CH 5

Gia sat on the cement post of the steps of her new High School, her right leg dangling with ease as she watched the passing cars. “God you look so sexy Gia.” She flinched as she felt a hand on her thigh, a gasp escaping her lips, fear in her eyes. “Oh I’m sorry Sparky. I should have known better.” Nik wrapped his arm around her. “It’s OK Nikolas.” Gia kissed his cheek as she returned the hug. “What are you doing?” Nik asked as he pulled back. “Waiting for you.” There was a slight sarcastic tone to her voice. Nikolas blushed slightly and laughed, feeling embarrassed at his dumb question. “Yeah I knew that. So how was your day?” he sat next to her on the stairs. “It was really nice actually.” She nodded her head slowly. “I saw you sitting with my brother and his friends.” Nik commented. Gia turned to look down at him. “Is that a problem?” she asked. “No I think it’s good that you’re making friends. What would you do if it was a problem?” he asked. Gia shrugged. “Ignore you.” She said softly. Nik smiled. “I thought so.” He said. Gia turned back to face the cars she was watching before. Nikolas looked up at her, the sun was shining in her face and she squinted a little, he reached up and moved her braids off of her shoulder and onto her back. “You are so beautiful.” He whispered as he touched her cheek. Gia’s face tugged towards his touch. “I still can’t believe that Nikolas Cassadine thinks I’m beautiful.” She blushed, rolling her eyes slightly. This hurt Nik as he looked up at her. “Come here.” He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. Gia sat on his lap and he touched her cheek softly, then he took her face in her hands and stared into her eyes. “You are a goddess and the fact that you even look at me makes me the luckiest person in the world.” He said. Gia looked away sadly, this was too personal, too deep. “No look at me.” He turned to her face him again. “I know that a lot of people have hurt you and that you don’t believe in yourself but I’m telling you that you are the most fascinating person I have ever met. Each day I spend with you I’m even more intrigued by you. I… I just want you to know that you’re special to me and I’ve never felt this way about anyone. You’re amazing Gia Campbell.” Nik said. Gia had tears in her eyes and Nik’s breath caught in his throat as she blinked them away, captivated by the beauty of it. “I love you Nikolas.” She whispered. He couldn’t take it any longer; the sound of her husky voice drove him mad. He suddenly pulled her to him, pressing his lips to hers and kissed her passionately, opening his mouth for a thrilling taste of Gia.

“So my aunt is coming over to your house tonight?” Nik glanced over at Gia as he drove her home. Gia smiled as she thought about it. “Yeah I think we might have the start of a budding romance on our hands.” She said. Nikolas laughed. “Taggert, oh wait Lieutenant Taggert and Alexis huh?” He shook his head. Gia laughed. “Oh I forgot to tell you, I have house rules now.” She said. Nik moaned as he glanced at her quickly. “Rules?” he asked. “Yeah Marcus says that I have to come straight home after school, no stopping to do… whatever.” She laughed. Nikolas couldn’t help it; he reached over and put his hand on her thigh. “That’s OK I don’t need to stop driving to do whatever.” He said. Gia blushed and pushed his hand away. “Hands off Rich Boy.” She glared at him slightly. Nikolas was even more turned on when she looked at him like that, but he cleared his throat. “So what else?” he asked. “I have to be home by eight on weeknights and ten on weekends.” She said. “Ten?” He looked at her. Gia nodded her head. “Geez he’s pretty strict.” Nik said. “Yeah and say goodbye to the little short skirts I’ve been wearing because we’re going shopping this weekend.” Gia mumbled. “Oh now come on! That’s… that’s insane...it’s.” Nik glanced at her legs. “Cruel.” He added. Gia laughed. “Can you blame him though? What if I was your sister?” she asked. “Don’t say that.” Nik shook his head with an ill look on his face. Nik pulled up to the brownstone and stopped. “Do you want to come to dinner? I think Marcus would be okay with that.” Gia looked over at him. “I can’t my dad has been watching me pretty carefully, I’m already pushing it with driving you home.” He shook his head. “Do you want to go to the park on Saturday? I’ll bring Jake and we can play with him?” she asked. Nikolas smiled. “I would love to, lets do it.” He nodded. Gia smiled as well. She sat up in her seat, sitting on her knees as she leaned forward. Nik’s eyes moved rapidly over her face as she approached him, his heart pounded excitedly because she was being so bold. She touched his face and kissed him quickly, Nikolas moaned as he gripped the back of her neck and plunged his tongue deep into her mouth. But Gia took control, she was urgent and hungry, and she was practically sitting on his lap, her tongue dancing wildly in his mouth. Nikolas touched her body, as they kissed, her hips and her bare thighs, his body burned with arousal. He pushed her off of him suddenly, afraid he’d lose control. “You should go.” He panted as he stroked her cheek. Gia nodded her head as she struggled to catch her breath. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” She smiled. “Bye Gia.” He smiled back at her, dropping his head back on his headrest as he watched her walk away.

When she stepped inside, Gia’s aroused body cooled off in seconds, as the activities on the inside of her house were the complete opposite as the ones she came from. “I said no!” Jake yelled and ran off. “Jacob don’t tell me no. You need to have clothes on while we eat because we have company coming over.” Taggert said sternly. “No, nakie time!” Jake shouted. “Jacob.” Taggert looked at him. “Marcus.” Jake’s New York sounding accent when he said the name almost made Marc smile. Gia wanted to laugh at the serious tone Jacob was mirroring of Marcus’s but she couldn’t. “Jacob Christopher Donovan.” She exclaimed. Jacob cringed slightly as she said his whole name, and he hid behind the couch. “Come here.” Gia demanded. Jake slowly walked out from behind the couch, his nude body standing out against the black leather as he crossed one leg over the other, casually leaning against the arm of the sofa. “Hi Gia.” He said happily. Gia forced a frown. “Jakie you need to listen to Marcus when he tells you to do something, do you hear me?” she said. Jacob’s eyes were soft at her scolding; he nodded his head with a slight pout. “Oh but Gia?” he said softly. “Yes?” Gia said. “It’s nakie time!” he jumped up and down in excitement. “No it’s not. Come on lets go get dressed.” Gia laughed slightly. She placed her hand on the back of his bouncing head and gently pushed him towards his room. “No sugar what so ever Gia.” Marcus grumbled as she passed.
