Often the best way to overcome desire is to satisfy it - W. Sommerset Maugham
---
Five years and twenty days, that's how long Harry Cunningham had been in love, since the first time he had seen Nikki Alexander standing in the lab she had gate crashed in spectacular fashion. Smiling to himself Harry allowed himself to steal a glance at the woman he was thinking about who was sitting at her laptop at her desk. His smile faded however when he realised that he couldn't tell her how he felt, there was something stopping him from walking over to her and kissing her like he had wanted too since he had met her. Nikki, as if she knew she was being watched, looked up from her laptop and gave him a smile that had his heart jumping and he sent one back to her before going back to his work.
Nikki's smile faded slightly when he saw Harry shoot her a small smile then go back to his work. She sighed to herself and saved her work before standing up and pulling on her coat. Saying goodbye to Harry she received a short answer in reply and walked out of the lab, confusion running through her mind. On her way home she mused on her relationship with Harry. They were best friends, nothing more, as much as she wanted more she knew she couldn't have it, Harry didn't like her like that. She felt her eyes filling up when she thought about it and wiped at her eyes furiously, she had made herself a promise when she was younger that she would never cry over a man and here she was crying over her best friend.

A few hours later when Nikki was sitting in front of the television watching the news there was a sharp knock at her door. Standing up she wondered who would be calling for her at this time of the night she opened the door and was about to greet Harry who was on her doorstep when he stepped into the house, kicked the door shut behind him and covered her lips with his own. Nikki moaned in surprise and brought her hands automatically to his shoulders and allowed him to deepen the kiss as he pushed her back into the wall behind her and ran one hand down her side and up the front of the baggy t-shirt she was wearing. They broke apart for air but Nikki leant up and kissed him again, showing how much she wanted him. After a while they broke apart and Harry leant his forehead on hers both of them breathing heavily.
"Wh..where..where did that come from?" Nikki stuttered as she tried to collect her thoughts into something coherent.
"Five years and twenty days of pent up desire" Harry replied not removing himself from Nikki's personal space, not that she was complaining "and I promise you that was just the start of it"
I thought the quote at the top of the page was very Harry/Nikki..if they would hurry up and get together. *hint hint writers* lol! :D
Do any of you have any ideas for a multi chap fic?
