His Beautiful Addiction-Chapter 399 - I Missed You. Alot

"I want to hear her voice at least."

Tiana said,

??

Nicklaus nodded,

"Alright, I'll try to get across to her, but in the mean time, eat well and do your exercises, okay?"

Tiana nodded.

"If you need anything, the guards will be outside, you can call Dan, he'll help you with anything you want, I'll call you when I'm done, okay?"

She smiled, "Okay."

The next day, when Tiana opened her eyes, he was not there, he left early. After breakfast and her exercises, she kept herself busy on the phone.

Claire had said she would come but she didn't, so she was bored the whole day.

Tiana's eyes widened when she saw the amount of followings she had on Instagram.

Almost 5 million, she was that popular…

She didn't know how to feel about it. That meant, one in five people knew her wherever she went.

She scrolled through the comments on her pictures, most of it were her fans praying for her to get well soon.

She smiled, a thought came into her mind and she quickly searched her name up on Google.

The top stories were about her accident, she scrolled through them slowly and stopped on a picture.

Her heart beat faster as she watched the picture closely, it was the picture that was taken on the day of the accident, the more she stared at it, the louder her heart beat until her head began to hurt.

Quickly, she closed the screen, shutting her eyes.

What was that? She thought,

She heard a voice in her head, the voice was very familiar but she couldn't decipher what the person had said.

Tiana rubbed her eyes, a sigh leaving her lips.

So much for digging into the past, she would just let her brain remember on its own.

It was almost dark but Nicklaus wasn't back. She was all alone in the room, staring at her phone.

Remembering Nicklaus had said to call Dan if she needed anything, she quickly called him,

Dan walked into the room almost as his name left her lips,

"You called for me,"

He said, walking towards her like a diligent servant.

"I want to read something, a novel perhaps, I'm bored."

"Okay, will be right back."

"And buy me some snacks on your way back." she added.

"Um, I'm not sure you're well enough to eat junk foods," he said respectfully. The last thing he wanted was Nicklaus lashing out on him for making her fall sick.

"The doctor says It's allowed."

"I'm sorry, but we'll have to wait for Nicklaus' approval."

Tiana frowned,

"Or maybe his handing you your sack letter,"

Fear flashed through Dan's eyes,

Tiana smiled,

"I don't think you want that, do you?"

"Not at all, Ma'am."

He replied. Seems she woke up fiercer than before.

Tiana laughed, "I thought as much, so what are you getting me?"

And in the next hour, , she had a cup of ice cream in hand, some meat pie by the side and reading from a novel.

She wondered the kind of taste Dan had, of all the books he could find, he went for this ancient fantasy novel with no romance.

Tiana just read through the pages to keep herself busy.

Her eyes looked at the wall clock occasionally.

It was past ten and he was not back. Her phone had not rang either.

She had finished the snacks and was stuck with the uninteresting book.

After sometime she scoffed,

He said he was going to call, but it was already past ten but he had not called yet.

If he wasn't going to call, why tell her he was, and make her wait?

Wait a minute? Was she waiting for his call? 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

Tiana closed the book as her eyes widened.

You don't say…

She laughed when she realized she actually had him in mind almost all day.

Then she frowned, should she call him?

Was something wrong?

She thought, she didn't want to seem clingy too early, but Claire had said he waited over a year for her, calling him to know what was wrong would make him happy.

Picking her phone she tapped on her contacts.

What did she save his name as?

She typed Nicklaus, but nothing appeared, deleting it, she typed hubby, and before she could complete it, his number appeared.

Smiling she called him.

The phone rang a few times, before Nicklaus picked it.

"Hey,"

His voice sounded excited.

Tiana frowned. Maybe she did wrong by calling him, it seemed he was enjoying himself wherever he was.

"Um, I just wanted to check up on you, you said you were going to call, but you didn't… so was just wondering if you were okay…"

Okay, maybe she shouldn't have added that line…

"You missed me? …"

Nicklaus said, and Tiana bit her lip, she knew he would say that.

"Not at all." She replied defensively.

Nicklaus chuckled,

"I would have loved to hear you say you missed me."

There was silence and Tiana began to feel guilty, should she have said yes?

"I'm sorry for not calling earlier, I've been away from work a lot so my schedule was very tight today, was just leaving a meeting, and I thought you were asleep that's why I didn't call."

Tiana looked at her hand,

He sounded like a faithful husband, explaining to his wife why he was back home late.

"I'm glad you're okay, was worried for a bit."

She said,

"So you missed me?"

Tiana smiled,

"Yeah, a little."

Nicklaus chucked, "I missed you like hell,"

Just as he said it, the door to the ward opened and Nicklaus walked in the phone still in his ear.

Tiana looked at him, she was still smiling. He was smiling too.

"You didn't tell me you were almost here."

She said shyly, bringing the phone down from her ear.

Nicklaus still had the smirk on his lips, he was holding a few bags, and his eyes never strayed from her face.

"What did you get?"

Tiana looked at the bags in his hands,

"Fruits for you." He said, as he sat beside her, still smiling.

"Why are you smiling like that, she asked, laughing a little.

"Because I'm happy, can you say you missed me again, I want to hear you say it?"

Nicklaus asked, if only she knew how happy it made him feel. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Tiana chuckled,

"No, you already heard it once, I don't miss you anymore, you're here now."

"But I want to hear it again, uh, please."

Tiana looked at him, he had that look in his eyes that was impossible to resist. That made her only want to make him happy.

"I missed you. A lot."

Nicklaus laughed.

"Then I'll take the day off tomorrow and stay with you, I don't want you to fall sick from missing me too much."

Tiana laughed,

"I can survive without you, don't skip work because of me."

Nicklaus smiled. This was the freest he had seen her with him, since she woke up.

Even though she couldn't remember him, he wouldn't say he hated it, because she was liking him already, and it made him feel like he was winning her heart all over again.

He smiled as he watched her eat some strawberries.

"I got Dan to buy me some snacks and get a novel for me, I hope you won't punish him for that."

"No, he already told me."

"Oh. Okay, guess he's more loyal to you, did he also tell you I threatened him?"

"Yeah,"

Tiana laughed, "Wonderful."

She said, taking a strawberry fruit and giving to Nicklaus, but instead of him taking it with his hand, he opened his mouth.

Tiana's eyes widened a little,

"My hands are dirty," Nicklaus said, and she swallowed, placing the fruit in his mouth.

Nicklaus took it and in the process, his lips brushes against her fingers.

Tiana withdrew her hand, and looked down at her plate.

It was just an innocent action, don't think much of it…

She tried to tell herself but her ears were getting hot.

Damn, she should have not tried to share,

"Thank you, I want some more."

Nicklaus said, opening his lips again.

Tiana looked at him, his gaze looked innocent but why was she reading a thousand meanings into it.

Taking another one, she propped it into his mouth, and that was how she fed him the fruits.

When she was done, Nicklaus took the plates away.

"Did you later meet with the doctor?"

Tiana asked,

"Oh that's true, I don't think he's on duty now, will meet him tomorrow."

She nodded as he sat beside her.

"I think I remember something."

Nicklaus looked at her, immediately he sat down,

"What?"

"Did you know who caused my accident?"

Nicklaus was quiet.

"Yes, and I made sure he won't be able to do it again."

Tiana remained quiet.

"I think I saw my sister that day, but I can't remember when. I think I saw her standing by the roadside, before I blacked out."

She said, closing her eyes as though trying to remember.

"You both were going to your mother's anniversary, so maybe that's why you saw her."

"Is that so?"

Nicklaus nodded.

"You said you'll get across to her, did you later do that?"

Nicklaus gripped the chair a little tightly.

"Um… was occupied with work, that's why I didn't. But I will tomorrow."

Tiana stared at him.

"Why is everyone avoiding my sister topic, wait is my sister dead?"

"No, what? Not at all!"

Tiana laughed,

"I thought as much. I really want to talk to her, if you can get her to come back sooner, it'll be better okay,"

Tiana smiled and he nodded.

"Okay."

How else would he distract her from asking about Gwen. He was going to tell her but at least he wanted her to regain most of her memories first.

She would not understand whatever he was saying without her memories.

...

So guys!

I've started a new book that is why updates for this one have reduced. I've completed the story already in the privileged chapters, but there is a side story, which is equally as interesting.
