His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 17

She bit her bottom lip. Her cheeks became flushed and her eyes twinkled. She will be with Derick

tonight. She feels sexually excited...and more... Maybe his presence is like a breath of fresh air for her

though their arrangement is really weird. She knows that he will be probably watching her performance

later. He will be one of the audience. If she wants, she can check out each one of them by peeking into

the room before her number. But she will not do that because she doesn't care how he looks like.

Finding about that will kill the thrill she has when she's with him.

She put the sleep mask inside her bag. She stood up and decided to change her undies. They are too

plain. She wants to look good for Derick. She got a black strapless bra with a matching lacy thong. She

went inside her bathroom. It's a good thing that she hasn't put any perfume yet. She will use L'Elixir

Eau de Parfum for Women by Nina Ricci which her mother gave her as a Christmas gift.She wants to

smell delicious for him. She dabbed a little behind her ears, her wrists and the valley between her

breasts.

***

A white Mercedez Benz CLS 350 Coupe is parked in front of a cafe near Stacey's. Nick ordered his

driver to deliver the box with the sleep mask to Stacey's house. He even bought his driver a motorcycle

which he will use if Derick wants to send something to her. He also got a Ducati New Monster 1200 R

for himself which he will drive when he meets her as Derick. He can't use his favorite big bike. It's too

risky.

He saw his driver's motorcycle coming. He just nodded at him when he passed by. That's the sign that

his task was done.

He smiled with satisfaction when he realized that all is well. On Monday, as Nick, he will constantly see

her . She is his addiction. She bewitched him.What makes him more drawn to her is the fact that she is

the first female who had met him as Nick Alcantara and didn't even bat her eyelashes at him. She is a

real challenge and her being beautiful is a bonus. He can't wait to be with his Stacey as Nick or Derick.

(Stacey)

"Girlfriend! You look especially hot tonight! You look inspired!" Eve joked.

She let out a shy smile. She really took care of her appearance .She knows Derick is going to be out

there somewhere.

"And how does an inspired person looks like?" she asked as she curls her hair with a hot iron while she

sits in front of the mirror.

Her friend looked at her reflection." Well your eyes have a certain spark and your smile is too sweet!

Just be careful because you might have a sugar rush!" Eve said which made her laugh lightly.

Tonight she will sing sexy songs as usual. Me & U by Cassie, Body Party by Ciara ,Lose Control by

Keri Hilson at Haunted by Beyonce

She is in a white spandex jumpsuit . She had her hair tied in a high ponytail .It looks good on her,

especially the way the end of her hair is curled. It makes her look hot but still sophisticated. Her make-

up is beautifully made too. She had a make-up crash course in college with Eve. Her friend has more

chances to practice what they learned because she has to make herself up almost every night for their

performances. She is thankful that she can also use her skills now that she started singing at the bar.

***

Nick is in his usual place which is at the farthest corner of the bar. He is in a black sweater. He will have

a good view of Stacey who will be on the stage any moment now. Before he came inside, he told his

driver to hand the envelope with his message for Stacey to any of the waiters. He instructed him to tell

the server to give her the envelope after her performance. He knows that after her number, she goes

straight to the dressing room and doesn't come out anymore.

The bar is full. His eyes narrowed. Most of the customers are male and he is sure as hell that it's all

because of Stacey. He clenched his fists which are on the table. He doesn't like that.

This will be her last night here so cool it! He told himself. He will make it sure that Stacey will never sing

and dance sexily in front of other men. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

When she stepped on the stage, all became silent. She blinked when the spotlight hit her beautiful

face.

She looks so fucking hot! He thought.

She sang her first song, Me and U by Cassie . She is a good dancer so her movements are in sync

with the music. Her voice is also good. Her sensual dancing, sexy body and lovely face captivated the

audience. They have their eyes glued on her.

Nick watches with his eyes like slits. She is so fucking alluring and her performance is so suggestive

that it makes him think of sex. He looked around. And though he can't hardly see the surroundings

because it's a little dark, he knows that the men watching her feel the same. He cursed quietly. The bar

counter is the only area which is a bit bright so he can see the silhouettes of the people sitting there.

They are all watching and it seems that even the bar tender stopped what he is doing to watch. He

gritted his teeth.

SHIT! Never again honey..after tonight..never again! He uttered angrily to himself.

(Stacey)

"Miss hotness! What a performance!" Blake said with a sexy grin. He put his hand at the back of her

chair. She's removing her make-up. He escorted her back the dressing room just to make sure that she

will not speak to anyone.

"Hmm.. I have to be careful. I might fall for you again." he added. His tone sounds amused but she

noticed that his eyes have a certain glint.

"Don't even think about it." she said while she made a face at him then he straightened.

He chuckled before he got out.

She let out a sigh. The last thing she wants is to make their friendship complicated. Blake has a son

and a girlfriend. They can't be together.

She looked at the door when she heard it opened. Eve came in.

"Girlfriend! One of the waiters said, someone wants to give this to you! I wonder who it's from. You

have so many admirers out there! ?" Eve said with a wide smile before handing her a cream colored

envelope. She thanked her with a smile too.

She knows who it's from. It's from Derick.

Then Eve tapped her shoulder. "I'll go ahead. I have a date with Lance. See you tomorrow night!"

She said okay before her friend left the dressing room.

Now she is all alone again. She stared at the envelope in her hand for a few seconds before deciding

to tear it open. She even moistened her lips because they felt dry all of a sudden. She can feel her

heart racing from excitement.

Honey, drive up to the gas station in front of the convenience store.I will knock five times on your

window...D..

She heaved a heavy sigh to ease her nervousness and excitement. She bit her bottom lip and placed

the envelope on her chest with her two hands on it. She looked at her reflection. Her cheeks turned

crimson. She feels giddy.

***

She frowned when she saw Tyler waiting for her outside the bar.

Gosh! What will I do? I can't just ignore him but Derick is waiting for me! She told herself.

Her former boss is leaning on the pillar near the entrance door. He straightened when he saw her.

"Stacey!" he smiled as he approached her.

She let out a small smile. "Hi. Why are you here? "

"I watched your performance. You were amazing. Err.. can we go somewhere to talk? I miss you." he

said in a sad voice.

(Nick)

He is on his big bike. He had been waiting for Stacey . He is a little far from her but he will see her

clearly once she goes out of the bar. They can't see him because he is partly hidden by a pick up truck

on the parking lot. He will follow her car to the nearest gasoline station then he will just leave his big

bike. His driver will pick it up and he will bring it near Stacey's house later.

Then his jaw clenched. She just got out and now she is talking to the man who was waiting outside the

bar.

Fucking bastard! He cursed under his breath.

He is grinding his teeth. His hands are gripping the steering wheel of his big bike. He will give them five

minutes to talk. If i they will take longer than that.. he will definitely do something.

***

"Let's talk over coffee if you don't want to eat dinner." Tyler said in a coaxing voice.

Stacey didn't answer immediately. She casually roamed her eyes around the parking lot. Derick might

be around somewhere.

" Mind if I take a rain check on that? Eve and I are going out. She is already waiting for me at our

meeting place." she lied.

Tyler combed his hair with his hand. " Okay. But can I give you a ride? We can talk in the car."

She bit the inside of her lower lip. "Thank you but I drove my car here. Why don't you just pick me from

the house tomorrow and we can eat out. Anyway, tomorrow is a Saturday. We can have lunch

somewhere." she suggested.

His face lit up. "Great! I would love that! I hope I can spend more time with you. We can go sightseeing

after lunch. " He sounds hopeful.

She stopped herself from sighing. She just nodded. She can't always refuse his invitations. She'll have

guilt feelings if she will do that. Tyler had never treated her badly even at the office.

"I'll walk you to your car." he offered.

Nick was about to drive near them when he saw them heading towards Stacey's car.

That was fucking close! He murmured after blowing air through his mouth in relief.

He really should be more level-headed. His jealousy needs to be controlled . He can't think straight

when jealousy strikes. He might do something really stupid which could ruin all his plans if he will not

keep a cool head.

(Stacey)

She waited for Tyler to leave before she maneuvered her car. She can't risk it. He might follow her. She

drove to the gasoline station where Derick said he would meet her. The station is more or less 500

meters from the bar. She parked a little far from the station. It's a little bright and she wonders if she will

see his face later. He didn't say if she will have to put her sleep mask on. .Then she heard someone

knocked on her window. She is on the driver seat. She didn't turn her head to look at the window. She

was staring straight ahead.

One..two..three..four..five...

After five knocks, she slowly moved her head to the left. She saw a dark figure in a helmet.

She knows it's him.

Her heart thumped. He made a gesture for her to open the window. She slowly did while she held her

breath.

"I'll drive honey." he said in his croaky voice.

She just nodded. Just knowing that he is actually here with her, made her lips and throat dry. She

moved to the passenger seat without getting out of the car then unlock the door.

As if in a trance, with her mouth a little open, she watched as he got in .It's a little dark so she can't

figure out what he is wearing. She was able to feel his body before so she knows how hard and firm his

muscles are. She moistened her lips.

"Hi honey. Please put on your sleep mask." he said throatily.

She fumbled inside her bag while her eyes are still on him. She can't seem to stop staring at him. Even

with his helmet on, he still looks sexy .

Through his helmet, Nick on one hand ran his eyes on her pretty face. The street lamp nearby lit the

inside though her vehicle is heavily tinted. He helped her put her sleep mask on.

He made sure that she can't see anything through the sleep mask before he removed his helmet. he

placed it on the backseat.

Almost trembling with excitement, he pulled Stacey towards him. "Time to greet you properly honey."

he said hoarsely and he kissed her neck.
