His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 22

"She was supposed to be Miss June right? But now I remember that you wanted to talk to my brother.

What did you two talk about? " Billy asked but he ignored his question.

Instead he asked, " Did you tell Jim about the photo shoot? "

"No. I just wanted him to see the pictures once he got his copy. I called you to see the photo shoot

because I know you already have a very bad impression of her. So when I heard that Not Eye Candy

will feature her, I phoned you."

"Good! Keep it that way! Don't mention anything to Jim!" he said sounding relieved.

"Will you just tell me what happened? Where are Stacey Ledesma's photos? Why does the magazine

have a different cover and centerfold?" Billy sounds really very curious.

Nick turned on the shower to test the water's temperature. "I bought all of them. And I also paid your

brother a huge amount in exchange for the memory card and cd where the photos are stored. And of

course that includes the interview. " he said sounding cool like he just bought a box of doughnuts.

"WHAT??!!" Why the hell did you do that? Mate! What will you do with them?" Billy asked in disbelief.

He can't even imagine how much money Nick paid his brother. It is not easy getting a last -minute

model .

Nick didn't speak for a while so Billy spoke again.

"Mate, I think you did that to protect Heather's family. Didn't you? Are you finally going to commit to a

woman? " He asked Nick with a grin.

Nick chuckled but refused to comment about that. It's better that his friend believe such rubbish than

him finding out the truth.

"Don't tell a soul about all these. " he said before hanging up.

He just got out of the bathroom and his lower torso is only covered with white briefs when he heard his

phone ringing again. He smiled when he saw it's Stacey.

"Honey?"

"Derick, I saw the bracelet. It's too much! I am giving it back to you next time we meet." she said.

His forehead creased. "We already talked about that honey so you are keeping the bracelet! Let's drop

the subject!" he coldly said. He brushed his damp hair with his hand in frustration. His dominant attitude

is surfacing because of annoyance. He is not used to giving presents to women. Stacey is the first but

unfortunately, she is making a big deal out of it.

"But Derick! It is really too much!" she complained.

"I had that made for you. It's yours. Don't mind how much it is. I can afford to give you expensive

things!" he said and he heard her sigh.

"Are you ready for bed honey?" he asked her to change the subject. "What do you have on?" he asked

huskily and his d*ck reacted because he's imagining her in a sexy nightwear.

Stacey rolled her eyes. Nick's mood shifted from bad to flirtatious. She chewed the inside of her bottom

lip before looking at her night wear.

"An oversized white shirt and ...." .

Nick stopped what he was doing. He was about to put on his boxer shorts. "And what honey?" he

asked.

He heard her sighed.

"..a white lacy thong..." she said almost like a whisper.

Nick's imagination went overtime. "Honey..how I wish that I am with you right now." he groaned.

Stacey hates to admit it but she feels a little frisky. Images of the things Derick does to her when they

are together entered her mind. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

This man is really a tease! she told herself.

"Don't say that! You are such a pervert Derick!" she said sounding irritated but he just chuckled.

Nick will miss her for two days. He feels that Monday is so far away. To console himself, he will just call

her several times during the weekend or he could see her he misses her too damn much. He smiled

when he thought of that. Anything is possible ...

He already planned something so she doesn't have to sing at the bar tomorrow until Sunday.

"I'm sleepy." Stacey said before yawning.

"Okay honey..dream of me. If you were with me, I would kiss every inch of your lovely body." he said

throatily.

"Derick!"

Stacey touched her face because she is positive that she blushed. She could almost hear him

chuckling.

As expected, she woke up late the next day. She took a look at the time. It's 10:30 AM. Then she

remembered that she is going to meet Tyler today. She got up though she feels a bit lazy.

I shouldn't make a habit of this. On Monday, I will have a normal job again. She told herself as she

steps in the shower.

She chose to wear a sleeveless gray body fit top , skinny faded jeans and flat shoes. She doesn't have

any idea where they are going so to play it safe, she wore comfortable shoes. She tied her hair in a

high ponytail. Her face is bare of make-up except for her lips. She has Naked Liner by Mac and she

dabbed Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs behind her ears . She decided to have a light brunch before Tyler

arrives.

She knitted her brows when she saw Heather in the kitchen. Her half-sister is still in her black sexy

sleep shirt. She is drinking a glass of OJ. Heather's left brow went up as she looks at her from head to

toe.

"Is the princess going somewhere?" she asked her sarcastically.

Stacey just tried to ignore her. She lost her appetite so she decided to just eat a banana.

"I bet my life on it that you will come home very late again. " Heather added with a dry tone.

She sighed. "Really Heather! You are too young to sound like our mother. Your condescending

boyfriend is not here so cut out your show of concern for me,okay?"

"Bitch!" her half-sister muttered angrily.

"Miss Pretty!!!" came Amy's shrill voice.

"AMY! ! Can't you stop doing that? You sound like a fire truck for goodness' sake! You are so

annoying!" Heather said sounding irritated.

Amy's face became poker-faced as she looks at Heather. Then after a second, she turned her eyes to

her again.

"Miss Pretty! Your prince charming is waiting for you!!" she told her giddily. " Go now! I have to go back

to the garage to continue washing Miss Heather's car!" she added with a snort before heading out

again.

"Don't you think it's to early for a date ?" Heather let out a sarcastic smile.

"If you're jealous then call your arrogant boyfriend! " she said in an annoyed voice before walking out of

the kitchen.

***

Tyler is sitting on the sofa . When he saw her, he stood up. He is bringing flowers and a big box of

chocolate. His smile widened when he saw how pretty she looks.

"Good morning beautiful!" He said and handed her the flowers and the box of chocolate.

"Hello Tyler. Thank you. Come on, let's sit down. " she offered.

They sat next to each other. She hid a smile. She wished that she can dictate her heart to love him.

Tyler is good-looking too and has a stable job. She is better off with him than with Derick. She doesn't

even really know if Derick is serious about her. She shook off her thoughts because she is being unfair

to Tyler. She shouldn't be thinking of another man while they are together.

"So where are we going? It's still early?" she asked him with a small smile.

"It's up to you. Where do you want to go?" he asked her with a grin.

"How cheesy!" Heather said sarcastically as she came to the living room.

Stacey just shook her head from left to right when Tyler's eyes widened. Heather is still in her sexy

lingerie. After a few moments, he seemed to have recovered from his shock. He turned his eyes to her

again .

Heather just sat down on the chair opposite them. It looks like she doesn't even care that she is in such

a revealing sleep wear. She didn't even bother to put a robe on. She even crossed her legs seductively.

"So where are the lovers going? It's too early you know. " she asked in a honeyed tone.

Stacey felt that Tyler feels uncomfortable so she stood up. "None of your business !" she told her half-

sister.

"Let's go.." she sweetly said to Tyler.

"Anywhere is fine with me Heather. I just want to spend time with your sister."

Heather snorted and suddenly stood up too.

"Well have fun kids! Don't do anything that you shouldn't be doing without any protection." She said

sarcastically which made her frown but she just ignored her remark.

They were about to go to the front door when they heard the shrill voice of Amy again so they all turned

to the front door which is ajar.

Amy flung the door and said sounding even giddier than when she announced Tyler's arrival, " Miss

Pretty! Guess who is looking for you now?!"

She was about to ask her who but she gaped when she saw Nick Alcantara appeared behind Amy. He

has a grim expression.

Nick felt heat slowly came up his neck to his ears when he saw Stacey holding hands with another

man. They seem to be about to go out.
