(Nick)

What the f*ck?! How the hell did she know about my big bike? he asked himself.

He leaned against the headboard. He didn't usually get surprised that could make him lost for words but when he met Stacey very often her questions or comments left him speechless. And he had to really think deeply about a lot of things concerning her and their relationship. She had really changed him in many ways. Strange as it might seems, he was beginning to like it. She was actually a good influence. She had been very vocal that she didn't approve of how he spent his money. She sounded like a typical girlfriend or even a wife. He liked that very much. He knew she was may concerned about him.

"What?" he asked her with furrowed brows.

Stacey also sat on the bed.

"Sorry honey I went to the other room and opened your drawers. I saw your magazines and your motorcycle's key." she confessed and he raked his fingers through his hair. "Are you angry? I'm sorry honey." she apologized.

He should have been more careful. He didn't want to lock the study because he wanted her to feel that his unit was also hers. He blew some air through his mouth.

"No. It's okay. Consider my stuff as yours honey...among other things." he said.

He had to think of an excuse about the big bike. It would be too risky He was not yet ready to tell her about "Derick."

"So you saw the magazines?" he asked as he stared at her.

She also leaned like what he was doing. She had her eyes on him. She nodded. He framed her face.

"You don't know how happy I am that finally I have you here with me. You make me happy honey.." he kissed the tip of her nose.

"I know how crazy you are about me." she joked.

He chuckled then kissed the top of her head." If you only knew how obsessed I am with you." he thought.

"I didn't know that you have a big bike too. ." she commented.

His face became serious. "I haven't used it for a long time. Ronan is working on it. I wanted more accessories." he said.

He was actually telling the truth. That big bike was what "Derick" used. It was very memorable to him.

"So we can't use it tonight?" she sounded disappointed.

"I'm afraid not honey. Maybe next week. " he smiled a little and Stacey just shrugged her shoulders.

(Stacey)

She was really disappointed. She was excited to experience how it was to ride his motorbike with him. She felt safe when she was with Derick and she was sure that she would feel safer with Nick because of the care he had been showing her.

"Let's get ready...not unless you want to make love first?" he said with a naughty smile on his lips.

She smiled seductively at him. She touched his lips with her fingers." We can do that later. I might not be able to last from hunger. But a little petting won't hurt." Her voice was husky.

His eyes turned dark. He didn't waste any time. He drew her to him and kissed her deeply. His right hand was roaming on the upper part of her body. She also felt his chiseled body .Every touch was sending desire in their veins. When Nick felt that they had to stop before he could no longer control himself, he tore his lips from hers.

"You make me crazy about you day by day honey .So please try to understand if I have become more possessive."

"B-But honey.." she began to protest but he cut in.

"Eat a lot. You will need all the strength and energy you have later."

She just nodded. Being Nick Alcantara's woman had a lot of pros and cons.

Nick was still looking annoyed as he drove. While they were getting ready, she told him that she wanted to go to Eve's place to be a shoulder to cry on for her. "Honey please don't be like that." she pleaded.

"Just ask her to come over. I will leave you two alone. I will be in my study." he suggested with a frown.

She sighed heavily. "I don't think she would be comfortable if she knew that you were at home. Okay we will just go to the cafe near the condo. We won't be long." She couldn't blame him. He probably thought that Blake might come too.

"I give you my word honey. It will be just the two of us."

It took a while before he replied. They were almost at the steakhouse.

"I will call Ronan and tell him to finish your car tomorrow morning. If he can't, my driver will bring you to the cafe and wait for you." he said firmly and she just rolled her eyes. His mood became better when they started eating."How's the steak honey?" he asked.

"Good." she said before putting a piece in her mouth.

"They serve the best steak here. Well-aged." he smiled with satisfaction.

"Do you often eat here honey?" she asked as she drank her red wine.

She was positive that the meals cost an arm and a leg. Nick could afford to eat here as often as he wanted. He allowed her to have some wine because she was with him.

"I have been coming here for maybe five years now. I will bring you to all my favorite restaurants and places."

He took a sip of his wine .His eyes never leaving her face. She was making an effort to tone down her looks but it wasn't working. Nick looked around the place. He saw men glancing at her from time to time. He didn't like that at all.

"Finish your food honey. I want to go home now." She heard him say.

She looked at him with a frown. He was in a black mood again. She put her fork and knife down. She really had to say something about his mood swings.

"What's the hurry? And why do you look angry?"

He didn't answer .Instead he took his phone and checked it. His lips are set in a thin line.

She sighed. "Your being moody is really stressful honey."

His narrowed eyes went to her. "Can't you do something with your hair?" he suddenly asked.

His out of the blue question took her by surprise. Her hair was cascading down her back. She didn't know that Nick thought that it made her more attractive. "What? What's wrong with my hair?" she couldn't hide her annoyance.

He slid his phone in his pocket and raked his hand through his hair before gulping some booze.

SHIT! I am being a jerk again! he reprimanded himself.

He shook his head while he wrinkled his brows. "Forget it! Continue eating" he said curtly.

She just shook her head and toyed with her food.

"What time are you meeting Eve tomorrow?"

"After work. Around 6."

"You can leave the office around 1 PM so you can meet her earlier.. " he said casually.

"Honey, I have been absent for a few days already so I will get off the usual time."

"I am your boss so if I say you leave the office at 1 then just do it!" he said with finality.

"I don't want people there talking about us more! They might think that I am taking advantage of the situation because I am your girlfriend!"

Nick just raised his left brow. "You know my answer to that honey. You are my woman so get used to those kind of things. People will talk whether we like it or not so don't mind them." he said while giving a nonchalant shrug.

"Babe! Nice to see you here." a woman's voice said.

She could recognize that voice anywhere. She got back to her food and tried to ignore Tanya. She listened as they exchanged pleasantries. She heard one of the vacant chairs moved.

"Hi!" came Tanya's voice again.

"Honey." Nick called her.

She has no choice but to look up from her steak. She swallowed the meat in her mouth then wiped her lips with the napkin. She said a cold hello.

By the looks of it, tonight might be the first time she will be in a cat fight. The other woman is wearing a very revealing red mini-dress. Her smile looks really fake just like the rest of her. She could feel Nick's eyes are on her but she didn't turn to him. She didn't want to take her eyes off Tanya.

"I want to apologize for what happened last time. I think I offended you."Tanya said in a sugary voice.

She also flashed a fake smile. "That's okay. Nick explained everything to me already." She glanced at her man and his lips broke into a sexy smile.

"Have you been here long babe?" Tanya asked him.

Nick frowned before nodding.

"Tanya?"she called the b*tch who was drooling over her man. Both of them looked at her. "Stop calling my boyfriend, babe! I don't like it! And it's inappropriate. People might think that he is a two-timer. Do you agree with me honey? " her voice was a bit husky.

Nick nodded. He looks pleased that she was being territorial like him. She heard Tanya sighed but she just said okay.

That was easy! She thought.

"Can I order some food? I am starving!" the other woman told Nick and he just nodded.

She almost gritted her teeth. She didn't expect him to let this whore eat with them. She would deal with him later. She suppressed her annoyance as she picked her fork and knife again and began slicing her meat. She was imagining her steak to be Tanya's neck. She tried to ignore them as they talk. Then she felt a movement under the table and her heart thumped. She purposely dropped her napkin. When she picked it up, she saw Tanya's foot going up Nick's leg.

She straightened and saw Nick frowning and Tanya is looking at the menu with a knowing smile on her face. She gritted her teeth.

This is war! she told herself.☐☐☐☐☐
