Chapter 228 - Jealous

She had her boyfriend by her side but she was talking to Nicklaus as though she had known him for a very long time. The way she talked, laughed, even the way she moved her body, was all provocative. Tania grabbed her cup of wine and gulped it down, but her throat still felt dry.

When she couldn't take it anymore, she stood up;

''Baby, I'm not feeling too well, let's go back in.''

She didn't even glance at the woman as she spoke. Nicklaus turned to her looking very concerned;

''you're not feeling well? Alright, we'll be going in now. ''

He smiled at the couple, standing up and picking his phone from the table;

''Oh, sorry dear;'' the woman's face dimmed as though she was unhappy that Tiana wasn't feeling well, but instantly she turned to Nicklaus with a smile;

''Let's exchange contacts so we can keep in touch; '' as soon as she said the words, Tiana who was trying to hold the rage in just turned around and started walking out of the restaurant, not waiting for Nicklaus anymore.

'' Sorry; '' Nicklaus said to the woman and quickly followed after Tiana. She wasn't walking very fast, so he caught up to her after a while.

''Beautiful, what's wrong? ''

He asked, his hand going around her waists, Tiana did not reply neither did she take away his hand;

They walked quietly back to the hotel and to their room. Tiana did not even say a word. She quietly took off her clothes, brushed her teeth, changed into her nightwear, and lay on the bed, covering herself with the duvet.

Nicklaus stepped out of the bathroom and his eyes fell on her quiet body on the bed. She had not said a word to him since she got into the room and even though he wanted to pretend that nothing was wrong, he knew that there was something wrong.

He retraced his actions and he knew she was mad because he talked with the woman at the restaurant. He didn't want to engage her at first but when she talked about her job and hobby which was drawing, he couldn't help talking with her. He never intended to talk to her after that and he was sure never going to give her his number, their discussion was going to end there that was why he didn't bother to ask for her name, but it seems his wife was not having it at all, and now she was very mad at him.

After changing into his nightwear, he lay beside her on the bed; Tiana's body stiffened as he lay down beside her, she didn't move and pretended to be asleep.

Nicklaus stared at her for a little while before he drew closer and put his arm around her waists pulling her to him.

''I'm sorry… ''

Her body was stiff in his arms and he knew she was awake but she did not reply.

''I'm very sorry for engaging in a discussion with that woman, it would never happen again. ''

He whispered and his tone sounded very sad, Tiana bit her lower lip, still not wanting to talk to him.

Nicklaus took in a deep breath; ''I never intended to take her number or talk to her after that, I just talked with her just for the moment, I'm so sorry for making you feel bad; ''

Tiana's hands fisted on her sides, she was so angry before, and whenever she was this angry, she just kept quiet and hold it all in, because if she was forced to talk at that moment, she would say things she didn't mean. But right now, after hearing his words, all the anger in her heart dissipated; but that didn't mean she wasn't going to yell at him;

''I was sitting beside you and you were so engrossed with another woman, as though I didn't exist. ''

She finally spoke and Nicklaus mentally thanked his stars, 

''Beautiful, I was holding your hand all the while and I kissed it a few times; ''

Tiana pouted, now she remembered he was actually holding her hand, but watching them at that moment, she didn't realize his actions; she was just filled with anger and jealousy.

'' didn't you see the way she was smiling at you; she was clearly interested in you! And she didn't even give me the respect as your wife; she was openly flirting with my husband! ''

Now Tiana voiced it out, she wanted to go back there and scratch that woman's face, but she didn't blame her though, that was one of the things involved in being with a handsome man.

Nicklaus leaned into her hair, breathing in; ''I'm sorry, I didn't even realize she was flirting because you were in my mind all the while, but that doesn't change the fact that I ignored you, so I'm very sorry. ''

Tiana pouted, not wanting to forgive him easily;

''Beautiful… '' Nicklaus called when he saw she was quiet but she didn't reply;

He paused for a second before he leaned in and kissed her neck;

''it would never happen again okay? '' He said but she didn't reply neither did she push him away; Nicklaus took it as a 'go-ahead' so his hand slid into her clothes and he caressed her belly upwards, cupping her b.r.e.a.s.ts in his palm, he placed wet kisses on her neck and up to her cheeks. Tiana m.o.a.ned inaudibly as his hands rubbed against her n.i.p.p.l.es; she turned around, her back against the bed, and her eyes stared at his face;

''It won't happen again? ''

Nicklaus shook his head; ''Never; ''

''you promise? ''

Tiana was already turned on, but she didn't want to give in easily so she asked with a frown on her face;

''Yeah, I promise. '' As soon as she heard his reply, she pulled him down and kissed his lips. It was slow and sloppy at first but in a few seconds, their clothes were being tossed around the room and soon they were completely n.a.k.e.d under the sheets.
