Hey guys! This idea popped into my head today as I was riding the train! So tell me what you think cause I would love to know if I should keep going or not!
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters from CSI: NY, sadly. Oh and I don't own Kylie Flack either, she belongs to ten81CSI you should check out her stories and The Strip Tease Series, it's a collaboration with me! Oh! But I do own Niki Foxx! Whoohoo!!
Adam Ross rested his head in his hand as he watched the girl of his dream flirt with some other guy. Well it's not like it mattered. She didn't notice him. Well she did, but only in a friendly way. Basically Adam was stuck in the friend zone when it came to Kylie Flack. And he wasn't even sure how to get out of it. Adam Ross needed help, big time.
As he watched Kylie giggle and swing her dark hair over her shoulder, there was a loud crash behind him. Adam jumped around to see a body lying through the table. Adam looked around hoping someone like Hawkes heard the crash and would coming running to help the victim. But no one was coming. To Adam it seemed like no one even heard the crash. He turned back to the table to see nothing was broken. The body was now brushing its…no her shoulders. Adam watched as the woman stood up through the table, as if it wasn't even there.
"Who...are…you?" Adam stuttered. He looked down at his hands and noticed they were shaking.
The brunette stood up and shook her hair out. She brushed her side bangs out of her face and looked up at Adam with her big brown eyes. "Whoa what a rush."
"You…never…an…answered, my…question." Adam stuttered again. "And…why…are you…here?"
"Why am I here?" The brunette asked, "Did you really just ask me that? Why am I… where am I?"
Adam knew is stuttering was going to get worse. The brunette's aggressive tone was scaring him. And he could feel his whole body start to shake. It wasn't just the woman's attitude that was getting to him, it was the fact that she was there, standing in a table.
The woman could sense Adam's discomfort and let a broad smile come across her face. Adam suddenly began to relax; there was something about the smile that just soothed him.
"You're at the Crime Lab." He said, stuttering less then he thought he would.
"The Crime Lab…Oh! The Crime Lab! I know the Crime Lab!" The woman said as Adam gave her a questioning look. "Well I know of it. You see, I'm a cop."
Adam stood there, eyebrow raised. Did she just really say she was a cop? Humans don't stand through glass. It's impossible.
"Well, I was or am. I dunno if I'm dead yet." The brunette said, struggling herself to understand what was going on.
"Look," Adam started, holding his hand out to the girl, "You lost me? Now I'm a geek, but I'm confused."
"Alright let me set the scene for ya. My name is Niki Foxx and I work…worked… for the Narcotics Department. And the…what's today?"
"Friday."
Niki nodded her head. "Okay I was shot Tuesday. Right here. "She said, pointing to the spot directly above her heart. "And let me tell you, it hurts like a mother fucker. It is the most intense burning sensation of your life, like you wanna die. "
Niki sighed and looked down at herself. She walked through the rest of the table to get closer to Adam. "Now I'm not too sure if I wanna be dead." She said softly, "But anyway, my body is in a coma, and now I'm like a ghost or spirit or something trying to do the right thing. Because, apparently in reality I'm cold hearted selfish bitch. Well that's what God told me… maybe it was God. I'm not too sure. I mean He didn't look like Morgan Freeman. But then again what do I know?"
Adam watched as Niki struggled to explain her situation to him. He could tell she was just as confused as him. He watched as the girl looked down at herself again.
"So let me see if I'm following you." Adam said, trying to help the 'ghost' out. "You're in a coma and you spoke to someone who gave you an assignment to be selfless. But why? Is this so you get into heaven or live?"
Niki furrowed her eyebrows and scrunched her face. "I'm not too sure. I wasn't completely paying attention. Being up there," She said, pointing to the sky "Is pretty surreal."
Adam nodded his head. "So what's this assignment?"
"Oh yeah!" She said, a smile jumping back to her face. "I have to help this guy Adam Ross. Apparently he needs to get laid."
"No I don't!" Adam shouted at her. "I'm perfectly capable of getting laid!"
"I'm guessing your Adam." She chuckled, "But no you obviously aren't. Cause why else would I be here trying to perform a selfless act?"
Adam rolled his eyes. He could see why this girl needed to perform a selfless act. "Look, I need help trying to get the girl of my dream." He looked out of the glass panel to see if Kylie was still standing there but she was gone. Probably long gone. He sighed as he turned back to face Niki.
"I'm guessing you're in the friend zone?" She asked. Adam nodded his head slowly. "That sucks balls. But don't worry. I'm here to…" She stopped short when something caught her eye. Actually more like a someone. Someone who was tall had dark hair, and amazing blue eyes.
"Hey Ross," The man said, popping his head into the lab.
Adam looked toward Niki and awkwardly stood there, waiting for her next move. The blue eyed man stood there, staring at Adam.
"He can't see me!" She whispered to Adam. She wasn't too sure why she whispered, if the man couldn't see her, he obviously couldn't hear her either.
"Yeah Flack?" Adam asked, his eyes quickly glancing back to Niki.
"Donnie?!?" She said with surprise.
Adam looked towards her. "What?" He asked, sounding slightly annoyed.
"Whoa Ross, what is up with you?" Flack asked, raising an eyebrow at the young lab tech.
Niki watched as Adam tensed up. She herself started to get nervous. Niki suddenly felt herself jumping into Adam's body, hoping maybe she could control him.
"Whoa." She said, but heard Adam's voice. She raised her hand to her throat and watched as Adam's hand came up and scratch his beard.
"Look Ross…"
"Hey Donnie… Flack. Flack, yes Flack." Niki cut him off. She had to remember she was Adam right now. Adam Ross and she needed to act exactly like him. Too bad she didn't know how he acted normally. "Did you hear about that Narco cop that got shot?"
Flack raised an eyebrow at Adam. Yeah the kid did act strange but never this strange. "No, I didn't. Why?" He asked, clearly confused with the motives of the Lab Tech.
"Oh," Niki sighed, sounding upset. "Well I thought you would, since you're a cop. But what's her name? I think it was like Niki Foxx."
"Niki Foxx?" Niki could see that Flack recognized the name, but she could tell he wasn't positive.
"How many Niki Foxx's do you think are out there you…?" Niki started to flip out, but then she realized she was Adam, Adam Ross. "Yeah, pretty brunette, big brown eyes, amazing smile. Nice ass."
Niki watched as Flack realized it was the right Niki Foxx. "Do you know what hospital she's at?"
She had to think about it for a second. Okay, okay the bust was there, she thought, so I would have to be at… "Angel of Mercy Hospital. That's where I… I mean Niki is."
Flack nodded his head as he walked out of the lab and headed toward the elevator. Niki stopped out of Adam's body and shook her whole body. She had this completely strange feeling.
Adam turned to her and gave her a stern look. "What the hell did you just do to me?" He yelled at her. "I feel so violated!"
Niki rolled her eyes as she tried to brush herself off, but her hand kept going through her body. "You wish I'd actually violated you."
"Now I know why you needed to do this! What the fuck is wrong with you?" Adam growled at her.
Niki chuckled at Adam's attempt to scare her. How could she be afraid of someone who reminded her of a teddy bear? "Alright, alright. Who do you want in your pants?"
"Kylie Flack." He mumbled, folding his arms across his chest and looking toward the floor. He could feel his cheeks getting red. Great, he thought, what is this ghost chick gonna think about me now.
"No way!" She shouted, "I know why I was sent to you! Kylie is like my sister! This is perfect!"
"It is? You are? This is great!" Adam shouted, a smile coming to his face. "You're amazing!" He started jumping up and down, dancing around Niki. She had a broad smile on her face as she giggled at Adam's antics.
"You okay Ross?" A blonde hair hunk asked as he walked into the lab.
Adam stopped in his tracks and glared at the hunk in the door. Niki whistled at the man as he took of his lab coat. Boy does he have some guns, she thought to herself.
"Damn I wanna feel those arms." Niki said, purring at the man.
Adam looked at Niki and gave her a killer look. Niki shrugged her shoulders. Obviously this Ross guy knew nothing about her.
"Ross, you're acting stranger then usually." The man laughed at Adam. Adam lowered his head and rounded his shoulder. He had a hurt puppy look on his face.
Niki glared at the hunk. "Jerk." She looked toward Adam who started shaking again. She sighed as she jumped into Adam's body once again.
"No need to be a douche bag!" Niki growled at the hunk.
"Whoa," He put his hands up in defensive, "When did you grow a set of balls?"
"When I got tired of people like you, shitting all over me!" Niki growled and shoved Danny out of the way.
Niki jumped out of Adam's body and got that strange feeling all over again. There was no way in hell she was going to get use to that. She realized that Adam hadn't stopped walking, so she started to run after him. Niki went flying through a wall and ended up in the locker room, just as Adam entered.
"So you gotta ask her out. Like now!" Niki ordered Adam.
Adam sighed as he sat on the bench. "I don't know, Niki. I mean she's always flirting with stronger better looking guys then me
"But you have one advantage over all those muscle heads." Niki told Adam. She tried to put her hand on his shoulder, but it just phased through his body.
"What's that?" He asked, looking up at the ghost.
"You've got a hot spirit that is going to teach you everything you need to know!" She said, pointing to herself with her thumbs. "Now what are you going to be doing tonight?"
"I was going to a bar to watch my friend's band play."
"Good! Now you're gonna ask Kylie to come with us." Niki smiled.
Adam raised an eyebrow and let out a small snort. "Us?"
"Well I will be there to make sure things go smooth my friend. That is my job."
Adam shook his head at Niki who was standing in the bench. He was not going to get use to this ghost phase through object thing fast enough. It was freaky. Niki turned around and watched as none other than Kylie Flack walked into the locker room. She sat right where Niki was standing and began to shiver.
"Oh, I guess ghost are cold." Niki said, stating the obvious. She moved back and walked over to the other side of Adam. "Do it now!"
"So Kylie…" Adam said, starting to stutter a little bit. He grabbed the back of his neck as he continued, "If you….aren't…doing…any…thing…tonight…do you wanna…come…"
Niki rolled her eyes as she listened to Adam's stuttering grow worse. She didn't understand why he did it and she was completely lost on how he stopped stuttering around her.
"My friend's band?" He finished. Niki figured she missed some of it. Both spirit and man watched Kylie decided if she wanted to go out with the nerd.
Finally she nodded her head and let a small smile come to her face. "I'd love to."
"Really?" Adam asked, getting all excited.
"Don't overdo it." Niki warned him, "You don't want to look like a moron."
Adam tried to calm down. "I mean, cool." He corrected himself. He even gave her 'the nod'. "I'll pick you up at 7."
"7 it is." She said, smiling. She grabbed her coat from the locker and left the room.
Adam turned to Niki, a giant smile on his face. "You're amazing."
"Tell me something I don't know." Niki said, rolling her eyes, "Now let's give you ready to be datable!"
"Alright, let's start off with the basics." Niki said, pacing in front of Adam.
Adam was sat on his couch, which he had to turn around so Niki could use a chalkboard or at least have one. She wanted to look legit. Or that's what she said. Adam didn't really try to question her; he just let her do whatever.
"Okay you bring a coat, just so you can give it to her. Cause that shows if a guy cares about you or not." Adam nodded his head, signaling to Niki to continue. "Buy her drinks, but don't buy her too many, you don't want to make it seem like you're trying to get her drunk so you can take advantage of her."
"Do guys really do that?"
Niki rolled her eyes. He was so naïve. "Yes they do. Oh! Do not, and I repeat do not go past first base tonight!"
"Why not?" Adam asked.
"Because," Niki sighed shaking her head, "Let's say you suck at sex. And you give it up to the girl on the first date. She might not want to get to know you, because she doesn't want the suckish sex."
"Girls are really that shallow?"
Niki shrugged her shoulders. "Not really. Sex just kind of, tells you a little about the guy. But most girls wanna be pleased in bed, so if you can't do that, they really don't want to get to know you. That's why you really should wait till the third date."
"Alright, so bring a coat, buy her drinks, but not too many and don't go past first. Anything else?"
Niki tried to fold her arms but they fell right through each other. She sighed at her attempt to be normal. "Well, it depends on how the date is going. Don't worry. I got your back."
"Alright, I trust you." Adam said, wiggling his finger at her.
Niki giggled at Adam. She didn't understand how he was having trouble hooking Kylie. Yeah he was a little dorky and chubby, but he was cute and totally funny. And Niki knew Kylie dug a guy who could make her laugh.
"Now let's move on to wardrobe." Niki smiled. She turned on her heels and walked right through the chalkboard.
Adam rolled his eyes. He hoped if this all worked out, that Niki would be coming back to Earth. He would definitely miss her, spirit or actual person.
Niki stood by the bar and watched as Kylie and Adam danced on the dance floor. Niki sighed when she realized that two people could dance between them. She went to lean on the bar, but fell right through it and landed right on her ass.
"Great, just great." She mumbled, "So this is what the inside of a bar looks like." She jumped out of the bar when she realized the music had changed to a slow song. Niki shook her head at Kylie and Adam awkwardly standing out on the dance floor.
"Helpless children." Niki sighed. She walked to the dance floor phasing in and out of people. All shivering as Niki went through them. She could defiantly get use to that. She reached Adam and said into his ear, "Wrap your arms around her waist. Be like a few inches apart." Adam did as he was told and watched excitedly as Kylie put her hands on hands around his neck.
Niki stood back and watched as Adam failed at swaying his hips to the music. "Why are you such a failure at dancing?"
Adam wanted to roll his eyes at Niki, but he knew he couldn't. Kylie would see him, just like everyone else had today.
"You're killing me Ross!" Niki complained. She moved behind Adam and grabbed his hips and helped him sway to the music. "Holy shit! I just grabbed you and didn't go through you! I don't know how I did that! This is awesome!"
Adam was internally laughing at his spirit friend. Maybe it meant that she was doing well with her task and she was becoming human again. Yeah, that had to be it or else Niki was just learning how to be a ghost better. That didn't sound as good at all.
Adam brought his attention back to Kylie and her amazing blue eyes. Kylie smiled at him and rested her head on his shoulder. Adam breathed in the scent of her shampoo and sighed with happiness. He could stay like this all night if he wanted to.
"Score!" Niki sang from behind them. "Who's the king? I am! Watch out! Dr. Niki is in the house!"
The trio had reached Kylie's apartment complex and were standing outside the lobby. Kylie handed Adam his coat back and looked him in the eyes.
"I had a lot of fun tonight." She said a small smile on her face.
Adam nodded his head. "Yeah, me too."
"Tell her you wanna do it again sometime." Niki said.
"We should do this again sometime." Adam added with a sheepish grin.
Kylie shrugged and looked down at her feet. "Maybe, I gotta look at my schedule."
Adam nodded his head and started to lean in for a kiss. Niki was proud she didn't have to tell him. Everything was moving in slow motion for her when she realized Kylie was trying to back away.
"Wait!" She shouted. Adam stopped what he was doing, afraid to move. "Pretend to brush an eyelash off her face! Now!"
Adam brought his hand to her cheek and pretended to remove and eyelash. "Sorry, you had an eyelash. Make a wish."
Kylie giggled softly at him. "You're so weird Adam."
"Yeah I know." He shrugged. "Well I'll talk to you at work?"
Kylie nodded her head. "Yes you will Adam. Good night."
Adam waved good night and watched as Kylie walked into her apartment building. He turned to Niki and gave her a questioning look as they both headed back to his place.
"Why did you tell me to stop?" He asked.
Niki sighed. "Because this wasn't completely a date to her. It was two friends going out."
"Oh." Adam sighed, lowering his head in defeat.
"Don't be mister gloomy!" Niki said, punching Adam in the arm. But her hand went right through him. "You have me! I'm going to get you out of this friend zone! I promise!"
Adam nodded his head. He didn't really want to talk about it anymore.
"I mean I don't understand why she put you there. I mean you have a very nice ass." Niki smiled and pinched Adam's ass, her hand not going through.
Adam jumped into the air surprised by the feeling of Niki's hand on his ass. Everyone on the street stopped and watched as a grown man shrieked and jumped into the air. Adam turned to Niki, his face red with embarrassment.
"I hate how half the time you can't touch me and half you can." He growled, not making eye contact with her.
Niki shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I must be getting use to the ghost thing. Oh by the way I'm staying at your place tonight."
"Why?"
"Because staying at my place is gonna be all weird. Duh!"
So you know you want to review and tell me what you think! Please? I'm begging here!
