His Lovely Obsession (English)
Chapter 71

(Nick)

He is sitting on his chair. He was done signing documents his secretary brought. He balled his hands when he remembered his conversation with Tyler at his assistant's office a few hours ago. (flashback)

He grabbed him by the collar when the door was closed.

"You *sshole! Didn't I give you what car you wanted?! Why the f*ck were you talking to her?!" He asked furiously. His face is red from anger.

"After seeing Stacey today, I realized I can't accept the car.." Tyler didn't finish what he was saying.

He punched him on the face. He was trying to control his rage. He couldn't really injure him physically because people outside would see the state he would be in, if he beat him up. He would do it one of these days but not today.

"Don't give me that b*llshit Cordero! I had you investigated! You are in deep shit because of your addiction to gambling! You may like Stacey but I am f*cking sure you won't refuse the car because you would sell it to pay your debts! You would have more than enough with that car! I could easily ruin you but I didn't because I feel sorry for you! I know one of the people you borrowed money from! He can be very crue so the best thing you could do to save your *ss is pay him as soon as possible! Stop gambling before you completely ruin your pathetic life! Take the car! Next time I see you near Stacey..I will f*cking strangle you with my bare hands!"

(end of flashback)

Then he remembered that his woman was supposed to meet "Derick" today. He decided as Derick to just vanished. Anyway, he got what he wanted already. He had proven that Stacey loves him as Nick. He wanted her to meet his family first before he confessed to her. He would tell her the truth but not just yet. Tomorrow his family would be back from their trip overseas. He would bring her to his parents' home. He smiled and dialed her number. He already missed her. He would finish signing the second batch of papers then he would come home to her.

He furrowed his brows when she didn't pick up. Maybe she was still napping so he kust sent her a message.

Honey, we'll dine outside. I'll be home in less than an hour. Wear something casual.

(Stacey)

She just got back to Nick's room when she heard her phone's message alert tone. He called her once and he left her a message. She sat on the edge of the bed and read his text message. Then sighing she bit her bottom lip.

She was hesitant to ask him things about him but fortunately or unfortunately, it seems that every day she was discovering something. If she didn't see the key, probably she wouldn't know that he was also into big bikes aside from cars. He and Derick had similarities. They even like the same big bike maker. She knew how expensive those monsters on the road were.

Did she subconsciously liked Nick because he reminded her of Derick in some ways?

She was being unfair to Nick because she was still thinking of Derick. She couldn't seem to stop remembering him. Even Nick's big bike's key reminded her of Derick. It could be because he took her virginity. But come to think of it, was that the reason why Nick was so possessive and jealous? He wasn't her first and he was worried that she would leave him for Derick.

The sound of her cell phone broke her thoughts.

"Eve! I was about to call you!" she happily told her friend.

"Girlfriend II called because I wanted someone to talk to." Eve's voice sounded sad.

"What is it? You know you can tell me anything."

"It's about Blake. He broke up with Kristel because he had been hearing rumors that she was having an affair with a pilot.

"What?" She didn't expect that because she knew Blake's relationship with his girlfriend would end up in marriage soon.

"But what angers me is that b*tch got the nerve to say that it was Blake who was two timing her. Her mother told her about seeing us at the seafood restaurant and she accused Blake of cheating her with you!" She groaned in frustration. Her temples are throbbing. The medicine's effect waned because of what Eve said. She said sorry and goodbye to her friend.

She closed the blinds and lied on the bed.

Nick frowned when he opened the bedroom's door. The room was in total darkness. It's barely 4 PM. He switched on the lights but Stacey moaned.

"Honey? Are you okay?" he worriedly asked. He saw her lying on the bed with her hands covering her eyes.

"Please switch off the lights.." her voice was in agony.

He quickly did what she requested and sat on the edge of the bed to hold her hand.

"Honey, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly.

"I have migraine attack. I can't tolerate brightness."

"Shit!" Nick cursed but in a small voice. He really can't bear seeing her in pain. He kissed her forehead.

"Do you want me to call a doctor?"

She shook her head. "I'll be okay later. I took some pain killer."

"Okay. I'll lie next to you.." he said.

Nick stood up to take off his clothes. He was just in his white briefs.

"Is the temperature of the room okay honey? Or do you want me to adjust the thermostat?" he asked as he slid on the bed next to her. He wrapped her in his arms kissed the side of her face. "It's okay." she whispered.

"Take a nap honey. I won't leave you. " he whispered.

She nestled her face against his neck. Nick kissed the top of her head.

She woke up when she felt someone is kissing her neck.

"Hmmmm" she moaned.

"Honey.." Nick whispered against her skin ."Are you feeling better?" He stopped kissing her neck.

"Yes." she said huskily. "You can turn the lampshade on if you want." She wants to see his handsome face.

He reached for it and the yellow light brightened the room a little. He smiled at her before showering her lips with kisses.

"Hmmm..what... time... is it... honey?" she asked in between his kisses.

"It's past 6. Are you hungry?" he asked and she nodded.

He sighed before pulling her to him. He his tightly hugging her.

"I don't like seeing you in pain honey .Do you often have migraine attacks?" he asked.

"Yes specially when I am stressed or when the weather is fickle."

Nick put a small distance between them so he could see her lovely face clearly." The weather is fine so you must be stressed. What brought about your stress? We were okay when I left you hours ago." He looked puzzled.

She moistened her lips. She couldn't tell him about Blake.

"Honey?" he sounds impatient.

"Most of the times I can't seem to understand you. You are so moody honey."

He sighed heavily. "Honey you know why I get pissed."

She released a small smile. He flashed a smile too. He tucked some of her hair behind her right ear.

"I badly want to make love to you but you have to eat. So do you want to dine out? Or do you want me to whip up something?"

"I want to eat out honey." she answered while running her finger on his jaw with stubble.

This close, Nick is more extremely good-looking. She swallowed a moan.

He grinned. "Why are you looking at me like that honey? Are you falling harder for me?"

She playfully pinched his cheek. "Conceited!"

He gave her a peck on the lips. "So what do you want to eat honey?" he asked.

"I want steak." she said.

"Okay. I will bring you to my favorite steakhouse.

"Thanks honey. But can I make a request?"

He cupped her face and kissed the top of her nose.

"Anything honey. What is it?" he asked.

She chewed the bottom of her lip. "Can we use your big bike tonight?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
