His Beautiful Addiction

'' Hey '' 

Diana answered her phone after the fifth missed call. It wasn't intentional; she was shooting a scene when he called.

''Hi, I've been calling you, '' Michael spoke when he heard her voice;

''So sorry, just saw your missed calls now, I was shooting a scene. ''

''No worries, I'm outside the venue.''

Diana's eyes widened; ''really? '' they were shooting a scene at a hotel, a little far from the central city, although she told him about it, she was not expecting him to come, so she was surprised;

''Are you serious right now? '' 

''Yeah, I'm outside, it's raining heavily, I'm inside my car. ''

Diana peeked outside, it was raining heavily. He had come all the way here in the rain just to see her, wasn't it a little…?

''I was meeting someone around the area, so I figured I should stop by, and maybe drive you home if you want, you mentioned coming in the crew's van; ''

Right;

Diana looked down at her feet, and the little excitement that was about bustling inside of her died before it could even ignite;

He was just being thoughtful as usual;

A smile slanted her lips as she thanked him immediately; ''Oh, thank you. That was so thoughtful of you. I'll be out in a moment; give me a second. '' Diana cut the call and turned to the others. She had finished her shoot for the day, so she was free to leave; after telling the director that she was leaving with a friend, she turned to the exit.

Diana stood at the entrance, and she looked around the parking lot for a familiar-looking car, suddenly a car door pulled open and Michael stepped out with an umbrella in hand. He walked to her and put it over her head; his eyes glanced at her body and he frowned;

''The weather is too cold, and you wore something so light? '' He scolded, his eyes looking over what she wore;

Diana gulped; she was wearing a sweater but it wasn't thick, she did not know how cold the weather was because they were inside a heated room. It was when she stepped out of the hotel that the cold air hit her ribs.

''I didn't realize the cardigan was this light, haha ''

Michael watched her for a second then took out the long coat he was putting on and draped it over her body.

''There, you should take care of your body more, unless you want to fall sick. ''

Diana's eyes widened in shock at his gesture, and she quickly looked away from him. He gave her his coat and he was left with a wooly shirt, which was nothing to the colds of early January.

''Don't worry, I'm fine, we'll get home soon and now you're more naked than I am; you might catch a cold. ''

She said, trying to take off the coat but Michael stopped her with his hands;

''I'm fine, now let's just go and don't argue, okay? ''

 Diana's lips opened to say something but she decided against it and followed him peacefully to the car; he held it open for her and closed it after she got in.

Diana couldn't help being confused; what was his plan?

Even if he was naturally this nice, did he not think for one moment, that she would actually start falling for him?

Did it not cross his mind even the slightest?

Her heart squeezed when she remembered what she had overheard a few weeks ago; he didn't like her obviously, so why was he being too nice? If he wanted sex, he could just ask, she might sleep with him just for the fun of it, but trying to get her to fall for him this way, was just not sitting well with her.

''What are you thinking? ''

Diana was kicked out of her thoughts when Michael leaned to help her with her seatbelt. His face was a little too close, and she felt her body stiffen until he was back in his position;

'' nothing, just blanked out for a moment; '' she smiled, her eyes turning to the window; he seemed like a nice guy in the beginning but now all she could think of him was a disappointment. Before she would be excited to be in the same space with him, but now, she was sad whenever she was with him.

She stared out the window silently as she watched the trees go by;

If he was been straight with her it would be better, doing it this way was not going to work, especially now she knew his true feelings.

Why was she so unlucky with friends?

Diana pouted; maybe she hurt the friendship goddess in her past life.

'' do you wanna have dinner before going home?''

Diana turned to him when she heard him speak; she wanted to say yes, but knowing she would just lose appetite eating with him, she shook her head;

''No, I'll eat at home tonight, thank you. '' she smiled and leaned back on the chair. Maybe she should cut him off entirely? Was that the best?

Diana thought for a moment.

For a moment, she really thought she found a friend, how could someone who looked so nice actually nurse those bad thoughts?

If he wanted to use her, he should have done it that night when he found her drunk, why until now?

She bit her tongue sadly; Men were indeed surprising!

Michael stared at the road uncomfortably;

Diana was just too quiet; well she had been this way for some time now, but this night was very obvious. It was as though she could not wait to get out of the car.

His throat tightened as he wondered what he must have done wrong recently but he couldn't think of anything.

''How was shoot today? '' He asked, wondering if she was having a bad day at work.

Diana nodded; ''it was perfect. '' her reply was curt as she kept her eyes on the road.

Michael gulped; ''okay; ''

If it was before, she would have asked about his day, but she didn't even care, it was obvious she didn't want to keep the conversation going. Michael couldn't help but feel a pang in his chest.
