Uninvited CH 12 part A

“Care to dance Sparky?” Nik asked Gia when they walked back into Luke’s. Gia hesitated but gave in. “Sure.” She said. They walked over to the small dance floor. A fast song was playing when they walked up but as soon as they reached the dance floor, it changed to Alicia Keys’ “A woman’s worth” Gia let Nik slowly pull her closer to him as they swayed together. Nik’s eyes were glued to Gia’s face as they danced. Gia kept her eyes down as they swayed to the music. “Well, now we know.” Gia said. Nik looked up at her. “What?” He asked. “That you can’t dance.” Gia said looking up at him. A sly smile spread across Nik’s face, a chuckle escaped his lips. “You don’t know half of what I can do.” Nik said bringing her even closer as he danced, he bent his head down and lightly rubbed his lips up and down her neck. Gia’s eyes fluttered as the touch sent shivers up her spine.

Just one dance, that can’t hurt right? Gia asked herself when Nik asked her to dance. “Sure.” She said trying not to sound enthusiastic. Oh good it’s a fast song, Gia thought. She cringed when the song switched to a slow one just as they reached the dance area. She let herself be pulled in closer to Nikolas, so that they were inches away from each other. She couldn’t look in his eyes, if she did she would get lost and not find her way back. Think of something to say before things go too far, Gia told herself. “Well now we know.” She said. “What?” She heard Nik ask. “That you can’t dance.” She dared. Her breath caught at the smile that crossed his face. “You don’t know half of what I can do.” Nik said, Gia felt him pull her body even closer to him. She closed her eyes when she felt his mouth on her neck. She pulled back abruptly. “I can’t.” She whispered, shaking her head. “I want to go home.” Gia said. “But Gia we just got here.” Nik said. “I don’t care I want to go home, if you don’t take me I’m walking.” Gia said angrily. “Fine.” Nik said. He walked over to Lucky and told him he had to leave and that he would call him later. Lucky didn’t understand why his brother had to leave but said he would talk to him later.

Why is she like this? Nik thought as they drove home in silence. He would periodically glance over at Gia who was staring out the window. He was so confused by her. The way she looked at him, he knew that she had feelings for him.

“Gia why are you so upset?” Nik asked, breaking the silence. Gia was startled by the sound of his voice in the quiet car. She looked over at him. “I don’t want to talk about it.” She said looking the other way again. “Well too bad because I do. Ever since you’ve got here, you have given me nothing but attitude. I’ve been trying here but you haven’t” Nik said. Gia continued to say nothing. Nik pulled the car over and stopped, he turned to look at her. “Gia, I understand that you were never asked to marry me, your parents are making you. But there’s no way out of this, we have to.” Nik said. “I’ll never marry you, I hate you.” Gia said coldly. “Why are you lying Gia?” Nik asked. “I’m not!” Gia stated. “I can see it in your eyes Gia.” Nik said. “No Nikolas I don’t like you I ha..” Nik’s lips crashing down on hers muffled Gia’s yell. Gia’s lips remained tightly closed at first but Nik lightly teased her bottom lip with his teeth, lightly nipping. He slid the tip of his tongue between her lips and she finally gave in, opening her mouth to his tongue. Nik slowly pushed his tongue in deeper and soon they were both locked in a heated kiss. Nik brought his hands up to the back of Gia’s neck and he pulled her closer as he deepened the kiss even more. The kiss was fast and desperate, they were both desperately searching the others mouths as their tongues danced together. Their muffled breathes and Gia’s light whimpers were the only sounds that could be heard throughout the car. Gia pulled back abruptly and brought her fingers up to touch her swollen lips. “I want to go home now.” Gia said. “Gia you can’t tell me that you didn’t feel anything just now.” Nik said. Gia looked away from him. “I said I want to go home now!!” Gia yelled.

Oh my god, what just happened? Gia asked herself. Her cheeks felt flushed and her heart was still racing. She felt her body jolt forward as Nik’s Jag sped out onto the street. She looked over at him and knew he was furious with her. She was so confused. I love Zander, she thought. But then why do I have such strong feelings for Nik? She silently asked herself. Gia looked out and saw that they were nearing the launch to Wyndemere. She got out when the car stopped and fallowed Nik onto the boat and they boarded, the cold windy air hitting their body’s as they rode.

Nik was furious with Gia, he looked over at her pouting face and cursed himself for noticing how cold she looked. He was so mad that he let her get to him like she did. He was so frustrated with all her games that all he wanted to do was hide in his room and to push all thoughts of Gia out of his head. He was grateful that they were home. He knew that Stefan was there and needed to talk to his uncle. He was seriously reconsidering his plan to win Gia over. In fact, he really just wanted to put an end to this stupid arrangement and put them both out of their misery.

Nik and Gia quietly entered the front door just in time to find Stefan coming downstairs. “Hello you two. Did you have a good time? I wasn’t expecting you back until late.” Stefan said. It was only 9:00 at night. Stefan looked over at Gia and could tell something was wrong. “Are you all right?” He asked her. Gia nodded her head, never looking up at him. “Oh something came for you today.” Stefan said walking over to the desk in the entryway. Gia’s head snapped up in shock. She hadn’t received any mail from anyone since she had gotten to this god forsaken place. Her heart sped up as Stefan handed her an envelope, Gia immediately knew who it was from. She couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across her face. She stepped into the living room and sat down. Lightly running her fingers over the writing on the front. She opened it up and read.
