Hope you enjoy this story. This story will be based on how I wished the finale would have went and how I hope season three will go. I just can't get enough of Nico and Dani. TEAM NICO ALL THE WAY. I will try and update as much as possible. I'm hoping to keep this story going, hopefully, until season 3 starts. Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading.
Dani laid in bed confused as ever. All she could think about was her conversation that she just had with Nico two hours ago. He had told her that he had been offered a job in Dallas. Her heart felt like it skipped several beats when she heard him say those words. He said he wasn't sure what was left for him here. This bugged Dani because she felt like that was his subtle way of telling her that he was waiting on a decision from her. All she could say to him was the team would miss him in which he replied back that it wasn't enough to keep him from going. Why does this bother me so much? She thought to herself. Dani knew she cared about Nico a lot and of course she was DANGEROUSLY ATTRACTED to him as well. She also knew she would miss him terribly if he left. "Should I tell him that," Dani said out loud. It was frustrating that the thought of Nico leaving bothered her so much that she couldn't go to sleep.
After Nico left Dani's house, he went home, but all he could think about was the conversation he had just had with her. Why couldn't he just tell her the way he felt instead of trying to hide it. He knew he wouldn't be getting any sleep. All he could do was think about Dani. Nico knew leaving her would be hard. He picked up his phone and started to text Dani, but then he said out loud, "she's probably asleep." He got up and started pacing. After about 20 min of debating, he decided to text her anyways. After all, he could say he was checking on her. Nico grabbed his phone and decided to go with a short text. "U awake?~N". He stared at it a few minutes and then hit send.
Dani was laying there wide awake when she heard her phone buzz. When she saw that it was from Nico, her stomach had butterflies. She just stared at the message for what seemed like forever and read it over and over even though it was just a two worded text.
It had been at least 10 minutes since Nico had sent the text to her. "She must be asleep or ignoring me," he said to himself. A few minutes later his phone buzzed. "Can't sleep either, huh?~D". Nico wasted no time in responding back to her. He was relieved that she texted him back.
"Why, are you having trouble sleeping, Doctor?" Typical Nico to always answer a question with a question, Dani thought.
Then, she had a brilliant idea and decided to see how far she could take this. Dani wanted to see how much she could get out of Nico. Besides, texting with Nico is always fun. Dani laughed at the challenge it was getting personal info from Nico when she first met him, but their relationship had changed now. Wait, what? A relationship with Nico, now that would be fun and YUMMY, Dani thought. Time to have a little fun with this.
"So, Nico, are we back to the professonal title again?!" Nico laughed at this. This woman amazed him in every way. He thought about how their relationship had changed over the past year. Relationship with Dani? Now that would be amazing and HOTT, Nico thought.
"For the moment, yes. I heard your conversation with Donnely didn't go well last night at the facility when you told him you wanted to spend the rest of your days loving him. I got the impression he didn't like what you said."
Dani wasn't expecting this kind of response from Nico. It kind of upset her. "How do you know about that? Were you listening to our conversation?" Dani didn't know why she asked him this. Somehow Nico always knew everything that was going on with her.
"I was there at the facility and happened to overhear the conversation." Nico didn't want to admit it, but he saw Dani go in Donnely's office and it killed him.
Dani just sat there. She didn't know what to text back. She finally just decided to go with how she truly felt. "Nico, how do you just happen to hear a conversation and what's it to you anyways? How do you always just HAPPEN to know what I'm doing, saying, or even feeling all the time?"
Nico didn't like this response. The last thing he wanted to do was upset Dani. He decided to go with his heart this time. "Look, Dani, I don't want to upset you at all. I was just looking out for your well being is all. You know I don't care much for Donnelly. His ego is bigger than his head and his attitude stinks. I just think you can do better is all."
Dani was speechless after reading this message from Nico. It kind of ticked her off. Who did he think he was, saying something like that? Twenty minutes had gone by and Nico knew he probably had overstepped his boundaries with that last text, so he decided to just end this conversation before it got out of hand.
"Sorry, Doctor Santino for overstepping my boundaries. It's none of my business anyways. I will stay out of your personal life from now on. Goodnight, Doctor." This message upset Nico. He didn't want to end this conversation. He just wanted to go to her house and hold her, kiss her, and tell her that he loved her, but he knew that it was Matt that she loved. Nico knew he had to let her go and moving to Dallas would be one way to do it, he thought.
Dani didn't want their conversation to end like this, so she knew what she needed to say.
"WAIT, NICO. PLEASE! I don't want our conversation to end like this and I DON'T WANT YOU GOING TO DALLAS EITHER."
Nico couldn't believe what he was reading, but he knew it would only hurt him more if he stayed. He couldn't handle seeing them together.
As Dani was waiting on a response from nico, she heard a knock on her front door. She got really excited when she thought that it could possibly be Nico. When she got to her door and saw that it was Matt, she was kind of disappointed. She made a mental note to figure out why that was later. Here, standing in her house, was the man she had told that she loved him less than 24 hours ago and she was wishing he would go away. Dani knew something wasn't right with that and she knew she had to get to the bottom of this soon.
Matt could tell Dani was disappointed. "What's wrong, Dani. Not who you were expecting," Matt asked.
"Matt, it's after midnight. What are you doing here," Dani asked, but was trying to hide that she wanted him to leave.
"I really need to talk to you," he said. Matt knew he was about to hurt Dani, but he couldn't go through it again, especially after the news he got a little bit ago.
"Let me go change and I'll be right back," Dani said as she rushed upstairs.
As Dani was upstairs changing, her phone buzzed. She had left it on the kitchen counter. Matt was curious as to who was texting her this late, so he peeked over at the lit up phone. He saw the message was from Nico. Matt decided to read it. Besides, Dani would never know he read it.
"Give me one good reason to stay and I will.~N".
This had Matt ticked and wondering at the same time, so he decided to open up her messages. As he read through Nico's and Dani's conversation, he went from curious to furious. He was so involved in reading the messages that he didn't realize that Dani had come back downstairs.
"Matt, what do you think your doing," Dani asked loudly.
"What the heck, Dani? You pour your heart out to me less than 24 hours ago, but then you're texting Nico this kind of stuff," Matt yelled.
He started to walk out of the door, but Dani stopped him by saying, "don't you dare walk out of that door before you tell me why you came here, Matt."
Matt turned around. He thought he could just blame it on her as the reason why it wouldn't work between them, but decided to tell her the truth. Matt said, "I came here to tell you that I'm in love with Noelle and that she is pregnant with my baby. I'm putting in my notice tomorrow and we will be moving. We want to start over fresh somewhere else."
Dani hesitated before saying anything, "so you want to get mad over my conversation with Nico, but you want to justify what you did."
Dani cut off what she was about to say and decided to go with, "Matt, I'm happy for you. Wish you both the best."
Matt just nodded and said, "same for you and Nico as well."
With that, he walked out of the door. Dani slid down on the floor. She felt realived, but sad at the same time. There were many conflicting feelings she needed to sort out, but she knew Nico would be first on the list. There was no way she was going to lose him. "NOT NOW. NOT EVER."
