His Beautiful Addiction

…

The lovebirds returned on Sunday since Nicklaus had to work on Monday. Tiana sat as she watched him unpack their stuff. This weekend they spent together made them grow closer. They barely spent a second away from each other. And even now, she was beside him.

She was getting addicted to him, but she can't even help it.

''Diana and Michael just fixed their wedding; they would get married next week. They should have gotten married about a year ago but we wanted to wait for you to wake up.'' Nicklaus said.

Tiana smiled;

''I'm happy for them but sad that I had to make them wait for me.''

She smiled faintly, but Nicklaus caressed her chin briefly;

''Don't blame yourself, okay? It's not your fault. ''

''I know, I just wish I woke up earlier… '' she paused as she stared at him for a while;

''And that I didn't forget you. ''

Nicklaus stopped when he heard her. The last thing he wanted was for her to blame herself for what happened.

Squatting in front of her, he smiled;

''You've not changed at all. Do you know that? '' he asked, but Tiana pouted;

''How? ''

''You always beat yourself whenever something happens and blame yourself all the time. Old habits die hard, right? '' he chuckled, but Tiana wasn't laughing.

''I'm not joking…''

Nicklaus smiled; ''Do you know that if you had slept for another ten years I would have still been by your side?''

Nicklaus said, and Tiana's eyes widened.

''That would have been foolish of you! Why would you wait for me for ten years?!''

''...Because every day that passes by is another day of hope, hope that maybe, just maybe, in the next second, you would open your eyes and smile at me. That one day, you would hug me tight and tell me how much you loved me, how much you missed me. That hope kept me going, so I would have waited for a hundred years, even, because I love you.''

Tiana became quiet as she stared at him. Her heart melting into a puddle;

''You are so good with words you know that right?'' she said, laughing lightly; ''I love you too, Nicklaus. ''

Surprise flashed through his eyes; he didn't expect her to say it back; well she had said it when they had sex but he thought it was from the heat of passion, but now, she was wide awake...

''Beautiful, I didn't say it so you would… ''

''Hey, '' Tiana stopped him, cupping his face with her small hands;

''I mean it. I love you, Nicklaus. ''

Nicklaus swallowed as he stared at her.

Tiana chuckled; ''I know I can't remember us from the past, but I've fallen in love with you, not from my memories, but you I see now. I don't know how to explain it but I haven't been so sure about anything else in my entire life. I really wish I can remember our memories, but even if I don't, I don't want to spend a second away from you… ''

Nicklaus' lips cut her words short. Tiana didn't waste a second to kiss him back. Hard and passionate. Clothes came off one after the other as their pants rang in the room.

After about half an hour, they lay naked under the sheets and stared at the ceiling, a beautiful smile plastered on Tiana's chin.

''I love you.'' she said.

''I love you too, beautiful. '' He replied.

…

The wedding day came by quickly. Diana could barely sleep. Growing up, she had always wanted to get married when she got to her thirties. She never thought she would be so happy getting married this early.

''You look like a goddess!'' Her mother praised as the designers tightened the corners of the dress.

''Really? '' Diana smiled, she was excited. She couldn't wait for Michael to see her in this dress. 

''Yes, my baby, you are stunning. ''

Diana kissed her mom's chin.

''Oh, what a beaut! '' Claire exclaimed as she walked in with Tiana, who was carrying Zayn. He didn't want to let go of her ever since she carried him.

''You're gorgeous, Diana.'' Tiana smiled.

''Thank you dears, please let's hurry. We don't want to keep them waiting. '' Diana said, she was overly excited, she wanted to hurry to the auditorium but at the same time, she wanted to take the longest time she could take. This was her most special day, so she wanted every second to count.

As they stepped out of the car, Diana's smile died when she saw her father waiting for her.

She had invited him, but she didn't expect him to come, she was going to get married with or without him anyway, but seeing him there, she didn't want to think of anything that happened in the past, this was her day, and she wanted to be happy.

Smiling, she held his arm and let him walk her to the altar.

Tiana was her chief bridesmaid, while Nicklaus was Michael's. Sweet music played in the background as they walked into the church. Michael turned to look at the entrance when the music played, and when he saw her, his breath stopped in his chest.

Diana stood in front of him with a bright smile; ''Hey handsome; '' she whispered, just loud enough for him to hear.

Michael smiled; ''Hey gorgeous,'' they stood there smiling at each other but the priest interrupted them, telling them to say their vows.

Michael wrote his earlier, but standing in front of her fresh words came to his mind., he smiled;

''My love, I remember the first time we met. It was in the most awkward situation, but who would have thought that I would stand here one day, heads over heels in love with you? To think that I would wake up every day seeing you lying next to me is something I couldn't dare dream of.

If we had a thousand lifetimes, I would choose you a thousand and one times over. I don't want to spend a day without you, nor a second without your love. I wish we had met earlier, so we would have more years to spend together because this lifetime is not enough for me to love you the way I want. I love you, baby, with my entire being, and even in death, I would always love you.
