Chapter 4

~Club 101~

"Hey Liz, have you come up with anything?" Lucky asked his girlfriend over the loud music. "No I just can't find anyone right for your brother." Liz said. "Yeah I haven't had any luck either, we need to find someone perfect for him." Lucky said. "Yeah we do, but all the girls here are like any other girl in town." Liz said scrunching up her nose. "I know, they're all so plain. Nik needs someone fun and energetic. Someone to rock his world." Lucky said smiling. "Well considering that every girl in Port Charles is probably here tonight I don't think we have much of a selection." Liz said looking around. "Yeah, lets stay a little bit longer and then we'll head over to my dads OK?" Lucky said. "Sure, I would love to go to Luke's, and he could use the company tonight." Liz said laughing.

~Kelly's~

Nik raised his head and moaned. He looked around to see that he had fallen asleep on his book. A smile curled at his lips as he looked down and noticed the smudge he had caused by his drool. "Great." He said quietly. Rubbing the back of his neck with his hand he began to slowly rub out the stiffness he felt. It wasn't like him to fall asleep in public. He started to try and remember why he stopped studying. He remembered that it was because ever since he was disturbed by a person coming in the door, he couldn't concentrate on his work. He felt strange that he didn't know why he couldn't focus. He remembered rubbing his eyes and then closing them but nothing after that, it just wasn't like him. Nik slowly stood up, suddenly feeling other sore spots on his back and shoulders. Stretching out his arms and legs he bent down to pick up his things. He locked up Kelly's and got in his Jag that was parked in the back parking lot. He got in and head home to his empty Cottage that he was sure he would be up studying for a few more hours in.

~Luke's~

 "Gia, I swear if you don't get off of that table right now I'm going to push you off." Seth warned Gia. She had been dancing provocatively for everyone in the quiet bar. He didn't have a problem with it until she got up and began to dance on the wobbly table on weak legs. "No Seth, I have to dance for these people. Their lives are so boring that this is probably like the highlight of their week." Gia said in the most serious of tones. For as long as Seth had known his friend, he knew that she was crazy. But add alcohol to the equation, even one drink, she could be almost psycho. "Besides Roy likes it, don't you Roy ?" Gia said with a wink as she yelled over to Roy, who was behind the bar. Roy smiled back at her and nodded his head. "Gia baby, you can dance all night if you want to." Roy said flirting back. "This is the most fun I've had in moths darlin." Luke shouted as he stood beside Roy . "Thank you." Gia said with a smile and then stuck her tongue out at Seth. Seth sighed and plopped himself down on the stool next to him. He knew the routine. He just had to sit back and wait for her to wear herself out. He shook his head as he thought about what she would do next, he knew this was just the beginning of her craziness. 

Everyone in the club looked over when the door opened and two people came in. Gia didn't miss a beat as she smiled over at the young couple. "Hi!" She said excitedly over to a stunned Lucky. He was looking up at the most exotic looking woman he had ever seen. Her braids swung back and fort as she was swaying to the music that was playing throughout the club. Her long mocha colored legs were clearly revealed between her short skirt and tall boots. He felt a small lump in his throat as she smiled brightly at him and then jumped off the table and walked over to him. "Gia Campbell, and you are?" Gia said extending her hand to Lucky. "Lu.. Lucky Spencer." Lucky stumbled out. Gia laughed. "Spencer huh? Any relation to him?" She asked gesturing to Luke. "This here's my son." Luke said as he made his way to over to Lucky. Liz cleared her throat, clearly trying to get anyone's attention. Luke smiled over at his son, he had never seen him at a loss of words like this. "And this is his girlfriend Elizabeth." Luke said smiling at Liz. "Nice to meet you Liz." Gia said extending her hand. Liz reluctantly shook the strange girls hand. "This is my best friend Seth." Gia said pulling him to a standing position. "H..hi." Seth stuttered as he shyly smiled at Lucky. "He has a girlfriend Red." Gia whispered not so quietly in his ear. "Shut up G." Seth said pinching her. Gia glared at him and refocused her gaze onto Lucky. "Do you want a lap dance Lucky Spencer?" Gia questioned him. Lucky and Liz both looked stunned at her, for completely different reasons. "Umm no he doesn't." Liz said wrapping her arm around Lucky's waist. "Lucky can I talk to you for a minute?" Liz asked Lucky as she pulled him to the side. When they were fee from earshot, Lucky smiled at Liz and whispered over to her. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Lucky asked. "What, that that girl is insane and we should stay away from her and if she EVER tries to give you a lap dance I'll kill her?" Liz said. "Umm no actually I was thinking that we should set her up with my brother?" Lucky suggested. "ARE YOU CRAZY?" Liz streaked, she looked over to see everyone staring at her and blushed, lowering her voice. "Lucky, that girl is nuts, we can't do that to your brother." Liz said. "Why not? I think she's just what he needs." Lucky said. "No." Liz said in a warning tone before heading back over to the group.

An hour later everyone was exhausted by Gia, she had pulled Seth, Lucky, Luke, Roy and even tried pull Liz out on the dance floor. "OK man this is starting to get to be too much for me to take." Luke said to Seth as he stared at Gia, who was continuing to show off her impressive hip hop moves. Seth nodded his head. "Yeah I think I should drag her out of here." Seth said. "Where are you two staying?" Luke asked. "The closest hotel I guess, her brother who we're staying with won't be home until tomorrow." Seth said. "Nonsense, we'll find you somewhere to stay." Luke said. "Luke you know not to make promises you can't keep. They can't stay at your place, they won't fit." Roy said. "I know somewhere they can stay." Lucky spoke up, causing them all to look at him.

20 minutes later Lucky, Liz, Seth and a drowsy Gia were all heading over to Lucky's brothers house. "Where are we going?" Gia mumbled over to Seth. "I told you, Lucky's brothers place." Seth said. Gia nodded weakling and laid her head on Seth's shoulder. He kissed the top of her head and let her fall asleep on him. Liz complained the whole time. letting Lucky know that she was definitely not a fan of this plan. But Lucky ignored her comments and drove until he reached his brothers cottage. "I'll be right back." Lucky said getting out of the car. Being the kind man he is, it didn't take long for Nik to be talked into helping these people out.

"Where can I put her?" Seth asked as he entered the cottage carrying a sleeping Gia. Nik took a moment to look at Gia's limp body in the mans arms. He could only see the back of her body as Seth held her to him. "Here let me take her for you, I'll put her in the guest room and Lucky can help you with your bags." Nik said extending his arms. Seth considered it for a moment, not sure if he could trust this man with his best friend but he saw the sincere look on his face. Seth also knew that he would be a better man at the job of carrying her up the stairs. He nodded his head and carried her over to Nikolas and placed her in his arms. Nik easily took her body in his arms and carried her up the stairs.

Entering the guest room, Nik placed Gia's seemingly lifeless body on the bed, he walked over and flipped on the light so that he could see. He walked over and crouched beside the bed so that he could look at her. She was clearly beautiful, even with her eyes closed tightly, Nik knew that she had to be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He lightly caressed her soft cheek, noticing how sad her face looked. He wondered why she looked that way. Nik removed her boots and pulled back the covers of the bed. He lifted her body, attempting to tuck her in. Gia stirred and Nik froze as she pulled his body to hers. She began to whimper lightly as she clung to him. Nik wrapped his arms around her and took that moment to pull the covers back even more and gently eased her in the bed. "Shh.." Nik whispered as she continued to whimper. "Momma.." He heard her sadly say before she drifted off into a more restful sleep. Nik felt a lump in his throat as he wondered what had caused her so much pain. "Don't let her get to you Nikolas." He told himself as he walked out of the room.
