His Beautiful Addiction

''Hope you don't mind? '' Hazel asked, a sweet smile on her lips. Claire stiffened; she didn't know if the smile was real or not. Hazel looked very sweet but she couldn't help feeling as though her actions were intentional.

''No, don't worry. It is fine, as long as you're happy. ''

''Oh, thank God. I was thinking you were going to be mad at me for changing it. The thing is, I've dated someone who had a best friend and after I found out that he was screwing his best friend, I became really skeptical about female best friends. But I'm so glad that you're not the same.''

Claire stiffened at her words, and she forced a chuckle.

''Haha, don't worry; Leo and I aren't like that. You have nothing to worry about. ''

'' Thank you, Claire, I'm glad to hear that. Alright, will be going up, see ya '' She beamed as she pressed on the elevator button.

''Yeah, bye '' Claire waved as she watched her enter the elevator. Her hands hung in the air before it finally fell to her side, tears blurring her eyes.

…

''Wow! '' Tiana's lips gaped as she stared at the infinity pool. They just came back from a trip to the shopping mall. Nicklaus had said she should pick anything she wanted, from clothes, shoes, bags, and jewelry.

Tiana already had a lot at home, so she just picked a few and then she shopped a lot of couple wears for them. Couple tees, couple night wears, matching slippers, and bracelets which she made him put on as soon as they bought it. They finally ate a sumptuous meal at the Bread Street Kitchen and after resting for a while, Tiana opted to see the infinity pool.

''This is gorgeous but damn scary!'' She laughed as her hand found his and she gripped it tight.

Nicklaus chuckled; ''yeah, and the city view is pretty too; ''

''Yeah, I just can't put my head around how this was built. '' Her eyes stared in wonder as they walked along the pathway;

''Wanna swim? '' Tiana turned to him in shock;

''Hell no, not getting into that. '' she laughed shaking her head. Nicklaus chuckled;

''Would be a shame to come here and not swim in the pool, don't you think? ''

''What shame? I'm not getting into the pool, no way. And besides, it's going to be cold, so I would just freeze. ''

Nicklaus laughed; ''well yeah, but the human body warms up the pool, and the sun is out today, so it's not going to be too cold. ''

''whatever; I'm not getting in. It's wonderful by the way. ''

''Mm, let's take pictures if we're not going to swim. ''

Tiana smiled as Nicklaus pulled her close to him and raised his phone to take a selfie,

''Tch, how can you be prettier than me, see those lashes! '' Tiana groaned when she saw Nicklaus looked prettier than her in the photo.

''Beautiful, this face is yours and besides I'm not prettier, I just have longer lashes. ''

 ''and cuter lips; '' she pouted;

''No, yours is cuter, ''

''and a sexier smile… ''

Nicklaus laughed, ''wifey, stop overthinking, you're gorgeous, come here… ''

He drew her to him and kissed her lips, taking a picture in the process.

''This one is hot; '' she blushed as she peered at the picture he took. The way he kissed her made her blush, it was so endearing.

''Let us take another; '' she said and they took many more. When they were done, they strolled to the 'Gardens by the Bay'. Marina Bay Sands was quite a huge place, so finding the gardens took quite a while.

They went to the cloud forest first. It was a sight to behold, from the beautiful intricate flowers to the indoor mountain, from where they could see the mystical foliage, vibrant orchids, and even carnivorous plants. But the most beautiful feature of the dome was the waterfall, towering 30 meters high. Tiana couldn't help being awed by the sight. She made sure to take pictures of every place. When they were exhausted, they retired for the day.

They ate dinner by 6, but two hours later, Tiana was bored again.

''Let's go to the bar. ''

She said to Nicklaus as she leaned on the bathroom door, watching him shave his overgrown beards;

''aren't you tired? '' Nicklaus asked, he thought she might want to sleep after the long day, but he was surprised when he heard her.

Tiana shook her head, walking to him; she wrapped her hands around his torso.

''No, I want to get drunk… and fuck you tonight.''

She said, whispering the last part, her head placed against his back. Nicklaus chuckled; one thing about her was that she wasn't shy with words. ''alright, let me get done with this. ''

''Okay, ''

In a few minutes, they were walking into a bar. They ordered drinks and sat down;

''Jeez! This is so strong! '�� She coughed after she took her first shot, her face turning a shade of red.

''Haha, beautiful, you've not started drinking yet and you're already so red; '' Nicklaus chuckled. Her flushed face made her look too cute so he took out his phone and took a picture.

''ah, no, don't take a picture! '' Tiana covered her face with both hands, trying to hide her face from him.

''Come on, you look cute. '' Nicklaus laughed and he switched to the video recorder, ''

''Are you done? '' She asked after a while and Nicklaus nodded, ''yeah I'm done, ''

Tiana brought down her hands, but she quickly put it back when she saw his phone was still up;

''baby, stop! People are watching! '' she laughed, turning away from him;

Suddenly she heard some applause in the room and she brought down her hands and was surprised to see a man, with a line of workers, standing beside him;

 ''This night concludes our anniversary week and as we said earlier, we are presenting a gift to the best couple of the night. ''

Tiana turned to Nicklaus, surprise in her eyes, she didn't know that they just walked into an event, but they were not winning anyway, they were just coming in.

''This wine is dated hundred years, and it has the spice to take you to your dream world and back. The perfect wine for a steamy night; ''
