His Beautiful Addiction-Chapter 84 - For Being My Friend

Tiana creased her lips at his question. He was watching her as though he really wanted to know, but after remembering what he did to her, she didn't feel like talking about her dreams at all.

''I don't have any dreams. '' her dream was to be a makeup artist but at that moment, her biggest dream was to get as far as she could from such a complicated person.

''No-one can say that, everyone has a dream beautiful. ''

Nicklaus smirked, his gaze on her not faltering.

''Hmm, if that's so, what's your dream? ''

She asked, raising her eyelid, and tilting her head a little.

''Mm, I have a lot of aspirations beautiful. I'll tell you when the time is right, but for now; I've always wanted to be a cook. ''

'' ''

Tiana's eyes widened and in the next second, she was bursting from laughter.

''What? What did you say? ''

She asked; her face all red from laughing too much.

Nicklaus was puzzled;

''why? You don't believe me? ''His brows narrowed at her and Tiana shook her head repeatedly;

''No, I believe you; it's just that I didn't expect someone as handsome and rich as you to love to cook, and given that I've not seen you cook before, it is rather strange. ''

She concluded with an amused smile; she watched his features for a moment and imagined him in an apron in the kitchen. His sleeves rolled up and the heat from the flames flushing his face and she gulped;

Fuck that would be so hot!

''Hmm, I don't cook because I'm very busy, but now you've mentioned it, I'll prepare one of my specials for you. ''

What Nicklaus didn't know was that she loved men who knew how to cook.

Why on earth would he know how to cook!

Tiana whined in her head because the offer was near irresistible. She should turn down the offer, if she ate his meals, then she was done, she would never be able to resist him anymore.

???'Hmm, don't worry you don't have to stress yourself… ''

''I never said that I'm complaining, beautiful; and besides, I haven't had a meal I prepared myself in a long while, so I think it would be fun. ''

Tiana's lips thinned at his reply, she didn't even know what to say. Even though she knew it was dangerous, she still wanted to try his meals_ more like wanting to know how good he was.

''Okay, but when did you learn how to cook; you are mostly busy, when did you have time to learn?''

She asked wonderingly. Nicklaus thought for a second, he shifted his position on the chair before he replied;

''Well, I've always loved cooking right from childhood, and while growing up, I prepared my meals myself. I don't have time to prepare my meals now because of work. ''

''Okay. '' Tiana replied; remembering something, she opened her lips to ask, but then she stopped herself;

''What is it? You can ask me anything beautiful. '' ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

Nicklaus said when he noticed her struggling with herself. Tiana's eyes rose to him and she smiled;

''I was just wondering, why don't you have any friends? You don't even do anything for fun, it's always work and staying home all day. You don't even party, go to the beach, movies, nothing. Isn't it boring?''

Tiana's brows creased as she watched him, her worried gaze changed to that of embarrassment when she noticed how he was staring at her.

Nicklaus had a smile on his lips as he watched her rant. He had never had friends because he studied from home and he couldn't possibly party alone nor have all these fun alone but now it was different, he had her…

''Who said I have no friends? ''

Tiana's lips fell in shock at his reply. For the few months she had been with him, she had never seen him chatting with any person other than his guards, or employees. Was he having imaginary friends now?

''When I have you here with me? '' Nicklaus completed his sentence, a passionate gaze in his eyes as he stared at her. Tiana's heart skipped a beat and for a split second, she found it hard to breathe.

Why was he calling her a friend? How could he trust people so easily?

''And now you mentioned it, we'll go to all these fun places you just mentioned. All of them and more, okay? ''

''What? ''

Tiana's eyes widened at his statement.

Nicklaus tilted his head to the side;

''You don't want to go with me? '' He asked, and she shook her head quickly;

''No, no, that's not what I meant… '' She raised her both hands as she shook her head;

''Then we'll have loads of fun together, okay? ''

Tiana bit her lower lip lightly; how would she be able to resist him if she wouldn't have a day away from him? He was filling every part of her that she was beginning to forget who she really was.

This was not good…

''Beautiful, do you know how you look when you bite your lips like that? ''

Her eyes widened at his question and she quickly pulled her lips from her mouth, her cheeks tainting red. She had not recovered from what he just said and he was throwing another bomb;

''We should go home now, '' Tiana picked her bag from the table and stood up from her chair, her gaze on the floor. She normally bit her lips when she was nervous but at that moment, she made sure to keep her lips out of her mouth.

Nicklaus waited a second before standing up; and he walked to her in silent steps, lifting his hand to her face. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Tiana held her breath as his hands touched her face, shifting some strands of hair behind her ear.

''Thank you beautiful '' His voice carried a hint of emotion as he spoke, Tiana's gaze rose to him and their gazes locked in each other's. She wanted to ask what he was thanking for, but his next action caught her off guard.

Nicklaus pulled her into a close hug, taking her breath away, his irresistible scent wafted into her nostrils.

''Thank you for being my friend ''

Tiana's heart slammed against her chest so hard that it hurt, why was she feeling as though she was betraying him?
