| Setting: The Cottage on a Saturday Morning. Both Liz and Gia have Tested For FOD but the choices won�t be announced for another week or two. Nothing more has happened since our sad kiss failure. Both remain playful and flirtatious. Nik's Princesses Nikolas had just finished a beautiful morning ride with Sheba. He was now rummaging through the frig looking for HIS orange Juice which was nowhere to be found. It had been in there that morning before he went out. (This is it Gia is going to have to pay. He thought with a smile coming over his face as he pondered of how he was going to get her back. Nik: GIA, (Trying to sound mad.) I know you are up. What did you do with my orange juice? Nik heard a giggling sound coming from the living room. He opened the door and saw Gia standing there with a full glass of his orange juice. Nik: That's it you are going down! Nik laughed as Gia set the glass down and ran towards the stairs with a shriek of excitement. Nik didn't even talk a second look at the glass as he ran upstairs after Gia. Gia was not sure why but she had ended up in Nikolas's room. (Probably because it is your favorite room. She thought with a smile. What was she going to do she thought as she heard Nik coming down the hall? Ring! Ring! The phone on Nik's nightstand rang. (Yes!� Gia thought, If I can get to the phone before he does he can't attack me.) Gia dashed for the phone but Nik saw her plan and lunged at her. He grabbed her by the waist and wrapped his arms around her stomach just as she picked up the phone. Gia: Hello. (Breathlessly half from the run half from the fact that Nik still had her trapped in his arms.) Good morning Mrs. Spencer, Yeah Nikolas is right here. Nik took the phone but kept an arm around Gia that prevented her from moving. Gia knew she wasn't going anywhere so she leaned back against Nik and listened. Nik: Hey Mom, What�s up? Mh huh Mh huh. No mom it�s fine. It will be fine. I would love to have her. I will call them and they can come over and watch movies tonight okay. Yah see you then. IT WILL BE FINE MOM! Okay, bye. Nik hung up the phone and put his free arm back around Gia not wanting to break the mood. Gia: Want did your mom want? Nik: Well she and my grandmother have to go out of town unexpectedly for the weekend. Lucky and Liz both have to work today so she was wondering if I could watch Lulu. I said it would be great to have her and that Lucky and Liz could come over and watch a movie with us tonight. Gia: Great Liz is coming! Nik: Gia please try and be polite, besides my sister is so much fun you won't even notice Liz. Gia: So what makes you think I am gonna help you out today? Nik: Well if you don't I may be forced to unleash my displeasure from this morning on you, (he began to tickle her.) Gia was laughing so hard she fell on to his bed. Gia: STTopphaha. She tried but it was no use Nik had her hips pinned between his legs and was ticking her mercilessly. Nik: So have I convinced you? (With a Cheshire grin) Gia: Yeah! Now can I go change or would you like to explain to your mother why we are in our pajamas when she arrives. Nik reluctantly roles off of Gia and sprawls out on the other side of the bed. Gia gets up and walks to the door. Gia: Don�t look so disappointed Prince, we'll rematch and then I'll nail you to the floor because I am the champion of Tickle Torture. (Gia shut the door and left.) Nik: I know princess, and I can�t wait. Nik knew today was gonna be great his two favorite gals all day. Nik had known he was in love with Gia for quite some time. God it made him just smile to think that he loved her. Now all I have to do is tell her he thought. ~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^ Gia: Man today is gonna rock. All day with Nik and Lulu is adorable. Now all I have to do is get rid of Liz. No I promised Nik I would be polite. If I didn't love him so much I tell youWow where did that come from? Well its not like I hadn't noticed I mean my world revolves around him nothing else really matters oh well. Just then she heard the doorbell ring. Gia: Well here I go. When Gia reached the downstairs she found Nik greeting his mother and sister with hugs. Laura (Brightly): Hello Gia Gia: Hi Mrs. Spencer. Hello Lulu, you look very beautiful today. Lulu (Shyly): Thank you. Nik: Lulu you remember my Friend Gia. She is going to spend the day with us. We are gonna have lots of fun? Right then both Gia and Laura realized how much Nik needed to spend time with Lulu he was already more relaxed then either of them had seen in a while. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~~ In the Park That Afternoon The day was going great that Morning they had gone to the Zoo. Gia laughed at the thought of the Lamas trying to eat Nikolas and how he tried to throw her in the water tank as revenge for laughing at him. Then they went to a 50's theme dinner on the outskirts of town. They all tried their hand in the hoola-hoop contest but Lulu had defiantly done better then her or Nik. She couldn't think of anything funnier then her Prince trying to keep the hoop around his hips. Lulu and Gia were really hitting it off too. Gia had, much to Nikolas's disliking, taught LuLu to call Liz, Lizard. They were now putting on their skates LuLu was a big fan of Ice Skating. Gia was a bite nervous she had never been very good at skating. Lulu was already on the Ice Skating like a pro. Nik: So are you going to come skate or just sit there all day? Gia: This is a very nice bench it would be a shame to not use it. Nik: Uh huh really or is it that maybe you don�t want to do it. Maybe you�re a chicken. Gia: (Standing and wobbling towards Nik) I most certainly am Noahhhhhh! (Gia began to fall but Nik grabbed her and held her close.) (God she looks like an angel� he thought. Gia couldn't think he was just to close for her to do anything but stare at him. Nik: (With a smirk) Well now I see why that bench was so inviting. Gia Feigns a hurt expression long enough to catch Nikolas off guard then she pushes him. Nik falls over but he is still holding Gia so she goes down with him. Nik tightens his grip on Gia. Nik: You are beautiful you know. (He couldn't help it that just came out) Quickly covering Nik moved to a sitting position but he still held onto Gia. Lulu who had been watching the whole scene skated over to where they were sitting. Nik: Hey Lulu are you gonna help us up? Lulu: No Nik: What? Why? Lulu: No you have to kiss her she is your girlfriend. Lizard is Lucky's girlfriend and he kisses her. Nikolas a little disappointed in the Lizard remark took advantage of the situation Nik: Well I guess I can't deny a princess. Before Gia even knew what was going on he was kissing her and the world was fading fast. God she had almost forgot how good he was at this. The kiss went on for quite some time. Neither one had realized how much they were enjoying it until they found themselves gulping for air. Lulu: (clapping her hands) Very good now I am going to skate. Nik: You okay Gia: Oh Yah! I mean yes I�m good. I mean it was. I mean are you okay. I Nik: Gia shut up! (With that he recaptured her mouth without objection) ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ 7:00 At the Cottage They had spent the rest of the afternoon in the park playing in the snow. When it got dark they headed back to the cottage, started a fire and had some hot coco. Now they were sitting in the living room in their pajamas. (Lulu had decided to have a pajama party.) They were waiting for the pizza, and Lucky & Liz. Gia: What movie should we watch tonight Lulu? Lulu: Anastasia. I like Pukah the puppy. Nik: That sounds great! Ding! Dong! Nik and Lulu went to answer the door. Nik: Hey bro nice PJ�s! HelloLiz. Lulu: (running to hug Lucky) Lucky! Hi Lizard. Gia had to fake a cough to hide her laugh. Liz: Hi Lulu! I see what you have been up to all day. (Shooting a nasty look at Gia) Ding! Dong! Nik: I'll get the pizzas, start the movie. They all sat down. Lucky sat the Armchair with Liz on his lap. Lulu sat on the end of the couch closest to Lucky and Gia sat on the other end of the couch. Nik set the pizzas on the coffee table and sat between Lulu and Gia. Nik: (So only Gia can hear) It must be my lucky day I get to sit between both my princesses. 2 hours later Nik now had his arm wrapped around Gia. Lulu had fallen asleep with her head on his lap. He couldn't think of many places he would rather be. Nik: I think its time for Lulu to go to bed. (He picked her up and carried her up the stairs) Liz: Good thing you didn't take her upstairs Gia she would have had nightmares if she would wake up to your face. That was it Gia couldn�t take it any more. Liz had been making similar wise cracks all night but Gia had ignored them for Nikolas's sake. Gia: What is your problem? Liz: You are my problem you little blackmailing whore. Why don't you go back to the whole you came from and stop leeching off of Nikolas no one wants you around? Besides. Nik: (Angrily Coming down the Stairs) THAT IS ENOUGH LIZ! I had no Idea how mean you really could be. Gia has been working hard all night to be polite to you and what do you do but act like a witch. Well it isn�t gonna fly. I want you to leave because no on is going to talk to Gia like that in my house. Liz: Why are you so upset it's only? Lucky: Come on Liz lets go before you say something you will regret. Sorry Bro, I'll catch you tomorrow. When they left Nik went to were Gia sat on the couch. She had tears in her eyes Gia: Thank you for defending me but what she said was the truth Nik: No it wasn't she had no right. You are good and kind and you are every thing to me. I won't let her trash you. Gia you make me happy, you give me a reason to live. I couldn't go on with out you. I Love you so much it hurts. (After he realized what he said he stopped to gage her reaction) Gia: (Now full out crying) I Love you too, Nik. I couldn't go on without you. Nik pulled her close and held her. After she had calmed down a bite Nik picked her up and carried her up to his room. He pulled back the covers and they crawled under them. All he wanted to do was hold her for the rest of his life but tonight would do for now. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ The Next Morning Nik awoke to a bouncing movement on his bed. He felt great he had spent the whole night with Gia in his arms. The bouncing didn't stop and he felt Gia stir. He realized the bouncing was a very awake Lulu. Lulu: Rise and Shine! The sun is already up. (Giggling as Nik grabs her and pulls her to sit next him and Gia. Gia: Where does she get the energy? Nik: I don�t know. So Lulu what are we going to do? Lulu: Prince Nikki you are going to make your princesses breakfast. Nik: My Princesses? Lulu: Yah Gia and me. Nik: Well any thing for my Princesses! Nik got up and headed downstairs leaving Lulu and Gia giggling on the bed. Today was going to be another great day. Jackie |
