BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105 - I Think I Like You Too
''Oh, it's Nicklaus; I'll explain everything when I come over tomorrow okay, take care. '' Tiana whispered quickly and ended the call.
Gwen heard the phone beep signaling that the call had ended and her lips fell in shock;
She brought the phone down and when she confirmed that Tiana had really ended the call on her she chucked derisively.
She was here making herself believe there was nothing going on between them, who could have thought they were already sleeping together?!
Gwen had never felt that amount of anger and envy in her whole life, at that moment; she wished she could squeeze the living life out of Tiana.
From the moment he offered her a job paying $20k, she suspected that things would not be the same between them, she just wanted to avoid the truth, she didn't want to believe that her sister was finally greater than her; she didn't want to accept that she was dating the CEO of Howells Corporation!!
Ha!
Gwen exclaimed her face pale blue and great hate flashed through her eyes.
She felt a sharp burn on her chest, and she walked to the fridge and took out a bottle of water, gulping it down in an instant, but the pain didn't disappear, rather, it worsened.
If only she hadn't switched positions with her. If only! Gwen shook her head,
No, this wasn't happening, how did she let this opportunity slip out of her hands, what was she thinking?
Wait… did Tiana think of this?
Her brows creased as a thought entered her mind.
Was she smarter than her this time? Did she foresee that she could get into his bed?
Gwen raised her hand to her hair and gripped it hard;
She had thought Tiana was a fool, but she was mistaken, she had been the fool all along.
She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath,
Breathe…
She just needed a plan, a good plan…
Think…
She was smart, she had always been smart.
She raked her brain and instantly her eyes opened when a thought entered her mind, and a wicked smile washed her lips.
Tiana sister…
Gwen laughed lightly, evil flashing through her eyes.
Everything would have been fine if she had not switched places, but now it was like this, she left her with no choice, than to be selfish one more time.
And it was simple; she would just play her card on her at the right time.
She was not being wicked; she was just claiming what was hers from the beginning, right?
A wicked laughter left her lips as though she was a maniac, and she walked out of the kitchen with slow steps.
…
''It's over here. ''
Tiana said pointing at his phone lying on the center table.
''Okay… '' Nicklaus exclaimed walking towards her, he took the phone from the table and unlocked it,
He stood in front of her as he tapped on his phone. Tiana eyes shifted from the television and they fell on his bare chest and she gazed at the terrific ink outlining his body.
It was so beautiful, although Nicklaus was aloof, she wasn't surprised that he got a tattoo, everything he put on was the latest model and very fashionable so she wasn't surprised.
''The review for the application is done; we're having a meeting tomorrow for the final contract signing. ''
Nicklaus explained, he was expecting the email that day, he was very busy during the day, so he had not checked it, it was after he stepped out of the bathroom he remembered it.
''Hm, okay. '' Tiana replied, her eyes shifted briefly to his face but in the next second, it was back to his chest, tracing the ink downwards.
Nicklaus blinked when he noticed she was staring at his body, and he narrowed his brows.
''Does it look that good? ''
He asked with a grin, his hands at akimbo.
At his words, Tiana's cheeks flushed, and she quickly looked away from his chest.
''Hmm, yeah, it's sexy. I like guys with tattoo; I will get one myself one of these days. '���
She sat up on the couch;
'Wait, so you're saying you like me then?'' Tiana's lips fell in shock as she realized that Nicklaus had erased every other thing she said and just picked only a few lines!!
''Th… that's not what I said, I said I liked guys with tattoo…''
''And I have a tattoo? ''
Nicklaus pointed to his chest and her words stopped in throat, how did she shoot herself on the foot?
But why was her face heating? Does that mean that she likes him?
''Hey! Go wear your clothes before your towel falls off! ''
She exclaimed, pointing to the wardrobe frustratingly.
Nicklaus looked downwards and realized that he still had a towel around his waists;
''Ha ha, I'm going, but just in case…'' he paused, making sure he had her attention.
''I think I like you too. ''
With that he turned around and walked towards the wardrobe.
Tiana's hands hung in the air as his words resounded in her ears,
Did he just say he liked her?
The heat which was almost draining from her face returned with a greater force and her eyes flashed open instantly,
Did… did he just say he liked her!!!
Tiana raised her hands to her cheeks to cool her burning face, her heart racing erratically,
Nicklaus watched her sit on the same spot, her hands on her cheeks, as he wore his clothes. He could imagine the blush on her cheeks at that moment.
He never thought he could say those words, fuck, he didn't even know when he said it, now all that was left was to see her reaction, only that would tell him if she accepted him or not.
…
''So you wanted to get a tattoo?''
Nicklaus sat down beside her on the couch and started a conversation. Tiana's eyes which were gazing blankly at the television, blinked. Her mind was still filled with Nicklaus words earlier, she couldn't even contain her blush, her neck and cheeks were still red.
Nicklaus grinned when he saw her face, how could she still be blushing after so long?
