realized that you were a better show than the movie, so I've been watching you keenly. ''

Ordinarily, with the piercing eyes gazing down at her and his teasing, Tiana could have blushed, but she was way past that, she had heard enough of men's fake wooing so much that it wasn't moving her anymore.

''Oh, okay. It's nice to see you after a long while, how have you been. ''
