His Beautiful Addiction

''Thank you, grandma '' Tiana smiled, but what was in her mind was the exact opposite.

Welcome home indeed! Who needs welcoming? She would even prefer to sleep in the dog's pen than to sleep with him in the same room.

God! How would she survive this!

She mentally rolled her eyes.

''Okay hurry and freshen up, I'll send someone to call you when dinner is ready ''

Grandma said and Nicklaus led Tiana upstairs, his hands still around her waists.

When they had gone up halfway, she noticed that Nicklaus arm was still around her waist and she turned to know if anyone was around, when she saw that no-one was in sight, she quickly made to take off his hands but the words that came out of his lips, nearly caused her a nosebleed.

''From now onwards, I want you to always be close to me, do you understand? ''

Her eyes instantly turned to him; they were bulging too much that it felt like they would pop any second.

''Wh… what? ''

She asked; not able to understand what was going on. What did he mean by her being close to him; did he understand what he just spurted?

It wasn't enough that she would pretend to be a loving girlfriend for two weeks. Now she won't even have breathing space?

What was his aim?

Tiana asked herself a million questions with no answers forthcoming.

Nicklaus did not speak, he just pushed open their room door and stepped in; when they were inside, Tiana turned to him, not caring to even look around the room;

''I… I don't understand what you just said. ''

She said, raising her voice a little. Nicklaus did not still answer her; he walked casually to the bedside and pulled his tie from his neck, throwing it across the bed.

Tiana's chest was rising and falling heavily. Her anger was almost at its limit. She folded her palms into fists as her long fingers dug into her skin.

''You know you can't make me do that. '' Her voice was not loud, but it bore grave annoyance within.

Nicklaus turned to her; his gaze remained on her for a moment before he raised his hands to his shirt and began undoing his buttons.

''I hope you watch your words before you say them, beautiful. ''

He said with a smirk on his lips. Tiana chuckled derisively;

''Beautiful? Who gave you the right to call me that? '' She gazed at him with utter contempt,

Nicklaus chuckled;

''What? You're my mistress, I can call you whatever I want. ''

He pulled his shirt from his body and dropped it on the bed; turning to her with a smirk, he continued;

''You should adjust to seeing my face and not riling up in anger, i think we both know what could happen when I'm bored. ''

Tiana's eyes glared ferociously at him as she realized how weak she was against him.

She closed her eyes briefly and took in a deep breath. He was really pushing her to the edge. She didn't know if she'll be able to hold back for long. She sucked her lower lip bitterly as she slowly opened her eyes, and they locked in Nicklaus'.

'' I really hate you Nicklaus; I don't think I have told you that. Don't worry, I value my sister's life, you need not threaten me, I'll do whatever you wish until I can save her from your deadly grip. ''

The smirk on Nicklaus' lips disappeared instantly as her words hit him like a bomb. He stood speechless as he gazed at her shaky body standing in front of him.

Does she detest him that much?

Although he had threatened her a little, he didn't know it would rile her up so much. This was the first time she had talked back at him, the first time she had opened up about her feelings for him. She must be holding it all it and it must be eating her up inside.

He wished he could give her relief, but the only relief that she wanted was something he couldn't give. She wanted to be free from him, but that was no longer possible.

Tiana didn't want to cry for him anymore, she had vowed never to; she took in deep breaths to calm herself. When she felt her nerves calm down, she dragged her feet to a nearby couch and lay down.

Nicklaus watched her lie on the couch dejectedly and he had the urge to take back what he said earlier, but he stopped himself. He already said it. There was no need to go back on it again. Besides, he would really love to have her by his side all the time.

He watched her briefly and then he shifted his gaze to the bed, his eyes flashed across something and he quickly pulled his eyes to the wall above the bed.

What the hell happened here?

Nicklaus just noticed that the adjustments Grandma talked about involved turning his room upside down.

The paintings of his room were white and black and the furniture too; but what he was seeing here was shocking;

Grandma had painted his room milk and replaced all the furniture and curtains; she even changed the quilt to pink… for goodness' sake, pink!! He barely slept with white and black, now talk of all these bright colors, he won't even get a single day of sleep.

He groaned angrily and put his shirt back on, storming downstairs.
