His Beautiful Addiction

Tiana\'s head turned to him and her eyes widened,

Package all what?

Was he being serious right now, Nicklaus wasn\'t even looking at her, he watched them put all the shoes into a large bag and he took out his credit card and gave it to one of the attendants.

\'\'Thank you for your purchase sir, have a nice day. \'\' The attendant greeted as put the bag of shoes in the trunk of the car. Tiana didn\'t speak until the attendant had gone, then Nicklaus turned to her with a grin,

\'\'Why are you glaring, beautiful? \'\' Nicklaus asked, leaning closer to her face. Tiana didn\'t move she just continued watching him, then suddenly she raised her hand and pinched his cheek. Nicklaus drew backwards immediately and burst into laughter;

\'\'Ha ha beautiful; such strength! \'\' He laughed as Tiana glared at him, not even speaking. She opened the car door and sat in, feigning annoyance, when in reality, she was happy.

\'\'You know, you\'re so cute when you\'re angry; I need to take a picture of your face right now.\'\'

Nicklaus spoke as he sat down in the car, dipping his hand into his pocket, he took out his phone;\'\'

\'\'don\'t you even dare! \'\' Tiana\'s frown turned into a light chuckle as she tried to take the phone from him, when she couldn\'t get the phone, she slumped back on her seat.

\'\'Thanks. For the shoes. \'\' She said, staring at her hands.

Nicklaus watched her for a second, a sweet smile stretching his lips, then as though he thought of something, he leaned closer to her, and in the next second, he took a picture of both of them, and it was at the same time Tiana looked up, making their eyes look towards the camera.

\'\'Yah! \'\' Tiana yelled when she realized what Nicklaus had done.

Nicklaus grinned as he stared at the picture; \'\'So beautiful. \'\' He commented as he gazed at the picture, piquing Tiana\'s interest.

\'\'Let me see. \'\' Tiana leaned closer to see the picture, but Nicklaus smirked, raising his hand up;

\'\'No. \'\' He laughed at her expression, and then put his phone into his pocket, starting the ignition.

…

\'\'Happy birthday grandpa! \'\'

The family exclaimed as Diana held grandpa\'s hand as they walked into the parlor. There was a visible smile on his face as he laughed heartily.

This was his best birthday celebration because all the members of his family were home. His eyes scanned through the faces, and his joy knew no bounds.

\'\'Wow, when did this place get decorated, I\'m sure I didn\'t see this last night? \'\'

Grandpa asked; when he realized the changes in the interior design of the house.

\'\'It was a surprise. \'\' Diana said, a smile on her face. It was his seventieth birthday; each year they get to see him smile brightly was a blessing to them. Grandma was sixty six, but she didn\'t even look that, given the kind of treatment her body underwent. She looked more like a forty five year old woman.

\'\'Happy birthday darling \'\' Grandma walked to him with a beautiful, kissing him on the lips, and hugging him closely,

\'\'Awnn \'\' Diana exclaimed by the side, and the others laughed;

\'\'This is for you. \'\' She said, handing him a package.

\'\'Wow, darling, thank you, I\'ll open this later. \'\'

He said, walking to a couch and sitting down.

\'\'Grandpa, happy birthday \'\' Michelle and Douglas presented their gifts, the package was very large, Tiana wondered what was inside. The next was Elizabeth and Charles her husband, and then the children.

\'\'Happy birthday Grandpa \'\' Tiana smiled as she leaned, giving him a warm hug. She took the gifts they had bought earlier and gave it to him.

\'\'Thank you, thank you all of you, I\'m so touched; I don\'t think I\'ll die anytime soon. \'\' He exclaimed with a wonderful smile and everyone laughed;

\'\'I\'m so happy I have such a wonderful family, Diana, carry all these to my room; I want to open them when I\'m alone, for my eyes only. \'\'

He spoke and everyone burst out laughing.

After breakfast that morning, everyone went to their rooms to prepare for the party.

\'\'Is Alex coming? \'\' Diana asked Mia as she looked at herself in the mirror, she sighed when she heard her question,

\'\'Yeah, I don\'t even know how to tell him not to, I\'m so scared that Nicklaus will see us both together. \'\'

Diana chuckled mockingly at her reply;

\'\'What do you mean? He wouldn\'t even notice you. \'\' Mia\'s face paled when she heard her reply; she turned to her with a ferocious glare;

\'\'Why don\'t you ever say something nice? \'\'

She asked angrily; and Diana laughed. \'\'Because I\'m realistic maybe?\'\'

Mia rolled her eyes; \'\'that woman looks nice though, I would have liked her if she wasn\'t seeing Nicklaus, too bad. \'\'

\'\'Tiana? \'\'

Diana asked as she applied her touched her makeup on the vanity.

\'\'yeah, she\'s pretty, but I hate her. \'\'

Mia thinned her lips and then pouted them as she spoke; checking whether there were any lines on them, she felt satisfied when she saw none. She was wearing a limited edition Beyoncé\'s secret red lipstick; she would be disappointed if there were any lines.

\'\'Oh God, can we just enjoy today without being hateful, it\'s grandpa\'s birthday for crying out loud!\'\'

Diana exclaimed her eyes widening, standing up from the couch, she walked towards Mia by the mirror.

\'\'If you don\'t want Alex again, you can put in a word for me, I like him. \'\'

She whispered in her ear. She was only joking but she wanted to see Mia\'s reaction. Mia turned to her with a ferocious glare;

\'\'You! Don\'t even think about it! \'\'

She scolded angrily and Diana burst out laughing;

\'\' You see yourself, you don\'t want him to be with another woman and yet you have eyes for another man, you are very silly!\'\'

Mia rolled her eyes at her;

\'\'Whatever, I like Alex too, so I won\'t let you have him. \'\'

\'\'Tsk, you\'re so selfish! I\'m going downstairs. \'\'
