I'm baaaaack (in that creepy voice lol). ANYWAY, I have a good story, and a longer story for you this time. There will be ups and downs, so please hang on for the ride. I will update at least twice a week, most likely more, but please be patient.

I appreciate all of the reviews for my other story It's What He Does, and hope I do them justice in this slightly interesting tale. Lots of TK too because I like him, and little to no Matt. I will have characters that I made up in there often, so please know that anyone you don't recognize is mine hahaha.

Enjoy, review, and remember that nothing is worth having unless you fight for it. (insert whoever created this line here...)

For the sake of my fic, let's say TK's mom checked out after he made it big and never knew his dad. I don't remember exact details, so pretty AU in a way I guess?

Enough of my rambling...On with the story!

"Engaged!"

Everyone turned to Matt as if he'd grown a second head, including Dani, and he got up to pace the length of the room.

"There's no way she's going to be engaged to him! She doesn't even need to be there!"

"Dr. Santino?"

Dani stood up to gain ground as Matt continued to angrily pace, now slowing to lean on the back of the other available chair in Coach Purnell's office. She stood in front of hers as Nico watched intently from behind Coach's right shoulder, the side closer to Matt. Her and Nico locked gazes, and he seemed to understand the implications of what Matt had nearly screamed just moments ago.

"Terrence invited me to his family reunion in two weeks, said that he wanted me to meet his grandmother. He said she was the only one to keep him in line until she moved out of state. I'm being invited into something he holds dear to him. I'm not disappointing him" she says with conviction.

"Then let me go with you! We can be engaged for a week, can't we?" he asked with just a little too much hope in his eyes. She sighed, and changed tactics.

"If I have to be, engaged again" she stressed the word, "I would rather do it with someone I'm comfortable with-"

"There, settled. I'll go with you and everything will be just fine"

"BUT," she emphasized, looking at Nico just in time to see a smirk appear before he let it slip away, "I think Nico is more than capable"

She felt the air in the room freeze as Matt turned to Nico, his face upset and angry as Nico just looked back at Dani. Coach was surprised, but he hid it well. Nico squinted at Dani and she squinted back, before he relaxed his face and gave her a slight nod of agreement. She felt her body relax as she sat again, feeling Nico's eyes on her the whole time.

"Nico! What the fuck? He doesn't even smile!"

"I do smile" he objected, just to get a rise out of Matt as he noticed the lovely shade of fire engine red his face turned. It was entirely too entertaining to pass up.

"Dani needs someone that can be a convincing as a significant other-"

"And I think I'm capable of choosing that for myself" she argued, crossing her arms over her chest.

"TK said his cousin was looking forward to seeing Nico again, doesn't that say something?"

"Yeah, that Angela stalked me all week last year. Or at least tried to…" he answered more to himself, getting a laugh out of Coach and a glare from Matt again.

"I was invited back this year by his grandmother as well as him. Dr. Santino will be just fine in my company" Nico defended, giving her a soft look before returning himself to checking his Blackberry.

Dani on the other hand, was planning on making sure she was with him at all times. She didn't want Angela to get her claws into her fiancé…Oh no, she thought of him as her significant other, in every way he wasn't. Yet.

Matt stormed out as she was lost in thought, muttering about how everyone was against him.

"Dani?" Nico called quirking an eyebrow at her as if he could predict her thoughts as he looked up from the screen. She blushed and shook her head slightly to erase the train of thought.

"Yeah?"

"I'll pick you up 7 next week. Flight leaves at 9 in the morning"

"Ok. Can I go now? I have to reschedule appointments and arrange my kids for the week"

"Sure. Have a good time you two, and keep Tk outta trouble"

"Will do" and with that, Dani left with Nico behind her. They walked along side each other as they reached the doors of the facility, and then parted ways. Before Nico could get too far, he turned and called towards her back,

"Green is a lovely shade on you Dr. Santino. See you next Monday"

She turned sharply towards him and nodded distractedly, checking her clothes and realizing she didn't have anything green on whatsoever. She looked up at him and he gave her a mischievous wink and disappeared around the corner before she could ask him what he meant. As she reached her car, she saw her reflection in the window and caught up to Nico's exact meaning.

Green is a good shade for me. Green…with envy. You think I envy this Angela? Ok Mr. Careles, let's see who succumbs to the green eyed monster first.

Like? No? Just give it time, it'll grow on you. This chapter was awkward for me, but the upcoming ones are better. Let me know your thoughts, next update in no more than 3 days.
