Chapter 102 - I'll Wait



Tiana\'s eyes blinked at Diana. From what she saw in front of her, Mia was seeing that man but she liked another.

\'\'don\'t mind me, okay! I tend to talk a lot sometimes, ha ha. \'\'

Diana smiled and she stood up; \'\'I think I\'ll go to my room now, are you coming in now? \'\'

Diana asked, standing up from the bench, Tiana smiled and shook her head.

\'\'No, I think I\'ll stay here a while more. \'\'

\'\'Alright then, see you later. \'\'

Diana smiled and turned around, walking back into the mansion.

Nicklaus face was looking distraught, he had seen Tiana when she was speaking with Grandma, but after he finished greeting the guests, he could not find her again. He asked grandma and she told him she had gone to the restroom, quickly, he hurried there but he didn\'t find her there.

He went back to their room but she was not in, his face was sullen as he walked down the stairs; he wondered where she must have gone to.

Diana\'s steps faltered when she saw Nicklaus looking like a baby who was deprived milk, and she knew he must be searching for Tiana.

She waited until he reached her, Nicklaus did not notice her, he was about walking past when he heard her speak; 

\'\'Tiana\'s in the flower garden. \'\'

His steps stopped and he turned to see who spoke, but Diana was already walking up the stairs. 

Nicklaus quickly turned around and hastened out of the house, he saw a waiter carrying two glasses of wine on a tray and he took them, walking quickly to the flower garden. 

His eyes searched around uneasily, and he nerves calmed when he saw a figure sitting on a bench, her eyes gazing downwards; he watched her for some seconds before walking to her and sitting down beside her. 

Tiana\'s eyes rose up immediately when a familiar scent wafted into her nostrils, she didn\'t even need to look to know who he was.

\'\'Have some wine. \'\'

Nicklaus spoke, his eyes turning to her tenderly. Tiana peered at him, wondering how he found out she was there. 

Her eyes fell to the glass of wine in his outstretched hand and she took it, raising it to her lips, she gulped and coughed instantly when the alcohol hit the back of her throat, her face burning reflexively. 

Nicklaus patted on her back until she stabled;

\'\'You don\'t drink? \'\'

He asked when he saw that she was okay. 

Tiana shook her head; \'\'I drink but, it\'s not a common practice and even on the occasions when I do, I take little because of my little tolerance to it, \'\'

She explained; and Nicklaus chuckled; \'\' that simply means, you don\'t drink. \'\' Tiana turned to him, her brows creased as she explained herself;

\'\'I do! I just don\'t drink often. \'\'

Nicklaus laughed; \'\'Okay, okay you win. \'\' She smiled and raised her glass to her lips again;

The atmosphere turned quiet as the two of them sipped their wine. 

\'\'You know, I really wanted to show you to everyone today. \'\'

Nicklaus broke the silence, but his eyes were still fixated on his glass,

Tiana gulped as she turned to look at him, and she did not say a word. 

\'\'But I won\'t force you okay? \'\' he turned to her with a smile; 

He took her free hand in his and squeezed it a little; 

\'\'I\'ll wait for you beautiful, no matter how long it takes. I\'ll wait. \'\'

He gazed passionately at her, and Tiana couldn\'t look elsewhere, her heart beating rapidly against her chest.

Was he saying that he wanted her in his life? And that he would wait till she accepts him?

Why was everything happening so fast?

She gulped and pulled her hand from his grip, forcing her eyes away from him, she breathed heavily.

The atmosphere became awkward as the both of them stared at their glass silently; 

What if he was in love with her? Tiana thought;

He kissed her; it should have meant something right?

Her cheeks reddened as she thought about it, another thought came into her mind and her eyes widened, and the blush on her cheeks disappearing completely; 

He\'s never said he loved her! Is he trying to sleep with her? 

Tiana asked, but she quickly rejected the idea.

 They\'ve been sleeping together for days and he had not made any advances. 

But if it wasn\'t it, what then was his intention?!

Tiana screamed in her head as she was thrown into utter confusion.

 \'\'We\'re leaving after the party, let\'s go up and pack our bags, okay? \'\'

Nicklaus words cut her from her thoughts. Standing up, he stretched his hand to her and Tiana held it, standing upright. She quickly let go of his hand once she was standing.

Blinking her eyes, she turned and began walking forward, Nicklaus watched her for a moment before he followed behind.

The party was almost over as people were already leaving after seeing Grandpa, they were really busy people and given that it was a Monday, they had a lot of other things to do. 

Nicklaus stopped to bid some of the guests\' goodbye as they left, and Tiana continued walking to the mansion. 

When Nicklaus got upstairs, she had almost finished packing her bags;

\'\'Are you done? \'\'

He asked as he stepped into the room, 

Tiana shook her head; \'\'Just a little more. \'\'

Nicklaus pulled out his boxes and began neatly packing his clothes back into them, when Tiana finished with her bags; she came to him and helped with his and In the next few minutes, they were done. 

She had already kept a spare dress she would put on after the party, so as soon as she finished packing, she went to the bathroom to get changed;

They wouldn\'t leave till the party was over, so Nicklaus pulled his shirt and lay on the bed to get some rest. 

\'\'Please pick up the phone, I\'m sorry! \'\'

Mia cried as she dialed Alex\'s number for the fiftieth time. It was past eight, and the party was already over. Diana lay on the bed and watched her quietly; she didn\'t want to interrupt with her hurtful truths, knowing that it was no time for that. 

Seeing that he won\'t pick, she tapped on her message icon and sent him a text; 

\'I\'m sorry, I really love you, can you forgive me, we can start all over!\'

She had had a crush on Nicklaus but she didn\'t know she had been growing feelings for Alex until he turned his back on her for the first time ever, her heart couldn\'t take it.

She wasn\'t sure she could be with Nicklaus; she couldn\'t lose Alex whom she knew loved her sincerely.

God, what would she do now?

Mia hung her head low as her mind raced through different thoughts, her eyes closing; almost immediately, her phone vibrated on her handand she glanced at it, but her face paled blue drastically when she saw who the caller was.

Her hands shook as she stared at her phone, then after a few seconds, she picked the call.

\'\'I\'m waiting for you outside the gate, make sure you come alone. \'\'
