His Lovely Obsession (English)

Chapter 40

(STACEY)

She could hardly remember what happened after her encounter with Tanya. She just realized that she

is in her car when her cell phone started ringing. Nick's number is flashing. She ignored the call and

instead, she maneuvered her car out of the basement parking. She wants to get away from him today

and she doesn't care if he fires her for leaving the office. She will go back to work tomorrow. She has

no idea where to go so she called Eve.

(At Eve's place)

"Are you really sure you want to drink?" her friend asked as she opens a bottle of vodka.

"Yeah. Anyway we'll just stay here so it's fine." she answered.

Eve shrugged her shoulders. "Okay. Maybe it's better if you get into something more comfortable. Wait,

let me get a top and skirt for you. "

She just nodded. She doesn't really drink but she wants to blow off steam after what happened at her

boss' office and what Tanya said to her. It is very painful for her to discover Nick's real intention to think

that she was sort of cheating on Derick with him.

Eve gave her a white sleeveless body fit shirt and a short black skirt. She stood up from the carpet to

change in the bathroom. Eve is on the couch pouring some alcohol in a glass when she got back. She

carelessly sat on the sofa too. She grabbed one throw pillow to cover her thighs because the skirt is

way too short for her. She put it on her lap.

Eve gave her the glass with vodka. "Now tell me what's wrong."

She didn't respond immediately. She drank the booze and when she finished it off, she leaned forward

to get the bottle to put some more in her empty glass. She drank two half-filled glasses before

munching on some chips.

Her friend's left brow arched. " Geez girlfriend! I guess whatever is bothering you is something serious!"

She sighed then poured some more vodka in her glass. Maybe after another glass, she would be able

to open up to her.

"But you know what? There is something I noticed just now girlfriend."

She took a sip before turning to her."What?"

"If I didn't know you well, I would think that you already have a boyfriend." Eve's eyes are narrowed.

She is looking at her with an odd expression.

It was her turn to raise a brow before gulping some booze again. " What are you talking about?" she

asked with a light laugh.

"Hey! Take it easy on the alcohol! We are not going anywhere so there's no rush! I don't want you

passing out on me. We have some talking to do."

"Okay. Sorry." she apologized with a giggle. She feels a little light-headed already.

"Your boobs seem to be bigger and your eyes don't look innocent unlike before. Did you have sex

already?" Eve asked.

She frowned. She didn't see that question coming. Then maybe due to the effect of the alcohol, she

just tittered continuously. And to her friend's surprise, she started laughing. She laughed and laughed

until she felt her sides are gonna split from laughter.

Eve's just sat quietly while looking at her. She has a slight frown. When she finally stopped laughing,

she wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Why do I have a feeling that you are hiding things from me. That is so unlike you. " Eve pursed her lips

disapprovingly.

"Don't worry . One of these days I will confide something to you but not tonight. I just want to relax and

drink. " she smiled then filled her glass again with the alcohol.

The door bell rang so Eve rose from the sofa to check who is at the door .

She swirled the liquid in her glass and was about to take a gulp again when she heard a man's voice.

"Miss Hotness?"

She raised her eyes to the new comer. Her smile widened as she looks at Blake's good-looking face.

His brows are knitted.

"Blake!" she called him huskily.

He sat next to her. He got the bottle of vodka and her glass from her. She tried to reach for them and

her breasts accidentally came in contact with his left arm. Eve rolled her eyes when she saw Blake's

reaction. She was about to say something but her fiance, Lance is calling her on the phone.

Before going to her room to take the call she said to her cousin, " Don't take advantage Blake! She is

drunk!" She then proceeded to her bedroom, leaving them.

"Blake! Give those back!" she tried to get the bottle and glass from him.

The throw pillow on her lap fell and her thighs were exposed. Blake's eyes went to them. She didn't see

the expression which crossed his face. After a second or two, he picked up the pillow from the carpet

and covered her lap with it again.

Since she feels that he won't give her the booze , she just leaned her back on the sofa while she looks

at him with smoky eyes.

"How long have you been drinking? You are almost roaring drunk! " he said with a clipped tone.

She shook her head and moistened her lips. She raised her hand to tuck some hair behind her ear in a

languid fashion. Her eyes are almost lidded from the alcohol. She isn't aware on how alluring she looks

.

"God Stacey! What are you doing to yourself?" Blake asked her.He is staring at her pretty face.

She tried to focus her eyes to look at him. " Nothing. Is it a crime to drink ?" she asked innocently. She

was slurring her words.

"Are you drinking because of your boss? Did he do anything to you last night?! Where did he take you?

I wanted to follow you but some assholes slashed my tires!" he said angrily.

"Sorry to hear that." she just said. Her voice sounds breathy.

Blake just let out a heavy sigh. She looked at his handsome face. Her eyes went to his left bicep . She

had a sudden urge to run her fingers on his tattoo.

She pouted her lips. "Blake? Why did you ask me out last night?"

He tore his eyes from her face. He poured some booze in the glass then gulped it down.

"Blake?" she touched his arm.

He put some more of the vodka when he drank everything in the glass. "Did Eve say anything to you?"

he asked without looking at her.

"No, she didn't. What is it?" she asked. She tried to reach for the vodka again. "Please give me one

more shot."

Blake turned to her. She blinked twice. He is probably right that she is already blind drunk. They are

only inches apart now. And she has this feeling of wanting to prove to herself that Nick's kiss will have

the same effect on her as Blake's. Her lips are parted and Blake is looking at them. She can smell his

warm and pleasant breath.

"Stacey..." he murmured. He removed his eyes on her lips.

She bit her bottom lip while their eyes are locked on each other. Then Blake's face started to move

towards her. She just closed her eyes to wait for the kiss.

"BLAKE!!" came Eve's shrill voice.

He cursed then he rose from the sofa. He raked his fingers through his hair.

She felt Eve grabbed her arm to pull her up. "Eve..!" she complained.

"What were you doing?!" her friend asked in a displeased voice before sitting her down on the single

sofa opposite the other couch. "You stay there!" she added.

Stacey leaned her back and head and closed her eyes. She feels a little dizzy.

Eve walked to Blake who went back to the longer sofa. He is drinking some of the booze. He has a

slight frown on his handsome face.

"What was that all about ?! " she asked her cousin.

"Just chill . Nothing happened." Blake said.

"You were taking advantage of her!"

Blake looked at her with his eyes narrowed.

"You know that I will not do such a thing." he said. His voice sounded serious. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Eve rolled her eyes and made an ugly sound at the back of her throat. Then her forehead creased.

"What's that sound? Can't you hear it?" she asked as she looks around the room. She turned to

Stacey.

"Girlfriend! Where's your bag?" she asked.

Stacey opened her eyes and she pointed to the table in the small kitchen. She leaned her head again

and shut her eyes. She touched her temples. Then she heard Eve's voice again.

"Here! Your phone's been ringing! Answer it! " she told her before she asked Blake to open another

bottle of vodka.

She got her cellphone and sat straight. "I want some. " she said to Blake but he ignored her.

"Please Blake.." she requested in a breathy voice.

"No! You had more than enough!" he said in a brusque tone.

"Better answer your phone girlfriend!" Eve told her. She went to the kitchen to get more ice.

Stacey stood up and covered the short distance between the two couches. She sat next to Blake again.

She touched his arm and huskily said, " Just a little, please."

He just shook his head. " Answer your phone!" he said in a chilly voice.

She sighed and leaned the side of her head on his shoulder. Without looking at the caller, she pushed

the accept button.

"STACEY! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" came her boss' pissed voice.

Nick is breathing heavily. He had been calling her since he found out that she left the building.

According to Cherry, she will just get coffee and come back immediately.

Stacey straightened and frowned. She turned down the volume a bit. Nick is almost yelling at her.

Blake turned to look at her.

"You don't need to shout! I can hear you clearly. " She slurred .

There was silence then she heard that he is breathing heavily. "Are you drunk?! Where are you?" Nick

asked angrily.

"Who are you talking to? Are you okay?" Blake asked her with a frown and she looked at him and

nodded.

"Stacey! Who is that? Where the hell are you?" her boss asked. He seems to have his teeth clenched.

She sighed heavily. She is angry with him and she wants to piss him off too. Her image of him is a

straight talker who always shoots from the hip but why did he play with her feelings? How dare he do

that? He should have just told her directly that he only wants sex instead of saying pack of lies just to

bed her once.

"DAMMIT STACEY!" he cursed when she didn't answer him.

Maybe because of the effect of the alcohol and her feeling of anger and disgust towards him, she said,

"I am with my boyfriend so stop calling me. I will go back to work tomorrow!"

She hang up on him before he could retort.

Nick saw red with what she said.

Boyfriend? Who the fuck ..?? he angrily asked himself.

"FUCKING HELL!" he cursed furiously.
