CHAPTER TWO:
Gia got up and greeted Zander with a very friendly hug, as if they were really good friends. Nikolas couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as he watched Zander maul Gia. "Hey Zander, it's so good to see you. How come you haven't come to see me lately?!!!", Gia said. Zander replied, "Well, I'm so sorry but a certain beautiful model never seems to be able to fit me into her schedule!". Gia pouted and playfully punched him. Then she remembered about Nikolas and opted to introduce the two. She was oblivious to the past these two men share. She turned around swiftly and said, "Zander, I want to you to meet Nikolas! I just met him." The two guys just stood there. Nikolas clenched his fists while Zander simply looked at him with a smug expression. Gia noticed the tension and wasn't quite sure what to do about the VERY awkward situation. "Zander.", Nikolas said calmly. Then he faced Gia and said, " Gia, it was fun talking to you but I better get going. Maybe we can meet up later for dinner or a movie." Gia was confused at what just happened and simply nodded and said, " Uh yeah. Sure. I'll see you around." The two said goodbyes and Nikolas walked up the stairs of the docks. "Gia." Zander said sternly. "What?", Gia replied. "I don't think you should hang around that guy. He is big trouble and his family is a whole other web that you don't want to get tangled into." Zander said worriedly. "Zander, I'm a big girl! I can take care of myself. Besides he seems nice.... What's it to you anyways? You two looked like you were minutes from ripping each other's heads off!" Gia said loudly. "I just don't like him. There was a lot of stuff that went on before you got here and he just blames me for everything. That guy would blame me for his shoelace being untied if he could. Gia, just listen to me. Please be careful around him." Zander warned. Gia simply looked at him and said, " Alright! Geez, DAD! I will stay away from him, just as long as you promise me that you'll call more often! I worry about you, you know. I've known you since we were little and I don't want us to drift apart until we aren't even in each other's lives anymore." Zander simply nodded. Behind them, Nikolas stood. He listened to what lies Zander was telling Gia. Nikolas was Prince and could get anything he wanted. He wanted Gia.
