Part 2 Rated R
He didn’t need to be here but he told himself that it was because he wanted to make sure his house was cleaned to his liking. But in his heart, Nikolas knew that that wasn’t why he stayed home from work today. He had met the perfect woman last night, and he had to know if it was all a dream or if she was for real. His heart skipped a beat when he heard the doorbell ring and he practically jogged to go get it, but he stopped, catching his breath for moment.
“Hey there.” He smiled at her as he swung the door open. No, last night was not a dream, Gia was indeed real, and she was even more beautiful than he remembered. She stood at his door with a box full of supplies resting on one hip. She didn’t look as excited to see him however; in fact she looked pretty shocked.
“Oh hi Nikolas, I mean Mr. Cassadine I didn’t know you would be here. I was expecting the lady from yesterday.”
Gia had thought about him all night last night and part of her was hoping that he would be here, but another part of her kept screaming at her that he was her employer and hoping that would be inappropriate.
“Mrs. Landsbury left early and please, we talked about this last night. Call me Nikolas.” he stepped closer to her. Gia stepped back.
“Nikolas you’re my boss. I’m just here to clean your house, nothing more.” Nikolas threw his hands up. “I know.” His voice was soft. Gia nodded her head and moved passed him and put down her supplies. “Now where do I start?”
Gia was led into the dining room. She fallowed Nikolas, staring at him from behind. She noticed how his butt looked in his kaki pants, very nice. He stopped and turned around. Gia blushed as he looked at her. “What?” he looked at her oddly. “Nothing.” She averted her eyes away from him uncomfortably. Nikolas shrugged and pulled out a box. He sat it down. Gia walked up and looked inside curiously.
“It’s beautiful.” She noted as she looked down at the silverware in the box. “Yeah.” He said looking at her.
Gia inspected the silverware. It looked antique. She felt Nikolas move next to her to look as well and shivered slightly at his closeness.
“They were made in 1917. They’ve been in the family for generations, brought here from Russia.” Gia looked over at him. “I don’t want to mess them up.” she looked genuinely concerned.
Nikolas snorted. “Please, you could throw them away and I wouldn’t care. But they come in handy when I have company over.” Gia made a face. “Family issues huh?” she joked. Nikolas laughed. “You have no idea.”
Gia’s lips curled into a smile. “You’d be surprised.” She shrugged. She grabbed the polish and a rag out of her box and pulled out a spoon and began to polish. After a few moments she looked up at Nikolas, catching him staring. “You going to stand there all day?” Nikolas looked away. “No I guess not.” He turned and walked out.
An hour later Gia sat down the last piece if silver that she polished and sat back in her chair. Polishing wasn’t hard but it was very tedious. She slowly stood up and stretched her legs.
She stepped out of the dinning room and walked over to the entryway, she sat down her supply box and bent down to get her supplies out that she would need to dust the wood furniture, she looked up in shock as the door suddenly opened. Her eyes landed on the blond guy from the picture she saw yesterday.
“Hi.” Gia was cheerful as she stood up and walked closer to him. Lucky stood there in shock. He looked her up and down. Her tiny button fly denim shorts made her legs look even longer. The thin white tank top she had on was short and it showed off her flat stomach. Lucky shook his head as she walked closer to him.
“Uh hi. Who are you?” He asked, curiously smiling at her. Gia smiled back.
“Gia Campbell, I’m cleaning the house. Nikolas is in his office if you want to go see him.”
“Yeah I think I will go talk to him thank you. I’m Lucky by the way. Nikolas’s brother, it’s nice to meet you.” Lucky extended his hand out to her.
“Nice to meet you too.” Gia shook his hand. Lucky chuckled shyly as he let go of her hand and stepped back slightly.
“Well I uh am going to go see my brother now. I’ll see you later.” He tripped on the step that was behind him but quickly caught himself before he fell.
“Careful.” Gia said with concern. Lucky laughed as he turned around. “I’m OK.” He held up his hand before walking away. Gia chuckled as she bent down and picked up her polish and rag.
Lucky stepped into his brothers office and leaned back on the door when he shut it behind him. Nikolas looked at him oddly for a moment but then a smile spread across his face.
“I take it you met Gia?” He smirked up at his brother. Lucky nodded numbly.
“So how long were you going to keep her a secret bro?” Nikolas laughed.
“She just started yesterday Lucky.”
“She’s gorgeous.” Lucky breathed. Nikolas smiled shyly.
“Yeah I’ve noticed.” Lucky looked at his brother closely.
“You like her don’t you?” He asked.
“I just met her Lucky.” Nik shook his head.
“That doesn’t mean anything. Does she have a boyfriend?” Nikolas got queasy on that thought.
“I don’t think so. Look she’s only going to be here until today. She’s only scheduled to work two days for me.”
“So schedule her to work five days a week Nikolas, come on you can afford it.”
“That’s not the point man. I just don’t think it’s right to hire her because I’m interested in her. That’s just not something you do. It wouldn’t be ethical.” Nik stood up and walked around his desk. Lucky gripped his shoulder.
“You’re in idiot Nikolas.” He sighed as he let go.
“Look is there a reason you stopped by?” Nikolas glared at his brother. “Nope, I just wanted to see what you were up to. Obviously I came at the right time. You’re definitely up to something.”
There was a knock on the door and both men turned their attention to the door. “Come in!” Nik shouted. Gia peaked her head inside.
“OK I’m starving. Do you want another peanut butter and jelly sandwich?” Nikolas grinned. Lucky looked at his brother and then over at Gia.
“You got him to eat real food?” Gia laughed.
“Yes and I think he even liked it. You know you should really get your brother here to explore the many wonders of peanut butter.” She nodded.
“Well, I have tried Gia. But he’s kind of a lost cause.” Nikolas frowned.
“Are you two done making fun of my lack of knowledge of American food?” He raised his eyebrow. Gia smirked at him.
“Do you want a sandwich or not prince?” Nikolas smiled.
“That would be great Gia, thank you.” He nodded. Gia smiled and turned and walked out. Lucky turned to his brother.
“God there is so much sexual tension between you two it’s not even funny.” He shook his head sadly. Nikolas blushed.
“Ask her out man, she’s perfect for you. You’d be a fool to pass a girl like her up.” Lucky punched his brother playfully on the arm. He walked out of his brothers office to leave.
“Nice to meet you Gia!” Lucky shouted as she walked passed the kitchen. Gia stuck her head out and smiled at him.
“Nice to meet you too Lucky, bye.” She grinned. Lucky blushed as he turned around and stumbled out the door. Gia laughed and shook her head as she turned back to the kitchen.
Nikolas nervously approached his kitchen and pushed the swinging door open. He grinned as he looked at Gia. She hadn’t noticed him and was singing as she made the sandwiches. He bit his bottom lip to hold in his laughter. She was singing the Queen song, We Will Rock You, and bobbing her head to the tune. She danced her way to the sink; she ran her finger over the butter knife in her hand and licked her finger before dropping it in the sink. Gia instinctively felt Nik's presence and looked up at him suddenly. She immediately blushed as she dropped her hand to her side.
“Nice singing.” Nik sat down at the table as he nodded his head and chuckled. Gia looked away slightly, still red and grinning.
“Thanks.” She mumbled as she wiped her hand and grabbed the two plates on the counter and carried them over to the table.
“You know I've been craving these since last night.” He looked up at her and grinned.
“Yeah right.” Gia shook her head in disbelief. Nikolas laughed.
“I did crave it I swear, among other things.” He cleared his throat as he smiled at her. Gia let out a nervous laugh as she looked away. She picked up her sandwich and brought it to her mouth.
“So your brother seams nice.” Nikolas looked up at Gia. He had just bitten into his sandwich and Gia smiled as he gestured to his chewing.
“God this stuff is so annoying.” Gia laughed over at Nikolas. “This stuff. I still can’t believe that you’ve never had peanut butter. That’s crazy.” Nikolas smiled.
“Well I like it. It’s just so thick.” Nikolas made a face at the sandwich in his hand. “Oh duh, well I totally forgot a key ingredient in the PB&J experience.”
Nikolas raised his eyebrows as Gia got up. He watched her move in his kitchen like she had lived there her whole life. She knew exactly where the cups were and dug through his refrigerator with ease. She came back to the table and placed two tall glasses on the table.
“Milk?” He looked up at Gia curiously. Gia smiled. “Yes, you have to have milk with this meal. It’s just too bad you don’t have any potato chips.” Nikolas curled his lip in disgust.
“That’s insane.” He said. Gia glared at him. “Hey that meal got me through grade school.” Gia shrugged. Nikolas picked up his glass and brought it to his lips. Gia watched his throat muscles work to drink down the milk. She didn’t know what it was about the way he looked right now, but he looked so sexy to her.
Nikolas looked over at her. He saw the wonder in her eyes and it made his heart flutter. “Yes my brother is nice.” Gia laughed at him. She had forgotten that she even commented on that.
“I think I might have made him a little nervous. He kind of kept literally falling all over himself. It was kind of cute.” Nikolas smiled at her but inside he was a little jealous that she had called his brother cute.
“Well I should get back to work.” Gia stood up, picking up her plate and glass. Nikolas picked up his things as well and fallowed her as she walked over to the sink. He came up next to her and put his plate in. Gia scooted away slightly, shied by his closeness. He grabbed her hand when she started to turn away from him.
“Thank you for the sandwich.” He whispered, smiling at her as he fingered one of the braids that had fallen onto her face. Gia’s heart began to pound as she looked at him. He inched closer to her when he saw that she was not backing away. With her eyelashes blinking rapidly, she leaned into him and slowly their lips touched.
Nikolas brought his hands up to the back of her head, he pushed his fingers up into her mass of braids, and pulled her closer to him. Gia opened her mouth and began to touch his neck and face as she twirled her tongue around his. Nikolas moaned as he began to walk her backwards until she was leaning against the counter behind her.
Gia couldn’t get enough of the taste and feel of his mouth, his lips and his tongue. Nikolas’ hands were on her stomach now, he held her waist within his hands. She felt his fingers venturing up her shirt. Gia pulled back from the kiss to catch her breath, and Nikolas immediately began to kiss her neck. Gia was breathing hard as his mouth tortured the sensitive skin of her neck and just below her ear.
“Nikolas.” Gia moaned as she threw her head back. She slowly started to pull away, but Nikolas held her tightly. “Gia I want you. I want you so badly.” Nik mumbled as kissed her cheek and then her lips. Gia kissed him back but pulled back again. “We shouldn’t.” her voice was a whisper as she searched his face.
“Why not?” Nik’s words came out in a desperate plea. “I don’t know.” Gia suddenly didn’t remember her reasons.
Nikolas touched her face lightly, holding her cheek in his palm as he looked into her eyes. “Do you want me?” He asked. Gia looked down, she nodded her head softly, reaching up and touching his face as well. Nikolas pulled her to him, and Gia instantly became lost again. She kissed him with a passion that was quickly taking over her body. Her whole being craved to be closer to him, her hands craved to touch him and her mouth craved to taste him. This time it was Nikolas’ turn to pull away from the kiss. But his hands remained at her waist.
“Will you make love to me Gia?” Nikolas whispered as he pulled her closer again. He was taunting her lips with his, leaning so close to her. Gia nodded her head quickly before pressing her lips to his. Nikolas pressed a few quick kisses on her lips before pulling back. He looked at her as he stuck his hand out. Gia looked at it for only a second before she took it.
Nikolas guided her up to his bedroom, opening the door and pulling her inside. Gia was greeted by that now familiar smell. She looked around the room.
“Where did you sleep last night? You didn’t touch a thing.” Nikolas turned to look at her. It startled him slightly that she said that. It suddenly occurred to him that she had been in his room before. Touching his clothes, cleaning his mess, probably on his bed.
“I slept downstairs on the couch. I was so tired last night.” Nikolas knew that the reason he was downstairs all night was because he was thinking about Gia. He thought about her until he finally fell asleep. But he would never admit this to Gia.
Gia stepped further into the room; she spun around to face him and smiled at him. “This is such a beautiful room. You should really try to keep it clean, it looks a lot nicer without clothes everywhere.”
Nikolas blushed as he rubbed the back of his neck shyly. “Well it doesn’t always look like that. I usually keep it pretty clean; I’ve just been really busy lately and haven't had much time to clean. You know why am I defending myself? It’s my room I can keep it messy.” Nikolas said lightheartedly.
“True.” Gia shrugged as she turned away from him again. She walked over to the huge bathroom and peaked inside. “Can I take a shower?” She turned to look at him.
Nikolas was numb, his mouth dropped open slightly. “Uh yeah I uh I guess that would be fine.” Gia smiled at his stuttering. She licked her lips lightly. She slipped off the flip-flops she had on and walked up to him, removing her shirt as she moved.
“Come on, are you going to join me?” Gia asked. Nikolas stood baffled; his mind went blank as he looked at her. He numbly nodded his head. Gia came up to him and he held out his slightly shaky hand and slowly ran his hand up her neck.
“You are amazing Gia, so beautiful. I just can’t believe that you’re real.” Nik said. Gia smiled and leaned in, slowly kissing his lips.
“Is that proof enough for you?” she pulled back ran her hands up his arms. Nikolas sighed as he leaned down and kissed the top of her smooth shoulder. Gia moaned at the feel of his light touch on her sensitive skin. Her fingers reached up to lightly play with the little hairs at the base of his neck.
Nikolas nibbled her shoulder, and up her neck, latching onto her earlobe and sucking it softly. “Nikolas come on, I want to take a shower.” Gia pulled back. Nikolas smiled at her sexily. “OK.” He whispered.
Gia turned away from him and walked over to the shower, turning the water on and adjusting the temperature. She began to remove the rest of her clothes. First she removed her bra, and then unbuttoning her shorts, and pushing them off, dropping them to the floor.
The fact that Gia seamed to be ignoring him, or simply just completely at ease in his presence turned Nikolas on. He felt odd. Because to an outsider he might seem like some kind of sick pervert doing this, just standing and staring at her. But the fact that Gia was so comfortable with him made him feel safe to stare. He admired her body from behind. Her sexy shoulders and the sway of her back captivated his eyes, curving so gracefully into her lovely buttocks. She was perfect.
“Come on slowpoke.” Gia turned and smiled at him playfully. He had been leaning against the post of his bed, and he used the surface to push himself towards her. He grabbed at his shirt and swiftly pulled it over his head and dropped it to the floor. He then unbuckled his pants as he watched her get in and start to take her shower. He moved more swiftly to join her, removing his socks and shoes and pushing his pants down and quickly stepping out of them. He was undressed now as he walked up to the shower.
Gia had been running the hot water over her face, and she turned her face as she felt Nikolas getting closer. She blinked away the water that was in her eyes and his body slowly came into focus behind the clear shower door. Nikolas pushed open the glass door leaned against the wall, he ran the back of his hand along the shoulder that was closest to him, that taunted him so.
“Can I get in there?” Nikolas’ lips formed into the most adorable smile that Gia had ever seen. She let out a nervous laugh and nodded her head. Nikolas got in behind her. Gia looked him up and down. His body felt hot as her eyes flicked over his body.
“You are stunning Nikolas.” Gia whispered as reached out to caress his shoulders. Nikolas laughed, but his face slowly grew more serious.
“Gia I, you, I can’t even put into words how beautiful you are. I just, you take my breath away, you’re so gorgeous.” Nikolas leaned in; he pressed his lips to hers and Gia kissed him back. Gia pulled back.
“Come on this was not the plan. I need to take a shower and I thought that you might like to take one too.” Gia turned away from him and grabbed the soap from the soap dish in front of her.
“Oh well maybe I don’t agree with the plan, it is pretty cruel you know.” Nikolas came up behind her; he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck. Gia smiled as she leaned into his embrace.
“I want to take a shower Nikolas.” Gia reached down and pulled his arms apart to step away from him.
Nikolas sighed. “Fine. Well let me help you.” He took the soap from her hand before she could object. Gia turned around and Nikolas looked into her eyes for approval, Gia smiled as she stepped closer to him. Nikolas gently began to wash her.
He ran the soap along her neck and shoulders first. And then he lathered the soap up in his hands, he put it on the soap dish and then reached down, soaping up her breasts. He closed his eyes at the feel of her nipples between his fingers. He caressed them, and tenderly covered them in soap. He reached over and got more soap on his hands, and continued down her body.
Nikolas placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her around. He washed her back, and her buttocks, all the way down the back of her legs. He turned her around again and washed her stomach. He looked into her eyes as he washed lower, her soft hairs and then the soft sensitive skin of her vagina. Gia let him, looking into his eyes with complete trust as he did this.
Gia rinsed herself off, turning away from him again and letting the water cascade down her body. The water running down her body fascinated Nikolas. He reached out and touched her back; running his hands along her wet, smooth skin.
Gia turned around and her eyes traveled down to his growing erection. It was a sign that he wanted her. She walked up to him and kissed him, instantly pushing her tongue into his mouth and taking control over the powerful kiss. Nikolas recovered quickly from the urgency of her kiss and viciously returned it. Gia moaned as she wrapped her arms high around his neck.
Nikolas’ hands frantically moved around her body, touching her wet skin, his body hot with need for her. He pulled out of the kiss and instantly kissed his way down her body. Gia was panting as his mouth hungrily devoured her body. He licked her shoulders, and down to her breasts. He sucked her damp nipples, one and then the other.
Gia rested her hand on the back of his head, as a way to stay standing. Nikolas was wild; his tongue worked her with urgency that shocked Gia. Nikolas grabbed her by her waist, and gently pushed her back so that she was away from the water. The shower was huge and Gia felt cold as her body pressed up against the cold glass. Her nipples were hard and she shivered slightly. Nikolas was down on his knees, the water rushing down his back. He licked her stomach, dragging his tongue over her navel. Gia’s heart began to pound, as he parted her legs slightly, she tilted her head back to rest it on the glass behind her.
Nikolas leaned down and kissed her knees, first one and then the other, then her inner thigh, again one and then the other. Gia panted as he made his way up between her legs, kissing her every inch of the way, causing her to quiver. He reached her soft mound and placed his hands on the back of her legs as his mouth moved between her legs. He slowly brought his tongue out and licked her, feeling her soft skin and tasting her lovely flavor. He explored her and slowly pushed his tongue up inside of her, and began to flick his tongue rhythmically inside of her. Gia let out short, aching cries as she gripped his head. Nikolas placed his hands on her hips, and began to run his hands up and down her butt as he pleasured her with his tongue.
Gia’s mind felt numb, her eyes rolled back in her head, her heart was pounding at the feel of his hands running sensually up her body and the feel of his warm tongue inside her. Nikolas reached a sensitive spot and Gia grunted as an orgasmic release came. Her warm fluids released and Nikolas licked her, hungrily drinking them. Gia’s knees felt weak. Gripping Nikolas’ shoulders as he pulled back, she slid down the shower wall and sat down on the tile floor. It was cold, but her body was still hot with pleasure and it soothed her.
Nikolas looked over at her, she was propped up slightly, and her body was in a weird position. Her breasts were sticking out as her back was arched and her dark hard nipples taunted his eyes. He licked his lips, smiling, as he tasted her on them when he brought his tongue back in his mouth. Gia smiled at him.
“God haven’t you had enough of me already?” She smirked.
“Never.” Nik shook his head as he crawled over to her, Gia laughed as she casually caressed his head and kissed his cheek. There were little droplets of water all over their bodies and Nikolas’ mouth traveled down Gia’s. Licking her chest and stomach. Gia’s body had recovered from Nikolas’ pleasure and she suddenly sat up. Nikolas frowned and Gia smiled at him.
Gia pushed Nikolas back, his body was pressed into the glass, much like hers was before, except to the side, so that the water was rushing over his body. Nikolas reached out and lightly touched her cheek as she came up beside him. Gia leaned in slowly, and kissed him, so softly on the lips. She lowered her head, and brought her face down so that it was almost touching the skin of his chest.
Gia was leaning over him, so that the water was hitting her own body, but her body was not touching his yet. She began to move her face over his body, dangerously close to his skin, just lightly breathing as she figured out what she wanted to taste first. Nikolas’ eyes fluttered shut. He could feel her energy on his body, this was torture, and his body craved her touch. Gia decided that she wanted to feel him with her hands first, so she slowly brought her hands out to touch him. She ran the palms of her hands around his slick skin, exploring his muscular chest. She stopped, and then leaned in, holding her braids back with one hand, and kissed his nipple. She slowly opened her mouth and toyed with it, flicking her tongue over it and then lightly grazing it with her teeth. Nikolas sucked in a breath. He was fully erect now and his eyes opened, he looked at Gia, the sudden urge to be inside of her rushed over him.
Nikolas swiftly moved to her and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. Gia opened her mouth, she fought hard, thrusting her tongue into his mouth and licking the roof of his mouth. Nikolas moaned. His hand pressed up against the glass to brace himself as he sucked on her tongue. With his breathing muffled, he blindly reached up and turned off the water. Gia pulled back and looked up at him. Nikolas stood up and silently got out, getting a towel and bringing it back to her. Gia stood up and thanked him as she took it from him. They watched each other as they began to dry off.
Gia’s eyes couldn’t help but wander down to Nikolas’ obvious erection. Nikolas looked at her face as she looked at him. There was no shame in her staring, pure lust filled her beautiful brown eyes. Nikolas walked up to her, the look in her eyes was too much to bear, he wanted her and he wanted her now. He swiftly pulled her to him, and Gia opened her mouth to him immediately. She couldn’t get enough of these smoldering kisses. Nikolas pushed his hands up into her damp braids as he kissed her. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her, at the same time turning her around. He walked her back, and Gia let him guide her as they kissed.
The minute they were out of his bathroom, Nikolas pushed Gia’s towel off of her and kissed her exposed shoulder. He kissed down her body and Gia melting against him, she sighed as she leaned into him. Nikolas held her as he slowly lowered her down to the ground. Gia lay back onto the soft plush carpet beneath them and looked up as Nikolas hovered over her.
Nikolas looked down into her eyes and leaned in to kiss her yet again as he pressed his body against hers. Gia’s body ached to have him inside of her. Her legs began to move along the sides of his body, creating a friction that made Nik’s body shake. He pulled back from the kiss, and placed his hands on her knees, gently spread her legs a little wider. Gia tilted her pelvis up a little, Nik’s head was bent down slightly and Gia looked down at him, admiring the intent look on his face as he slowly pushed forward to enter her body. She thrusted her hips up suddenly and watched as shock filled his features.
Nikolas let out a deep grunt at the feel of Gia surrounding him. He began to move inside of her at a slow and steady pace. Gia moved with him, meeting his thrusts. When they found a rhythm that they thrived in, Nikolas gradually began to increase the speed. He craved the sound of her cries, and loved to watch the look on her face when she made them.
Gia focused on every detail of their lovemaking. She tried hard to work with him, and was festinated by the sounds of her own cries meshed with his grunts. She let the sound of his soft, slightly damp skin connecting with hers enter her ears sweetly. She loved that he was working so hard to pleasure her and those grunts were reminders of that. But Gia wanted his experience to be just as fulfilling.
Nikolas found a pace that he was flourishing in and he felt himself nearing his peak. He drove into her powerfully. “Gia!” He cried out as his release came. With a few more strokes, Gia was crying as well, she threw her head back as her orgasm swept over her. They were breathless, their bodies shaking madly and their hearts pounded rapidly as Nikolas rolled off of her. Nik's body was still hot from the work it took to bring forth such pleasure.
“That was amazing.” Nikolas said breathlessly as he looked over at Gia. Gia smiled over at him, he was laying flat on his back next to her and his head was turned towards her. The look on his face made her blush. He looked so happy and exhilarated. She hadn’t noticed how much he seamed the opposite when she first met him until now. She nodded her head softly at him. “Yeah it was.” She answered.
~*~ * ~*~
Gia opened her eyes; she had fallen asleep there, on the floor of Nik’s bedroom. She looked over and didn’t see him anywhere. She sat up, instinctively reaching over at the towel that was to her side and wrapped it around her chest. She stood up and looked around for him. She still did not see him anywhere. Her heart began to pound as she wondered if this was all a huge mistake. She had slept with her boss. Now she wondered if he had examined the situation and had panicked.
Gia quickly gathered up her clothes to put them back on, the tears that she struggled to hold in stung her eyes as she went about her task. Her hands shook as she buttoned up her shorts. She moaned sadly as she looked down at the rumpled up towels on the floor. “Shit Gia, you’re so stupid!” she cursed herself.
Gia moved to go out and she was startled as the door suddenly swung open. She felt trapped when she looked at him.
“I uh, I’m so sorry that I let that happen. Look you don’t even have to say anything OK? I’ll just go and we can forget it ever happened.” Gia moved to pass him.
“Whoa Gia hold on, what do you mean?” Nik grabbed onto her shoulders and looked down at her.
“You’re my boss. I just, I know that we made a mistake but I still need to finish my job. I’ll just finish cleaning and leave and we can go our separate ways.” Gia looked up at him, fighting back tears. Nikolas frowned as he shook his head.
“Why are you saying that? I thought we had something special? Do you really think that what happened was an accident?” Nikolas dropped his hand. “I kind of thought it was fate.” He mumbled as he looked down, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
Gia’s eyes danced across his face, her lips were parted slightly. Her heart warmed as she looked at him. “When I woke up you were gone, I thought that you freaked out or something. I don’t know.” Gia trailed off as she looked away from him.
Nikolas moved closer to her and grabbed her hand. “No I, Gia I’m sorry I left you. It’s just that you were sleeping and, you looked so peaceful, just so beautiful. I didn’t want to wake you. And I kind of wanted to surprise you with something.” Nik struggled with what he was trying to say.
Gia smiled softy at him. She suddenly felt shy and stupid. She let out a quick laugh. “I guess I’m the one who freaked out.” She admitted. Nikolas smiled as he reached up and touched her face lightly. He leaned in, and pressed his lips to hers in a tinder kiss, his hand still lingering at the side of her face as he pulled back and looked at her.
“Gia what happened between us was so special. I want you to know that I don’t feel bad about anything that happened between us. It doesn’t matter that you work for me OK? What happened, happened for a reason and we can’t let the fact that you’re working for me effect that. If we want to be together, we can.” Nik looked into her eyes as he said this. Gia struggled with her emotions.
“I don’t know what I want.” She whispered as she closed her eyes. Nikolas rubbed her cheek lightly. “Hey, it’s OK. You don’t have to decide anything right now. Will you come with me? Please? I want to show you something.” Nik said. Gia grinned as she nodded her head. “Sure.” She smiled at him as she took his hand.
“This is what you wanted to show me? Junk food?” Gia made a face as she looked at his kitchen table. There were cookies and candies, chips and pretzels. Gia’s eyes scanned over the names like, Ding Dong’s and Cheeto’s. She turned and looked at him oddly.
Nikolas laughed at the look on her face, suddenly second guessing his little surprise. He looked at her nervously. “Well this is all stuff that my brother brought over here and I’ve never touched any of it. I don’t know why, maybe because my uncle instilled this fear into me that this stuff might lead to my early death or something. But anyway, I thought that maybe you could share this with me, you know my first time eating this stuff. But I uh, that’s really weird so never mind.” Nik turned away from her as he shook his head.
Gia walked over to him and gripped his face in her hands; she pulled him to her and kissed him. Slowly at first but the kiss quickly began to grow into something more. They soon found themselves lost in a frantic, passion filled kiss that made their bodies remember what took place only a few hours ago.
Gia pulled back and had to catch her breath. Nikolas licked his lips and Gia smiled as she reached up and touched his wet swollen lip. “You are so adorable Nikolas.” She said. Nikolas was still smiling, blushing actually as he watched Gia walk over to the table. She plopped herself down on one of the chairs and immediately began to open up a bag of food.
“Please don’t tell me that you’ve never eaten m&m’s before.” Gia raised her eyebrows at his curious stare. Nikolas shook his head in admission. Gia laughed at his cute expression. “Well what are you waiting for prince? Come on and let the master tell you all about the wonderful world of junk food.” Gia patted the chair next to her. Nikolas smiled and walked up to the chair and sat down.
“Gia, I think I’m going to be sick.” Nikolas looked over at her; he put down the peanut butter cup that was in his hand. Gia laughed, they had been eating for a good half hour and Nikolas was starting to look pale. “Yeah you really have to wean yourself onto something like this.” Gia got up and went to his cupboard.
Gia handed Nikolas a glass of water and sat down next to him again. He brought it too his lips and drank a few sips. “Thank you.” He smiled as he reached over and grabbed her hand. “So what was your favorite?” Gia asked curiously. Nikolas thought about it. He pointed at the candy he just put down. “I think I’ve acquired a taste for peanut butter.” He grinned.
Gia bit her bottom lip slightly; her hand was still resting comfortably in his as she looked around the kitchen. She sighed heavily. “It’s getting late.” She said. Nikolas looked at her, suddenly feeling an aching fear grow inside of him that she was going to leave again.
“Gia, I uh.” He leaned into her as he looked into her eyes. “I don’t want you to go.” He whispered. Gia looked down softly.
“Nikolas this is a job. I’m not even scheduled to work for you tomorrow. And please don’t ask me to quit for you because I need this job, I can’t.” Gia said. Nikolas shook his head.
“Well what if you did work tomorrow? What if I hired you full time?” Nikolas asked hopefully. Gia smiled softly.
“Really? You would do that? You want me to work for you permanently?” Nikolas nodded. “Yeah, would you be OK with that?” Nik asked. Gia thought about it. “Well what about what happened between us? I don’t know if I could work for you and sleep with you.” Gia said. She smiled softly as Nikolas lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it.
“Then we’ll deal with it. Gia I just don’t want this to be the last time I see you. Will you come work for me? I’ll do anything to see you again.” Nik locked his eyes with hers in an intense stare. Gia looked into his eyes and went with her gut feelings. “OK Nikolas, I’ll come work for you. Just as long as you don’t treat me like the hired help.” Gia smiled at him.
Nikolas shook his head as he clutched her hand to his chest. “Never Gia.” He laughed. Gia pulled away from him and stood up. “So is sex a requirement for the job?” She asked as she went to go get her box of supplies. Nikolas laughed. “No but you can think of it as an added bonus.” He said.
Gia laughed as she walked up to him. She put her box down and leaned down, softly kissing his lips. “So I’ll see you tomorrow?” Gia rested her head against his forehead.
Nikolas tugged at one of her braids that had fallen into her face. “I’ll see you tomorrow Gia.” He smiled. He kissed her cheek and her eyes fluttered closed. Gia opened her eyes and straightened up. She touched his shoulder and slowly pulled back, letting her hand drop to her side. Nikolas smiled at her, as she smiled at him, and once again he watched her get her things and walk out the door of his kitchen. He sat back in his chair, his mind going crazy with the prospect of having Gia working for him every day of the week. “This is going to be fun.” He said aloud as he smiled brightly.
