His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 331 - Make You Doubt My Feelings

"Do you think I would bath with you while you're unconscious?''

Diana's eyes fluttered. 

"Uh…" now she thought about it, he was not one to take advantage of others.

"If I should say, I would say no, but you never can tell, male hormones are something else."

She laughed, but Michael shook his head.

"Nah, I'm very serious about you, I can't do anything that would make you doubt my feelings for you. So no matter what it is, I can't take advantage of you."

Diana's laugh stopped on her tongue as she stared at him,

It was rare to find someone who was very handsome and at the same time loyal. Her heart warmed as she watched him. Maybe this was her reward for loving someone so recklessly in the past.

"thank you." She whispered with a smile. He was someone every woman would wish for and she was so lucky to have him. 

"why?" Michael glanced at her amused.

"Nothing, just… for everything. For coming into my life. I don't know what I would have done without you, maybe I would have still been pining about my one sided crush."

He laughed, "let's go grab something to eat okay?"

Diana nodded and looked forward. 

"Okay." 

Diana's phone rang as she was about to enter her house after bidding Michael goodbye.

She swiped her phone and answered when she saw the caller.

"what's up?" she asked as she entered into her house and closed the door, her shoes came off first followed by her handbag which she tossed on the couch in the parlor.

"Are you home? Wanna take you out. "

Richard asked, Diana could hear the honking of vehicles and she knew he was on the road.

"Thanks for the offer and no, I'm not home,"

"Okay, I'm almost at your place, I'll wait for you till you get back."

Diana sighed, "what is it?"

Richard laughed, he knew she was lying. "come on, I just want to spoil you, it won't hurt would it?"

"Sorry sweetheart, but my man is already doing that."

Diana didn't think she would one day be proud to call someone hers.

"Ouch, don't rub it on my face. Alright alright, just hang out with me, I'm so lonely."

She thought for a moment. Even though his father was a thorn in their flesh, he was still his father, and with what was going on with his mom, she pitied him a little.

"Two hours, nothing more."

"Thank you, I'll be there in less than five minutes."

Richard ended the call before Diana would change her mind. Diana rolled her eyes as she had a quick shower and wore a crop top over a high waist trousers, with sneakers on her feet. She did a light makeup and grabbed her purse, quickly sending Michael a text, she stepped out of her house.

Just that moment, Richard pulled into her compound.

"Didn't know five minutes could be so long." She rolled her eyes at him when he came out of the car.

Richard laughed,

"Sorry, I'll take you somewhere nice to make it up,"

Diana shrugged, "whatever, just know you've used thirty minutes of your time."

She said and got into the car.

Richard sighed as he started the car,

"All these bullying just because I want to spoil you."

"Five more minutes gone."

Diana said with a poker face and Richard knew better than to keep talking.

He pulled up at a famous restaurant and held the door open for her.

"Do you like it here?"

Diana shrugged and walked past him to the entrance.

"At least put up a smile, we're not quarreling."

"I'm not smiling because I can sense what you want to talk about, but I'm praying that it's not it."

She said as she sat down and picked the menu by her side.

Richard smiled, but didn't reply her.

Diana had already eaten with Michael so she just ordered red wine.

"What about you, Mister? '' the waiter asked when he saw he wasn't picking anything.

"I'll have whatever she's having."

The waiter nodded and walked away. 

When he was out of earshot, Richard turned to her,

"It seems your man is treating you well, this is the brightest I've seen you in like forever."

Diana smiled, "yeah, he's the best thing that has ever happened to me."

"True, I can see it, I'm very happy for you. And you both are filming a movie together, right?''

"Yes."

"That's interesting. You didn't seem like someone who would want an open relationship."

Diana creased her brows,

The waiter returned with the drinks and placed it in front of them.

He filled Diana's glass before Richard's and left immediately after.

"How?"

She asked,

"Well, after this movie, what next? Will you be comfortable with your boyfriend kissing and making out with another woman on set?

Don't get me wrong, I know it's just acting but, do you think you can take it? What if he starts to like someone else?"

"Richard…" Diana called, stopping him from talking, "I just wanted him on this set with me because I'm most comfortable with him, and besides acting is not his career, I don't think he wants to pursue it."

She replied nervously. Even though she didn't want to accept it, Richard had a point.

Michael was super gorgeous with a body of a model, after that movie, he would surely get offers, would he turn them down? Most likely... not.

Her heart raced as her fingers clasped around her glass, did she make a mistake?

Richard laughed,

"Yeah, I totally forgot he's managing a company. But even if he wants to pursue it, it's not like you can do anything about it. You kiss other men in your movies too, or will you stop acting because of him?"

Diana swallowed,

They were dating now, what if he wasn't comfortable with her kissing other men on set?

He wasn't seeing anything wrong with her script now, because he was the one she was kissing, but what will happen after this movie?

No, she shouldn't be thinking so much. They would solve it when it got to that point.

"Yah! Richard, did you come here to make me feel better or worse?" Diana glared at him and he laughed,

"Sorry, don't mind me, aren't you going to have anything to eat?"

Diana shook her head, "I'm not hungry."

"Okay."

Richard nodded and filled his cup for the second time.

Diana knew what he wanted to talk to her about, and him beating about the bush was annoying her the more.

"Just say it already, stop staring at your wine as though there's something else fascinating about it."

She rolled her eyes as she folded her arms.

Richard smiled, "don't get me wrong, I really wanted to take you out, but I won't deny I also had this is mind."

"Go on."

Richard stared at her for a moment and then he sighed and sat up on his seat,

"All you have to do is tell them you approve of them, nothing more."

Diana shook her head, "that's the point, why tell them I do when I don't?"

Richard pinched his brows,

"I know they did wrong but I can't bear to see my mom hurt so much anymore. Even if she made a mistake, it wasn't totally her fault. Please let's just forgive them and let them be together."

Diana filled her cup and drank it to half empty, dropping it back on the table, she looked at Richard with a frown etched to her brows,

"what do you want me to do?"

"Forgive them."

"Okay, I forgive them." She replied, crossing her arms.

"Are we good now?"

"Um, you need to tell them to their faces." Richard scratched the back of his hair, and Diana laughed.

"you must be kidding me."

"Please, I'll do anything you say, please." Richard pleaded, holding her hand which was on the table.

Diana sighed. If she didn't do what he said, he wasn't going to let her be.

"5% of your shares."

Richard's lips fell open,

"what?"

"Oh, you don't want that? Should I leave?"

"no, no, I'll give it to you."

She smiled. "good. So when do you need me to do the acting?

"Um, tomorrow is fine."

"Okay, come pick me up when your ready."

Richard heaved a sigh of relief, then he looked at her,

"I can't believe you'll take my shares for this small favor."

Diana tilted her head, "tsk tsk, I should have just asked to be the chairman of your company, how about that?"

She glared at him and he stretched his lips into a smile,

"Thank you, Mademoiselle. "

Diana tilted her glass towards him,

"you're welcome."

"Babe, what are you doing?"

Diana texted Michael as she snuggled in bed about to sleep.

"Just took a shower, I have a slight headache, I want to sleep early."

Diana's brows creased with worry,

"Hope it's nothing serious? Did you take pain relievers?"

She texted quickly.

"No, it's nothing serious, it'll go away before morning."

"Okay, but still try to take some, before it gets worse and then you have to see a doctor."

"Yes, sweetheart. You're acting like a cute little wife right now."

Diana's cheeks reddened,

Even though he was joking, calling her wife made her heart flutter.

"Stop teasing me and go to bed."

"Okay, wish you were here so I could hug you."

Her eyes stared at the message and she gulped, she didn't even know what to say back.

"You're not feeling too well, stop typing. Goodnight."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, Goodnight."

Diana turned the phone over and stared at her ceiling as she thought silently.

He had said so many cute things to her but he had never told her the three letter words.
