His Lovely Obsession novel Chapter 56

Blake and Eve are sitting on the table inside the kitchen when she got in. They both looked up from their food. Blake pulled a chair for her and she sulkily sat.

"What's wrong?" Eve asked while Blake put some food on her plate.

"Why the long face Miss Hotness?" he asked with a sexy grin .

"You deliberately made my boss angry!" she accused him.

He chuckled before saying, "Eat."

After swallowing her food, Eve asked," And what did my hot cousin did to piss your yummy boss?"

Blake shook his head and said," Beats me why women describe some men as hot and yummy which are adjectives more suitable for food "

Eve just stuck her tongue out at him while she chose not to react or comment.

"You shouldn't have provoked my boss Blake!" She said as she took some of the food.

"He doesn't scare me.He acts and talks as if he owns you.Is he your boyfriend?" he asked as he knits his brows.

Stacey opened her mouth to say something but Eve interrupted. "If they are not yet together , I am sure that they will be very soon. They look so good together."

Blake made an ugly sound at the back of his throat in disapproval. "And since when did you like arrogant and patronizing men, Miss Hotness?"

She didn't answer him. Instead she looked at her friend. "Hurry up eating Eve. We have to get out of here now. Anyway your performance on stage is 2 hours away. "

"Why do you need to rush?" with furrowed brows, Blake asked.

Stacey just chewed her bottom lip.Blake can give Nick a run for his money. He was a part-time martial instructor when he was wooing her. So if they will get physical, she has no clue who will be beaten up badly and she doesn't want to know. Blake has a special spot in her heart because he has been nice to her even before and Nick... well..

She sighed.

She doesn't want any of them hurt so it's best that she and Eve go before Nick arrives.

"I want to have coffee somewhere." she lied. "Let's use my car Eve! " she added and rose from her chair before Blake could stop them.

She almost dragged her friend as they walk to her car. She gave her the key."You drive. I'll call Nick. Let's go to the cafe three blocks from here."

***

Nick was relieved to know that Stacey wasn't with the asshole. She is with her friend Eve. It saved him from beating him up which could have caused a rift again between him and his woman . She called to say where they are.

After talking for a few minutes over coffee , he asked Billy to use his car to drive Eve back to the bar and he on the other hand, will drive Stacey's car to bring her home. He wants to talk to her somewhere. He will just call Billy to pick him up at Stacey's house later.

Now they are in the car parked several meters away from the cafe.

"Honey.." he called her.

Stacey swallowed a smile because Nick used his endearment for her again which made her feel giddy. She turned to him and she couldn't help biting her bottom lip because of the way he is looking at her. When she saw him open his mouth to say something, she chose to speak first.

"I'm sorry." she said in a husky voice.

She looked at him in amazement as his lips broke into a small smile which reaches his eyes and lightens them.The look on his handsome face is making her body react. She can feel her nipples hardening and she feels a sensation in her most private part. Nick really makes her sexually excited especially when they are alone.

She almost gaped when he pulled her to him by his hand on her nape.

They both groaned when their lips touched . He encircled his other arm around her to pull her even closer. Her hands are on his biceps. They kissed as if they haven't seen each other for days or even weeks. They want to quench their thirst for each other. When his lips went down to her neck, Stacey moaned his name.

Upon hearing his name, Nick returned his lips to hers. He kissed her more passionately because he likes the way she called out his name. After a few moments, he broke the kiss and cupped her chin. He moved his head back to put a little distance between them. He wants to look at her eyes.

"That sounds so damn fine,honey.I really like it when you say my name when we kiss or make love." he murmured huskily.

Stacey smiled shyly.

"I just want you to trust me honey. That's all I ask. "he said gently before giving her a peck on the lips.

Now he framed her face and is looking at her lovely features as if he is memorizing it. Stacey dropped her eyes. She can't stand looking at his dark ones. She is afraid she might give her real feelings away. She can't afford to do that. She has stronger feelings for him but she shouldn't forget that Derick is her priority.

"Nick.." she protested when he gave her light kisses on the lips again.

She couldn't move away from him because he wouldn't let her. She raised her hands to his which are holding her face. He chuckled but after a second or two, he released her face.

"Okay, now we talk." he said. His eyes drinking in her pretty face.

She pouted. She knows what he wants to talk about.

"Have you forgotten that you aren't supposed to go out at night during weekdays?" He asked with a heavy frown.

"It's still early. I didn't want to go home yet. We just had dinner." she said after moistening her lips.

"With that asshole?!" he asked through gritted teeth. Gone is his sexy smile.

She tried to hold the stare. " Eve was with us."

Then out of instinct , she moved a little away from him when she saw anger in his eyes.

"Why the hell did he call you babe?!"

"N-Nick...he was just joking." she explained and to make it lighter,she let out a quiet laugh.

"And why would he make such a fucking joke ?"

She doesn't know how to answer that so she just chewed the inside of her cheek.

"Maybe it's time for me and that asshole to have our talk." Nick said as if to himself while he balled his hands which are on the steering wheel.

She felt her heart beat faster. "No! What for? Blake and I are just friends!"

"That's not the impression I got last time." Nick said while gritting his teeth.He looks very displeased.

Then she remembered that the two talked last time when Nick took her home and found Blake's big bike outside her step-father's house. They looked as if they wanted to hurt each other physically. She made a mental note to ask Blake what he said to Nick which angered him.

But she wants them to drop the subject of Eve's cousin. She doesn't want Nick getting pissed with Blake again.

"Let's not talk about Blake. Trust me. He is just a friend."

Nick raked his hand through his hair and sighed heavily before looking at her again. " I don't ever want to see him near you! Is that clear honey?"
