His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 345 - Feeling Better?



"We all went to the same school. Don't mind the Michael you're seeing now, he was a very quiet and shy boy, we made him this outspoken and bad."

Michael dropped his cutleries and looked up to the ceiling, he knew it was a bad choice inviting his friends over.

Diana laughed,

"why was he shy?"

"Well, he just didn't like to talk, he loved being alone. We got close to him when we were put in the same group for assignments. And luckily we were in the same class in senior year.

He was a very smart kid, always coming first in class, so we stuck to him like glue. That was how we became friends.

We didn't go to the same Uni as he wanted to study business, but we still kept in touch."

"So he was a good kid?"

Her eyes arched and Mathew grinned,

"Except in matters of the other room,"

"Christ, can you shut up!"

Michael stood up now, his friends weren't visiting him ever again. Diana's face shone pink.

His friends were a comolete package of unseasoned tongues. Just like him. They were fun.

Michael sat in the living room as he watched them talk about him. Diana didn't even look at him, she laughed her ass off as they said stories that happened back in school and before she met him.

When they were done, she cleared the table and came to join them in the parlor.

Michael had a visible frown on his brows and Diana chuckled,

"Are you angry?" she asked, still laughing.

His friends were sitting far away from him, but Diana wasn't afraid of his anger, she just walked to him and kissed him on the lips,

"feeling better now?"

She had taken him unawares, so his frown fell instantly as he wasn't prepared for that. His ear burned.

He looked at her,

"you're so naughty."

Diana laughed and stood up right, but he pulled her back down to his side,

"don't believe anything they said, they don't like me."

He said to her, regretting why he invited them over in the first place.

Diana smiled,

"Are you sure? Cause they only said good things about you, but now you're acting this way, I'm beginning to think there's something more."

"Ah, no! Don't mind me, there's nothing."

Diana squinted her brows,

"Okay, I believe you."

"Aish! Can you both wait till we leave before being so touchy?"

Japheth said, reminding them that they weren't alone.

Diana laughed and turned back to them, sitting apart from Michael.

There was no way they would be close and not touch each other.

After playing video games with Michael, they stood up to leave.

"Take care Japheth, take care Mathew."

Diana waved at them as she stood by the door.

Michael who was seeing them off, turned to look at her,

"You know you can actually bid them goodbye without calling their names?"

"Stop being so jealous Michael, when I want to chase Diana, trust me I'll let you know."

Michael instantly shot a glare at Japheth, who knew well to run before he caught up with him.

Diana laughed as she stood by the door. Michael said they hated him but these friends actually loved him a little too much.

She knew he kept a lot of girlfriends in the past but they didn't once mention them, which meant they had his interest at heart.

She went back into the house and as she walked past the parlor, Michael's phone rang on the table.

She walked to it, and picked it up but when her eyes fell on the name on the caller ID, the smile on her lips disappeared.

Nicklaus came back home rather early.

He walked past the parlor and caught the silhouette of a woman, her hair was tied up like Tiana's and she was wearing a similar dress like Tiana's, so without looking properly, he called,

"Beautiful…."

Gwen turned immediately she heard Nicklaus voice, she was surprised at first and then she smiled,

"Oh, sorry, you looked like your sister from your back view. Where is she?"

"She's not back yet. She said she'll be coming back a little late today."

"Oh, alright."

Nicklaus said and walked away.

The smile on Gwen's lips did not erase. Even though he had said he thought she was her sister, she didn't care. He had called her Beautiful and that was it.

She looked a lot like Tiana, so if he fell for her looks then he would definitely fall for her.

She always knew she was the first person he set his eyes on, he just needed Tiana out of the way to see it.

Gwen grinned and turned back to the water dispenser, filling her cup with cold water.

She was happy today.

She had not drank half the cup when she saw Veronica walk into the parlor.

She looked around and when she didn't see anyone, she pointed towards the garden and then walked out. Veronica waited a minute then she followed her.

"Did you get the ingredients?"

Veronica nodded, her hands were shaky as she looked at her feet.

Gwen glared at her,

"Buckle yourself up, why being so weak?"

"Nothing, it's just I don't want anything to happen to Tiana."

Gwen scoffed, "but you wanted to dupe her of some money? You're not even serious."

She eyed her angrily, with the way she was behaving, she didn't know if she would keep her around for long, when she got married to Nicklaus, she would make sure to send her faraway.

"It won't hurt her, it'll just make her womb uncomfortable for any baby, that's all. If you keep behaving like this and get caught, you're on your own, so the earlier you put your shit together, the better for you."

She concluded and walked away, leaving Veronica with a bowed head,

She didn't know why she had to spoil her joyful mood.

Gwen smiled as she remembered the way he had called her earlier.

Just thinking of him calling her so sweetly everyday made her squirm.
