His Beautiful Addiction

As she approached his table, Tiana took in his expression. He was staring at her like she had caught him doing something wrong; she has not seen him with such an expression before and her eyes reflexively looked down to the phone in his hands and Nicklaus instantly turned it over.

She caught his action, and a blush flushed her cheeks;

''I'm sorry for interrupting, I should have knocked. ''

She said as she pushed the file across to him; her eyes flickering over his phone.

Maybe he was watching porn, and she had just walked in without knocking, that explained his shocked expression and why he had turned the phone over as she approached. But what was he watching exactly;

Gay porn? Straight porn?

She wondered, and she pulled her eyes to his face. For him to have been so embarrassed, he must have been doing something very dirty, so it was definitely gay porn.

He has been trying his best to disperse the gay rumors so he must be that shocked because he didn't want to be discovered. Tiana concluded in her head and she forced herself not to laugh.

But he should have locked his door if he wanted to indulge in something very dirty!

It took Nicklaus three seconds to realize that she had misread his actions.

What was she thinking he was hiding? From the light blush on her cheeks, he knew it wouldn't be far from something carnal!

Nicklaus face paled, and he quickly turned the phone over again;

He picked the file she kept in front of him and pretended to be going through it; after a moment, he raised his eyes to her and saw that she was looking at his phone and he felt extremely relieved.

''Did Fredrick help you with it?''

He asked, pulling her attention to him.

''Yes, he did. '' Tiana replied, shifting her gaze to him. So he wasn't watching porn, but why was he so embarrassed?

Tiana thought in her head; she had seen the word Clinic, but she wasn't able to read the full sentence before the screen went blank; was he sick?

Could he be that embarrassed because he didn't want anyone know he was sick?

She thought, but she didn't even feel an ounce of pity for him; in fact, she wished he would be deathly ill, so her days would run faster.

''Alright, you can leave now. ''

Nicklaus said, closing the file, placing it on the table. Tiana nodded and left the office; closing the door behind her.

Nicklaus heaved a sigh of relief when the door closed. Although he didn't want her seeing what he was doing; it was way better than her thinking he was doing something nasty!

Wait, a second… was he concerned about what she thought of him now?

Nicklaus jaw fell in shock as he realized the issue wasn't as shallow as he had earlier thought.

He was a fierce and cold-blooded man. He did as he wished without a second thought and without an ounce of pity. How could a mere woman cause him so many headaches? No, he should really see a doctor; it was getting out of control.

He instantly picked up his phone and without thinking twice about it, he booked a meeting with the doctor for the next day.

….

''You're welcome to Dr. Perry's Clinic, what's your name please? ''

The woman in her fifties asked Nicklaus as he sat in front of him. His gaze was dark and there was a frown etched to his brows, his legs were crossed and he stared straight at the wall as though what he wanted to say was written there,

The woman turned to the wall, but she saw nothing fanciful on it; she turned back to Nicklaus but his frosty aura shut her lips which were about to utter some words;

She didn't know the man, but he looked intimidating. She wondered what brought such menacing looking person to her office.

It was over twenty minutes and he had still not said a thing! She was running out of patience, but she couldn't speak out of fear.

Nicklaus was contemplating on how to say the words; a lot of things were in his head, but saying it out loud was difficult;

Like, how was he going to tell her he was thinking about a woman, and he doesn't want to?

Or maybe like this…

Dr., there is someone in my head that I want out; she's occupying every inch of my being and I don't like it. She's fucking making me insane!

''Whatever the problem is, you can talk to me, I'm a doctor and my patient's issues are top secret. ''

Nicklaus eyes flickered to the woman briefly, but he still did not speak;

The woman's lips thinned as the room grew gravely quiet. If she knew that someone like that would come that day, she would have stayed home!

Just when she was about to politely ask him to leave, Nicklaus spoke;

''Do you have any pills that can keep someone out of your head?''

His brows creased seriously as he stared at the doctor in front of him.

Dr. Perry thought he was joking at first, but when she saw the seriousness of his face, she knew he was serious.

''Okay, but you have to explain your problem better so I'll know how to diagnose you properly. ''

She replied with a small smile.

Nicklaus blinked and after a few seconds, he elaborated;

''There's someone I can't stop thinking about no matter how much I try to and it's eating deep into me…''

He paused; ''I'm not this kind of person, and I don't like what she's making me become, so do you have any pills that can stop this?''

He concluded with a frustrated sigh.

'Oh, a woman…

Dr. Perry thought within her;

He didn't seem as someone who would be confused about love; he was very handsome, and he looked wealthy. Women must flock around him. What was there to be confused about?

That was surprsing!

She cleared her throat and sat up on her chair, forcing the smile which was pushing its way to her lips back down her throat;

''Okay. You must understand that at some point in your life, you will find yourself in the position of always thinking about one person in particular; this special someone that you just can't seem to get out of your mind. ''

'Special?'

Nicklaus brows creased at the doctor's words;

He scoffed internally;

Tiana was nothing special, she was just a woman whom he wanted for the time being and he would soon get rid of when he no longer needed her, there was nothing special about her.
