His Beautiful Addiction

"We're traveling again?"

Tiana asked as she stared at Claire and Vera, her new manager.

"Not we, you and your manager, but it's not very far, just San Francisco and you'll be staying for three days, or more depending on you. All expenses paid."

Claire winked at her but Tiana wasn't very excited. She has not forgotten what happened the last time she traveled. And Nicklaus might not want it this time.

"Vera can you give us a minute alone?"

She asked and Vera nodded, standing up and leaving, Tiana did not start talking until she heard the door close.

"I don't think Nicklaus would be happy about it."

Tiana said, although this was the highest paying offer with the highest exposure she might have to reject it. Nicklaus wouldn't want her being away for three days and now when she wasn't going with Claire or Leo.

"Um," Claire laughed,

"I don't understand, are you a house wife or a model? You have to choose what you want to do. If you want to be housewife, fine, there's no problem, quit this and face your husband fully and start rearing children. But if you want to be a model, trust me sacrifices has to be made. It's not about the money, its about the exposure, more exposure means more jobs.

And trust me, Nicklaus wouldn't prevent you from leaving, you just don't want to leave."

Tiana laughed, "maybe, but I don't want to leave him alone for three days!"

Claire laughed, "Lord, you're such a baby, so how are you going to survive when he goes for long trips? Or will you follow him too?"

Tiana pouted, "maybe."

Claire couldn't help laughing the more.

She was so funny.

"Okay, if you don't want to go, you can leave it, there are a lot of models waiting for his opportunity."

"Don't worry, I'll go.".

Tiana smiled faintly. Although her husband had all the money in the world, she still wanted to make her own money and build her name apart from him, so she wasn't turning this down.

"Good, that's the Tiana I know, Vera!"

Claire called and Vera walked back in,

"Follow the process and help sign the necessary papers. You both are leaving in three days time."

"three days?!"

Tiana's lips dropped,

"trust me, you should have left tomorrow."

…

Tiana stared at the document in her hand as she wondered how to break the news to Nicklaus.

Although she wanted to go, if he didn't want her to, she wouldn't mind staying back at all.

When she got home. He just finished taking a shower. When Nicklaus saw her, he walked to her and kissed her chin,

"You look tired."

Tiana pouted, "Today was a little stressful."

"Do you want to quit?"

"No, not at all!" she shook her head instantly. Whenever she complained, his first question was always if she wanted to quit. He didn't like her to be stressed at all, how would she now bring this up?

"Okay," Nicklaus said and kissed her lips before walking around her to the dressing table.

Tiana turned and followed him,

"Go and shower so we can have dinner."

Nicklaus said and she nodded, but did not move.

After sometime he turned to look at her,

"what's wrong?" he asked looking concerned, whenever she was like that, there was definitely a problem.

"I have something to tell you," she said with a pouty face,

Nicklaus stopped,

"Is it a bad or a good thing?"

"I don't know… a mixture of both."

"Alright then, shower first, I have something to discuss too, we'll talk over meals."

Tiana nodded and rushed off to shower.

When she came out, she wore a sexy nightie without anything underneath.

Packing her hair up, exposing her white clear skin she walked to where he lay in the large couch in their room. Maybe if she seduced him, he might let her leave. 

"Let's eat."

She said with a cute voice. Nicklaus' eyes remained on her body for a second before he stood up and followed her out.

Tiana opened the dishes and served him his food.

She watched him eat for a few seconds before she started eating.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?"

Tiana swallowed the piece of meat in her mouth.

"You go first, you said you wanted to talk to me about to something."

"Yeah," Nicklaus stopped eating,

"Beautiful, I have to leave the country for a few days, you know I've been off for a while now and a lot of work have piled up, some meetings which should have been held here were rescheduled and I'll have to go to their countries, it's only for a few days, I'll come back home as soon as I can…"

Nicklaus stopped talking when he noticed she was smiling,

"which country?" she asked, 

"China."

"How many days will you be staying?"

" a week at most."

"when will you leave?"

Nicklaus was surprised at her question bombardment and the grin on her lips, but he still replied.

"In three days."

Tiana laughed joyfully.

"Thank Goodness, I was so scared of telling you I got modeling contract that'll involve me going to San Francisco for some shoots, but hearing you'll also be traveling, I'm so relieved."

Nicklaus chuckled,

"Is that why you're so happy?"

"Yes! Cause I wanted to go but I wasn't sure you'll support it."

Nicklaus creased his brows worriedly,

"You think I won't let you do what you love?''

Nicklaus asked,

"No, it's not it…"

"Tiana, I'm always asking about your work because I care and I love you very much not because I want to stop you. As long as you're happy and doing what makes you happy I would never stop you, okay?"

Tiana nodded and he caressed her chin lovingly.

"So when are you going?"

"In three days and I'll be staying for three days."

"Oh, that means you'll be home before I return?"

Tiana nodded.

"That's good. Just don't miss me too much.".

"Nah, I won't, I have a lot of work now, I won't have time to miss you."

Nicklaus smiled,

"don't come crying that you want me to come back home."

"Never I won't do that, I can survive without you."

Nicklaus laughed, "Okay, eat up, your food is getting cold."

Tiana smiled and dug into her food.
