His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 57

"What?!" exclaimed Stacey and Nick just sighed heavily.

"Let's go honey. We can talk later." he said as Billy waved at them.

"NO! I won't live with you Nick!"

"We are not going to discuss this here honey." he said with finality.He pulled her by holding her hand.

They sat on the back while Billy is on the driver's seat. She then thought that he was probably right.

She can't have Billy hear what she wanted to tell him so she just sat in silence. Several times Nick

attempted to take her hand but she got it back. She finally gave in when he didn't stop trying.

The two men talked about trivial things. Billy tried to have a small talk with her too but Nick said he

better focus on the road and stop looking at her through the rear view mirror. Billy just chuckled while

she threw Nick a glare which the latter just ignored. She shook her head and sighed before turning her

head to the view outside the window. She is thinking about what might happen after tonight.

Living with him is triggering her migraine. It is already difficult for her to fight her feelings for him and

being in a condo with him will make things even worse . A lot of things happened in a span of a few

weeks and there is a good chance that she can survive this situation .

Good luck on your new life.--she told herself.

She felt jittery when they dropped Billy off at his unit.

Now it's just the two of them in the car.The song Rush,Rush by Paula Abdul is playing on the radio.

She couldn't explain her feelings. She feels happy, nervous and excited. She dreamed of being in this

scenario. Having someone sitting next to you and you having a strong feeling that he will be with you

through thick and thin. Someone who will bear with you though you keep on fighting your own feelings

for him. What Nick said to her mother and sister showed that Nick can really take good care of a

woman. A boyfriend material minus his PTEF's (Pink Taco's Extreme Fantasy) image of course . She

just wished that if they become a couple he will be a one- woman man.

"Do you want to dine out honey?" he suddenly asked.

She checked the time. It's past 9 PM. From NôvelDrama.Org.

" I am not really hungry. Are you?" she asked him.

He seemed to be thinking carefully while his eyes are on the road.

"I'd rather eat something at home.Can you cook honey?" he asked with a smile while he threw her a

glance.

She chewed her bottom lip. "I can whip up something if you want. Aren't you a fussy eater?"

He shook his head . " Nope. I can't wait to taste your cooking."

She tore her eyes from him to look at the windshield to hide her smile. As usual, he looks so damn

sexy with that grin of his.

They sound like a couple...she likes that thought. Maybe just for tonight, she will enjoy the feeling and

moment.

The condo they went to is not the same one she saw before. She is curious but she doesn't want to ask

him how many units he owns. This one is bigger and it also has a very beautiful view outside the

window. It's on a higher floor. It has a moderate size kitchen.

"Let's bring your things in the bedroom honey." he said as he carried her bags.

She followed him but she frowned when she saw that the room they entered looks like the master's

bedroom. The walls are dark blue. There is a big bed at the center and a small door on the right side.

There is even a small living room and probably a 75 inches tv on the wall. The blinds covering the

windows and the sliding door leading to the balcony are a lighter shade of blue.

"Honey, you can use this drawer right here and this closet."Nick pointed to the closets.

"And this is the bathroom.." he opened the small door and turned on the light, "..in case you want to

freshen up first."

She frowned. "Nick.."

"This one is the balcony." he then opened the blinds to show her the outside. "Later we can have coffee

while we view the stars."

"Go freshen up honey.I am starving." He said while he takes off his shirt.

Stacey swallowed when she saw his to-die for body once again.

He took a white shirt and boxer shorts inside one of the closets .

"Use the bathroom here. I will be using the one outside." He added

"Wait! Nick! This is your room right? I can't sleep here with you!"

He looked at her with a poker face.

"There are only two rooms here. The other one I use as an office. I will be worried if you will live alone

in one of my units alone so I want you to live here with me. Don't worry. I will sleep on the couch in the

living room if that will make you feel better." he said in a neutral tone before going out.

Stacey just sighed. She just have to be thankful that he is concerned about her though she can't hide

the fact that sooner or later, the people in his office will talk about them once they find out about their

living arrangement. Then shrugging her shoulders, she decided to take a quick shower too . She just

has to stop worrying about that now.

You are in fact an adult Stacey. Why not start being like Nick who doesn't give a damn about what other

people think? It's your life and you are not doing anything wrong..you are both single.Just chill. This is a

new life remember? She asked herself.

She is regretful though for having body-hugging sleepwear. She has to get new ones especially now

that she and her boss are living under the same roof. Her hair is up in a messy ponytail. She has a red

sleeveless body fit top and white cotton shorts which show her creamy and smooth thighs. She doesn't

need any house slippers because the unit has a wall-to-wall carpet .She also noticed that Nick walks

barefoot indoors. At least he has some habits which are typical of ordinary men .She released a sigh

again and with one final look at herself in the bathroom mirror, she went out.

Nick is in the kitchen drinking water . He grinned when he saw her.

"Ready to cook something honey?" he asked.

He seems to like blue because the kitchen is dominated by that color . It has the basics like a fridge,a

hub stove with a small oven. The shelves have some canned goods and instant noodles.

"You can check the contents of the freezer and fridge. You can cook whatever you want. I will just sit

here while I watch you." he joked.

He pulled a chair and sat down on the four- seater table next to the kitchen.

She tried very hard to ignore him .She feels that as usual, he is running his eyes over her.

"Can you get me a can of beer honey?" he requested and she just nodded.

She took some eggs and milk. She saw a medium -sized pack of mushroom.

"Is omelet okay with you? It is a bit late so a light meal is better." she said.

She put all the ingredients down on the kitchen counter before going back to the fridge to get his beer.

"That's fine honey." he flashed his panty-wrecking smile as he got the beer from her. He took hold of

her hand . Stacey tried to take it back but he doesn't want to let go.

She rolled her eyes before saying, " You said you were starving so let me cook."

He chuckled but released her.

While she cooked, Nick never removed his eyes from her but she did her best to look unaffected.

"That's the best omelet I ever had honey." he complimented while still at the table.

"Stop flattering me Nick." she commented as she finished washing the dishes and pan. He offered to

help but she refused.

She wiped her hands with a paper towel when she was done. "Do you want coffee now?"

Nick stood up,"I will do that honey." he said as he got coffee beans from the cabinet.

"Are you sure?"

He beamed at her," I know how to turn on the coffee maker honey."

Instead of having coffee in the balcony they decided to stay in the living room. He is seated on the long

sofa. Nick asked her to come closer to him.

"I want us to feel comfortable. Let's snuggle." he suggested.

She hates to admit it but she also wants to be near him. After what happened at her house a few hours

ago, she feels that he is really her knight and shining armor. "Okay . But we will just sit next to each

other...nothing else."

He chuckled but nodded then she sat down. He patted the space beside him.

"Closer honey." he demanded but in a husky voice.

She moved near him .

"Lean your head on my shoulder." he added.

She did.

He put his arm on her shoulder and inhaled her hair.

"This is how I imagined my nights since I met you. Sitting here with you and cuddling up." he murmured

as if to himself.

She closed her eyes .It feels so good being like this with him.They just sat there without talking. They

both seem to be savoring being together in such a cozy place.

"I think we should call it a night. We have to be up early tomorrow." she suggested after several

minutes.She's starting to feel sleepy.

"Let's get married honey." Nick said all of a sudden.
