His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 58

Stacey removed her head on his shoulder.

"Are you serious?!!" she asked in a shrill voice.Her eyes wide open.

He looks cool as a cucumber as he grins at her.

"I have never been more serious honey." he said in a hoarse voice.

"Are you completely out of your mind? FYI! We aren't even a couple to begin with!" she said as she

gawks at him.

Gosh! Is he on drugs or something? She asked herself.

" I am crazy about you and I will go out of my mind if I will lose you." he sounded serious.

She put her hand on her chest. The way he said that made her heart beat very fast. She feels giddy

though very much surprised. She got up from the couch and as if in a trance, walked to the middle of

the living room.

She doesn't know whether to cry or laugh hysterically . She feels happy, shocked but a bit sorry too.

"Honey?" Nick's voice has a hint of worry. He also stood up to go to her.

When she felt he moved, she stepped farther to the room before turning around to look at him.

She motioned for him to stop moving towards her.

"No Nick! Please don't come any closer." her voice sounded weak.

She saw him frown but he stood completely still.

"You don't have to give an answer immediately honey. I'll give you time to think. But I am dead serious.

I want us to get married." he said while he looks at her intently.

"But why?" she asked in a small voice.

She wanted to scold herself. Does she really want to hear his reason? Wouldn't that be harder for her?

"What do you mean why?" his forehead creased.

She walked towards the window. She stared at the lights on the street. "Nothing. Forget my question."

she murmured without looking at him.

He came closer but he didn't touch her. He also looked out the window.

"It's late at night but the life in the city is just beginning. Look at those lights.See how they brighten

everything?" he asked as if to himself. "Without those beautiful lights , the whole place will be Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

gloomy..lifeless.." he added.

He turned to face her.His hands still not touching her.His eyes drinking in her lovely face.

She's having goose bumps again. Slowly she also looked at him as she embraced herself.

"Just like me...it took me 30 years to find the beautiful light to make me feel alive.I thought living means

being successful in business and being able to have all the things that money can buy....until I met

you."

Stacey felt her throat became suddenly dry. She is speechless.

"I have never imagined that I will be saying this...but now that I have you here..I have the sudden

desire to let you know what and how I feel. I always call this..." His eyes roamed around his condo,"

..just my unit...my crib. But now that you are here, I want to call it home."

This time he touched her.He took her hands. He kissed both of her palms alternately.

"My world will be dark and hollow ....my life will have no purpose without you now, honey.." he said

hoarsely.

Holding her hand in his,he raised them to rub the right side of his face with her left palm.

Stacey closed her eyes.Her emotions are going wild with what he just said. He took her breath away.

She wants to pour her feelings too but now is not the right time.

After everything he said and did for her, especially tonight, she would be the most stupid woman in the

world if she will let him slip away. But she grew up always having to think of other people first before

herself. Multiple times she had to forget her own happiness.

She wants to be with Nick but Derick needs her more.

Derick has been probably hurt many times which brought about his insecurities .Maybe that's the

reason why he doesn't want her to see him yet. And she gave him her word that she doesn't care how

he looks like.

If she will choose Nick, she feels that Derick will really be broken..shattered...

Nick can easily get over her if she turns him down...unlike Derick..

She got her hand from him.

"Nick..."

"As I've said, I will give you time honey. I can wait. The most important thing is you are already with me

and I will never let you go ..remember that."

It sounded like a threat more than a promise.But Stacey isn't scared. What he said gave her a warm

feeling.bShe badly wants to tell him that she loves him but there will be no turning back once she said

those three words.

She has to constantly think of Derick now. The best thing she can do is try to contact him again later.

"Tomorrow I want you to meet my family." he added all of a sudden.

"NO!"

His face broke into a heavy frown. "What do you mean no? I haven't introduced any woman to my

family. You are going to be the first. " his voice sounded chilly.

She ran the tip of her tongue on her lips. "I mean....it's too soon. ." she whispered.

His eyes turned into slits. "I told you that I am giving you time to think about marriage but that doesn't

mean that I will take no, for an answer." he said through thin lips.

"W-What?" she asked nervously.

Nick's arrogant self is back because he can't help it.His woman needs to know that she is going to get

married to him sooner or later.

"B-But you don't even love me. What will you tell your parents if they ask why you are marrying me?"

Stacey asked with a confused tone.

She wants to hear him say he loves her. Deep inside she wants to know if the feeling is mutual .Though

they will probably not end up together, at least she'll be happy if he will say that he loves her.

Nick frowned deeper. What exactly does he feel for her? He hasn't been in-love before so he has no

clue about love.

What he knows is, he constantly thinks about her. He always has a desire to make love to her.He wants

her to be the last person he sees before he sleeps. The first person he touches and looks at when he

wakes up. Her smell and taste haunt him. He can't bear the thought of other men wanting her in any

way.He will badly hurt anyone who will dare show any interest in her. With his money, he can do very

bad things to assholes who will desire what's his.

Fucking hell! Is this love or obsession?He asked himself.

Stacey has been holding her breath as she awaits his answer. Nick tore his eyes from her then turned

to his left to look out the window.

She bit her bottom lip as anticipation builds inside her.

It's okay if he doesn't love me.I'm fine with that . The concern and his desire for me are more than

enough..--she consoled herself.

She doesn't have the right to expect him to say he loves her too. She is being unfair because though

she has strong feelings for him, she can't say she loves him.

She is one crazy woman. She expects so damn much. She's not even sure if Nick deserves her.

She stopped looking at his right profile. He looks serious. Her eyes went back to the window too.

They just stood side by side without talking for a few moments.

An ambulance passed by. For several seconds, the sound of the siren broke the silence.

"If they will ask me why I am marrying you.. I will honestly say what I feel..." Nick said as he crossed his

arms on his chest.

"What?" she asked almost like she's talking to herself.

She turned to him and his eyes went to her too.

" I am marrying you because I feel and I know that you are the one for me." he said without blinking.

Stacey doesn't have a clue on how alluring and seductive she looks with her lips slightly parted and her

eyes wide as she stares at him.

" Moments ago, while I was waiting for you in the kitchen, I promised myself that I will not kiss you . I

want to test myself if I can bear not tasting you...that I am okay with just seeing you or holding your

hand or smelling your hair...." his voice sounds breathy.

Her body started to react..."Nick..." she muttered..

"...to hell with my promise!!" he said through his teeth as he cupped her face with his hands then

roughly kissed her.
