His Lovely Obsession (English)
Chapter 49

An angry Heather came out of the car. She is looking daggers at her.

Uh-oh..I guess my sister can't hide her annoyance this time.-Stacey thought.

Before, her half sister tried to mask her feelings. She didn't want Nick to see how evil she can be with her. Probably, seeing her with Nick while he holds her arm and they look like a couple having a lover's quarrel really burned her up..

Nick didn't release her. He is just looking at Heather with furrowed brows.

"And what is this? Don't you realize that you are at the middle of the street?" Heather asked with a trace of irritation in her voice.

"It's none of your business. Your sister and I are settling things." Nick replied as he pulled Stacey to his car.

"Nick!" Stacey protested.

"Lovey!" Heather called.

"Where are we going? I said that I don't...." she stopped what she was about to say when Nick turned angrily to her.

Heather moved towards them with her eyes spitting fire.

"Don't worry, we are okay. We have nothing to talk about. I will keep in mind what you said. There won't be a repeat of what happened. I am just really tired. Let's just talk tomorrow please." she pleaded. She needs to pacify him as usual. Obviously he is very mad because of Blake. She is hoping that he won't force her to get in his car. Heather is already very angry and she doesn't want to add fuel to the fire. She knows that her half-sister will not let this pass. She will definitely be really bitchy once they become alone. She heard her made an unpleasant sound at the back of her throat but chose not to look at her. She knows that she is glowering at her.

Nick on one hand is trying to absorb what Stacey just said.

Chill Alcantara. You heard her. There won't be a repeat of what happened and you and her are okay. If you want her to fall for you, then simmer down. Control your fucking jealousy and temper! He advised himself.

"Lovey!" Heather called and went closer to Nick to touch his arm.

Stacey tried to free her arm but Nick doesn't want to let go. He turned to Heather and was about to say something but Stacey suddenly said, "Sir, I'm really sorry. I promise I will finish everything tomorrow. With a furrowed brow, Nick looked at her again. Stacey tried to plead with him with her eyes. He can't let her half-sister know what is really going on. She almost sighed in relief when he finally released her arm before giving a curt nod.

Nick feels that Stacey doesn't want to have a rift with her sister and he understands that. He doesn't want his woman to be in a difficult situation but he has no choice so the least he could do is not force what he wants tonight. He will let the sisters have a heart-to-heart talk. It is better if Stacey tells Heather about their situation. It mustn't come from him. But whether Heather likes it or not, she has to accept everything. Stacey bit her bottom lip when Heather asked Nick, "Lovey, can we talk?"

She doesn't want to hear what they are going to talk about so she excused herself. She made exactly four steps when she heard Nick.

"Stacey! I will pick you up tomorrow at 7 AM."

She just nodded her head. She is glad that he didn't call her honey. He may have gotten the picture. Her half-sister is jealous and pissed because of what she had seen and fueling her anger will be worse. She almost shook her head. This situation is really messy because her sister wants Nick too.

***

She locked her door and leaned on it. She is wishing that Heather will not confront her after her talk with Nick. A lot of things happened tonight and she feels drained.

She took off Nick's jacket and smelled it. She closed her eyes when she inhaled his wonderful scent. She is giddy. She only felt this way with Derick before. But after she became intimate with Nick, he now has a greater effect on her. One reason might be because she saw his face while they were making out. She can vividly remember the expression on Nick's handsome face and the way his eyes darkened while he made passionate love to her. She felt desired and wanted. But.....

She sighed.

She has to keep her stand. She has greater feelings for Nick but she is still going to choose Derick if he will finally let her see his face on Friday.

If she will not choose Nick, he can easily get over it. His ego will be hurt but soon he can forget her unlike Derick. Nick has a lot of women who are more than willing to be his but Derick only has her. "Oh God!" she mumbled and closed her eyes.

Her mind and heart are really a mess. A lot of negative thoughts are running in her head again.

Nick's way of showing how much he wants her is very intense just because he hadn't had her yet completely. However hard she tries to forget what Tanya said, her words keep coming back. Nick will only fuck her once. Should she dare take a risk? She has stronger feelings for him now and she can be shattered to pieces once he gets tired of her. She is still just Stacey Ledesma. Nothing special about her. Nick is used to more than just ordinary women.

She groaned and shook her head before inhaling his jacket again. Then she bit her bottom lip when she remembered her brassiere. She used Jadore by Dior this morning and Nick liked how she smelled. Is he going to sniff it too like what she is doing to his jacket?

She released a light laugh with that thought. She walked to her closet to get a hanger for his jacket. She remembered that she has to call Derick. She dialed his number but it just kept on ringing. With a heavy sigh, she decided to take a shower and call him back later.

It was such a relief that after her shower, there was still no sign of Heather.

At least I can have a peaceful time before going to bed. I don't want to have a nightmare.-she thought as she smiled to herself.

She laid on her bed after reaching for her phone which is on her bedside table. She frowned when she didn't see any miscall or text message from Derick. She felt it is a little strange and now she is worried about him. She hopes that nothing bad happened to him. She was about to call him when she saw Nick's number flashing on the screen.

She thought of not taking his call but she changed her mind. She is just human after all. It's really hard to resist him.

"Hello." she answered. She didn't intend to sound husky but her voice seemed sexier.

"Honey..." He sounds breathy like he just finished working out.

Her imagination is getting wild again. She is imagining him only in his briefs or boxer shorts and his body is glistening with sweat.

She scolded herself and instead asked in her normal voice, "Why did you call?"

"I want to sleep like a log from now on so I will call you every night to say good night." he drawled.

She bit her bottom lip to suppress a smile. Nick is making it more difficult for her to control her feelings for him.

"Are you sure that you had never wooed anyone before?" she asked.

His quiet laugh sounded so sexy that she grasped her bed cover. Being in bed while talking to him brings back all the things they did in his unit and much as she wants to deny it, she feels wet a little frisky. She closed her eyes and thought about the women he bedded once.

How did they feel after a heated lovemaking with him? He is a wonderful lover and the thought of being possessed by him once is somehow unimaginable. It's like experiencing heaven only one time. Reality check.

That is going to happen to her. She is going to feel that.

What he said before came rushing in.

"You'd be surprised on what I can and I am willing to do just to make you mine."

She opened her eyes and creased her brow.

"I haven't wooed anyone honey. You'll be the first."

"I replace that hard to believe. You have a way with words. Just like now. But I don't think I should be taken by what you are saying. " she said in a cold voice.

(Nick)

He frowned and got up from his bed. She sounded okay a few moments ago and now she seems annoyed with him.

He flexed the muscles of his shoulders and neck. She is making him all tensed up. He had just finished three sets of push-ups after his cold shower because thoughts of her are really giving him a boner. He is not into wanking just to pleasure himself but even a cold shower is not enough for him.

Seems like she is going to give me a hard time wooing her but have patience Alcantara. Women are really fickle-minded. Get used to it. She is after all, going to be yours. He consoled himself.

"Honey? I thought we are okay. Why do you sound angry?" he asked.

He heard her sighed.

"What do you understand by okay? Maybe we are not on the same page." She said in a flat tone.

"Can you please explain to me what you mean by okay then?" he asked through gritted teeth.

There was a short silence before she spoke again. "I have done some thinking before you called."

Nick tugged on his hair as he controls getting pissed himself .He has a gut feeling that what she's about to say is something that will really displease him.

"Go on honey. Explain to me what you mean by okay." he asked icily.

"We are okay as a boss and an employee so there won't be a repeat of what happened to us a few hours ago. It suddenly dawned on me that if we become a couple, it's going to be too complicated. I am having second thoughts about us." she said.

She has her hand on her chest. She is angry with herself. A big part of her wants to give Nick a chance but doubts and insecurities are bewildering her. She is really confused. The moment Nick heard what she said, he cursed furiously and kicked his bed repeatedly.

She bit her bottom lip and hang up before she started crying.00000
