Tiana watched Nicklaus close the door after they walked into the room, his face frosty as ever, her mind went over what happened some minutes ago.
She wondered what Michelle was thinking to have paired her with Richard. It was obvious she was just looking for trouble, but if Nicklaus did nothing and left everything to them, grandma and grandpa wouldn't be happy. She didn't want them to have issues because of her, so she walked to where he was lying on the bed, sitting down beside him;
''don't you think we should just do what they said? ''
Nicklaus gaze turned to her, his eyes fiery, and she instantly shook her head;
''No, no, I didn't mean we should continue with the pairing, I just feel we shouldn't do nothing, since we came for the birthday; we should help out in any way we can. ''
She raised her hand to his chest and rubbed him lightly; as soon as her hand touched his chest, his glare disappeared instantly, and he blinked, a tender gaze replacing the frosty expression. He raised his hand and covered her hand on his chest, squeezing it lightly;
''You'll never leave my side okay?''
He spoke tenderly and Tiana's eyes fluttered; she felt a painful tug on her throat and she couldn't find the words to reply;
''Okay? ''
Nicklaus said again, lifting her hand to his lips, he kissed it lightly, his eyes still fixed on hers, Tiana gulped.
''Okay. ''
She forced a smile to her lips as she replied.
She knew she was lying to him, but at that moment it didn't matter. She just had to say what he wanted to hear.
''I don't like the way he looks at you, Beautiful.''
Nicklaus murmured, but it was loud enough for her to hear;
''Richard?"
She asked, even though she knew who he was referring to. Nicklaus nodded slightly; his eyes dropping to her hand in his, and he squeezed it again.
''I don't like that he can make you smile when I can't. It hurts. '' His gaze raised to her eyes and held her gaze in his;
Tiana's heart slammed rapidly against her chest, she was finding it hard to breathe.
The atmosphere was getting very intense. His dazzling gaze held hers and his hand caressed hers. Nicklaus licked his lower lip briefly and Tiana gulped as her eyes fell on his pink lips. At that moment, all atom of sanity had flown out of the window and she knew that if he made any attempt towards her that moment, she was done for.
As though God was on her side, a knock sounded on the door, kicking her out of her l.u.s.tful daze. Tiana blinked and stood up from the bed.
''I'll go check the door. ''
She said, avoiding his gaze, she walked to the door.
Turning the knob, she opened the door lightly; her brows creased when she saw the person on the other side;
Mia?
''Is Nicklaus in? ''
She asked softly, her gaze shifting from Tiana to the little opening the door had created. Tiana creased her brows and pushed open the door, letting her walk in.
Nicklaus turned to see who just stepped in and his eyes turned frosty when he saw who it was.
Mia's expression was as soft as a baby's as she stepped into the room. She raised her eyes to Nicklaus and when she saw his expression, she looked towards her toes,
''I'm sorry for what happened downstairs, please don't be angry. Everyone has agreed that you two would handle the drinks. I'm really sorry that you both had to leave that way. ''
Her eyes turned to Tiana, who was standing by the door pitifully and she shifted her gaze back to Nicklaus.
Tiana narrowed her eyes at her. She was exquisite and her skin looked very nice. Just once gaze and it was obvious she was from a very wealthy family, unlike her, whose hands had done tedious work to make ends meet.
Her eyes shifted to Nicklaus and back to her,
They would suit each other if Nicklaus wasn't glaring at her right now as though she had killed a lone cat.
Nicklaus did not say a word, his lips thinned as though he was preventing himself from saying something;
Tiana watched them for a moment and when she saw that he would not reply, she smiled at Mia.
''Alright, we'll do that. ''
She spoke tenderly and held the door open for her to leave. Mia's eyes reluctantly shifted to Tiana and when she saw the door open, she swallowed.
She didn't want to leave, but it was obvious she had overstayed her welcome, and she did not want Nicklaus to be angry with her, so she smiled.
''Thank you, I'll tell everyone that you agreed. '' She said and walked out of the door, but not without glancing at Tiana for the last time.
After they left, Douglas made Michelle redo the list and Elizabeth opted to go tell them about the change in the function but she had told her she would do it. This was her opportunity to show herself to him. Ever since she was in the house, he had barely glanced at her, now she would go up to the room; there was no way he would not look at her.
Even though he was glaring, she was glad his glare was on her, she didn't mind, as long as he had seen her. She had not been this happy in a long time.
Tiana closed the door after she left and turned to Nicklaus, who was still with a poker face. She knew he was angry because she didn't ask for his opinion before accepting to do the function.
Walking to his side of the bed, she sat down and placed her head on his chest lovingly.
''We shouldn't get grandma and grandpa worried, okay? Although she made a mistake, let's be the bigger person and do what is right, okay?''
If Nicklaus was feeling anything now, it was the swell of her chest rubbing on him; his annoyance vanished the second she lay on his chest.
How does she have the control to his emotions? Just one touch and he was already a sweltering puddle?
