I Do Not Own 6teen

Lots a Lot a Love, Kandikitty

I sighed leaning my head in my hand. My shift was one of the last to start today so the rest of the gang were already doing their thing. I was about half an hour in to my shift when Mike walked up to me.

"Hey long time no see." He greeted with a 'charming' smile.

"M-Mike what are y-you doing here?" Mike was about 175 centimeters, with brown hair and green eyes. He use to be an intern at my dads job until we went out and he wanted something I wasn't willing to do.

"Heard you had started working here and thought I'd pay you a visit." He winked. This creep! How did I ever find him hot?

"I have a restraining order on you! How do you even know where I work?" I looked around the counter trying to find where I set my phone.

"I have my ways." He finally dropped her pseudo smile. "Just agree to go on another date with me and we will call it good."

I took a step back. "No! Never! Especially after what you did to me..." I gulped, where the hell was my phone!?

"We had such a good time until you said no." His eyebrow twitched, "Come on babe, don't be such a drag. Just a movie." He leaned over the counter staring at me like I was his prey.

"I already said no Mike, please just leave me alone." I tried to take another step back but I felt the counter dig into my lower back.

" S'problem here?" Nikki growled stepping over to the counter. Oh thank god!

"Nothing concerning you, freak. Now step off, can't you see we are busy?" Mike pushed off the counter sticking his chest out in what I guess was suppose to be a menacing stance.

Nikki just about laughed at him "Look here dumb ass your so called business is with my girl. Now shove off or I'm going to put you in the hospital."

Nikki was tough but I know Mike, I didn't want her getting hurt... "Nikki just drop it he isn't worth it." I stutter, I hadn't moved hoping this would just end soon.

"Listen to the lady, dyke. She ain't 'your' girl anymore." He smirked.

Before I could stop her, Nikki slammed her fist into Mikes jaw. He blinked a few times taken back that someone had just hit him. In the next few minutes they were full on brawling in front of me. I saw Mike elbow Nikki in the mouth and blood start gushing out. I screamed not knowing what else to do. Frantically I searched for my phone. I called Jude who said he's be over shortly. I also hit the emergency button under the counter- a direct link to Ron. Jude was the fastest quickly followed by Jonesy. They grabbed Nikki by her arms trying to pull her off. She wasn't having it, Mike was barely trying to protect himself form the on slot of Nikki's fists.

"Dude, he's down!" Jude said as the two finally pulled her up and into a chair at our table.

I felt Ron's hand on my shoulder as he walked me a few tables down to talk to me.

"Alright what just happened?" He demand looking over to the bleeding boy on the ground.

"That's Mike my ex-boyfriend. I have a restraining order on him and Nikki knew that. Once she saw him near me she tried to get him to leave but he wouldn't. He antagonized her and than..." I felt the tears rushing down my face, oh Nikki I'm so sorry.

Ron was writing everything I said down. "I see. I'll have to confirm your story with Nikki. Later. Now I need to get this kid out of here and to a hospital." I nodded as he went to go pick up Mike and set him in the cart Ron used to get around.

I looked over to the table. Jen had showed up with a sports towel and was trying to clean up Nikki. She had blood all over her shirt and hands. This is all my fault...

I got up walking over slowly.

"Caitlin!" Nikki stood up standing in front of me. "You're okay right? Like you're crying, I didn't hurt you right? That thing didn't..." She didn't finish her sentence instead her arms reached out to me than suddenly dropped. Was she going to hug me?

"Nikki you're...bleeding" I tried to smile to make this all a joke but I was so worried about her.

She sank back in my usual chair taking the towel from Jen and furiously wiping at her mouth. She'd be okay right?

"Uh! Care to explain!?" Jen shouted slamming her hands down on the table.

I caught Nikki's gaze as she spoke "I'm not...some guy was hitting on Catlin and..." She didn't know what happened... she must have just went crazy on him. I came to her rescue it was the least I could do.

"Long story short Nikki saw I was in trouble and beat the snot out of that guy." I frown slightly "He did get a couple of punches in," I tried not to look to long at Nikki I couldn't bare seeing her so... fragile, "I explained everything to Ron so he isn't allowed back in the mall and Nikki isn't in trouble."

"Oh... Well go Nikki? I guess..." Jen questioningly stated while taking her usual seat.

"Hardcore dude, next time like try and cover your face though. That's gonna leave a wicked cut." Jude said spoke looking at Nikki like she was some sort of novelty.

"You should let a real man handle it next time Nikki. Just call one of us okay?" Jonesy said leaning back in his chair.

"Fuck off Jonesy!" Nikki almost yelled. "I handled it just fine. I don't need a fucking jobless jerk to protect my girls!" She was up again yelling in Jonesy face. What was with her today...?

"Nikki I was just-"

"Shut up! I don't need to hear your lame excuses! Believe it or not some girls don't need a guy to save them!" Those were her parting words as she marched off away from the group.

"What did I do!?" Jonesy huffed crossing his arms on the table.

"Dude you practically said she was weak." Jude shuttered, everyone knew better than to call Nikki weak.

"I did not I just said-" He stopped talking from the glare Jen and I were both sending him.

We turned to look at each other. "Ive never seen her like that Jen...It was pretty scary." I wrapped my arms around myself.

Jen looked down. "She hasn't fought anyone since Garry Macmillan in year 8..." Jen trailed off look at the boys who both nodded.

"Yeah she was almost expelled for that one." Jonesy said.

"Dude had his arm broken in like 3 different places." Jude added.

"Why did she do that?" I asked looking at them expectantly.

They all sort of shrugged trying to remember what exactly happened.

"He was a jerk really and I guess Nikki had finally had enough when he was teasing that girl.." Jen said with her brows pushed together.

"Oh yeah! What was her name?" Jude asked.

Jonesy shrugged. "I didn't know her." Jen nodded in agreement. "Her and Nikki hug out every once in awhile until she transferred like a month after that."

I looked to where Nikki set off to. "Do you think it's wise for us to leave her alone like this? What if something happens?" We all took a second to let that sink in. A lot of things pissed Nikki off and if she was so egger to jump down Jonesy throat who knows what she would do to someone she didn't know.

"I'll take the third floor!" Jen jumped off running to the elevator.

"First floors mine dudes!" Jude said jumping his board toward the escalator.

"Caitlin look in the girls washrooms. I'll take the rest of this floor." Jonsey ordered running off the way Nikki went.

I searched the washrooms on this floor and the food court. After about 10 minutes my phone rang. "Hello?" I greeted.

"Conference call Caitlin." Wyatt stated.

"Oh hey guys, did anyone find her?" I asked.

"Looked everywhere down here man," Jude said sounding out of breath.

"Negatory on the second floor." Jonesy stated in defeat.

"Same here... Where else could she have gone?" Jen asked.

"Did you guys try her work? Maybe she went there. When does her shift start?" Wyatt asked.

there was silence for a minute, none of us knew when exactly her shift started. As she said many times she kind of makes her own hours.

"Nikki!" Wyatt greeted.

"Is she there Wyatt!?" Jen practically screamed.

"Yeah guys she is here call off the search. I got this bye!" He whispered the last part before hanging up.

"This is good Wyatt's good with her." Jonesy said almost sadly.

"Yeah no need to worry now dudes. Well Catcha later I needa get back to work." The other two pretty much said the same thing as we ended the call. I sighed, the five of them have known each other for so long sometimes I feel left out. I'm usually just happy they excepted me as one of them...but sometimes I just feel alone with all their inside jokes and stories. They've practically lived their whole lives together. How could I compete with that? The next hour or so was pretty slow just a couple customers here and there. Tuesdays weren't really a busy day for the mall. This left me with way too much time to think-mostly about Nikki. She could have gotten seriously injured, I mean she did get hurt but it could have been so much worse...

"Earth to Caitlin." A voice said while a hand moved in front of my face.

"Oh hey... How's your lip Nikki?" I asked reaching my hand out. I traced her bottom lip before stopping on the cut. Who knew her lips were so soft?

"Sore but other than that it's okay." She slid a Grind Me cup over to me "For you. For a... Freaking you out today."

I moved my hand away from her face taking the coffee between my palms "Thanks Nikki." I took a sip and smiled, this was an off the menu item Charmaine made especially for me when I was having a bad day. "You didn't freak me out BTW" I finally said after a few drinks.

My purple haired companion looked at me blankly "What?"

I giggled "It was sweet."

"Uh once again, what?"

"You called me your girl than beat Mike up! That's the sweetest thing anyone's done for me" It really was, I felt my heart pound as I admitted this out loud.

She sat there still staring at me "What's with this Mike guy anyway it seemed like you knew him?"

"Oh um... He is an ex boyfriend." I shifted uncomfortably "I'd rather not talk about it."

"Whatever you say." She raised an eyebrow but didn't pry on the subject.

We sat in silence for a bit as I drank my coffee and Nikki kept playing with her lip. It must really hurt...

"You don't have to be so tough all the time Nik." I said not really thinking it through.

"Excuse me?" She asked.

"Hold on." I can't believe I said that out loud! I kept my eyes away from her making a frozen lemon twist. "Here." I pressed the cold cup to her lip which she flinched away from before sighing.

She sat there content as I held the cup "Thanks." She murmured.

She is really cute... "Nikki not that I mind helping you, but I do kinda need my hand."

She opened one eye "Oh sorry" When she took the cup she grabbed my hand in the process. On instinct we both pulled away dropping the cup in progress. "Shit" She grumbled most of the drink spilt on the shirt that looked like Wyatt's. "Well there goes that idea." She than took the shirt off and dried her hands with it.

"Oh Nikki..." Her tank top had way more blood than I remembered. How much of it was hers?

"S'no biggie." Nikki shrugged "I'm so gonna scare the clones though." She laughed lightly.

"Oh no no no! You are not going to work like that!"

"What's wrong with it? Well besides the blood?" She smiled a knowing smile looking down at the ruined top.

"Come on we are going shopping." Before she could protest, I was out from behind the lemon and pulling her along with me to Frilly and Pink. I looked around, I tried not to grab too bright of colors because I know how much Nikki hates them but I couldn't help it. I picked up a plethora of shirts. Two pink, one blue, three white, a black one (as a fall back), a light yellow one and a purple one. I pushed them all into Nikki's arms before opening the changing room door and shoving her in.

"Caitlin you've got to be kidding with some of these." I barely heard Nikki say. I giggled softly sitting in a chair outside the fitting room. I briefly wondered if she would try all of them on or just pick the black one. My bets were for the latter.

"Alright Caitlin, this one will do."

I squealed. "Let me see, let me see!" She unlocked the door letting me in. My suppositions were correct, she was wearing the black one. "Oh come on Nik! It's pretty but.. Try something new!" The door shut behind me. I start going through the discarded clothes, I picked the black one as a back up there is no way I'm going down without a fight!

"Caitlin you picked out all of these! And really it's just a shirt and its-"

I pretended to not hear her as I pick dup the blue one, I really liked this one. I might have to buy it for myself. "This one!"

"No." She deadpanned crossing my arms.

"Oh but Nikki! You need to get out of your comfort zone with clothes, I think if you try this it'll really help you-" as I spoke I started moving toward her. Maybe I could force her into it but my foot got caught on one of the hangers sending me falling into her. I grabbed her shoulders keeping me up right. I heard her head hit the wall. Ouch...

"Great" she mumbled, "How many times can I get hurt in one day?" I watched as she opened her eyes looking a little disorientated. "You okay Cait?" She asked shifting her feet. She is so warm...I don't want to move. I pressed my forehead to her collarbone feeling her grip tighten on my hips. She smells amazing how come I never noticed that before? I moved my head a bit touching my nose to her neck trying to place the scent... Before I knew it I was kissing Nikki's neck. Oh holy hell she is gonna kill me! Yet instead of pulling away she moved her head giving me more access. I happily kissed the new areas I could reach. I couldn't believe this, my heart was racing. I was completely content to do this all day until I reached her jaw, I kissed here a little harder feeling her nails digging into my sides.

I gasped, I was off the floor pressed between Nikki and the wall-her hands gripping my thighs.

"What was that princess?" She smirked pressing firmly against me. I wrapped my legs around her. God this was so hot.

"W-what was what?" I smiled innocently playing with her hair.

She bit my neck lightly making me gasp again only louder. I tangled my fingers in her purple locks keeping her there. Her teeth weren't too sharp and she wasn't bitting too hard. It felt so good. I could feel her start to suck on the same spot- totally going to leave a massive hickie. I bit my lip trying to keep myself from moaning, that was so my sweet spot. I felt the smirk on my neck, she was never going to let that go.

She looked at me still smirking "Oh. I could so get use to this." she said squeezing my thighs before gently setting me on my feet. She paid for her shirt and headed back to the lemon. "I'll see you at closing alright?"

"Of coarse!" I beamed. Nikki leaned over the counter kissing my cheek before walking off to work.

I sighed happily before pulling out my phone and calling Jen. This was way too big to not tell someone!

"Oh. My. God. Jen you are never going to believe what just happened!" I squealed into the phone as soon as she answered. Leaving out the more intimate deals I relaid everything to the redhead.
