His Beautiful Addiction

Michael knocked on the door a few more times but Diana didn't reply. He knew she was awake because he heard some footsteps in her room a moment ago.

It was past ten in the morning, and he wanted to see her before going to work.

Contemplating for a moment, he turned the knob and the door opened. Seems she forgot she the door was left open. 

Diana cursed internally when she heard the door open, she totally forgot to lock the door. She could feel blood rushing up to her cheeks and she knew he would realize she was faking her sleep.

She heard his footsteps approach and her hands gripped the corners of her duvet.

Michael stopped by the side of her bed and sat down beside her, his cologne wafting into her nostrils, it seems he was dressed for work already.

His hand brushed away her disheveled hair from her face, and he leaned down and kissed her cheeks.

'' I'm going to work, but I'll come back early, need to take Caesar to the vet, he's sick. ''

At the mention of Caesar being sick, Diana's eyes flung open and she turned to him with shock,

''uh? He's sick? '' she totally forgot that she was pretending to be asleep. Michael smirked when he saw her expression.

Diana realized herself and fell back to the bed closing her eyes.

Michael chuckled, after a moment, he commented;

'' I didn't see anything. '' That was not possible but he wanted to say something to make her feel better.

Diana pouted, ''so how did I get into your shirt?''

Michael grinned and scratched his head,

"Well, I did see but I didn't look too much. ''

'' ah! '' Diana cried and covered her face with the duvet, she was so embarrassed.

''your body is so gorgoeus, there's nothing to be shy ab…''

''stop talking!! '' Diana wished the ground could open and swallow her completely. She had never been this ashamed all her life.

Michael swallowed his laugh, it wasn't funny yesterday but now it was so funny.

''What exactly did I do? '' Diana asked after a while, she wanted to know how she got into his clothes in the first place.

''You don't want to know. ''

'' Tell me already!! I can't even fix the dots, all I remember is leaving the party and then my brain goes blank.'' Diana peeked at him from the duvet, she tried to pretend that she didn't notice the naughty smirk on his lips.

This man... He wasn't making her situation any better.

'' well, '' Michael cleared his throat,

''you wanted to take a shower badly that you started undressing in the car. ''

''wh…what!'' Diana's eyes bulged out.

''but you slept off and I took you to bed, little did I know you would wake up and come to my bathroom while I was bathing, wearing your sexy lingerie. ''

Diana's cheeks burned and she looked away from him,

Couldn't he be comforting at least.

"and then you asked to shower with me. '' Diana shut her eyes in embarrassment. Michael laughed,

''should I continue? '' he asked with a chuckle and Diana shook her head,

''No, I've heard enough. '' she gulped. So she must have gotten off her clothes and bathed, so did they shower together?

''Um, did we…''

Diana gulped,

Michael's manly laugh sounded in the room, ''you won't be dressed if we did that and you sure won't be able to walk. ''

Diana glared at him, "that's not what I wanted to ask!''

He was the one that said that but why was she feeling embarrassed on his behalf?

"I just wanted to know if we showered together. ''

Michael tilted his head as he stared at her with a grin.

'' would you like it if we showered together?''

Diana's eyes locked in his and she looked away immediately. Her cheeks were going to pop from blushing too much.

''I don't know…'' she murmured.

Michael laughed, this woman was just so cute.

'' so did we? '' her eyes turned to him expectantly, as she it itched to know the answer to her question.

''Um… I can't remember anything after that, I think I was a bit drunk too. '' he scratched his head making Diana glare at him,

''stop joking! Tell me already!" she didn't like to be kept on her toes.

Michael laughed and kissed her forehead before standing up from the bed,

''I made tea for you, drink it before it gets cold.'' Michael smiled,

'' There's sandwich and juice on the kitchen table, eat before you leave for work.''

Diana sat up immediately, glaring at him, "stop avoiding the question!'' she pouted but Michael ignored her,

''I'll miss you for the rest of today." He smiled,

Diana rolled her eyes,

"I want to tell you to come over but that would be selfish of me.''

Her eyes stared at him, he was serious now.

"Call me when you leave."

"I won't." she pouted but Michael lowered and kissed her lips in return.

''I'll call you every five minutes then."

He smirked and stood up, walking towards the door,

He smiled at her as he closed the door slowly, Diana pouted and she fell back to the bed after the door shut.

So, did they shower together or not?

…

Gwen ate quietly from her plate of cake as she watched a movie. She was so engrossed in the movie that she didn't notice when Veronica sat beside her.

"what's the name of the show?"

Veronica asked, drawing her attention to her. Gwen glanced at her and replied, "The Queen's Gambit."

"Oh, I've heard a lot about it. Quite famous.''

"mm…" Gwen nodded, not wanting to be distracted.

Veronica smiled and stared at the wide screen in front of her. She wasn't interested in the movie at all, in fact she had another reason for being there.

"when will your sister be returning?" she had had her suspicions but she didn't want to be too sure, but right now when she mentioned Tiana, the look on Gwen's face told her she wasn't wrong at all.

A smile washed Veronica's lips.

"In a few weeks, '' Gwen replied, filling her mouth with cake. The last thing she wanted to think about now was her sister having her best time.

"Mm… The boss dotes on her a lot. He doesn't look at any other woman, it's like she's the only woman he sees. So cute.''

She watched Gwen grip the fork in her hand a little firmer and her Jae tightened.

"Do you know, before she came, the boss was very cold, he didn't smile to anyone and everywhere felt so cold when he was home, but suddenly, like a flash everything changed, we couldn't believe it. Your sister literally has him around her fingers…''

Gwen could not take it anymore and she dropped her fork in the glass plate and it made a piercing sound, making Veronica's words stop in her throat.

Gwen blinked and turned to her,

"Can we not talk about my sister? And I really want to watch this movie, can you not talk about anything? ''

Veronica smiled when she saw her outburst.

''You don't like your sister…"

Gwen's face paled when she heard her.

"what do you mean by that? '' she asked with a stern expression. This was no longer funny.

"I saw the way you looked at them that day they left for their vacation, and it wasn't a happy look."

Shock flashed through Gwen's eyes and she tried to mask it immediately.

"Veronica, I won't tolerate you speaking I'll of my sister or me. You know one word from me and you're sacked from here, right? ''

Gwen arched her brow. Veronica had no concrete evidence, so she could easily get rid of her if she wanted.

"yeah that's true or I can help you get what you need."

She smiled and stood up,

"I'm on your side Gwen. Come to my room tonight if you need my help."

Veronica smiled and walked away leaving Gwen dumbfounded.

Gwen stared at her until she disappeared through a door and she fisted her hands, a vein popping on her forehead.

…

Veronica stared at the clock, it was past eleven and Gwen was not yet in her room. She paced from one side of the room to the other, what if she didn't come?

That would mean that she would lose her job here, did she make a mistake?

Veronica bit her fingers as her heart pounded. If she didn't come, then she would be in a lot of trouble.

Was she too greedy this time?

Just as she thought about it, she heard a faint knock on her door.

Her eyes turned to the door immediately and she smiled.

Walking to it, she opened the door.

"Come in." Gwen walked into the room and sat on the bed.

"start talking." Gwen said, crossing her arms.

Veronica smiled and locked the door.

"First I have to know what she did to you and what you want."
