Tiana went back upstairs and after a few minutes, she heard the doorbell ring; she stood up from the couch and walked to the door.
'' Thanks'' she said to the waiter who had brought up the first aid kit. Tiana leaned on the front door for a moment after she had closed it; wondering how she would give the first aid box to him.
Would he scream at her if she knocked on the door?
He was already angry about losing the deal because of her; should she still knock on his door?
Her head was in a mess now, she did not think of this before she went to get the first aid box, but what would she do, she already brought it, she had to give it to him, anyway.
It was better he rejected it when she gave it to him, than never trying.
Pushing herself from the door, she walked quietly to his door, and she knocked lightly on it. Her heart pounded against her chest as she waited for a response. She was a little uneasy.
She was only doing this because she didn't want to owe him a favor, she wanted nothing to disrupt her plans; she didn't want to feel any pity when she unleashed hell on him.
She waited a while but Nicklaus did not open the door; she knocked again, this time a little harder but there was still no reply; she waited a moment and when the door didn't open, she turned around to leave;
Maybe he was sleeping, or he didn't want a disturbance, she wouldn't dare knock again, he might step out and scream the living life out of her.
But just when she took the first step, she heard the door open;
Nicklaus sat on his bed, his mind in a mess.
Earlier that evening when he noticed that man's gaze on Tiana, he felt like gouging out those eyes he used to stare so l.u.s.tfully at her. He knew she was beautiful, but he didn't know she would rile so much interest in other men, at that moment; all he wanted to do was cover her face and prevent any other man from seeing her.
And when he stood up to leave, he didn't know what came over him and he had held her hand.
Nicklaus raced his hand through his hair, fl.u.s.tered. If care was not taken, he would expose his feelings towards her and he didn't want that. It made him feel weak. He wanted to hide it till he could get over her, but things were getting out of hand.
Just that moment, he heard a calm knock on his door and his eyes turned towards it, he waited a moment and he heard it again;
Why was she knocking on the door? Nicklaus thought of a million reasons why she would knock on his door, but he couldn't pinpoint any;
Standing up, he arranged his hair before he walked to the door to open it;
Tiana turned around when she heard the door open and their eyes locked in each other's; his were fiery and absorbing, and she couldn't pull her gaze away, she kept staring into his eyes, dazed but just when it would become awkward, she quickly looked down to the first aid box on her hand;
''I… I got you a first aid box for your injury. ''
She spewed and stretched out her hand, pointing the first aid box at him.
Nicklaus stared at the kit on her outstretched hand, and his brows creased,
What injury? He wondered, entirely forgetting that he had an injury on his hands because of his phone which he had broken; his eyes slowly gazed back at her and Tiana's bit her lower lip briefly;
''I… you, you injured earlier on your hand so I got the first aid, since it is a glass wound, there may be some shards still in your hand and if it doesn't get treated, it may get infected.
She stammered; maybe it was a wrong idea after all; she shouldn't have bothered herself about him, now, he was staring at her as though she was some maniac!
Was her voice always this sweet to the ears? Nicklaus wondered as he stared at her,
Her cheeks were flushed red, she looked fl.u.s.tered, and her eyes struggled to remain at a place,
God, who created such beauty?
As he watched her, she looked more and more captivating. Was he ever going to stop thinking about her?
Tiana waited for Nicklaus to speak but he said nothing, he just kept gazing at her, unwaveringly. She didn't know what he was thinking, but she knew right away that she had made a mistake by knocking on his door; she slowly brought down her outstretched hand and looked down to the floor.
''I'll… I'll just send it back down, I'm sorry for… ''
Before she could finish her sentence Nicklaus took the first aid kit from her hands;
''thank you '' He spoke calmly and then entered his room, closing the door.
Tiana was stunned; why did he take the kit after staring at her as though she had committed some huge crime?
She wondered as she walked away from his door.
Nicklaus leaned on his door as he listened to her footsteps disappear, his heart slamming against his chest.
What was he thinking? He would really scare her if he kept behaving weirdly. First, he held her hand and now he was staring at her as though she was some barbecued chicken!
How was he going to think straight at this rate?
His eyes reflexively looked at the first aid box in his hand and he felt a warm tug on his heart.
He had been evil to her, but she still cared about the injury on his hand. What kind of person is that?
He wondered. Should he give in to his feelings for her?
The thought came to his mind, but just at that moment, he decided against it;
No, no, he can't. Not now, he had so many issues to handle, and he had enemies, those that would go to any length to see him fall; he would just be endangering her life if he gets too close to her.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
