Nikki's mind drifted as she sat getting ready to join Harry and Leo for Drinks as they had planned much earlier before Leo left for home.
Though she would never have answered Kessler's question aloud, knowing him to be a player of sick and twisted mind games as well as a horrifically violent man, it didn't however prevent her from answering it in her own mind.
The answer was definitely C. She did want children. She was waiting for Mr Right. Kessler had been right though. Mr Right was blind to her feelings and always would be so she had resolved herself to short relationships in the hope she would find a new Mr Right.
She knew deep down though that this wouldn't happen. There was only one Mr Right for her and had been for over six years since that day when working on the train crash she had, to his pink heated cheeks, removed her red lace bra and started dissecting it in front of him.
Yes, she Dr Nikki Alexander was head over heels for the delicious Dr Harry Cunningham. She didn't just want a few kisses or one night that, she dreamed, fantasised, would be heavenly but she wanted more. She didn't even want just a relationship with him. She wanted him to be her present, her future, her forever. Her future husband, the father of the someday children for whom she would control her workaholic tendencies.
She looked up as her phone rang pulling her from her thoughts.
"Oh hey Harry am I running late? You know what I'm like"
"Hey Nikki and unless you are about to step out the door yes but um it's not happening …. unless you want to meet up with just me for take away and a drink ."
"Um whats happened and I still need to find my shoes you want me to come over there or are you heading over"
"I'm already out the house so I'll head over if thats ok and …. Janet and Leo have kind of ended … Leo wasn't very clear .. he insisted he was ok his choice but . I'm not sure we'll keep an eye on him I guess. I'l be over as soon as the Chinese is ready same as always yeah?" he enquired already knowing the answer.
"Of course …. see you soon I'll find the wine"
So Nikki thought to herself once more as she put the wine bottles into the fridge she and Harry were yet again going to be alone with alcohol and her feelings for him were playing on her mind. Maybe she shouldn't control herself maybe she should just go for it and kiss him. He was caring compassionate and protective especially of her …. she'd noticed that these past few months in particular.
Maybe tonight she could just tell him and if not they could ignore it right, after all they were both excellent at ignoring things maybe Harry wasnt blind to it maybe he just thought she was?
It tuns out Harry wasn't blind at all just a little scared, scared of hurting her, scared of being like his father, or hers. He hadn't wanted to hurt her and as they had shared the sweet tentative kisses of newly discovered love that evening they both knew they had many hurts to heal but they could do it together and united they could help even Leo and Janet heal.
