Chapter 201: What Living Feels Like.
Geal stared at Nicklaus like he had lost his mind. "Why don’t you back away now? You don’t have to wait until things go south."
Nicklaus passed Geal a lazy glare before shifting his eyes back to the papers he was forced on before Arissa then appearance.
Geal sighed at Nicklaus’s determination to ignore him and go on with his - Nicklaus - conception. "Trust me, when things begin to go south, you would be stuck with her, and leaving wouldn’t be an option, it would become something you can’t do."
Nicklaus signed on one of the files before closing it. Opening another, he stared long at Geal. "Geal, if I’m being honest, Arissa doesn’t seem like someone I should be scared of loving."
Geal disagreed. "She would make you feel that way until it’s time for her to strike. Nicklaus as a brother I’m pleading with you to get your life back. She isn’t worth any of these efforts."
Nicklaus glared at Geal. "She is worth all of my efforts. Each attempt I’d ever use on her, she’s worth more than it. If anything, ever since she walked through that door that night at the club and took a glass from my drinks, she had shown me how to experience other emotions. If you ask me, that’s what living is all about."
He went on, "Atimes, she could be annoying and difficult which is supposed to make me step away but... I can’t. And when I kissed her for the first time, the worlds in my mind trembled. Slowly, the demons backed away. It would only be a matter of time before they leave completely, as she’s hell-bent on taking every space my mind has left."
He chuckled and stared afar. "Her stubbornness and the fact she would never be a hundred percent obedient makes me more addicted to her and before I would stand straight for the emotional hollow she threw me into, my legs would end up going back to her,"
He drummed his pen on his desk in a rhythmical motion. He chuckled, a very dry and awkward one, "She doesn’t feel all of these for me. It’s all one-sided which makes me feel more regretful." he looked his best friend in the eyes.
