His Beautiful Addiction

 The next day, Tiana woke up early. She had her breakfast and took her medications without any nagging. Nicklaus was coming today so she didn't want him to complain about anything. She was very excited that she would see him again but her excitement turned to worry when by half-past twelve he wasn't yet there, unfortunately, Diana and Gwen became the receiving end of her nagging.

''Didn't he say he would come? He isn't here yet, where is he? ''

''he is coming, maybe something came up. ''

''Okay. '' She paused; ''but it is past 1 already, he should be here by now. ''

Diana sighed falling back on the couch; '' maybe if you sleep and wake up, he'll appear. '' 

Tiana pouted, maybe she should calm herself down for a moment, she was getting too worked up. Resting back on the bed, she decided to watch a movie, when suddenly there was a knock on the door; before Diana or Gwen could even look towards the door Tiana had dashed towards it, she opened it immediately but the smile on her lips dwindled when she saw who was on the other side;

''Hi… '' Michael greeted with a smile on his lips;

''Hi, you must be Michael; '' Tiana pulled herself together and welcomed him into the ward, making sure to mask her disappointment.

''Yeah, and you must be Tiana. '' his eyes fell on Diana and he gave her a sweet smile, making her look away with a faint blush.

The woman sitting beside Diana looked a lot like Tiana so he guessed she was her sister.

Tiana walked back to her bed; ''this is my sister, Gwen,'' Tiana introduced and Michael smiled at her;

''it's nice to meet you, Gwen. '' Gwen nodded.

''Nice to meet you too; ''

Tiana had briefed them on the whole issue yesterday, so she knew what Michael was there for. Michael's eyes turned to Diana who was sitting on the farthest end of the couch, her eyes transfixed on her phone as though she didn't know who he was.

He watched her for a moment and then shifted his gaze to Tiana.

''He has not come yet? '' he asked and Tiana shook her head;

''No, he's not yet here, you'll have to wait for a little, '' she explained with a small smile and Michael nodded, and then he went to where Diana was sitting and sat down beside her.

''Hey; '' Michael whispered just loud enough for her to hear. Diana's cheeks reddened, he had this sexiness in his voice that almost made her squeeze her legs.

''hey; '' she replied trying to sound indifferent. ''you came earlier than I expected; ''

''yeah, had to close from the office early, ''

''Okay, ''

Michael was about to say something when the door opened and they all turned to see who walked it.

Finally; Tiana breathed as she stood up and embraced him in a hug, kissing him briefly on the lips.

''What took you so long, been waiting since morning. '��

''Sorry, I was a little occupied, but I'm here now. ''

''Okay, Michael is here already. '' She said, turning towards the duo on the couch.

Michael stood and greeted him; Nicklaus saw Gwen and he smiled;

''Gwen, nice to meet you again, how have you been? ''

Gwen beamed; ''I've been doing great! It's nice to meet you too, I'm sorry for how I treated you the last time we met. '' she apologized with a beautiful smile, and Nicklaus shook his head.

''No worries, I didn't take it to heart. Heard you are in New York for your studies ''

''Yeah, I'll be rounding up this year. '' Gwen explained;

''That's great. ''

 They talked for some while more and then Diana and Gwen gave them space to discuss the important issue, they sat on a couch away from them, watching a movie.

Gwen seemed as though she was watching the movie, but her whole concentration was on Nicklaus. Her eyes glanced at him once in a while.

Gosh, he was so freaking handsome.

To think that she let someone as handsome as that slip from her hands, how did she not see how drop-dead gorgeous he was then?

Gwen bit her lower lip. They had met twice in the past and it was just today that she realized what she really missed.

Not only was he so rich, but he was also caring and too damn handsome, and with the way he held Tiana as they talked, occasionally kissing her cheeks even when they were saying something serious, Gwen wished she was in her place.

Seeing how radiant Tiana looked with him, her heart grew sour. He chose her first but Tiana intentionally took her place because she knew how handsome and wealthy he was. She had been crafty all along.

Gwen regretted the moment she pleaded with Tiana to take her place, she wished she could go back in time; she would never have done that.

Tiana had always been like this, being crafty but at the same time looking as though she was a saint. She was no saint!

Her eyes turned to Nicklaus again; his brows were creased, and it gave him a cold sexy look. Jeez! What did she just let slip from her hands?

The more she looked at him, the more he appeared irresistible in her eyes. Gwen realized that she wanted him.

She turned to the television when a thought entered her mind.

 Nicklaus chose her first that day that must mean that he liked her, right?

She could rekindle his love if she tried, Tiana took her place, she took what rightfully belonged to her, so it was not wrong for her to want it back.

Nicklaus wanted her, he had always wanted her, Tiana was just preventing him from seeing it, but she would make him see it, soon.

A mischievous smile washed her lips as the thought came into her mind.

Now, she didn't want him dead anymore, she wanted him to be hers, and she would make him hers.
