His Lovely Obsession novel Chapter 26

(Nick)

He is really very angry. He wasn't able to follow Stacey with her former boss because of Heather. She literally threw herself at him in the living room. Though he told her that he isn't interested in her, she did her best to seduce him. He realized that her personality is very different from Stacey's. Heather has no scruples about running after men she likes. He even thinks that she has become more aggressive. Luckily their helper came in the living room to announce that she has an overseas call from her father. That was when he was able to split.

He had been calling Stacey the whole afternoon but she didn't pick up. A lot of unpleasant images came inside his head especially since she was with her former boss. He ordered his personal driver to wait for her arrival . He stayed three houses away from hers. He personally wanted to do that but he had to meet one of their big clients late in the afternoon. He also instructed the driver him to call as soon as she comes home. He was ready to blow a gasket he got his call a little after 7 PM.

"Dammit!! Where the hell they have been?!" He cursed under his breath. His face is a little red from anger.

He doesn't know how to stay cool as Derick if he is feeling this way.He was about to phone her when her number flashed on the screen.

"D-Derick?" came her sweet voice.

"What the fuck happened to you?!" he asked furiously.

Stacey pouted. "S-Sorry..I didn't check my phone...I.." she tried to explain but he cursed which made her knit her brows.

"Hey! You don't need to curse just because I wasn't able to get your call." she said sounding a little irritated. She can't understand why he is furious. She feels that he is over-reacting.

Take it easy Alcantara! Nick scolded himself.

The last thing he wants is to piss her off. He rubbed his face with his hand in vexation.

So with a lower tone he asked, " Did you see how many missed calls you got from me?"

Stacey let out a sigh. "Derick I said I am sorry. Besides I didn't ask you to call me. We were just together last night so why were you calling me?"

Nick wanted to throw his phone but he controlled himself. He made a mental note to reward himself for keeping his cool. Stacey is slowly changing him and he doesn't like it. He is infamous for jumping down on someone's throat when he can't get his way.

Who would ever think that the high and mighty Nick Alcantara is able to hold his temper?

And what is surprising is it's all because of a woman. Lately, he has been doing a lot of things that he is not accustomed to. This is really difficult for him but all these will change when she becomes officially his.

"Where have you been and who were you with?" he asked in his throaty voice but he maintained a lower tone.

Stacey wondered if she should tell him the truth so she didn't immediately answer him.

"Honey?" his voice has a hint of irritation again.

"I went out with my former boss." she finally said.

"Where did you go? What time did you come home?" He asked her.

He wants to test if she will be honest with him. He has his right hand clenched as he waits for her to respond.

"What is this Derick? An interrogation?"

"Just fucking answer me!" He rasped.

Stacey gasped then shook her head in disbelief. Derick is acting like a jealous boyfriend.

"Must I remind you that I am not your girlfriend? Just because you fuck me occasionally you already have the right to act that way!" she said angrily.

With full force , Nick threw his phone on the wall. "Fucking hell!!"

***

Stacey frowned. She heard a loud crash before the line was cut. She tried calling him again but she just heard a continuous beep. She let out a sigh. She doesn't want to have any disagreement with him. It's just that she is not used to being asked such questions especially because they are not even a real couple.

Derick is nice and sweet but maybe he just got really angry because he had been calling her almost the whole day. She saw his 12 missed calls. She decided to just text him when she still couldn't contact him. His phone seems to be off.

To: Dee (She decided to use this to register his name on her phone)

We just went to a theme park then we visited an art museum. We had an early dinner so I came home maybe half past 6. Except my mother, no one asked me about my whereabouts so I am sorry if I didn't like you asking me many questions.

She sent the message. She sat down again then tried to think about their situation.

She knows that sooner or later Derick will ask her again to be his girlfriend but does she really like him?

She closed her eyes and tried to imagine how she feels when they are together. After a few minutes she realized something.

She definitely has some feelings for him that's way she feels guilty when she becomes a little feisty with him. Frankly, she doesn't hold a grudge against him though he raped her. It was an honest mistake on his part and probably she also has a fault. She has given him and God knows who else the impression that she is a flirt and an easy girl. Her performances on stage are suggestive. Even Derick said that they are too sexy.

She should probably stop singing at the bar. She will talk to Eve and Blake. She will tell them that tonight will be her last performance.

Out of nowhere, the thought of Nick Alcantara came inside her head. She has to agree with him that she owes him a lot. Men will surely have a very bad impression of her if the June edition of Not Eye Candy came out. She cringed when she imagined that some of them would even want to rape her then kill her afterwards.

Her bad thoughts ended when her phone started ringing .
