His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 38

(Nick)

He frowned in disbelief. He would probably go violent if he wasn't Derick too.

Did she just suggest that me as Nick be her other man? He angrily thought.

He came closer to her. "Are you serious?" he asked, shock evident in his tone.

"Yes. At this point I can't leave my boyfriend for you. So think carefully about it sir. I will just be outside.

" Stacey said before walking out.

After she left, still in shock, he went back to his chair.

FUCKING HELL! Could she really do that? Have two boyfriends? Fortunately the other boyfriend she

was talking about is also me but what if we are already officially together minus Derick, will she go out

with other men? Why did she suggest such a stupid thing?! He asked himself furiously.

He thought he knew her but it seems like he doesn't.

"SHIT!!!"

He got the paper weight on the table which his mother had given him and threw it angrily. It hit the wall

and shattered. He grabbed some of his hair and cursed repeatedly out of outrage.

Then he heard knocks . He sighed heavily and just waited for the door to open.

"Sir, the maintenance is here." Cherry said.

" Just tell them to move the desk now and inform Miss Ledesma that I expect her to be here inside

when I get back!" he said before rising from his chair. He needs to go out to clear his head.

(Stacey)

She was getting her stuff from the table when she saw Nick stormed out of his office. He has a grim

expression. He didn't even look at her.

Uh-oh..someone is in a very bad mood. She thought.

She swallowed a smile. There is no way that the high and mighty PTEF will want a woman to be his

when she is still with another man. Nick Alcantara doesn't share.

(After half an hour)

She looked around his private office after organizing her desk. For a man with a lot of money, his room

is very simple. He doesn't have any pictures of his family which made her wonder why. Then she heard

her phone. Derick is calling. She might still be a little annoyed with him but she can't hide the fact that

she always misses him.

"Derick?"

"Honey. Good morning." he greeted in that croaky voice of his.

She is now wondering whether he really sounds this way or not. There are many things he wants to

hide from her, his looks and probably even his natural voice. What a very mysterious man he is!

She just sighed.

Well that's one of the things she liked about him anyway. Besides, according to him she just has to wait

for probably a few more weeks then she will finally see him. That made her smile a little.

"I missed you." she said a little huskily .

She feels happy when she's with him or just by talking with him.

"Really honey?" he asked.

"Yes. I do. I always miss you. And I want you to know that I am wearing the bracelet today." she told

him.

"That's good."

She frowned. There's something different about him. He doesn't sound happy talking to her.

"Derick? Is anything wrong?" she asked worriedly.

(Nick)

He is a bit pissed and confused. He can't forget what she said that she will give him, as Nick a chance

though she loves Derick. He doesn't know if she meant that. She never told him as Derick that she

loves him.

This whole situation which he himself created is driving him mad. He accepts that it's all his fault but he

can't totally blame himself for wanting to test her if she will really like him as Derick. She's the perfect

woman for him. Beautiful, sexy, independent, honest, unpredictable and sometimes feisty too.

He admits that he is egotistical. He is aware that he is irresistible to women so when she said that she

is not attracted to him physically, it hurt his ego big time. And where did that lead him? He is now

competing with himself which is very very stupid.

He hates to think that all his hard work and plans will go down the drain if he will let his emotions

control him again. He has gone this far as Derick, so he should end this the right way. He needs

patience.

"No, nothing's wrong honey. I am just tired . I slept really late last night."

He heard her sighed. "Please take care of yourself okay?" she said.

He smiled. He likes what she said just like everything about her. He better ask her questions about her

"boss" . She is more honest to Derick than to Nick anyway.

"I forgot to ask last night honey, isn't your boss making pass at you?" he asked her.

(Stacey)

She didn't expect his question. She moistened her lips.

Should I tell him?--she asked herself.

"Honey?" he sounded impatient.

"Derick, please don't be mad..."

There was silence for a few moments.

"Tell me everything honey." he finally said.

She took a deep breath. "He wants to woo me so I told him that I already have a boyfriend. I wore the

bracelet you gave me hoping that he'll get the message that I am no longer free."

She feels relieved after telling him that . He is going to be her boyfriend anyway so she wants to be

honest with him. She will surprise him on Friday. She will say yes to him.

"And??" he asked.

She stood up and walked near the window.

"H-He said he will still pursue me but don't worry Derick , I will do my best to avoid him. "© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Nick clenched his hands which are on the steering wheel. He drove to the nearest coffee shop to do

some thinking. Now he is inside his car which is parked in the basement parking.

"Why don't you just quit? "

"I can't right now but eventually I will resign. Please don't worry, Derick. I can take care of myself." she

assured him.

It's not yet the right time to tell him the real reason why she agreed to work for Nick Alcantara. She

heard him sighed.

"Okay honey, I trust you. I am just a call away in case you need me." he said which made her smile.

He really makes me feel giddy most of the time! He does care for me! She thought.

She is excited to meet him on Friday. He is going to be happy with her decision. She can't wait to be his

real girlfriend.

Then she realized something..she is beginning to fall for him.

She is physically attracted to Nick but what she feels for Derick is deeper though she hasn't seen his

face yet. And since he is her first lover, she would choose to be with him than with Nick.

"Thank you for the trust Derick." she said huskily.

"I can't wait for Friday honey..." he said in his throaty voice.

"Me too."

Feeling happy and excited, she said goodbye to him.

***

She was still daydreaming about Derick when the door was flung open. Her monster boss finally came

back. He has a stony expression. He slammed the door after him. She almost shook her head in

disapproval but it's his door so he is free to break it if he wished to.

She was pretending to be busy sketching something when she heard him say, " I thought about what

you said a while ago."

She raised her face to look at him. He is standing beside her. She didn't speak as she stares at him.

She has her fingers crossed under the table. She is praying silently that he would say no. Her

relationship with Derick is already complicated and it will be more complicated if Nick will not leave her

alone.

She gasped when all of a sudden he grabbed her wrist and pulled her up .. then his lips went down to

hers. The kiss completely caught her off guard. Now Nick started to nip her upper lip then her bottom

one which is sending a thousand of voltages in her body. Her hands moved to their own accord . One

of them came up to the side of his face and the other one went to his left bicep. He , on one hand has

his arms around her to support her back as he deepens the kiss.

His tongue is in battle with hers. They have their eyes closed as they do their French kiss. They are

moaning.

She opened her eyes when she heard someone gasped.

"OH MY GOD!" a female voice exclaimed.
