I Don't Own Zoey 101
Lots a Lot a Love, KandiKitty
"When do I getta see you again?" her sweet voice resounded from my laptop."Soon babe I promise. I'll be moving there in a month it's not too long" I smiled softly, Nicole was always childish about not seeing me enough. She hummed contently "I'm so glad you finally decided to come back to California! Now we get to see each other all the time, I can't wait!" Nicole smiled a bright grin that always made my doubts and worries disappear. "I told you as soon as I set up a job there and had enough money saved I would move." I moved my laptop from my lap to the bed so I could lay on my side. "I know Dana…but that was just so long ago and then... You know what? It doesn't matter because you'll be here soon and I'll be able to kiss and hold you and just see you every day!" I laughed lightly, we video chat everyday, it wasn't like we didn't see each other. It's just the fact that there is no contact that she hates.
"I love you sweetheart," I said not noticing she was still going off on us living together "You are amazing in every way and I hope I make you as happy as you make me, if that's even possible." There are few things that make Nichole blush, me being sweet to her was on the top of the list. "Shush your beautiful face!" Nicole had a bright blush slowly consuming her face. In an attempt to keep me from noticing she covered her mouth with her hand. "God...I love you." I said again with a smile I knew she couldn't resist. Looking at the time I frowned "It's your bed time." I saw her face scrunch showing her disapproval for the phrase. "Dana Cruz! I am 23 years old! I do not have a bedtime!" I rolled my eyes "When you have work in 4 hours yes, you do." She groaned "Fine!" Her baby brown eyes met mine and I couldn't think. Even after two years she still made me lose my breath. "I love you" The words fell on my ears just like the first time "I love you too sweetheart." She blew me a kiss and logged off. I shut my laptop flopping back on the bed. "30 more days, that's all. She n I will finally be together…"
I had moved to Colorado for a new start. I had to leave PCA and everyone I met there behind. After my incident… I desperately needed a place where no one knew my past. I had my headphones blasting as I rode my skateboard down the side walk to my favorite coffee shop. The place was fairly busy but the barista behind the counter knew me by name now, after all I spent most of my free time in here. "Dana! Chicka how you be?!" I unplugged my headphones smiling at the flaming man in front of me "I'm good Marco, got some new blades you wanna be my tester?" I drank some of my coffee smiling at him. "Oh gurl! You know you know!" I nodded stepping away from the counter "Call me on your day off n I'll swing by." I sat in my usual corner with my feet resting on the window seal. I've been working for a small company who makes skateboards and rollerblades, and for being 21 I'm not doing so bad if I do say so myself already managing one of the stores. Marco comes over to sit with me on his break "Counter. Brunette and damn is she your type!" I look up from the message I was typing, "Oh…Hell…" I stood up, I could never mistake her, no matter how many years went by. "Nicole…" I stood a couple feet from her "Dana? Is that you?" Her words hit my ears like sugar, and her body crashed into mine like a bus. "What are you doing in Denver?" God she smelt like rain, how can she do that? "I'm doing a photo shoot with an up and coming photographer!" She pulled away looking into my eyes. "We so needa catch up!"
Two more days. Two more fucking days and I getta be with my girl. But right now, this fuck off this moronic motherfucker is in my way from going home and video chatting her! "Sir, like I said. We can't take back used boards and this one has been used… a lot." I flipped the deck around showing all the wear. "You're mistaken I bought it that way!-" He started making up a bunch of excuses and reasoning. "Talk to my manager dude. I'm off." I set the board back on the counter going to the back, "Yo, Rob. Costumer is trying to get a refund on a used deck, I'm taken off!" I clocked out and was met with a giant bear hug from my bulky manager. "All grown up! Gonna go n run another shop! Ima miss my princess!" I laughed as he set me down "All thanks to you." I punched him softly in the chest. I took my car today do to all the snow, getting me home about ten minutes faster. I literally ran out of my car and up the steps to my apartment.
It's after six…I hope she hasn't been waiting lon- I opened my door to find Nicole lounging on my couch with take out. "Geez! Finally!" She smiled brightly setting her food down and jumping on me. "Nicole" I was barely a whisper but I knew she heard it. Her legs wrapped around my waist and her face was buried in my neck. "I missed you too much…" She smiled into my neck. "I wanted to come help you pack everything in the truck and…" I cut her off with a kiss. God I missed her. I missed her, I always miss her when I can't see her, can't touch her skin and feel her lips. Her lips, they traveled down my jaw and my neck stopping to suck on my collar bone. I leaned against the door to keep me from falling, she knew my weakness. "Come on, babe. You need to eat dinner, andddd then I get to eat" She winked stepping off of me and leading me to the couch.
The drive to Nicole's apartment is over 20 hours and the fact that we have to take a U-haul makes it even longer. My lovely girlfriend was curled up against the door cuddling her Hello Kitty plushie. I turned the music down a tad, two and half years we've been together. All over long distance calls and weekend visits, and those very rare trips when I had work near her and she'd drive to see me for the week. Some how we made it work. I don't know how we did it but we did and now…with three years coming up, I don't want to make her wait for anything anymore. My left hand went down to my pocket where her ring is kept. We haven't talked much about marriage or that sort of thing and I didn't even go looking for a ring. I was roaming a jewelry store trying to find a necklace or earrings for Nicole's birthday and there it was. A white gold band with onyx stones leading up to a ruby gem. It just screamed Nicole. I didn't have the guts to propose on her birthday so I've been waiting for the perfect time, like a walk on the beach or something just as cliche 'cuz that's the stuff she likes. "Where are we..?" Nicole rubbed her eyes sitting up and looking out the window. "We just got into Arizona an hour ago. We still have 8 more hours before we get into your town." She leaned over to kiss my cheek, "Can we stop and eat, baby girl? I'm starved!" Geez for a model she sure could eat. "Coarse, where do you wanna stop?"
After 2 hamburgers, fries and a milkshake Nicole was full and ready to get back on the road. "You didn't eat enough Diana! 5 tiny chicken nuggets a small little thing of fries and ice tea is not enough to fill you up!" she kicked her shoes back off getting comfortable in her seat again. "I already told you, I haven't been eating recently. It's not my fault, food just makes me sick." I shrugged I really wasn't hungry, maybe it was all the stress that comes with moving, and the added stress of trying to find the perfect moment… Nicole had fallen asleep soon after we got back on the road leaving me once again alone with my thoughts. Proposing to Nicole had to be extravagant, it had to met her high qualities and life style. I mean its not often that a model falls for a skateboarded... What can I do to show her how important she is to me?
