His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 298 - Worry

He was so eager to help her, which meant that he liked her. He didn't even blink when he stared at her, Gwen felt her cheeks heat up at that thought. If he continued seeing her every day like this he would surely fall for her.

…

Tiana and Nicklaus retired back upstairs, as soon as they got into the room; Nicklaus pulled her from behind and gave her a back hug.

Tiana smiled; ''what's wrong? ''

It was so out of the blues so she wondered if anything was wrong with him.

''No, let's just stay like this. '' He whispered as he buried his head in the crook of her neck, his eyes closed.

Tiana held his hand around her waists as she listened to his heartbeat.

''Was work stressful? '' she asked and she felt him nod slightly.

''So sorry, you need to have enough sleep else you might have a migraine tomorrow. ''

Tiana turned around to hold his face and stare at him. Nicklaus pouted and hugged her again, sucking her in. She laughed when she noticed he was hugging her as though they just met after five years of being apart;

''Wow, I'm feeling so much fine now. If you let me hug you like this every day, then I wouldn't be stressed out.''

''who said you can't hug me like this every morning? ''

''When you are passed out and sleeping like a log of wood, do you even know when I leave in the morning? See how fleshy you've become since you've not been doing anything. ''

Nicklaus remarked as he squeezed her ass with his hands. Tiana yelped;

''baby, are you calling me fat? '' her eyes widened in shock; Nicklaus shook his head to correct her, but she continued immediately;

''I'm fat? How am I fat? Do I look fat?''

''No, no, beautiful, you are not fat, you're not even close to fat, you just added some extra flesh that's all.''

''that's it, it's been confirmed, I'm fat, you are just saying that to console me,'??? Tiana said as her face fell, she let go of him and walked to the standing mirror to look at herself. Nicklaus didn't know women didn't like being called fat until now. She wasn't actually fat she wasn't even close to fat, she just added some flesh and just in the right places.

And he even loved it, but maybe he had complimented her in the wrong way.

Walking to her by the mirror side; he held her by the waists;

''you're not fat, you're not even close to fat. You just added flesh in the right places and I love it.

Tiana pouted; ''but do you like fat women? ''

Nicklaus mentally rolled his eyes; did he just buy trouble for himself?

''Um… beautiful, you're not fat, okay? ''

''I know; '' Tiana nodded; ''But do you like fat women, what if I become fat after having a lot of kids, will you still find me attractive? ''

How did she not think about this all the while? What if she became fat and he didn't want her anymore?

Would he cheat on her?

The thought of it made her heart skip a beat.

Nicklaus laughed out loud; ''Beautiful, what is going on in your head? ''

''I'm serious, stop laughing! ''

Nicklaus pulled her close and hugged her;

''Beautiful, even if you're old and all wrinkly, I would still love you as much as I do now; even if you get fat, which you aren't even close to, I would still love you, so stop overthinking, okay? ''

He kissed her hair and she nodded; they were quiet for a while before Tiana added;

''I'll resume work now; I don't think staying at home all day is doing me any good, I want to be slim and sexy, don't want all your fangirls finding a reason to insult the life outta me. ''

Nicklaus laughed; she really had a way of imagining a lot of things.

''don't overwork yourself okay? ''

Tiana nodded.

Talking about kids, she didn't even know why he wasn't even talking about it yet, it's been months. Was it that he wasn't noticing or he was just trying to play ignorant?

It would have been better if he talked about it, then she would know what he was thinking, there was no way she would believe that he didn't think about it even once.

''Um… babe; '' Tiana called and Nicklaus replied faintly;

She didn't know how to ask it, but damn, she couldn't bear it all alone anymore. She contemplated for a moment before she finally spoke;

''Um, can we go to the hospital for some checkup? ''

Nicklaus raised her head up to stare at her face, worry in his eyes;

''what's wrong? Are you not feeling too well? Are you sick anywhere? ''

Tiana shook her head slowly; seeing his expression she knew he might really not have been thinking about it. Should she still tell him?

Tiana faked a chuckle; ''haha, don't worry I was just joking. ''

''Beautiful; '' Nicklaus held her face with his hands so he could stare in her eyes; ''don't lie to me, if there's any problem, you can tell me. ''

Tiana was quiet, she shouldn't have asked in the first place, but now she had already asked, she might as well tell him.

''Maybe there's something wrong with me. ''

''How? Where? '' Nicklaus looked her up to down, she didn't show any signs of illness lately, he wondered what was wrong with her.

''I'm not pregnant yet… '' she said in a hushed tone that Nicklaus had to wait a few seconds for her words to sink.

He was quiet for a moment;

''Have you been worried about that? '' He asked with a concerned expression. He didn't even think that she would get worried so soon;

''No, I just… ''

''It's not even up to three months, wait, it's been one month right? ''

''One month and three weeks; '' Tiana corrected.

''Beautiful, that's not enough to know if you are sick, but don't worry as soon as the wedding is over, we'll have a doctor come to check on you, okay? ''

She nodded with a smile. The thing was that she was actually having a bad feeling that she might not be able to get pregnant.
